Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

This scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone present.

Director Lu's team consists of very experienced professionals who occasionally shoot music videos and have worked with a considerable number of artists.

But no artist has ever moved them so deeply, to the point of shock, as Li Ye.

It's not that Li Ye is dedicated; no matter what, even if he falls and gets injured, he will still grit his teeth and persevere until the director yells "cut."

Although the entertainment industry has left a very bad impression on the outside world, there are also many dedicated artists.

Moreover, these artists are not only dedicated, but also more professional and efficient than Li Ye...

On the monitor, the image was split in two: one a close-up, the other showing him walking.

The close-up shot, taken from below, shows Li Ye's heavy steps, his conspicuous bruised knees, and his right hand pressed against his trouser leg, his palm a bright red.

Sweat dripped down his chin as it swept across his heaving chest, and a few strands of wet hair clung to his cheeks.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes held no trace of determination, only calmness.

Yet within this calm, there seems to be a powerful force at play.

Director Lu found it hard to describe the feeling, but in the noisy scene, he seemed to hear Li Ye's singing voice - "Keep moving forward, just keep going."

"This is a short film? This is art!" Director Lu muttered to himself, feeling that art had been created at this moment.

"Explorers never stop!"

In this situation, even the film crew couldn't help but think of the brand's slogan.

Watching Li Ye's limping figure, the Explorers' creative team was so moved they almost cried.

They wrote the script, so they know how ordinary it is.

After the filming began, they were very nervous, afraid that they wouldn't get the desired effect.

But at this moment, it was done, everything was done!

"Click!"

As Li Ye walked up the slope, Director Lu immediately shouted to stop.

A large group of people ran towards Li Ye.

"Take a rest for a while." Liang Xiaochuan walked over and felt a little sorry for Li Ye, who was covered in mud.

He hadn't expected that Li Ye would have such difficulty filming a simple scene, and that he would be so dedicated.

Especially Li Ye's clumsy method.

"Brother!" Li Xiran came to Li Ye's side with red eyes.

"Why are you crying? It was just a fall."

Li Ye's hands were covered in mud, so he gave up on rubbing Li Xiran's head, smiled at her, and then shook his head, saying, "No need to rest. Let's finish filming in one go before the sun goes down. I don't want to drag it out until tomorrow."

"But there's still almost a kilometer to go before the last scene..."

Seeing that Li Ye's attitude was clear, Liang Xiaochuan had no choice but to shut up and said, "Then shall two people help you over?"

"Need not."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Director Lu, could we shoot it in one take? You can edit it later."

Everyone was filled with awe once again.

Actually, Li Ye was just worried that if his knee pain subsided by tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to pull off the limp so naturally...

"Let's shoot a shot of you sitting down to rest after you've climbed the hill."

Director Lu thought Li Ye's suggestion was good.

The path from here to the cliff edge on the coast isn't exactly easy to walk; it's mostly a gravel road, but at least you don't have to climb uphill anymore.

In the script, Li Ye climbs up the slope and reaches his destination.

After the change, going uphill doesn't necessarily mean reaching the destination directly. It allows you to rest and have a short break, making the road ahead much easier. It's a pretty good way to express this idea.

Li Ye had no choice but to sit down. After Director Lu called "Action," he took the opportunity to check his wound.

It's alright, just a superficial injury.

Without much rest, Li Ye pulled down the right leg of his trousers and limped forward again.

He walked slowly, trying to avoid his pants rubbing against the wound on his knee.

It took almost half an hour to travel less than a kilometer.

There is a bush here with a gap in the middle.

Li Ye crawled out of the gap and came to a bare cliff with some loose rocks on the side.

After taking a few steps forward, Li Ye looked down and took in the scenery below the cliff. Then he looked up at the sea, and his calm expression finally changed. The corners of his mouth began to turn up, and he gradually grinned, revealing his white teeth.

The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see, waves crash against the rocks, the setting sun hangs like blood on the horizon, and occasionally a few seagulls fly by.

A gentle sea breeze dispelled the heat, accompanied by the sounds of waves and birdsong...

Before the director could call "cut," Li Ye simply went with his own feelings—

He took off his backpack to use as a pillow, lay on the ground in a starfish position, and comfortably closed his eyes.

"Perfect!" Director Lu looked at the monitor screen, then at the drone footage, and shouted excitedly.

He felt he had filmed the most perfect GG of his career.

Although from a technical standpoint, he has taken many more sophisticated and creative photos.

But this was the first time he had the feeling that he wasn't actually filming GG.

Li Ye heard Director Lu's voice, but he remained motionless.

Without clear instructions, who knows if the filming is finished?

He really didn't want to do it again, especially this part which had a touch of drama.

Liang Xiaochuan quickly realized Li Ye's idea, consulted Director Lu who was still engrossed in filming, and only after receiving confirmation did he call out, "Ah Ye, that's a wrap."

"receive!"

Li Ye still didn't get up, stretching lazily on the ground: "Can I rest for a bit?"

These three days have really exhausted him.

The physical torment is one aspect, but the most unbearable part is the mental one. Filming a movie is full of setbacks.

This made Li Ye a little worried. What would happen if he released an album and made a music video later?

After lying down for about ten minutes, the film crew had almost finished packing up their equipment, and Li Ye had also recovered. After drinking some water, he was fully rejuvenated and full of energy.

"Do you want someone to carry you back?" Liang Xiaochuan asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

After all, it's about a kilometer away from where we parked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu immediately came over and said, "I can do it."

"Thanks, Brother Tiger, but it's not that bad."

Li Ye smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Liang Xiaochuan, who was looking at him with great satisfaction and emotion, and asked, "Mr. Liang, when do you plan to release this video?"

"The sooner the better. It all depends on when Director Lu finishes editing. We've already produced a batch of our new product."

Without hesitation, Liang Xiaochuan added, "By the way, we'll confirm the time with you in advance for the offline event in Guangzhou."

This is a requirement clearly stated in the contract; Li Ye is required to support Explorers at least once a year in person.

Of course, one appearance is a voluntary one, and subsequent appearances require negotiation and payment of appearance fees.

Li Ye hesitated for a moment because of this, and then asked, "President Liang, could we please not notify or publicize this event in advance?"

"Then what's the point of holding any activities?"

Liang Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask a question, but seeing that Li Ye seemed to have bumped his knee on his pants and was grimacing in pain, he immediately added, "You can also share your thoughts."

"If there's no publicity, I can extend my appearance to three hours, or even an entire afternoon."

Li Ye took off his hat, tossed his hair, and said, "Or we could do the promotion an hour or two earlier that day."

"Why?" Liang Xiaochuan frowned.

Most celebrities do not resist offline business activities.

After all, they can receive a substantial appearance fee and gain significant exposure through brand promotion.

Although Explorers isn't a big brand right now, it has the capability and its planned marketing investment is quite substantial.
