Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

After finishing work, Li Chengsong sent the driver the address for dinner that night, and then got into Li Ye's car.

"I didn't expect the filming to proceed so quickly. It feels like it will be finished in less than ten days," Li Ye said, trying to start a conversation.

He has been back to his uncle's house these past few days, but his uncle is still angry about the surfing incident and is ignoring him.

"It's not that fast. The music video for 'The Ordinary Road' is just simpler."

Li Chengsong shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll arrange for everyone to eat at a street food stall. Firstly, there won't be many people, so it won't cost much."

Secondly, now that you're a big star, you need to be careful not to give anyone cause for gossip.

In the future, if you encounter a similar situation, don't be stingy.

But don't be a sucker.

"Yes, I know." Li Ye nodded seriously.

The car suddenly fell silent.

The car drove along the coastal road, bathed in the orange-red glow of the sunset.

The two were alone in the car, and Li Ye felt it was a good time to talk things out, so he was just about to speak.

"Uncle apologizes to you," Li Chengsong suddenly said.

Li Ye panicked and quickly said, "I should apologize to you; I was too willful."

Li Chengsong rolled down the car window, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and gazed at the sea view outside: "It's my fault for having adult expectations of you, yet treating you like a child."

Amidst the swirling smoke, he said slowly, "You've grown up a long time ago."

Li Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands, grinned at the road ahead, and said, "No, with you and Auntie, I'll never grow up."

"Stop being cheeky! And don't think I'm giving you permission to do those dangerous sports!"

Li Chengsong took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He hasn't been sleeping well lately because he keeps dreaming of Li Ye jumping around in the waves or leaping off a snow-capped mountain, which makes his heart clench.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and softened his tone: "I know I can't stop you, but I hope you'll keep your word, always remember that safety is the most important thing, and remember... that someone is worried about you."

Li Ye nodded emphatically, thinking to himself that he was lucky he had resisted the urge to ask Sun Hui for a car to take to the track today.

He hesitated for a moment: "You should smoke less too."

Let's not find a job for Uncle, so he doesn't have to stay up all night smoking on set every day.

Li Chengsong didn't answer. He picked up the half-empty bottle of mineral water, drank it until only a little was left, and then threw the cigarette butt in.

This was the first time he had worked with Li Ye.

Li Ye and Sun Hui were fooling each other, which was somewhat ridiculous.

Li Chengsong, however, saw Li Ye's skill in handling interpersonal relationships.

This also shows Li Ye's standing in the eyes of outsiders.

Is it really impossible for Sun Hui to find someone to make a cameo appearance?

Given his status, which has long surpassed that of an entertainer, and with Xia Yue starring, if he were to say something like that, countless entertainers would line up to come.

Not to mention, Sun Hui even brought Xia Yue along to film a music video for Li Ye.

Li Chengsong felt gratified, yet also somewhat saddened.

The child has really grown up; time flies so fast.

Li Ye drove the car attentively.

Uncle finally relented, but he wasn't particularly happy.

Because he doesn't want to grow up, he just wants time to slow down, slow down and slow down some more.

……

The next day, Li Ye got up early and continued filming the music video.

The music video project for "Wilderness" has been discussed many times.

Because every song was a potential hit, we almost had to make music videos for all of them.

Ultimately, Li Ye vetoed the proposal and selected four songs.

These are "Blue Lotus", "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", "The Ordinary Road", and the Mandarin version of "I".

The stories of the four music videos can be loosely connected: setting off fearlessly, shouting freely, continuing on the road even when beaten by reality, and finding, accepting, and loving oneself.

The overall concept of the music video is quite simple, and it wasn't produced on a large scale.

Li Chengsong also demonstrated his professionalism, arranging everything perfectly.

Li Ye only needed to follow the steps to shoot, and there was not much pressure in shooting. The efficiency was quite high.

Although they hadn't finished filming a music video by the second day, the overall progress was already a quarter complete.

On their third day in Zhucheng, Sun Hui and Xia Yue arrived as promised, setting aside half a day for them.

Since he only had half a day, Li Chengsong canceled all the outdoor scenes and moved to a local photography studio instead.

With two award-winning actors filming a music video, it's practically a guaranteed hit.

Less than two hours later, only the final shot remained.

On the simple little stage, Li Ye was dressed like a normal college student, in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, holding a guitar and standing in the center.

Sun Hui, who had a bass guitar slung around his waist, was wearing sunglasses, a sleeveless leather jacket that was open to reveal his chest, and black leather pants.

Xia Yue's outfit was even more rebellious. His makeup made him look much older, like a seventy-year-old. He wore a pink wig, diamond-shaped earrings, and sat shirtless in front of the drum set.

There were also dozens of extras surrounding the stage.

As Li Chengsong shouted "Start," after a two-second wait, the chorus of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" began to play.

On stage, Li Ye and the other two instantly got into character and began to sing with great passion (lip-syncing).

Forgive me for my untamed, unrestrained, and freedom-loving life.

I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall...

"Audience, react even more!"

"Li Ye, put more effort into your expression."

"That's right, Mr. Xia Yue's swing could be a bit wider."

Li Chengsong would occasionally raise a small loudspeaker to give instructions.

Still free, forever singing my song.

Traveling thousands of miles...

On stage, Li Ye's passion was still within a normal range.

Sun Hui was already in tears, his fingers haphazardly strumming the bass strings.

Xia Yue, who was playing the drums, had his pink wig flying wildly, but one of his earrings, which was stuck on his ear, had fallen off at some point.

"Click!"

Li Chengsong called out and looked back at the footage on the monitor.

Li Ye went over to take a look and realized just how passionate the two award-winning actors' performances were, yet they weren't at all exaggerated.

Look at Sun Hui calmly wiping away his tears, and then look at Xia Yue still searching for his earring on the ground.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

He truly deserves to be called a veteran actor.

However, a few extras just made a mistake.

They should have reacted with surprise or even jubilation, but instead they looked dumbfounded and incredulous.

It seemed like they were startled by the people on stage.

After three retakes, it was finally done, and Sun Hui and Xia Yue finished their scenes in "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

"Thank you both, teachers. You've worked hard." Li Chengsong immediately called over a staff member to wipe his sweat and offer him water.

Sun Hui waved his hand: "No need to say such things."

"You kept calling me 'teacher' while we were filming, and I almost didn't realize it."

Xia Yue shook his head and laughed, "Didn't we agree to each do their own thing?"

"I can call him Brother Song too," Li Ye said with a grin as he walked over.

After chatting for a few minutes, Sun Hui and Xia Yue hurriedly left again, as they had a night shoot tonight.
