Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

"Isn't it said to be pretty good online? I'll listen to it when I get home tonight."

How come I don't know what was said online?

Moreover, you bought a physical vinyl record... The staff member barely suppressed the urge to complain.

Jiang Tao calmly put away his phone and then said in a composed manner, "There's no use in rushing. This is a special case. Things will return to normal next week."

"..."

The staff weren't in a hurry anymore. After all, if even the program's top leader wasn't in a hurry, why should he be?

At 9:30 PM, the live broadcast of "Singer" ended. Jiang Tao finished his work and returned home close to midnight.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he went to his study, lay down on the soft sofa, and just as he connected his phone to the speaker, there was a knock on the door.

After two knocks, the door opened, and Jiang Tao's wife walked in with a helpless smile on her face: "I knew you'd want to listen to Li Ye's album when you got back."

Jiang Tao chuckled twice and patted the spot next to the sofa.

"Wait me a moment."

The wife turned and went out, returning with half a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

After closing the door, which was fitted with soundproofing, the two drank red wine and listened to "Wilderness".

Although red wine doesn't quite match the style of "Wilderness," what's needed is a slightly tipsy and relaxed feeling.

It was nearly 1 a.m. when the two of them had listened to all ten songs of "Wilderness" from beginning to end.

Looking at Jiang Tao, who was clearly too excited to sleep, his wife yawned and said helplessly, "I know you're disappointed that Li Ye didn't come to 'Singer,' but aren't you a little obsessed?"

"Is there?"

Jiang Tao got up, went to his desk, turned on his computer, and gave a casual reply.

His wife shook her head, left the study first, and went back to her room to sleep.

Jiang Tao had already typed a lot of words in the text box on Weibo without stopping: "After listening to 'Wilderness,' I was so excited that I couldn't be more excited. This is definitely one of the best albums I've ever listened to!"

I even felt a sense of pride because of this.

I have a very good eye. After Li Ye released "The Ordinary Road", I included him in the invitation list for this season of "Singer".

However, having too good a eye isn't always a good thing.

...]

......

It's the weekend, and many netizens are still awake.

The Wildfire fans, in particular, were so excited they couldn't sleep, searching everywhere for positive reviews about Li Ye.

Many people saw Jiang Tao's thousand-word essay immediately, which contained his "deep affection" for Li Ye and the heartache of "unrequited love".

Jiang Tao is no nobody. As the person who created a phenomenal music variety show, he is definitely a big shot and an authority in the industry in the eyes of the public.

Moreover, Jiang Tao and Li Ye have a history of grudges!

Li Ye has repeatedly stolen the spotlight from the trending topics on "Singer," which has long been a source of amusement for netizens.

Although netizens were just joking and didn't mean much harm, it still caused dissatisfaction among some "Singer" fans.

Jiang Tao's short essay was clearly unexpected by most netizens.

This has further convinced more people of one thing—"Wilderness" is truly amazing, and Li Ye is truly incredible.

After all, even Jiang Tao, who had a "grudge" against Li Ye, listened to "Wilderness" after finishing his live broadcast of "Singer" and stayed up late at night to write a long essay of more than a thousand words, which can be described as a confession.

Many netizens left comments under Jiang Tao's Weibo post: "Just give in to him, @Li Ye"

Ironically, Jiang Tao also left a comment in his own comment section: 【Just give in to me @Li Ye】

He then pinned his comment to the top of his chat list.

......

At three in the morning, Kong Lingxiao was still awake.

His performance on "Singer" is getting better and better, and he still managed to get a good third place in tonight's competition.

Well, apart from his own fans, nobody else cares.

Kong Lingxiao was furious!

However, his anger this time was not about why no one appreciated his performance.

"Damn, this is incredibly well-written, holy crap!"

Kong Lingxiao has lost count of how many times he has listened to "Wilderness". Anyway, he went straight back to the hotel after participating in the live broadcast of "Singer" and has been listening to it ever since.

If his stomach hadn't been growling with hunger, he probably would still be completely absorbed in this album.

As he blew on the scalding hot instant noodles, all he could think was, "Damn, how is that so awesome?"

Kong Lingxiao always dreamed of winning the championship in "Singer" and then meeting Li Ye in another program as the winner.

But after hearing "Wilderness," he just wanted to fast-forward to the day he recorded another show.

What's the point of being a champion!

Kong Lingxiao slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles, wincing as the broth scalded him, but then he thought, "No, I still have to win the championship."

......

That night, many singers and musicians, like Kong Lingxiao, listened to "Wilderness" countless times before finally falling asleep.

Those singers who postponed releasing songs or albums are incredibly grateful that they were clear-headed enough.

If it were to be compared to "Wilderness" at the same time, it would be no different from going head-to-head with the Universiade on the street.

......

Li Ye was sleeping soundly.

I got up a little later than usual today. When I came back after my run and packed breakfast, my uncle and aunt were already awake and waiting for me.

"Wow, I'm finally back."

Li Chengsong put down his phone, got up and took the breakfast that Li Ye had packed back.

Ding Yan walked to the dining table and sat down, reminding him, "There's an interview with Penguin Music at ten o'clock, don't forget. And if you're going skiing with Xiran, remember to come back early."

"I'm not going today," Li Ye said decisively, shaking his head.

He still has internet access and knows how popular "Wilderness" is.

It's no secret that he frequents the Sunac Ski Resort; if he gets recognized, he'll be in big trouble.

Li Ye took a shower and changed his clothes, and Li Xiran also got up full of energy, suddenly singing: "[Still free and myself, forever singing my song~]"

After finishing her bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, Ding Yan calmly said, "If you keep singing your song, your brother will beat you up."

Li Ye couldn't help but chuckle. His younger sister's voice was nice, but like Xueying, she was a bit tone-deaf.

10:00 AM, Star Recording Studio.

Li Ye, Zhang Xiaoqi, and the host from Tencent Music began this somewhat informal interview in the style of a tea party.

"From the first time I met Li Ye, I knew he had extraordinary talent in music. You wouldn't believe it, but back then he didn't have a single composition, yet he dared to reject three of my arrangement proposals in a row."

"How long did it take to write this album? Less than three months at most, that's right, all of it was written and composed by Li Ye himself."

"He not only wrote the lyrics and composed the music, but he also participated a lot in the arrangement of the album, but he just didn't want to put his name on it."

"..."

Half an hour into the interview, Li Ye had only said one sentence to the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Li Ye."
