Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Chapter 157 Who in the world does not know you?

At Liu Yufen's house, Li Ye and Zhong Manyue arrived just in time for dinner. After chatting for a while, they sat down at the table.

After helping the nanny, Sister Hua, to serve the food, Zhong Manyue, wearing a round-brimmed hat and with her hair naturally falling to her waist, asked the three of them to take a group photo with her bare face.

The three sat at the dinner table. Li Ye held up his phone high, with Liu Yufen behind him, and Zhong Manyue at the back deliberately moved aside so that he could include the food in the frame.

After pressing the shutter button several times, Li Ye returned the phone to Zhong Manyue.

After sitting down again, Liu Yufen smiled kindly and said, "Is this the first time we've eaten together?"

Li Ye nodded and took a sip of the delicious soup. The housekeeper at his teacher's house was an excellent cook and knew how to buy the freshest ingredients.

"Teacher, would you say Ah Ye and I are a pair of outstanding students?" Zhong Manyue put down her phone and smiled as she placed a piece of pork rib on Liu Yufen's plate.

"Not only that, not only that, but as young people say these days, you two are two gods!" The old lady laughed happily, even using internet slang.

"This is a perfect example of a great teacher producing a great student!" Li Ye complimented, then took a bite of the radish and beef stew with his chopsticks. The radish melted in his mouth, and the beef was stewed until tender. He was so satisfied that he ate two more mouthfuls of rice.

Liu Yufen doesn't have the custom of not speaking while eating or sleeping. The three of them ate and chatted comfortably and pleasantly.

After dinner, Li Ye and Zhong Manyue parted ways, and Li Ye drove his Accord back home.

After being photographed by the paparazzi, Li Ye's stay at his uncle's place is no longer very secure.

Actually, the security at his own home is worse than that of his uncle's neighborhood, since it's a nearly 20-year-old neighborhood. His aunt is already looking for a place for him, but they haven't decided yet whether to rent or buy.

Having not been home for almost a month, Li Ye meticulously cleaned the house for over an hour. After taking a shower, he found an American or European movie to watch in the living room and casually checked his phone.

It was then discovered that Zhong Manyue had posted a Weibo post with the caption: "[Disciples' gathering~]", and the photo was naturally a group photo of the three of them.

She did not respond to the rumors, but this Weibo post also served to clarify the situation and silenced her fans who had reservations about Li Ye.

Li Ye liked the Weibo post, chatted with Gu Xiaoyu for a bit, then put away his phone and seriously started watching an American or European movie.

He currently only has one English song on hand, and plans to listen to more Western music to see if it can spark a revelation or provide inspiration for his dream world.

After watching a classic movie in its original language, it was already past midnight before I knew it.

Covered with a warm, soft quilt, Li Ye felt the comfort of being wrapped up and quickly entered the dream space.

Tonight is a night of "refreshing" the dream space and receiving a new song.

However, after hearing the song, Li Ye was stunned. Why was it a Japanese song?

【servant's death and thought ったのは

I once thought that it would be over once and for all.

Just because I saw the seagulls crying mournfully on the dock.

Li Ye couldn't understand what was being sung at all, but he was quickly infected by the emotions of the song. His brows furrowed deeply without his notice, and his fists clenched tightly until his knuckles turned white.

After listening, it took Li Ye a long time to come back to his senses. After emerging from his depressed and even desperate mood, he realized with a mix of laughter and tears that he didn't even know the name of the song.

The song title doesn't matter, the real question is, how the hell do I practice this song?

Just the pronunciation of Japanese alone will probably torment him for quite some time.

Before I fully mastered the song, I had almost no memory of it after waking up. Do I have to start learning Japanese on my own?

Moreover, it would be inappropriate for him to release the Japanese version; he would have to write a Chinese version of the lyrics himself.

Li Ye sighed. The only thing he was fortunate about was that he had a good memory and a decent talent for languages, so he could still mimic what a parrot said.

So, for the first time, Li Ye didn't start singing right away. Instead, he found a pen and paper and listened to the song repeatedly, marking the similar Chinese sounds for each Japanese pronunciation, just like he did when he was learning English as a child.

When Li Ye woke up the next day, he had indeed completely forgotten the songs from the dream space, and could only find a Japanese teaching video online in frustration.

He had considered asking Chinatsu Fujiwara, but when it comes to teaching Japanese to Chinese people, the most professional approach is for the Chinese themselves.

Learn some Japanese, watch some Western movies, listen to some Western songs, and the day is over.

It's a new day, and Li Ye is at Wildfire Studio, once again being interviewed by Tencent Music. This time, he's alone, and the main topic of discussion is the success of "Wilderness".

As for why it's still Tencent Music, there are other music platforms as well, but they offer the most money, so they're ranked higher.

"Wilderness" sold over one million copies across all platforms in its first week of release, and continued to rise steadily thereafter. Now, two months later, it officially broke the two million mark last night.

"Physical sales, including CDs and vinyl records, also broke the 200,000 mark an hour ago."

"You broke the sales record for a new artist's debut album, and you also broke the record for physical sales so far this year."

"As a fledgling singer, how do you feel about achieving such remarkable success, surpassing many established top-tier singers?"

It was the same host as last time; after listing these data, she reacted even more excitedly than Li Ye.

Off-camera, Ding Yan was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, watching expressionlessly.

Although his aunt hadn't given him any instructions on how to answer, and this was just her normal expression with no other meaning, he still answered honestly, saying he was both happy and apprehensive...

The host looked slightly disappointed after hearing this. What kind of young people are they if they don't act wildly?

Li Ye pursed his lips, also finding it meaningless. He glanced at his aunt and suddenly said, "I remembered a line of poetry."

"Oh?"

The host adopted a posture of eager interest, and then she saw the handsome young man in front of her, who tossed his slightly curly long hair and said with high spirits, "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, for who in the world doesn't know you?"

"Well, this line of poetry is absolutely perfect for you, A-Ye!"

The host clapped excitedly, saying, "Others recite this poem to borrow courage from the future, but you—you use your past achievements to annotate this poem!"

Off-camera, Ding Yan's lips curved into a warm smile.

At the end of the interview, the host, as is customary, asked Li Ye about his next album. Given the high level of success of his debut album, would he feel any pressure in his next creative endeavors?

What is stress?

Li Ye shook his head, saying he felt no pressure, and revealed that he had already completed some songs for his next album, which would be very different in style from the previous one and might be an album full of contradictions.

The host was overjoyed to receive a definite answer and asked a few more questions on the spot.

Li Ye answered each question one by one. After the interview, the host and the filming crew brought him a physical vinyl record to take photos with him and get his autograph.

The host was the last one. While Li Ye was signing autographs, she kept remarking how well Li Ye had used that line of poetry, and then brought up a topic that hadn't been mentioned in the interview: "I think you can sweep this year's Golden Wheat Awards!"

"Thank you for your kind words." Li Ye smiled happily.

The host sincerely said, "It definitely will. Wilderness has been excellent in both sales and reviews."

Among the new generation of male singers, Kong Lingxiao has the best-selling album. His best-selling album took more than half a year to reach two million copies sold, and even a year later, physical album sales haven't broken two hundred thousand.

Li Ye knew these statistics. Among the new generation of male singers, Kong Lingxiao had the most successful album, while Zhong Manyue had the best sales and reputation among all the new generation of singers.

In fact, let alone the new generation, even established singers with deep roots, except for a very few, have had fewer albums sold better than him in recent years, not to mention their reputation.

However, hearing this still gave him a sense of being very awesome.

It's all about talent and hard work.

The interview with Penguin Music was completed the following evening and posted online.

Li Ye's line, "Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, for who in the world doesn't know you?" helped him dominate the top spot on the trending searches all night.

The news of his new album has truly awakened his fans, who now know him and his hit song "Wilderness."

Fueled by the massive sales figures, everyone got fired up and immediately started the battle.

Gu Xiaoyu and Zhong Manyue's fans have quieted down, but Yu Caiwei's fans are still relentlessly chasing after Li Ye and cursing him.

Every day, marketing accounts post screenshots of Yu Caiwei's comments on the fan app, which have changed from initial angry rebukes to pleading.

Even so, it still couldn't change the fact that most of her fans wanted to stand up for her.

Li Ye had been paying attention all along, but for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was because fans followed their idols' lead, or whether Yu Caiwei had also been subtly influenced and was being controlled.

He also sent a message to comfort Yu Caiwei, saying that he didn't care and that she shouldn't let such a small thing distract her from her work and life.

But Yu Caiwei replied to him, "I wasn't planning on getting involved, but you specifically messaged me, so you must have been affected too. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach them a lesson for you!"

Li Ye stopped replying, which was exactly the same way she communicated with her fans: "I'm not wronged; no, you are."

I'm really fine; you've already spoken up, how could you be completely fine?

Fortunately, in this cycle, Li Ye's fans finally "woke up." Faced with such a massive "force," Yu Caiwei's fans, no matter how strong their fighting power, had to retreat step by step.

Li Ye, who had been enjoying the show, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine—his fans were about to fall asleep again, and then he would face a backlash from Yu Caiwei's fans...

The world is a giant cycle.

Besides the mainstream battles between Li Ye's fans and Yu Caiwei's fans, a small portion of Li Ye's fans have also started to criticize other singers.

This was inevitable, and even if Li Ye tried to stop it, it would be to no avail.

In the following days, Li Ye accepted interviews from two music platforms and a currently popular music review blogger on Douyin.

On the last day of December, Li Ye came to Fanxing and recorded the theme song for "The Journey of Blossoms" with Zhong Manyue. Kong Lingxiao

The poem I wrote.

Wang Fu wanted to bring the entire group of singers to Beijing to record songs together, but Zhong Manyue said she needed to go into seclusion to prepare for the album, so Li Ye took a break.

The recording of the theme song was very quick. Chung Manyue finished in less than fifteen minutes and came out as if she was rushing to the supermarket to grab eggs. She waved her hand expressionlessly, didn't say a word, and left.

After Li Ye finished recording his segment, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Manyue, are you in such a hurry? Does your album still have many songs to go?"

'

"That's alright. There are many songwriters willing to write songs for Manyue. There are six songs that fit her album, and she has written three herself. She will probably write two or three more. That's her creative state. Well, just like her temperament, she is getting further and further away from the crowd."

After answering, Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't help but ask about Li Ye's new album, saying he was worried about it clashing with Zhong Manyue's schedule, but he was actually just curious.

"I'm stuck for now." Li Ye shook his head helplessly. Languages ​​he didn't know were too difficult. He estimated that it would take him another half a month to figure out this Japanese song.

Then I'll need to understand the gist of the lyrics and rewrite them in Chinese. I don't know how long that will take.

However, you can still learn new songs in the dream space.

Li Ye then asked about the style and musical genre of Zhong Manyue's new album, and Zhang Xiaoqi, stroking his chin, suddenly said, "You want to give..."

"Man Yue writes songs?"

"We can give it a try." Writing a song for Sister Manyue only requires one night in the dream space, so Li Ye thinks it won't be a big problem. Besides, he always has a two-day cooling-off period after learning a new song.

"If you're stuck on a song and want to refresh your mind, you can try this. If not, then you don't need to; Manyue can handle it herself."

Zhang Xiaoqi clapped his hands again as he spoke, then suddenly looked at Li Ye: "By the way, Manyue's album should be released before yours. You should participate in the entire production process this time. Regardless of whether you want to enter the European and American music scene, you will inevitably become more and more involved in it in the future."

Li Ye had originally planned to do this for his second album, and he was immediately interested, asking Zhong Manyue if she would agree.

In any case, the main work was done by Zhang Xiaoqi and others, so he only needed to become more familiar with the production ideas and processes, and he also had time to do his own things.

Zhang Xiaoqi laughed and said how could he disagree? Li Ye didn't know how much Zhong Manyue admired him, and then he talked about the ideas for Zhong Manyue's new album.

After hearing this, Li Ye prepared to leave: "Then let me know when the time comes."

"You're leaving already? Let's have dinner together?"

"No, I need to go back and study Japanese."

"Go to hell." Zhang Xiaoqi thought Li Ye was joking and saying something inappropriate.

That evening, Li Ye watched a Hollywood action blockbuster while yawning. Seeing that it was almost midnight, he sent a message to Zhong Manyue, asking if she was asleep. He waited for five minutes without receiving a reply.

When Li Ye was recording "Blossoms in Full Bloom," he knew she was a person with a healthy and regular sleep schedule, so he figured she must have fallen asleep.

After washing up, Li Ye covered himself with the quilt, wanting to see if his current level of intimacy could bring Zhong Manyue into the picture.

A short while later, Li Ye appeared alone in the recording studio of the dream space.

He played the song he had chosen for Chung Manyue on repeat for the third time, but Chung Manyue still hadn't arrived.

"What happened? Was it a success or a failure?"

"Does that mean I feel like I'm quite close to Sister Manyue, but Sister Manyue thinks our relationship is just so-so?"

Li Ye muttered to himself in puzzlement, "To bring outsiders into the dream space, both parties need to reach a certain level of intimacy or trust."

He had tried to get Chung Manyue to write a song for her before, but the door wasn't even opened that time.

The door opened, but no one came.

Just as the song was about to play for the fourth time, the recording studio door finally opened, and Chung Manyue walked in.
