Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Wearing a bathrobe, Li Ye lay on the bed with his phone in hand. After thinking for a while, he posted his first personal reflection on Weibo.

In his blog post, he briefly recounted his encounter with Lao Yu, omitting detailed information.

At first, when Xiaoyu and Haige told me about this, I thought they were just joking, but on a deeper level, I was running away and didn't want to take on this social responsibility.

I want to emphasize again: I never encourage anyone to abandon their responsibilities in pursuit of so-called "freedom".

Live well, work hard, study hard, take responsibility for yourself, and then pursue freedom.

Here, I'd also like to say a few words to my friends who like me.

Those who have visited Riyue Bay before should have sensed that I did not do it unintentionally, nor was I without experience as an artist. I deliberately refused to sign autographs or take photos with you, in order to prevent you from coming back in person.

My attitude may disappoint you, but I'm sorry, I will still stand by it.

Li Ye was well aware that his Weibo post would cause controversy and might even cause him to lose many followers.

But without the slightest hesitation, after posting this Weibo message, he felt his mind clear and returned to a relaxed state. He closed his eyes without any distractions and entered the dream space.

However, while Li Ye was happy, his fans were furious.

What do you mean? Do you think you're cool and have a certain attitude?

[So, what's the point of this Weibo post? To purify the fanbase? If so, you win! You're even more disgusting than those idols who date!]

【Seriously, bro? Who taught you to be a celebrity like this? Doesn't your team keep an eye on you? Or have you all gotten too arrogant?】

Wow, this is the first time I've seen a celebrity complain about having too many fans, cutting ties with them the moment they become famous? I'm unfollowing them, bye-bye.

[Disgusting! Pah! What are you if you don't have fans?]

【...】

When Li Ye posted this Weibo post, no one paid attention to what he really wanted to mention. Many fans were upset by the things he mentioned incidentally.

It is a true breach of defense.

In fact, as long as Li Ye doesn't say this outright, they'll come up with all sorts of reasons for him.

But saying it out loud changes the whole situation; it's tantamount to betraying the fans!

As the saying goes, love can turn into hate.

Many fans have not only simply unfollowed, but have turned against their fans!

On Weibo, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and other social media platforms, people either create separate posts or hurl insults and smears at Li Ye in comment sections related to him.

The purpose of Li Ye's Weibo post was also defined by these former fans as a means of maintaining his public image.

Although it was late at night and many people had already gone to bed, the number of people who turned against Li Ye was only a small fraction of his fans, but the intensity and scale of their attacks were extremely fierce.

I was originally going to watch some videos praising Li Ye online and then go to sleep peacefully, but now I'm so angry about one of Li Ye's Weibo posts that I can't sleep. How could I not be furious?

Of course, Chuanzi and Xiaoheizi were also involved.

Those fans who used to be the most proactive and enthusiastic in supporting him have now become the sharpest spears aimed at him because he switched sides.

Fans or casual observers who felt there was nothing wrong with his Weibo post rarely dared to argue their case amidst the public outcry.

Suddenly, Li Ye's reputation seemed to have collapsed.

#Li Ye cuts off fans#

This topic surged to the top of Weibo's trending searches in the early hours of the morning and also sparked heated discussions on other social media platforms.

Similarly, colleagues in the industry are also unable to sleep.

I'm so excited I can't sleep!

To be honest, compared to other artists, Li Ye has been in the industry for a very short time, and because he is so low-key, it is very difficult to dig up any dirt on him.

All he ever did was criticize his acting in his debut film, "A Thousand Words," for being so bad, but now he's switched careers to become a singer.

There was also the car accident marketing, but that was clearly the production team's fault. Li Ye never revealed it on his own initiative, nor did he respond to the car accident afterwards.

As for ghostwriting and such, without someone of sufficient influence speaking out, it won't cause any stir.

However, that was all when Li Ye was doing very well.

Now that he has deliberately revealed his weakness, it's hard to say whether this dirt will have any effect.

The following day, the top management of Starry Sky held an emergency meeting early in the morning.

Several colleagues in the marketing department were deeply worried.

Fanxing's business in this area is not strong to begin with. They usually do routine work, such as buying trending topics, and have never experienced such a large-scale operation.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Li Ye is not an artist under Fanxing Entertainment, so they have no idea how to do public relations and can only do nothing.

Some people kept glancing at the closed door of the conference room, hoping that the higher-ups would speak up soon, so that they wouldn't end up being the ones to take the blame and have their bonuses docked.

Some people were also deep in thought. Although the work atmosphere at Fanxing was relaxed, the benefits were better elsewhere. It was time to change jobs!

Inside the meeting room.

Some executives believe that Fanxing was already at a disadvantage in its cooperation with Wildfire Studio, and that Li Ye was not like a normal artist at all, never cooperating with work when his commercial value was at its peak, so they had long harbored resentment.

At this moment, Li Ye's self-destructive behavior directly ignited their dissatisfaction, and they began to criticize Li Ye in various ways.

"Then what did we lose?" Chen Yusheng asked in a deep voice after they had vented their dissatisfaction.

In reality, Fanxing suffered no loss at all. Their previous investment in Li Ye was recouped the moment Li Ye's endorsement fee arrived in their account.

For businessmen, not making money they should have earned is a loss.

But Chen Yusheng spoke up, and his attitude was very firm and clear, so no one else expressed their opinion for a while.

"Then how do we handle Li Ye's public opinion crisis? We can't just let it go..." After a few seconds of silence, someone else spoke up.

Everyone fell into deep thought; this was the most important thing at the moment.

In fact, their attitude towards Li Ye was complicated, mostly a feeling of anger at his lack of ambition.

Other artists go to great lengths for a chance to become famous, but Li Ye's indifferent attitude is infuriating.

At this moment, Ding Yan, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "A-Ye said we don't need to worry about it."

"What? We don't need to worry about it?"

"Ding Yan, Li Ye is so willful entirely because of your indulgence!"

"..."

Upon hearing Ding Yan's words, not only those high-ranking officials who were dissatisfied with Li Ye, but almost everyone else was in an uproar.

Ding Yan felt helpless. When she saw Li Ye's message when she woke up in the morning, she had the same reaction. She scolded Li Chengsong and Li Xiran before leaving the house.

But at this moment she just nodded expressionlessly: "Don't worry about it. Ah Ye has always relied on his works to speak for themselves, and has never followed the route of popularity."

"Works? How many does he have now..." Dong Tao, who had previously argued with Li Ye and Ding Yan, choked up halfway through his sentence.

That's right, Li Ye only has three songs right now.

But damn, all three songs are very popular.

Even the least popular song, "One Wave at a Time," has become practically synonymous with the sea this summer, and even he enjoys listening to it...

Chen Yusheng rubbed his temples, looking troubled, and then said, "Xiao Qi said that Li Ye's album 'Wilderness,' which he is currently producing, will be a masterpiece."

The meeting room fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.
