How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 141: The Sky is So Big (Please Subscribe)

When Jiang Yu finished speaking, the audience was shocked again.

"Ah? The song Jiang Yu brought this time is also a Cantonese song?"

"Hehe, I guessed right again. Isn't it obvious? The songs he wrote for Su Muwan are all Cantonese songs. He can also do more of the songs he wants to sing himself."

"I really like the song 'Like You' he wrote for Su Muwan, but I'm looking forward to Jiang Yu's 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies'."

"Looking at the title, it doesn't seem like a love song. I thought he was going to sing a love song for Su Muwan."

"Me too. This song 'Like You' feels like it was written for Su Muwan. I thought he would sing a similar love song himself."

……

At this moment, Shen Hongyu and the others' eyes flashed with surprise, but fortunately, the song that Jiang Yu performed was also a Cantonese song, which was still within their expectations. After listening to Su Muwan's "Like You", Shen Hongyu roughly guessed that the song that Jiang Yu performed this time might also be a Cantonese song.

Now, it turned out to be just as he expected.

Lin Yi looked at Jiang Yu on the stage with a bit of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

This guy actually sings Cantonese songs?

Doesn't that mean that besides myself and Su Muwan, Jiang Yu is also going to perform a Cantonese song?
He suddenly felt that the Cantonese song he had carefully prepared was no longer so special.

Originally, Lin Yi thought that if he sang Cantonese songs by himself, the audience in Hong Kong would think that he was very attentive and special, which would make them like his songs even more.

Later, Su Muwan also performed a Cantonese song. Lin Yi still felt that since she was a girl and he was a boy, he was quite special.

As a result, Jiang Yu was going to perform another Cantonese song, which made Lin Yi speechless for a moment.

No, why do they all sing Cantonese songs? It won’t make me look special at all.

and……

Lin Yi was actually quite panicked. He knew Jiang Yu's strength. Although he couldn't stand the fact that he was so popular with the female guests, he still recognized Jiang Yu's creative ability and strength.

This guy, please don't steal my thunder.

"I hope his song isn't that good."

Lin Yi prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Jiang Yu would perform worse than himself this time, so that he could stand out and perform well in front of the female guests.

Director Hu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face. He and the music teacher had reviewed the song submitted by Jiang Yu.

Well, after watching it, he began to look forward to Jiang Yu's performance today. He really wanted to see how Jiang Yu sang "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"

and……

He felt that Jiang Yu's performance of this song would be particularly shocking and beautiful.

Not only Director Hu, but even Sister Zhou Wen Qianqian was a little shocked when she heard that the song Jiang Yu was going to perform was also a Cantonese song.

Is this guy going to sing a Cantonese song too?

She doesn't seem to remember that Jiang Yu can speak Cantonese?

Anyway, when he was with Su Muwan, Sister Qian didn't know that this guy could speak Cantonese. Muwan herself knew Cantonese, but it was when she came to Hong Kong to record a program. She learned some of it after recording for more than a month. It can only be said that her standard is better than that of ordinary people.

But as for Jiang Yu, as far as she could remember, she had never seen him speak Cantonese. She guessed he learned it later.

At this moment on the stage, Jiang Yu nodded to the music teacher, and the music slowly started playing.

The piano music at the beginning seemed to make people feel sad and excited at the same time. Everyone gradually quieted down and waited quietly for Jiang Yu's singing.

"Today I
Watching the snow drift by on a cold night

Floating far away with a cooled heart

Chasing in the wind and rain

Can't tell the traces in the fog

The sky is vast, you and me

But it will change..."

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth, everyone's eyes lit up. His standard Cantonese made even the Hong Kong natives present tremble in their hearts. Furthermore, his deep, slow voice, with its gentle delivery, immediately caught everyone's attention.

Moreover, the beginning creates a lonely and deserted atmosphere, and coupled with Jiang Yu's low singing voice, people feel a little bit of sadness for a moment.

Shen Hongyu and Su Muwan looked at each other, both of them with a hint of surprise in their eyes, surprised that Jiang Yu's Cantonese was so standard. Shen Hongyu thought Su Muwan's Cantonese was already standard enough, but who knew that Jiang Yu's Cantonese was even better than Su Muwan's.

"Teacher Jiang Yu's song is a rock song..."

Teacher Mao Yiming opened his mouth slightly. As professional singers, they immediately identified the genre of Jiang Yu's song when they heard it.

It wasn't the love songs he was best at, but a rock song.

At this moment, Mao Yiming and Shen Hongyu also glanced at Lin Yi. Lin Yi's previous songs were also rock-and-roll, so the two of them bumped into each other again.

Even Lin Yi looked a little embarrassed at this moment. How come they bumped into each other again?

It’s fine that the songs sung by Jiang Yu and I are both in Cantonese, but why are they all rock?

Lin Yi was a little unconfident and felt a little weak when facing Jiang Yu.

There was no way. Jiang Yu was simply too terrifying. Even if he disliked Jiang Yu, his strength was there, and that would not change.

"Hmm... probably not. This is just the beginning. There is still a chance."

Lin Yi consoled himself. Jiang Yu had only just sung the first verse of his song. While the prelude was good, the quality of the rest of the song was still unclear. What if it started strong but ended poorly? He might still have a chance this time.

At this moment, the audience's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation. Jiang Yu stood on the stage and continued singing.

How many times
Facing cold eyes and ridicule

Never gave up the ideal in my heart

A moment of trance
A feeling of loss
It has faded unconsciously..."

Everyone listened to Jiang Yu's rendition of "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies." Although it was a rock song, it wasn't as exciting as one might imagine. Instead, it felt more like a slow, lyrical song, a story told in a leisurely manner.

Listening to Jiang Yu's song, everyone saw a person forging ahead in pursuit of their dreams. Despite facing ridicule and indifference, he never gave up on his dreams and goals, constantly moving forward in that direction...

Director Hu and the others listened to Jiang Yu's performance. They had finally heard a full version of the song today. Hearing Jiang Yu sing it was an exceptionally wonderful experience. The song was beautiful, the lyrics were well-written; this was his first impression of Jiang Yu's performance.

Listening to Jiang Yu's song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies," Director Hu seemed to see a person who persevered and bravely moved forward in pursuit of his dream. The image of that person gradually became clearer in his mind, as if it were his younger self...

On the stage, Jiang Yu's singing voice gradually became louder and the song came to the chorus.

"Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence in this life of love and freedom
I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall down.
Anyone who abandons their ideals can do it
How can I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me..."

Listening to Jiang Yu's singing, listening to his song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies", everyone at the scene seemed a little silent. This song is not about love, but a song that stirs people's hearts.

At that moment, everyone's mind seemed to imagine a figure who constantly struggled for his dream, overcame setbacks and difficulties, and got up again and again. This figure became concrete in everyone's mind, and gradually became their own image.

Listening to this song, everyone seemed to see through it their youth, falling again and again for life and dreams, but charging forward again and again. I don't know how long I struggled on this road called dreams before I finally lived the life I wanted.

At this moment, from Jiang Yu's song, they saw their former selves, the selves who fought for life and for their dreams...

The chorus, in particular, with the line "Forgive me for my uninhibited love of freedom," seems to capture the sentiments of many. Who doesn't want freedom? But reality? Ultimately, life requires giving up something. The following line, "I'm also afraid of falling one day," also resonated deeply with many.

Yes, everyone is afraid of failure, but they have to work hard for that dream, for that goal, for life. At this moment, everyone seemed to see their own shadows, watching Jiang Yu singing on the stage, and some people were also thinking.

Is he singing to himself too?

At this moment, Su Muwan was listening to Jiang Yu's song, "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies," with her eyes fixed on Jiang Yu on the stage. Seeing Jiang Yu singing with all his heart, Su Muwan was wondering, was this song written for her?
Su Muwan couldn't help but recall what Jiang Yu had said to her. Jiang Yu said, "Muwan, my biggest dream in this life is to become a big star. This is what I promised my grandmother."

"Aren't you a big star now?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "Not yet, I'm just a packaged idol. One day, I want to become a real singer and write many beautiful songs..."

Su Muwan's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Jiang Yu's figure, a different light flashing in her eyes. Jiang Yu's dream seemed to be coming true bit by bit. Perhaps only he knew how many difficulties he had gone through.

Su Muwan also knew how difficult it was for Jiang Yu to make his debut and become a top star.

Shen Hongyu and the others were also a little dazed as they looked at Jiang Yu on the stage and listened to his singing.

dream……

They also seemed to see themselves, the self who has always been striving for their dreams.

So what if this road is full of difficulties?
You have to persist, stick to it and never give up, only then will you have a chance of success!
The song repeated some of the lyrics midway through, and gradually, it came to a close, and Jiang Yu's performance was about to end. But at this moment, the song seemed to have just reached its climax. The rhythm, melody, and Jiang Yu's voice became more and more powerful, as if he had broken through numerous difficulties and was about to reach the other side of success.

"Still free myself

Always sing my song
Travel thousands of miles
Forgive me for my unruly and indulgent love and freedom in my life
I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall down.
Anyone who abandons their ideals can do it
How can I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me..."

The song ended, but its lingering sound lingered, as everyone seemed still immersed in Jiang Yu's song. Within everyone's heart, a certain emotion and power seemed to surge. At this moment, it seemed that even the greatest difficulties could not stop their forward progress!

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, picked up the microphone and spoke slowly.

"This song, 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies,' is dedicated to everyone, and to everyone on their way forward. I hope everyone, for the sake of their dreams, no matter how difficult the road may be, persevere. A bright future lies ahead!"

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, everyone at the scene gradually came to their senses.

Yes, no matter how difficult it is, for the sake of dreams, for the sake of tomorrow, keep going! Only by persisting can there be hope!

At this moment, it seemed as if the song gave strength to many people, and some people shouted loudly.

"Jiang Yu! Great singing! Great!"

The next moment, praise and applause came from the whole audience, and some people even had slightly red eyes.

"It sounds great! This song is so beautiful!"

"Indeed, although it's not a love song, I still feel a lot of mixed emotions after listening to it. I almost want to cry!"

"Dream! Hold on! I'm going to hold on!"

"This song is so powerful and inspiring. It reminds me of when I started my business. Oh, I almost cried when I heard it."

"Jiang Yu! Handsome boy!"

……

At this moment, not only the audience, but even Director Hu and the production crew were somewhat silent after listening to Jiang Yu's "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies." It was as if some indescribable emotion was stirring in their chests. This wasn't a slow, lyrical song, but a rock song, yet after listening to it, it made them want to cry.

Director Hu looked at Jiang Yu, his singing still echoing in his mind, his eyes deep.

Dreams...

The road to pursuing dreams is always difficult. Looking back on his past, Director Hu also sighed a little. Those days were too difficult. Fortunately, he finally persevered and his life gradually got better.

My nose feels a little sore. Jiang Yu's song is something that people with some experiences will resonate with.

Looking at Jiang Yu, Director Hu felt for the first time that there might be another story behind this kid. This song wasn't just something Jiang Yu brought to the audience; perhaps it was also something he sang to himself...

At this moment, Shen Hongyu and the others slowly came to their senses.

Li Xueyao spoke to Jiang Yu excitedly.

"Teacher Jiang Yu, your song is so, so beautiful!"

“Your Cantonese is pretty good too!”

Looking at the excited look of the little girl Li Xueyao, Jiang Yu also smiled.

Teacher Mao Yiming gave him a thumbs-up, while Lin Yi turned his head slightly away, his face looking a little dull. The two guest stars also praised Jiang Yu's song. This wasn't flattery, but everyone really thought Jiang Yu's song was great.

The performance was over, and Jiang Yu and the others took a car back to the resort villa. Along the way, everyone was discussing tonight's performance.

In Jiang Yu and Su Muwan’s private room.

The two of them had already washed up and were lying on the bed. Su Muwan was holding her cell phone and sending messages to Jiang Yu.

"The second recording session will be over tomorrow. Are you going back to Zhonghai? Or where else?"

"Let's go back to Zhonghai. I have nothing else to do now except singing this notice while walking."

Jiang Yu's only current announcement is for the show "Walking and Singing," and his only endorsement is the Good White Toothpaste that approached him earlier. However, over the past couple of days, he has been receiving calls and messages from various brands.

His previous role as the spokesperson for Haobai toothpaste had already triggered a chain reaction, with other brands already starting to get interested. This time, he returned to Zhonghai because he had already agreed to meet with two brands to discuss endorsements and future product advertising.

Although they are not top brands, they are all first-line brands in China like Haobai toothpaste, and the endorsement fees are not low at present.

Jiang Yu's endorsement fee is also rising. Previously, they needed each other for Haobai Toothpaste, but now, although it hasn't returned to its peak, with Haobai Toothpaste as a foundation, his endorsement fee will definitely not be lower than Haobai Toothpaste.

Jiang Yu also knew that after the show "Walking and Singing" was broadcast next week, if the response was good, his commercial value, endorsement fees, and subsequent film remuneration would increase.

Su Muwan saw Jiang Yu's message, hesitated for a moment, and replied.

"I'm going back to Zhonghai tomorrow too, how about coming together?"

Together?
Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan's message and looked thoughtful.

"Didn't you make any announcements later?"

That shouldn't be the case. A super popular queen like Su Muwan should be very busy. Su Muwan had just told her that she had several shows and activities to participate in recently.

"Yes, but the other two don't have much to do, so they're going back to rest. Besides, the new album for the second half of the year isn't ready yet..."

Speaking of the new album, Su Muwan suddenly remembered it.

I am still short of three songs for my new album. I have asked teachers in the circle to help me write some of them. Now I am still short of three songs to make it ten.

If the new album hadn't been mentioned today, Su Muwan would have almost forgotten about it. She was short of three songs, and Jiang Yu was here, so how could she have forgotten about him?

This guy is so good at writing songs now, I can ask him to help me write the three songs I’m missing.

It's just money, she can still afford it, and this guy just happens to be short of money.

When Jiang Yu saw Su Muwan say that she was still short of three songs for her new album, Jiang Yu's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity to make money.

I made a lot of money from the songs I wrote for Su Muwan before. If I wrote a few more songs for Su Muwan, I would make even more money.

Before he could even open his mouth, Su Muwan's message came.

"I almost forgot about you. Are you free recently? I'm short of three songs. If you're free, could you help me write three songs? Or if you have extra songs that you think would be suitable for me, I can buy them for you."
