Chapter 143 Xu Ya: He wants to invite me to dinner? (Two in 10,000 words, please subscribe)
Mr. Liu was about to go to sleep; it was too late for him to regret it now. Just as he was about to put his phone down, he saw this news. After Jiang Yu's new show, "Walking and Singing," aired, numerous brands announced partnerships with him.
Mr. Liu was already feeling heartbroken, and when he saw this news, his eyes were filled with surprise and deep regret.
He is really coming back step by step, even surpassing his previous peak and developing better than before.
At this moment, Mr. Liu thought about his own actions at the beginning, and how he thought that Jiang Yu would not be good if he left the company. Now, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"Alas! The world is unpredictable."
Mr. Liu shook his head. It was no use regretting now. They had already torn their relationship with Jiang Yu. Even if they found Jiang Yu now, it was impossible to go back to the way it was before, and it was even more impossible for Jiang Yu to come back.
"Now, we have to run the company's business well."
Mr. Liu's current focus is on the company's business. Without Jiang Yu as a top star, the artists below him have not yet been promoted. The company is now trying to transform itself from an artist training company to designing other directions, such as film and television dramas.
The film and television industry has been booming over the past two years. The company now has so many artists, and the singer and music scene is relatively mature. However, we haven't ventured much into film and television, and recently, CEO Liu has been busy with the film and television sector.
Film and television dramas are still very profitable, and he plans to buy two popular novel IPs to adapt them to test the waters.
It would be fine to promote their own actors and cultivate some outstanding artists in the entertainment industry. He still understood the principle of not having to walk on one foot and not putting all his eggs in one basket, so the company's business cannot be developed in a single way.
The news that Jiang Yu had secured so many major brand endorsements was trending online, but netizens weren't discussing it that much. The biggest concern came from those within the industry, who were a bit nervous after seeing so many brands officially announce partnerships with Jiang Yu.
But at this moment, they had no choice. The other party had already cooperated. Could they still snatch it away?
What's more, even Jiang Yu's reputation collapsed, and he didn't completely disappear from the entertainment industry. Even the song he wrote, "As Wish," was performed on the National Day Gala and even received praise from CCTV.
In the current situation, it is definitely impossible for Jiang Yu to be banned. Everyone can only pray that Jiang Yu will make a mistake in the future so that they can have a chance.
After the first episode of "Walking and Singing" aired tonight, the show became a hit. Although Jiang Yu and Su Muwan played a big role in it, the show itself was still good. Many people initially watched it for Jiang Yu and Su Muwan.
But after watching the show, I found that this new show is pretty good.
The song "Our Song" sung by Jiang Yu in the first episode of the show also became a hit, ranking first on the new song chart. Lin Qianqian even released a music review video that night, which made the popularity of the song soar again.
At this moment, Song Yuqing was in a bad mood after watching the show. She puffed out her cheeks angrily and scrolled through short videos. She came across several clips of Jiang Yu and Su Muwan interacting in "Walking and Singing" edited by netizens.
Song Yuqing saw that many people in the comment section were saying that the interaction between Su Muwan and Jiang Yu was quite sweet, and that they might not really have a relationship or want to get back together. She immediately replied with her second account.
"No way! This is just a show, for show effect, don't make anything of it."
Song Yuqing angrily argued with these netizens on her second account. Really, how come these netizens like to criticize everything? This is obviously just a show effect. How could Brother Yu possibly get back together with her? Seriously.
I saw a comment from a netizen saying, "Who do you think Jiang Yu likes the most among his three celebrity ex-girlfriends: Su Muwan, Yang Xue, and Song Yuqing? Now that he's on the show with Su Muwan, and she's also a songwriter, will he be more attracted to her?"
After seeing this comment, Song Yuqing confirmed that this was a smurf account and replied pretending to be a netizen.
"I think it should be Song Yuqing. She is young, beautiful, cute and sexy. Jiang Yu must like Song Yuqing a little more."
The little girl couldn't help but recall what Brother Yu had said to her: "Yuqing is the cutest, I love you the most."
She felt that what she said was right, that Brother Yu loved her the most.
Seeing that several netizens agreed with her comment, the little girl's smile became wider and wider.
Humph! Look, look, everyone thinks it's me. When I'm capable enough, I'll change the contract and open my own studio. Then the company can't stop me from dating. I'm going to find Brother Yu back!
However, when Su Muwan saw her brother Yu singing "Our Song" on the show, the little girl's eyes became a little dim, and she lay on the bed, muttering to herself.
"I also want Brother Yu to write a song for me..."
Suddenly, Song Yuqing's eyes lit up. She seemed to have Director Hu's WeChat account. She seemed to have appeared on another of Director Hu's shows before...
Su Muwan can be on the show with Brother Yu, why can’t I?
Thinking of this, the girl immediately went to check Director Hu’s WeChat.
"Hmph! I want to go up there and sing as well. I can't stand watching Su Muwan and Brother Yu being alone together!"
On Yang Xue's side, she had just finished watching the show and was leaning against the headboard. The heating was on in the hotel room. She was wearing a black lace pajamas and leaning against the headboard, looking at the hot searches and comments on the Internet. Her eyes were subconsciously attracted by the comments related to Jiang Yu and Su Muwan.
After hesitating for a moment, he found Jiang Yu's WeChat and kept his fingers on the phone keyboard for a long time before sending a message.
“It’s a good song.”
It was just a simple sentence "The song is good", but Yang Xue kept staring at the phone screen.
Jiang Yu was also watching videos. He had watched tonight's show himself and felt it was pretty good. Even Director Hu posted in the group that tonight's premiere had exceeded 200 million views.
Looking at Yang Xue's news at this moment, Jiang Yu was thinking. When the program was officially announced, Yang Xue had asked him openly and secretly why he had never mentioned to her that he and Su Muwan would be on the show together.
Yang Xue had asked him about the guests on his show before, and at that time Jiang Yu subconsciously concealed the existence of Su Muwan. When Yang Xue asked him two days ago, Jiang Yu made up an ambiguous reason and got over it.
But the show was broadcast today, and he also watched it. To be honest, not only netizens thought so, but he himself felt that his interaction with Su Muwan was quite intimate after watching the show.
Now this ex watched the show and suddenly sent him a message saying "The song is good." Jiang Yu was definitely not stupid. Yang Xue was definitely not talking about the song, or not just talking about the song.
When he was singing this song, he was also looking at the barrage. Later, when he looked at the hot searches, netizens were all saying that he sang this song specifically for Su Muwan.
Now that the movie queen said this, Jiang Yu felt that she was going to call for an explanation.
It feels like being caught having an ambiguous interaction with another woman.
No, no, that's not right. What do you mean by catching someone cheating? We were just interacting normally and recording the show normally.
Besides, they are all exes, why should I still feel guilty?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu replied.
"Haha, that's not bad."
"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"
Yang Xue looked at Jiang Yu's reply with an indifferent expression. She wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't ask. It seemed that she couldn't find the reason or identity to ask.
"Well, I just watched your show. You and Mu Wan were in the same group, and you performed pretty well."
However, looking at this message from Yang Xue, I feel like there is some other meaning behind it.
Wow, you seem to be having fun with other women.
Feeling a bit sour in tone?
Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and replied, "It's okay, it's all for the show, for the show."
It’s not just a show effect, yes, it’s a show effect.
"is it?"
"Of course it is. It's a variety show, you know."
Jiang Yu didn't want to dwell on this issue any further, so he took the initiative to ask about the filming progress of Yang Xue's new drama.
"How have you been lately? Is filming the new drama going well?"
Yang Xue looked at Jiang Yu and changed the subject so quickly, and snorted in her heart, man!
But he still replied: "It's going relatively smoothly, but the weather has been bad these past two days, so the filming progress has been slow."
It's been a week since we started filming, but during this week, it rained heavily for several takes, the weather wasn't great, and there were a lot of outdoor scenes, so the filming progress was constantly delayed and a bit slow. So far, we've only filmed a few scenes.
"It's okay, take your time, and don't get too tired."
Jiang Yu joked, "If there's any suitable role, our movie queen can recommend me."
He added, "It would be best if it's less work and more money."
Jiang Yu was just joking, but he was still interested in acting. Having failed in the music industry in his previous life, he'd transitioned to acting. After ten years of hard work, his acting skills were quite good, and many directors recognized him. He'd already been navigating the second male lead, and he figured if he persevered, he might even become famous. And then, all of a sudden, he ended up here.
He has plans to eventually venture into the entertainment industry, but for now, his focus is on music. This is his primary way of accumulating capital.
When Yang Xue heard Jiang Yu's words, she suddenly thought of something. It seemed that there really was such a character.
Thinking that Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were both on the same show, Yang Xue replied.
"There's actually a relatively important role with very few scenes. How about this, I'll ask the director for you later. If it's okay, you can try it."
Jiang Yu hadn't expected that Yang Xue would actually have a role to play when he just casually said it, and he was slightly stunned. But since the words were out, Jiang Yu also responded.
"Alright, if possible, I'll try to make a cameo appearance and let our actress take a look at me, a new actor, haha."
It’s not a bad idea to give it a try, just as a test water for your future acting career.
Moreover, Yang Xue has collaborated with many famous domestic directors in her films, which means she has a lot of connections. Although I don’t know if she can use them, she has to have them.
……
Recently, with the broadcast of the program "Walking and Singing," Jiang Yu's new song "We All Sing" has become a hit again. Coupled with the fact that the previous two episodes of "Singer" have shown poor performances by domestic singers, and even a video of a foreign singer disparaging the Chinese music scene and its artists during an interview back home, this has led to an increasing number of people online voting for the latest replacement singer.
Among them, Jiang Yu is the most popular and has the highest online support. Everyone wants to see Jiang Yu on "Singer". After all, Jiang Yu is very talented now. At least netizens think that Jiang Yu will be much better than most of the domestic singers on the show.
What's more, Jiang Yu's current creative talent is so good that even if the foreign singers are very strong, Jiang Yu will not necessarily lose. Even if he can't win, he can still occupy an extra position for a domestic singer in the top five.
"The fourth season of Singer is about to start recording. I heard there will be three replacement singers this time. I saw that Jiang Yu has the highest popularity in the voting on the official Weibo account of Singer. I'm really looking forward to seeing him on Singer."
"Indeed, Jiang Yu's current strength is beyond doubt, and his talent is also good. Maybe he can really win?"
"It doesn't matter whether I win or not, I just want to hear Jiang Yu's new song, haha."
"Come on, I admit Jiang Yu is very good now, but those three foreign singers are too strong, they are top international singers, especially Duoya. Even Hu Tian and Sun Leyan, two superstar singers who are too difficult to play, can't beat them. Can Jiang Yu do it?"
"I also think Jiang Yu's chances of winning are slim. He's very strong now, but Hu Tian and the others are kings. Hu Tian doesn't have that ability. How can Jiang Yu compare with Hu Tian?"
"Don't say that. My brother is still very strong. Just because Hu Tian is not good doesn't mean my brother is not good!"
……
At this moment, everyone sees that Jiang Yu has been lifted to the first place in the voting for replacement singers by netizens. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Yu will be one of the three replacement singers in the recording of the next episode.
Many netizens believe that Jiang Yu is very talented and has a high level of creative ability. He might even be able to beat the three foreign singers on "Singer." However, many people also feel that if superstars like Hu Tian can't win, how can Jiang Yu win? Can Jiang Yu currently compare to superstars like Hu Tian?
They all thought that Jiang Yu was amazing now, very strong, had made great progress, and was very popular. However, he was still far from being able to defeat the top-level players like Hu Tian. Hu Tian couldn't even defeat him, so how could Jiang Yu, a young boy, do it?
Hu Tian is a superstar, a star who emerged from the era of fierce competition in the Chinese music scene. He represents the memories of an era and is also a recognition of his strength. The title of superstar is not something that everyone can get.
Many people think that although Jiang Yu is very powerful now, he is still a little bit behind the top-level predecessors like Hu Tian.
Many people also discovered that if Jiang Yu appeared on "Singer", wouldn't he have to compete with his love rival Hu Tian?
Everyone knows about Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's relationship; they're romantic rivals. Hu Tian even targeted Jiang Yu when he appeared on "The Voice of God." One is Su Muwan's ex-boyfriend, and now rumored to be the one getting back together. The other is Su Muwan's former suitor, a man he pursued for years without success.
Tsk tsk tsk, if these two were to appear on the show together and meet on "Singer", there would definitely be another fierce competition.
The confrontation between men is quite interesting if you think about it.
"Hehe, if you guys hadn't mentioned Hu Tian, I would have almost forgotten the relationship between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian. These two are rivals in love. If Jiang Yu goes to the singer, wow, there will be some fun to watch."
"Yeah, Jiang Yu and Hu Tian, if these two met on the same show, it would be another peak showdown, haha."
"The showdown between the ex and the pursuer is quite exciting. I kind of want to watch it."
"Tsk, Jiang Yu, our teacher Hu Tian easily crushed him, he is not even worthy compared to our teacher Hu Tian."
"That's right. I admit that Jiang Yu is very strong now, but compared to our teacher Hu, he is still a long way behind. Don't brag about him here."
……
At this moment, Hu Tian also saw the news online, especially that Jiang Yu had already won the first place in the voting for the replacement singer for the latest recording. There were three replacement singers to be invited this time, and Jiang Yu had already ranked first, so he would definitely be invited.
Seeing this scene, a hint of coldness and disdain flashed in Hu Tian's eyes.
"Jiang Yu, if you dare to come, I will definitely make you lose miserably."
He hadn't found a chance to deal with this guy before, but now, this time, if Jiang Yu dared to come to the stage of "Singer", he would definitely make him look bad. He wanted to completely defeat Jiang Yu on the stage, and he wanted to let Su Muwan see that this guy was a waste and that he was much better than Jiang Yu!
Now the recording of the third episode of the program has been completed. He won the second place, and the gap in votes from the first place Doya is very small, which makes Hu Tian confident again.
and……
Even if he couldn't defeat Doya, Hu Tian felt that defeating Jiang Yu would still be an easy thing.
So what if this guy is very popular now? On the stage of "Singer", you can't win just by being popular. It depends on your strength and performance on stage.
Judging from his current performance on the "Singer" stage and his results, Hu Tian felt that it would be difficult to defeat Duoya and take first place. However, against Jiang Yu, he would have no problem suppressing him and stepping on him.
What’s more… “I’m afraid you can’t even beat the other singers.”
The guests participating in "Singer" this time are all very strong. Although people on the Internet are saying that the domestic singers are not good this year and are crushed by the foreign guests, only they know how strong these three foreign singers are this year. The domestic singers have really tried their best.
But he felt that even if Jiang Yu came, he wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the other singers. Even if these singers couldn't beat the three foreign singers, they were still among the best in the country.
Jiang Yu?
Haha, so what even if my strength has improved now?
Whether I can beat these singers is still an unknown, let alone beat myself.
"Jiang Yu, I hope you don't run away out of fear."
Hu Tian looked at Jiang Yu, who got the first place in the vote. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but he began to look forward to Jiang Yu's arrival in his heart.
He wanted to defeat Jiang Yu on the stage, step on Jiang Yu, and let everyone, including Su Muwan, see who was the better person between him and Jiang Yu!
……
Mango station.
From the "Singer" program team.
Director Hong Tao was slightly taken aback when he saw the results of the latest episode's online voting for the top three replacement singers on the program's official account. He wasn't surprised by the other two singers. One was Li Qing, a veteran and talented singer from the national team, and the other was Zhang Minghui, a long-time top-tier singer known as the "Little King of Music." Zhang Minghui's nickname is a testament to his talent. He's been at the top of the game for years, but hasn't quite broken through. Despite this, he remains quite popular.
So netizens often say that he is a little superstar.
Director Hong Tao wasn't surprised to see Li Qing and Zhang Minghui in the top three of the voting results, after all, they were both very strong. However, when he saw Jiang Yu in first place, Director Hong Tao was a little puzzled and even a little surprised.
This guy is very popular now and has great abilities, but if I remember correctly, he participated in another program on the station called "The Voice of God" before and was pressured to withdraw from the competition. Why do we still want to invite him now?
Director Hong Tao knew that forcing Jiang Yu to withdraw from the competition was not the intention of the station, but was pressured by Warner. The station and Warner were cooperating, so he was just giving them face.
But now, he didn't know what the station's attitude towards Jiang Yu was.
"This guy would be a good fit if he came, and he could also bring more buzz and traffic to the show."
Director Hong Tao is also well aware of Jiang Yu's current strength. To be honest, he likes some of Jiang Yu's current songs and recognizes Jiang Yu's strength. Moreover, given his current popularity and traffic, if he can appear on his show "Singer", he will definitely get a lot of exposure, which is free traffic.
It can be seen from the recent broadcast of Penguin's new program "Walking and Singing" that Jiang Yu is now a hot commodity, a walking super traffic and topic maker. Which program would not want him?
Seeing that Jiang Yu was the first place in the netizens' vote, director Hong Tao also wanted to invite Jiang Yu to participate.
And not to mention Jiang Yu's traffic, there is a lot of calls for him on the Internet now. And if Jiang Yu comes, hehe, Hu Tian will have another opportunity to create a topic with him.
Director Hong Tao has been making programs for so many years and is very familiar with the twists and turns. If you want a program to perform well, not only must the content be exciting, but you also have to learn to create topics and heat.
Given the relationship between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian, if they were on the same stage, the topic and attention would definitely be quite high.
No matter how you look at it, they are the ones making money.
but……
Jiang Yu was forced to withdraw from the competition before. Although it was not the station's intention, it can be said that the station agreed to Warner and forced Jiang Yu to leave. If Jiang Yu is invited now, will he still come?
Moreover, will the station agree?
Director Hong Tao was a little hesitant. He really wanted Jiang Yu to come. He didn't know how many programs were vying for Jiang Yu now.
But at this moment, he still sent a message to the leader of the station and told the director about this matter.
The director of Mango TV was lost in thought when he saw Director Hong Tao's news. He'd also seen the trending searches online and the voting for the replacement singers for this season of "Singer." As a pillar of Mango TV, "Singer" certainly deserves special attention. This season has been performing well. Despite its controversies, the buzz and buzz have reached unprecedented levels.
As for inviting Jiang Yu, he hesitated for a moment before bringing it up.
"Since Jiang Yu is now number one in the voting, then invite him. You know he can bring great benefits to the show, so don't worry about it. Just invite him. As for the previous matter, just raise his salary and he should come."
Warner had previously cooperated with the station, and Warner had put pressure on them to force Jiang Yu to withdraw from the competition, but they had no choice. Moreover, at that time, Jiang Yu's value was indeed insignificant compared to Warner.
The director felt that Jiang Yu was a sensible person. Regarding that incident, Jiang Yu's Weibo post directly confronted Chu Shaoyang and Warner without mentioning their station. This suggests that Jiang Yu knew who was behind the incident and that their station was very reluctant to let him go. Furthermore, after Jiang Yu withdrew from the competition, "The Voice of God"'s performance plummeted.
Now that they'd invited Jiang Yu again, the director felt he should be reasonable. He didn't have much animosity towards Mango TV, and they were both in the same industry, prioritizing their own interests. Since they needed Jiang Yu now, they should show some sincerity, and the most direct way would be to offer him a salary.
Director Hong Tao nodded, but he was still a little worried about the previous situation.
"Director, the station is still cooperating with Warner, and I'm worried..."
The director knew what he was going to say, and before Director Hong Tao could speak, he spoke directly.
"You don't have to worry about that. Jiang Yu is very valuable now. If Warner has any objections, they can only keep it to themselves."
Director Hong Tao understood.
Jiang Yu's current value is definitely different from when he first appeared on "The Voice of God." The station initially passed on Jiang Yu because his value wasn't high enough compared to Warner. But things are different now. Jiang Yu's value is high enough for the station to take him seriously. As for Warner, it's essentially just an entertainment company. While it's one of the four largest entertainment companies in China, it's definitely not qualified to challenge a TV station, let alone a major one like Mango TV.
In this circle, everyone values profit. The benefits that Jiang Yu can bring to the program and Mango TV are enough for Mango TV to ignore Warner.
I'm sorry, if Chu Shaoyang and Warner have any opinions at that time, you can only watch.
The director thought about it and sent a message to Director Hong Tao.
"Let Xiao Xu try to contact Jiang Yu. She's worked with him before and is quite familiar with him. It might be better to let her do that."
Director Hong Tao had the same idea. Xu Ya was the producer of the program. She had worked with Jiang Yu several times before and they were acquaintances. If he asked her to contact and invite Jiang Yu, it would be the last time.
"Okay, I see."
"Work hard. This year's singers performed very well. The station is very optimistic about them. We can raise the bids from advertisers a little more."
After finishing his conversation with the director and getting permission from the station's leaders, Director Hong Tao had nothing to worry about.
Since the station has no objection and supports him inviting Jiang Yu to participate in the program, then let's do it.
After finding Xu Ya’s WeChat, Director Hong Tao sent her a message.
"Producer Xu, I'm sorry to bother you with something..."
Xu Ya was watching videos at home and listening to Jiang Yu's new song "Our Song". When she saw the message sent to her by Director Hong Tao, Xu Ya thought for a moment.
Let me invite Jiang Yu to participate in "Singer" and let him be the replacement guest for the fourth episode?
Xu Ya was still a little confused, although she also saw that Jiang Yu was very popular online, and even in the voting for the replacement singer on the official account of "Singer", Jiang Yu had the highest vote.
However, when she saw the message sent to her by Director Hong Tao, she was a little puzzled. Will Jiang Yu come?
Previously, the station asked Jiang Yu to withdraw from the competition because of issues with Warner. Now Mango TV is still cooperating with Warner. If Jiang Yu is invited to participate, what if the same situation happens again?
"Director Hong, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle. You also know that Jiang Yu withdrew from the competition before, and we don't know the current attitude of the station yet."
Seeing this, Director Hong Tao also told Xu Ya about the station's attitude.
"So, Producer Xu, don't worry. The director and I also think that you and Jiang Yu have worked together before and are quite familiar with each other, so we want you to contact him and tell him that our station is still very sincere..."
Xu Ya was also a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that Jiang Yu's current value was indeed far greater than when he participated in "The Voice of God." Mango TV was no fool; everyone was pursuing profit. The profits Jiang Yu could bring were very high right now. As for Warner, even if they were to cooperate, they would not care if there were any complaints later.
Even if he was one of the four major entertainment companies, he wouldn't dare to challenge Mango TV. The reason they agreed to Warner's request was entirely because Jiang Yu's value wasn't equal to Warner's. Jiang Yu was a completely different person now, so which show wouldn't want to hire him?
"Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to him."
Now that she knew Mango TV's attitude, Xu Ya had nothing to worry about. In fact, she also felt that Jiang Yu was quite suitable for "Singer" now, and she also wanted to see every new song Jiang Yu brought.
Now on this stage, those three foreign singers are so powerful. I wonder if there will be any changes with Jiang Yu’s arrival.
Xu Ya found Jiang Yu’s WeChat, whom she hadn’t contacted for a long time. The last time they contacted him was shortly after Jiang Yu finished recording "Haha Travel Group".
"Are you there?"
Xu Ya still sent a message to ask first.
I thought Jiang Yu would be busy, but just a few minutes after I sent the message, I received a reply from Jiang Yu.
"Hey, Producer Xu, long time no see. Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Xu Ya was reading Jiang Yu's message when her mind subconsciously recalled the scene of her falling into the swimming pool and having close contact with Jiang Yu during the previous recording of the program. Shaking her head, Xu Ya got straight to the point.
"It's like this. I'm the producer for Singer. The fourth episode is about to start recording. According to the netizens' voting results on our official account, you, Jiang Yu, came in first. We'd like to invite you to be a replacement guest on Singer..."
Jiang Yu was sitting in the hotel. He was currently in Zhonghai and his house had not been renovated yet, so he had no choice but to continue living in the hotel.
After reading Xu Ya's message, Jiang Yu also understood that he was the one being asked to be the replacement singer.
He had also seen the news online. He was very popular and had indeed won first place in the voting. Some netizens even wanted to see him face off against his rival Hu Tian. Seeing this, Jiang Yu also looked thoughtful.
I don’t have that many announcements now. Although I have been approached by many programs, the only one I am currently recording is "Walking and Singing". As for the invitations to the programs I have received recently, they have not been finalized yet. Moreover, the current "Singer" is the most popular program. It is a national-level music competition variety show. Many artists and singers want to be on this program. Basically, participating in this program will greatly increase the national popularity of artists.
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment. He was actually thinking about his withdrawal from the competition. He also knew from Director Li that it was Warner Bros. who was putting pressure on him. Mango TV had agreed to it because they felt their value wasn't as high as Warner Bros.
But now, since Mango TV wants me to appear on their show again, and let Xu Ya contact me instead of the director, it is obvious that they think I am more familiar with Xu Ya and let Xu Ya act as a lobbyist.
But after all, Mango TV did it in the first place, although the people behind the scenes were still Warner and Chu Shaoyang. If they want me to participate again so easily this time, they have to show some sincerity.
As expected, after seeing Jiang Yu's response, Xu Ya said directly, "Don't worry, the situation before won't happen again. Moreover, the station is very sincere this time. They'll offer you a very high salary and even promise you more screen time in the contract."
Xu Ya briefly explained this to Jiang Yu, who was slightly surprised upon seeing this.
Mango TV unexpectedly offered him a 5 million yuan per episode appearance fee. Even at his peak, he couldn't get such a high salary for appearing on a nationally renowned variety show. Furthermore, shows like "Singer" generally pay their stars less than other programs. After all, everyone wants to be on it, and there's no shortage of guests, so it's normal to keep the pay down.
This time, Jiang Yu was directly given an appearance fee of five million per episode, which was already very high. If he guessed correctly, among all the guests this season, only Hu Tian and Sun Leyan, two superstars, could earn appearance fees exceeding five million. Furthermore, a stipulation on the duration of Jiang Yu's appearance was included in the contract, guaranteeing him at least fifteen minutes of appearance time per episode.
For a variety show, especially a music competition show, many guests appear in fleeting shots, or even just a few minutes of footage during their performances. More than 15 minutes of footage is already a long time.
Jiang Yu felt Mango TV's sincerity and was quite satisfied with it. In this world of fame and fortune, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Furthermore, he and Mango TV didn't really have any deep hatred. The real enemy behind the scenes was Warner and Chu Shaoyang.
Mango TV has shown such great sincerity, so Jiang Yu has nothing to say. Moreover, if he were to appear on this national-level variety show, it would also bring him many benefits.
"Okay, that's fine. I'll be able to see our beautiful Producer Xu again then. Please take good care of her."
Xu Ya saw Jiang Yu's message and sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee. Her red lips gently touched the cup, leaving a few red marks. She looked at the message on her phone and typed a reply.
"I'm looking forward to your performance, too."
Xu Ya was being completely honest. She really enjoyed listening to Jiang Yu's songs. Jiang Yu had previously left "The Voice of God" midway through, and had only been on "Haha Travel Group" for two episodes. Now, Jiang Yu was back on "Singer," which she was producing. If he made it to the next round and stayed, she'd be able to hear his new songs every week.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Yu, this guy will definitely sing new songs and will definitely not cover or sing old songs.
and……
The three foreign guests on the show are really too strong. I wonder if Jiang Yu can break this situation. Although many people on the Internet say that Hu Tian, the king of the show, is not good enough, Jiang Yu is even less of a match. Everyone thinks that Jiang Yu is still a little behind Hu Tian.
One is a long-established, legendary singer who is a fixture of the era. The other is a former traffic star who has recently transitioned into a powerful singer-songwriter. Everyone agrees that Jiang Yu is impressive now, but lacks the depth of Hu Tian. Hu Tian isn't even a match for those three foreign singers, so how can Jiang Yu compare?
Although Xu Ya was unsure, she still had faith in Jiang Yu. Even if he couldn't beat the three foreign singers, he could still get a good ranking.
Moreover, maybe Jiang Yu can give them an unexpected surprise?
"By the way, I see you're also going to record singing while walking, right? I'll discuss this with Director Hong Tao and the others and try to combine your schedule with that of the other guests to confirm a recording time."
Xu Ya remembered that Jiang Yu had other programs to record, so she also sent a message saying, "But don't worry, it won't be delayed. The recording time is only half a day."
"When is your next recording of singing while walking?"
Jiang Yu knew that it was unlikely that his schedule would conflict, but he still replied, "I'm going this weekend."
"That's no problem. We'll record on Friday. I'll have someone prepare the contract and send it to you."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Producer Xu. I'll treat you to a meal when we meet. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xu Ya looked at the message sent by Jiang Yu and sat on the sofa. Her beautiful legs were crossed under her blue hip skirt. Her mature and plump figure was outlined with perfect curves by the slim blue hip skirt. Her wavy light golden long hair was slightly draped over her shoulders. She was full of the charm of a mature woman.
The heater is on in the house, so it's not as cold as outside.
At this moment, Xu Ya was a little stunned. Was he going to treat her to a meal?
When I think about it carefully, it seems that Jiang Yu and I have never eaten alone?
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Ya replied, "Sure."
The scene of Jiang Yu and Su Muwan interacting on the show subconsciously emerged in her mind, and she wanted to refuse. But she thought about it and realized that it was just a simple meal with Jiang Yu, so it didn't seem like a big deal, so she didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll see you then, Producer Xu."
