How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 175 Life experience
Director Yu looked at the number of reservations for the new drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds". From the one million reservations when the official release date was announced to now, in just over an hour, the number of reservations has exceeded three million.

A TV series that just officially announced its release date has already surpassed three million bookings in just over an hour, a truly impressive feat. Many TV series, even from early promotion to premiere, often fail to reach three million bookings.

and……

It hasn't even been a day since the official release date was announced, and the number of reservations is still rising. Director Yu feels that breaking five million reservations will be no problem, and it may even break the previous record for TV drama reservations.

The current record for the highest number of pre-orders for a domestic TV series is over 9 million. This was last year's super hit drama, the drama that won the most awards. Yang Xue was overshadowed by this drama last year. Director Yu thinks that this year's "Three Lives, Three Worlds" may actually break this record when the drama premieres next week.

“I just don’t know if we can reach the tens of millions of reservations.”

If he could really break the record, Yu Dao felt that it would not be impossible to sprint towards the 10 million mark.

"Hey, it turned out to be a correct decision to find Jiang Yu."

Director Yu was also happy when he saw the number of reservations for the new drama and its popularity. He was glad that he had chosen Jiang Yu to write the theme song and to sing it with Yang Xue.

Now, even though Jiang Yu has been caught in a whirlpool recently and the incident with Hu Tian has made him controversial, the controversy has also brought him a lot of traffic and attention.

Thinking about Jiang Yu and Hu Tian, ​​Director Yu couldn't help but curl his lips: "This Hu Tian, ​​haha, one day he will fall."

In this matter, he has always stood on Jiang Yu's side. If Hu Tian scolded him like this, Director Yu would never tolerate it. His own mother, his own family, would never allow others to insult him like this.

Jiang Yu was being lambasted online, and Director Yu knew it was Hu Tian and the talent agencies of Jiang Yu's competitors who were behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could public opinion have turned so quickly?
Thinking of this, Director Yu couldn't help but shook his head. These people nowadays are too easily led by the rhythm, and some even have problems with their values.

……

At this moment, the news that Yang Xue and Jiang Yu sang the theme song of "Three Lives, Three Worlds" and the song "Liang Liang" are also very popular online.

In Chengdu, Jiang Yu and his friends had lunch with the school leaders, and then took a car back to the B&B to rest.

After all, we have been busy for most of the morning and everyone wants to take a break in the afternoon.

In the lobby of the B&B, everyone changed their shoes but didn't rush to rest. Instead, they sat on the sofa, playing with their phones or chatting. It wasn't summer yet, so there was no need for a nap. It was nice to sit in the B&B and rest, and chat quietly.

The next moment, Li Xueyao, who was playing with her mobile phone on the sofa, suddenly screamed.

"Ah? Teacher Jiang Yu, you and Yang Xue sang the theme song of Three Lives Fate together?"

As soon as Li Xueyao said this, she instantly attracted the attention of other people in the hall, especially Su Muwan, who was pouring water over there. She looked over at once with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

Jiang Yu and Yang Xue sang the theme song of "Three Lives, Three Worlds"?

Jiang Yu had previously told her that Yang Xue had asked him to write the theme song for her new drama, and she knew about it. She had originally wanted to go, but Director Yu had disagreed.

Why was it suddenly released today?
Yesterday it was Song Yuqing’s “Love You”, and today it’s Yang Xue’s, right? It’s a duet between the two of them, hum!

Jiang Yu felt Su Muwan's resentful eyes and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Li Xueyao and asked, "Why did you shout it in front of so many people? Wouldn't it be enough if you saw it yourself and knew it?"
He knew that the theme song of Yang Xue's new drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds" would be released today. Both Yang Xue and Director Yu told him about it. He even took the time to post a Weibo during lunch to help promote it.

but……

Now I am recording a program with Su Muwan, and the theme song that I sang with Yang Xue has been released. Both of them are exes, doesn’t this seem a bit empty?
Especially from Su Muwan's resentful yet somewhat cold look just now, Jiang Yu knew that this woman was angry.

Pretend not to see it, well, they are all exes, I am innocent, nothing serious.

But at this time, Su Muwan had already walked over, and Li Xueyao also realized something. She glanced at Sister Muwan, and then glanced at Teacher Jiang Yu who was staring at her with a warning look on his face. The little girl silently chose to shut up.

At this time, Su Muwan didn't say anything. She sat down, picked up her phone, and opened Weibo.

Shen Hongyu and the others were also looking at their phones at this moment. When they saw the trending search, they were a little surprised.

Teacher Jiang Yu actually wrote the theme song for Yang Xue’s new drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds", and also sang this song with Yang Xue!
This……

Shen Hongyu glanced at Jiang Yu secretly. It seemed that Teacher Jiang Yu had always been in contact with his three predecessors.

"Liangliang..."

Because Su Muwan was present, Shen Hongyu silently put on headphones and listened to the song. As soon as she heard it, her eyes lit up.

This song is good!

Lin Yi didn't care about that. Even when Su Muwan was present, he played the song "Liangliang" sung by Jiang Yu and Yang Xue. After all, if Jiang Yu and Su Muwan had a conflict, he might still have a chance.

Jiang Yu heard the singing and looked at Lin Yi. The guy looked indifferent and was smiling.

"Teacher Jiang Yu, the song "Liang Liang" that you sang with Teacher Yang was pretty good. I feel like you two sang very well together."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Jiang Yu felt a chill coming from beside him.

Turning his head slightly, he met Su Muwan's cold, questioning gaze.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Ahem, it's not so bad. The main reason is that Director Yu asked me to write the theme song and then asked me to help sing the chorus of this song."

When everyone listened to the song "Liangliang" sung by Jiang Yu and Yang Xue, Teacher Mao Yiming and others were also a little surprised.

"nice!"

"It's really good. Jiang Yu, this song you wrote is really good."

The more he was praised like this, the more uncomfortable Jiang Yu felt, because he could feel that Su Muwan's eyes, who was sitting next to him, were getting colder and colder. Even behind his back, a small hand slowly placed on the soft flesh on his waist.

He immediately stood up and said, "Hi, I'm fine. I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. You guys can chat."

We can't stay in this place anymore.

Ignoring Su Muwan's resentful and cold gaze, Jiang Yu hurried upstairs and into the room.

Teacher Zhou and the others looked at each other and smiled.

Li Xueyao secretly glanced at her sister Mu Wan's reaction. Seeing that her sister Mu Wan was looking at the hot searches on her mobile phone, she glanced upstairs again.

I feel like Teacher Jiang Yu needs to coax Sister Mu Wan well.

However, Li Xueyao was also a little curious. Why did Teacher Jiang Yu still have such a close relationship with his three ex-girlfriends?
Although he also thinks that Teacher Jiang Yu is very handsome and talented now, Sister Mu Wan and the others are also so outstanding, why do they all like him?
The little girl was a little confused. Love is really a little unpredictable.

But Teacher Jiang Yu is really something. Wouldn’t it be better for him to be with Sister Mu Wan?

If Jiang Yu knew what Li Xueyao was thinking, he would just say, "Little girl, you are still too young. Only children make choices. As an adult, you must want everything."

Choose one? Hang yourself on a tree?
I feel unworthy of my identity as a reborn person.

In the room upstairs, Jiang Yu was also looking at the trending searches. Today, Yang Xue’s new drama was officially announced, and because of the theme song, it was very popular.

On WeChat, both Yang Xue and Director Yu sent me messages containing the booking data for the drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds" and the popularity data for the song "Liang Liang".

Currently, the number of reservations for the drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds" has exceeded three million and is heading towards four million. As for the theme song "Liang Liang", it has already reached fourth place on the new song chart. The popularity of actress Yang Xue and Jiang Yu is still very strong.

At this moment, many netizens on the Internet have also seen the scene on the new song chart.

The top four are all Jiang Yu's songs, three of which he wrote for his ex-girlfriends and one is his own.

And now, the third and fourth are Song Yuqing and Yang Xue, one is "Love You" and the other is "Liang Liang". These two exes, one released a new song yesterday, and the other released a new song today, and there seems to be a sense of secretly competing with each other.

"Have you noticed that the top four songs on the new song chart are all Jiang Yu's songs, haha."

"Look at the third and fourth, Yuqing's "Love You" and Yang Xue's "Liang Liang" released today. These two released new songs one after the other, and it feels like there's a lot of tension in the air."

"Yeah, it feels like the two of them are secretly competing with each other. Haha, I'm suddenly curious. Both songs were written by Jiang Yu, and they're both exes. So who's better, Yang Xue or our sister Yu Qing?"

"I also want to see if Yang Xue's song will surpass Yu Qing's."

"Damn it! You can't surpass my Yuqing baby. Yuqing is such a cute, sweet girl. I must win!"

……

Jiang Yu also saw the comments online at this moment. He ignored those who scolded him. He saw that some people were discussing who would win between Yang Xue and Song Yuqing. Currently, Song Yuqing was in the lead, but the data of the song "Liangliang" was rising rapidly. Maybe the later one would take the lead?

Yang Xue and Song Yuqing also saw these comments, and they were secretly competing with each other in their hearts.

However, Song Yuqing was still a little surprised. Why did her brother sing a song with this old woman? Humph! "I have never sung a song with my brother before."

The little girl was a little unhappy. When I find a chance, I also want to sing a song with my brother.

……

At night, Chengdu.

In the B&B where the "Walk and Sing" production crew was staying, everyone was sitting in the hall. Between Su Muwan and Shen Hongyu sat Jiang Yu's homeroom teacher, Teacher Dong.

Teacher Dong, whose hair was already a little silver, sat here with a kind smile on his face: "Don't just focus on taking care of me, just do whatever you do on weekdays."

This was also Teacher Dong’s first time recording a program, but having been on the podium and even in public classes for many years facing many teachers and leaders, she was not at all stage nervous.

Jiang Yu and the others were also a little surprised that the program team would invite Teacher Dong over in the evening.

Jiang Yu looked at Director Hu, who smiled and nodded at him.

Su Muwan sat next to Jiang Yu's homeroom teacher. She knew during the day that Teacher Dong and Jiang Yu were probably not just ordinary teacher and student. There was a faint smile on her pretty face.

"It's okay, Teacher Dong. You're a guest here, and you're an elder. It's our duty to take care of you."

Li Xueyao sat aside, looked at Teacher Dong with some curiosity and asked.

"Teacher Dong, could you tell us about Mr. Jiang Yu's student days? What was he like as a child?"

Li Xueyao had always been curious about what such an excellent teacher like Jiang Yu was like in the past. And now that she was in Jiang Yu's hometown, where his homeroom teacher was, she had the opportunity to get to know him better.

Li Xueyao, Shen Hongyu, and Mao Yiming all looked at Teacher Dong curiously after hearing Li Xueyao's question. They were also very curious about Jiang Yu's past.

Such an outstanding and handsome person, what was he like when he was a child?
When Teacher Dong heard that the little girl Li Xueyao was curious about Jiang Yu's past and the others were looking at her expectantly, Teacher Dong also said with a smile.

"Xiao Jiang has been very sensible since he was young. His family and I are neighbors, and I've watched him grow up. I taught him, and he's a very good student and very obedient. Back then, Xiao Jiang was in the top three in his class. Later, when he went to college, I heard he participated in some talent show, and now he's become a big star."

As Teacher Dong spoke, he looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting opposite him, and at his student, his eyes full of pride and honor.

Director Hu was also very satisfied when he saw this scene. He just wanted someone to guide the topic in this direction so that those people on the Internet would know how much harm Hu Tian's words had done to Jiang Yu.

All he knew now was that Jiang Yu was an orphan. He wasn't entirely clear about anything else. But today, through discussions with Teacher Dong and the school's leadership, he learned that Jiang Yu had lived with his grandparents since he was six years old, and that his life had been difficult. His schooling had been subsidized by government subsidies.

Just from this point, Director Hu was keenly aware that Jiang Yu's life experience must have been very difficult. The reason why Hu Tian's words caused such a big reaction in Jiang Yu must be related to his own.

Now that there are so many people scolding and accusing him online, Director Hu feels that he needs to do something for Jiang Yu.

Everyone listened with gusto as Teacher Dong recounted Jiang Yu's anecdotes from his school days. Su Muwan, in particular, was particularly amused. Jiang Yu had never told her about these things. Teacher Dong's descriptions of Jiang Yu's embarrassing moments from that time also made everyone laugh.

Jiang Yu watched this scene with a smile. As Teacher Dong spoke, memories of those green years gradually emerged. That was youth, a time that could never be returned.

Li Xueyao looked at Teacher Dong with a puzzled look and asked.

"Teacher Dong, what about Teacher Jiang Yu's parents? I don't think I've ever heard you or Teacher Jiang Yu mention them. Teacher Jiang Yu is so outstanding, so his parents must be outstanding too, right?"

However, when Li Xueyao asked this question, the expressions of Teacher Dong and Su Muwan changed slightly.

Shen Hongyu and the others also noticed this keenly. At this moment, everyone realized that there might be some story behind this.

Jiang Yu's parents, they had been recording the show together for so long that sometimes everyone would talk about their families, and sometimes his parents would even call. But Shen Hongyu and the others had never seen or heard Jiang Yu mention his parents.

Is it...

Teacher Dong and Su Muwan both looked at Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was silent for a moment at this time, and then spoke with a faint smile on his face.

"It's okay, teacher. There's nothing to hide."

Everyone looked at the smile on Jiang Yu's face, and suddenly felt that the smile seemed a little forced.

There was some heartache in the eyes of Teacher Dong and Su Muwan. Teacher Dong pondered for a moment, his tone a little sad and regretful.

"Xiao Jiang's parents died when he was very young. If I remember correctly, they died when he was six years old."

When Shen Hongyu and the others heard what Teacher Dong said, their hearts trembled.

Although they had guessed something from Teacher Dong and the others' reactions just now, they were still shocked when they heard the news.

Shen Hongyu looked at Jiang Yu, with a look of surprise, sadness, and sympathy in her eyes...

So, this is why he never mentioned his parents. So, this is also why, after recording the show together for so long, Jiang Yu's parents have never called once...

Even Lin Yi's eyes changed at this moment. When he looked at Jiang Yu, there was less jealousy and dissatisfaction in his eyes, and more sympathy.

It turns out that this guy became an orphan at such a young age.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting there in silence, and their emotions were a bit complicated. Teacher Mao Yiming, who was sitting next to Jiang Yu, was not good at expressing himself, but at this moment he reached out and patted Jiang Yu's guest.

Jiang Yu smiled at Teacher Mao and said, "It's okay, it's all over."

But as he spoke these words, the emotions in his heart surged up again, causing his voice to tremble slightly. After so many years, his original body still hadn't let go of that matter, and the emotions that remained in his heart also surged up.

Everyone listened to Jiang Yu's trembling figure, some even choked up, and felt a little sad and sympathetic in their hearts.

Su Muwan felt even more distressed.

Teacher Dong sighed upon seeing this. "Xiao Jiang is a very pitiful yet very strong child. I've also seen a lot of people scolding him online. I think it's because he hit someone, right?"

"But today, a young teacher at school told me that when she showed me the video, she saw that person scolded Xiao Jiang first. You might not think that was a big deal, but it was very hurtful to Xiao Jiang..."

Teacher Dong thought about the video the two young teachers had shown her today at school. She saw how those people online were indiscriminately hurling insults at her student, the child. In particular, it was the man named Hu Tian who had first insulted her student. She didn't know how much harm that had done to the child, the line "Mother gave birth to him, but mother didn't raise him."

Teacher Dong looked at Jiang Yu with eyes full of heartache, and even his eyes were a little red.

"I'm old and don't read the news much. If the teacher at school hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that this kid had suffered so much injustice. I don't understand anything. I don't care about celebrities or not. I only know that Xiao Jiang is my student. I know the hardships he's gone through, but those who scolded him don't. That sentence hurt Teacher Xiao Jiang so much, otherwise Xiao Jiang wouldn't have taken action..."

As Teacher Dong spoke, her eyes became red. She looked at Jiang Yu. She didn't know if what she said would reduce the number of people scolding the child online, but she only knew that she couldn't let the child be misunderstood and scolded like this.

"Xiao Jiang's mother back then..."

When Teacher Dong said this, it seemed that the sad past came to mind. She choked up a little, and seemed afraid to mention Jiang Yu's sad story, so she didn't continue.

When everyone heard this, their emotions were aroused by Teacher Dong. They were all a little curious about what the hidden secrets and stories were.

Teacher Jiang Yu’s parents died when he was six years old. What happened to his mother?
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yu. He seemed relatively normal at the moment, but only he knew that the emotions in his heart had already surged up, making his nose feel a little sore and his voice tremble. There seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him to speak up, just say it out.

His eyes were slightly red, his voice was choked, but he still had a forced smile on his face.

"Since Teacher Dong has already mentioned this, let me tell you my story. My parents died when I was six. That year, my father was in a car accident. The driver ran away and has never been found. He is also gone. I am the only one left at home with my mother who was overworked and had become ill due to overwork..."

"At that time, my mother took care of me. I could clearly feel her pain. Every night she rolled around in pain on the bed. I didn't understand at the time, I didn't understand anything. I thought she was just tired. But later, my grandmother told me that she had cancer."

As Jiang Yu spoke, his eyes were red with emotion and his voice was choked. Su Muwan felt distressed and sat silently beside Jiang Yu, handed him the tissue and gently held his hand.

Everyone listened quietly, but at this moment, it seemed that everyone's eyes were a little red, and their hearts seemed to be stabbed by something, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

"Six months after my father passed away, it was Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother was very kind and gentle. I clearly remember that morning she touched my head, smiled gently at me, gave me some money, and told me to go to the village pharmacy to buy him sleeping pills. She said the rest of the money was for chocolate. I didn't understand anything at the time, really. All I had eyes for was chocolate. I ran to buy it and came back with the pills and chocolate..."

Jiang Yu's tone seemed relaxed, but it sounded so heavy to everyone.

"My mother passed away that night. I had no idea. I slept with her in my arms all night. It wasn't until the next day when Teacher Dong came over that I realized she was... gone."

"I still remember that after I bought the medicine, my mother looked at me for a long time. Maybe she thought about taking me away, but..."

When Jiang Yu said this, he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and burst into tears. Su Muwan held his hand tightly, her eyes red and full of heartache.

"If...if I hadn't wanted to eat chocolate so much back then, maybe I would be a child with a mother now..."

Jiang Yu's voice was a little choked, which made everyone feel distressed and their eyes red. Shen Hongyu and Li Xueyao had already shed tears, and even Lin Yi and teachers Mao Yiming had red eyes.
