How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 178 Have You Ever Come to My Dreams?
When everyone heard Jiang Yu's words, the students and teachers present were slightly stunned.

A song for his mother?

Could it be some blessing songs?
However, when Jiang Yu mentioned his mother, everyone was a little confused. It seemed that Jiang Yu had never mentioned his mother before. Even after so many years of his debut, there seemed to be no media coverage. Recently, Jiang Yu became a hot topic because of the incident of beating someone, which caused a lot of controversy. It was because Hu Tian cursed him, "You have a mother who gave birth to you but no mother who raised you," that Jiang Yu took action.

This time, Jiang Yu said that the song he brought was for his mother. Is there any story behind it?
Chengdu is Jiang Yu's hometown, but he came back to record the show. It seems that his family members, his parents, were not present at this performance. He wrote a song for his mother, but his mother didn't come either?
"A song written for his mother? Is Jiang Yu's mother here? I see that there's no one else in front except the school leaders, teachers, and their guests."

"Rongcheng is Jiang Yu's hometown. Since he has a song to give to his mother, shouldn't no one come?"

"Have you noticed that Jiang Yu has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he has never mentioned his parents or family, and they haven't even been reported by the media."

"Yes, I noticed that too. Could it be that his family situation is very special, or even confidential?"

"Come on, if it was really that level, Jiang Yu would have been blackmailed by the entire internet before. Now that he's been criticized like that, who would dare to blackmail him?"

"Could it be...that his family situation is not good?"

……

At this moment, some students and teachers thought of something.

Looking at Jiang Yu on the stage, everyone seemed to think of that possibility...

Su Muwan, Director Hu and the others were also shocked when they heard Jiang Yu say this.

Looking at Jiang Yu on the stage, Su Muwan and the others felt a little distressed, but more of it was a hint of anticipation.

What song would Jiang Yu write for his mother?

Now everyone knows Jiang Yu's background and what his mother means to him. They are all looking forward to having Jiang Yu write a song specifically for his mother.

On the stage, Jiang Yu nodded to the music teachers, melodious music sounded, and the scene gradually became quiet.

The slow music, like the gurgling of a stream, made people unconsciously quiet down. It was gentle yet ethereal. As the prelude ended, Jiang Yu's voice rang out in everyone's ears.

"Sunrise and sunset
Deeper and deeper

a small square table
One meat and one vegetable

A figure is busy calmly
A pair of hands makes this time warm..."

As soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth, it seemed as if some kind of magic had been cast on him. The originally noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet. Only the music and Jiang Yu's singing voice rang in everyone's ears.

Listening to the song and savoring the lyrics, a beautiful image seemed to emerge in everyone's mind at this moment. A mother working from sunrise to sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a shadow over the cottage and the yard. The mother toiled diligently, preparing a meal, and then sat at a small square table with her children to eat. As the sun set, everything seemed so beautiful...

The lyrics were very vivid, and for a split second, it was as if the scene was brought to life before everyone. At that moment, everyone seemed to see Jiang Yu's childhood, the young him...

Su Muwan looked at Jiang Yu on the stage, listening to the song, her eyes a little dazed. Was this the childhood he described?

Not only Su Muwan, Lin Yi and Shen Hongyu were also quietly listening to Jiang Yu's song "One Meat and One Vegetable" at this moment. From the lyrics, it seemed to describe a wonderful childhood life for everyone.

Looking at Jiang Yu on the stage, they were also a little dazed. At that time, Jiang Yu was so happy with his mother. The lyrics revealed a sense of warmth and happiness.

At this moment, they all saw Jiang Yu's childhood, which was happy and beautiful with a mother.

Such a beautiful day makes them feel warm.

"Too young people
He is always dissatisfied

Stubbornly unwilling to stop

The footsteps of a long journey

I walked a long way while looking at the high sky

Forgot to look back

Did she cry..."

Listening to these lyrics, it seems Jiang Yu has captured the current state of young people in society. Or perhaps it's his hope and yearning for his mother to still be around, watching him grow up and journeying on. It's also like he's warning young people today not to be so obsessed with success and money that they forget the people they love most, their mothers, in the pursuit of work.

It is Jiang Yu’s inner fantasy and also the song he wrote for everyone.

Listening to this passage, the students seemed to think of their own mothers, the mothers who saved money so that they could go to school. Now they are far away from home, studying in other places, thinking that they can see a wider world, but they seem to have forgotten to look back at their mothers...

The school leaders and Director Hu were particularly moved by these words. When I was young, I always wanted to work hard and give my family a better life. But what parents want, what mothers want most, is for their children to be safe and sound, and even to see them often...

For a moment, memories and emotions in people's hearts gradually surged up, and many people began to feel a lump in their throats.

On the stage, Jiang Yu's singing continued.

"The moon is bright and the wind is light

But you're tapping on my window lattice
Don't worry when you hear this

Actually, I'm doing okay
The moon is bright and the wind is light
Have you ever been in my dream?
You must have been too careful when you came
You know I sleep lightly..."

When I sang to this point, the memories in my mind began to emerge, my nose felt a little sore, my eyes became a little red, and even my singing began to choke.

This song "One Meat and One Vegetable" was written by Mao Buyi for his deceased mother. This time he also wanted to use this song to give to everyone, to all mothers, and to his own mother.

In his previous life, Jiang Yu had been uncontrollably moved by this song. This time, with his original body's memories, as he sang it, those memories kept coming back to him, and the emotion was hard to suppress.

This song was written by Mao Buyi for his mother. Mao Buyi's mother passed away due to cancer a few years ago. At that time, he was in a very bad stage in his life. It has always been a regret in Mao Buyi's heart that his mother could not see the achievements he has made.

When preparing for the album "An Ordinary Day," this song was included as the album's third main track. Mao Buyi said that in his distant hometown, in the shadows behind him, there was once a pair of hands toiling day and night for the listeners, a person with tears in her eyes. Her encouragement in every word and action, her care for every aspect of life, her presence in everyone's lives was taken for granted, even making the listeners forget her fragility. But one day, she too will be gone...

This song "One Meat and One Vegetable" was born from Mao Buyi's pen.

At this moment, everyone was listening to Jiang Yu's choked singing, looking at his red eyes, and listening to the song, and their noses were a little sore.

Especially Su Muwan and the others, when they heard the lyrics of the chorus, including the line "Have you ever come to my dream? You must have been too careful when you came, knowing that I sleep lightly", they couldn't hold back their emotions the moment they heard it, and their eyes became moist.

They could all feel Jiang Yu's longing for his mother. This part of the lyrics was really touching and made people cry instantly.

At this moment, the students, teachers and school leaders present were listening to this verse and watching Jiang Yu's reaction. Their eyes were red and they seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

Could it be that Jiang Yu’s mother has passed away?

At this moment, everyone heard Jiang Yu's song and saw his reaction, and they realized that this might be true. Jiang Yu's mother really passed away, and this song was the song he wrote for his deceased mother.

All of a sudden, it makes people burst into tears.

If there is any emotion in this world that can move people the most, it is undoubtedly family love. Who is the person who loves you the most in this world? It is undoubtedly your mother.

At this moment, when everyone listened to Jiang Yu's song, they seemed to feel his inner sadness and his deep longing for his mother.

On the program crew's side, Director Hu stood there with his vision a little blurry. The wind in the auditorium was too strong and blinded him.

"This kid..."

He wiped his tears and looked at Jiang Yu on the stage. At this moment, he felt a little sorry for the child.

There were bursts of sobbing sounds coming from around him, and Director Hu silently handed the tissue to the staff around him.

They all knew about Jiang Yu's life story when Teacher Dong came that night. Now, at this moment, hearing the song "One Meat and One Vegetable" written by Jiang Yu for his mother, especially the chorus, really made people unable to hold their breath.

Everyone felt heartbroken when seeing Jiang Yu on the stage with red eyes and choked up while singing the song.

"The moon is bright and the wind is light

Have you ever been in my dream?
You must have been too careful when you came
Know that I sleep lightly
You must have been too careful when you came
Afraid that I will think of you again..."

At the end of the song, Jiang Yu could no longer control his emotions. He quickly turned his back and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Everyone saw this scene, looking at Jiang Yu's back, his trembling and sobbing shoulders. The microphone was still on, and they could even faintly hear his suppressed crying.

At this moment, no one could hold back any longer and tears immediately welled up in their eyes.

Su Muwan and the others were filled with heartache, and Lin Yi also wiped away tears. The killing power was really too strong.

The students below were also choking with sobs and shouting, "Jiang Yu, don't cry!"

"Don't cry, Jiang Yu! Mom will be heartbroken if she sees you. You must be strong!"

"Yes, we will always support you!"

……

At that moment, after listening to the song "One Meat, One Vegetable," written by Jiang Yu for his mother, they finally understood why Jiang Yu had never mentioned his family, and why the media hadn't reported on it, even after all his time since his debut. It wasn't because Jiang Yu's family background was mysterious, but because he no longer had any family; his mother was no longer around.

Now, they finally understood why Jiang Yu reacted so strongly to Hu Tian's curse.

His mother is gone, and Hu Tian’s words “I was born by my mother but not raised by her” were like a sharp knife stabbing into Jiang Yu’s heart, which is why Jiang Yu reacted so strongly.

It turns out that all this is because his mother has passed away...

In the auditorium, many people cried, moved and heartbroken...

Looking at Jiang Yu on the stage, at that moment, the students realized that they had all misunderstood Jiang Yu. Those people on the Internet had all misunderstood Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was indeed not wrong. It was Hu Tian who was wrong. It was Hu Tian who was too much!

"Oh my God! It turns out that Jiang Yu's mother has... passed away, wuwuwu!"

"One meat, one vegetable. So that's how it is. So that's how it is. This is the song Jiang Yu wrote for his mother. It's really beautiful and touching!"

"That line 'Have you ever been in my dream?' really hit me hard. Oh my god, the abuse Jiang Yu has endured recently has really made me cry. I feel so sorry for him!"

"Yeah, it seems like we misunderstood him and said he overreacted. Now it seems that it wasn't a big deal at all. It was Hu Tian who was overreacting!"

"Wow, there have been so many people scolding Jiang Yu online lately, but he has never said anything about it. He has endured it silently and doesn't want to use his mother to explain himself. I really feel sorry for him!"

"Oh my god! I'm crying my eyes out. I can't take it anymore. I'll never believe anything online again. Jiang Yu, I'll always support you!"

……

Jiang Yu was supported by Director Hu and it took him a while to recover. He was still sobbing, his emotions still lingering, and his eyes were red. He took up the topic, his voice still trembling.

"This song is dedicated to my mother in heaven, and also to everyone, to every mother. I hope everyone can spend more time with their mothers. They are the ones who love you most in the world..."

With a slight bow, Jiang Yu handed the microphone to Director Hu and walked off the stage.

The school leaders all had red eyes as they watched Jiang Yu walk back step by step. This song was so touching. They also didn't expect that the child's mother had passed away...

When the teachers and school leaders thought of the recent online abuse and accusations against him, they all sighed. This child is so pitiful.

Su Muwan and the others all had red eyes. Seeing Jiang Yu come back, Su Muwan was filled with heartache and quickly took out a tissue and handed it to him. Lin Yi and Teacher Mao patted his shoulders.

Jiang Yu smiled at them, sat down, and after singing the song, his mood gradually calmed down.

To be honest, these memories can still affect his emotions. Now he is Jiang Yu from Earth and also Jiang Yu of this world.

The recording of the fourth stop, Chengdu, has ended, and there are still two stops left before the end of "Singing While Walking".

After returning from today's performance, Jiang Yu sent a message to Director Hu: "Director Hu, thank you."

He knew that although this stop had been arranged and the filming in Chengdu had been planned long ago, the visit to his alma mater and Teacher Dong's visit to the B&B were all arranged by Director Hu, just to help him.

Jiang Yu was very clear about this, and he kept this favor in his heart.

Director Hu smiled and said, "Hey, that's too polite. I'm doing this just to capitalize on your popularity. When this episode airs, it's bound to be a huge hit, haha."

Jiang Yu also laughed. Director Hu, such a grown man, was still trying to make excuses.

But I didn't say much. Some things are better to keep in mind than to express unnecessary thanks.

……

After the fourth stop of the recording of "Walking and Singing" was completed, Jiang Yu returned to Zhonghai.

The house had already been renovated a long time ago, but it was only recently completed and not yet habitable. It would probably be by the end of the year or early next year. However, the office space they had rented for the company was now ready, and he, as the boss, would definitely come back to take a look. He also needed to get his team together first, at least with an agent and an assistant.

Otherwise, I could have done it alone at the beginning when there weren't so many announcements and things to do. But now, with the increasing number of announcements, it's definitely not possible to do it alone. Furthermore, in the case of Hu Tian, ​​it was because he was alone and had no team that things escalated so quickly. Hu Tian also took the initiative and gained the upper hand, which led to the one-sided public opinion.

Even with Su Muwan and the others helping out later, the effect wasn't very good. If they had their own team and acted immediately, the impact would definitely have been much less.

Jiang Yu looked at the company's location. They were currently renting three floors of an office building, which was not bad. He thought that as the company expanded and developed, he could rent a few more floors, or even build a whole building.

Now, the venue is there, all we need is people.

Lying in the hotel, after finishing his novel, Jiang Yu chatted with Yang Xue. He had previously asked Yang Xue to help him find a suitable agent and assistant. After all, agents are really important. They must be capable, have good character, and be trustworthy. Otherwise, if the artist's work fails and he ends up getting hurt, it would be a waste of time.

So, you need to find someone you know to introduce you. Yang Xue has been in the industry for many years, is wealthy, and has her own company, so she has a wide network of contacts. Yang Xue's company already has some artists under its wing. While they haven't been very popular, one or two have made it big and are currently considered third-tier. The agents she hires are all quite capable.

"I asked around. My friend just came back from abroad. She's managed many artists in Country H. As you know, the entertainment industry there is very developed, and it's better than what we have in China. My friend is a professional agent. She studied there for two years and has trained several artists who are now very popular in Country H. Please send me her address when you get there, and I'll have her come directly to you tomorrow."

Yang Xue was taking a break from filming a scene when she saw Jiang Yu's message and patiently replied. Jiang Yu had previously told her about forming his own team and asked her to help him find a capable and trustworthy agent.

She also knew that being an agent meant she couldn't be perfunctory. Otherwise, not only would it hinder Jiang Yu's career, but there were also many cases of artists being screwed by untrustworthy and unethical agents.

Originally, she had found several people in the circle for Jiang Yu, but one of her friends was tired of staying in Country H and was preparing to return to China to develop. Yang Xue immediately recommended her to Jiang Yu.

She has known this friend for many years. He is a very capable and trustworthy person.

Jiang Yu looked at the message Yang Xue sent him about her friend. The resume was really good and the ability was indeed strong.

"Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow and talk to her."

"Well, you can talk to her when the time comes. You must be very busy right now, so it is indeed necessary for you to form your own team."

Yang Xue also knew that Jiang Yu was not the same as before. Before, he had less things to do and could handle it all by himself. But now, he definitely couldn't handle it alone. Even if an emergency occurred, he couldn't handle it immediately.

"As for an assistant, you can just hire one directly when the time comes, or I can arrange one for you at my company?"

Jiang Yu thought about it and wondered if Yang Xue arranged someone from her company to be his assistant, wouldn’t he be under surveillance?
This woman is really good at calculating.

He could barely accept this good friend becoming his agent. After all, this person was truly capable and he really needed such talent. However, the position of assistant was not so important. He did not want both his agent and assistant to be from Yang Xue's side.

Otherwise, by then, Yang Xue would know everything I did.

This friend is different from an employee. The agent is Yang Xue's friend and might not share her secrets casually. Yang Xue also said that her friend has been abroad for many years and might not share her secrets either. But as for an employee, if Yang Xue arranges for a trusted person to come here, wouldn't this assistant have to report to the big boss Yang Xue every day?

"Well, there's no need to bother you with an assistant. I can arrange it myself. Look, Xuexue, you've already found such a good agent for me. Why should I bother you?"

When Yang Xue saw that Jiang Yu refused her arrangement for an assistant, she curled her lips. This guy is not sensible at all.

It seems that if I want to know this guy’s whereabouts and news in the future, I can only start from my good friend Jingya.

It's just that she and Jingya haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't even been in touch for a long time. They only chat occasionally on WeChat. Now it seems that she will have to chat with Jingya more and have more meals with her later.

"Okay then, whatever you want. Just recruit people when the time comes."

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Jiang Yu replied, "Don't worry about anything else. I can handle it myself."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to film."

"Okay, Xuexue, take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

After finishing his chat with Yang Xue, Jiang Yu leisurely opened Su Muwan's WeChat. His fingers quickly typed on the screen, and he edited a message and sent it.

"Has Mu Wange finished recording?"

"How's the PR team you helped me find going?"

After thinking about it, I realized that it’s a window period and I need to eat, so I’m going to open a new book. It just so happens that some of the writing in this book is not very good, so I’ll try to make some modifications and make up for it in the new book.
