How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 206: Want to gather Jiang Yu’s exes together?

Song Yuqing was a little excited. She hadn't known before that her brother would also participate in Penguin's talent show "Star of Tomorrow".

But now, my brother said that he also wants to participate in the recording!
All of a sudden, the little girl became excited and her fingers typed on the screen quickly.

"Really, bro? You're going to participate in Rising Star too? That's great! I can record the show with bro then, hehe."

Jiang Yu looked at the message sent by sister Yuqing. Even though it was just text, in his mind, he seemed to be able to imagine the excitement of a little girl in the country at that moment.

"It must be true. Penguin just confirmed it with me not long ago. I forgot to ask Director Hu. I didn't expect that you, Yuqing, would also go."

Jiang Yu had previously been contacted directly by Penguin, and Director Hu hadn't told him who the mentors were. There was no news online, and the show hadn't even been officially announced. If Yu Qing hadn't mentioned it today, he probably wouldn't have known until Penguin officially announced the mentor lineup.

"Hehe, I just found out you were going, brother. Well, it's a deal. See you on the show then."

"Okay, see you then."

……

Time flies. After two episodes of "Singer," Jiang Yu remains firmly in first place. Now, only the finals remain to be recorded and broadcast. The production team will be using a live broadcast for this finals, so it won't air until after New Year's Eve, which is New Year's Day.

During this period, Jiang Yu basically traveled back and forth between China and abroad. He came back to record "Singer", participated in some activities, and then flew abroad to shoot "Detective Chinatown".

The crew is filming very quickly. Director Chen originally estimated that it would be finished after the New Year. However, judging by the current progress, it is likely that filming will be finished by the end of January, before the New Year.

With three days left until New Year's Eve, all the major TV stations were preparing for their New Year's Eve galas, with the guest lineups already officially announced. As a current top-tier talent and the youngest king of Chinese pop music, Jiang Yu was naturally invited by all the major TV stations.

In the end, Jiang Yu chose Mango TV. After all, he was still recording a program there, and he was too lazy to run away. For convenience, he directly attended the Mango TV New Year's Eve Gala. After the New Year's Eve Gala, the "Singer" finals would be broadcast live on New Year's Day, and the two shows would be back-to-back. If he attended another TV station's New Year's Eve gala, he would have to make an extra trip, which was quite troublesome.

These days, the internet is essentially abuzz with discussions about the major TV stations' New Year's Eve galas. This time of year, it's time for major TV stations to compete for ratings. Mango TV, one of the top five domestic TV stations, has consistently performed well in its entertainment department. However, competition with Blueberry TV remains fierce.

In the past, Mango TV and Blueberry TV took turns taking first place at the annual New Year's Eve Gala. However, in the past two years, Mango TV has been somewhat suppressed by Blueberry TV. This is the second consecutive year that it has lost to Blueberry TV at the New Year's Eve Gala.

As the New Year's Eve Gala approaches this year, several major TV stations are promoting and building momentum, and all the major stars in the industry have been divided up by these major stations. Among them, Mango TV and Blueberry TV have basically divided up most of the popular artists in the industry.

At this moment, Director Huang, the leader of Mango TV, frowned slightly as he looked at the lineup of the rival Blueberry TV's New Year's Eve Gala.

"Yang Xue, Song Yuqing, and a few other superstars, but that guy, Old Li, has invited most of the guests I wanted to invite this year."

Director Huang was also a little depressed. When he saw that Jiang Yu agreed to let him attend the station's New Year's Eve party this year, he thought of inviting Su Muwan, Yang Xue and Song Yuqing, Jiang Yu's three ex-girlfriends. Then there would definitely be no shortage of popularity, traffic and ratings.

As a result, Blueberry TV had already taken action, and Yang Xue and Song Yuqing had been taken down by Blueberry TV a long time ago, and they did it just one step ahead of the others.

To be on the safe side, Director Huang quickly contacted Su Muwan. Fortunately, she was able to get her in. He felt that if he had been a step later, that Blueberry Station boss, Mr. Li, would have snatched Su Muwan away.

And the most important thing is that he had just finished dinner with Jiang Yu and confirmed the New Year's Eve party, but before the dinner was over, Lao Li called Jiang Yu.

Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise, if I was a little later, Jiang Yu would not be able to be saved.

"It's okay, it's okay. Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are still here."

Director Huang was furious when he thought of Lao Li. This bastard was playing dirty tricks on him. The night before, he asked him out for drinks and promised fair competition. But the next day, he was playing tricks on him.

"With Jiang Yu and Su Muwan here, and so many popular artists, we should be able to win this year, right?"

Director Huang was actually a little unsure. They had come just a hair's breadth away from beating Blueberry Channel for two consecutive years, but it had always been that close. This year, with Jiang Yu and Su Muwan, Director Huang felt they could give it a try.

At the moment, Director Li at Blueberry Channel was looking at the guest lineup for their own New Year's Eve party this year and was quite satisfied. However, when he saw the guest lineup of Mango Channel over there, Director Li sighed.

"Alas, why are you so late?"

If I had acted faster, Su Muwan and Jiang Yu would have been invited over by me.

Ugh!
Now, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are with Lao Huang and the others, which is a bit imperfect.

Director Li's idea was similar to Director Huang's: to bring Jiang Yu together with his three exes. That would surely generate buzz and draw viewership. Director Li even came up with a way to boost ratings: he could arrange for Jiang Yu to perform with one, or all three, of his exes.

But now, Old Huang has snatched Jiang Yu away, and the plan has fallen through.

But fortunately, I got Yang Xue and Song Yuqing, and their guest lineup this year is also not weak.

"Hey, Lao Huang, Lao Huang, the number one ratings this year must still be ours."

They have been ranked first in ratings for two consecutive years. Director Li doesn't believe that Lao Huang can surpass them this year.

I didn’t get the person I wanted, but didn’t Lao Huang and his friends also not get the person they wanted?
Now, we just have to wait and see what happens during the New Year’s Eve party.

Director Li picked up his phone and sent a message to Director Huang.

"Old Huang, how about we make a bet? If we come out on top again this year, I can pick any bottle from your wine cabinet and take it away."

When Director Huang saw the message, he immediately sent a voice message.

"Get lost! The competition hasn't even started yet and you're already thinking of taking first place. Prop your pillow higher when you go to bed. Maybe our station will take first place this year."

"Okay, let's make a bet. If I win, I'll take any bottle of wine from your wine cabinet. If you win, I'll give you the bottle of red wine from my wine cabinet that you liked last time."

When Director Huang heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought about it.

"Okay, let's take a gamble."

……

December 31st.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcasts of the New Year's Eve Galas on major satellite TV stations officially began.

After twelve o'clock tonight, it will be New Year's Day. It seems that the streets and alleys are already filled with the New Year's atmosphere.

The Lunar New Year is on February 1st next year, but the National New Year is coming soon.

Every year around this time, major TV stations' New Year's Eve galas are a constant companion. While many non-celebrity viewers might consider the galas optional, for those who are, this is a thrilling time, as they get to see so many of their favorite stars all at once. After watching one channel's shows, they can also watch other channels.

For example, Lin Qianqian, she is half in the circle, but she also likes some stars. Look, she did not miss this year's New Year's Eve party.

I had planned to have dinner with my bestie and then watch the New Year's Eve Gala together. But my bestie's boyfriend came to visit her. The couple wanted to spend the New Year's Eve together, so I, a single person, could only watch the New Year's Eve Gala at home all alone.

Lin Qianqian, covered in a blanket and wearing plush pajamas, leaned against the headboard. A tablet sat on a small table on the bed. She casually browsed through the live broadcasts of the major TV stations' New Year's Eve galas. They had just begun, but Lin Qianqian was the first to click on Blueberry Channel's live broadcast.

Thinking of her best friend abandoning her for a man, Lin Qianqian curled her lips and snorted, "It's so cold and you're still going out to celebrate New Year's Eve? Humph, I'm staying at home watching the New Year's Eve party. I'm staying warm."

Really, it’s a good thing that I’m not in a relationship, otherwise I would have to spend the New Year’s Eve with him outside in such a cold weather. Really, romance can’t compare to warmth.

Watching Blueberry TV's New Year's Eve Gala this year, the opening performance was by several popular young actors this year, followed by a powerful singer who heated up the atmosphere.

Basically, every evening party on each major station starts with a popular young actor to open the show and attract the audience, followed by talented singers to liven up the atmosphere.

"If I remember correctly, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are both on Mango TV and will appear later."

Lin Qianqian recalled the official announcements of the lineups of major satellite TV stations that she had seen before. Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were on Mango Channel, while Yang Xue and Song Yuqing were on Blueberry Channel.

After taking a look at the program list, Lin Qianqian was a little surprised.

"Why is Jiang Yu's program column blank?"

She hadn't noticed it before, but today, she found that the guest program lists of major TV stations all showed what the guests were going to perform. But Jiang Yu's column was blank. There was only his name, no program list, and no idea what Jiang Yu was going to perform.

This made Lin Qian curious.

"Is Mango TV planning to use Jiang Yu to boost ratings and create suspense?"

After all, Jiang Yu is so popular right now, so it's no surprise that Mango TV is acting this way. Jiang Yu has so many fans now, and his popularity has increased significantly since participating in "Singer." His participation in the New Year's Eve Gala already generated a lot of attention. And everyone knows that with Jiang Yu's personality, he almost always releases new songs at every performance.

This time, Mango TV left the program that Jiang Yu was going to perform blank. Lin Qianqian felt that Jiang Yu probably had a new work to bring, and he did this to create suspense.

Sure enough, when Lin Qianqian opened the live broadcast room of Mango TV, she saw many viewers asking this question.

"Hey, did you see that Jiang Yu's program column is blank? What show is he going to perform today?"

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it before. It's really blank. What's going on? What is Jiang Yu going to perform?"

"I feel like there are new songs coming, but Mango TV hasn't announced them yet because they want to create suspense and attract viewers to boost ratings."

"I saw the guest lineup, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan are both here, and I saw Su Muwan's Weibo, she said she has a surprise for fans tonight." "I also saw Su Muwan's Weibo, it's New Year's Eve today, I wonder what the surprise is."

"Oh my god! Is my wife going to announce that she and Jiang Yu are back together? No, honey, how can I live without you?"

……

At this moment on Mango TV, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were sitting in the first row of the guest seats. I don’t know if it was intentional on Mango TV’s part, but their seats were right next to each other.

At large-scale parties and events like these, seating is very particular. The seats closer to the front are reserved for high-profile artists. For example, the first row where Jiang Yu and his group sat, apart from some leaders, was filled with top artists in the industry.

Su Muwan, as a super-popular pop star, undoubtedly had a front-row seat, and Jiang Yu, a top-tier talent known as the youngest superstar in Chinese pop music, was perfectly justified in his position. Furthermore, the Golden Melody Awards were about to begin in early January, and everyone felt that Jiang Yu's performance this year would definitely earn him an award.

Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were sitting there. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan wearing a white dress, who looked like a fairy from the sky. The heating was on in the room, so she didn't feel cold.

"Mu Wan, your new album is coming out tonight, right?"

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan. Because the scene was quite noisy, he moved a little closer. He could even smell the fragrance on Su Muwan's body.

Su Muwan turned her head slightly and almost kissed Jiang Yu. She glared at Jiang Yu coquettishly, feeling that this guy was deliberately getting so close to her.

Jiang Yu chuckled and didn't care. Su Muwan spoke.

"Well, it will be online on time at 12 o'clock tonight."

Su Muwan has been preparing for this album for a long time and was originally scheduled to be released at the beginning of this month. However, Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's new albums were released online at the beginning of this month, so she postponed it. As the New Year is coming soon, she is ready to give her fans a New Year's surprise.

We have already warmed up before, but the specific release time of the new album has not been announced. We will wait until 12 o'clock tonight to spend the New Year with our fans with the new album.

At this moment, the camera inadvertently swept across the guest seats and happened to capture Jiang Yu and Su Muwan having an intimate conversation.

This scene was very short, only a second or two, but it had already made the audience in the live broadcast room of Mango TV boil over with excitement.

"Holy crap! What did I see? Jiang Yu and my goddess are sitting together?"

"Damn! Jiang Yu, why are you so close to my wife? Hurry up and leave this bad guy."

"Haha, Jiang Yu and Mu Wan were actually arranged to sit together. Wow, Mango TV really knows what netizens want to see."

"Actually, I've always thought it's great that Jiang Yu and Mu Wan got back together. They're such a good match. Earlier, during the Walking and Singing episode, when Jiang Yu returned to his alma mater, he was so sad. I saw Mu Wan quietly sitting beside him and comforting him. That scene was so heartwarming. They're such a perfect match."

"Yes, yes, yes. When I saw that scene, I also thought Mu Wan was really good. Woo woo woo, Jiang Yu, you have to cherish such a good woman and treat my sister Mu Wan well."

……

Lin Qianqian also saw this scene at this moment and was a little surprised that Jiang Yu and Su Muwan's seats were actually arranged together.

This also made Lin Qianqian laugh. It seems that Mango TV still knows what the audience likes to watch.

She also felt that Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were a perfect match. Otherwise, Teacher Jiang Yu, you should stop being so fickle, forget about your other two exes, and just be with Teacher Su.

On the Blueberry Channel side, Yang Xue was sitting in the first row, and Song Yuqing was sitting in the second row.

Both of them celebrated New Year's Eve at Blueberry TV this year. However, although Song Yuqing is very popular now, especially after the two new songs written by Jiang Yu, her popularity has skyrocketed and her career is developing very well. She is the best developed among the members of the girl group.

However, compared with Yang Xue, it is still a lot worse, but being able to sit in the second row is also very good.

At this moment, Song Yuqing had no interest in watching the performance on the stage. Her brother didn't come. If she had known earlier, she should have gone to Mango TV.

Especially now, Yuqing, who was wearing headphones, was watching the live broadcast of Mango TV. She wanted to see if her brother had appeared. As a result, she suddenly saw Su Muwan sitting with her brother, having an intimate conversation.

Suddenly, the little girl became unhappy and felt uncomfortable, and her lips curled up.

"What? You let her be with her brother again."

Ahhh! This is so annoying. Why is it always that old woman Su Muwan who is with my brother?

snort!
Later, I would record "Star of Tomorrow" with my brother and let the old woman just watch.

At this moment, Yang Xue was also sitting in the first row playing with her mobile phone. She saw this scene and frowned slightly.

Not only did this guy go to the New Year's Eve party with Su Muwan, but they also sat together and were so intimate?

snort!
I will never let this guy get into my bed next time.

Yang Xue thought so in her heart, but she didn't watch it for too long. After all, this was the Blueberry Channel's New Year's Eve party, and from time to time there were guests and some leaders coming to say hello. It was not good or polite to watch the program of a competing channel so blatantly.

Lin Qianqian looked at the evening parties scheduled earlier, but couldn't find any celebrities she wanted to see. She simply watched the New Year's Eve galas from the five major TV stations, then timed her time to see Song Yuqing on Blueberry TV. She sang "Love You," a hit song Jiang Yu had written for her. Her sweet performance and dancing on stage moved even Lin Qianqian, a woman like her.

"Hiss! It seems like Jiang Yu and Yu Qing are a good match."

Then he looked at the time and immediately jumped to Mango TV. He happened to see Su Muwan's performance. She sang two of her classic songs that had become popular before. After the performance, Su Muwan spoke.

"There will be a surprise at twelve o'clock tonight."

This also made Lin Qianqian a little curious and surprised?

What's the surprise?
Are you officially announcing your reunion with Jiang Yu?

Or something else?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Lin Qianqian's mind, as if she had thought of something.

"Is it a new album?"

I saw Su Muwan saying that she was going to release a new album before. There have been a lot of news about it online recently, but Su Muwan hasn't released it yet.

And now Su Muwan said there will be a surprise at twelve o'clock. Could it be that the new album will be released at twelve o'clock tonight?
This is very likely.

But at this moment, Lin Qianqian's attention was all on the New Year's Eve party. After Su Muwan finished her performance, several seniors also finished their performances, and finally it was Jiang Yu's turn, whom she had been waiting for for a long time.

She was very curious about what song Jiang Yu would be performing at the New Year's Eve party tonight. Up to now, Mango TV had not announced the song Jiang Yu would be performing.

"Finally he's here. I almost fell asleep watching the previous show. Finally, I've waited for Jiang Yu."

"Haha, I'm also waiting for Jiang Yu's performance. I'm curious about what he's going to perform today. The program hasn't been announced yet."

"It must be a new song. I came here from the Blueberry Channel live studio specifically to watch Jiang Yu."

"What a coincidence! I also came over there specifically to watch Jiang Yu's performance."

……

At this moment, in the backstage of the Mango TV New Year's Eve Gala live broadcast room, Director Huang was sitting here, watching the live broadcast data in the backstage.

When Su Muwan took the stage to perform, the number of live viewers reached a peak, then fell slightly. Now, as soon as Jiang Yu appeared on stage, the number of live viewers began to surge again, and it was rising in a straight line. Jiang Yu had just taken the stage and hadn't started performing yet, but the curve was flat with the peak curve during Su Muwan's performance, and it was still rising.

Seeing this scene, Director Huang's smile was so bright.

"Sure enough, Jiang Yu was snatched away. The ratings are really high."

As for the current curve, it hasn't reached its peak yet. Jiang Yu has just come on stage. Director Huang feels that after Jiang Yu starts performing, the curve will continue to rise.

On the stage, Jiang Yu had already walked onto the stage with a microphone in his hand, and suddenly cheers from the audience rang out one after another.

"Jiang Yu! Jiang Yu!"

Everyone listened to the excited voices of the audience, and even many who were not Jiang Yu fans were cheering and shouting at this moment.

The other guests were all a little emotional. Jiang Yu's popularity is really enviable.

The music slowly started playing, and Jiang Yu's performance was about to begin.

"Song Title: Exchange the Rest of Life
Singer: Jiang Yu

Lyricist: Jiang Yu

Composer: Jiang Yu..."
