How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 215: Rising Star Begins Recording

Jiang Yu was also slightly stunned when he saw Xu Ya's message.

Ok……

This was a good question, and it stumped him for a moment.

What's the matter?

What friend?
It doesn't seem good, and saying this will definitely hurt people.

So Jiang Yu thought for a moment and replied.

"What do you think our relationship is?"

Throw this difficult question back and see how the woman reacts.

Xu Ya saw Jiang Yu kick the ball back, but didn't say anything. She typed and asked back.

"Didn't I ask you?"

My goodness, this young woman is not as easy to fool as the young girl, she doesn’t take the bait at all.

Look, the ball has been kicked back again.

Jiang Yu finally replied, "They must have slept in the same bed together. Is our producer Xu going to pull up his pants and turn his back on me?"

Jiang Yu took the initiative and said what the woman was about to say, taking other people's paths and leaving them with no way to go.

Xu Ya looked at Jiang Yu's message, her ears turned red, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

This guy is not serious.

However, Xu Ya still appreciated Jiang Yu's kindness. What's the big deal about living in Jiang Yu's house?
Are you being kept by him?
"Then I don't have to live in your house. I'll find a house myself when the time comes."

"Are you going to the airport now?"

Xu Ya knew that Jiang Yu was busy flying to Country T to film a movie.

"Well, it's almost time. I'll be back next week to record the Star of Tomorrow, which is in Hangzhou. We can get together when we're free."

Looking at Jiang Yu's message about getting together, Xu Ya's eyes flickered slightly. This guy must have bad intentions.

"We'll see then."

Xu Ya didn't believe that this guy's talk of getting together was as simple as just getting together. Every time this guy worked himself to death, she didn't know why he was so strong. She loved and hated him.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

Jiang Yu was looking at the messages sent by Yang Xue at this moment. There was no message congratulating him, only some sarcastic text messages.

"Haha, our teacher Jiang Yu has gained a lot tonight."

"I saw you at the awards ceremony, chatting happily with Song Yuqing and Su Muwan. The hug was so comfortable."

Jiang Yuguang was just looking at the text message, and it seemed as if he could see Yang Xue's resentful eyes. He forgot that Yang Xue would probably watch the live broadcast tonight.

Jiang Yu replied immediately.

"Hey, no way, she's just too enthusiastic, I can't refuse her. But don't worry, Xuexue, you're my favorite."

My favorite is Yang Xue, my favorite is Su Muwan, and my most precious is Song Yuqing, um.

Jiang Yu felt that what he said was correct, and he didn't lie, right?
Yang Xue was leaning against the head of the bed at this moment, looking at the message sent by this guy, curled her lips and said, "Hmph!"
If you still like yourself the most, then why are you hugging other women at the award ceremony, especially your two exes?

Haha, man!
Yang Xue didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Yu at all. This bastard only knew how to deceive her.

Jiang Yu: "By the way, Xuexue, have you received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's question, Yang Xue didn't want to reply at first, but after thinking about it, she still replied.

"I received it a long time ago, why are you asking this?"

"I've also received an invitation. I was wondering if I could perform on the Spring Festival Gala with you, Xuexue. Then we can celebrate the Spring Festival together."

After hearing this sentence, the unhappiness on Yang Xue's face suddenly lessened.

"Tsk, who wants to spend the Spring Festival with you? Just go with your sister Yuqing and Mu Wan."

Jiang Yu looked at Yang Xue's message and could smell a hint of jealousy through the screen.

Sure enough, he is jealous.

"Hey, I still want to spend time with you, Xuexue. I'll come back next week after recording the show and see if I'm free. If I am, I'll come back and have dinner with you."

Yang Xue replied directly: "I'm busy, don't come."

Jiang Yu also smiled. No matter what Yang Xue said, he took the initiative into his own hands.

"It's settled. Next week after I finish recording the show, I'll come back to Zhonghai to have dinner with you."

Yang Xue wanted to say something, but Jiang Yu said, "Let's not talk about it for now. We have to go through security at the airport."

Seeing that this guy had no further contact, Yang Xue snorted coldly, but she immediately opened the calendar to see what day Jiang Yu would come back to record the show next week.

……

As for Wu Tao, he was sitting in the car at the moment. After leaving the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, he also had to go to attend an announcement. His agent was sitting next to him and telling him about some of his upcoming work arrangements.

"This week, we only have a few guests and magazine shoots to do. Next Wednesday, we'll be filming the first episode of Star of Tomorrow. This is China's first talent show, a major project for Penguin, with a huge investment and generous resources. You should do your best. I expect the exposure and traffic this show will bring will be huge."

"Also, many netizens saw you and Jiang Yu on a show together. Because he and you were discussing rap circles before, you two have attracted a lot of attention. You should be careful when things go on. Don't be like that idiot Hu Tian, ​​who got into a conflict with Jiang Yu and ended up getting retaliated against."

Wu Tao also laughed when he heard what his agent said.

"Don't worry, I'm not that idiot as Hu Tian. When I get a chance on the show, I'll definitely show this guy what rap is all about. His fans are really praising him to the skies. They've blown that little rap he did, like he was reading from a textbook, out of proportion. And they're saying our rap isn't good enough."

Wu Tao has always been upset about this matter. He is a rapper himself and is known as the top rapper in China. Seeing Jiang Yu's fans support him so much, almost praising him to the sky and saying that their rapping skills can't compare to Jiang Yu, this has always made Wu Tao and other rappers feel angry.

Plus, he was a runner-up at the Golden Melody Awards tonight, which made Wu Tao want to find something in Jiang Yu. At least in rap, he was definitely not inferior to Jiang Yu.

As for Jiang Yu, how could such a short rap be praised so highly?
Haha, rap, let’s wait and see when this guy releases a complete rap work.

Seeing this, the agent didn't say much. He was still very confident in Wu Tao's strength and influence in the field of rap. It can be said that the popularity of rap in China in the past two years is due to Wu Tao. Without Wu Tao, live rap in China probably wouldn't be so popular. The cake is all made big by Wu Tao.

"Just keep it in mind and record it well when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll definitely perform well and try to lead those students to win the championship."

……

Jiang Yu has been filming abroad these days, while back home, Yang Xue's new drama, "Legend of Yunxi," has officially been released. Filmed last year, the female-led costume drama will premiere during the winter break, on the 20th of this month.

The new drama starring actress Yang Xue is naturally very popular, especially since it is broadcast on Penguin Video. As soon as the official release date was announced, it immediately became a hot search, and among them, a promotional clip released by an official account was the most discussed and popular.

This short promotional video is a clip of Jiang Yu's cameo appearance on the set. It's a very short video, which can be regarded as a behind-the-scenes clip. It shows Jiang Yu chatting and playing with other actors while putting on makeup on the set.

Originally, everyone's focus in this drama was on the female lead Yang Xue, followed by the male lead Gan Quan. But when everyone saw this video, their attention was instantly drawn to Jiang Yu.

"Huh? What's going on? Jiang Yu is also in Yang Xue's new drama?"

"Hmm? I don't see Jiang Yu on the list of leading actors. The male lead is Gan Quan?"

"Jiang Yu is a guest star. I guess Yang Xue asked him to come."

"Haha, this guest appearance in the ex's new drama is interesting. I'm actually looking forward to Yang Xue's new drama."

"Tsk tsk, I was just saying that Jiang Yu was on a show with his ex Su Muwan, and that he was going to record the Rising Star with Song Yuqing. These two exes have been on the show together, so will he be filming with Yang Xue? Look, he's here so soon."

"Although it's just a cameo, it seems to me that Jiang Yu plays a very important role. He's the master of the heroine played by Yang Xue. It seems that Yang Xue and her master are the only ones who have emotional scenes in this drama."

"Ah? The male protagonist doesn't even have Ganquan?"

"Nonsense, a drama with a strong female lead. The male lead is just a tool, a tool for revenge. From the background introduction, I can see that the female lead is in love with her master."

"Hiss! Seeing you guys say that, I'm getting more and more curious about this drama. Haha, I'm also curious about Jiang Yu's guest appearance."

……

At this moment, the news that Jiang Yu will guest-star in Yang Xue's new drama has also become a hot topic, and the discussion and popularity on the Internet are quite high.

And everyone also found a very funny thing, since Yang Xue's new drama "The Legend of Yunxi" was officially announced. Especially after everyone saw that Jiang Yu had a guest appearance, the discussion about the male lead Gan Quan was actually not as hot as Jiang Yu's guest appearance.

This situation is somewhat surprising.

Even the male lead Gan Quan was a little confused when he saw Jiang Yu came to make a guest appearance and was more popular online than himself.

No, are you kidding me? I'm the male lead, okay? Even though I don't have much of a romantic relationship with the female lead and I'm just a tool for unrequited love throughout, I'm still the male lead, okay?

Jiang Yu was just a cameo, a small role that only lasted about ten minutes in the whole show. How come he is more popular than me now?

Who is the male lead?

"Depend on!"

Gan Quan couldn't help but curse. He'd been uncomfortable watching Jiang Yu's guest appearance and the kissing scenes with Yang Xue. But now, after the official release date, Jiang Yu's popularity was surprisingly higher than his own. Suddenly, Gan Quan felt a bit overwhelmed.

……

At this moment, Su Muwan also saw the hot search, which made her frown slightly.

Jiang Yu made a guest appearance in Yang Xue’s new drama “The Legend of Yunxi”?
She looked at the news and comments online. Jiang Yu was making a guest appearance as the master of the heroine in Yang Xue's new drama, and he even had a love scene with the heroine?

This made Su Muwan feel a little unhappy. This guy, I don't know when he went to film with Yang Xue.

"I thought I just wrote a theme song for her and sang it together, but I didn't expect her to guest star in a new drama."

Su Muwan couldn't help but curl her lips. This guy didn't tell her anything at all.

Song Yuqing also saw the news at this moment, and the little girl's face suddenly became unhappy.

"Why is my brother still guest-starring in this woman's drama?"

Seriously, what's so good about this woman's drama? My brother might as well work with me on stage or play the male lead in my music video.

However, when she thought about recording "Star of Tomorrow" with her brother, a smile suddenly appeared on the little girl's face again.

"Humph! That was all in the past between me and you guys. I'm going to be recording a show with you guys soon!"

The little girl held her cell phone, her chin slightly raised, and her sweet and lovely face was full of pride.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day for recording "Star of Tomorrow".

Jiang Yu had already flown back to China a day early from abroad. The recording location for "Star of Tomorrow" was in Hangzhou. Penguin had specially set up a recording venue in a luxurious manor that looked like a castle in a fairy tale.

When Jiang Yulai saw the recording venue, he felt a little emotional. Penguin is indeed rich and generous, and is willing to spend money.

In this environment, he didn't even receive this kind of treatment when he recorded national variety shows like "Singer".

The one hundred contestants who had passed the audition process had already settled in. During the recording session, the studio was closed to prevent anyone from leaking any information or insider information about the show. All the contestants' phones had to be handed in for centralized storage and distribution. Even if they wanted to leave, they had to request leave from the production team, and everyone had signed a confidentiality agreement.

Under the guidance of the staff, Jiang Yu has arrived at the mentor's lounge. The program team is still preparing for the work before recording.

They rested here while looking at the information of the students prepared by the program team.

Jiang Yu pushed open the door of the lounge. He was the last one to arrive because he was the only one who had rushed back from abroad and he was delayed by a magazine shoot.

In the lounge, other instructors had already arrived long ago and were all sitting there looking through the students' materials.

Hearing the noise, several people turned their heads. When Song Yuqing saw Jiang Yu, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her pretty face. She immediately stood up to greet Jiang Yu.

"Brother, you are here!"

The little girl is wearing a white fleece sweatshirt today, wide-leg pants, and a furry rabbit hat on her head. She looks cute and lively.

"Well, everyone is here."

Jiang Yu also followed Song Yuqing over and sat down. Looking at his old acquaintance Shen Hongyu standing beside him, Jiang Yu also greeted her with a smile. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need for such formalities.

"Here he comes."

Shen Hongyu spoke with a smile, and Jiang Yu nodded and looked at the other two guests, one was Wu Tao, and the other was a singer named Liu Huayu who he had never seen or was not familiar with.

Wu Tao saw Jiang Yu the moment he entered, but didn't say hello, instead flipping through the student information in his hand. Liu Huayu, on the other hand, nodded and greeted Jiang Yu. Since they were unfamiliar with each other and had just met, he wasn't particularly enthusiastic.

But now, with Jiang Yu's arrival, he seemed very familiar with Song Yuqing and Shen Hongyu, and the three of them unconsciously started discussing together. Wu Tao and Liu Huayu also seemed to have known each other before, so they could be considered a group.

"I looked at the profiles of these 100 trainees. Most of them are trainees from major companies, a small number are amateurs, and a small number are second-generation rich kids chasing their dreams."

"Many students, I think they are quite talented, some have even released their own songs abroad..."

Shen Hongyu was the first to analyze the students' situations. There were one hundred students, each with their own unique circumstances. The students would then choose the right mentor team based on their individual circumstances. Finally, the students under each mentor would compete against each other to determine the champion.

The winner will then receive top resources from Penguin Entertainment and be chosen by any major entertainment company. Winning the championship essentially means entering the entertainment industry. Furthermore, Penguin Entertainment will provide them with resources to cultivate and expose them in their careers.

Jiang Yu took a quick look and found that there were indeed some good-looking students, both male and female, with varying levels of strength.

Wu Tao also spoke up at this time: "I saw a few rappers here, all of whom have released their own songs, and some of them are very famous online celebrities."

When talking about rap and rappers, Wu Tao couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu, as if he was specifically referring to Jiang Yu.

“I have to snatch these rap students away from me when the time comes.”

"Teacher Jiang Yu won't snatch it from me, right?"

Wu Tao seemed to be asking Jiang Yu, but before Jiang Yu could answer, he asked and answered himself.

"That's right. Teacher Jiang Yu is not good at rap either. I've never seen Teacher Jiang Yu sing any rap songs. He definitely won't compete with me for these students."

Song Yuqing's face immediately turned unhappy when she heard Wu Tao's words. She could tell that this guy was just looking for trouble and targeting her brother. Her brother's short rap had previously put him and other rappers in the spotlight. They had also posted articles implying something about her brother, and now he was looking for trouble again.

Shen Hongyu also knew about this matter, and was aware that rappers like Wu Tao had some grievances against Jiang Yu due to the previous incident. However, she did not expect that Wu Tao would start to confront Jiang Yu so quickly after Jiang Yu arrived and the official recording of the show had not even started.

Jiang Yu just looked up at Wu Tao and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. If we meet a good rapper, we will definitely try to snatch him away."

"and……"

"Just because you don't have a rap song doesn't mean you don't understand rap. Isn't what Mr. Wu Tao said a bit too absolute?"

Wu Tao was not angry at all. He just stared at Jiang Yu and spoke with a smile.

"Oh? Really? Then I'm still looking forward to seeing Teacher Jiang Yu release a rap song. After all, the short rap segment that Teacher Jiang Yu performed before was praised so highly by his fans. I also want to see Teacher Jiang Yu release a complete rap work."

"There will be a chance for Teacher Wu Tao to see it for himself."

Liu Huayu glanced at the two of them. Nothing about these two people was a secret, but looking at the situation, it seemed like they were somewhat competitive.

Song Yuqing snorted. This Wu Tao is so annoying.

At this time, Director Hu had already pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in. Seeing several teachers sitting at the conference table looking at the students' information, he walked up and said with a smile.

"Teachers, after reading the students' information, what do you think?"

When Jiang Yu turned around, he saw his old acquaintance Director Hu. Director Hu looked at Jiang Yu with a smile and nodded at him.

Song Yuqing was the first to speak: "Not bad, these students have pretty good foundations, especially some trainees from major companies, who look pretty good based on their profiles."

"Um……"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before adding, "I just wonder if their performance will live up to our expectations."

Director Hu smiled and said, "Then it's time for you teachers to go inspect it. The students are already in the recording hall, ready. You teachers can also get ready and follow them. Our program recording will begin soon."

When everyone heard what Director Hu said, they nodded, and a staff member led Jiang Yu and the others to the recording hall.

At this moment, in the recording hall, one hundred trainees were ready, sitting on the steps at the back. One hundred people, a full house. There were both men and women. It must be said that in talent shows, regardless of gender, the appearance of the contestants is generally very high.

Some students have started to get nervous at this moment.

They moved in two weeks ago, under closed-door management, and during this time, they've been doing their daily training. Today is the official recording session, and everyone knows that if they can find success on this path, their future will be bright, with them becoming big stars and making tons of money.

But this is also very cruel. Looking at the companions around, everyone has basically become familiar with each other in the past half month. Each of them has good strength, and the competition for debut is still very fierce.

"Do you know who the mentors of our show are?"

"I don't know. The production team has kept it a secret and hasn't revealed anything. All my cell phones have been collected during this period. Apart from calling home from the dorm phone, I haven't had time to find out. I don't know what's going on outside."

"I heard that Penguin invested a lot of money, and the lineup of mentors and guests is very strong."

"I'm not sure, but we'll know soon. The recording is about to start and the mentors will be here soon."

……

The students are all a little curious about who their mentors are. After all, the mentors are related to their upcoming competitions. Choosing a good mentor will increase the probability of winning the championship and making their debut.

And at this moment, a picture appeared on the big screen and the voices of the program staff were heard.

"Next, let us invite our mentors to come on stage..."
