How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 239 Sister Yuqing's Little Scheme
Jiang Yu has already confirmed the start date with Penguin, and filming will begin after the Lantern Festival.

After all, it is still the Spring Festival holiday, and everyone wants to rest for a while, and Jiang Yu also thinks it will be better to shoot after that.

This time, collaborating with Penguin to develop the copyright for his own "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is his first step towards capital and the poker table. As long as the IP adaptation of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is successful, then his idea of ​​building his own IP ecosystem can be realized. This is a test and trial.

He has a wealth of IP resources and now runs his own company, expanding step by step with his music as the foundation. Jiang Yu is definitely not satisfied with just being an artist or a wealthy man. What he wants is to be able to sit at the table and make the rules, rather than being the one who is bound by them.

Jiang Yu attached great importance to the adaptation of the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" IP and personally handled every aspect of it. When Penguin began preparations, he was also personally involved in the selection of actors and directors.

Now everything is ready, we are just waiting to start filming after the Lantern Festival.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yu flew back to Zhonghai. As for Su Muwan and Yang Xue, they had told Jiang Yu in the morning that they would be going home for a few days. After all, it was Chinese New Year, and they hadn't been able to have New Year's Eve dinner with their family because they were attending the Spring Festival Gala. They would definitely take a few days off to spend time with their families.

Regarding what happened last night, whether it was Su Muwan and Yang Xue, or Song Yuqing and Chu Jingya, they all seemed to have coincidentally not mentioned it, as if it had never happened.

At this moment, Jiang Yu suddenly had an illusion. If he had done something last night, nothing would have happened?

Did you miss something?
But the next moment, when he saw Su Muwan's message, he immediately rejected this idea.

Su Muwan: "I originally wanted to spend a few days with you during the Spring Festival, but judging from what happened last night, some people don't lack company, right?"

Seeing Su Muwan suddenly said this while chatting, Jiang Yu knew in his heart that it was not that she did not mention what happened last night, but that she had always remembered it in her heart.

Even through the screen and the phone, Jiang Yu seemed to be able to imagine Su Muwan's cold and resentful face.

"Ahem... well, wasn't last night a coincidence? We're all friends, just friends. It's normal to have a New Year's Eve dinner together."

Jiang Yu silently added in his heart, a friend, a friend with whom you can have in-depth communication. A baby, a good sister, a dear, a girlfriend.

Su Muwan has already landed and is at home, not at her home in Zhonghai, but in her hometown to celebrate the New Year.

She sat in her room, her phone in hand, while her relatives chatted outside. She didn't really like interacting with the elders, so after returning, she greeted them, had lunch, and then stayed in her room, not going out much.

Looking at Jiang Yu's reply at this moment, Su Muwan curled her lips and snorted coldly.

This bastard, friend?

Haha, he thinks he will believe this nonsense?

Not to mention Yang Xue, that little devil Song Yuqing, who kept calling Jiang Yu "brother" and picking up food for him, obviously had ulterior motives. She just didn't believe that Jiang Yu wouldn't know.

asshole!

After cursing inwardly, Su Muwan was too lazy to reply to the message. She turned off her phone and lay on the bed listening to music.

……

Hangzhou, the training base for "Stars of Tomorrow".

The recording of the sixth semi-final will begin at 7 o'clock tonight. Although it is during the Chinese New Year, the popularity of this program has remained high since it was broadcast. Even at the semi-final venue today, the audience seats were full.

This talent show is now more than halfway through, and the semi-finals are even more brutal than before. After this episode, there are only 35 students left, which is about to be halved.

Of all the mentor teams, Wu Tao's group eliminated the most students. Jiang Yu's group eliminated the fewest. While many of Jiang Yu's group were amateurs, without agencies or trainees, they were all very talented, and the group with the most original creations was the largest among the five groups.

At this moment, Jiang Yu and the other five mentors were sitting in the mentor seats, watching the duel between two groups of students randomly selected on the stage, and everyone was silently making evaluations in their hearts.

Wu Tao was feeling anxious. This round had a high number of eliminations, and only thirty-five students would remain. His group, which had originally consisted of twenty students, was now down to ten in the semifinals, the highest elimination rate of the five groups.

If something unexpected happened to his group this time, his students would be eliminated. If all the students were eliminated before the semi-finals, he, as a mentor, would definitely be compared with mentors like Jiang Yu, and he would definitely be criticized and his ability would be questioned.

Especially when he saw that there were so many students in Jiang Yu's group and the least number of students were eliminated, Wu Tao felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, in the audience seats at the back, many of the audience members were showing their favorite students with light sticks and banners to show their support. As the program aired, the students' fame spread. Among them, the most popular ones, with the highest increase in Weibo followers, were Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan.

There is no way, she is so beautiful that she attracts both men and women.

"It's the semi-finals. I'm afraid a lot of people will be eliminated this time."

"I heard that only 35 students will be able to stay in the end. More than half of them will be eliminated in the semi-finals."

"I noticed that Wu Tao's group had the most students eliminated, and currently his group has the fewest students. I always feel that he's not very capable and doesn't have the talent to be a mentor."

"I feel the same way. Too many students were eliminated from his group. Compared with students from other mentor groups, the elimination rate is too high."

……

As the semi-finals recording progressed, Jiang Yu's group gradually took the stage. As soon as Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan came on stage, the audience immediately went wild, especially the male audience, who kept calling them goddesses and wives.

Jiang Yu and Shen Hongyu looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Hongyu whispered, "These two students in Teacher Jiang Yu's group are very popular."

"I can see that. I saw that both of them have over one million followers on Weibo. They have good looks and solid basic skills. They are both beautiful and capable. They are very good seedlings." Shen Hongyu also nodded, agreeing with Jiang Yu's statement.

If you want to enter the entertainment industry, you have to have good looks. Obviously, Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei definitely have such looks. The key is that these two people also have solid basic skills and are not so-called vases.

Now that the program has been on the air for such a long time, many talented, good-looking and potential amateur students have been contacted by many agencies.

Shen Hongyu asked Jiang Yu in a low voice.

"Teacher Jiang Yu, do you have any students you like and are ready to sign?"

During their previous chat, Shen Hongyu learned from Jiang Yu that he also wanted to use this program to bring some fresh blood into his company. Otherwise, Jiang Yu's company would only have him as the artist, and he would be both the boss and the employee. Running a company by himself would be quite busy and tiring.

When Song Yuqing heard Shen Hongyu's question, she leaned slightly closer to Jiang Yu, her ears perked up. Although her eyes were fixed on the students' performances on the stage, her attention was on Jiang Yu.

The little girl was particularly wary of the female students in her brother's group, especially Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan, two beautiful and popular students.

Jiang Yu nodded and replied.

"I have plans for this. They're not signed to any agency yet. I heard some agencies have contacted them, but they haven't agreed. I don't know what they're thinking. Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan come from well-off families, so they probably don't need money. Maybe they're just interested in coming here. I'll ask them after the semi-finals."

Jiang Yu had always had this idea in mind, even from the moment he first started participating in this talent show. He had been planning to select some promising new talent from the show and sign them to his company. That way, his company would have new talent—no, new employees, really. By nurturing these new talent, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

Back then, the artists in the company worked for me and I could just sit back and count the money. It was nothing like now, where I, as the boss, have to work hard and run around for announcements to support the company.

For example, among the students in his current group, Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan and Jiang Yu are considering signing them. Given their current popularity on the show, with a little training, they can definitely become big stars in their own right.

"And I think, besides these two, Zhao Ying and Huang Chen are both pretty good. Although Zhao Ying and Huang Chen aren't as popular as Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan, I think they have great potential. One has a great voice, and the other has good originality. They're both excellent prospects."

Shen Hongyu nodded. Although Jiang Yu's group consisted of many amateur students, they were indeed very strong. The students Jiang Yu mentioned were all highly ranked and very capable.

When Song Yuqing heard that her brother was really planning to sign Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan, her heart skipped a beat. The look Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei had given her brother at the training camp flashed through her mind. As a woman, she was quite sensitive to that look. While she might not have had those feelings, the admiration in their eyes was undisguised.

The most important thing is that these two people are so beautiful, and this is what Song Yuqing is most worried about.

"Brother, I actually think that if Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan don't want to sign with a company, there's no need to force them to. You also said that there were agencies that contacted them, but they all refused. Maybe they came to this show just for fun, just to join in the fun. Their families are well-off, and they don't want to be stars."

The little girl leaned closer to Jiang Yu and whispered, "If you really want to sign new artists, I think Huang and Chen are good. If they are trained well, they will definitely become excellent singers."

When Shen Hongyu heard what Song Yuqing said, she probably understood what her sister was thinking. She held back her laughter and did not expose her. She just looked at Jiang Yu silently without saying anything.

Jiang Yu also turned his head to meet the sincere and clear eyes of his sister Yuqing. There was an innocent smile on her sweet face, as if she was really thinking seriously about her brother.

Jiang Yu just stared at his sister Yuqing, as if he wanted to see something from her eyes, but his sister Yuqing just kept smiling and blinking.

Well, Jiang Yu felt that his sweet, lovely and innocent sister Yuqing definitely had no other thoughts and was really thinking about him.

Well, maybe there were some other thoughts, but Jiang Yu couldn't bear to expose it when he saw the clear eyes of sister Yuqing.

"Well, let's watch the show first, and then we'll talk about it."

Sister Yuqing smiled sweetly: "Well, I'll listen to my brother."

Wu Tao, who was standing by, felt a little envious and jealous when he saw this. How come this guy is so popular with women?

At this moment, on the stage, Huang Chen's performance had just ended, and it was time for the mentors to comment.

This semi-final was broadcast live, and a lot of viewers flocked into the live broadcast room from the beginning.

"I feel that the songs written by Huang Chen are quite nice, full of life and visuals."

"Indeed, his songs are simple and unpretentious. In his songs, I can hear the breath of life, the daily necessities of life. They are not like the distant and unattainable things described in other singers' songs."

"I actually think Huang Chen is quite cute, haha, such a shy guy, but sometimes he talks so funny and has a lot of jokes."

"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too. Although he has talent and his looks are a bit average, I don't think his looks are that important when he's a singer."

"Here we are! It's time for the mentor evaluation session. I really want to see what the mentors think of Huang Chen this time."

……

Shen Hongyu was the first to comment. She was very impressed with Huang Chen's performance, songs, and talent, so she voted for Huang Chen. The same was true for Song Yuqing, who also thought that if she voted for Huang Chen, her brother might not sign Lin Feifei and Yang Zihan when he saw how talented and outstanding Huang Chen was.

Sister Yuqing suddenly felt that she was very smart.

Jiang Yu didn't know what his sister Yuqing was thinking. At this moment, the camera was pointed at Wu Tao, and Jiang Yu also looked over. He had a hunch that this guy probably wouldn't say anything good.

The next moment, Wu Tao picked up the microphone and spoke in an embarrassed manner.

"Hmm... How should I put it? Huang Chen, your music has never passed my test..."
