How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 269 May Fourth Evening Party
Jiang Yu and Director Chen seemed to be having a very happy chat. The box office and reputation of the movie were both very good, and they felt proud of it.

Especially Jiang Yu, Director Chen and Teacher Wang Qiang were all very optimistic about Jiang Yu. During the meal, they kept praising Jiang Yu.

"Xiao Jiang, your talent and ability are truly beyond words. You will definitely win awards in the film and television industry. You have good acting skills and screenwriting abilities. I dare say that you will definitely achieve great things in the film and television industry."

Not only Director Chen thinks so, but Teacher Wang Qiang and others also think so.

Jiang Yu's acting skills are very mature and he is definitely ahead of his peers. They even think that he can rival those veteran actors. Moreover, Jiang Yu's writing ability and ability to control the scene and direct the play are also very good. He is considered an all-round talent in the crew.

Moreover, when Director Chen was chatting with Jiang Yu before, he heard Jiang Yu say that the focus of his future work should be on film and television.

After all, Jiang Yu had already reached the pinnacle of music, and since he had started his own company, he needed to expand into other areas of business. The film and television industry was an industry that many talent agencies were keen to enter, as it offered a large opportunity and offered high returns.

Given Jiang Yu's talent and ability, Director Chen felt that if he continued filming, he would likely win Best Actor. He would also definitely win awards as a director or screenwriter, and his achievements would undoubtedly be significant.

This is the consensus between Director Chen and Teacher Wang Qiang.

Jiang Yu smiled, and at this time Director Chen asked him with a smile again.

"I saw you working on an anime earlier. How's that going? Is it going to be online?"

Having already witnessed Jiang Yu's screenwriting abilities, Director Chen was also somewhat curious about Jiang Yu's original Chinese comics. Although major directors like them generally avoid the animation industry, there's a hierarchy of disdain within the film and television industry. At the top is the film industry, followed by television dramas. Anime, for example, is generally considered low-brow.

While Director Chen himself doesn't share this view, he's actually quite optimistic about the domestic animation industry. This is especially true with the entry of Jiang Yu and Penguin, as well as the recent influx of major investors in the animation industry. As many know, the domestic animation industry is expected to be very popular. Even if it's not as popular now, it's expected to be strong in the future.

Otherwise, it would not have attracted big capital like Penguin to join in.

"Well, it's almost done. If everything goes well, it should be online during the summer vacation. Teachers can go check it out and help promote and support it then."

Jiang Yu smiled and greeted Director Chen and the teachers at the table. They were all old acquaintances, and when his animation was released, they would definitely help promote it.

"That's easy, just send a few more red envelopes in the group, or send it to me privately. You can send me any promotional copy you want."

Teacher Wang Qiang was joking with a smile, and everyone started to speak up. Everyone in the crew got along very happily.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, you're going to CCTV the day after tomorrow to attend the May Fourth Gala, right?"

Suddenly Director Chen seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Yu and asked.

The May Fourth Youth Day is coming soon. As a very meaningful festival in China, it has been given more and more attention in recent years. Like the National Day Gala, there will be a gala program every year.

Given Jiang Yu's relationship with CCTV, he would definitely not miss such an important evening party.

"Well, I'll fly to Beijing tomorrow night, attend the afternoon rehearsal, and go live in the evening."

In April, CCTV contacted Jiang Yu and he agreed. Jiang Yu would definitely not refuse such a special holiday party.

He's been on a roadshow with the crew these past few days to promote the film. After tomorrow's trip, he'll fly directly to Beijing that evening. He'll go down for a rehearsal on the 4th and then go live that evening.

Like other artists, they basically spent the May Day holiday rehearsing. For such a large-scale gala with such special significance, rehearsals are quite busy and rigorous. Plus, since it's a live broadcast, there's no room for error.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, was highly valued by the higher-ups because of his close ties with CCTV. They knew Jiang Yu was busy, and since he'd been there several times before, he was familiar with CCTV's procedures. They simply needed to schedule Jiang Yu's performance and have him attend a rehearsal near the time to confirm the process, just in case.

"Are you going to bring new songs again, kid?"

When Wang Qiang and the others heard Jiang Yu was going to the May Fourth Gala, they looked at him curiously. Given Jiang Yu's personality, he was sure to have new songs for this kind of party. Jiang Yu had recently written new albums for four artists from his company, Yang Zihan and Lin Feifei. While the songs were all high-quality, these new artists also performed them well, and they were indeed beautiful to listen to.

But Teacher Wang Qiang feels that the songs written and sung by Jiang Yu himself have more feeling.

Even though Jiang Yu wrote the lyrics and music, Wang Qiang always felt something was missing when others sang it. He personally enjoyed listening to Jiang Yu's songs, but he knew he was busy and hadn't released many new songs. This May Fourth Gala, he should be able to hear some new songs from him.

After hearing what Teacher Wang Qiang said, everyone at the table looked at Jiang Yu curiously, their faces full of anticipation.

"Yeah, Xiao Jiang, you haven't released a new song in a while. My daughter is still in junior high school and she loves listening to your songs. She even asked me a while ago why I didn't urge you to release new songs when we were filming together, haha."

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Yu also replied with a smile.

"Yes, it's a new song, but I'll keep it a secret for now, haha. Brother Liu, you can tell your daughter about it when you get home. You can look forward to the new song."

Jiang Yu said mysteriously, "My song is suitable for students of their age."

When everyone heard Jiang Yu's words, they looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Is it suitable for junior high school students?
Could it be a song full of positive energy, like Jiang Yu’s previous song “Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart”?

Everyone knows that on CCTV, especially on special evening shows like the May Fourth Gala, the songs to be performed must undergo strict review.

When Jiang Yu said that the song was suitable for middle school students, everyone thought that it might be a song that fits the theme of the festival.

Just like the songs Jiang Yu sang during the Spring Festival Gala and the National Day Gala.

But Jiang Yu had no intention of revealing what song it was, calling it confidentiality so that people would be excited.

……

The next day, Jiang Yu finished the roadshow with Director Chen and the others, and went to the airport to catch a flight to Beijing to prepare to participate in the rehearsal of the May Fourth Gala.

Today is the 3rd, and tomorrow is the May 4th Youth Day. Jiang Yu has never participated in rehearsals before. This is his first and last rehearsal.

Today, CCTV has already released the program list for tomorrow night's May Fourth Gala online. As usual, programs featuring Jiang Yu will have the words "New Song" written on them. CCTV has copied the bad habits of local TV stations, knowing Jiang Yu's popularity and buzz, and they use this method to build suspense whenever he appears on a show.

When everyone saw the program list released by CCTV and saw Jiang Yu among the many guests, no one was surprised. Basically, now, whenever CCTV has an event or gala, Jiang Yu is invited. Even this morning, CCTV reviewed and praised the film "Detective Chinatown," praising Jiang Yu's acting and screenwriting skills.

There have been many such cases before. Now, everyone can see that Jiang Yu is very favored at CCTV.

Many artists in the industry are saying that Jiang Yu is now like CCTV's own son. No matter what kind of evening party or event, Jiang Yu can basically be seen. Even if there is any movement from Jiang Yu, CCTV will basically release a news report immediately.

This treatment is really envied by everyone in the circle. At this moment, many netizens saw that Jiang Yu was also on the list, but what kind of program he was going to perform was not announced by CCTV, so everyone was a little curious.

It seemed like Jiang Yu hadn't released many new songs this year. He'd been writing for others, neglecting his own work.

"No way? What's Jiang Yu's new song?"

"Ahhh! It's been so long, Jiang Yu is finally going to have a new song. Before, he only wrote new songs for others and never released any of his own. Now he's finally going to release a new song himself."

"Yeah, he used to write new songs and albums for his company's artists, Yang Zihan and others. He hasn't released any new songs in a long time, several months, so he finally has his chance."

"Hahaha, now everyone is treating Jiang Yu as a pawn. Every time Jiang Yu has a party to perform, the program is always a mystery."

"But I have to say, I'm really looking forward to Jiang Yu's new song. It's been several months, and finally there's a new song coming."

"Haha, me too. Even though he wrote a lot of new songs for Yang Zihan and the others, I still like to hear Jiang Yu sing his own songs. It feels better that way."

……

As soon as the program list was released, Jiang Yu became a hot topic.

"Jiang Yu's new song!"

"Jiang Yu May Fourth Party!"

"Jiang Yu is finally going to release a new song!"

……

Jiang Yu is already very popular in the music industry. Especially since he was busy filming a TV series recently, he hasn't released any new songs for several months, and many fans are getting impatient.

Now Jiang Yu has finally released a new song. These fans, even casual fans, are beginning to look forward to the new song that Jiang Yu will perform at the May Fourth Gala tomorrow night.

As for Lin Qianqian, she was curled up on the sofa. The weather in May was already quite hot, so she just wore shorts and loose short-sleeved shirts at home. Sometimes when the weather was cooler, she would add a coat.

At this moment, a pair of beautiful legs were crossed together. Perhaps because they kept the same posture for too long, the thighs were squeezed to a red color. The white and tender feet were gently stepping on the sofa.

When Lin Qianqian saw the hot search, she was also stunned, and then her eyes became ecstatic.

“Finally, a new song is coming out!”

During this time, Lin Qianqian was also waiting for Jiang Yu to release a new song, but after waiting for several months, there was no news of any new songs. In the meantime, Jiang Yu wrote new albums for his company's artists, and there was no news of his own new songs at all.

Now we finally have the chance to see Jiang Yu release a new song.

"May Fourth Gala..."

Looking at the list of people Jiang Yu would be performing at the May Fourth Gala tomorrow night, Lin Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly.

For such a special festival and such an important evening party, she felt that the new song Jiang Yu would bring would probably be one that was more in line with the theme of the festival.

However, Jiang Yu has written songs of this type before, such as "As Wish" which he wrote for Su Muwan during last year's National Day Gala, and "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" which he performed during the Spring Festival Gala. Both of them are songs that fit the theme very well.

The songs written by Jiang Yu, even the main melody songs, are very pop music. Lin Qianqian is not very worried about this. Instead, she is looking forward to it more and more.

A song that fits the May Fourth Gala...

I really want to see what kind of new songs Jiang Yu will bring.

……

In the evening, in Beijing, at the CCTV May Fourth Gala.

At this moment, the scene is ready. Everyone is prepared, including the guests and the audience. Everything is ready. The director is contacting various departments to do the final inspection before the live broadcast begins.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was looking at Yang Xue, Su Muwan and Song Yuqing who were sitting together and chatting happily, and he smiled with satisfaction.

Well, this is what a family is like.

Ever since they played games together, the relationship between the three women seemed to have become unusual. There was even one time when Jiang Yu and Yu Qing finished their workout and were hugging her to sleep, he accidentally saw Yu Qing's phone and saw a small group of the three women.

These three people, carrying their own small groups, are all pulled well.

But this is also a good sign.

The three girls are on good terms now. How long will it take for them to move into a big house and live a carefree life together?

It must be not far away.

The other artists nearby also saw this scene.

When they saw Su Muwan, Yang Xue, and Song Yuqing chatting so happily, even leaving Jiang Yu aside, they all felt a little unbelievable.

When did the three of them become so close?
Everyone subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yu. Everyone knew the relationship between this guy and the three women. Some guests had seen the three women sitting together on the Spring Festival Gala before, and they didn't say a word.

But today, why is it different?
They looked at Jiang Yu, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and their eyes suddenly became somewhat sympathetic.

Women, and three women who are rivals in love, can chat so well all of a sudden. There is only one answer.

That is the man they loved, who was abandoned by them.

Well, that's definitely the case.

Looking at Jiang Yu, there was no longer envy in their eyes. This guy was finally abandoned.
