How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 310 Tossing around

Su Muwan and the others came to visit today, but Jiang Yu didn't have anything to do.

Except for the moment when Su Muwan and Yang Xue had some arguments with Yang Zihan and the others during the meal, everything else was fine.

Jiang Yu was particularly aware of Su Muwan and the others' attitude towards Yang Zihan and the others. He had even seen some signs of this when Yang Zihan and the others were still participating in the program "Star of Tomorrow" and Su Muwan and the others were guests.

Later, when he wanted to sign Yang Zihan and others, Su Muwan and others were quite opposed.

Just today, the two sides came to visit the set and bumped into each other. There has been a lot of tension since they were on the crew.

This made Jiang Yu feel even more strongly that his relationship with Yang Zihan had to be kept secret, at least not from Su Muwan and the others at this stage. Otherwise, with their temperaments, who knows what kind of a fuss they'd make.

During this time, Jiang Yu was busy filming on the set. In the evenings, he would discuss the script with Yang Zihan in depth, and his days were very comfortable. At the beginning, Yang Zihan was still quite shy. But no matter what Jiang Yu said, she would shyly agree and try to do it to please Jiang Yu.

Yang Zihan was also very sensible and did not ask Jiang Yu too much about their current relationship. She was afraid that if she asked too much, Teacher Jiang Yu would get angry and she would lose Teacher Jiang Yu.

She knew that Teacher Jiang Yu was very good, and that she was not the only one around him. There were many women who were better than her. Yang Zihan was a girl who knew how to be content. Even if she knew about this, if she told her family, they would object and even think she was a shameless woman.

But she just likes Teacher Jiang Yu and wants to be with him, even if it's just to be by his side.

She herself did not ask for too much. As long as she could have a small place in Teacher Jiang Yu's heart, just a small place would be enough.

At the same time, she was also selfish, and she didn't want to give up the few positions that were already available to Teacher Jiang Yu. Yang Zihan also chose to hide it from her good sisters Lin Feifei and the others.

Yang Zihan feels that this period is the happiest time of her life. She can film with Jiang Yu during the day and spend the night together.

At this moment, Yang Zihan felt that she was Jiang Yu's girlfriend, and they were like a couple. Yang Zihan began to enjoy this kind of life. Even though she was very tired from filming every day, she was happy with it.

Even Yang Zihan was praying that the film would not be finished so quickly, only in this way could she have more time alone with Teacher Jiang Yu.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu's drama "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" had already passed review. Jiang Yu was already finalizing the release date, and after consulting with Penguin Video, they decided on October 8th, after the National Day holiday.

As for why the film wasn't scheduled directly for the National Day holiday, Jiang Yu and Penguin Video's CEO Yang had discussed the matter. The National Day holiday was a rare one, and it was peak travel time. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the holiday to go out and have fun, leaving less time for watching TV.

In order to achieve good results for the TV series "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and to have more time for promotion and pre-launch, it was finally decided to go online on October 8th.

However, although the release date has been confirmed, Jiang Yu and Penguin Video have not yet announced the news.

It's only mid-September now, and it wouldn't be a good idea to announce the preheating too early. They plan to announce the news during the Mid-Autumn Festival in late September.

……

And at this moment, on Chu Shaoyang's side.

He was looking at the documents in his hands, handling some company matters, and listening to his secretary's work report.

"Boss Chu, Legend of the Great Wilderness has already agreed with iQiyi Video on the release date. It will be on October 8th, after the National Day holiday."

After hearing the secretary's report, Chu Shaoyang finished processing the document in his hand, looked up at the secretary and asked a question.

"Is there any movement from Jiang Yu's side?"

The secretary shook his head: "No, I heard that he has been filming his movie recently."

Chu Shaoyang was also stunned when he heard this.

filming?
This guy has only been an actor for a short time, and he's already switching careers to become a director?

"Movie? What movie?"

Chu Shaoyang's recent thoughts have been on the big-budget TV series "The Legend of the Great Wilderness" invested by Warner this year. As for Jiang Yu, apart from keeping an eye on Jiang Yu's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", Chu Shaoyang didn't care about anything else.

"I'm not sure about this one, it seems to be a modern movie."

Modern movies, youth idol dramas?

Chu Shaoyang could think of only this type of film as a suitable subject for a new director. It was easy to get started with, required minimal investment, and offered a lucrative return. For example, Director Jiang's first film after his transition to acting was "Missed You," which performed quite well, with Jiang Yu even singing two songs for the film.

"Heh, this guy is so eager to switch careers and become a director. He's only been an actor for a short time, and he's already going to be a director. He really thinks the film industry is so easy to make money."

To put it bluntly, Jiang Yu, a cross-industry artist, became a director basically to make money. However, in the entire industry, there are so many directors, but how many of them can produce successful films?

However, Chu Shaoyang's mind is not on Jiang Yu's movie now, but on Jiang Yu's TV series "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". This is what he cares about most now.

When Chu Shaoyang first found out that Jiang Yu was the original author and had not yet obtained the copyright, he kept a close eye on him.

Knowing that Jiang Yu's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was on a similar schedule as theirs, Chu Shaoyang felt that it was likely that their film had already passed the review, perhaps next month, or even collided with theirs. Although there was no news about the release date for Jiang Yu's film, Chu Shaoyang felt that it was likely that their film had already passed the review, and that it would be released next month.

"Okay, keep an eye on Jiang Yu and the others. If their TV series The Lost Tomb is set for a release date, let me know immediately. As for the release date for Legend of the Great Desolate, after the 20th, you can find a time to confirm the official announcement with Taoyuan Studio."

The secretary nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Chu."

Only after the secretary left the office did Chu Shaoyang pick up his phone and prepare to check the trending searches to see if there was any movement on Jiang Yu's Weibo.

"Haha, Jiang Yu, I'm actually hoping that your Tomb Raiders Notes will run into me."

Chu Shaoyang had previously accepted his loss to Jiang Yu in the film competition. However, he had always felt that film wasn't Warner's forte at the time, so losing to Jiang Yu was acceptable. However, in the field of television dramas, Warner was undeniably the top dog in China. They invested in, created, and even produced numerous TV series, and nearly every year, the most successful ones were from Warner.

It can be said that in the field of TV dramas, Chu Shaoyang himself is still very confident that he can defeat Jiang Yu.

No matter how popular Jiang Yu's original novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is, he's not afraid. The novel "The Legend of the Great Wilderness" they've acquired has been a classic for many years, and in some ways, it's even better than Jiang Yu's new "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," as the original novel has a much larger fan base.

Now Chu Shaoyang is waiting, even expecting that Jiang Yu’s "Grave Robbers’ Chronicles" will collide with them, so that he can take advantage of this opportunity to avenge his previous shame!
When Chu Shaoyang opened Weibo, before he even looked at Jiang Yu's Weibo, he saw a hot search related to Jiang Yu.

"Jiang Yu's new movie Reuters!"

"It's rumored online that Jiang Yu's first directorial film has begun filming at Zhonghai No. 1 Middle School!"

"Jiang Yu's new movie Reuters!"

"Yang Zihan, the heroine of Jiang Yu's new movie!"

……

When Chu Shaoyang saw the hot search, he was slightly stunned, and then he smiled.

Just now, the secretary was talking to me about Jiang Yu’s new movie, and now it has become a hot topic due to Reuters.

But it's normal. Basically, when many movies and TV series start shooting in the circle, there will always be leaks seen by the public.

Chu Shaoyang was also a little curious about Jiang Yu's movie. This movie, which he directed and acted in himself, was considered Jiang Yu's debut work. What was it like?
Seeing those Reuters photos, Jiang Yu and his friends were filming in their school uniforms. It turned out to be a modern film, just as he had told his secretary. From the looks of it, it was also a youth campus idol film.

"Is this because your movie, which I missed before, has become popular? Is Jiang Yu planning to follow suit and make another one?"

Chu Shaoyang thought this was quite possible. After all, this type of film was easy to get started with, and Jiang Yu was very good at writing music for this type of film. Just like the film "Missed You," Director Jiang's first film after transitioning from TV dramas, achieved such great success, and Jiang Yu's theme song, "Those Years," played a big role.

Chu Shaoyang thought Jiang Yu had chosen to film this type of film, hoping to replicate the success of Director Jiang's film. He could write a theme song and use it to promote the film. Even if the film didn't achieve the same level of success, it would still be possible to make some money.

Thinking of this, Chu Shaoyang also laughed. This guy has also started to make money.

Although this approach is not bad, if the quality of the film directed by Jiang Yu is not good, then no matter how good the song he writes, it will be useless. Director Jiang's previous film was also of good quality, and with Jiang Yu's theme song, it had an unexpected effect.

But if the quality of the song itself is not good, then it will be in vain no matter how good the song is.

Chu Shaoyang browsed the comment section and saw that many netizens were looking forward to Jiang Yu's first movie, which made him sneer.

"Wow! Jiang Yu directed and starred in his own movie. He's only been an actor for a short time, and now he's switching careers to become a director?"

"Indeed, I never expected Jiang Yu to change careers so quickly, from a singer and musician to an actor, and now a director. He seems to want to experience all the professional identities in the entertainment industry."

"Does Jiang Yu have the ability? Can he be a director? I agree that acting requires scriptwriting skills, but he hasn't even filmed a few movies yet, and he wants to be a director. Does he understand?"

"That's not certain. Director Chen once said Jiang Yu has a natural talent for directing. He was also a newcomer when he wrote scripts and made animations, but his results were amazing. Maybe this movie will be good too."

"Wow! The female lead is Yang Zihan, the champion of Tomorrow's Star and one of Jiang Yu's own artists. It's obvious that Jiang Yu really supports his own artists."

"Yang Zihan is very popular right now. She and Lin Feifei and the others were signed to Jiang Yu's company at the time, and they're all doing very well in the entertainment industry now. Jiang Yu specially produced new albums for each of them and supported them with all kinds of resources. Now they're second- and third-tier stars. And they've only been in the industry for less than a year, and their rise is incredible. You're really lucky to have a boss like Jiang Yu who's willing to support you."

……

Chu Shaoyang took a look at the comments and found them boring. Just when he was about to quit Weibo, he suddenly saw a post from Jiang Yu's company.

"Thank you for your attention. My boss's new fantasy movie, Secret, is currently filming and is expected to be released by the end of the year. Please keep an eye on it."

Upon seeing this post, Chu Shaoyang understood that this was an attempt to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the leaks to hype up Jiang Yu's new film, giving everyone a sneak peek at the film and facilitating future promotion. He even suspected that some of the leaks might have been leaked by their own people. This kind of thing was common among many production companies and studios in the industry, releasing leaks to whet the appetite, attract attention, and increase discussion and buzz around the work. Warner Bros. also frequently did this.

but……

When Chu Shaoyang saw that Jiang Yu's company mentioned the type of film Jiang Yu was filming, they said it was a fantasy film, not a traditional youth idol campus film as they had previously guessed.

But this Reuters photo was taken at school, and it looks like Jiang Yu and Yang Zihan are a couple.

Is it a fantasy romance movie?
Thinking of this, Chu Shaoyang suddenly laughed, and laughed with disdain.

"This guy doesn't want to make the most stable youth campus movies, but instead makes this kind of fantasy and unpopular theme movie. He is really a newcomer and has no idea how deep the water in the film industry is."

This type of movie is so unpopular that there are no such movies on the market in recent years.

It's simple: there's just too few people who watch these kinds of films, and they've failed miserably. A few years ago, there were still directors making these kinds of fantasy films, but after losing money and realizing there's no market for them, and no audiences willing to pay for them, these kinds of films have completely disappeared in the past two years. No one wants to make them, to be the one being taken advantage of.

As a result, Jiang Yu is now shooting a fantasy movie. Isn't this seeking death?

"Haha, you're asking for trouble. It's a waste of time."

Chu Shaoyang also laughed. In his opinion, Jiang Yu was courting death by making this kind of movie.

It's his debut film, his first movie, so he will definitely be disappointed when he sees it.
