Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Hearing Susan say that, Tang Yu thought of her second English album.

Actually, many of the songs on this album were written beforehand because they needed to be released in time with the movie, since the love story with Harry hadn't been fully told yet.

Therefore, some songs were directly placed on the second album.

"So you've given me all this work?"

Hearing Tang Yu's complaints, Susan spoke up.

“Since you want to be a singer, of course you need to do a global tour to promote it. Didn’t you say from the beginning that acting is just a side job?”

Tang Yu smiled bitterly; it was indeed a pit she had dug herself.

Actors in Europe and America do focus on their lives when they're not acting, and their daily lives are less publicized.

But singers are different; they definitely need to participate in many live tours.

This is both a way to make money and a way to interact with fans; otherwise, how can the songs be promoted?

"Okay, this year we have to become top-tier singers."

Susan burst out laughing when Tang Yu made that teasing remark.

“I feel very hopeful. I loved those two songs you wrote for Harry Potter the first time I heard them.”

"Once the movie is released, these two songs will definitely become global hits. Shall we make a bet?"

Tang Yu immediately started complaining to her agent.

"Do I need to make a bet with you? I've put so much effort into these two songs, and even Warner Music is talking about revenue sharing. I don't even know how much potential they have."

Come on, let's toast to our booming careers this year!

In the first half of 2007, Tang Yu didn't do much except shoot commercials and magazines; she spent the rest of her time on global tours.

After holding multiple tours in the United States and the United Kingdom, she went to Australia and Singapore, and then held a concert in mainland China.

For the past six months, she has had almost no time to rest, so dating and romance have been entirely dependent on Robert taking the initiative to come to her.

Fortunately, Robert wasn't busy; he only made one movie and was quite free the rest of the time.

So Robert simply went on a world tour with his girlfriend.

“You know what? I admire your attitude. Even though I’m so busy that I can only spend a few hours with you each day, you still find joy in it.”

"What else can I do? If I complain, you'll just kick me out, right? I'm not going to give you that chance."

Upon hearing Robert's complaint, Tang Yu burst out laughing.

"No, I didn't go that far."

Robert gave a soft hum.

“I never underestimate your temper. You look like someone who can turn on you without a second thought, even though you’ve always been so warm and welcoming to me.”

The two bickered for a while, then burst into laughter together.

Robert likes to make outrageous statements, and Tang Yu always plays along.

The Harry Potter movie is scheduled for release in July, so the lead actors started giving promotional interviews as early as June.

Despite her busy schedule, Tang Yu took time out to participate in some interviews and promotional events with the main actors.

After all, her role in this movie is quite important; she's the male lead Harry's first love and first kiss, and the audience is really interested in their scenes together.

Therefore, in the days leading up to the film's release, Tang Yu and Robert were asked by the film's publicity team to keep a low profile and not to date in a high-profile manner.

Viewers must pay attention to Harry and Cho Chang's love story this month.

It arrived in July, just one week before the movie's release.

The film's promoters have finally released the song "Misty Kiss," which Tang Yu wrote more than two years ago.

This hazy and poignant ballad perfectly captures the anxieties, confusion, and entanglements of young lovers.

With Warner's global promotional campaign, the song climbed to the top of major music charts worldwide within a week of its release.

But at this time, the song had not yet become a hit.

After the movie was released, the song describing Cho Chang and Harry's love story instantly became a hit along with the movie's box office success.

Misty Kiss instantly climbed to the top of various charts.

However, this was just the beginning. The movie's end credits song, Brave You, was written by Tang Yu specifically for Harry, and the song, with lyrics co-written by Tang Yu and J.K. Rowling, quickly became a hit after the movie's release.

Both songs were included in Tang Yu's second English album.

So after its theatrical release, the album was also released globally.

From the very beginning, Tang Yu and the company had agreed on this timing, intending to take advantage of this favorable opportunity.

Of course, having taken advantage of this favorable opportunity, it's essential to discuss profit sharing.

Therefore, this album is also the one in which she gave up the most profits, but as long as the copyright is in her own hands, that's fine.

After Misty Kiss stepped down from the top of the charts, Brave You immediately topped all the major charts.

From July to September, Tang Yu dominated the charts for three months with two songs, successfully riding this wave to become a popular singer.

Next, the other songs on the album began to be promoted according to plan.

Then, Dior took a liking to one of the songs, Midnight Rose, whose name and style carried a dark and mysterious feel.

In addition, the music style is psychedelic rock, the lyrics are rebellious and youthful, and it has a wild and sensual feel to it, reflecting the pursuit of self by modern women.

So after Dior secured the global ambassadorship, they immediately used this song to have Tang Yu film several advertising campaigns.

Dior and several other big-name perfume ads are really beautiful.

Chapter 8 Tang Yu Hollywood 8

In October, Tang Yu spent a week shooting an advertisement, not because the advertisement was too long, but because there were too many filming locations.

In the quiet castle late at night, a girl dressed in a ladylike rose princess dress stands as the midnight bells ring.

She tore off her restrictive skirt, cut off her long hair, and ran out of the vast castle.

The deep, silent castle gradually receded into the distance, and the handsome and beautiful girl in the rose-red dress flipped over and mounted her white horse, then galloped forward at high speed.

After traversing the vast, yellow sands of the grassland, we arrived at a verdant meadow, then ran wildly across the endless beach, where the boundless sea gradually came into view…

Finally, the girl rode her horse to the cliff by the sea and then jumped off.

A beautiful, wild young girl's smile is radiant in mid-air, the image freezes there, and then the perfume's advertising slogan serves as the final finishing touch: Embrace Freedom, Lose Yourself in You.

Tang Yu also recorded the ending of the Chinese advertisement herself: "Encounter freedom, be intoxicated by you."

This is the most important advertisement. In addition, she also filmed many other advertising campaigns, short commercials, and behind-the-scenes footage.

Of course, interviews are also essential.

After the advertisement shoot, Dior, with its deep pockets, directly put her on the cover of Vogue's November issue in mainland China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.

So when the advertisement went live in November, Tang Yu, in coordination with the advertising campaign, had already cut her hair to collarbone length; she had really cut her hair.

At the end of the advertisement, the freeze-frame shot shows her real hairstyle.

This meticulously filmed advertisement, after being promoted and launched globally by Dior, not only garnered a huge number of views on YouTube, but also sparked intense discussions on television stations in various countries.

This advertisement was so beautifully shot, and its creativity inspired countless people.

In just one month, sales of the toxic perfume series suddenly doubled.

Everyone was captivated by the scene: the girl's radiant and passionate smile as she leaped into the air revealed her fearless exploration of the world and her fervent pursuit of freedom.

A good advertisement has a huge appeal.

In addition, the song Midnight Rose is very wild, mysterious and unrestrained.

Due to a combination of factors, Tang Yu not only succeeded in selling products, but her songs and she herself also became famous.

This kind of popularity doesn't mean that people have become aware of her, but rather that she has brought a breakthrough in people's impressions.

Tang Yu did indeed become famous because of the Harry Potter movies, and she was particularly beautiful in the movies.

However, the Harry Potter movie makeup photos did not shape people in a fashionable direction, so although they were beautiful, they just gave off a schoolgirl vibe.

However, after this series of advertising campaigns was filmed, audiences around the world suddenly realized that Tang Yu, who played Qiu Zhang, really had a face that fit global aesthetic standards.

Although the fans who attended the concert had already seen many of Tang Yu's looks.

But for the vast majority of viewers, this was indeed the first time they had seen Tang Yu's fashion sense.

After seeing Midnight Rose climb to the top of the charts in December, Tang Yu smiled at her manager.

"I can assign topics for writing. Let's talk about endorsements for big brands in the future. I'll write songs for them, and they'll shoot commercials for me."

Then we can include the song in the album, killing two birds with one stone!

Backed by the promotional resources of a major brand, it really saves a lot of money.

Susan burst out laughing.

“You do have a few options now. Although it’s not about collaborating with big brands, if you can prove your songwriting ability, they will be begging you to collaborate in the future.”

Tang Yu asked with interest.

"Has someone finally discovered my talent in this area?"

"The Forbidden Kingdom is in talks with me about a collaboration, wanting you to write a song for the movie. They're also exploring the possibility with the Red Cliff movie. I think both of these movies are pretty good. See if you have any inspiration."

"In addition, I want you to take a new job and sing in Las Vegas for six months."

Our album is selling very well globally right now, so let's work harder on promotion in the US and aim to break ten million copies!

Tang Yu was somewhat surprised when she heard this and spoke up.

"The sales figures are already out? So the new album is temporarily postponed?"

"It's just an estimate, but there should be hope."

Your English album did very well in mainland China, so we'll release a new album first, since the other songs haven't been promoted yet.

That's true; every song on this album is meticulously crafted.
