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

If all the songs are promoted, it's actually possible to break through in sales.

"We'll go to Las Vegas after the new year, right?"

Seeing Susan nod, Tang Yu began to think.

"I'll first research the content of the movies 'The Forbidden Kingdom' and 'Red Cliff,' and have them talk to me about it."

You can't just write songs without understanding what the movie is about; you have to figure out what it's about first.

After Christmas, Tang Yu and Robert talked about their work plans for the new year, and then they realized that they both had to go to the United States.

"Didn't you just give a critique of all the Twilight novels?"

As soon as Tang Yu uttered that joking remark, Robert spoke up without hesitation.

"I may dislike it, but I get paid for acting, and money is still very important."

Tang Yu burst into laughter.

"There are only a few excellent films produced each year."

Art is important, but what's the point of talking about art if you don't have money? Let's make money first.

“I’m already Jade Tang’s assistant. If I don’t act in movies soon, I’ll become a follower.”

Watching Robert make fun of himself, Tang Yu pressed him down on the sofa and laughed.

"How many British tabloids have you actually read?"

"No, I was looking at the online fan comments. Your fans are really aggressive!"

Tang Yu spoke without hesitation.

"It's like you don't have any fans. Your fans are also very sharp-tongued."

"So let's ignore them and go on vacation, shall we?"

"Not skiing this year?"

As soon as Tang Yu said this, Robert hugged her and laughed.

"We had a lot of fun surfing last year, so let's go to the beach again today, and then we'll go to the United States."

At the beginning of 2008, Tang Yu turned 18.

After her vacation, she went to Las Vegas to perform, and also took on some music festival and touring gigs.

After three years of using his face in the US, he's finally achieved the level of a top-tier singer.

In her life of singing and songwriting, Tang Yu also played a few rounds of games in Las Vegas when she had nothing else to do, and felt that she had pretty good luck.

This inspired her to write a song called Golden Drift, which is full of a decadent and extravagant feel.

Tang Yu even began to enjoy this leisurely life.

Before the Spring Festival, she was shocked by the Hong Kong photo scandal. What a huge piece of gossip!

Chapter 9 Tang Yu Mainland 9

Tang Yu sympathized with this situation.

However, none of the parties involved knew each other, so it can only be viewed as gossip.

At this time, her focus was still on the theme songs of the two movies; she wrote two versions of the song for The Forbidden Kingdom.

Although the melodies are similar, the arrangements are slightly different.

One is an English song, intended for overseas promotion, and the other is a Chinese song, intended for promotion in mainland China.

So, after a month of communication between the two sides, the English version was finally named Legends, meaning legend, and the Chinese song title was "Dawn".

These two songs are as passionate as battle anthems, with strong drumbeats as the prelude, and the melody is full of sword energy. Every note is full of tension, and the songs create a huge wave as soon as they are sung.

Because it was too difficult, they originally wanted to find someone to partner with and mentor the newcomer, but they found that it was not possible.

So Tang Yu sang it solo.

In April, Tang Yu first returned to London, England to participate in the Olympic torch relay, and then rushed to Beijing to record the song "Beijing Welcomes You" with everyone.

After finishing these two important tasks, Tang Yu attended the global premiere of "The Forbidden Kingdom" in Beijing and sang a Chinese version of the song.

Then, the English version of the song was also released after the movie's release.

The film performed poorly at the North American box office after its release. Although it didn't flop, it didn't seem very likely to be profitable.

At this time, Lionsgate discovered that the song "Legends" was performing very well and had climbed to number ten on the charts.

So, the marketing team started spending more money to promote the song on YouTube and major TV stations to promote the movie.

At the same time, Tang Yu also urgently took on some new work, participating in several talk shows to help with promotion.

Of course, additional work will cost extra.

However, the effect was quite good, and the box office actually rebounded in the second week. This gave Lionsgate hope, so they continued to increase the promotion of the song.

By the end of April, although the film received mixed reviews, its box office performance improved, and one film critic even issued a harsh critique.

"Lionsgate should thank them for inviting Jade Tang to sing the theme song for the movie, because that's the only highlight of the film."

After watching the movie, all I remember is this song.

This scathing review resonated with many film critics, and Hollywood insiders also took notice of its miraculous box office performance.

Although the box office ultimately failed to become a blockbuster, the song's expressive power directly turned the film's fortunes around, ensuring that it would at least break even.

As a result, Tang Yu's agent, Susan, suddenly received numerous inquiries from Hollywood companies, all asking how much she would charge for writing a song.

"The Twilight studio also asked me to write songs, why didn't they have Robert talk to me about it?"

After Tang Yu finished making that sarcastic remark with a smile, Susan burst out laughing.

“They’re professionals, of course they should come to me for this kind of thing, coming to you would be a mistake.”

Tang Yu smiled and spoke, thinking that her boyfriend was about to finish filming.

"I'll take this movie; the price is negotiable."

I haven't written any love-related songs lately.

Actually, writing ready-made stories is easier, because you get inspiration after reading them.

In June, Tang Yu recorded the theme song "Remembering the Past at Red Cliff: Lamenting the Heroes" for the movie "Red Cliff".

Then, she finalized the theme song for the Twilight movie, Fatal Attraction, with the Twilight studio.

After recording this song in July, Tang Yu's residency in Las Vegas also came to an end.

So she suspended her work for the next month and took Robert to Beijing to watch the Olympics.

Of course, Red Cliff was also released in July.

However, the film boasts an all-star cast and didn't focus much on promoting the theme song, so Tang Yu didn't return to attend the premiere.

However, when I came to Beijing in August, the movie had already been showing for more than 20 days.

So Tang Yu heard his song playing everywhere, and it seems to be doing quite well.

"I feel like you prefer Beijing, and it seems like you've never been back to Taiwan?"

It was Robert's first time visiting, so Tang Yu dragged him around Beijing, taking him to climb the Great Wall and then to places like the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.

The two young men were practically special forces soldiers, running around here and there every day.

Because it hasn't attracted much attention in the country yet, we have a lot of freedom to do it.

“I’ve never liked Taiwan. Because of what happened with my father, I will never go back to settle down in this lifetime.”

But my dad's case is almost over, so I'll take you to play later.

"It's pointless to go back and be besieged by the media until the case is closed."

Tang Yu has not returned to Taiwan, firstly because she has no interest in it, and secondly because the case is not yet closed.

Although the murderer was caught, because it was a complex cult organization and there was no direct evidence of the murder, the murderer changed his confession at one point.

Therefore, the trial process was extremely complicated, and it has been several years since the case was resolved.

In this situation, if Tang Yu returns to Taiwan, the media will definitely ask about this case.

Tang Yu was too lazy to respond, so she simply decided not to go back.

Of course, this was because she didn't return to Taiwan, and she didn't show up at all when her father held his funeral.

So a lot of people on the island criticized her, but she completely ignored it.

Does thinking about him make you feel bad?

Robert was a little embarrassed for mentioning his girlfriend's sore spots, so he reached out and hugged her.

Tang Yu leaned against the other person and laughed.

"No, we've been together for so long, do you think I'm the kind of person who has psychological trauma?"

"I really didn't see that coming. The feeling you give me is that you'll never need to see a psychologist in your life."

Tang Yu looked up and instantly beamed with joy.

"If you have any psychological problems, I suggest you chat with me, and then let me show you around. It's more reliable to talk to me than to see a psychologist!"

Anyway, Tang Yu felt that if she became a psychologist, she would definitely make a fortune.

Robert was amused by his girlfriend.

"If you ever get offered a script for a psychologist, you absolutely must accept."

Tang Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed with worry.

"Sigh, the transformation was so successful that nobody remembers that I can act anymore."

That furrowed brow was so funny and adorable that Robert bent down and hugged him, kissing him again and again.

"You're absolutely lovely!"
