In winter I can ski, in spring I can play the violin, in summer I can relax, and in autumn I can go racing.
I'm the kind of person who gets bored easily; I get tired of anywhere after a while. There's no question of me specifically developing my career in Hong Kong or overseas.
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Huang Zhan laughed and asked a question.
"What about your 190cm tall handsome guy? Won't you get tired of him soon too?"
"This handsome guy only appears in my dreams at night. He'll disappear naturally when I get tired of him. He's a very self-aware handsome guy."
Huang Zhan immediately understood what Tang Yu meant, and the old man and the young man burst into laughter.
Finally, Wong Jim inquired about Tang Yu's career plans.
"Actually, I haven't decided yet because I'm still very young. It's okay if I take the wrong path, but I'll most likely still become a model. If I have the opportunity to act, I'll give it a try."
Life is all about experiences, so trying out different industries makes it more interesting.
Wong Jim appreciated Tang Yu's attitude, so he asked about the English song.
"This song was written to match the extreme sport of skiing. I grew up listening to Cantonese songs, and I also really like Chinese folk music. In the past few years, I have learned the pipa, guzheng and erhu."
"With your talent, why didn't you debut in Hong Kong? Instead, you chose such a dangerous path to make your mark overseas?"
This question is very simple.
"Because I'm too greedy. If I debut in Hong Kong, the signing company will definitely have to follow their arrangements."
I have no say in what roles I take on in a year, what social engagements I attend, what my share of the pay is, or whether I own the copyright to the songs I write. I'm too powerless.
However, if a company wants to promote a newcomer, it will definitely spend a lot of money on packaging and promotion. It's not like they're doing charity work to promote me, so I chose a more independent path.
At this point, Tang Yu started to joke about himself again.
"With my height, many male actors would probably refuse to act with me if I debuted."
A height of 178cm is more suitable for the modeling industry; it's really hard to succeed in acting.
"Will you only write English songs from now on? Actually, I really hope you release a Cantonese album. Your talent shouldn't only shine overseas."
Tang Yu had not seriously considered this question.
"I've written a few songs in both Mandarin and Cantonese, but I need a record company to be willing to work with me. If there's an opportunity, I'll release an album."
I personally think it's more fun to try everything in life.
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Uncle Huang Zhan became very interested in the songs Tang Yu had composed, so Tang Yu sang a few songs for him on the spot.
After that, Tang Yu agreed to appear on the show "Cai Lan's Life is So Much Fun" with Uncle Zhan.
This is a talk show centered around "eating, drinking, and having fun." Although it is hosted by Chua Lam, James Wong also frequently appears as a guest.
Tang Yu appeared on a TV show and complained about the terrible food she ate in the UK, talked about her interesting experiences competing abroad, and finally sang "Dragon's Roar Across the Nine Provinces," a song that Uncle Wong Jim liked and which she composed.
After recording the program, Tang Yu took her grandfather to Beijing.
After playing for more than a month, Tang Yu learned from a friend about a surprising result.
After more than two months of relentless advertising bombardment, the song "Flying" has directly boosted radio airplay and has now topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for two consecutive weeks.
This data will continue because the song is very popular among teenagers.
Unfortunately, Tang Yu hasn't released an album, so the only way to hear this song is through request broadcasts on television.
Meanwhile, Red Bull has successfully entered the US market through various advertising sponsorships and marketing campaigns, and its sales are currently growing rapidly.
Therefore, BURTON, a famous American snowboard brand, contacted Tang Yu with a plan to invite her to be their spokesperson.
It can generate buzz in the US and might also open up the Asian market.
Although she is from Hong Kong, Tang Yu's advertising jingle had a huge impact and was very popular among teenagers.
Therefore, the brand believes that the image of Tang Yu can expand into the younger market.
So, after finishing her trip, Tang Yu set off again for the United States.
This time, she met a compatible agent.
The two came up with a plan to start a fashion magazine in mainland China.
Chapter 5 Supermodel 5
However, before that, Tang Yuxian had partnered with the snowboard brand BURTON.
The other party first confirmed whether Tang Yu would participate in the Winter Games next year. After receiving a positive answer from Tang Yu, the two parties began specific negotiations on the details of the contract.
At this point, Tang Yu's agent, Chen Chen, came into play.
Ms. Chen was born in 1970. She is a second-generation Hong Kong Chinese. She studied fashion design in college and worked for fashion magazines after graduation. She worked for magazines such as Vogue and Elle, accumulating rich fashion resources and connections.
Now, Sister Chen wants to start her own business and has her eye on the huge domestic market.
The two hit it off immediately and reached a cooperation agreement.
BURTON mainly advertises in various skiing-related sports magazines, and Tang Yu took many promotional photos.
As for television advertising, that's too expensive, and BURTON has no plans for that at the moment.
So after Tang Yu finished cooperating with BURTON's promotional interview, she and Sister Chen started discussing the magazine's name.
It needs to be eye-catching and simple, with an international feel, but not too Westernized.
Finally, the two settled on the name "Fashion Vanguard".
Being a fashion pioneer doesn't sound bad, but this era is all about mixing East and West, and it seems to inexplicably make you a little more fashionable.
Sometimes we have to compromise with the market environment.
However, when registering the trademark name, Tang Yu asked Sister Chen to go back to China to register a large number of related trademarks, since the two of them planned to open a supplement in the future.
While Sister Chen was busy with preparations, Tang Yu was preparing for the Summer Extreme Games to be held in June this year.
She plans to participate in street skateboarding. Although there is no women's skateboarding category at this year's Summer Games, the event organizers are eyeing the buzz Tang Yu generated at the beginning of the year.
With Red Bull continuing to sponsor the competition, Tang Yu obtained the qualification offered by the brand.
Of course, because of the huge success of the song "Flying", Tang Yu was also invited by the organizers to create a theme song for the Summer Games called "Rushing".
The organizers specified the same style, which should match extreme sports, since exciting and dynamic music is more intoxicating.
Finally, the song blends elements of pop, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music. Its upbeat rhythm and strong drumbeats create a heart-pounding feeling and are highly infectious.
Therefore, after the Summer X Games began in June, this song was played on a loop throughout the season as athletes won championships.
Tang Yu won the street skateboarding championship once again, and sports-related media gave her the title of "all-around athlete".
After the competition, Tang Yu did not stay in the United States for many interviews; she returned to Hong Kong as quickly as possible.
Because July 1, 1997, was approaching.
Many promotional activities for the return of the brand began last year, ahead of this major holiday.
What kind of documentary film has been playing on a loop since the beginning of this year?
On June 30th, many grand promotional events were held.
One of the events was "The Glory of the Dragon - A Grand Performance to Celebrate Hong Kong's Return to the Motherland," which was attended by almost half of Hong Kong's arts and culture community.
Tang Yu was also among those invited. Although she was not very famous, her achievements were groundbreaking.
So Tang Yu performed two programs at the end. When Liza Wang sang "Love Across a Thousand Mountains and Rivers," Tang Yu accompanied her on the violin.
After that, she sang the song "Dragon's Roar Across the Nine Provinces".
This song didn't get much attention at first because Tang Yu only sang it once on a TV show.
There was no promotion or advertising, so initially only a small number of people requested it on the radio.
But after more than four months of radio requests, the song gradually became popular again as the comeback date approached.
Tang Yu's lyrics for this song are passionate and stirring, filled with the heroic spirit of a dragon roaring through the clouds, while the melody is full of powerful explosive force and magnificent momentum.
It combines the crisp impact of electronic rhythms with the melodious grandeur of traditional folk music.
The interplay of two textures gives the melody a dynamic yet powerful feel.
Therefore, Tang Yu was invited to sing this song again.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Tang Yu started striking up conversations backstage.
Since we're going to start a magazine, although a large part of it will rely on fashion resources, if we want to attract attention after the launch, we still need to find some celebrities.
So Tang Yu didn't hesitate to strike up a conversation with Faye Wong.
"Your work involves such a wide range of activities? Singing, playing sports, and being the editor-in-chief of a magazine?"
Tang Yu burst into laughter.
"I don't have time to be the magazine's editor-in-chief, but I have invested in it. Sister Fei, would you like to consider it?"
Wang Fei hesitated, seemingly wanting to refuse, but Tang Yu added more weight to the argument.
"Sister Fei, I can also tailor-make a song just for you, whatever style you want."
As soon as Tang Yu said this, Faye Wong smiled instantly.
"Songs in Mandarin are also acceptable?"
Tang Yu immediately switched to Mandarin. It wasn't that she couldn't speak it; it's just that everyone in Hong Kong is used to speaking Cantonese.
Finally, after pondering for a while, Faye Wong made her decision.
"I'll think about it and give you an answer in a couple of days."
The two exchanged contact information, and Tang Yu knew this wasn't a polite way of rejecting him.
Wang Fei mainly wanted to see what the musical style of Tang Yu's other songs was, and also to discuss with her manager whether it was suitable.
After striking up a conversation with Faye Wong, Tang Yu left the lounge and walked out.
As she turned around at the corner, she almost bumped into someone.
"Leon, sorry, I almost bumped into you."
Tang Yu felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had been thinking too seriously.
