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

But once the magazine is successfully launched, you'll eventually get a cover feature.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming smiled and spoke up.

“I originally thought you would make us both the cover stars of the inaugural issue.”

Sensing the slight disappointment in her boyfriend's tone, Tang Yu immediately hugged his face and laughed.

"Oh my god, I've made a huge mistake!"

"My dear, from now on, you will be punished."

Honest man Li Ming paused for a second.

"I accept the punishment?"

"Yes, I'm going to give you a loving kiss so you won't dare look in the mirror tomorrow."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming first laughed in surprise, then pulled off his tie and blindfolded Tang Yu.

"I think this punishment could be extended a little longer."

Chapter 11 Supermodel 11

The year 2000 is approaching. It is a special year, and many people are full of expectations for the new year because we are about to enter the 21st century.

Tang Yu turned down the Winter Extreme Sports Games that year because it clashed with the Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, if you participate too many times, the audience will get tired of it.

Sometimes being absent is a good thing.

However, Tang Yu did not give up on promotion and marketing for the sports brand endorsements she had. She filmed new advertisements for all of the brands as a major promotion for 2000.

Among them, Red Bull and Nike's advertisements were the most explosive.

Tang Yu spent half a month filming the Red Bull commercial because it was too difficult.

She took a helicopter to the air and then parachuted directly from the helicopter.

After spinning in the air multiple times, she finally landed in a snowy mountain town, then put away her parachute and began skiing through various obstacles, passing through houses and obstacles. The short advertisement turned into a stunt show.

As for Nike's advertisement, it's not that the content is particularly flashy, but rather that Tang Yu and Michael Jordan collaborated on an ad to expand the Asian market, which is why it generated so much buzz.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Yu successfully invited Jordan to shoot the cover of a domestic sports magazine with her.

Both advertisements began a massive advertising campaign after the year 2000.

So even though she wasn't actively involved in the entertainment industry, her advertisements and music were legendary throughout the competition.

The commentators lamented that this year, because Tang Yu didn't appear, they wouldn't be able to see any exciting freestyle skiing moves.

As for why I participated in the Spring Festival Gala? Because this year's gala invited many singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Tang Yu felt that working together with her boyfriend, Leon Lai, would be more interesting, so the two of them stayed in Beijing together for sightseeing and rehearsals.

That night, Dawn wore a fisherman's hat and sang and danced.

Tang Yu put on a beret, wore a loose plaid sweater, a short skirt, and over-the-knee boots, and then sang "Reverse Fairy Tale".

The host backstage joked that the couple was wearing hats during their performance, wondering if it had some special meaning.

Tang Yu and Li Ming laughed together.

Leon Lai's outfit was styled by his own staff. Tang Yu saw that he was wearing a hat, so she put together this outfit for herself.

Actually, it's just a subtle way of showing affection.

However, their outfits made them the most fashionable men and women of that year, and many people imitated Tang Yu's style.

Do you know what makes me happiest?

After the Spring Festival Gala ended, the two returned to their hotel to rest, and Leon Lai wore a bright smile.

"Because I'll be with you tonight to celebrate the New Year, you're not alone."

Holding his girlfriend, Leon Lai sighed with emotion.

"Actually, I didn't want to leave my family for the New Year, but I couldn't refuse the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala."

Fortunately, you were with me, and we made it to the new millennium together.

Tang Yu smiled and nodded. In this cold winter month, she had traveled a long way to Beijing to participate in the performance.

It's really lonely without family around.

The two flew back to Hong Kong the next day, where they were greeted by paparazzi flashbulbs.

"Jade has lost a lot of weight recently. Is it because she's experiencing severe morning sickness in early pregnancy? Are you planning to get married in 2000?"

"Jade, what do you think of Leon's rumors?"

"Someone insider said you're choosing a wedding venue. Has the chapel in Repulse Bay already been booked? Are the invitations already being printed?"

……

Faced with this question that is pretty much the same every day of the year, the two of them remained aloof and didn't say a word.

The reporter didn't really care whether it was true or not.

They just want to generate buzz for tomorrow's newspaper sales.

However, upon hearing this question, Tang Yu couldn't help but reply.

"Jade, I heard you're planning to film a movie directed by Wong Jing, is that true?"

"It's fake, I have no plans to film anything."

After getting on the bus, Li Ming asked with a smile.

"You'll never be interested in acting in your life? Actually, I think you can do anything very well."

"I don't find acting difficult, but it takes several months to film a movie, which makes it hard for me to do other things."

Tang Yu released two mini-albums, but didn't promote them.

She really doesn't have time.

"I thought you didn't like those scripts."

"I never get a good script. They just want me to play a decorative role and flaunt my sex appeal. While that's normal for actresses, I'd rather walk the runway."

Every time Tang Yu goes to a fashion show, she gets to know many designers and supermodels, and gathers resources for her fashion magazine.

"What are your plans for next month? Are you still going to Shenzhen to work?"

"First, I'll walk the runway at those fashion weeks, then I'll go to the US for a Victoria's Secret audition. They're looking for an Asian face to expand the market, so I'll go and see how it goes."

As an underwear brand, Victoria's Secret was not well-known at first, but it gradually gained fame in recent years after it started holding the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The brands that Tang Yu has endorsed in recent years have performed very well in the Asian region, so her commercial value has soared and her endorsement fees have increased for several brands.

Victoria's Secret naturally wants to expand its market, and Tang Yu also wants to broaden her career, so both parties are now interested in cooperating.

"Which American lingerie brand had the fashion show?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming realized what was going on.

"Yes, it's Victoria's Secret from the United States. In recent years, they have turned their runway shows into major events in the fashion industry, making the brand sexy, fashionable, and high-end. It's a very advanced marketing approach."

Tang Yu was analyzing the Victoria's Secret fashion show culture when Leon Lai became worried.

"If you participate in this, will it cause controversy in China?"

"There will definitely be more. Maybe the Spring Festival Gala will never invite me again, but that's not important."

I will use my own magazine for marketing and branding; in the fashion industry, sometimes it's all about who holds the power.

Controversy is not a big problem; the key is not to criticize in a one-sided manner, but to have one's own channels to express one's views.

Tang Yu also considered starting her own business and building a strong brand.

But later she felt that it was more interesting to control the channels, invest in and promote multiple brands.

Many people still don't know what she wants to do, but Tang Yu already has a clear plan for her future career.

At the time, Dawn didn't say anything.

In March, after walking the runway in Paris, Tang Yu came to the United States to negotiate an endorsement contract with Victoria's Secret.

Then, the couple had their first disagreement.

"You have so many luxury brand endorsements, you don't need another Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, why don't you reconsider?"

"Hmm, can you give me a reason? I feel like you're not the conservative type."

After dating for two years, Tang Yu felt that her boyfriend was gentle, humble, and respectful, and she couldn't find any fault with him. He also respected her career.

Although they were both very busy, neither of them argued about this matter.

"I'm a little worried about how the elders will accept it. Could you reconsider?"

Tang Yu's first thought was of her father.

Of course, I strongly oppose it, and I'd probably feel ashamed.

However, Tang Yu's father has gotten used to it over the years. He may be angry, but he will not say a bad word about his daughter when facing the media or friends.

So, she suddenly understood her boyfriend's concerns.

"Leon, I'm very touched that you said that to me, because if it weren't for the fact that we're family, you wouldn't care about how the elders treat me."

However, I cannot refuse this collaboration because of you, because I will not give up my career because of my elders' prejudice against me.

After saying this, both of them fell silent on the phone.

"Don't you care at all about your future in-laws' attitude?"

"To be honest, if we were to get married, I would prefer to live separately as a couple. I don't like being told what to do by my elders."

I will respect the elderly, but I am unwilling to compromise my lifestyle habits for their sake.

This is a topic that has never been discussed before.

Because Tang Yu is still young, even Leon Lai himself feels that talking about married life is too far off now.
