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

The other party wanted to discuss the copyright of the song, so they arranged to meet.

Su Mingyu was afraid that this person was a fraud, and since she herself was studying law, the two sisters decided to meet him together.

Although President Meng is Su Mingyu's benefactor, I think it would be better for Su Mingyu to go to Tsinghua University. Her abilities will lead to a brighter future at Tsinghua.

In our country, as long as you have good grades and are a potential candidate for Tsinghua or Peking University, you will never lack people to sponsor your tuition.

Even if your parents don't have money, the high school principal and teachers will still pay your tuition, because getting into Tsinghua or Peking University will improve their resumes and bring them higher bonuses.

Chapter 2 All Is Well

"Hello, are you Director Wang?"

The two parties agreed to meet at a coffee shop.

When Tang Yu arrived at her destination, the other person was already sitting and waiting, so she asked uncertainly.

The person who arranged to meet her this time was named Wang Hui, a female director.

There are photos of this person in interviews with the media, but since the person is wearing sunglasses, Tang Yu asked uncertainly.

"You...you are Tang Yu?"

Tang Yu used this name to register online, so Wang Hui asked in surprise after taking off her sunglasses.

Because the person in front of me is too young and beautiful, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who could write those obscure lyrics about unrequited love.

"That's right, I am Tang Yu. It's a pleasure to meet Director Wang."

This is my older sister, Su Mingyu. Can we sit down and talk now?

Wang Hui smiled slightly and gestured for the two to sit down and talk.

"I'm sorry, I just think that someone as beautiful as Miss Tang Yu probably can't understand the feeling of unrequited love, because you must have many suitors."

That's right, the song Wang Hui chose was about unrequited love on campus. It had a catchy melody and a touch of youthful, innocent campus life.

Therefore, Wang Hui felt that this song was a good match for the campus movie she was currently filming.

If we can make this song popular before promoting the movie, it will definitely help with box office revenue.

"Director Wang, wasn't your recent film, 'Eighteen-Year-Old Love Letter,' adapted from a novel?"

Actually, the song I composed was written after reading this novel.

Therefore, creating this song doesn't necessarily require experiencing that emotion yourself; touching lyrics can also evoke feelings in others.

As soon as Tang Yu said this, the eyes of the people opposite her lit up. No wonder she felt that this song was so fitting for her movie.

It turns out that it was originally created because of a novel.

"May I hear you perform this song live?"

Wang Hui originally thought she could buy the song and find someone else to sing it, but now she feels that the person in front of her might be the one who can truly bring the song to life.

"of course can!"

When Tang Yu was composing several songs, she was actually creating them based on some movies that were going to be released the following year, because she wanted to ride the wave of popularity.

In this internet age, becoming famous is sometimes accidental, and sometimes it is the result of deliberate planning.

So Tang Yu set up her career in film and television works, but before she could even gain any popularity, the director discovered her first.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Afterwards, Tang Yu played the song again in the recording studio, and Wang Hui was even more satisfied.

She has already come up with a promotional plan for the movie, determined to make this song a hit from the start.

So the two parties began to discuss the copyright of the collaborative song and future publicity and promotion.

Since Tang Yu is the one performing this song, she will definitely participate in various promotional activities for the movie.

Su Mingyu stayed by her sister's side the whole time, and she personally handled everything, even checking the contract later on.

As a newcomer, the pay was naturally low, but Tang Yu didn't care. Sometimes, a good starting point is more important than money.

"Does your younger sister want to be a singer in the future?"

After saying goodbye to Director Wang, the two sisters took a walk in the park, and Su Mingyu asked curiously.

"Being an actor is also an option, but entering the entertainment industry as an actor requires resources."

So after thinking it over, I think creating my own works offers the best chance of success. However, I also have a backup plan: becoming a novelist is also an option.

Becoming famous is a difficult thing, Su Mingyu was worried.

She's already seen a lot of shady dealings in college; if she enters the entertainment industry, the waters will probably run even deeper.

“Little sister, I don’t think I should stop you from having this idea, but I don’t know how to protect you because I really don’t have the ability to help you in this industry.”

Tang Yu knew what the other person was worried about, so she smiled and comforted her.

"I understand that there are many unspoken rules in this industry, as well as countless temptations, various forms of suppression, and backstabbing."

But sister, do you think there are no unspoken rules or backstabbing in a 9-to-5 job?

"So, sis, you'll have to be my legal advisor from now on. Aren't you still studying finance?"

"When I start making money in the future, we'll become the capital in the entertainment industry ourselves. I'm waiting for your help!"

These words made Su Mingyu laugh instantly; she didn't dare to think that far ahead yet.

But studying law can definitely help my younger sister; at least she won't get ripped off when signing contracts.

After the winter break ended and the second semester of her freshman year began, Tang Yu had already recorded the song and started promoting it according to the contract she had signed.

The movie is scheduled to be released after the college entrance examination.

Because the original novel was very popular, and it was originally about the life of a senior high school student and the unrequited love of youth, the release date was well chosen.

Tang Yu then went to various universities with the director and main cast to promote the song, performing it each time.

During the time when the director and the main character appeared on a TV show, Tang Yu would get some attention and eventually sing the song with the main character.

After two months of promotion, the movie was finally released!

As a campus youth film, the novel was already very popular.

In addition, the director was skilled enough, the male and female leads were handsome and beautiful, and the film exuded youthful energy, so the movie became an instant box office hit.

The theme song that Tang Yu composed for this movie also became a hit, and the song could be heard playing everywhere.

However, the sudden popularity of a song does not mean that Tang Yu is famous, because these days there are many cases where the song is familiar but the person is not.

Director Wang Hui introduced Tang Yu to a record company. After a long negotiation, a contract was finally agreed upon.

Then, her agent, Zhao Ming, found her a job opportunity.

"Sister Zhao, do you want me to try to get this singing competition program?"

“We’re not famous enough right now. Although many of the singers participating in this show are past their prime, this is a hard-won opportunity for us to gain exposure. What do you think?”

Tang Yu certainly thought it was great, because since the movie was released, she has mainly been performing at some universities and participating in some niche music festivals.

It's still a very, very long way from red.

This opportunity to appear on television would increase exposure several times over, it couldn't be better!

"Then let's sign the contract. It doesn't matter if we get eliminated. Many singers are unwilling to participate because they are afraid of losing face, but these days, exposure is more important."

So, when Tang Yu turned twenty, she experienced the feeling of becoming an overnight sensation for the first time.

Originally, it was a singing competition that outsiders didn't have high hopes for, and the contestants were all singers who had faded from the spotlight, but the show inexplicably became a hit in the end.

Especially for Tang Yu, a newcomer, she didn't have many fans to begin with. People were only vaguely familiar with her previous campus song, but they didn't know her at all.

However, after the first episode aired, she sang that campus song again, and it instantly became a hit online.

Because everyone finally saw each other's faces and realized how beautiful she was!

Originally, the production team estimated that she would be eliminated in the second or third episode.

Because it's so new, it probably won't generate much buzz for the show.

But what was unexpected was that Tang Yu's popularity exploded.

Therefore, the production team did not resort to underhanded tactics to eliminate her.

In the following episodes, Tang Yu sang songs from her own album.

The production team was initially hesitant, but Tang Yu's own arrangement style gave them a fresh feeling.

Therefore, Tang Yu used this program to promote her new album.

The program, consisting of more than ten episodes, ran for three months.

During the finals, Tang Yu asked Su Mingyu to take leave to watch her final match.

"Little sister, you're really famous now. My roommates all want your autographed albums."

"These days, every album that sells its share is a good sale. Everyone listens to them online, and I will definitely sign autographs for them."

At this point, both of them laughed.

Are you confident of winning the championship?

Upon hearing Su Mingyu's question, Tang Yu simply laughed.

"I was originally only qualified to participate in two or three episodes, but the popularity exploded, so the director let me stay until the last episode."

The champion will only be decided among those few veteran singers; I won't get involved.

Tonight, I will sing a sentimental song.

Sometimes, to create a truly explosive effect, you definitely need a song that evokes the audience's emotions. The production team can't be too obviously manipulating things behind the scenes, lest the audience feel it's unfair.

Therefore, song selection is an important aspect.

If you choose a lyrical and gentle song, don't even think about getting first place.

"Little sister, aren't you sad?"

Su Mingyu spoke with some concern, and Tang Yu laughed.
