Tang Yu flashed her standard CCTV smile.

"The director wanted me to create a Chinese-style song, so I couldn't help but read some Song Dynasty poems, and that's when I got the inspiration."

"This is your first time performing on the Spring Festival Gala. Do you have any special feelings?"

Tang Yu naturally felt that the rehearsals had taken too long, but she wouldn't say that on the surface.

"This is the first time I've had such a lively Chinese New Year. In the past, I always celebrated at home, without the atmosphere of celebrating with everyone. It feels very festive."

"A new year has arrived. Is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

Tang Yu immediately raised her hand in a New Year's greeting gesture.

"Wishing all viewers watching on television a happy new year filled with good food, good drinks, good sleep, good health, and all the best!"

After the interview, Tang Yu had just stepped out of the backstage interview hall when her assistant and Zhang Ruoyun quickly approached her.

After Zhang Ruoyun wrapped his wife in a brown coat, his assistant handed her a thermos.

Tang Yu took a sip of hot water, and only then did she feel the icy sensation in her body dissipate.

"It's so cold, that's why I didn't want to come a few years ago."

As soon as he finished making that comment, Zhang Ruoyun laughed and began to caress his wife's breasts.

"Let me warm your hands, we'll go home in a bit."

The two strolled backstage, where they saw many celebrities and artists. When they encountered familiar faces, they would stop to greet them and chat.

After the staff confirmed that they could leave, the couple finally got into the car to go home. It was already past ten o'clock.

The car's air conditioning was on full blast, but once inside, Tang Yu clung to the other person like an octopus.

"You know, it feels so good to hug you in winter, like hugging a big heater."

Zhang Ruoyun adjusted his position to hug his wife tighter, while kissing her forehead and jokingly complaining.

"You hug me in the summer and immediately push me away, but in the winter you cling to me and won't let go. Is there any woman more materialistic than you?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Tang Yu laughed and fell into the other person's chest, then rubbed her cold cheek against the other person's neck.

"I won't listen, I won't listen. Who told you to marry me? Let's just make do, what else can we do but get a divorce?"

Zhang Ruoyun burst out laughing and immediately pulled the person into his arms and kissed them.

"My wife looks so beautiful tonight, she's amazing!"

Chapter 73 Home with Kids 73

After the Spring Festival, it officially became February 2022.

As Hunan TV's opening drama of the year, "The Legend of Deng Sui" was broadcast on satellite TV on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, Tang Yu could only start promotional activities with Tan Jianci, and even arranged to participate in Hunan TV's Lantern Festival Gala.

The popularity of this year's Spring Festival Gala may have contributed to the high level of interest in the TV series' premiere.

Fans and viewers alike felt it had been a long time since they had seen her in a period drama, and with such a unique look, they were all very excited.

There have been very few historical dramas set in the Han Dynasty in recent years, so the ancient style and Han Dynasty background of this drama immediately attracted the audience's interest as soon as it was broadcast.

Deng Sui was a clever and shrewd young woman. From the very beginning, she had a clear goal: to reach the highest position.

Therefore, her encounter with the young emperor was not accidental at all; it was all about mutual exploitation.

Both sides wanted to leverage each other's strength; the young emperor wanted to replace his maternal relatives with a new one, while the young woman wanted to climb up to become the new generation's maternal relatives.

This is a shrewd, intelligent, and sophisticated noblewoman from ancient times.

Such a character design is naturally very popular. At least the audience is tired of seeing the typical naive and innocent female lead, and watching this drama makes the audience feel that it is a good use of their intelligence.

What's more, the male and female leads are handsome and beautiful, the costumes and props are exquisite, and the plot moves at a fast pace. It's practically Deng Sui's leveling-up and monster-slaying life.

Therefore, a week after the show premiered, the drama series also garnered a huge amount of discussion at the beginning of the year, becoming the number one drama in terms of viewership ratings in its time slot.

As a major drama series to kick off the year, it has completely lived up to the expectations of the TV station, and advertisers are also very satisfied with its performance. It looks like it's about to become a huge hit.

The audience was extremely satisfied with the two villainous main characters.

"I'm really tired of seeing naive and innocent girls. Sister Yu and Tan Jianci are both really strong. There's not much love in their eyes, only ambition and manipulation."

"He still liked her a little. Emperor He of Han wanted to replace the maternal relatives, but he also definitely wanted to replace the woman he liked."

You can't just switch to someone you hate, right? I think Tan Jianci portrayed that feeling well—liking someone but also wanting to use them.

"Yu Jie's portrayal of Deng Sui is even funnier. All her gentleness and tenderness are just acting. The only time her smile is bright is when she gets a promotion and a raise. She is also very happy when she receives a reward. She is not like a favored concubine. She is more like a hardworking ox or horse."

"Haha, I'm crazy. I can't stand those artificially sweet and romantic relationships. But I'm obsessed with those relationships where there's mutual exploitation mixed with a little bit of affection."

"How can this not be called love? Deposing the Empress, handing the Empress's position to you, and even making you the regent after her death—if this isn't love?"

When Tang Yu and Tan Jianci sang the theme song of the TV series during the Lantern Festival, the audience below the stage was extremely enthusiastic. You can't ship them in real life, but you can still ship them as a couple on screen.

With such a great start to the new year, Tang Yu's management team was naturally very pleased, so there were many more magazine advertising and endorsement shoots to do.

Of course, many film offers came in, but in reality, Tang Yu hasn't taken on many outside roles in recent years because she prefers to control the scripts herself.

Besides, if she takes on outside projects, she'll likely end up promoting someone else's new talent. Even if she wants to promote new talent, it'll be for her own company.

Over the years, the company has signed many promising newcomers who have appeared in various TV dramas and variety shows, and so far, the results have been quite good.

Therefore, apart from movies and TV series with political missions and promotional activities, she still doesn't take on many outside acting roles.

She won't accept a role unless the other party presents her with a complete script that she finds exceptionally excellent.

In the past, this attitude would have offended a lot of people in the industry, since everyone likes to talk about seniority and hierarchy, and not giving face would be tantamount to cutting yourself off from the workplace.

However, in the last decade, after internet capital entered this circle, it went from initially testing the waters to now completely dominating and controlling most of the upstream and downstream links.

Therefore, the Beijing and Shanghai film circles have declined, and veteran directors have gradually lost their voice.

Therefore, as long as Tang Yu's filming performance is good each year, internet capital is very welcoming.

This is an era in which the old capital of the film and television industry is gradually declining.

In this process of transition between the old and the new, some conflicts will inevitably accumulate and suddenly erupt.

#Unveiling the Man Behind Tang Yu's Fame#

Within a single day, a large number of related terms trended on all platforms.

The incident stemmed from an incident the previous night in Shanghai where a middle-aged man was arrested and taken to the police station after harassing and molesting a minor.

Subsequently, thanks to the efforts of certain individuals, this ordinary news story quickly became a headline.

Because the man had repeatedly recorded videos on Douyin expressing: "What is Tang Yu, this female celebrity? I kept her when she was a teenager."

Such videos used to get fewer than a hundred views and few people would pay attention to them, thinking it was just a middle-aged man having delusions.

However, after this middle-aged man committed another crime while drunk, his popularity exploded.

There are no trending topics across all platforms without a reason.

Although the trigger point is random, the push across all platforms is clearly the work of individuals with ulterior motives.

Tang Yu's competitors and the behind-the-scenes capital that had conflicts with him all stepped in to kick him while he was down.

Just like when Wu Jing's box office hit and he was criticized, not many people thought he could be crushed. But when there is competition and conflict, people will kick him while he can.

This is also the most intense negative trending topic across all platforms since Tang Yu's debut.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

She never imagined that there were so many men behind her.

"Do you know what's the easiest thing about being your agent? No matter when I'm about to break down, you can still put on a smile."

I developed an impenetrable mental fortitude by being by your side.

After Sister Wen finished speaking with a smile, Tang Yu opened her mouth with a smile as well.

“Sometimes I look down on these people with empty heads, so I don’t bother with them, but if they really want to play with me for traffic and trending topics, I have many ways to deal with them.”

The Winter Olympics just ended not long ago, so is it still generating a lot of buzz?

As soon as Tang Yu said this, Sister Wen asked in surprise.

"What does this have to do with the Winter Olympics?"

"Wasn't the big air event that Su Yiming and Gu Ailing participated in exciting? Let's take the team to Jilin for skiing."

"Over there you can do big air, freestyle skiing, and even perform in the halfpipe. I'd love to make headlines for extreme sports."

Sometimes, responding directly to something even puts you at a disadvantage; they just want to drag you into these negative, scandalous rumors.

"How about we talk about becoming a tourism promotion ambassador?"

Hearing his agent say that, Tang Yu smiled and spoke up.

"Sister Wen, you're a qualified agent. Anyway, I was prepared for this. Let's release the video marketing from when we participated in 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' and we'll slap them in the face in a few days."

When it comes to grabbing the top trending topics, they can't beat me.

Tang Yu's PR team naturally has work to do; removing the trending topic is unnecessary and would only make things worse.

So the studio simply edited together clips from variety shows from previous years and then gave them a like online.
