Tang Yu's crossover has always been a hot topic. It started with extreme sports, transitioning from classical music to being a rebellious girl who enjoys extreme sports.

She successfully broke down gender barriers, creating a beauty that combines elegance and strength.

Her subsequent runway shows further demonstrated her modeling prowess.

Therefore, Tang Yu began to have many brand negotiations.

Some luxury brands may still be observing, but some brands with avant-garde aesthetics have already started collaborating directly with Tangyu.

In 1998, Tang Yu arrived in Paris to prepare for a major fashion show.

This show was Gaultier's Spring/Summer 1998 collection.

This designer combined a blazer made of smooth satin fabric with wide-leg trousers, and paired it with an underwear-as-outerwear design to create a dangerously alluring female image.

The seriousness of the suit has been broken, and elements such as prints and sequins have been incorporated, expressing the feminine details of menswear elements, which has become the avant-garde aesthetic of this era.

The exaggerated and avant-garde mix-and-match style has always been a hot topic in the fashion world.

At first, Tang Yu thought it was just a show.

After the two met, Gautier said something that made Tang Yu laugh.

“I really love the song ‘Flying’. Would you be interested in being the opening model? I think you can create a song that will blow the show away.”

A scene instantly flashed into Tang Yu's mind.

“Then I have an even more interesting idea, which should be even more shocking than music.”

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Gautier followed up with a question. After Tang Yu shared her thoughts, Gautier applauded.

"I can confirm now that the photo of riding a horse and leaping into the air was your idea."

The two exchanged a smile and then reached an agreement.

In mid-January of that year, Gaultier's Spring/Summer 1998 fashion show began in Paris.

The background music, mixed with electronic music, begins to play, and you can almost hear the scraping of skateboards on the street. The combination of guitar and electronic drum beats is both classical and rebellious, and the music is full of impact from the very beginning.

After a sudden break in the melody, the lights in the show instantly came on.

When the models appeared, the audience gasped in amazement.

Because Tang Yu didn't walk out from backstage, but instead skated directly onto the runway on a skateboard, and then used the momentum to complete a clean dolphin jump.

This entrance instantly sparked a huge discussion. Tang Yu wore a pink satin suit with pink underwear worn as outerwear, along with some metallic accessories, as if oil paint had been splashed on silk, a fusion of wild art and powerful elegance.

Tang Yu picked up the skateboard and slung it across her waist, then walked forward naturally, her steps confident and assertive, her eyes exuding domineering and wild beauty.

In that frozen moment, the flashes of light almost turned it into daytime.

Backstage, Gautier and Tang Yu embraced.

"You know what? When you stood on the stage, my clothes seemed to come alive. That's what you call vitality. You were destined to shine on this stage."

Tang Yu smiled confidently.

"Really? I think so too."

Both of them have a rebellious and adventurous spirit in their bones, so their collaboration in this show can be described as a match made in heaven.

The editor-in-chief of Vogue had met with Tang Yu several times before, and this time she directly asked her assistant to confirm the title of the next issue: The combination of fashion and sports, no one can surpass her!

After the show, all the fashion media headlines praised it.

WWD: "Gaultier's rebelliousness met Tang Yu's wildness, and from this moment on, sportswear entered the DNA of haute couture."

ELLE: "When Jean Paul Gaultier deconstructed a suit with scissors, Tang Yu crushed the fourth wall of the runway with a skateboard—this is not a fashion show, but a street revolution in fashion."

Vanity Fair: "When sports and fashion combine, Eastern girls embody the pioneering power of the new era."

The immense buzz and recognition led Tang Yu to take on Chanel's Spring/Summer Haute Couture show that year.

A black French-style halter dress perfectly embodies an elegant and beautiful style.

After achieving great success, Tang Yu did not rush to continue walking the runway, but instead returned to the United States to participate in this year's Extreme Sports Games.

This time, Tang Yu wore the brand she endorses and performed freestyle skiing at the ski resort.

The various amazing freestyle skiing moves directly boosted the day's viewership.

Although she has an Asian face, in extreme sports, everyone admires the strong.

Tang Yu's confidence and flamboyance on the field directly led many young people to follow suit and start playing skateboarding.

Therefore, Chen Chen is currently in talks with sports brands, which are particularly interested in combining sports and fashion, and Tang Yu is the best candidate right now.

Besides generating buzz in Europe and America, it can also open up the Asian market, making it the most suitable choice.

After the competition, Tang Yu turned down many jobs because she was going back to China to prepare for climbing Mount Everest.

However, before that, Tang Yu still remembered the promise she made last year.

She and Leon Lai met directly in Vancouver, Canada, because the music video for this song is set up as a couple skiing.

The story of a couple who parted ways on a snowy mountain after arguing, then fell off the mountain, and finally found each other again in the snow.

"It's a simple story, but filming it will be quite difficult. Have you prepared warm clothes?"

When Li Ming heard Tang Yu's teasing, he responded with a smile.

“I ski every winter, so I’ve prepared all the warm clothes. You’re dressed too lightly, girls should pay more attention to keeping warm.”

As he spoke, Li Ming took out a hand warmer.

"I bought a lot of these for you, just in case everyone's bodies can't handle it when we're filming on the snowy mountain."

"Leon, you have such a considerate personality, but we were on the same wavelength this time."

Tang Yu smiled and opened the bag next to her, then took out the hand warmers she had prepared.

She's someone who spends a lot of time skiing, so she must have some tips for staying warm.

"Then wouldn't I have lost the opportunity to curry favor with him?"

"No, you've gotten a chance to compliment the beautiful woman. With someone as capable and intelligent as me, you can imagine how smooth our collaboration will be."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming burst into laughter.

The music video was filmed in just two days.

If it weren't for the fact that it was set in a snowy, icy place, the director could have moved much faster.

After finishing work, Li Ming treated everyone to a meal, and then extended an invitation to Tang Yu.

"You still have plenty of time. How about spending a few more days in Vancouver? We don't have any work this time, so let's have some fun skiing."

"Just the two of us?"

Tang Yu laughed and teased, and Li Ming laughed too.

"You can also refuse me seriously."

"Leon, I'll probably be very busy for the next few years. I won't refuse dating, but it's very likely that I won't be able to be your ideal partner."

After Tang Yu agreed to film the music video, the two have kept in touch.

Some things are obvious to everyone, so Tang Yu's answer right now is quite clear.

"But you only know if something is right after you've tried it, don't you think?"

Tang Yu immediately became playful and started teasing him.

"If I survive climbing Mount Everest in May, and you come to pick me up, I'll say yes."

"OK, it's a deal."

The next week, the two spent a few days at the ski resort, and then went shopping in the city.

By the time Tang Yu and the mountaineering team had gathered and started their pre-mountain training, paparazzi in Hong Kong had already taken photos of the two skiing and published them in various gossip magazines.

The rumor caused quite a stir because the two were seen holding hands in the candid photos.

Unfortunately, we cannot contact Tang Yu, the person at the center of the scandal, for the time being.

So only Leon Lai and the paparazzi played a game of hide-and-seek.

However, he has to film movies and record albums now, so the paparazzi can't do anything about it.

After training and getting used to each other with the mountaineering team for two months in advance, Tang Yu began the arduous climb.

The group endured more than a month of hardship and finally reached the summit.

Once everyone returned to a safe altitude, CCTV quickly interviewed them and then broadcast footage of the mountaineering team displaying the national flag at the summit on the evening news.

When Tang Yu was interviewed and asked what she felt when she reached the summit of Mount Everest, she smiled and answered.

"Although I was shivering in the wind and snow, I suddenly understood Du Fu's line, 'I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the mountains below.'"

The wind and snow along the way tested us countless times, but only by striving upwards could we witness the magnificent landscape. This is the most meaningful thing I've ever done since I was eighteen.

Following CCTV's report, major newspapers featured the incident on their front pages.

Many people in China only became aware of this Hong Kong-born girl after this incident.

This once puzzled many people: Is this the style of young people in Hong Kong?

A few years later, gossip magazines featuring Hong Kong celebrities began to spread in mainland China's online and magazine reports.

Then, everyone became even more confused about Tang Yu's situation.

This art style doesn't seem to fit in with any particular place.

However, at this time, Tang Yu had only just begun to gain some fame in mainland China, and people knew very little about her.

After saying goodbye to her teammates in Nepal after spending several months together, Tang Yu, with a slightly frostbitten face, smiled and asked Li Ming a question.

"Am I ugly enough to make you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, she looks like an ice fairy, very beautiful!"
