How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 330 aired
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's December.

The variety show "Go Fighting!" that Jiang Yu and his team recorded has reached its third episode, and they are now preparing to officially announce its release date, which will be broadcast at the end of this month.

Jiang Yu felt that the recording process went relatively smoothly. It was a variety show, and he was already quite familiar with the other guests, so the recording went well, and everyone got along very well.

Now we're basically just waiting for Tencent Video to get everything ready so we can officially announce the release date.

This time, Jiang Yu and his team collaborated with Tencent Video to broadcast the variety show online, instead of on television. Traditional broadcasting methods are no longer viable. Nowadays, many dramas and variety shows choose to air on video platforms, as it's more convenient.

If it were broadcast on television, the review process would be much slower and the requirements would be more stringent. The reach wouldn't be as wide as broadcasting on online platforms.

Shortly after Jiang Yu and his team finished recording the third episode, his company, Xu Ya's side, and Tencent Video announced the release date and news for the variety show "Go Fighting!".

"Go Fighting! is scheduled to premiere on December 15th!"

"Jiang Yu's brand new variety show is coming soon!"

"A brand new outdoor reality show is coming soon!"

"Jiang Yu is finally open for business!"

……

Similar terms appeared prominently on the trending topics list, with the trending topic about Jiang Yu's new variety show, "Go Fighting!", sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Since the National Day Gala, Jiang Yu has rarely appeared in public. In fact, he has spent most of this year away from the public eye, seemingly in a semi-retired state.

Aside from the occasional photos or news of Jiang Yu taken by media outlets or paparazzi online, it's practically impossible to see him anymore. It seems he's gradually moving behind the scenes.

This is something everyone has noticed: starting this year, Jiang Yu has begun making movies. He's not just acting; he's also directing and screenwriting now, giving the impression of wanting to move from in front of the camera to behind the scenes. This has left many feeling a little disappointed. After all, everyone wants to see Jiang Yu in front of the public, especially his fans. They all want to see him more often, more on camera, and want to see him properly.

However, judging from various reports and the frequency with which Jiang Yu has appeared in public this year, it seems that Jiang Yu is indeed in a semi-retired state.

The announcement of the new variety show "Go Fighting!" has given everyone hope again, as if Jiang Yu is about to start working again.

"Wow, Jiang Yu is finally going to start working again! It's been so long, we can finally see Jiang Yu on a new show again."

"Oh my god, a brand new outdoor reality show! I remember the last time Jiang Yu participated in an outdoor reality show was last year's 'Singing While Walking', right? It's been so long, I haven't seen Jiang Yu on a variety show in ages."

"Hey, did you guys see that? Besides Jiang Yu and Brother Chao being guests, Jiang Yu is also the writer and investor for this variety show."

"Hey, I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it. Jiang Yu is actually one of the screenwriters and investors. This variety show was co-produced by him, Xu Ya, Producer Xu, and Tencent Video."

"Holy crap, what's going on here? Jiang Yu just finished venturing into the film and television industry, and now he's going into the variety show industry? It's one thing to be a screenwriter and director for film and television dramas, but now he's starting to do variety shows. Is there anything you can't learn?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to look forward to it. Jiang Yu is the screenwriter for this variety show. It seems pretty good. I'm really looking forward to it, especially with this lineup. Jiang Yu and Brother Chao are both celebrities I really like. I'm really excited."

……

Meanwhile, online, news about Jiang Yu and his team's new variety show, "Go Fighting!", has generated considerable buzz and discussion, especially among netizens who are eagerly anticipating its release. Many celebrities, artists, and producers in the industry were also slightly surprised upon seeing the news; they were astonished that Jiang Yu had suddenly switched careers to producing variety shows.

Previously, everyone thought that Jiang Yu was now focused on film and television production, after all, he had switched careers to become an actor, screenwriter, and director.

Now, before his film and television works have even been released, he has suddenly turned around and entered the variety show industry, which has indeed surprised many people in the industry.

Is this guy really just bored out of his mind? Why does he have to meddle in every industry?
However, many people understand Jiang Yu's thinking. Jiang Yu now owns his own company, and he has already achieved top-tier status in the music industry. Through his company, he has become a leading player in the domestic music business. Finally, he has also invested in film, television, and film productions. Leaving aside the films, none of Jiang Yu's movies have been released yet, but his television dramas have achieved remarkable success, such as "The Lost Tomb." This drama series can be considered a blockbuster in the past two years, even surpassing Warner Entertainment, the so-called leader in the domestic television drama industry.

This TV series propelled Jiang Yu's company to new heights in this business, establishing Jiang Yu and his company in the film and television industry.

Now, Jiang Yu has turned his attention to the variety show industry. It's clear he's ambitious; he wants to excel in all aspects, including music, film, television, and variety shows. He even owns the copyright to his own IP novels.

From all of this, many people in the industry realized something: Jiang Yu seemed to be building his own entertainment empire.

However, people are now quite curious about Jiang Yu's new variety show, "Go Fighting!", given the many miracles he's created in the past. Instead of thinking Jiang Yu is just messing around, people are actually quite curious and looking forward to its release. However, many also don't want to see Jiang Yu's success flop. They hope this variety show he's investing in and producing will be a flop.

If Jiang Yu were to achieve such success in every field, allowing his company to establish a firm foothold and even grow stronger in each, it would be a disaster for many in the industry.

The better Jiang Yu's business develops, the more profits Jiang Yu's company gains, and the smaller their share of the pie becomes. This is something many bigwigs in the industry don't want to see.

Jiang Yu's new variety show is about to air, and everyone is curious about how it will turn out. However, many are also hoping to see Jiang Yu's career suffer a major setback; hopefully, the show will flop.

Time flies, and the day for the broadcast of "Go Fighting!" has arrived in the blink of an eye. The first episode of this variety show will premiere tonight on Tencent Video.

From the moment this variety show was officially announced, everyone was very excited because they saw that it was a variety show Jiang Yu was involved in, and that it was a show he created with investors and writers.

At 7:30 PM, the first episode of "Go Fighting!" was released on Tencent Video. From the very first episode, a large number of viewers and fans of Jiang Yu and many other guests flocked to support the show.

"It's here! After waiting for so long, this variety show is finally online."

"Yes, I've been looking forward to this variety show ever since it was officially announced. Jiang Yu hasn't been active in the entertainment industry for a long time, and he hasn't even participated in an outdoor variety show like this in a long time."

"Moreover, this variety show was produced by Jiang Yu. He is the screenwriter, so I think the quality of this variety show should be very high."

"Definitely! The scriptwriter for this variety show is Jiang Yu. The producer and director is Xu Ya. Both of them are very famous, especially Xu Ya, who has produced many popular variety shows. This time, she is also the director, and with Jiang Yu's support, I feel that this 'Go Fighting!' will definitely be very good."

"You can't say things too early. You haven't even watched the show yet, how can you know it'll be good? Even if Jiang Yu created this variety show, he's still human. What if this show flops?"

"Exactly, exactly. You guys are making Jiang Yu sound like a god. Even though he's had so many successful works before, nobody can guarantee he'll never flop. Maybe he'll just flop this time on a variety show."

……

At this moment, with the release of the first episode of the variety show "Go Fighting!", many netizens have joined in the excitement, eager to see how Jiang Yu's first variety show turned out.
Meanwhile, Lin Qianqian had also opened Penguin Video. She was eating takeout while watching the first episode of "Go Fighting!", which had just premiered that evening.

She herself enjoys watching variety shows, as they are very entertaining and even great for watching while eating. She had also watched a bit of "Go Fighting!" before, and the presence of Jiang Yu as a guest was enough to pique her interest, not to mention the presence of big names like Deng Chao and Wang Qiang. It's safe to say that the guest lineup for Jiang Yu's variety show is very strong, which is enough to attract many viewers.

Ultimately, whether viewers like your show or not is something they'll only know after watching it. But if you want to attract viewers from the start, many will want to see if your show features any of their favorite guests. If it does, they'll click in. Whether they continue watching depends on the quality of your show's content.

At this moment, Lin Qianqian was eating takeout while watching Jiang Yu's latest variety show, "Go Fighting!". Initially, she watched with a mix of curiosity and anticipation. When she saw the introductions and interactions of the guests at the beginning, especially at the start when Jiang Yu was the first to draw the "wake up" tag—the production team had him get up at 4 AM to wake up the other guests one by one, letting him choose how—Jiang Yu's first choice was to wake up Teacher Wang Qiang. And the method he drew was kissing! This left Lin Qianqian and many other viewers both amused and bewildered.

After that, each guest was woken up in turn by drawing a wake-up method. This wave of wake-ups alone made many viewers both laugh and cry. At the beginning, Lin Qianqian and many viewers were attracted to Jiang Yu and his team's new variety show. Especially later, when the game segment officially started and they were filming outdoors, seeing how openly the guests played the games, and how clever, cunning, and funny they were, especially Lin Yi, who was even tricked by Chao Ge and his friends.

Jiang Yu and the other two teachers seemed quite clever throughout the show, while Chao Ge, Wang Qiang, and Lin Yi appeared rather dim-witted. During the games, they were frequently tricked by Jiang Yu and the other teachers, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Even Lin Qianqian, while eating takeout, couldn't stop laughing.

With the conclusion of the first episode of "Go Fighting!", it immediately became a trending topic. More and more viewers and netizens left comments and discussions under the trending topic after watching the episode.

"Wow, you guys have to watch 'Go Fighting!' right now, it's so good! Jiang Yu and the others are so entertaining. I watched the whole episode tonight and I couldn't stop laughing."

"Haha, absolutely. I only watched this variety show out of curiosity, but I didn't expect that the wake-up call segment at the beginning would attract me so much. Especially the way Jiang Yu drew the method of kissing Teacher Wang Qiang to wake him up, that scene was too beautiful, I can't even imagine it."

"Yes, yes, when I saw this, I really wanted to laugh, especially Jiang Yu. He didn't seem to have any idol image to maintain. He was very relaxed on the show."

"To be honest, Jiang Yu's show 'Go Fighting!' is really good. I highly recommend it to everyone. It's a rare treat to watch while eating. Go check it out!"

"Jiang Yu is so talented! He can write songs, write scripts, and now he can produce variety shows, and such good ones at that. Is there anything he can't do?"

“I feel like he’s gone. He’s an all-around entertainer. He can sing, act, write screenplays, direct, and now he’s doing variety shows. He’s good at everything.”

"To be honest, this variety show is really good. Many people said that Jiang Yu's variety show was going to flop, but now it seems that Jiang Yu's variety show is definitely going to be a hit, and may even have become a phenomenon."

"I really feel that this variety show should be very popular and achieve great results. And judging from the quality, as long as it maintains the quality of each subsequent episode, it will definitely become a phenomenon."
