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

So in the second half of 2015, both of them were busy with their careers.

On Tang Yu's side, filming with the male lead Bai Jingting went very smoothly.

The two, born in 92 and 93 respectively, exude youthful energy.

Although Xiao Nai is older than Weiwei in the TV series, in real life Tang Yu is one year older than Bai Jingting.

However, it didn't have much of an impact. When the two stood together, they looked like the most beautiful and handsome students on campus.

Full of collagen, it exudes the youthful energy of a college student.

After filming wrapped up in November, Tang Yu took a complete break.

At this time, Zhang Ruoyun's "Sparrow" had been completed, while "Fifteen Years to Migrate" was still being filmed.

When Tang Yu visited the set, she laughed hysterically.

Seeing Zhang Ruoyun's face acting out a tragic love story with the female lead, she could only be distracted from the role.

Fortunately, the actors had a very strong sense of conviction, and Tang Yu just quietly smiled from the side.

After the director called the time, Zhang Ruoyun returned to his seat to rest, and Tang Yu laughed beside him.

"Pei Shangxuan, your love life is so tragic!"

Zhang Ruoyun picked up the thermos, took a sip of water, and then spoke to Tang Yu without hesitation.

"What does Pei Shangxuan's tragic love life have to do with me, Zhang Ruoyun?"

I'm a winner in life! Someone named Tang Yuyu is head over heels in love with me, and I'm so touched!

Tang Yu laughed so hard she grabbed the other person by the neck.

"Then what am I supposed to do? I, Liu Yu, like you so much, do you only want that Tang Yuyu? Can't you give me half of your heart?"

Zhang Ruoyun immediately reached out and hugged the other person.

"Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wildflowers! I'll share half with you!"

After the two drama queens finished their performance, Sun Yi, standing to the side, spoke with mixed feelings.

"Are you two together because you like to talk nonsense?"

Tang Yu laughed heartily, and Zhang Ruoyun nodded in agreement.

"We don't create gossip, we're just gossip carriers. Talking nonsense is good for health and longevity!"

As soon as Zhang Ruoyun said this, Tang Yu started imitating him.

"We don't have jokes, we're just joke delivery trucks, spouting nonsense to make you laugh until you squeal like a goose!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm really fed up with you two. That Gossip Growth Association is practically turning you two into charcoal, isn't it?"

Tang Yu and Zhang Ruoyun exchanged a glance, then spoke indifferently.

"A clown, don't bother with him."

After Tang Yu accompanied Zhang Ruoyun to finish filming the last few days of scenes, the two went abroad for a vacation.

They were busy from beginning to end all year and didn't get a proper rest.

Taking advantage of the free time at the end of the year, the two wanted to take a vacation and relax.

After the Spring Festival in 2016, Zhang Ruoyun joined the cast of "Novoland: The Castle in the Sky," while Tang Yu began promoting her previously filmed crime drama, which was later approved and renamed "Echoes of Life and Death."

This drama praises the police, so it's considered a positive message.

However, the major provincial satellite TV stations did not dare to take the risk, so it was eventually broadcast on CCTV-8, since only CCTV had more freedom.

There are ten cases in total, each spanning four episodes, which eventually connect to form a major case, making the pacing very fast.

After it aired on CCTV-8, the ratings rose every day.

When the broadcast was halfway through, the online viewership data exploded.

As the female lead in this TV series, Tang Yu completely shed her previous historical drama image, allowing the audience to see another side of her.

Therefore, after the entire series finished airing, Tang Yu's reputation became very good.

In the past year or two, traffic stars seem to have become the biggest controversy on the Internet, and popular stars seem to be ridiculed for their poor acting skills and bad lines.

However, Tang Yu started acting from "My Own Swordsman". Even back then, her acting skills were already very strong. You could understand what was being said without looking at the subtitles.

She has never dubbed any of the dramas she filmed after she became an adult, so those who want to criticize her acting skills can only resort to baseless attacks.

Especially in this crime thriller, Tang Yu experiences the feelings of the deceased every time she comes into contact with them, so her performances always have to portray the feeling of being on the verge of death.

After watching the show, many viewers praised the lead actor's acting skills in their reviews.

When Sister Wen saw the data for this TV series, she spoke up confidently.

“We can start working on the award now. Even if you win it, no one will say it’s a rigged award.”

Tang Yu smiled helplessly.

"If we're going to start spending money to treat people to meals, then let's follow the proper procedures. Let's just forget about any unreasonable demands."

As a currently popular female celebrity, Tang Yu has both hit TV dramas and hit movies, so her net worth has increased several times in the past two years.

If she wanted, she could immediately earn 100 million yuan to film a TV series.

However, the scripts that were handed over were too rough, with only a few episodes written. It was entirely predictable that the scripts would be revised on set later.

It's probably because hot money has poured into the film and television industry that there's an unbelievable amount of money in this circle.

When Tang Yu went to social events, she could clearly sense that people in this industry had become restless, and no one seemed interested in writing scripts seriously.

The top screenwriter simply opened a studio, wrote an outline, and then had ghostwriters write the script—it's utter nonsense.

A famous director trained a few apprentices, then took the money and went off to have fun while his inexperienced apprentices were put in charge of filming on set.

Therefore, Tang Yu felt that half of the scripts she received were utter nonsense, so she became too lazy to take on outside projects and instead focused on developing new scripts herself.

Because she turned down roles from many big companies, rumors about her spread like wildfire.

If they don't give you face and want you to film, they'll spread rumors and smear articles all at once.

Since the script wasn't finished yet, Tang Yu simply became a guest performer at the Music Academy.

She sang on this music program one minute and that music program the next, ignoring all the negative articles about her online. She went straight into the music industry and became a star!

She also wrote a rock song called "Nonsense," which was a genuine satire of these people.

This song caters to young people's aversion to the awful, domineering older generation in real life. Which young person hasn't encountered a boss or elder with a domineering older generation in real life? Who doesn't hate this kind of person?

Tang Yu's satire was spot-on, and it made the song a hit.

During the interview, the reporter asked very practical questions.

"Yu Yu's song resonates a lot with young people. What was Yu Yu's state of mind when she created it?"

"When a bunch of people make you eat spoiled food and say that this bowl of spoiled food is actually very delicious, I can't help but write a song to make everyone laugh and let them know what it feels like to eat spoiled food. It's utter nonsense."

This interview went viral, and Tang Yu's online nickname changed directly from Yu Yu to Sister Yu.

When Li Xian visited the set of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming", he gave Tang Yu a thumbs up.

"Sister Yu, Qin Ming is filming up ahead, please wait a bit."

Tang Yu sat down next to him and then spoke with a smile.

"Brother Xian, you're clearly a year older than me."

"What does it matter? In front of you, I feel it's more appropriate for me to call you 'sister'!"

Tang Yu chuckled, then asked about the filming progress.

After Li Xian said they had filmed halfway through, Tang Yu smiled and started talking about something.

"Did you know? I agreed to make a cameo appearance in this movie."

Who are you playing as in a cameo role?

Tang Yu smiled and revealed the mastermind behind it all: the boss lady. Li Xian's eyes widened instantly.

"Are you two cursed? Before, when Yun Ge played a psychopathic lawyer in your TV series and seduced you, you shot him dead in the TV series!"

Now you're playing the ultimate psychopath, the landlady, specifically tormenting Qin Ming. Do you two have some kind of special fetish?

Tang Yu laughed heartily as she saw Zhang Ruoyun walking over after finishing filming.

As soon as she reached out her hand, Zhang Ruoyun leaned down and kissed it, then took Tang Yu's hand and sat down next to her.

"Brother Xian found out I'm going to be the boss lady for a cameo role, and he just said we're toxic. Do we have some kind of special fetish?"

Zhang Ruoyun turned to look at Li Xian and chuckled softly.

"This is the legendary love-hate relationship! They love each other in real life and fight each other in movies and TV shows. How interesting is that?"

Li Xian put one hand to his forehead and sighed deeply while looking at the ceiling.

"You two are a match made in heaven, I'm impressed!"

Chapter 18 Home with Kids 18

Tang Yu's cameo scenes were filmed in just three days.

After that, Tang Yu's movie began filming in the second half of the year.

This movie is a fantasy adventure called "Fox Spirit Jiu Jiu". After being abandoned by her parents, Jiu Jiu, a fox spirit, was adopted by humans.

Having grown up in the human world, Jiu Jiu encountered various forms of discrimination, which made her want to return to the demon realm to find her kindred spirits.

The film is currently planned as a trilogy: the first part is about finding relatives, the second part is about causing havoc in the demon realm, and the third part is about killing one's father and growing into a demon king.

Of course, the plan is very ambitious, but the key is to see how well the first part performs.

This film requires massive special effects and a fantastical and magnificent imagination of the demon realm.

So after the film project was established, it took several years of preparation to complete the script for the first film and to build the worldview of the demon realm.

After all, it's a fantasy special effects movie, so it definitely needs to have eye-catching special effects.
