In fact, the essence of human nature is the same for everyone. Everyone has their own troubles, wants to rebel against authority, longs for beautiful friendship and love, and hates elders who pretend to know everything.
So when I was studying in the UK, even if some people discriminated against me, I didn't distance myself from them or be afraid of them.
Instead, I need to understand their core culture, understand what they care about most, because only then, when I retaliate with insults, can I make them feel pain.
At this point, both Dou Wentao and Lu Yu laughed.
"So your understanding of their core culture had nothing to do with songwriting?"
"Of course it doesn't matter. I was only ten years old at the time. As a Chinese person studying in the UK, there was always the objective existence of invisible discrimination and bullying."
If you feel scared and you run away every time, they will only become more aggressive.
Even when you're not fluent in the language, you can't even retaliate; they'll just laugh at you.
So I thoroughly studied their culture, understood what they cared about and what caused them pain, and then, during arguments, I was able to use the most precise and visceral methods to inflict deep pain on them.
At this point in Tang Yu's story, Lu Yu asked a question out of curiosity.
"I'm actually a little curious because you are very, very beautiful, the kind of beauty that is recognized by both the East and the West."
Logically speaking, a girl like you should be very popular. I never expected you to experience bullying and discrimination.
This topic made Tang Yu chuckle.
"Beauty, when paired with weakness and vulnerability, will be a fatal disaster."
Being beautiful might bring me some preferential treatment in life, but it actually brings more malice and exploitation, because if you're too beautiful, many people will covet you.
Actually, I've met many good people and many bad people throughout my life.
Why do I know martial arts? Because I've been in so many fights; I've trained since I was a child.
This was a rather profound topic, and Dou Wentao asked about it directly.
"Actually, judging from your appearance and physique, I can't tell that you are very good at martial arts."
"I look thin, right? It's just that foreign food is so bad that I can't gain weight even if I want to."
Tang Yu chuckled and made that comment before continuing.
"Some things are innate, like my talent for music. From the moment I started learning, I felt like I was born with this instrument."
As for martial arts, my fighting ability has improved rapidly since I was a child, and I seem to be a natural strongman.
Even if a tall, strong boy challenges me to a fight, he can't beat me because I'm very strong.
This topic piqued the curiosity of Dou Wentao and Lu Yu. Tang Yu had prepared an apple before going on the show, so she crushed it in front of them.
"In your experience growing up, what were the common reasons for getting into fights?"
Lu Yu's question reminded Tang Yu of many reasons.
"Actually, there are many reasons for conflict. If a girl is causing trouble for you, it might be because the boy she likes likes you."
If a guy is giving you trouble, it could be because he wants protection money, or it could be because he was rejected when he was pursuing you.
There's no such thing as jealousy; it's just that they don't like you, or maybe the teacher likes you too much. There are many reasons.
When you hate someone, even their breathing seems wrong.
After Tang Yu answered the question, Dou Wentao asked it again.
"So violent communication is common in your life?"
Tang Yu laughed out loud.
"It's not common now. This mainly happened when I was around ten years old, because we were all a group of immature teenagers who were very impulsive."
Sometimes, even if you don't want to fight back, the other person will. What can you do then? You can only retaliate in kind.
And sometimes, there are people in this world who can't be communicated verbally; you beat them up, and then they start speaking like human beings.
"I don't advocate using violence to solve communication problems. After all, we have mouths, and if a problem can be solved with words, then it should be solved with words."
But if you really encounter a violent and bizarre person, please run away immediately, because I actually have a chance of winning a fight; most people don't have my talent.
Everyone burst out laughing when he said that.
"So later I switched to arguing, and learned multiple languages just so I could output something when I was arguing?"
Lu Yu's words made Tang Yu laugh out loud.
"Many people are also curious as to why I have a bold and unrestrained image abroad, and why I can argue with reporters on the spot."
It's not that I'm impatient, but rather that the rules of survival are different.
We Chinese may value politeness and friendliness, and believe in leaving room for future encounters, but that's not the case abroad.
Their social rules are essentially based on the survival of the fittest. Don't listen to their talk of fairness and justice, or their spirit of contract; it's fundamentally a society where the strong prey on the weak.
"The pie is only so big, and the distribution of benefits is not equal; we need to take the initiative to fight for it."
If I barge in and try to take a slice of the pie, then some people will definitely be hostile towards me, which will lead to business competition. Why should these people give me a friendly look?
This is a life-or-death struggle for interests. If you do well, others' market share shrinks. You can't win resources through politeness and friendliness; they'll only think you're easy to bully.
"So abroad, my personality seems sharper, because if you give in a little bit, they think they can take advantage of you."
Only when you suppress them with your strength will they talk to you like a human being and cooperate with you properly.
Because they essentially only worship the strong, whether you win by insults or by fighting back, it's their way of showing respect.
These profound insights made both of them think deeply.
"Do you think their sense of contract, fairness, and justice are all fake?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's question, Tang Yu smiled and answered.
"It can't be said to be fake. Let me put it this way: why would someone flip the table and break the rules? Because the rules are unfair to them."
Why do some people succeed in overturning the rules? Because many people feel the rules are unfair. When the majority of people rebel against the rules, then the rules become meaningless.
"When they talk about fairness, justice, and the spirit of contracts, it's because most of them can benefit from this framework, so they are willing to talk to you about the rules."
If one day this rule prevents the vast majority of them from benefiting, they will break the contract. This is a matter of human nature, and no one in the world is an exception.
After Tang Yu finished speaking with a smile, Dou Wentao quickly brought the topic back.
"Although you are young, you have truly seen through the essence of life. No wonder you have achieved success in your career at such a young age."
Inception performed very well at the box office overseas and received positive reviews. What do you think was the biggest takeaway from making this film?
Tang Yu lowered her eyes and smiled.
"I expect to receive many scripts in the future, since people have generally recognized my acting skills this time."
Do you have any plans to film anything next?
When Lu Yu asked this question, Tang Yu smiled and shook her head.
“Singing is my main profession, while acting is something I’m interested in. So I’ll only act again if I encounter a script I like and an interesting role. But I probably won’t act much in my life.”
With that topic discussed, the episode was almost over, and the three of them were still chatting and laughing towards the end.
Dou Wentao smiled and told Lu Yu about their meeting earlier that day.
"I was truly shocked by Ms. Tang Yu's arrival today, because in all the people I have interviewed in my life, she is truly the most beautiful and stunning person I have ever seen."
"Brother Wentao is still so good at praising people."
"You must have heard too much praise like this, so you don't feel anything when you listen to me."
Everyone chatted and laughed, and then the episode ended.
When this episode aired, longtime viewers of "The Three Musketeers" started discussing Tang Yu's performance.
This episode's topic was truly insightful and interesting.
[I've updated three chapters, so that's all for tonight. See you tomorrow!]
Chapter 27 Tang Yu 27
"To be honest, I had never watched this show before. After watching this episode, I understand why my sister was willing to go."
Indeed, discussing topics in greater depth can combine entertainment with intellectual interest.
"Sister Yu is so honest. I used to think that she became famous because of her talent."
After watching this episode, I feel that Sister Yu can succeed at anything she does. She's completely unaffected by superficiality; she's so clear-headed!
"The thought that my sister learned so many languages just to win arguments makes me laugh."
With that kind of competitive spirit, you'll succeed at anything, sister!
"Tang Yu was talking about her career experience, but she seemed to have seen through the essence of Western society. No wonder she looked down on the group of people opposite her. The difference in their perspectives was indeed too great."
"It feels like Tang Yu wasn't talking about her own career; she even saw future social trends, suggesting that competition would be fierce."
"Even though he's a singer, I could hear the feeling that the future world situation would undergo tremendous changes."
Viewers had varying opinions on this episode; many treated it as entertainment, while others saw it as a joke.
However, ten years later, this episode suddenly became a hit.
It was only then that many people understood what Tang Yu was saying on the show.
However, at this point, the booming economic trend doesn't allow people to think too far ahead.
Therefore, more people are interested in Inception, which is about to be released.
"Besides acting in movies, Sister Yu is also in charge of post-production music. She's a true all-rounder."
"It's received rave reviews overseas, and our movie is only being released two months later. I'm really looking forward to it."
"Looking back, Sister Yu was only 20 years old. She is a model of early fame."
"I hope the movie is a big hit; it's really good!"
A few days later, the movie was released.
The long-waiting fans rushed to the cinema immediately.
The top-notch audiovisual spectacle and captivating plot have kept countless viewers discussing the ending even after the movie has ended.
