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

Although she managed to avoid the impact thanks to her exceptional body control, she did startle the person in front of her for a second.

Li Ming stared at Tang Yu in shock for several seconds.

How did they manage that dodge and retreat maneuver? Their reaction speed was incredible.

“Jade’s athletic talent is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. Is there any trouble for her? Does she need any help?”

Tang Yu first shook her head subconsciously, then she remembered something important.

"Leon, are you familiar with Sister Manyu? I'd like to have someone introduce me to her; I have something I'd like to discuss with her."

If you two aren't familiar with each other, don't mind me. I just happened to run into you and it reminded me of the movie "Comrades: Almost a Love Story."

The magazine issue isn't really in a rush, but some things can be discussed in advance.

Therefore, Tang Yu, with her career-oriented mindset, is seizing every opportunity in her life.

"You've watched 'Comrades: Almost a Love Story' too?"

Li Ming smiled, and Tang Yu laughed too.

"Of course, I watch Hong Kong's outstanding films every year when I go back to Hong Kong."

Leon, you're so handsome! We girls all love watching your movies.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming first nodded with a smile, and then asked about the important matter.

What is it about Manyu that you're looking for?

"I just wanted to invite her to shoot a magazine cover and do an interview, to connect my friend with her."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming immediately felt relieved.

"I'll inquire about this for you first, and if the other party is interested, I can introduce you two."

Tang Yu immediately smiled.

"Leon, you're beautiful inside and out. I'll definitely treat you to a big meal after this is all done!"

[The handsome guys in this episode will date one after another; don't worry about who the male lead is, there isn't one yet!]

Chapter 6 Supermodel 6

The grand celebration lasted for several days, with people from all walks of life being interviewed daily by television and newspapers.

There were foreign media, local media, and media from mainland China.

The basic question was about what the outlook was for the future after returning home, and most people shared their thoughts based on their own professions.

When Tang Yu was interviewed by TVB.

When asked about her plans after returning to the workforce, Tang Yu smiled and answered.

"At the beginning of the year, I traveled to Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places. Next year, I plan to climb Mount Everest. This is our country's land, and I want to reach the top and see it."

This answer surprised the reporter, but Tang Yu's image was already well-known to the people of Hong Kong.

So upon closer reflection, this decision doesn't seem so surprising.

However, after the interview aired on television, other media outlets also reprinted the news, and soon CCTV and mainland newspapers came to interview her.

Tang Yu agreed to several interviews with mainstream media outlets, responding to her idea of ​​climbing Mount Everest, and has already made contact with the mountaineering team.

"What is the greatest significance of climbing Mount Everest for you?"

"Taking on the most difficult tasks and planning for the farthest goals."

This answer was given to a CCTV reporter and was quickly reported by several mainstream newspapers. Tang Yu was directly praised as a representative of the new generation of young people in Hong Kong.

This truly embodies the indomitable spirit and lofty aspirations of the Chinese people.

Previously, Tang Yu's image was quite like that of a young person who grew up in a Westernized area, somewhat rebellious and unconventional.

As a result, after giving interviews to several mainland media outlets, her image instantly transformed into that of a positive and youthful person pursuing freedom.

The grand return ceremony finally came to an end, and Tang Yu had to go to the United States for work.

Before leaving, she finally met with Maggie Cheung's group, but unfortunately, she did not achieve her goal.

The magazine is planned to launch next year, and the team has just finished preparations. The next step is to determine the topics and style.

Therefore, both Maggie Cheung and Faye Wong held conservative opinions, since they couldn't very well appear in a low-end magazine and be ridiculed.

Tang Yu was not surprised by this result, which is why she cast a wide net.

However, the two had a good talk with Tang Yu, so they didn't completely refuse; they would mainly depend on the preparations for next year.

"If you can't find anyone? How about I do an interview with your magazine?"

Hearing that even the beautiful and kind-hearted Li Ming was willing to help, Tang Yu smiled shyly.

"The style positioning is not suitable, but if the magazine is successful, I will definitely shamelessly ask you to accept an interview in the future."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming stopped dwelling on the topic and asked about something else.

Are you really going to climb Mount Everest next year?

"How could it be fake? It's best not to do something that would be a slap in the face. I really do have this plan. Lying will make me a laughing stock all over the world."

Li Ming nodded, then suddenly fell silent, quietly drinking the coffee in front of him.

Tang Yu felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she took the initiative to speak.

Are you worried about me? Actually, there's no need to worry. I'm physically strong, and there's a high chance that nothing will happen to me.

If anything unexpected happens, you must believe that my soul will become the free wind and live happily in another time and space.

Death is both an end and a new beginning. Don't worry about a friend who hasn't even encountered danger yet.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Li Ming asked with a smile.

"Before you climb Mount Everest next year, would you like to be the female lead in the music video for one of my new album songs?"

Tang Yu was slightly surprised, then lowered her head and laughed.

"Great, it would be my honor."

After finishing her work in Hong Kong, Tang Yu came to the United States and chatted with Chen Chen.

"How did you convince Ralph Lauren to let me be a model for their Fall/Winter show this year?"

After all, she didn't even go for the interview.

"First, you have a lot of buzz. Second, I showed them the video of you riding a horse. Third, of course, my strong negotiation skills gave them high expectations. They need an Asian face to open up the market."

Ralph Lauren's brand positioning combines adventurous spirit with elegant power, and this year they launched an adventure theme, so your image is quite suitable.

The key issue now is, even after I've packaged you so well, if you don't make a splash on the runway, we might as well stick to being extreme athletes for life.

Tang Yu burst out laughing instantly.

"Don't worry, Sister Chen, I've been preparing to be a model for a long time, ever since I grew to 1.78 meters tall."

In September of that year, Ralph Lauren held its Fall/Winter fashion show, and Tang Yu wore a burgundy velvet hunting jacket—the short cut perfectly revealed her waistline.

The inner layer is an ivory white turtleneck cashmere sweater, the soft knit texture and the sheen of the velvet creating a subtle contrast. The bottom is charcoal gray corduroy straight-leg trousers, the cuffs neatly tucked into distressed leather boots.

As the music began, she walked out of the show, her steps not the traditional catwalk of a model, but with an almost wild composure—each step landing steadily and powerfully, her shoulder line outstretched like an eagle about to take flight, her eyes bright yet carrying a touch of untamed sharpness.

As she walked to the middle of the runway, she turned slightly to the side, raised her hand, and gently lifted the lapel of her hunting jacket. The moment her fingertips brushed against the velvet surface, the wine red color shone with a rich luster under the lights.

When his gaze swept across the front row, there was no deliberate sharpness, but rather a kind of wild composure.

That's the unwavering determination of an extreme athlete facing wind and snow, mixed with a touch of untamed sharpness, yet it's made elegant by the luxury of velvet, like an urban explorer who can turn around and step into the wilderness at any time.

Tang Yu's runway show was a great success, making her a household name in the fashion world.

Vogue praised her for "redefining 'adventure aesthetics' - when the vitality of extreme sports collides with the classic framework of Ralph Lauren, an unprecedented tension is born. She imbues velvet hunting suits with the chill of snow-capped mountains, which is the most expensive interpretation of the spirit of adventure."

WWD went so far as to say: "A non-professional model became the most eye-catching presence of the entire event. She proved that true fashion appeal is never just about catwalk skills, but also about the spirit within one's soul."

Tang Yu, who was originally seen as just a "cross-border gimmick," completely shattered the doubts with this show and made a name for herself.

The fashion world of this era is seeking controversy and buzz, with the editor-in-chief of Vogue pushing for narrative fashion and pursuing more dramatic and dynamic visuals.

So, not long after Tang Yu's successful debut as a crossover model, when Ralph Lauren promoted her in the pages of Vogue, editor-in-chief Anna Wintour took a liking to Tang Yu's expressiveness, controversy, and topicality.

Therefore, Tang Yu took many brand promotion photos this time.

The fashion industry defines her as a model who combines strength and elegance.

The success of this fashion show directly propelled Tang Yu to continue her career as a model.

In October of that year, Tang Yu met Vera Wang, the wedding dress designer.

Tang Yu wanted to invite Wang Weiwei to be interviewed by a domestic magazine, while Wang Weiwei was interested in the fashion symbols that Tang Yu represented.

She wanted to invite Tang Yu to be the model for her brand's wedding dresses in a series of photoshoots.

The two parties quickly reached an agreement and collaborated, resulting in a set of wedding photos that shocked the fashion world.

When the photo of Tang Yu riding a horse in a wedding dress and leaping into the air was published on the cover of Vogue, this visually striking photo became a groundbreaking creation.

Coupled with the rebellious and adventurous spirit represented by Vera Wang's wedding dresses, this avant-garde experiment was a success.

Feminist thought is gradually rising in this era, and this series of photos has been directly interpreted as a metaphor for women breaking free from constraints.

It can be said that Tang Yu's modeling career was very successful.

Its popularity and expressiveness have attracted the attention of other fashion brands.

Chapter 7 Supermodel 7

Since the 1990s, major fashion brands have been seeking new breakthroughs, choosing emerging designers to break away from old conventions and lead the trend of a new era.

Therefore, many fashion shows are looking for new faces and new styles.

I'm not afraid of being criticized for my avant-garde style; I'm afraid of not getting any discussion, of being so mediocre that no one even wants to talk about it.

Therefore, models must have their own style, and ideally, they should be able to generate discussion in major fashion magazines.
