The next day.
“I bought the tofu pudding from outside the neighborhood, this sweet one is for you.”
Lin Yanyu came in carrying two bowls of tofu pudding.
During this period, as Lin Yanyu had not taken on any long-term endorsements, she had been staying at home with Su Yu.
“Thanks, wife.” Su Yu took the sweet tofu pudding.
Because he had been in poor health before and needed to supplement sugar, it had led to his habit of eating sweet things, a habit formed as a person from Chongqing.
“Susu, netizens seem unhappy with your arrangement for Duan Yu.”
Lin Yanyu was eating tofu pudding while browsing online comments about "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." She had been paying attention to the drama and some online reviews recently. Although most were praises, many still commented that Jiangnan was playing with incestuous themes.
“It doesn’t matter, they’ll shut up later.” Su Yu smiled and shook his head.
Although every girl Duan Yu met was his father’s daughter, he wasn’t his father’s son.
This twist was something many viewers wouldn’t expect. Su Yu was looking forward to the audience’s reaction when this plot point appeared, wondering if those who made comments after just a glance would blush.
Of course, he rarely cared about online opinions anymore.
Because now, the internet was almost entirely full of praise for him. Both his identities as Ting Yu and Jiangnan had reached peak status in the domestic entertainment industry.
Although Jiangnan was slightly weaker than Ting Yu in terms of overall popularity and reputation, he was already invincible in the film industry.
The international film festival was approaching soon. As long as he secured the box office king title at the film festival, Jiangnan would also have considerable achievements in the international film scene.
In fact, Su Yu still had many good films in his hands, both domestic and overseas blockbusters, that had not yet had the opportunity to be filmed.
But there were still long days ahead.
As Jiangnan and Xinghui Entertainment went global, he would release these blockbusters one by one.
After all, Su Yu possessed the cultural treasure trove of the entire Earth. He had only utilized a very small portion of it so far. Although custom works required money, Su Yu was no longer short of it.
He had handed over all his song copyrights to Xinghui Entertainment for operation, as well as the copyrights for those movies and TV series.
The copyright fees combined were an astonishing figure, and this money was coming in continuously.
Besides these, he now had a large company like Xinghui Entertainment. Excluding his own copyrights, the net profit each quarter could reach…
If he really calculated it, Su Yu could completely relax now. He had enough money for a lifetime, and even his descendants, as long as they weren't exceptionally spendthrifts, could live very luxurious lives.
Su Yu felt fortunate. He was glad that he had kept all the copyrights in his own hands at the very beginning and met Zhao Yuan, a discerning patron, who helped him successfully establish his fame.
Then, along the way, Lin Yanyu had encouraged him, and Lin Chaoyang had been his “protector,” securing opportunities that were difficult for ordinary people to access.
He hadn't encountered capital obstacles on his journey because his protector, Lin Chaoyang, was the biggest capital in the domestic entertainment industry.
Without Lin Chaoyang, Su Yu might have gained some fame through his works, but he certainly wouldn’t have reached the pinnacle of the domestic entertainment industry, let alone the world’s pinnacle, so quickly.
…
April.
The temperature in Chongqing had warmed up, even feeling like summer.
The plot of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was progressing smoothly.
The romantic storyline between Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu had also emerged.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang’s fans were still waiting for his character to appear.
“Damn it, is Zhang Yang playing a supporting role?”
“Impossible, right? How could a supporting character stand in the front in the stills?”
“The plot is almost halfway through, and he still hasn’t appeared. His screen time is too little!”
“Maybe he’ll play Duan Yu first, then Qiao Feng, and next will be the monk that Yang Ge plays.”
"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" currently focused mainly on Qiao Feng's storyline.
It had to be said that Qiao Feng’s storyline was more passionate than Duan Yu’s. Especially the battle at Juxian Zhuang, drinking the farewell wine with a crowd of martial artists. The incredibly imposing Qiao Feng made the audience feel invigorated.
Moreover, the romantic relationship between Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu was gradually being established.
Therefore, many viewers were even more looking forward to their storyline later on.
Jiangnan continued to be popular.
However, netizens realized they seemed to have overlooked something important.
That was, in the entire month of March, Ting Yu had only released one song, and that song was merely the theme song for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
This kind of situation was normal for other producers, but it was highly unusual for Ting Yu.
“It’s over, Ting Yu has started slacking!” Da Feng Novel Network
“Only one song, I can’t accept it!”
“Everyone, quickly spam that Ting Yu has run out of inspiration, how can we not give him some motivation!”
“Whoever dares to spam that Ting Yu has run out of inspiration will probably be roasted so badly they can’t function in life…”
Once a musician’s reputation and credibility reach a certain level.
In the public's mind, they have already reached their peak. At this point, even if they casually release a song, it will have good data.
If the quality is maintained, it will be a series of classics. But if the quality declines significantly, it will arouse public doubt.
Most musicians, after reaching a certain height, will rarely release songs. One or two bad works might not cause much impact, but as they accumulate, they will shatter the hard-won reputation, which is not worth the loss.
But this is for ordinary musicians.
Ting Yu is different.
He is the peak of the Blue Star music scene, the ceiling of the domestic entertainment industry, with a terrifying song-releasing speed!
“Susu, the public service film airs tomorrow, and I need to go to Kyoto. Do you want to come with me?”
Lin Yanyu received a call from Director Wei. Her environmental short film was about to be broadcast on the documentary channel, and Lin Yanyu, being the most prominent person in the short film, naturally had to be present to participate in the environmental promotion.
Lin Yanyu was very serious about her first work as an actress.
“Go ahead. Director Zhao has called me several times, asking me to release a new song to appease fans. It just so happens that I can go to the program site and sing that theme song,” Su Yu nodded with a wry smile.
Although he now had the qualification to relax, his fans wouldn't allow him to.
A natural workaholic.
“Then I’ll call Director Wei. If he knows you’re going to sing on stage, he’ll be overjoyed.” Lin Yanyu took out her phone and called Director Wei.
If nothing unexpected happened, this environmental documentary should be her last event before her wedding with Su Yu.
The school holidays started early this year, in late June. Her wedding with Su Yu would take place at the end of June.
During this period, Lin Yanyu had pushed back her endorsements. Su Yu, due to his industry status, had very few programs that could invite him, so he had been very idle.
It just so happened that this was a public service program by the official documentary channel. Fans were urging him to release new songs, and Su Yu also felt that he hadn’t been on stage in a while, so he went to help by singing live.
