Camera flashes went off wildly.
The traffic fans and the long-awaiting Ting Yu fans let out incredibly passionate cheers at this moment.
"Let's invite the world-class producer Ting Yu and his singer group Lin Yan Yu, Gong Ju Ren, Jiang Xiao E, and Zhang Wei to the autograph stage!"
The host's voice rang out.
Su Yu was in a handsome suit, while Lin Yan Yu wore a white gauze evening gown adorned with shimmering fine diamonds.
Behind them, Gong Ju Ren, Jiang Xiao E, and Zhang Wei walked side by side.
"I have to admit, Ting Yu is just too cool!"
"He could clearly make a living just by his looks, but he insists on relying on his talent..."
"If Ting Yu doesn't become a top star whether he's a singer or an actor in the entertainment industry, it would be a disrespect to this face!"
"Lin Yan Yu is also very beautiful, and I find her more and more captivating. She's simply a combination of purity and allure, the dream of countless men!"
"These two are simply a perfect match. And generally, hot artists are always surrounded by scandals, but Ting Yu and Lin Yan Yu seem to have no scandals. I don't believe paparazzi aren't watching them all the time."
"Didn't Yang Hong, the top paparazzi in the entertainment industry a while ago, say that he staked out Ting Yu for two months? This guy is just a homebody in private, he doesn't even go to entertainment venues. When he's not working, he just stays with Lin Yan Yu, and they were even photographed going to the supermarket to buy groceries!"
The audience chattered amongst themselves.
The reporters here were all veterans of the entertainment industry, and many had been paparazzi before.
Their primary focus was on the private lives of Ting Yu and Lin Yan Yu. However, there was a persistent legend in the industry: never try to stake out Ting Yu, because not only would you waste your time, but you might even get addicted to games.
Why would one get addicted to games?
Because staking out Ting Yu was too boring. Other stars would have some gatherings or entertainment activities to varying degrees.
But when Ting Yu wasn't working, he almost never went out. Even if he did go out, it was to accompany Lin Yan Yu shopping, or to visit supermarkets and wet markets.
He rarely went to entertainment venues like bars or KTVs.
There was a legend in the industry that a certain paparazzi staked out Ting Yu for three months, captured only a few photos, but managed to raise his game rank to Honor King. He then quit his job as a paparazzi and became a streamer to broadcast games.
Even so, many paparazzi still rushed forward. After all, Ting Yu's current popularity was undeniable. As long as they could catch a whiff of his scandal, the paparazzi and the entire company could make a fortune. Although this hope was very slim, opportunity and risk coexist, and paparazzi from many gossip websites would give it a try.
Despite so many paparazzi staking him out, Ting Yu still hadn't generated any scandals, which alone earned him the admiration of everyone in the industry.
...
Su Yu led Gong Ju Ren and the others to the autograph stage.
"Teacher Ting Yu, please sign your name at this spot." The host led him to a designated area.
Su Yu glanced at it and his brow furrowed slightly. Many spots on the autograph stage were already signed, but only this one remained, with seasoned industry veterans like Jiang Qian and Fang Ling Yu beside it.
After signing his name, Su Yu looked to the side.
Lin Yan Yu, Gong Ju Ren, and the others also signed their names at the autograph stage.
Then, they all moved to the front of the stage to accept interviews from reporters.
Gong Ju Ren and Jiang Xiao E were surrounded by reporters, and Su Yu and Lin Yan Yu were also swarmed.
"Teacher Ting Yu, do you have any special expectations for this Entertainment Gala?" a reporter asked.
"No great expectations, just here to join the fun," Su Yu said with a slight smile, shaking his head.
The reporter was immediately stumped.
Everyone knew he was the main star tonight, and he claimed to be just joining the fun.
"Let me! Let me ask!" A young girl, holding a microphone from an entertainment website, squeezed her way in front of Su Yu. "Teacher Ting Yu, netizens are asking when you'll release new songs again. Everyone is eagerly waiting."
This girl was not only an entertainment reporter but also Ting Yu's most loyal fan. She asked the question that many netizens wanted to ask the most.
That is, when exactly will Ting Yu release new songs!
For a moment, the noisy scene fell silent.
"This..." Su Yu knew that people online were urging him to release songs, but he didn't expect someone to push him at the gala.
He did have a lot of songs, and he even possessed the resources of an entire Earth. However, this didn't mean he could release songs indefinitely. Firstly, many netizens were right: he had reached this point, and releasing mediocre songs would not only be ineffective but might even cause unnecessary trouble.
After all, Jay Chou was accused of running out of inspiration every time he released an album, but every album became a classic. Even albums of such high quality would be sensationalized by people with ulterior motives. It was better for him not to release songs if he could avoid it.
He didn't lack money anymore and didn't need to compete for rankings. It was like in a martial arts world, once you became the sect leader, it would be inappropriate to fight with the younger generation. Therefore, it was better to release fewer songs.
This was the demeanor that his current status required.
"I've been busy with wedding preparations recently, so I haven't had much energy to think about songs. I will definitely release songs, but perhaps after some time," Su Yu said with an awkward smile.
Anyone could make promises, whether they would be fulfilled was another matter.
"Understood, the new song is related to the wedding!"
"I know, the new song is called 'Will Be Released'!"
"There's news about Ting Yu's new song, it's about the wedding!"
"Damn it, it's only been half a month and you've all gone crazy, learning to over-interpret things. The new song is clearly called 'After Some Time'!"
"He's crazy, when Ting Yu doesn't release songs, netizens all go insane..."
The viewers watching the live broadcast were frantically swiping the bullet comments. Now, whatever Ting Yu said, they would claim it was news about a new song. The phenomenon of the entire nation urging him to release songs had even become a meme.
The entire nation urging for new songs, even playing memes, was something only Ting Yu's fans could pull off.
"I want to ask about the relationship between Teacher Ting Yu and Director Jiang Nan..."
Just then, another entertainment reporter handed the microphone to Su Yu.
The entire venue went silent again!
Because this question was the biggest mystery in everyone's minds.
Everyone said that Ting Yu and Jiang Nan had a good relationship, so good that Jiang Nan's every work had songs written by Ting Yu.
It was likely that even Lin Yan Yu, Ting Yu's closest person, might not have received such treatment.
Hearing this question, Su Yu instinctively took a step back. It wasn't that he was afraid of being attacked, but rather a basic respect for Jiang Nan's identity.
"This question is indeed difficult for me to answer. After the International Film Festival, if Jiang Nan wins an award, you can ask him," Su Yu said with feigned composure.
Lin Yan Yu and the others beside him couldn't help but stifle their laughter at his reaction.
When you ruthlessly criticized the characters in your own film and television dramas, you weren't so hesitant. It turns out you have things to fear too...
