My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 102 Luoshahai City (seeking full order)

Director Hu was scolded by his boss, his face flushed. He was in his thirties and had worked for so long, but he was still scolded by his boss in front of so many senior executives. But he didn’t dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, because he knew that this matter was indeed messed up, and whether he could keep this position this time was still unknown.

“Boss Jiang, I thought Zhou Yu didn’t dare to withdraw from the competition at first, he…”

However, before Director Hu finished speaking, Boss Jiang interrupted him directly.

“What do you think? I don’t want your opinion, I want my opinion. Look, you did this, Zhou Yu withdrew from the competition, and the incident was exposed. Have you communicated with Jiang Dan properly?”

“If you hadn’t condoned Xingguang and Huatian’s overstepping of authority and allowed them to shift the blame to Jiang Dan, do you think she would have set us up in this matter?”

Boss Jiang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. With such a big incident, their Tao Factory could have taken off this year with the program “Son of Idol”, and could have made a lot of money. But now, with this, they can’t make a shit. Now Penguin is eyeing them covetously and has already started to snatch users and traffic. In addition, the stock price is falling now, and I don’t know how happy the opponent is.

Director Hu nodded quickly: “Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, I know I was wrong. Give me another chance!”

Mr. Jiang just glanced at him and waved his hand: “You are too impatient. Go downstairs and hone your skills for a while.”

Hearing this, Director Hu’s face changed, and other senior executives in the conference room looked like they were watching a good show. Mr. Jiang was going to demote him.

From the department director of the head office to the branch, this demotion is a bit too much.

However, this incident has a huge impact. If it weren’t for Hu Weijun messing around with Xingguang Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment, there probably wouldn’t be these moths.

Even if you want to suppress Zhou Yu, you have to pay attention to the method. The most failed thing is that you put the blame on Jiang Dan and her program team. This woman is a famous iron lady. If you do this to her and let her help take the blame, it would be strange if she doesn’t bite back.

…

Just after the heat of this incident subsided a little, Zhou Yu directly launched a new song.

“New song is coming!”

On Weibo, Zhou Yu officially announced the release of his new song, and included the audio. Now, with this wave of popularity, his Weibo has directly soared to 7 million followers.

Zhou Yu said two days ago that a new song would be released soon, and no one expected it to be released so soon. His fans were a little surprised, not to mention other people.

Less than 20 minutes after the news was released, it was directly on the hot search.

“Zhou Yu’s new song is online!”

Such a lineup is not inferior to those first-line singers and stars.

“Wow, Zhou Yu released a new song so soon, we must support him!”

“Come on, let those people see that even without this show, our Zhou Yu can still be popular!”

“Does this new song count as Zhou Yu’s debut?”

“It shouldn’t count. Generally, singers have to release a new album when they debut. Zhou Yu should just withdraw from the competition and thank himself for the new song he wrote.”

…

Now that Zhou Yu has withdrawn from the competition, he is completely an amateur. This time, releasing a new song does not count as a debut. After all, if a singer wants to debut, he must release a whole album to be considered a debut.

After everyone commented, Zhou Yu also replied: “The album will be released later, let’s look forward to it together.”

Seeing Zhou Yu’s reply, everyone was excited again.

Zhou Yu is going to release a new album to officially debut later. Today’s new song seems to be his own feelings about withdrawing from the competition, or it can be regarded as a way to explore the way for his debut new album.

Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang also saw the news. To be honest, they were a little caught off guard. But now, their energy is focused on reducing the impact of the incident. They are too lazy to care about Zhou Yu’s new song this time.

In other words, even if the song he made for fun is popular, as long as he has not officially debuted, they will not care.

Moreover, it has been pushed too high recently and is at the forefront of the storm. They have to try to reduce their presence as much as possible, so that this matter can pass as soon as possible. It is said that the Internet has no memory. After this period of heat is over, we can find an opportunity to pull up the stock price.

When Zhou Yu is about to release a new album, they will have the time and energy to stop him.

Now, they should be more restrained, otherwise the negative impact will not be reduced.

Wen Shiyi also saw the news that Zhou Yu’s new song was about to be released, and she forwarded the Weibo to help promote it. Yang Qian was no exception, and Teacher Chen Mo followed closely.

Everyone was a little surprised to see that three big stars in the entertainment industry helped Zhou Yu like and forward the new song to promote it, although these were the three mentors who admired Zhou Yu very much in the program. But in this sensitive period, Wen Shiyi and the other three publicly supported Zhou Yu. Aren’t they afraid that Xingguang, Huatian and Tao Factory will be angry?

As soon as the three of them forwarded it, it instantly became a hot search.

“Wen Shiyi checked in for Zhou Yu’s new song!”

“Yang Qian supports Zhou Yu’s new song!”

“Chen Mo forwarded Zhou Yu’s new song!”

…

This surprised many netizens. Zhou Yu hasn’t even made his debut yet, he just casually released a new song, and these three big stars in the entertainment industry came to help promote him.

“Wow! Am I seeing right? Wen Shiyi, Yang Qian, and Chen Mo are here to promote Zhou Yu’s new song.”

“This is normal. They admire Zhou Yu on the show. They probably have a good teacher-student relationship in private.”

“Aren’t they afraid of offending the three companies, Xingguang?”

“What are they afraid of? Wen Shiyi, for example, has always been at odds with Xingguang. And now she is so popular and famous. Many people are begging for cooperation. She is still the boss. Who dares to suppress her? And Yang Qian, she is a top-tier actress and has her own company. She is not afraid at all. As for Chen Mo, he is a fearless person. If Xingguang Huatian touches him, Chen Mo’s fans will probably scold them on the hot search again, and the stock price will fall again.”

…

Wen Shiyi has also opened Penguin Music. Before Zhou Yu debuted, Penguin Music did not recommend any resources to him. But with his super high popularity and the support of his fans, he directly landed at the top of the new song list.

Seeing the name of Zhou Yu’s new song, Wen Shiyi was slightly stunned.

“Raksha Sea City?”

If Wen Shiyi remembered correctly, isn’t this an article in that famous ancient novel? Zhou Yu directly used the story in the classics as the song title?

Not only Wen Shiyi, but also Lin Jiajia chose to listen to it as soon as she knew Zhou Yu had a new song. After all, this is Zhou Yu’s first song after he withdrew from the competition. Although it is not his debut song, everyone has a default idea in their hearts. Zhou Yu’s first song after he withdrew from the competition must have some meaning.

But after seeing the title of this song, Lin Jiajia herself was also stunned.

“Raksha Sea City? Classics as the song title?”

She also remembered that this was an article in a famous ancient book. Why did Zhou Yu use this name as the song title?

Could it be that it has some special meaning?

Not only Lin Jiajia and Wen Shiyi, but also Chen Mo and Yang Qian were stunned after seeing the song title.

Is the title of this guy’s new song so strange?

This is the first time they have seen a classic as a song title.

Netizens are also discussing.

“Huh? Why is this song title so strange? Isn’t this the name of a classic story?”

“Hey, this is the first time I’ve seen someone use a classic as a song title. Does Zhou Yu’s song have some special meaning?”

“Who cares? You’ll know when you listen to it. Anyway, Zhou Yu has never released a bad song for so long.”

…

Lin Jiajia clicked play, and the prelude sounded. She listened carefully to the song. There were traditional Chinese instruments and modern Western instruments. The combination of the two kinds of music, mostly traditional, made people feel like they were listening to local opera.

“The melody is okay, and the traditional instruments make people feel very familiar.”

When Zhou Yu opened his mouth, Lin Jiajia’s eyes lit up.

“Rakshasa country is 26,000 miles east

Passing Qichong and crossing Jiaohai’s three-inch yellow mud land

Just because there is a Yiqiu River

The river flows through Gou Gouying…”

When Zhou Yu opened his mouth, it was not the traditional pop music singing style, but a kind of Errenzhuan singing style. People who have listened to pop music for a long time will feel a little uncomfortable when they first listen. But slowly, they get used to it.

The song Zhou Yu brought this time is Daolang’s new song “Raksha Sea City” released in the summer of 2023. It was written and composed by Daolang and included in the new album “Mountain Songs Liaozai”. As soon as this song was released, it caused heated discussions. It was widely sung in just three days and occupied the top spot on the new song list. It even made it to the media’s hot search list, with tens of millions of attention.

The reason why this song is so popular is not because

The melody of the song is not good, the song is not good, but because of the controversial lyrics of the song. The whole song is full of irony and criticism, which is in sharp contrast to the current music scene, which either instills spiritual chicken soup, sings praises, or talks about love. It is a breath of fresh air. Moreover, this song satirizes some chaos in the entertainment industry, satirizes some people, and makes innuendos, which has aroused widespread speculation among netizens.

Zhou Yu chose Daolang’s “Rakshasi Haishi” this time, and he also had such considerations. He directly added fuel to the fire. He has long been fed up with the chaos in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, he has also checked the song titles. The historical process of this world is similar to that of the previous life, except for the development of modern entertainment.

So this song is also quite suitable.
