My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The next day, Yang Kunliang, the CEO of Penguin Video, got up and saw the live broadcast data of “Son of Idol” from Taoyuan last night.

Seeing that their live broadcast data was cut in half this time, CEO Yang was still a little sleepy, but he was gone in a flash. He was so happy that he sent a big red envelope to everyone in the work group. Then he found the WeChat of CEO Huang of iQiyi Video and sent a smug and gloating smile to his old friend and old rival.

“Haha, Lao Huang, you guys are in trouble now, aren’t you in a bad mood now? Do you want me to bring you some good wine tonight?”

Since the last episode of “Son of Idol” was broadcast, Zhou Yu announced his withdrawal from the competition, which caused such a big impact, directly causing the reputation and stock price of Taochang, Xingguang and Huatian Entertainment to be affected. At that time, they saw that this matter was so big, and Zhou Yu later released a new song “Raksha Sea City” to add fuel to the fire, and they knew that the subsequent programs would be in trouble.

As expected, the live broadcast data of the eleventh performance of “Son of Idol” last night was directly cut in half, and even Zhou Yu, who had nothing to do with the program, was sent to the top of the hot search list. During this period, these things brought Zhou Yu popularity and exposure, which was no less than the super exposure resources given by some big companies.

During this period, Zhou Yu’s Weibo fans directly exceeded the 10 million mark. This situation is really surprising, and Zhou Yu’s Weibo dynamic data is very good. His current popularity is not inferior to those top stars in the entertainment industry, and even better.

It is hard to imagine that such popularity and traffic can be possessed by an amateur who has not yet debuted or even just retired.

And…

They seem to be interested in cooperating with Zhou Yu. After all, they see great potential and value in him. Not to mention anything else, just his songs are so popular on the Internet, which can bring good traffic and income to Penguin Music.

The key is that if Zhou Yu’s popularity can make a successful debut, then invite him to participate in some Penguin programs, and the traffic will come, right?

However, the above has been hesitating, probably just wanting to see what Zhou Yu will do next. It is certain that he will release a new album to debut. But what they want to see is Zhou Yu’s value. If his new album is of high quality and popular, they will contact him. Isn’t it just offending the three major companies? Penguin is not afraid. Besides, Starlight, Huatian, and Tao Factory have cooperated for many years. The interests behind them are intertwined. They are competitors of Penguin.

Now such a big thing has happened. The three major companies have been affected. Penguin can’t wait to be happy.

On the iQiyi video side, Mr. Huang saw the message sent by Yang Kunliang and heard his gloating look. He was also very angry and directly replied.

“Get out, I’m angry now, and Hu Weijun is a TM idiot!”

Obviously he had a good hand, but he beat it to pieces. He even suspected that this guy might be an undercover sent by Lao Yang and his team.

Now, not to mention that the program was affected, the company’s image and stock price have plummeted. It is not known when they can rise again.

Now thinking about it, he can’t help but want to slap Hu Weijun twice.

…

As for Zhou Yu, he has been busy with company affairs recently, and now it is gradually getting on track. The company is currently small in scale. It is called a company, but it is actually equivalent to his personal studio. He is not in a hurry. When he has money in the future, he will expand and move to a bigger place.

During this period, after finishing the company affairs, Zhou Yu has been preparing for his new album to debut.

Now everyone is staring at him, and the three major companies may snipe him again. This debut album can be said to be the focus of everyone’s attention, and it must be a blockbuster!

“Mr. Jay, the recording studio will probably have to wait another week and will not be completed until early September.”

The little assistant Yuanyuan told Zhou Yu about the progress of the recording studio. She was a new graduate. When she first heard that she was going to be Zhou Yu’s assistant, the little girl was so excited that she couldn’t sleep all night and chatted with her roommates and friends in the dormitory group until late.

She watched it when the June program was first broadcast

At that time, she had just graduated and was looking for a job while watching TV programs at night to relieve fatigue. At that time, she liked Zhou Yu very much and especially liked his songs. Who knew that the resume she submitted would be recruited by Zhou Yu’s newly opened company.

Being able to work next to your idol and be his assistant is the dream of many fans.

Zhou Yu looked at Yuanyuan, who was only one year younger than him and beautiful. Especially in the summer, she was wearing a professional suit, which made her look like an urban beauty.

“Well, I know. It’s noon now. Let’s go eat first.”

Yuanyuan was very excited. This was her second day to work in the company. She didn’t see the boss yesterday. After seeing him today, she felt that the boss was more beautiful than on TV.

“Okay.”

…

As for Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi, Yang Qian was relatively free recently. She attended an event this morning and went home.

However, as soon as she got home, she received a message from her agent saying that the company had reached an agreement on cooperation with Penguin Video.

“Qianqian, the contract has been settled, but are you sure you want to make anime with Penguin?”

“Well, the domestic animation market has been relatively good in the past two years, and there is great potential. The film and television drama sector is already saturated, and with those old guys around, I can’t make much money. I plan to buy a novel IP adaptation and see how it goes.”

In the past two years, domestic animation has developed relatively well, and she and several shareholders of the company are optimistic about this market. In addition, IP adaptation has been quite popular in the past two years, and it is very popular in the animation sector. She also decided to participate in the animation sector. While it is still in the early stages of development, she might be able to bite off a large piece of the pie.

“Okay, I have already negotiated for you here.”

After talking with her agent, Yang Qian suddenly felt that it was probably a bit risky to invest alone in the animation sector. How about finding someone to share the risk?

If you want to buy IP novel adaptations in the future, the IPs of popular and big authors are very expensive, and with the subsequent investment, the expenses are still quite high. Bringing one more person in can reduce the investment risk and cost.

Suddenly, Yang Qian thought of her best friend Wen Shiyi. She has always wanted to transform. After she started her own company, she only had the music sector. This animation can also be considered as the film and television industry, so she can try it out.

Yang Qian immediately sent a message to Wen Shiyi: “Shiyi baby, I have a new project here, do you want to try it?”

Wen Shiyi was also resting at home. Seeing Yang Qian’s message, she was slightly stunned: “What project?”

Yang Qian roughly said: “The animation sector has been very popular in the past two years, and the development potential is very good. I set up an animation department. The cooperation with Penguin Video has been negotiated. They also support domestic animation…”

She roughly said: “So, Shiyi, do you want to invest and try it?”

Wen Shiyi thought about it. The animation industry is indeed very potential. She has always wanted to transform. The development of the company depends on her, and there is only one sector, music, which is too single. Moreover, in the traditional film and television industry, the interest chain has long been clearly divided. Yang Qian relied on so many years of hard work to bite off a small piece of cake in the film and television industry. It would be difficult for a newcomer like her to enter the industry. This animation can be used as a breakthrough point.

“Okay, but have you finished the animation script? Or are you going to buy IP?”

Yang Qian sent a helpless expression: “Not yet. I just reached an agreement with Penguin Video today. My department has just been established. I think it is difficult to create original works. I want to try to buy popular novel IPs to adapt animations.”

Wen Shiyi nodded. It is indeed very difficult to create original animations. Maybe she will lose everything after investing tens of millions of yuan. The popular animations now are all IP animations adapted from the popular novels of the year. They have a huge original foundation. Even if they are not popular, they will not be popular.

“That’s fine.”

“Well, after the recording of Idol Son is over this month, I will go and see if there are any good IPs.”

Wen Shiyi chatted with Yang Qian for a few more words, and then Zhou Yu sent him a message.

“I’ve been bothering you recently. I’m starting a company, and you and Sister Lin have helped me so much. I’ll treat you to a meal someday when I have time.”

Wen Shiyi saw the message Zhou Yu sent, and her eyes flickered: “It’s okay.”

“Thank you anyway, oh, and Teacher Yang Qian, she also helped a lot. I just sent her a message to thank her and was going to invite you to dinner when I have time, but she didn’t reply to me.”

Wen Shiyi

Yi frowned slightly. Was she chatting with him and Yang Qian at the same time?

This guy, playing both sides?

Bah, bah, what is playing both sides? He and I have nothing to do with each other.

“She is busy with animation, so she probably doesn’t have time.”

Wen Shiyi replied casually. Zhou Yu was slightly stunned when he saw the message.

“Animation?”

Wen Shiyi briefly talked about the animation investment that she and Yang Qian had just talked about, but thinking that Zhou Yu had asked about it, she asked back.

“Why? Do you want to invest?”

This guy made a lot of money from him.

Zhou Yu showed a thoughtful expression. Animation, this sector is still in its infancy in the world now, and the market potential is huge. It is a big piece of cake.

“Investment is fine, but can I be the screenwriter again?”

Thanks to book friends ShelterLi and Datang Xiansen for voting for the monthly ticket!
