My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The new TV series is about to be released, but the new TV series is still in its infancy.

Chapter 124: Get rid of Zeng Huayu! (More updates, please subscribe)

Zhou Yu was chatting with Wen Shiyi, but he didn’t feel anything was wrong. These two days are almost all the rehearsal time for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of major TV stations. Less than a week after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be the National Day holiday. During the National Day holiday, the five major TV stations don’t have any gala activities, but above the five major TV stations, CCTV, which stands at the top of the tower, has a National Day gala event.

Because only CCTV is qualified to hold the National Day gala, don’t look at the fact that the five major TV stations in China are doing well, especially Mango TV and Blueberry TV, which are deeply loved by young people. But in front of CCTV, it is just a younger brother. No matter how powerful you are, you are not as powerful as CCTV.

Because the power and significance behind CCTV are not comparable to those of local stations.

If Zhou Yu remembered correctly, Yang Qian had told him before that after attending the local station’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, he would go to CCTV to attend the rehearsal of the National Day Gala.

This time, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi were both invited by CCTV, which was not bad.

“I heard from Teacher Yang that you will go to CCTV’s National Day Gala with her later?”

Wen Shiyi’s eyes flickered, and her beautiful legs overlapped. Looking at Zhou Yu’s boy, she couldn’t help but tighten her hand holding the phone.

It’s Teacher Yang again. Does this guy have so many things to talk about with Yang Qian?

“Yeah.”

After a simple “Yeah”, Wen Shiyi looked at the phone showing that the other party was typing, and kept staring at it, waiting for Zhou Yu’s reply. As a result, the next moment, Zhou Yu asked directly after waiting for such a long time for a reply and thought that this guy was going to say something like pay attention to safety.

“Do you want me to write a new song for you?”

Then the second sentence: “I just happen to be short of money recently. We are old acquaintances, and the price is negotiable (grin).”

Zhou Yu is indeed short of money recently. He has a company and invested in animation, and the expenses are indeed a bit high. This time, knowing that Wen Shiyi will be on CCTV’s National Day Gala, he just happened to have a more suitable song here, which can make money if sold, and maybe he can even help Wen Shiyi get recognition from CCTV.

Wen Shiyi frowned slightly. What does this guy think of himself, an ATM?

But looking at the new song Zhou Yu mentioned, she was still looking forward to it, so she tried to ask: “What type of new song? CCTV has very strict requirements for the songs to be sung at the National Day Gala. If they don’t meet the requirements, they can’t be sung there.”

For example, CCTV is very strict in selecting celebrity artists and songs. Artists with problems will never be used. But as long as you can be selected by CCTV, it means that the official recognizes you, which is very beneficial for a celebrity artist. This is why so many big-name stars participate in CCTV’s activities without pay. Some benefits are invisible and intangible, but when they are really useful, the effect is great.

And for major evening parties like the National Day Gala, the selection of songs is more strict.

“It’s okay. This song is in line with the purpose of the National Day Gala. I’ll send it to you first.”

Zhou Yu directly found the song he had created before and piled up in his music library and sent it to Wen Shiyi. He dared to guarantee that this song was absolutely suitable, and there was no better song for the National Day Gala.

Soon Wen Shiyi received Zhou Yu’s email and looked at the new song he sent. The more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became.

“This song is good!”

The theme of this song is very good, which is very consistent with the purpose of the National Day Gala. Moreover, when Wen Shiyi looked at the lyrics of this song, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

She quickly replied to Zhou Yu: “I will send it to CCTV right away. There should be no problem with this song. I will ask Sister Lin to send the contract tomorrow.”

“It’s still the old rules.”

When Wen Shiyi saw this, her excitement suddenly faded a little. She knew what the old rules Zhou Yu was talking about. The copyright was still the same as before. He would not sell all of it, and now the price of this guy was many times more expensive than before. He also said that he was an old acquaintance and would not give any discount.

However, Wen Shiyi still attached great importance to the songs written by Zhou Yu, because for so long, none of the songs Zhou Yu wrote for her were bad.

This time, as long as CCTV could pass, she felt that this song would definitely be a hit.

It will definitely shine on National Day.

On the CCTV side, Wen Shiyi has sent Zhou Yu’s new song to Director Zhang, the chief director of the National Day Gala.

As a national director, Director Zhang Minghui has participated in every major event. He is already in his early sixties, but his spirit is still very good.

“Director Zhang, Wen Shiyi sent a new song over. She said she wanted to try this song. Do you want to take a look?”

The assistant handed the printed song information to Director Zhang.

“Wen Shiyi? Oh, I remember it.”

Director Zhang didn’t remember who Wen Shiyi was for a while, and it took a while to find the information about Wen Shiyi in his mind. A little girl who just made a comeback this year and is very popular. However, he was a little unhappy about changing the song so close to the rehearsal. If the song is changed, the length will change, which is very troublesome.

There are many such self-righteous stars he encounters every year, and he doesn’t want to see them, but the assistant handed it to him and took a glance. It was this glance that made him stunned.

The assistant looked at Director Zhang like this and thought that the new song sent by Wen Shiyi was not good. Director Zhang was a little angry for disturbing him.

He hurriedly said carefully: “Well, if Director Zhang doesn’t like it, I will just reject it directly.”

However, Director Zhang said excitedly: “No, no, just this one!”

The assistant thought he had heard it wrong, but looking at Director Zhang’s excitement, he knew that it was probably Wen Shiyi’s song that touched him.

“Okay, I’ll reply to her immediately.”

After the assistant left, Director Zhang found Wen Shiyi’s personal information and took a look: “Wen Shiyi…”

“The author of this song is Zhou Yu, and it seems that he has written a song for him before…”

…

As for Zhou Yu, today he participated in the second rehearsal of Strawberry TV. The program list of major satellite TV stations and the schedule have been announced online. Strawberry TV kept Zhou Yu a secret and did not reveal his performance repertoire information, but only said that Zhou Yu brought a new song this time. Zhou Yu also posted a message on his Weibo, asking everyone to look forward to the new songs for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

He also knew that Strawberry TV wanted to attract more people, so he cooperated.

“Oh my god! Is it so secretive? Zhou Yu’s performance repertoire is not announced?”

“Haha, it can be seen that Strawberry TV really wants to use Zhou Yu to increase the ratings, but this does make me curious about Zhou Yu’s new songs.”

“Will it be a song from the new album that will be released this time?”

“Ah? Is this true? If so, I have to go and see it then.”

“Wait, did you notice that Zhou Yu’s performance time is the same as Zeng Huayu’s performance time on Mango TV.”

…

Previously, major TV stations announced the guest lineup, and this time announced the performance information and schedule. Zhou Yu’s performance information was kept secret, which attracted everyone’s attention. As a result, some careful netizens discovered that Zhou Yu’s performance time coincided with Zeng Huayu’s performance time on Mango TV.

Wow, Zeng Huayu targeted Zhou Yu in the show before, but this time outside the show, it’s the first time for the two to confront each other head-on. This evening party is live broadcast, and it will depend on who is more popular.

After all, live broadcast data is very accurate. At this time, which one has more viewers, it means who is better and more accepted by the public, Zeng Huayu or Zhou Yu.

Originally, Zhou Yu’s fans couldn’t stand Zeng Huayu in the show, and this time they finally got a chance, so they naturally wouldn’t let it go.

“Damn! You finally got your chance, Zeng Huayu. Haha, watch carefully and see how Zhou Yu, whom you denied, completely defeats you.”

“This time, I’ll teach Zeng Huayu a lesson. Zhou Yu is not someone he can deny.”

“Performing at the same time, it’s going to be a good show. Haha, if Zeng Huayu loses, it will be really cool.”

“Haha, your Zhou Yu, who hasn’t debuted yet, is worthy of competing with our Huayu? Don’t cry if you lose.”

“That’s right, he went to Strawberry TV, but our Huayu went to Mango TV, and the resource allocation is not comparable to his. Trash like Zhou Yu can only go to this kind of last-place TV station.”

…

All of a sudden, Zhou Yu’s fans and Zeng Huayu’s fans quarreled fiercely on the Internet, and even directly rushed to the hot search.

“Zhou Yu vs. Zeng Huayu!”

“Mid-Autumn Night, the battle between the two Yus!”

“Zhou Yu and Zeng Huayu will perform at the same time!”

…

Zeng Huayu also saw this news, and it coincided with Zhou Yu’s performance time.

He never expected that he would be on the show. Seeing these comments online, Zeng Huayu also laughed disdainfully.

He, an amateur who has not yet debuted, still wants to compete with himself? He also wants to surpass himself in the number of viewers at the same time?

What a foolish dream!

He has always been very confident in his fan appeal, and he is on the famous Mango TV, which has a huge audience base, which is not comparable to the last-place TV station that Zhou Yu went to.

Seeing that the popularity is getting higher and higher, Zeng Huayu is still secretly happy, making a fuss, making the fire bigger, and putting Zhou Yu on the top. If he can’t beat him, he will be in trouble.

On Zhou Yu’s side, seeing this news, he also laughed.

Well, since it’s such a coincidence, he just took this opportunity to settle the account on the show.
