My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The old man was so angry that he was not happy.

Chapter 277 Zhou Yu is a clown?

When Sister Lin heard what Wen Shiyi said, she looked at Wen Shiyi who was sitting beside her. Seeing that her expression did not change, she asked again.

“Shiyi, tell me, what do you think now? You and Teacher Zhou Yu, do you want to give up just like that, or…”

Sister Lin did not finish her words, but observed Wen Shiyi’s reaction.

Xiaoqin was driving the car, and at this moment she leaned back slightly, leaning on the seat, her ears were erected, watching her boss’s reaction through the rearview mirror.

Facing Sister Lin’s question, Wen Shiyi was silent. She was also very conflicted inside now, giving up? But she was unwilling to give up. In their line of work, it was difficult to meet someone who was truly loved and suitable for them. Moreover, Wen Shiyi herself did not know what would happen to her if she left Zhou Yu.

After a long moment, Wen Shiyi shook her head.

“I don’t know either.”

Looking at the neon lights outside the window and the couple walking hand in hand on the street, Wen Shiyi’s eyes were full of complexity.

Seeing this, Sister Lin also sighed.

“You…”

She didn’t know what to say. The most important thing now was the problem with Teacher Zhou Yu. It was impossible for Zhou Yu not to change, or for no one of them to approach him actively. But Sister Lin also knew that Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu, although they seemed to get along easily and simply, were actually very proud of each other. It was very difficult to make them bow their heads.

“You two like each other, but neither of you is willing to compromise. Teacher Zhou Yu doesn’t want to be bound, and wants more freedom. And you want a world for two, the happiness of being together. These ideas are different. Let’s see what you two do.”

Sister Lin shook her head and sighed: “If neither of you makes changes or compromises, I think it’s better to put out the little flame of love that hasn’t burned yet.”

Sister Lin was really not joking. For example, in the current situation of Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi, she felt that if the two of them didn’t change, there was really no need to drag it on. Even if you like each other, love is about sacrifice, and someone needs to compromise and change for love.

If neither of them makes compromises and changes, then even if they are together later, they will definitely have conflicts frequently, and in the end they may not even be friends.

If this is the case, it’s better to let go early.

But Sister Lin looked at Wen Shiyi’s hesitation and knew that she was reluctant.

Wen Shiyi listened to Sister Lin’s words and didn’t speak.

She really didn’t want to give up. She firmly believed that Zhou Yu’s thoughts would definitely change in the future. What she needed now was time, and time to get along with Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu came back from filming, Wen Shiyi felt that she could spend more time with him to enhance their relationship.

Wen Shiyi felt that Zhou Yu was worried that he would not be able to adapt to that kind of life after the two of them were together. Then she could try to get along with him in life, let him feel and adapt first. She really didn’t intend to give up, even if she took the initiative again, she would be willing.

For her own happiness, Wen Shiyi could put down her own posture. And she knew very well that she could not get to this point without Zhou Yu’s help.

For him to put down her posture and take the initiative to pursue Zhou Yu, Wen Shiyi really felt that it was nothing. However, this was also the biggest change she could make in her current position. As for what Zhou Yu said, that he didn’t want to be disturbed after falling in love, or even pursue the freedom he wanted, Wen Shiyi really couldn’t do it.

Looking at the night view outside, and the couples walking hand in hand, each with a happy smile on their face, Wen Shiyi was silent for a long time, and just said “hmm”.

…

This weekend, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi basically had nothing to do. They went to the company from time to time, went shopping together or had a meal together.

Today, Sunday, Yang Qian heard the news from the head of the animation department of the company, saying that “Tian Gang Chuan” was almost completed, and the subsequent episodes of “The Bad Guys” were about 30 episodes, and they were still working on it.

When Yang Qian received this news, she was also happy.

This animated film “Tian Gang Chuan” of “The Bad Guys” has been in production since last year, and it took almost half a year. And this has already mobilized her own company

The staff of Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi’s company, as well as the staff who cooperated with Penguin Video, invested a lot of money and spent so much time on the production.

“Mr. Yang, the animated film will be completed by the end of the month. I have a finished editing clip here, and I will send it to you when the time comes.”

“Okay, just continue to work on the subsequent episodes of “The Bad Guys”. The first season will be finished soon, and we will connect with the annual series.”

Now the twelve episodes of the first season of the animation “The Bad Guys” are almost finished. Twelve episodes, one week, from December to now January, it will end almost after the Spring Festival. At that time, they will cooperate with Penguin to directly announce the annual extra, and then update it.

Now this animation can be said to have made them and Penguin Video earn a lot of money. An original animation that was not favored by everyone at the beginning has gradually become the number one domestic animation, surpassing “Against the Sky” on iQiyi Video at the beginning, and its popularity and data are off the charts.

With this result, the domestic animation deserves the first place!

For the subsequent episodes, Zhou Yu had already prepared the script, and the production team just needed to follow the script.

However, Yang Qian was indeed very excited and surprised. When she first worked with Zhou Yu, she just thought that the script was okay. At that time, she was preparing to enter the animation industry, so she thought about giving it a try. Unexpectedly, this try turned out to be the first in Chinese animation.

I have to say that this try was really right.

Yang Qian looked at the edited clips sent to her, which were only about three minutes long. But some wonderful clips from the movie were edited into it. After looking at the special effects modeling, Yang Qian was quite satisfied.

“Not bad.”

Yang Qian forwarded the WeChat of Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi to them. After all, they were both investors, Zhou Yu was a screenwriter, and now he was her boyfriend, so she must tell him these things.

“The follow-up series of The Bad Guys has been produced to about 30 episodes, and the movie of Tian Gang Chuan will be completed this month.”

Yang Qian asked Zhou Yu: “Are you going to release this movie in theaters? Or what?”

Zhou Yu had just finished filming and watched the clips sent by Yang Qian. He had to say that it was indeed in line with the effect he wanted. It took more than half a year to produce and cost tens of millions, and the effect did not disappoint him.

As for the animation “The Bad Guys”, the follow-up series has been produced to 30 episodes. These 30 episodes are not the progress of the original Earth. Zhou Yu changed and compressed them, accelerated the rhythm, deleted some unnecessary plots, and increased the length.

So one episode is almost the content of two episodes of the original Earth.

These 30 episodes are almost the third season of the original.

As for whether the movie “Tian Gang Chuan” should be released in theaters, Zhou Yu thought about it before replying to Yang Qian: “Let’s not go to theaters. The competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce, and we can’t catch up. The traffic is not large after the New Year. We will broadcast it online and release it in the form of paid online movies.”

In the current situation, “Tian Gang Chuan” can no longer catch up with the Spring Festival. Moreover, Zhou Yu feels that in the current situation, the animation has not been broadcast yet, and the animation “The Bad Guys” needs to establish the role of the Marshal. So we have to wait until next month, and the plot of the animation will be almost in place next month.

And next month, especially after the Spring Festival, until the Lantern Festival, basically everyone has time. The competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce, so Zhou Yu will wait until the heat of the Spring Festival is almost over, and then release it in the form of paid online movies.

It can’t be released in theaters this Spring Festival, so it will be in the form of paid online movies. If he remembers correctly, the animation “Tian Gang Chuan” was also released in the form of online movies on Earth, and the results are still impressive.

The key is that the animation “The Bad Guys” is so popular now, and it is the undisputed number one in Chinese animation. This will be a great bonus for the movie. With the popularity of the animation, the attention of this movie will definitely be very high.

Moreover, although the form of online movies is rare in this world, it is not non-existent.

It can only be said that there are too few good paid online movies.

Yang Qian was slightly stunned when she saw Zhou Yu’s reply. Not going to the theaters?

Although it is true that it will not be released in time for the Spring Festival this time, it is still possible to find a good time to go to the theaters later?

The key is that this paid online movie has always given people a bad impression. Everyone thinks that bad movies and low-cost movies will go the way of online movies. Yang Qian thinks that they have invested so much in this “Tian Gang Chuan” and put in so much effort, and the movie is really good. If they don’t compete for the box office, it will be a big loss.

“Aren’t we going to the cinema?”

Yang Qian typed out her doubts.

Zhou Yu patiently explained: “We have invested tens of millions of yuan. If we go to the cinema, the publicity cost is too high, and the competition is too fierce. If we go online, relying on the popularity of the animation “The Bad Guys”, the film’s performance should not be too bad.”

“The most important thing is that we need to recover funds now, and the form of online movies is the fastest and best way…”

They did invest a lot in this movie. Although the money was dispersed, it was invested by him, Yang Qian, Wen Shiyi and Penguin. But because of the rush to schedule, the equipment used was all top-notch equipment, and it cost nearly 100 million yuan. Spreading it out, each person invested almost tens of millions of yuan.

Although this money will not cause the company to go bankrupt, it is necessary to get the money back quickly after the money is released.

If it goes to the cinema, there will be more twists and turns, all kinds of publicity and arranging the screenings of major theaters, and I don’t know how high the cost will be. If we go the online paid movie route, promote it online, and release it on Penguin Video, we can save a lot of money.

And if it goes online after the Spring Festival, many people basically don’t have time to go to the cinema to watch movies, and the box office performance is not guaranteed. If we invest so much, but the box office is too bad and we can’t make back the money, it will be hard.

So, it’s better to go the online paid movie route, which is more cost-effective and convenient.

After listening to Zhou Yu’s explanation, Yang Qian nodded and agreed with his statement.

“Okay, I’ll talk to Penguin about it.”

“Well, you guys talk, I’ll come back after I finish shooting these days.”

Zhou Yu chatted with Yang Qian, from “Tian Gang Chuan” to Zhou Yu’s return.

As Yang Qian chatted, she couldn’t help teasing Zhou Yu again, and sent Zhou Yu a selfie of her beautiful legs.

“Honey, please come back soon. I can’t sleep because I miss you so much.”

“Then do it yourself.”

Yang Qian sent a puzzled expression.

“Ah? Honey, what do you mean by this? I don’t understand.”

Zhou Yu secretly called her a fairy and sent a message directly saying, “I will definitely teach you a lesson when I come back.”

“Hehe, how do you want to teach me a lesson?”

“Of course, it’s a stick education.”

Yang Qian was chatting with Zhou Yu. When they were almost done, Zhou Yu got off the phone and said he was going to rest.

“Good night, dream about me~”

After finishing the chat with Zhou Yu, Yang Qian saw the message that Wen Shiyi replied to her half an hour ago. She had been chatting with Zhou Yu and forgot to reply to her.

Wen Shiyi: “The movie is pretty good. Qianqian, have you sent it to Zhou Yu? When will it be online?”

Yang Qian told Wen Shiyi what she had just said to Zhou Yu. She thought that Wen Shiyi might be asleep now, but she got a reply not long after she sent it.

“Zhou Yu said that it is indeed better to go with the online movie model. Let’s discuss it with Penguin.”

After Wen Shiyi sent the message to Yang Qian, she clicked on Zhou Yu’s WeChat and hesitated for a moment, wanting to take this opportunity to chat with him. But looking at the time, he is almost resting abroad, right?

After hesitating for a while, Wen Shiyi still left and talked to Yang Qian about “Tian Gang Chuan”.

“Wait until the production is completed this month, and we can start promoting it.”

Wen Shiyi thought for a while and said, “If it is launched after the Spring Festival next month, then we can wait for a while. After the movie promotion fever of the Spring Festival is over, we will start promoting it.”

In this situation, the whole network is promoting the movies of the Spring Festival. After all, it is the annual Spring Festival, and the competition for movies in this period is the most intense except for the summer season. If they promote at this time, a large part of the traffic and exposure will be covered by these movies in the Spring Festival period.

So, if they go online after the Spring Festival next month, they can avoid the limelight. At that time, the promotion can play the greatest role.

Yang Qian also thought so.

“Well, it’s okay, but I have to communicate with Penguin tomorrow about the online paid movie. After all, they are also partners and platforms.”

…

Time flies, the weekend is over, and a new week is coming. It’s already January 23rd, and there is only one week left before the Spring Festival.

And today is also Monday, which was originally a very ordinary Monday, but today is not ordinary for Zhang Junjie’s fans and Zhou Yu’s fans.

Because everyone knows that today

At twelve o’clock noon, it was the day when Zhang Junjie’s second new single was released.

This was the day Zhang Junjie had announced before, and everyone knew that they just had to wait patiently until twelve o’clock noon. But on Zhou Yu’s side, many people had been looking forward to his official announcement and new songs, but it was already Monday, and there was no news.

Lin Jiajia was browsing Zhou Yu’s Weibo, and then she went to Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian, Zhou Yu’s good friends’ Weibo, and looked at Zhou Yu’s company’s Weibo, but there was no movement at all.

“Is there really no new song?”

It was already Monday, and Zhang Junjie’s second new single would be released at twelve o’clock noon. But everyone had been looking forward to it for so long, but Zhou Yu’s second new song was still not moving, and there was no news at all.

This made Lin Jiajia and many fans panic. Did they guess wrong before? Zhou Yu only prepared the new song “Stranded”, and there were no other new songs?

But this was not Zhou Yu’s style at all, taking the initiative to fight Zhang Junjie. As a result, Zhang Junjie’s new song has not been released yet, so is Zhou Yu going to end it?

One song has not yet been decided, which makes everyone feel a little unsatisfied, and even a little regretful.

On the side of Starlight Entertainment, Mr. Wang was also a little confused when he saw that Zhou Yu had not officially announced the news of the new song, but he sneered in his heart.

“This guy is quite smart. He fought Zhang Junjie to a draw with a song “Shelved”. He stopped when he saw the good, which saved his reputation. If he releases a new song again, it will not be as good as the first one, and loses to Zhang Junjie, which will be embarrassing.”

Mr. Wang thinks that Zhou Yu is worried that he will lose in the future, so he is not going to release new songs. This song, the first duel with Zhang Junjie, the two were tied and the fight was hard to tell. This alone has made Zhou Yu famous. Everyone says that Zhou Yu can now keep pace with Zhang Junjie, the first person in the Chinese music scene.

This can be regarded as raising Zhou Yu’s status in the music industry very high. If Zhou Yu does not release a song, there will be no results in the future. He has maintained this result. If he releases a new song and loses, it means he has fallen from the altar, which is a great shame.

Not only Xiao Wang always thinks so, but also Liu Zifan and others think so.

“This guy doesn’t release a new song, he must be worried about losing in the future.”

He sneered. Zhou Yu is really smart. He raised his position in this way, and then there was no movement. Haha, he really has a good calculation.

However, it seems that this situation can create some trouble for Zhou Yu.

As expected, on the Internet, seeing that Zhou Yu had no news about new songs until Monday, some marketing accounts and people from other companies couldn’t sit still. A big tree attracts the wind. Many people in the circle can’t stand Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu stands too high and blocks the financial path of many company artists. Once everyone seizes some opportunities, they will start to create some trouble for Zhou Yu.

Again, even if Zhou Yu cannot be eliminated, it is still okay to cause some negative impact on him.

“Zhou Yu has no new songs!”

“Zhou Yu is scared!”

“Zhou Yu’s initiative is like a joke!”

“Zhou Yu has already lost!”

…

Many of them were bought by major companies to be on the hot search, and some were led by major marketing accounts.

“Did you see that Zhou Yu has not been heard from since he released a new song? I guess he won’t release any new songs anymore.”

“Haha, he announced that he would compete with Zhang Junjie before, but now, before the winner is decided and Zhang Junjie has a new song, he ran away. What a coward.”

“That’s right, Zhou Yu has a good plan. He competed with Zhang Junjie on equal terms with a song called Stranded, and raised his status, so he won’t release any songs. What’s this called? As long as I don’t release a new song, I won’t lose. I’m really impressed by him.”

“That’s right, Zhou Yu looks like a joke now. I really despise him.”

…

All of a sudden, on Monday morning, many people were discussing whether Zhou Yu had a new song. And under the operation of some companies and marketing accounts, they began to frantically lead the rhythm and drag down Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu’s fans saw this, they were naturally unwilling, but it seemed that they couldn’t find anything to fight back. After all, what these people said was true. Zhou Yu really had no new songs to release, and there was no news or movement.

Even Zhou Yu’s fans, some beautiful and wealthy fans with connections, began to look for people from Zhou Yu’s company. After all, these big sisters must have had connections with Zhou Yu’s company.

It was touched, so it was considered semi-official.

As for the company, it just replied to all the fans and the major fan groups.

“Everyone, please be patient, there will be a surprise later.”

This news instantly excited Zhou Yu’s fans.

A surprise?

Is it a new song?

Lin Jiajia actually also hangs out in a large fan group of Zhou Yu. After seeing this news, her eyes lit up.

“Sure enough, he is holding back a big move.”

From the news sent by Zhou Yu’s company staff, Zhou Yu will definitely not have no new songs as he said above.

“Haha, it seems that some people will be slapped in the face later.”

The farce on the Internet is still going on, from more than eight o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock. Many companies and marketing accounts have come out to lead Zhou Yu’s rhythm and constantly discredit him.

Zhang Junjie saw this scene and was also a little confused.

“Is Xiao Zhou really out of new songs?”

This shouldn’t be.

He felt that Zhou Yu was not the kind of person who would back down at the last minute.

However, at this moment, his WeChat message came, and it was sent by Zhou Yu.

Seeing this message, Teacher Zhang Junjie also smiled.

“This kid is still playing this trick on me.”
