My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The first time I saw a young man, I was very disappointed.

Chapter 1 All rejected

Blue Star, Zhonghai City.

Inside Zhou Yu’s rental house.

Looking at the dozen new songs that were rejected in the mailbox, from top to bottom, they are “Nunchucks”, “Clock in the Opposite Direction”, “Nocturne”…

“It was rejected again. These people really don’t know how to appreciate it.”

Zhou Yu was speechless. The songs he wrote were classics among classics on Earth in his previous life. How come no one wants them when they come to this world?

That’s right, Zhou Yu traveled through time.

A month ago, he was still an unknown artist on Earth. He was a professional, but after ten years of debut, he was still an 18th-tier transparent person. He is a professional in singing, and he has studied acting for a long time. He has played supporting roles on the set for several years, and his acting skills have been greatly improved, but he is not popular. Later, he died suddenly because of staying up late for a long time to study scripts and write songs. After waking up, he found that he had come to this parallel world called Blue Star.

The similarity between this place and the earth is as high as 98%, and the historical development is also extremely similar, but the modern entertainment industry is different from that of the earth. Simply put, he traveled to a template world in an entertainment novel, and those who understand will understand.

Came to Blue Star China and became an ordinary employee in the composition department of a small entertainment company in Zhonghai City. The company is very small, so small that it went bankrupt half a month ago.

As for Zhou Yu, after coming to this world, he found that he was very familiar with the entertainment works in the original world, such as music, novels, and scripts, as if they were copied in his mind.

As a senior online literature enthusiast, Zhou Yu knew that this was the golden finger of his rebirth and travel, plus the identity of the original composition department employee. He knew that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life in this world and become the godfather of entertainment.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Before the company went bankrupt, Zhou Yu wrote new songs for many artists and submitted them. Then, without any surprise, all his new songs were rejected. Even the previous boss couldn’t help but tease Zhou Yu when he saw these new songs.

“Xiao Zhou, you should write some normal songs. Look, this humming and ha-ha, can it be popular?”

“And this one, tears know, how can tears know?”

Then, there was no more, the company went bankrupt due to poor management and failed investment. In order to survive in Zhonghai City, Zhou Yu wrote many songs and submitted them to artists in the circle, but they were still rejected.

The reasons were also very similar. Either he was a newcomer with no reputation, and people didn’t even look at them and directly rejected them, or they felt that the songs they wrote were too weird and inappropriate and were rejected.

“Do I really have to do it myself?”

Zhou Yu glanced at the information about a talent show on his phone. Last week, just in case, he signed up for this talent show called “Idol Son”. He thought that if his new song was rejected, he would take it to the show to debut.

At present, it seems that his decision is correct. The new song was rejected again. It seems that he has to do it himself.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Yu opened the door and it was the landlady who came to collect the rent.

“Xiao Zhou, you have to pay the rent for these two months. I know you just graduated from college, but it’s not easy for me either. I’m counting on the rent to support my children’s schooling.”

Zhou Yu’s face froze, but he still forced a smile: “Okay, I know, sister. I will definitely pay you the rent next month and make up for these two months.”

The landlady was a good person. She knew that Zhou Yu had just graduated not long ago, and the company he worked for went bankrupt some time ago. It was not easy for a person to work hard in Zhonghai City, so she had given him a long grace period for the rent. Last month’s rent has not been paid yet. It’s been a great honor to be able to delay it until now.

Looking at Zhou Yu, the landlady also said earnestly: “Xiao Zhou, auntie knows that you are a creator, but you also need to eat. Find a proper job and work hard. What kind of music are you making? Can this thing be eaten as a meal?”

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. After sending the landlady away, he looked at his balance, which was only 600 yuan left. In the international metropolis of Zhonghai, it is difficult for him, a newly graduated and unemployed college student, to survive.

“It seems that I have to solve the problem of money first.”

The recording of the talent show requires

I will go there at the beginning of next month. During this period, I still have to find a way to make some money, otherwise it will be difficult to live in this expensive city.

He is not going to ask his family for money unless it is absolutely necessary. The family conditions are not very good, and his parents are getting older, so there are more places to spend money. He has his hands and feet, and he should not ask his family for money after graduation.

Zhou Yu looked at the new song manuscript on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and picked up a few new songs at random: “I can only try my luck in the bar.”

Now I am short of money, those stars don’t want my songs, so I can only try my luck in places like music bars to see if I can sell them to those resident singers. It doesn’t matter if it’s cheaper, as long as it can solve the urgent problem.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Zhou Yu came to a busy street, where there are the most bars and music bars.

It was already very hot on the night of May. Zhou Yu carried his bag and held his manuscript in his hand. Looking at the first music bar, he gritted his teeth and walked in.

However, not long after, he came out disappointed, and then tried one after another, and walked through the whole street, but he didn’t sell a single song.

After wiping his sweat, Zhou Yu turned around and prepared to step into the last store, but he bumped into a woman who came out of the store, and the manuscripts in his hand were scattered all over the floor.

He quickly squatted down to pick up his manuscripts. When he got the last one, a white and slender little hand picked up the last manuscript. Zhou Yu was stunned, stood up, and looked up to see the woman standing in front of him, wearing a high-end black long skirt, sunglasses and a baseball cap.

Zhou Yu couldn’t see her face clearly, but from the part of her cheek exposed under the sunglasses, her noble and cold temperament, and her graceful figure, he could tell that she was a beauty.

Seeing her reading the song she wrote, Zhou Yu asked tentatively: “Are you interested in original music?”

The woman looked at the song called “Period” in her hand and the lyrics. Her eyes flickered under her sunglasses, as if she saw her own experience in these lyrics.

She looked up at Zhou Yu and asked: “Did you write this?”

Zhou Yu saw that the woman was interested and nodded quickly: “Yes, these are all written by me, original songs, are you interested, beautiful? If you want, I can sell them to you at a lower price.”

Zhou Yu was still worried that the woman would not believe him, so he showed her the copyright information he registered online.

“Beautiful, don’t worry that I am a liar. These songs are all written by me, and the copyright is mine. If you want, buy them and use them at will, don’t worry about copyright issues.”

He knew that the world attaches great importance to copyright, so the copyrights of these songs he wrote were registered early.

The woman’s eyes flickered, she looked at the people coming and going around, pointed to a coffee shop across the street and said: “Let’s go over there and talk.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity.

Following behind the woman, looking at the bag in her hand and her dress, she looks very rich.

There were not many people in the coffee shop at this time, only Zhou Yu and the woman, found a seat in a corner and sat down, the woman pointed to Zhou Yu’s song “Period” and said.

“I like this song of yours, you name a price.”

Zhou Yu looked at the woman sitting opposite him, he couldn’t see her face clearly, and didn’t know who she was. But these are not important, she seems to be very rich, as long as she can buy his song.

He tentatively quoted a price: “I see that you are also a person who understands music, how about this, fifty thousand is okay?”

Seeing that she is so rich, this fifty thousand should be able to give it, right? Although he also knew that as a newcomer, the price he quoted was a bit high, but in business, there should be enough room for bargaining.

Sure enough, the woman frowned slightly and just said: “How about this, I will give you the highest price for a newcomer, 20,000, and the subsequent profit sharing will also be based on the newcomer, 1% of the profit sharing, what do you think?”

Hearing the woman’s words, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, can there be a profit sharing? He thought that a newcomer like him could not get a profit sharing, but he didn’t expect that this rich woman was quite nice. Give him a newcomer, 1% of the profit sharing, and it’s 20,000 yuan, the highest price for a newcomer, it’s not bad.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to be very embarrassed. Seeing that the woman seemed a little impatient, he agreed with embarrassment: “Okay, that’s it.”

“Leave a contact number, I will go back today and ask someone to prepare the contract and send it to you.”

He nodded quickly: “Yes

“Okay, I’ll scan you.”

The woman hesitated for a moment, took out her phone, and the two added their contact information.

The two talked for only ten minutes before they walked out of the coffee shop. Seeing a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road and took the woman away, Zhou Yu was also a little emotional.

It’s so good to have money.

Looking at the WeChat of the beautiful woman on the phone, fortunately, this time I sold a song. Although the price was cheap, it was at least the first step to help me solve the rent problem.

In the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, the woman took off her hat and sunglasses, revealing a perfect and delicate face. Next to her, sat a short-haired woman in her early thirties, with a hint of anger on her face. She looked at Wen Shiyi and scolded her.

“I say, aunt, can you tell us next time you come out? Do you know how worried I was just now?”

“If something happens to you, how can I explain to your parents?”
