My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The next day, Zhou Yu flew to Country T. Today, he will meet up with Director Chen and the others to rest and start filming the movie. Today, Zhou Yu’s popularity from sweeping the Golden Melody Awards last night has not yet subsided, and the latest episode of “Singer” is about to be broadcast on Friday. However, at ten o’clock in the morning, the two animations “The Bad Guys” and “Against the Sky” were the first to update the latest episodes. The popularity of these two animations is very high among many animations. Especially “The Bad Guys”, an original animation, has already rushed from the back to the top three among many domestic animations. Even when it is updated every week, “The Bad Guys” will be on the hot search because of its wonderful plot and beautiful pictures.

The key is that among many popular anime works, this is the only original anime. Moreover, the popularity and reputation of the anime “The Bad Guys” are getting higher and higher, and it has carved out a bloody path among a number of anime adapted from popular IPs.

In particular, everyone will compare “The Bad Guys” written and produced by Zhou Yu with “Against the Sky”, an anime adapted from a popular IP in cooperation between Starlight Entertainment and Tao Factory. These two animes, from the time they were officially announced, everyone knew that they were mortal enemies.

Whether it was the previous grievances between Zhou Yu and Tao Factory or Starlight Entertainment, or the fact that the two animes were launched at the same time, all of this was destined that these two animes would be compared by everyone.

Xu Shan has been waiting in front of the computer today for the update of “The Bad Guys”. He has already finished watching the latest episode, and his heart has been restless for a long time.

“The Bad Guys is getting better and better, and the plot is getting better and better.”

This is Xu Shan’s feeling after watching the latest episode this week. The plot is now very fast, without any drag. Those useless plots are either not there or just glossed over. It can be said that the rhythm and plot of the animation “The Bad Guys” are really wonderful, and Zhou Yu’s screenwriter ability is really strong.

During this period, Xu Shan also made a lot of commentary videos about “The Bad Guys”, and the number of views is very good. The key is that he looked at the comments section and private messages of his videos. It can be seen that the animation “The Bad Guys” has a very good reputation in the hearts of the audience.

In addition, Xu Shan has also seen a lot of videos about “The Bad Guys” during this period. From all indications, the reputation of “The Bad Guys” is really good. The key is that this animation, which everyone did not think highly of before, and even did not think that Zhou Yu could do well, is now doing quite well. It is one of the best in the entire Chinese animation circle.

“I just don’t know how this week’s Against the Sky is.”

Xu Shan had high expectations for the anime Against the Sky, but with the subsequent episodes, the pace was too slow. In addition, the Bad Guys was too attractive, so he became addicted to it. At the beginning, he watched Against the Sky first every Friday, and now he watches Against the Sky first.

At this time, he had already clicked on the updated Against the Sky. After watching The Bad Guys, Xu Shan was completely attracted by the anime. He wanted to see how Against the Sky was this week and whether the plot was still the same as before.

“Why is it still like this?”

Xu Shan frowned slightly. The pace of Against the Sky is too slow now.

Although this is the most respectful IP adaptation anime he has ever seen, there is no adaptation at all, and it is completely based on the plot rhythm of the original work. The original novel itself is a slow-burner, with all kinds of foreshadowing in the early stages, and the real explosion of the plot is around 400,000 to 500,000 episodes.

But according to the rhythm of the animation, it will probably take 20 to 30 episodes or even more to get to the exciting part.

“Really, they don’t know how to adapt at all. Although this can attract many fans of the original novel, how many fans can keep following it after a long time?”

Xu Shan can also guess the producer’s thoughts. Xingguang Entertainment must have absorbed the surprise of those IP-adapted novels. Knowing that those magically adapted anime and film and television dramas have been criticized badly, this time they fully respect the original novel, although the early results and reputation are very good. But there is no proper adaptation, which makes the rhythm of the animation look too dragged out. Fans of the original novel all know the plot, and everyone comes to watch it just to see the classics.

The classic scenes were created, and many fans of the original novel will not continue to follow.

As for those anime fans, if you want to attract them, you must use exciting anime plots to attract them.

But now it seems that the anime “The Bad Guys” did not do this.

“What the hell is this anime? It’s been so many episodes and the protagonist is still being hunted. The plot is too slow.”

“It’s true. The plot is too slow. I don’t want to follow it anymore.”

“Although I respect the original work, I come to watch the anime, not the novel. If you do this, I might as well watch the anime.”

“As a fan of the original work, I am very happy to see my favorite novel restored and filmed into an anime, but the plot of this anime is too slow.”

“Yeah, if it is really filmed at the pace of the original work, it will probably take 20 to 30 episodes to see the protagonist show his skills and see the climax.”

“Forget it, I’ll wait until the protagonist rises before watching it.”

…

Originally, the episodes of “Against the Sky” updated in the past two weeks were not very exciting. The rhythm was too slow, and many people were already dissatisfied. But many people thought that it would change later. As a result, after watching the latest episode today, I found that it was still the same. Suddenly, everyone’s resentment came up and began to complain about the animation “Against the Sky”. Many people even compared “The Bad Guys” produced by Zhou Yu with “Against the Sky”.

“Both are animations, but look at the plot rhythm of “The Bad Guys”, that’s really exciting.”

“That’s right, I’m watching the updates of “The Bad Guys” every week, it’s really good to watch.”

“I see that the popularity and reputation of “The Bad Guys” are getting higher and higher, and it feels that it’s only a matter of time before it surpasses “Against the Sky.”

“Of course, “Against the Sky” is not strong enough now, the plot is too slow, and “The Bad Guys” is too fierce, it is estimated that it will be surpassed soon.”

…

When Xu Shan saw these comments, he also felt that “The Bad Guys” was likely to surpass “Against the Sky”. After all, the performance of “The Bad Guys” is rising very fast, while the reputation of “Against the Sky” has signs of collapse, and the performance seems to be declining.

“If we really lose, the face of Taobao Studio will be a bit lost.”

Everyone is very clear about the grudge between Zhou Yu and Taobao Studio. Before this animation, everyone knew that it was aimed at Taobao Studio. However, when the animation was launched, it was suppressed by Taobao Studio. But now, the reputation and popularity of “The Bad Guys” continue to rise, and it is not impossible to turn the tide.

At this moment, at Taobao Studio, Mr. Huang is also watching the latest episode of the animation “Against the Sky”.

Although it has only been updated for about an hour, the number of plays in this hour has dropped a lot compared with before. And the reputation is continuing to decline, which makes Mr. Huang have a bad premonition.

“Is it going to collapse?”

He also saw some feedback on the Internet before, saying that the current progress of this animation is too slow. But at that time, it was not so intense, there were still many good reviews, and many people were praising “Against the Sky” for its good restoration of the original work.

At that time, Mr. Huang still thought that only a small number of people thought that this animation was not very good. However, judging from the broadcast situation this week, the performance and reputation of this animation have begun to decline sharply.

Compared with the previous performance, it has declined a lot, and the key is that the reputation is getting worse and worse.

Mr. Huang frowned, and he looked at the general situation. They all said that the plot progressed too slowly. But they are all completely restored one-to-one according to the original plot, just to satisfy the many fans of the original party. Many animations adapted from popular IPs before were scolded by the fans of the original because they did not respect the original and made magical changes to the original. This time when they cooperated with Starlight Entertainment, they asked Starlight Entertainment to respect the original and highly restore the original.

At the beginning, this was indeed very good and won the support of many fans of the original.

But now, it seems that this road is not feasible. Mr. Huang himself is a little confused. If you don’t respect the original, you will be scolded. If you respect the original and highly restore it, you will also be scolded. These netizens are really hard to please.

Now they say that the plot progresses too slowly, but they have no way. The subsequent episodes have already been produced and cannot be changed now.

“I hope to retain most of the original fans.”

Now that “Against the Sky” is in a declining stage, and “The Bad Guys” is on the rise, Mr. Huang does not want to be surpassed by the anime “The Bad Guys”. If Zhou Yu wins this time, and Penguin

If they overtake, it will be a big loss for Taoyuan.

Before, everyone knew that Zhou Yu’s animation was aimed at Taoyuan. It was just that at the beginning, their animation “Against the Sky” was too powerful, temporarily ahead of Zhou Yu and his team. But now, it seems that the situation has reversed, and Mr. Huang is a little worried that he will be overtaken by Zhou Yu and his team this week.

As for Mr. Wang of Starlight Entertainment, he has been doing well in the company recently. The animation project “Against the Sky” that he invested in and led has achieved good results, and he finally got to be proud of himself in front of those people in the company who looked down on him.

But today, the smile on Mr. Wang’s face disappeared, replaced by a trace of worry.

Looking at the performance table of “Against the Sky” this week sent by Mr. Huang, Mr. Wang frowned.

“It shouldn’t be like this, how could it collapse?”

Not only did the number of views begin to drop drastically, but even the reputation collapsed severely. Previously, the number of views per hour could reach 7-8 million, but this week, the number of views per hour was directly reduced by one-third, and the reputation also declined a lot.

This made Mr. Wang feel a little uneasy. If it continues like this, the animation he invested in will start high and end low.

“Will Zhou Yu overtake me this time and lose to me?”

This is what Mr. Wang is most worried about. He has already lost to Zhou Yu several times. This time, he finally suppressed Zhou Yu, but now he is about to collapse, which makes Mr. Wang’s mentality explode.

He is about to ask his father to transfer him back to the position of president at the shareholders’ meeting. But now, you are doing this to me?

“No, no, we must stabilize the results.”

He knew that he could not let the results of “Against the Sky” collapse. If he wanted to sit back in the position of president, he had to stabilize the results of this animation. At least, at least he had to stabilize the results before he sat back in the position of president.

“We must increase publicity!”

Mr. Wang thought to himself that he had to stabilize this performance before the shareholders’ meeting and before he took the position of president again. Otherwise, those old guys would find trouble to hinder him.

Xingguang was founded by his father, so he must be surnamed Wang!

On the Penguin Video side, Mr. Yang looked at the performance of “The Bad Guys” this week and trembled slightly.

“Wow, the performance this week has risen so sharply!”

Looking at the performance report of “The Bad Guys” this week, Mr. Yang was shocked. The number of views per hour was about 4 to 5 million before, which was relatively good, and it was the first among original animations. But this week, the number of views per hour was nearly 10 million, and the reputation was getting better and better, which was something that Mr. Yang did not expect.

Looking at the performance of the animation “The Bad Guys” before, it was indeed in an upward period, and it was a leader among original Chinese animations. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first. But he himself did not talk about how the performance could rise so fast. The performance this week has directly soared by half.

Judging from this performance, it can already be ranked in the top three among all the updated anime.

“With this performance, if it keeps up, it feels like it will take the first place!”

Mr. Yang is somewhat looking forward to it. The current momentum of “The Bad Guys” is rising more and more fiercely. Now, with nearly 10 million views per hour, it is almost touching the ceiling of the anime industry.

And Mr. Yang knows that this is definitely not the limit of the anime “The Bad Guys”. In the future development, there is definitely a chance to hit the first place, and…

Mr. Yang’s eyes flickered. Zhou Yu told him that if the performance is good, he would start the follow-up production, and then strike while the iron is hot and go directly to the annual series.

This is the first time that the annual series has been updated in China.

The key is that there is another animated film about “The Bad Guys” in production. Now that the performance is so good, the subsequent movies are expected to be no bad.

“It seems that I need to discuss with Zhou Yu and the others, and the subsequent production can be put on the agenda.”

The current “The Bad Guys” is only twelve episodes long. If it is to be updated as an annual series, it can already start production.

Thinking of this, Mr. Yang sent a message to Zhou Yu and the others.

…

And on Zhou Yu’s side, just now in Country T, he met up with Director Chen and the others to have a meal. Now he is resting in the hotel. The filming will officially start tomorrow. Today is for him to have a good rest.

Lying in the hotel, Zhou Yu just woke up from a nap and saw the message sent to him by Mr. Yang from Penguin Video. Give Zhou Yu the current performance of the animation “The Bad Guys”.

Zhou Yu talked about it and asked him when the production of the annual series could be put on the agenda.

Zhou Yu took a look and found that the performance of the animation “The Bad Guys” was indeed getting better and better. And the speed of the performance increase was far beyond his previous expectations. Now it seems that the subsequent plots can be continued and the annual series can be started at that time.

“How about this, Mr. Yang, I will take some time to write the scripts for the subsequent plots, and then write while filming.”

Zhou Yu has prepared a lot of scripts, including the plot of the Bad Guys asking for death. But he hasn’t finished the latter part yet, and it takes some time to create. But these scripts are enough for a while.

“Okay, Xiao Zhou, you go ahead and I won’t bother you.”

Mr. Yang also knew that Zhou Yu was busy filming during this period, but since Zhou Yu said that the script would be handed over to him, he had nothing to worry about.

And the production side is mainly Yang Qian’s team and their Penguin Video production team. Now that “Tian Gang Chuan” has been produced, Zhou Yu will send the script and we can start the production of the annual episode.

Zhou Yu and Mr. Yang also discussed the annual episode with the two investors Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian.

This chat lasted for an entire afternoon, and at 8 o’clock in the evening, the tenth episode of “Singer” was officially broadcast.

Now there are only two episodes left before the end of this season of “Singer”, and everyone is looking forward to the broadcast of the tenth episode.

Lin Jiajia has been in front of the computer on time, watching the show.

“I wonder who will be eliminated in this episode…”

Now the later it is, the more intense the competition is. Before Lin Jiajia watched the performance, she thought that the person to be eliminated in this episode might be Yang Zihan, who ranked last in the last episode.

After all, her performance in the last episode was at the bottom, and if there is no accident, she will most likely be eliminated in this episode.

“I just don’t know if Zhou Yu will bring rap songs this time.”

Now Zhou Yu has sung rap songs in the show for two consecutive episodes. Because of him, more people like rap, a genre that is not popular and unpopular. There are very few good rap songs on the market now, and everyone only likes to listen to Zhou Yu’s, thinking that Zhou Yu’s rap is advanced. Others, such as Liu Zifan and those in the rap circle, their songs can’t compare with Zhou Yu at all, their songs are garbage.

So now everyone is very hungry for high-quality rap songs like Zhou Yu, and they are looking forward to Zhou Yu bringing more good rap songs again.

And Liu Zifan is still here in this episode, and everyone wants to see how Liu Zifan, who has lost to Zhou Yu again and again, can face Zhou Yu.

“Huh? Liu Zifan’s performance this episode is so bad.”

“I also think that since he wrote the songs himself this episode, the quality has dropped a lot.”

“Of course, he asked others to write his rap before, but he did it himself this episode, so the level has dropped a lot.”

“Sure enough, Zhou Yu still has to do the rap, only Zhou Yu’s rap is rap!”

“I just don’t know if Zhou Yu will bring any new rap songs this episode.”

…

Everyone felt that Liu Zifan’s performance was not good after watching it, and many people even felt that after watching Liu Zifan’s performance, he was the worst performer among the guests who had performed so far.

Even Lin Jiajia thought so. Before watching Liu Zifan’s performance, she thought Yang Zihan was the most likely to be eliminated. But after watching Liu Zifan’s performance, she felt that this guy’s performance was not as good as Yang Zihan’s in this episode.

“Is he the one who was eliminated this time?”

Lin Jiajia had an idea in her mind. Judging from Liu Zifan’s performance, this possibility is not impossible.

After everyone saw Zhao Lei’s performance, Lin Jiajia and the others were once again amazed by the song “Born Like Summer Flowers” written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei.

“Oh my god! The new song Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei this time is actually a folk song, Zhao Lei’s best folk song!”

“Zhao Lei is really best at folk songs, this is so beautiful!”

“Huh! This song has a profound understanding of life. Zhou Yu is worthy of being Zhou Yu, and Zhao Lei’s singing is also very good.”

“If nothing else, I feel that Zhao Lei’s ranking in this period cannot be low.”

“Haha, Zhao Lei said: I have Zhou Yu, and I won directly to the finals!”

…

Now everyone can see that Zhao Lei has Zhou Yu’s help, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be eliminated. Zhao Lei’s ranking in each period is not low. As for Wang Jiachao, he also has the ability to create new songs and can guarantee his own

I will not be eliminated.

“Then it seems that the only candidates to be eliminated in this episode are Liu Zifan or Yang Zihan…”

“But Liu Zifan is more likely.”

Finally, Zhou Yu appeared. Everyone was stunned when they heard the prelude of Zhou Yu’s song and the song information.

“It rained all night, isn’t it rap?”

Everyone was a little disappointed that Zhou Yu’s song was not rap this time, but after listening to the song, everyone’s eyes were shining!

“This song is so good, one song with two styles!”

Lin Jiajia was a little shocked. This is obviously just one song, but it has completely different front and back parts. It’s like lovers across time and space, and the interlude in the middle is so beautiful. Just listening to that interlude can give people a strong sense of picture.

“It’s worthy of Zhou Yu, another Chinese style song!”

Now Zhou Yu seems to have been linked to the identity of promoting traditional culture. This song is a combination of traditional classical music and modern pop music, which makes people praise it.

When everyone saw the final ranking results, although they were surprised, they were also expected.

“Liu Zifan was eliminated.”

Judging from his performance in this episode, Liu Zifan is most likely to be eliminated.

Thanks to the book friend Lei Ting AA for voting for the monthly ticket!
