My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The film was shot in the theater, but the director did not know how to shoot it.

Chapter 256 Ordinary Road!

Zhou Yu’s performance in the crew is getting more and more eye-catching. In the past few days, because of Zhou Yu’s presence, many changes have been made to the scripts originally prepared. Because of Zhou Yu’s ability, Director Chen attaches great importance to Zhou Yu’s opinions on the scene. This also led to Director Chen discussing with Zhou Yu on the spot during the filming later. If Zhou Yu’s opinions are acceptable, then the scenes will be changed directly on the spot.

Everyone has no opinions on this, because the scenes that have been adapted by Zhou Yu have good results after being filmed.

Director Chen and his team praised Zhou Yu more than once: “Xiao Zhou, you are a great director. Having you on the crew this time has saved us a lot of trouble.”

Director Chen felt that it was difficult to shoot “Detective Chinatown” this time. Although the actors are all old friends and have good acting skills, he often cannot achieve the effect he wants to present. This also led to the filming progress on the scene becoming slower and slower. If Zhou Yu had not been there to give advice and adapt the scenes, he didn’t know when the show would be delayed.

Zhou Yu smiled modestly every time, but because he had some announcements to catch up with in China, after filming here for a few days, he adapted the script with Director Chen and returned to China first. Director Chen and his team also understood Zhou Yu. If he was not there, they would shoot other scenes first, and wait until Zhou Yu came back to shoot the scenes related to Zhou Yu.

However, because Zhou Yu was the protagonist, he had a lot of scenes. The other scenes could be shot in about a week according to the script that Zhou Yu discussed with him.

Director Chen also took a look and found that Zhou Yu only had the last two episodes of “Singer” to record in China, and then he had to participate in the New Year’s Eve party of CCTV on the 31st of this month. This would not delay much time, but Zhou Yu was the hardest worker, as he had to travel between China and abroad this month.

Zhou Yu also felt that this period was very tiring, traveling between China and abroad. So today, he flew directly back to China’s Mango TV to participate in the recording of the eleventh episode of “Singer”.

Now “Singer” has entered the countdown, and there are only two episodes left, and this season of “Singer” will end. However, the popularity of this program is getting higher and higher. Although it is obvious that Zhou Yu is the king of singing this season, everyone still maintains a high level of enthusiasm and expectation for this program. After all, every episode is very exciting, especially Zhou Yu’s performance. Everyone has been looking forward to Zhou Yu’s new songs in every episode.

And now, because Zhao Lei is in the show, Zhou Yu will prepare new songs for Zhao Lei in every episode. In addition to Zhou Yu’s own songs, everyone can hear two songs written by Zhou Yu in every episode.

After listening to the songs Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei, this also made everyone look forward to it. In addition to Zhou Yu, many people look forward to Zhao Lei’s performance in every episode.

Whether it is the previous “One Meat and One Vegetable” or “Nameless People”, or the last episode’s “Live Like Summer Flowers”. Each of these songs is a hit song, and the quality is very high. Zhao Lei’s singing has never disappointed everyone.

And in this penultimate episode, everyone is still looking forward to the performances of Zhou Yu and Zhao Lei.

In the lounge, Zhou Yu came back from abroad and was the last one to arrive. When he arrived at the lounge, everyone was already there.

“It seems that I am the last one to come this time.”

Zhou Yu smiled and teased himself. Now there are fewer and fewer people left. The lounge seemed to be getting more and more empty, and without Liu Zifan, Zhou Yu felt that the atmosphere and atmosphere of the lounge was much better.

“Haha, you kid, have you won too many awards at the Golden Melody Awards before, and you are starting to show off, right?”

Teacher Chen Mo laughed and joked, and everyone started to tease Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was still able to make these jokes: “No, I just came back from filming abroad, I came a little late.”

Teacher Chen Mo and Zhao Lei knew that Zhou Yu had been filming abroad recently, but Shen Guangyan and Teacher Fu Ming didn’t know about it.

“Filming?”

Teacher Fu Ming looked at Zhou Yu in confusion and asked, “Little Zhou Ni is now an actor?”

They were not as familiar with Zhou Yu as Chen Mo and the others, so they didn’t know much about Zhou Yu.

Even Shen Guangyan looked at him curiously.

Although Zhou Yu has always known that Zhou Yu is changing careers, from singer to screenwriter. But now they heard that he was going abroad to film movies and become an actor, which surprised them.

Is this guy so energetic? Moreover, Zhou Yu previously switched careers to become a screenwriter, which was a behind-the-scenes job. This time he went to film and become an actor, switching from behind the scenes to in front of the stage. Is this guy really good?

Shen Guangyan has never seen what Zhou Yu is like filming, although Zhou Yu is now very successful in switching from a singer to a screenwriter. But can he really switch from being behind the scenes to being an actor in front of the stage? Are your acting skills passable?

Could Zhou Yu be like those popular artists who have crossed industries to make money in recent years, just to make money in the entertainment industry?

After all, Zhou Yu is now very popular and handsome. In this era where traffic is king, all he needs to do is show his face and act handsome.

Is this what happened when he went abroad to film?

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Teacher Chen Mo rushed to answer: “Teacher Fu, you don’t know, but this guy is doing very well now, and he is now the leading actor in Director Chen’s new movie.”

Teacher Chen Mo felt that there was no need to hide this matter. The key was that he felt that Zhou Yu would tell it if he didn’t tell it. And hadn’t Shen Guangyan always looked down on Zhou Yu before? From the flash of suspicion in Shen Guangyan’s eyes just now, he knew what Shen Guangyan was thinking.

Telling this matter now also means to speak for Zhou Yu.

Otherwise, these people really think that Zhou Yu has no ability to make money by becoming an actor.

Sure enough, when Fu Ming and Shen Guangyan heard that Zhou Yu was going to shoot Director Chen’s new movie, and that he was also the leading actor, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes. Even Yang Zihan next to him had a look of astonishment on his pretty face at the moment, but it soon turned into excitement and admiration.

Looking at his idol Zhou Yu, Yang Zihan felt that Zhou Yu was getting better and better and more and more charming. He was worthy of being his idol, and now he was the leading actor in the new movie directed by Chen Da.

Fu Ming and Shen Guangyan took a deep look at Zhou Yu and suppressed the shock in their hearts: “You kid, you really hide your secrets.”

They also know very well what Director Chen requires of actors, no matter how popular you are or how strong your background is. In his case, as long as the acting skills are not up to standard during the audition and he feels that it does not meet the requirements of the role, then it will not be used. This is also the reason why Director Chen’s works in recent years have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.

Nowadays, many film and television works have turned a good drama into a bad one just because of the participation of these popular artists who have no acting skills and only face paralysis.

And Zhou Yu was able to pass Director Chen’s audition and gain Director Chen’s approval, which already shows that Zhou Yu’s acting skills were recognized by Director Chen.

The two of them looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster. Teacher Fu Ming said with emotion.

“Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, do you have any other skills that we don’t know about that you are hiding from us?”

Speaking of music, Zhou Yu’s music is already so great, and he just swept all the individual awards at the Golden Melody Awards not long ago. As a screenwriter across industries, the results and reputation of the original animation “Bad Man” are getting better and better, and it is called the light of national comics by netizens. There is also a new variety show “Chinese Poetry Conference” co-operated with CCTV. It is now also a popular variety show. It is becoming more and more popular and it is likely to become a record-breaking variety show.

Now, Zhou Yu has crossed over to become an actor again, and he is the leading actor in Director Chen’s new movie. This starting point is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhou Yu smiled modestly, and everyone chatted with each other. The atmosphere in the lounge is not that tense. This is already the eleventh episode, and the last guest has to be eliminated. But after chatting like this, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared a lot.

Yang Zihan was actually the most nervous at the beginning, but after chatting like this, she relaxed a lot. Among the remaining guests, she actually knew her situation very well and was the one most likely to be eliminated.

But now that she thought about it carefully, she was able to reach the eleventh period, which had greatly exceeded their previous expectations, and she was very satisfied.

So no matter what the outcome of this episode is, she feels that she can do her best to perform well, not leaving any regrets, and giving the best performance to the viewers and fans who support her.

The recording of the eleventh episode officially started, and Teacher Chen Mo started to go on stage as the host to go through the process.

Yang Zihan, as the first guest to appear, had already followed him to wait.

When Teacher Chen Mo’s hosting process ended, Yang Zihan officially took the stage to perform. This time she brought it

It was a singing and dancing performance. As a singer from a girl group, singing and dancing is what she is best at.

Especially Yang Zihan is beautiful, with her long legs and hot and sexy dancing posture, which made many audiences exclaim.

“Goddess! So beautiful!”

“Wow! Zihan is really beautiful, this stage is so beautiful!”

“What should I do? I really don’t want Zihan to be eliminated, but the others are so strong.”

“Indeed, the other guests are too strong, alas, but Zihan is already very good to be able to persist to this point.”

“That’s right, I think Zihan is much better than Liu Zifan anyway, haha.”

“I agree with this point, Liu Zifan is a joke now.”

…

Yang Zihan’s singing and dancing performance in this episode is really wonderful. As a girl group member, she has brought her advantages to the extreme. That graceful dancing posture makes everyone excited now. But everyone knows that facing Zhou Yu and other big devils, Yang Zihan’s chance of winning is very small.

It can even be said that this time is Yang Zihan’s last performance.

Zhou Yu and others couldn’t help but nod their heads as they watched Yang Zihan’s singing and dancing performance. As the lead singer of the girl group, Yang Zihan is still very capable. Zhou Yu can see the difference between her and other girl group members. Yang Zihan can see real skills. She is different from those girl group members who rely on traffic and have no business ability.

After watching Yang Zihan’s performance, Zhou Yu whispered to Wang Jiachao next to him: “Is Yang Zihan’s contract with her group about to expire?”

If Zhou Yu remembers correctly, Yang Zihan’s girl group was formed by a pretty good big company in the circle two years ago. The entire group did not develop very well, it can only be regarded as average, it is a means used by the entertainment company to make money by using the group form. Later, because the business of the girl group was not developing very well, Yang Zihan and her group were separated for development. As the lead singer and the beauty of the group, Yang Zihan was considered to be the best among the girls.

When Wang Jiachao and Zhao Lei heard Zhou Yu ask this, they seemed to have guessed Zhou Yu’s inner thoughts.

“Well, they signed a girl group contract at the beginning, which was signed every three years, but now their girl group is not developing well, and their company is preparing to disband, and then sign the individuals who are developing better…”

Zhou Yu understood that Yang Zihan was signing a girl group contract, not an individual contract. In this way, it would be much simpler.

Zhao Lei also asked curiously: “Brother Yu, are you going to sign Yang Zihan?”

Zhou Yu nodded: “She has good business ability, but it depends on whether she is willing.”

He had this idea. Yang Zihan had both good looks and ability. It happened that his company was just starting out and was in need of people. It would be great to be able to sign some capable artists.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Wang Jiachao and Zhao Lei nodded thoughtfully. Now the company has only two of them, not counting the boss himself, and the staff is indeed too few. And just as Brother Yu said, Yang Zihan is not bad, and it is okay to sign him.

At this time, Yang Zihan also came back, and Zhou Yu smiled and said: “Very wonderful performance!”

Seeing her idol’s affirmation of herself, Yang Zihan was a little flattered, sitting on the sofa obediently, quietly watching the performance of the guests later.

After the performance, Yang Zihan really felt quite relaxed. As for the final result, she felt that it was no longer important. Even if she was eliminated, she felt that she had nothing to regret.

She was very satisfied to be able to present the final stage performance to the audience and to be able to get to this point.

She knew very well where her ability was, so she didn’t dare to ask for too much.

However, when other guests were performing, Zhou Yu patted her shoulder gently and asked in a low voice: “Zi Han, do you want to find a place to chat after the recording is over?”

It’s not easy to talk about work when the show is still being recorded.

Yang Zi Han didn’t expect Zhou Yu to talk to her alone. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes at first, and then became pleasantly surprised. She nodded quickly: “Yeah! Sure!”

Yang Zi Han’s agent also flashed a flash of surprise when he saw this. Is there something going on when Teacher Zhou Yu came to find Yang Zi Han?

She couldn’t figure it out, but since Teacher Zhou Yu invited her, she definitely couldn’t refuse. If she could get along well with Teacher Zhou Yu, and Teacher Zhou Yu helped them write a song, I don’t know how many people would envy her.

And with the recording of this episode, everyone is also Lulu

The performances continued. Zhou Yu looked at everyone’s performances in this episode, which were all very exciting, and even felt like they were performing beyond their normal level. After all, this was the last showdown before the finals, and everyone wanted to do their best to present the best stage performance.

And now the competition is so fierce, if you are not careful, you will be surpassed or even eliminated.

The recording of the program gradually came to an end, and it was Zhao Lei’s turn to perform.

“Here it is! It’s Zhao Lei’s turn to perform. Now, besides Zhou Yu, what I am most looking forward to is his performance.”

“Haha, what a coincidence, isn’t this, I feel the same way, Zhao Lei’s performance is very exciting now.”

“That’s right, the songs written by Zhou Yu, plus Zhao Lei’s singing, are really touching.”

“The last episode was folk songs, and I think this episode should still be the folk songs that Zhao Lei is best at.”

…

When Zhao Lei slowly walked onto the stage, the music sounded, and the information about the songs he sang this time also appeared on the big screen behind him.

“Song title: Ordinary Road

Singer: Zhao Lei

Lyrics: Zhou Yu

Composition: Zhou Yu…”

Everyone looked at the information of the song that Zhao Lei was going to sing this time, and listened to the soothing and relaxing melody, and their eyes lit up.

Especially in the lounge, Teacher Fu Ming and others looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: “Xiao Zhou has written another folk song for Xiao Zhao.”

From the melody of the song “Ordinary Road”, they judged what type of new song Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei this time. Before, there was a guess that it was the folk song type that Zhao Lei was best at, and now it was true.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. This folk song type is the song that Zhao Lei is best at. As a duel to advance to the finals, Zhou Yu naturally hopes that Zhao Lei will get a higher ranking in the end. As for Wang Jiachao, this guy no longer needs Zhou Yu to help him write songs.

Wang Jiachao is in a very good creative state now. Although he can’t get a very high ranking, it is definitely no problem to guarantee that he will enter the finals. As for the song for the final, Zhou Yu thought it would be better for him to do it himself.

After all, the higher the ranking in the final, the better for future development.

Zhou Yu never treats his own company’s artists unfairly.

The audience listened to the prelude of the song sung by Zhao Lei in this episode and spoke in surprise.

“Haha! See, what did I say? It’s the folk song that Zhao Lei is best at!”

“Ordinary Road, it feels like another realistic song written by Zhou Yu.”

“Why do I have a bad feeling in my heart? Will this song make me cry again?”

…

Everyone has already felt the songs written by Zhou Yu and Zhao Lei’s singing. Basically, every time Zhao Lei’s singing makes many people cry on the spot, the songs written by Zhou Yu are the same. The lyrics are not flourishing, but they are particularly gripping.

Just like the previous “One Meat and One Vegetable” and “Nameless People”, the most tear-jerking masterpieces are sung with the most simple lyrics.

Everyone was a little worried. Would Zhao Lei’s song “Ordinary Road” in this episode be the same as before?

On the stage, Zhao Lei slowly raised the microphone and began to sing.

“Wandering

On the road

Are you going to leave?

via via

Fragile

Proud

That was my appearance…”

Zhao Lei’s singing was very calm and gentle, as if it was a breeze in the mountains, blowing past everyone’s ears. Gradually, the scene began to become quiet.

“Boiling

Uneasy

Where are you going?

via via

Mysterious

Silent

Are you really listening to the story…”

Everyone listened to Zhao Lei’s singing. This song was different from the previous songs. This “Ordinary Road” gave people a very soft feeling. The simple lyrics seemed to be a heart-wrenching question, asking themselves.

In that kind of gentle feeling, there was a touch of thinking about the true meaning of life. Many people listened to it unconsciously and were a little dazed. The rhythm of the whole song is very soothing, but every word is full of lyrical meaning. Zhao Lei’s clear voice, coupled with the low singing, makes people feel calmer when listening to it, and at the same time, there is a kind of confusion and sadness about youth.

“I have crossed mountains and seas

And walked through the crowds of people

Everything I once had

Fleeted like smoke in the blink of an eye

I was disappointed

Lost all directions

Until I saw that ordinary

is the only answer…”

The song “Ordinary Road” written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei this time is a song sung and composed by Pu Shu and written by Han Han. This song was released on July 16, 2014, and is also

The theme song of the movie “No Time to Die”.

Pu Shu created this song because he was preparing to release a new album, and was asked by Han Han to work together to complete this classic. Later, Han Han used it in the movie “No Time to Die”.

This song also continues Pu Shu’s usual style, with a slow lyrical rhythm, and his clear and low voice, making the song full of a faint sadness but with a bit of warmth. It can not only make the listener calm down and enjoy the peace and innocence in the stable melody, but also experience the intuition of youth through the power of the song, and find the direction of the future in sadness and confusion.

And Pu Shu always gives people a feeling of “old teenager”. The highly recognizable “youth feeling” in his music, the clarity, sincerity and incomparable innocence, are not something that every musician has.

And this song “Ordinary Road” is also one of his classic works among many songs. Sometimes, this song doesn’t need to be sung, just reading the lyrics brings back memories, as if seeing a picture of young people crying and silently moving forward on the road of life that is unwilling to be ordinary

Pu Shu’s songs are always so touching and always intoxicating.
