My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The old man was born in a big way.

Chapter 37 Popularity surge

Now Zhou Yu’s fans are arguing with Li Xingyu and Zeng Huayu’s fans. Zhou Yu’s fans think his songs are nice, simple and pure, and can express people’s purest and beautiful yearning for love in their youth. This is his style. Zeng Huayu and Li Xingyu’s fans think Zhou Yu’s songs are too rubbish. Just like what their idols said, the lyrics and music are too simple and can’t compare to their brothers’ songs.

After the second episode of “Idol Son” was broadcast tonight, the hot search list was dominated by this program again.

“The second episode of Idol Son is on air!”

“Li Xingyu is first!”

“Li Xingyu’s stage of Idol Son!”

“Lin Hao’s rap is so cool!”

“Wen Shiyi said there is nothing to teach!”

“Zhou Yu’s simple love!”

…

Entries like this are directly on the hot search list of Weibo and Douyin, especially Li Xingyu, the super popular student. Every time there is news of his recording, it will rush to the hot search, not to mention that this is the second stage performance. Under the operation of the company behind him, it directly rushed to the top of the hot search list.

And among the students behind him, only Lin Hao can compete with him, but he is still slightly weaker in popularity.

The second episode of the show aired this time is the trial performance of “Idol Son”. With the good foundation and start laid by the first episode, the attention of the second episode is already high. Now after the broadcast, the discussion on the Internet continues to rise.

When everyone saw the clip of Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu in the show, many people couldn’t help laughing when Wen Shiyi said “I have nothing to teach him”. Everyone could see a hint of helplessness on Wen Shiyi’s face.

“Haha, this is the first time I’ve seen this situation. The teacher has nothing to teach the students.”

“You’re right, Zhou Yu is really strong. You can see it from the lyrics of the song that Wen Shiyi used to test them.”

“Indeed, his singing skills are so good, and the key is that his creative talent is so strong. It’s really hard to imagine that he is just an amateur contestant.”

“And I really like the simple love he brought this episode. I haven’t heard such pure music for a long time.”

“I also think it’s very nice. I really don’t understand why Zeng Huayu and others say that his lyrics and music are simple. It’s not simple to combine such simple lyrics and music together to write such a beautiful song.”

“Don’t talk about him. He’s just a great wizard. I really can’t appreciate his songs. I guess he’s jealous of Zhou Yu, the student. After all, he wrote songs that he couldn’t write, haha.”

…

On the other side, Mr. Wang of Starlight Entertainment also turned off the TV and frowned slightly. He turned on his phone and took a quick look at the hot search news and the popularity data about Li Xingyu on the Internet. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

“It looks good at the moment. If we continue with this momentum, we will definitely win the championship.”

Judging from Li Xingyu’s performance in the past two episodes, he is remarkable. Relying on his fan base and the company’s operation, he is far more popular than others among many students. Now it seems that it was right to spend a lot of money to sign him to the company.

“Wait for Li Xingyu to win the championship and see what those old guys dare to say.”

Li Xingyu now has the potential to become a big hit. Judging from the two episodes of the show, his current popularity can even be compared with some debut artists. As long as he can win the championship, relying on this wave of popularity, the resources of Tao Factory, and his support, he will definitely become a top star. At that time, it will be time for him to be proud in front of the group of old guys in the company.

“You still have to pay attention to Lin Hao.”

Mr. Wang only saw a slight threat from Lin Hao to Li Xingyu. There was nothing he could do. After all, Lin Hao also had a fan base and had debuted before. He was backed by Huatian Entertainment, one of the four major companies. Judging from the current trainees, only Lin Hao could pose a threat to Li Xingyu.

As for the others, Mr. Wang didn’t take them seriously at all. They were either not as popular as Li Xingyu or they were not as powerful and resourceful as them. Not to mention Zhou Yu, an amateur contestant. He also paid attention to him. It was hard not to pay attention to this person with the same name and surname as the one who wrote the song for Wen Shiyi. After all, without Zhou Yu, how could Wen Shiyi make a comeback?

“Zhou Yu… Hehe, he’s just an amateur. I’ll let you run with him for a little longer.”

There are now points of contention between Zhou Yu and Li Xingyu on the Internet. Fans of Zhou Yu say that their idol’s songs are good, and others’ are much better. Fans of Li Xingyu say that Zhou Yu’s songs are too rubbish, the lyrics and music are too simple, and they can’t be up to standard at all.

Controversy means popularity, and popularity means traffic.

It’s only the second episode now. If this amateur contestant with some strength and talent stays a little longer, it can also bring more traffic and popularity to Li Xingyu. Mr. Wang doesn’t care about amateurs like Zhou Yu at all. As long as he wants, he can kill ants like Zhou Yu anytime and anywhere.

Rules are always made by the strong, not to mention that their Xingguang Entertainment is one of the largest investors among the many entertainment companies investing in “Idol Son”.

After all, in addition to the main investor from Taochang, such a talent show also has investments from entertainment companies of all sizes in the circle. Xingguang Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment are among them, and they are also one of the largest investors.

So for them, they can set rules within a certain range. It is difficult to deal with other students with company backgrounds, but getting rid of an amateur student is just a matter of moving a finger.

Mr. Liu of Huatian Entertainment also watched the performance clips posted on the Internet with his mobile phone. He was quite satisfied with Lin Hao’s performance. However, judging from the current situation, Lin Hao’s popularity is always a little behind Li Xingyu. If the situation continues to develop like this, Li Xingyu’s chance of winning the championship will be much greater than Lin Hao.

“It seems that more publicity resources need to be invested.”

“And this Zhou Yu is indeed talented. Observe him and sign him if possible.”

Mr. Liu had such an idea before. At present, Zhou Yu is very strong. To be honest, he is stronger than Lin Hao and Li Xingyu, but he does not have a fan base and company operation, which leads to Zhou Yu’s not very high ranking.

But judging from the songs he brought in these two episodes, the popularity on the Internet is very high, higher than Li Xingyu and Lin Hao. This already has the potential to be popular. Now Mr. Liu just wants to observe and see how far Zhou Yu can go in the end. If he can, he will sign him.

At that time, it will be a double insurance. If Lin Hao is not good enough, they will support Zhou Yu, who is more powerful, and their company will have a greater chance of winning the championship.

And he doesn’t believe that Zhou Yu, an amateur contestant, will refuse to sign with Huatian at that time?

…

The next day, on the exclusive list of “Idol Son”, the songs of the students last night were released as scheduled, and the list was refreshed. Then, without a doubt, Li Xingyu and Lin Hao’s songs ranked first and second again, and Zhou Yu’s “Simple Love” ranked third.

But this situation did not last long. In only half a day, Zhou Yu’s “Simple Love” rushed to the second place, surpassing Lin Hao, and even had a faint momentum to hit the first place.

Xingguang Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment both discovered this situation and started operations immediately. The data of Li Xingyu and Lin Hao began to rise, and Lin Hao’s song pushed Zhou Yu’s “Simple Love” from the second place to the third place.

However, although on the list, Li Xingyu and Lin Hao have the support of a large number of fans brought by the company’s operation and these two episodes, they suppressed Zhou Yu. But on the Internet, Zhou Yu’s “Simple Love” has spread like the previous “Starry Sky”, and the popularity continues to rise.

On the Internet, although Zhou Yu has no company behind him, he has attracted a large number of fans with the high-quality songs brought by these two episodes. Although some of them are fans who come for Zhou Yu’s appearance, a large part of them are purely for Zhou Yu’s songs, his talent and strength. As a result, Zhou Yu has more male fans than female fans, and his Weibo fans easily exceeded 400,000.

Even many people were confused after listening to his “Simple Love” and “Starry Sky” on the Internet.

“No? Aren’t these two songs good? Why do I see that they are only ranked third on the list?”

“Don’t say it, the first two have fan bases and are operated by companies behind them. Zhou Yu is an amateur, so of course he can’t compare with them in these chart data.”

“Why bother with these? You can see from the popularity of the songs that the first and second songs are only listened to by those fans. The real hits are still Zhou Yu’s songs.”
