I was rejected when I wrote a song, but I became a king on my debut.

Chapter 254 Mr. Wang’s dream is shattered?

Zhou Yu flew to Country T by plane the next day. Today he went to meet Director Chen and the others to rest for a while before starting to shoot the movie.

And today, when the popularity of Zhou Yu's sweep of the Golden Melody Awards last night has not subsided, it is time for the latest episode of "Singer" to be broadcast on Friday.

However, at ten o'clock in the morning, the two anime "Bad Guys" and "Anti Sky" were the first to update their latest episodes.

The popularity of these two animations can be said to be very high among many animations nowadays. In particular, an original anime like "Bad Man" has risen from behind to the top three in popularity among many Chinese comics. Even when it is updated every week, "Bad Guy" will be on the hot search list because of its exciting plot and beautiful pictures.

The key is that among the many popular anime works, this is the only original anime. Moreover, the popularity and reputation of the anime "Bad Man" are getting higher and higher, and it has carved its way among anime adapted from popular IPs.

In particular, everyone will compare "Bad Guy", which Zhou Yu is the screenwriter and producer, with the animation "Nitian Qiong" adapted from the popular IP jointly produced by Starlight Entertainment and Taochang. From the time the two anime were officially announced, everyone knew they were bitter rivals.

Whether it's Zhou Yu's previous grievances with Taochang or Starlight Entertainment, or whether the two animes were launched at the same time, it's all destined that the two animes will be compared by everyone.

Xu Shan has been waiting in front of the computer today for the update of "Bad Guy". He has finished watching the latest episode, and his heart cannot be calm for a long time.

"The bad guys are getting better and better, and the plot is getting better and better."

He also saw some feedback online before, saying that the current progress of this anime is too slow. But at that time, it was not as intense as it was, and there were still quite a lot of positive reviews, and many people praised "Against the Sky" for its excellent restoration of the original work.

"I see that the popularity and reputation of bad guys are getting higher and higher now. I feel that it is only a matter of time before it surpasses Ni Tianqiong."

After Xu Shan saw these comments, he also felt that it was very possible for "Bad Guy" to surpass "The Sky". After all, the performance of "Bad Guy" is rising very quickly. On the other hand, the reputation of "The Sky" is showing signs of collapse, and the performance seems to be declining.

But now, it seems that this road is not feasible. Mr. Huang himself is a little confused. If you don't respect the original work, you will be scolded. If you respect the original work and restore it to a high level, you will be scolded. These netizens are really difficult to serve.

This is Xu Shan's feeling after watching this week's latest episode. The plot is now very fast-paced, without any sloppiness. Those useless plots and the like are either missing or just brushed off. It can be said that the rhythm and plot of the animation "Bad Man" are really exciting, and Zhou Yu's screenwriting ability is also really strong.

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

But now it seems that the anime "Bad Man" failed to do this.

"Is it going to collapse?"

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

"As a fan of the original novel, I am very happy to see my favorite novel restored and made into an animation, but the plot of this animation is too dragging."

……

"I just don't know how Nitian Qiong will be this week."

"That's right, I watch Bad Guys' updates every week now. It's really pretty."

Now it is said that the plot progress is too slow, but there is nothing they can do. The subsequent episodes have already been produced and cannot be changed now.

At that time, Mr. Huang still felt that only a small number of people thought this anime was not very good. However, judging from this week's broadcast, this anime's performance and reputation have begun to decline off a cliff.

At this time, he had already clicked on the updated song "The Sky Against the Sky". He had just finished watching "The Bad Guy". Xu Shan was already completely obsessed with the anime "The Bad Guy". He wanted to watch it this week. How is "Against the Sky"? Is the plot the same as before?

Everyone is very clear about the feud between Zhou Yu and Taochang. Before this animation, everyone knew that they were going to Taochang. However, when the animation was launched earlier, it was overpowered by Taochang. But now, the reputation and popularity of "Bad Man" continue to rise, and a comeback is not impossible.

At the Taochang side, Mr. Huang was also watching the playback of the latest episode of the anime "The Sky Against the Sky".

"Forget it, then I'll wait until the protagonist gets up and then watch it."

Mr. Huang frowned. He took a look at the general situation and said that the plot was progressing too slowly. But they have completely restored the plot one-to-one according to the original work, just to satisfy the many fans of the original work. In the past, many animations adapted from popular IPs were scolded by fans of the original works because they did not respect the original works and made magical changes. When they cooperated with Starlight Entertainment this time, they asked Starlight Entertainment to respect the original work and restore it to a high degree.

But according to the pace of anime, it may take twenty to thirty episodes or even more to get to the highlights.

"Definitely, Ni Tianqiong is running out of stamina now, the plot is too slow, and the bad guys are too fierce, and they will probably be overtaken soon."

At this time, compared with the previous performance, it has dropped a lot. The key is that the reputation is getting worse and worse.

And during this period of time, Xu Shan also watched a lot of videos about "Bad Person". Judging from various signs, "Bad Person" has a really good reputation. The key is that this animation, which everyone was not optimistic about before, and did not even think Zhou Yu could do well, is now doing very well, and is one of the best in the entire Chinese animation circle.

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

"Don't tell me, the plot is too drawn out, I don't want to follow it anymore."

"If we really lose, the peach factory will lose a lot of face."

Xu Shan could also guess what the producers were thinking. Starlight Entertainment must have absorbed the excitement of those IP-adapted novels. I know that those magically modified anime films and TV series have been criticized badly, so this time I fully respect the original work, even though the early results and reputation are very good. But there was no proper adaptation, making the anime's pace seem too draggy. Fans of the original work all know the plot, and everyone comes to watch it because they want to see the classic scenes being produced, and many people who are fans of the original work will not keep following it.

"It's also an anime. If you look at the plot rhythm of the bad guys, that's really exciting."

Although this is the most IP-adapted anime he has ever seen that respects the original work, there is no adaptation at all and it completely follows the plot rhythm of the original work. This original novel itself is a relatively slow-burning one, with all kinds of foreshadowing in the early stage. The real plot explosion happened around 40 to 500,000 years ago.

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

Although it has only been updated for about an hour now, the number of views in this hour has dropped a lot compared to before. Moreover, the reputation continues to decline, which gives Mr. Huang a bad feeling.

……

"I hope I can retain most of the original fans."

"Yes, if we really follow the rhythm of the original work, it will probably take twenty or thirty episodes to see the protagonist show off his skills and see the climax."

Originally, the episodes updated in the past two weeks of "Against the Sky" were not very exciting, and the pace was too draggy. Many people were already a little dissatisfied. But many people thought before that it would probably change later. As a result, after watching the latest episode today, I found that it was still the same. All of a sudden, everyone felt resentful and began to complain about the anime "The Sky Against the Sky". Many people even compared "Bad Guy" produced by Zhou Yu with "Defying the Sky".

"Really, I don't know how to adapt at all. Although doing this can attract many original fans, how many original fans can continue to follow it after a long time?"

During this period, Xu Shan also made a number of commentary videos about "Bad Guys", which were viewed very well. The key is that he looked at the comment section of his video and the private messages. It can be seen that the anime "Bad Guy" has a very good reputation among the audience.

Xu Shan had high expectations for the anime "The Sky" before, but with the subsequent updates of the series, the pace was too slow. In addition, the "Delinquent" side was so attractive that he became obsessed with it. After the beginning, "The Sky" was the first one I watched when it was updated every Friday. Now it's "The Bad Guys" that I watch first.

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

"Why is this still like this?"

Nowadays, "Ni Tian Qiong" is in the decline stage, while "Devil Man" is on the rise. Mr. Huang does not want to be surpassed by the animation "Devil Man". If Zhou Yu wins this time and is overtaken by Penguin, their Taochang side will be embarrassed.

Everyone knew very well before that Zhou Yu’s animation was directed at their Taochang. It's just that at the beginning, their animation "The Sky Against the Sky" was too powerful, and they were temporarily ahead of Zhou Yu and the others. But now, it seems that the situation has reversed, and Mr. Huang is a little worried that Zhou Yu and the others will overtake him 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 I invested and led has achieved very good results, and I can finally feel proud in front of those in the company who look down on me.

But today, the smile on Mr. Xiao Wang's face disappeared, replaced by a touch of worry.

Looking at this week's results list of "Defying the Sky" sent by Mr. Huang, Mr. Xiao Wang frowned.

"It shouldn't be, why did it collapse?"

Not only has the number of views started to decline off a cliff, but even the reputation has collapsed sharply. In the past, the number of views in an hour could be as high as 7 to 8 million, but this week the number of views in an hour has been reduced by one-third, and the reputation has also dropped a lot.

This made Mr. Wang feel a little uneasy. If things continue like this, the anime he invested in would be going high and going low.

"Are we going to be overtaken by that guy Zhou Yu this time and lose to him?"

This is what Mr. Wang is most worried about. He has already lost to Zhou Yu several times. This time, Zhou Yu finally managed to get the better of him, but now the pace is about to collapse, which makes Mr. Wang feel a little nervous.

I am now preparing to ask my father to transfer me back to the position of president at the shareholders' meeting. So now, are you following this trick with me?
"No, no, we have to stabilize our results."

He knew that he could not let the performance of "The Sky" collapse. If he wanted to return to the position of president, he had to stabilize the performance of this animation. At least, at least, he must stabilize this result before he returns to the position of president.

“We must increase publicity!”

Mr. Xiao Wang thought in his mind that at the shareholders' meeting, before he could return to the position of president, this achievement must be stabilized first. Otherwise, those old guys will have to find trouble to hinder themselves when the time comes.

Starlight was founded by his father, so the surname must be Wang!

Over at Penguin Video, Mr. Yang looked at the results of this week's "Delinquent" and felt a slight tremor in his heart. "Good guy, my grades have gone up so much this week!"

Looking at this week's "Delinquent" performance report, Mr. Yang was severely shocked. The number of views in the previous hour was around four to five million, which is relatively good and ranks first among original anime. But this week, the number of views in one hour has reached nearly 10 million, and the reputation is getting better and better. This is something that Mr. Yang did not expect.

When I watched the anime "Bad Man" before, its performance was indeed on the rise, and it was among the best among original Chinese comics. It would not be an exaggeration to say it was number one. But he didn't even realize that his grades could rise so fast. This week, his grades jumped by half.

Judging from this result, among the entire updated animations, it is already in the top three.

"With this result, if I keep it up, I feel like I'm going to get first place!"

Mr. Yang has some expectations in his heart. The current momentum of "Bad Man" is getting stronger and stronger. Nowadays, with nearly 10 million views per hour, it has almost touched the ceiling of the animation industry.

And Mr. Yang also knows in his heart that this is definitely not the limit of the animation "Bad Person". In future development, there is definitely a chance to hit the number one spot, and...

Mr. Yang's eyes flickered. Zhou Yu had told him that if the results were good, he would start working on the follow-up production, and then strike while the iron is hot and go straight to the next year.

This is the first time that the annual calendar has been updated in the country.

The key is that there is also an anime movie about "Bad Guys" in production later. With such good results now, it is estimated that subsequent movies will not be bad either.

"It seems that we have to discuss it with Zhou Yu and the others, and the subsequent production can be put on the schedule."

Today's "Bad Guys" only has twelve short episodes. If it is to be updated for the next year, it can already be produced.

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

……

On Zhou Yu's side, in Country T just now, he met up with Director Chen and the others to have a meal. Now he is resting in the hotel. Shooting will officially start tomorrow, so he is allowed to have a good rest today.

Lying in the hotel, Zhou Yu had just woken up from a nap when he saw the message from Mr. Yang on Penguin Video. I told Zhou Yu about the current achievements of the "Bad Man" anime and asked him when the annual production could be put on the schedule.

Zhou Yu took a look and found that the results of the animation "Bad Person" are indeed getting better and better. Moreover, the performance has increased at a rate far exceeding his previous estimates. Now it seems that he can indeed continue to produce subsequent plots, and then start the annual serialization.

"Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll take some time to write the script for the follow-up plot, and I'll write it while filming."

Zhou Yu has already prepared a lot of the script, which is directly about the bad handsome man asking for death. But he hasn't finished the latter part yet and needs some time to create. But for now, these scripts are enough for a while.

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, you are busy now, I won't disturb you."

Mr. Yang also knew that Zhou Yu was busy filming during this period, but since Zhou Yu said to leave the script 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 "The Legend of Tiangang" is almost in production, when Zhou Yu sends over the script, the next year's production can begin.

Zhou Yu and Mr. Yang also discussed the matter of the new year's episode with the two investors Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian.

After this chat, the whole afternoon passed. 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 tenth episode.

Lin Jiajia was already in front of the computer on time, watching the show.

"I don't know who will be eliminated this time..."

Nowadays, the further you get to the back, the more intense the competition becomes. The person to be eliminated in this episode, before Lin Jiajia watched the performance, she thought it was probably Yang Zihan who was ranked last in the previous episode.

After all, her results in the last period were at the bottom. If there are no accidents, she will most likely be the one in this period.

"I just don't know if Zhou Yu will still bring rap songs in this issue."

Now Zhou Yu has sung rap songs on the show for two consecutive episodes. Because of him, rap, a type of song that is not popular with everyone, has made more people like rap. There are very few good rap songs on the market now, and everyone even only likes to listen to Zhou Yu's rap, thinking that Zhou Yu's rap is high-end. Others, such as Liu Zifan and those in the rap circle, their songs cannot compare with Zhou Yu at all, their songs are garbage.

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

Moreover, Liu Zifan is still here in this issue, and everyone wants to see how Liu Zifan, who has lost to Zhou Yu again and again, has the face to face Zhou Yu.

"Huh? Liu Zifan's performance this episode is so extraordinary."

"I also feel that the quality of his songs in this issue has dropped a lot since he wrote them himself."

"Definitely. In the past, his raps were written by others. This time he did it himself, and his level suddenly dropped a lot."

"Sure enough, this rap still depends on Zhou Yu. Only Zhou Yu's rap is rap!"

"I just don't know if Zhou Yu will bring a new rap song this time."

……

After watching Liu Zifan's performance, everyone felt that it was not good. Many people even felt that after watching Liu Zifan's performance, they felt that 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 felt that 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 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 was not impossible.

And when everyone saw Zhao Lei's performance, Lin Jiajia and the others were once again amazed by the song "Life is Like a Summer Flower" written by Zhou Yu to Zhao Lei.

"I'll go! The new song written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei in this issue is actually a ballad. Zhao Lei is best at ballads!"

"As expected, Zhao Lei is best suited for ballads. This is so nice!"

"Huh! This song has such 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 issue cannot be low."

"Haha, Zhao Lei said: I have Zhou Yu, and I can win the finals without any hesitation!"

……

Now everyone can see that with Zhou Yu's help, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Lei to be eliminated. Zhao Lei's ranking in every issue is not low. As for Wang Jiachao, he is also capable of composing new songs and can guarantee that he will not be eliminated.

"Then it seems that the only candidates to be eliminated in this period are Liu Zifan or Yang Zihan..."

"But Liu Zifan is more likely."

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

"It rained all night, isn't it rap?"

Everyone was a little disappointed that the song Zhou Yu brought this time was not a rap song, but after listening to this song, everyone's eyes lit up!
"This song is so beautiful, one song with two styles!"

Lin Jiajia was a little shocked. This was obviously just a song, but it had completely different parts. It's like lovers separated by time and space, and the interlude in the middle is really wonderful. Just listening to that interlude can give people a strong sense of the picture.

"As expected of Zhou Yu, it's another Chinese-style song!"

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

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

"As expected, Liu Zifan was eliminated."

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