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

Chapter 259: Cultivating Love
Lin Jiajia was very intoxicated by Zhou Yu's song "Fireworks Cool Down Easily". Compared with so many popular songs on the market, she always thought that Zhou Yu's Chinese style songs were the best.

Moreover, the lyrics and music written by Zhou Yu are really touching, and the artistic conception is very beautiful. Even if the lyrics are taken out separately, it is completely like a poem. This alone is unmatched by other songs. Compared with other songs, Zhou Yu's songs are completely the kind of dimensionality reduction attack.

"Sure enough, Zhou Yu's performance is still so stable."

Looking back at Zhou Yu's performance in this season of "Singer", except for the first episode where he didn't get first place because he was the opening guest, Zhou Yu won first place in every other episode. It can even be said that Zhou Yu dominated the first place of this season of "Singer".

It was impossible for other people to come up. And judging from the performance of other guests, for example, Shen Guangyan, he had always wanted to beat Zhou Yu. But in the end, he gave up. He really had no way to beat Zhou Yu. He had put in a lot of effort to beat Zhou Yu, but the results were not satisfactory.

In the end, Shen Guangyan, the King of Heaven, gave up and became open-minded. He knew he couldn't beat Zhou Yu anyway, so why bother making himself unhappy?
It would be great if I could finish recording this season of "Singer" peacefully, give my best performance and live up to the fans who have always supported me.

As for the championship, whoever wants it can go for it. With Zhou Yu here, it will be easier than climbing to the sky.

When Lin Jiajia and the others finished watching this episode and learned the final ranking results, they felt a little regretful about Yang Zihan's elimination.

"What a pity. Yang Zihan performed really well in this episode. I can only say that he met a very strong opponent."

Lin Jiajia and the others really thought that Yang Zihan's performance in this episode was very good, which was completely beyond their expectations. If it was before, she might have been able to advance. But this is the eleventh episode, and the remaining guests are all powerful singers. For Yang Zihan, it is indeed too difficult.

"But it's pretty good that she can get this far."

Being able to persist from a singer who was originally a replacement for a singer until now, the popularity of "Singer" is definitely of great help to an artist's future development. Moreover, Yang Zihan's participation in the past few episodes has increased her popularity.

"Huh! The eleventh episode has ended like this. It's such a pity that Yang Zihan was eliminated."

"Yes, she really refreshed my understanding of domestic girl groups. Her professional ability is really strong."

"Oh my god! There's only one issue left, I'm so sad!"

"The finals will be held after New Year's Day. I really don't want to hear Zhou Yu's new songs every week anymore."

"Zhou Yu, it's almost a new year, isn't it time to release a new album?"

……

As the eleventh episode of "Singer" came to an end, everyone felt reluctant to see it end soon. The finals are coming soon, and this season of "Singer" will come to an end. Now this program has become the new No. 1 variety show in China, and many people are even used to watching it every week. And the most important thing is that you can hear Zhou Yu's new songs every week.

But after this is over, there will be no such treatment anymore, and it may take a long time before we can hear Zhou Yu’s performance again.

At this moment, Zhou Yu was already in the imperial capital participating in the final rehearsal for the December 31st New Year's Eve party.

This year, he was invited by CCTV to participate in the New Year's Eve concert early on, and he has been staying in the capital for the past two days to participate in rehearsals. After all, for such a large-scale evening party, the rehearsal process must be followed.

And after that, the rehearsals for this year's Spring Festival Gala began in early February.

All at this venue. After finishing the New Year's Eve Gala in the past two days, the first big rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala will be held. According to past practice, there are three big rehearsals before the official Spring Festival Gala live broadcast. After all, that night is broadcast live around the world, and there can be no mistakes. Many invited artists must be present no matter how busy they are.

So Zhou Yu will have to attend a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Day, and then fly abroad to continue filming "Detective Chinatown". Director Chen and his crew have almost finished filming the other characters' scenes, and are waiting for him to go back to film the scenes related to him. After all, Zhou Yu plays the main character Qin Feng, who has a lot of scenes, and he can't delay the filming progress because of himself.

This time Director Chen was more understanding of him. Knowing that Zhou Yu was busy, he told him not to have any psychological pressure. According to the current progress of the crew, the filming of the movie will be completed in about a month.

After all, Zhou Yu made some changes to the script, and Director Chen would ask Zhou Yu for advice from time to time. Basically, no matter how many bottlenecks were encountered, the filming process went smoothly.

Zhou Yu had just finished the rehearsal for CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala and returned to the hotel to rest. Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi were sending him messages asking him.

"Are you in the capital now?"

"Yeah, I just finished rehearsal."

Yang Qian looked at Zhou Yu's profile picture, resting in the hotel arranged by Mango TV, with her beautiful legs crossed and slightly absent-minded. Ever since she chatted with her best friend Wen Shiyi last time and learned about her feelings for Zhou Yu, Yang Qian has been in a bad mood.

But she has lived for nearly 30 years, so Yang Qian doesn't intend to hide her inner feelings. Moreover, Zhou Yu is so outstanding, and it's not just Wen Shiyi who likes him. As far as she knows, there are many people in the circle who like him.

The key point is that everyone is single. Even if Wen Shiyi is her best friend, Yang Qian doesn't want to give in on such a matter that concerns her life. Everyone is single, and Zhou Yu is not with anyone, so everyone can compete fairly.

Yang Qian held her phone in her arms. She hadn't seen Zhi for a long time. After this, she would go to CCTV to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Day. Thinking of this, Yang Qian asked with her eyes flickering.

"You're going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Day, right?"

"Well, after I finish participating, I will go back to the crew to film."

After Zhou Yu replied this message to Yang Qian, he simply copied and pasted it and sent it to Wen Shiyi who asked the same question.

Did these two people discuss this beforehand? Why did they ask this question at the same time?
Wen Shiyi is also resting in the hotel arranged by Blueberry TV. This year she is participating in the New Year's Eve party held by Blueberry TV.

After looking at Zhou Yu's reply, Wen Shiyi tapped on the phone screen with her slender fingers.

"Then let's have dinner together after the New Year's Day rehearsal?"

Zhou Yu looked at the messages with similar content that were sent to his phone at the same time and frowned slightly.

What's going on with these two? They really came here to discuss this.

Zhou Yu didn't think much of it. It was indeed a long time since they last saw each other, so there was nothing wrong with having a meal together.

"Sure, we haven't seen each other for a long time anyway. After this time, we probably won't be able to get together until the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Yu looked at the message he had sent, thought about it, and tentatively sent a message to Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian respectively.

"It just so happens that Wen Shiyi is here too, so we can get together then."

"Yang Qian is here too, so we can get together then."

Zhou Yu sat at the head of the bed. After sending the message, he didn't read it. He picked up the hair dryer in the hotel and started to blow his hair. Then he poured himself a glass of water, drank a sip and put it on the head of the bed. Then he slowly got on the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and read the message on his phone.

"Well...it's just the two of us. Shiyi/Qianqian is quite busy and probably won't have time after rehearsal."

Zhou Yu looked at the news from the two people, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He probably guessed what the two people were thinking.

However, Zhou Yu never deliberately took the initiative or avoided the relationship, just letting it go. But not taking the initiative and not rejecting is his bottom line and purpose.

Zhou Yu felt that his current relationship with Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi was that of friends, but much better than ordinary friends. They were the kind of people who were more than friends but less than lovers as described on the Internet.

This time, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi’s meanings are so clear. If Zhou Yu still doesn’t understand, then he has lived these two lives in vain.

Looking at the messages between the two, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Wen Shiyi.

"How about this, we're staying in Beijing on New Year's Day, so let's go out for dinner that night. After the rehearsal, I have to fly abroad directly, so I don't have much time."

Wen Shiyi also knew that Zhou Yu was very busy now, traveling both domestically and internationally, so she did not doubt him and understood him very well.

"Okay, see you on New Year's Day."

After the chat, Wen Shiyi felt her heart beating faster. She felt like she was not herself anymore. When chatting with Zhou Yu, she seemed to be too proactive. But just like Sister Lin and the others said, if you meet someone you like, you have to cherish them. Otherwise, if you miss them, she will really regret it for the rest of her life.

On Yang Qian's side, Zhou Yu replied.

"How about this, let's have dinner together the night after the rehearsal. I'm going to fly overseas directly after that, so I don't think I'll have much time."

When Yang Qian saw Zhou Yu's message, she smiled. She felt that she should take the initiative. Otherwise, such a good man like Zhou Yu would be snatched away by others.

"Okay, see you on New Year's Day."

After chatting with Zhou Yu, Yang Qian sat at the head of the bed, feeling a little excited and secretly happy.

However, when she thought of her best friend, Yang Qian felt guilty again and then shook her head.

"No, I still have to find a chance to talk to Shiyi. I want to compete fairly with her!"

If she did it silently like this, Yang Qian would feel a little guilty. In that case, she would tell her that they should compete fairly!
And at 7:30 in the evening of the next day, the annual New Year’s Eve concert officially began.

As an annual grand ceremony, all major TV stations are doing their best to draw a perfect end on the last day of the year. And at this time of year, the competition for ratings among major TV stations is the most intense.

Especially the major domestic TV stations, almost all the celebrities in the entertainment industry have been invited. Especially the Mango TV and Blueberry TV, which are at the top, basically all the famous artists in the circle have been invited by these two TV stations.

Above this, there is CCTV, which cannot be regarded as an ordinary TV station. If Mango TV and Blueberry TV are the best among local TV stations, then CCTV is the boss of these major TV stations. Moreover, in the circle, these large-scale evening parties basically have to wait until CCTV has selected the people before the local TV stations can select them. Even if your local TV station has agreed in advance, but CCTV has spoken, you have to cooperate.

Although the celebrities invited by CCTV are also very good every year, it is a special TV station after all, and the entertainment is definitely not as strong as that of local TV stations, so the programs and evening parties of local TV stations are more popular. When the New Year's Eve parties of major TV stations start at 7:30, the grand occasion is really incomparable to those programs at other times.

After all, this is the annual New Year's Eve party, and everyone is on holiday. They have nothing to do but stay at home and watch their idols' performances to celebrate the New Year together. This is a very happy thing for those fans.

Just a few days ago, major satellite TV stations announced their own program lists and guest lists.

Among them, the person everyone is most concerned about is naturally Zhou Yu. It can be said that as the most popular artist this year, where he will spend the New Year's Eve is also the most concerned issue for everyone.

So when everyone saw Zhou Yu spending the New Year's Eve at CCTV, they were a little surprised, but not too surprised. After all, Zhou Yu has a very good relationship with CCTV, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is CCTV's favorite artist. After all, Zhou Yu's program "Chinese Poetry Conference" is currently on the air at CCTV, and he is also the ambassador of traditional Chinese medicine culture. CCTV even personally supported Zhou Yu before...

All these signs indicate that Zhou Yu now has a special relationship with CCTV, or that the higher-ups are very optimistic about Zhou Yu.

As Zhou Yu went to CCTV for the New Year's Eve party in his first year of debut, it is enough to show that Zhou Yu is now highly regarded by CCTV. After all, many people have worked hard for many years and have much higher qualifications than Zhou Yu, but they have no chance to be on CCTV's stage.

But Zhou Yu, a newcomer who has only been in the industry for less than a year, was on the list. The difference between him and the others was obvious.

However, some people not only pay attention to Zhou Yu, but also to others. For example, Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi's CP fans have been looking forward to the two of them working together again, looking forward to the two of them being able to spend the New Year's Eve on the same stage this time, and it would be best if the organizer could arrange for the two of them to perform together.

As a result, after the official announcement of the programs by major TV stations, Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi’s CP fans couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when they saw that the two were not on the same station.

"Alas! Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi are not on the same stage. I want to see them work together again."

"That's right. I haven't seen them working together for a long time. Could it be that they are deliberately trying to avoid suspicion?"

"Wow! Please, please, the two of you should be together. We really don't object."

……

At this moment, all major TV stations’ New Year’s Eve parties have begun broadcasting.

Yang Qian participated in the Mango TV New Year's Eve party this time. With her status, she basically appeared later. Sitting in the guest seat and watching the performances of other guests on the stage, Yang Qian felt a little bored.

I want to watch the New Year's Eve Gala on CCTV, but Zhou Yu hasn't appeared yet. When I asked Zhou Yu before, he said it would be his turn when it was almost over.

If you think about it carefully, Zhou Yu's current popularity and status are not low. Even if he is not the finale guest, his order of appearance will be relatively late.

Yang Qian turned her head and looked at Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao who were sitting in the row behind her, and asked sideways: "You two are playing in the midfield, right?"

This time, Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao both participated in the New Year's Eve party of Mango TV. In addition to being invited by the TV station, they are also participating in the Mango TV program "Singer". Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao are both very popular now. Since Wang Jiachao became popular again, he has gradually returned to the first-tier position. Zhao Lei is only one step away from the first-tier position.

However, they were able to sit in this relatively front position because Zhou Yu was behind them, so the TV station arranged it this way. Otherwise, even if they were very popular now, they would not be able to sit in such a front position, sitting behind a top-tier actress like Yang Qian.

Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao looked at Yang Qian and nodded: "Well, Sister Qian, you are going to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow, right?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhao Lei shook his head and smiled shyly: "No, it's just that Brother Yu is also in Beijing. I feel like you two haven't seen each other for so long, so this time we can get together."

Hearing this, Wang Jiachao had a strange look in his eyes. He secretly glanced at Yang Qian, then at Zhao Lei. Why did what this guy said feel a bit weird?

And looking at the smile in Yang Qian's eyes, she seemed to be looking forward to meeting her boss.

Is it...

Wang Jiachao has also been in a relationship, and Yang Qian’s look seems to explain something.

Forget it, forget it. This is something the boss and Yang Qian need to deal with. Why am I messing around here?

and many more……

Wang Jiachao suddenly thought of Wen Shiyi, especially the rumors about Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu on the Internet...

Are netizens buying the wrong couple?
Shaking his head, Wang Jiachao put the matter behind him. This was his boss's personal feelings, and it would not be nice for him to gossip about it.

But deep down he did want to gossip.

With the start of the live broadcast and the performances of the guests, the lively New Year's Eve party has already begun for nearly half an hour.

Lin Jiajia sat at home and watched the live broadcast of the New Year's Eve Gala. There were several stars that she liked, but they were not on the same channel. Fortunately, they were not on the same time slot. She watched the program of one TV station for a while, and then watched the program of that TV station for a while.

She calculated the time when Zhou Yu's performance would start before switching to CCTV to watch it.

Meanwhile, the major TV stations were also paying attention to the real-time data of the New Year's Eve party live broadcast. Because it was a live broadcast, the number of viewers could be seen.

The leading channel is Mango TV, followed by Blueberry TV and CCTV TV. However, the difference between the three channels is not that big, and the gap between the following channels is getting bigger and bigger.

Mango TV and Blueberry TV are basically ranked first and second every year, and the two major TV stations take the first place back and forth. As for CCTV, because of its poor entertainment value, its ranking is neither up nor down.

On CCTV, as the program gradually came to an end, Zhou Yu was already waiting backstage.

It was the first time for Zhou Yu to attend the New Year's Eve party at CCTV. He could clearly feel that the atmosphere at CCTV was very different from that at local stations like Mango TV. Because of the special nature of this place, the atmosphere seemed more serious, but overall it was pretty good.

Director Li looked at the live broadcast data in the background. CCTV was only ranked third among all the major TV stations. Although CCTV basically did not participate in the ratings competition of these TV stations, they still hoped to get a good result.

"It's Zhou Yu's turn..."

Director Li checked the time and saw that the live broadcast of the New Year's Eve Gala was almost coming to an end. He looked at the comments and saw that the support for Zhou Yu was getting higher and higher. This also showed how popular Zhou Yu was now. And judging from Zhou Yu's previous performances on local TV stations, Zhou Yu alone made the TV stations that had been at the bottom of the list for many years rush to the top in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

Now it is his turn soon. Director Li is looking forward to Zhou Yu's next performance. He wonders how much the number of viewers of the live broadcast will increase once he takes the stage.

As the host's announcement ended, when the host read out Zhou Yu's voice, the whole audience cheered, and even the live broadcast barrage was filled with comments from the audience.

"Here it comes! After waiting for so long, my husband finally comes on stage!"

"Zhou Yu Zhou Yu! I love you!"

"If nothing else, I came here just for Zhou Yu. Before that, I was watching programs on Mango TV."

"Haha! I came here just for Zhou Yu, and I tuned in to see him!"

"I wonder what kind of new song performance Zhou Yu will bring this time?"

……

With Zhou Yu's appearance, Lin Jiajia also transferred the TV station to CCTV.

After a period of darkness on the stage, the lights slowly came on, and the stage effects began to appear. Zhou Yu's tall figure in a black dress appeared in everyone's sight.

Just looking at Zhou Yu's appearance made many fans scream excitedly.

Meanwhile, Wen Shiyi was waiting on the Blueberry Channel, as she still had two shows to go before it was her turn. But now, she had already opened the CCTV live broadcast to watch Zhou Yu's performance.

When Sister Lin and Xiaoqin saw this scene, they looked at each other.

He even said that he didn't care about Zhou Yu, but now even with such a small matter, he has to watch his performance.

On Mango TV, Yang Qian was also sitting there wearing headphones and watching Zhou Yu's performance.

Seeing this, Wang Jiachao looked at Zhao Lei, and they both nodded in tacit understanding and smiled at each other ambiguously.

Brother Yu's peach blossom, tsk tsk tsk...

On CCTV, Zhou Yu's performance slowly began and the music started.

"Song title: Cultivating Love
Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."
