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

Chapter 270 Silence!
After Director Chen told Zhou Yu about this, he called his good friend Director Guo.

"Hey, Lao Guo, I've told Zhou Yu about your situation. Can you send me the outline of the script? OK, I'll give it to you and you two can talk about it."

Director Guo in China also had a look of joy on his face after hanging up the phone. He looked at the theme songs that were piled up on his desk and that he had asked someone to write recently. However, among so many, there was not a single one that satisfied him.

For him, a good film or TV work must have a good theme song. Moreover, the films he shoots are all mythological and ghost-themed films, which require songs with more ancient charm. So when he couldn't find a suitable theme song, Director Guo thought of Zhou Yu.

After all, Zhou Yu has released many high-quality songs in the field of ancient music. Recently, I heard from my good friend Director Chen that Zhou Yu was filming a movie with him, and he asked Director Chen to contact Zhou Yu.

“I just don’t know if Zhou Yu can write the feeling I want.”

After opening WeChat and adding Zhou Yu, Director Guo first sent some polite greetings.

"Hello, Xiao Zhou. I'm Guo Ming. Lao Chen should have told you just now. I'm sorry to bother you this time."

After all, they were the ones who asked Zhou Yu to do something, and with Zhou Yu's current status, there were countless people who asked him to write songs. So even though he was a big director, when facing a singer and artist of Zhou Yu's status, and he was asking for help, he was more humble.

Zhou Yu was also playing with his phone and chatting with Director Guo while taking a break.

"It's okay, Director Guo, just send me the script outline first, but I can't guarantee that I can write it."

After all, if the show wasn't good, Zhou Yu wouldn't write the theme song. But he couldn't just say, "Your script isn't good, this show is terrible, I don't want to write it." So he could only give Director Guo a heads-up, saying that he wasn't omnipotent, and could only try his best. As for whether it would work, that was hard to say.

"Okay, it's okay, just do your best. I'll send you the script outline right away."

Director Guo quickly sent the script outline to Zhou Yu. Knowing that Zhou Yu was currently filming on the set, he did not disturb him too much.

"Then I won't disturb you from filming, Xiao Zhou. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Ok."

After finishing his chat with Director Guo, Zhou Yu took advantage of his free time to look at the script outline of "Painted Skin", a movie that Director Guo and his team are going to release during the Spring Festival.

This movie, in outline, tells the love story between a demon and a human. It is a relatively old-fashioned ghost and love movie. In the previous life on Earth, this kind of movie was considered very old-fashioned. But in this world, it has only become popular in the past two years and has a relatively wide audience.

After learning about the story of the movie, Zhou Yu felt that the plot was pretty good, at least for this world. And judging from Director Guo's previous works, the quality of Director Guo's films is quite high.

"You can give it a try."

Zhou Yu searched in his mind, and when he finished reading it, he had a general impression in his mind.

"The song Hua Xin is quite suitable."

Zhou Yu immediately responded to Director Guo.

"Director Guo, I took a look at the script and it's pretty good. I'll find time to write the theme song and send it to you. You can take a look at it when the time comes."

Director Guo was still telling the crew that he had tried to contact Zhou Yu for the theme song and that he would get a reply soon. But it wasn't long after he finished chatting with Zhou Yu, about 20 minutes later, that Zhou Yu got a reply.

"So fast?"

Director Guo was also somewhat surprised at Zhou Yu's speed. When he saw Zhou Yu's message saying that he could give it a try, Director Guo was delighted.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhou, when you're done with your work, just write the theme song and send it to me."

However, the Spring Festival is approaching now, and Director Guo was afraid of delaying it too long, so he added this sentence.

"But Xiao Zhou, you have to give it to me before the end of the month. You know, the Spring Festival is coming soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Zhou Yu said directly: "It's okay, I will write it when I get home tonight and send it to Director Guo directly."

Will you write it when you get home tonight?

Director Guo was quite impressed by Zhou Yu's creative talent. He could write songs as soon as he said he would. It turned out that this genius could not be viewed from the perspective of ordinary people.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to hearing from you."

Director Guo was actually very optimistic about Zhou Yu. He had listened to several of Zhou Yu's ancient style songs before and thought they were all good. This time, when he asked him to write the theme song, Director Guo thought that since Zhou Yu had said so, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Considering Zhou Yu’s talent, the songs he wrote should be very good.

Zhou Yu had already decided on the song. After filming, he would write it and send it to Director Guo when he got home in the evening. This would not take up much time for him.

When preparing to start the third scene this afternoon, Director Chen also asked Zhou Yu with a smile.

"How is it? Lao Guo sent you the outline of the script, right? Do you think you can write it?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The script is OK, I can write it."

"Okay, I'll tell Lao Guo that I can definitely find you."

Director Chen asked Zhou Yu again: "We will be able to wrap up the filming by the end of this month. I will find a good time to go online after the New Year."

He looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn photography by yourself? You must want to be a director in the future. I can recommend you to study at Beijing Film Academy."

Director Chen knew Zhou Yu's future plans, and he often passed on his experience to Zhou Yu during recent filming. To be honest, Director Chen really liked this talented young man.

He could also see Zhou Yu's talent in screenwriting and photography.

Zhou Yu was also happy when he heard Director Chen say this.

"That's fine. Thank you Director Chen first."

He will definitely learn photography in the future, as he has a lot of good scripts. If he keeps looking for others to collaborate with, he will not be able to maximize his profits and will definitely suffer losses.

Therefore, it would be best if you learn to be a director yourself, recruit some professional directors for the company, and produce IPs yourself.

"You are very talented in this area. I look forward to your future works as a director."

Director Chen is very optimistic about Zhou Yu, and even feels that Zhou Yu will definitely have a place in the film and television industry in the future.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Then I need to learn more from Director Chen."

……

In the evening, Zhou Yu returned to the hotel to rest and wrote the theme song for Director Guo.

The song "Hua Xin" is very suitable for the movie "Painted Skin", and Zhou Yu himself also feels that Director Guo's movie has the shadow of the drama on Earth. So it is more appropriate to give Director Guo this song "Hua Xin".

"Director Guo, I sent you the theme song. Please take some time to read it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

Zhou Yu originally thought that it was so late, Director Guo would be on vacation and would reply to him tomorrow. But Director Guo's reply came not long after he sent the message.

"Okay Xiao Zhou, I'll take a look at Geha first."

Director Guo has been waiting for Zhou Yu's new song. Today Zhou Yu told him that he would send it to him as soon as he finished composing it in the evening, so he has been waiting. After all, he has already found so many musicians to write the theme song for the new movie, but he has never been satisfied. This time, he finally found Zhou Yu to help them write the theme song through Lao Chen's relationship. Director Guo will not be able to sleep tonight if the theme song is not sent to him.

I opened my email and saw the new song Zhou Yu sent me.

"Painting Heart..."

The title of this song is quite suitable for the new movie.

Director Guo continued to read on. Although there were only lyrics and music scores, he knew a little about music. As he read on, Director Guo's hand began to tremble as he moved the computer mouse.

"This...this song..."

Director Guo was very excited. After watching it, he felt refreshed and all the sleepiness he had felt while waiting for the new song disappeared.

"This song is so good! It fits the movie so well!"

During this period, Director Guo had seen more than 10 or 20 theme songs written by other musicians, but none of them satisfied him. Today, after seeing the theme song written by Zhou Yu, Director Guo finally saw Zhou Yu's talent and realized the difference between other musicians and Zhou Yu.

Others have spent so much time writing theme songs, but none of them satisfied him. But today, after watching Zhou Yu's song, the feeling that Director Guo wanted came to him all of a sudden. The lyrics are very consistent with the theme of the movie, and the feeling of ancient style and charm that he wanted is also there.

Director Guo immediately forwarded this song to the crew group.

"Haha, Lao Zhang, Lao Liu, take a look at this theme song written by Zhou Yu. I'm very satisfied with it. It's really great!"

The entire group included not only the screenwriters and producers of the crew, but also the entire cast. Director Guo had said before that he was going to ask Zhou Yu to compose a theme song for the movie. Everyone thought it was a bit difficult at the time, as Zhou Yu's current status and position in the music industry were top-notch, not inferior to Zhang Junjie at all.

There are many people who ask Zhou Yu to write songs for them, but I have never seen Zhou Yu write for them. Even some invitations to write songs for film and television dramas were rejected by Zhou Yu. Basically, the people Zhou Yu wrote songs for were those around him.

I heard that this time it was Director Guo who used Director Chen's connections to get in touch with Zhou Yu.

Everyone was a little curious about what the theme song written by Zhou Yu, who is known as a musical genius, was like that could make Director Guo so excited.

After everyone in the group read the song written by Zhou Yu, they were even more excited than Director Guo.

"Oh my god! This is indeed Zhou Yu. The quality of the theme song he wrote is totally different from others!"

"Really? This song by Hua Xin is so suitable for our movie!"

"This ancient style and charm is worthy of Zhou Yu, it feels so good!"

"@Guo, have we decided to use Zhou Yu's song as the theme song for our movie? I really like his work!"

……

Director Guo saw that everyone had such high praise for the theme song written by Zhou Yu, and he also responded in the group.

"I invited Zhou Yu this time because I owed Lao Chen a favor. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go talk to Zhou Yu about this song first." Director Guo was already replying to Zhou Yu regardless of what other people in the group were talking about.

"Xiao Zhou, your song is great! It can be used as a theme song!"

Seeing that Director Guo was satisfied, Zhou Yu also sent a smiling face.

"It's fine."

Director Guo also said directly: "The contract also needs the price, I have asked someone to contact your team. I really want to thank you, Xiao Zhou. Without you, I don't know how long it will take to finalize the theme song."

"Director Guo, you are too polite."

After all, Zhou Yu and Director Guo had never met each other and were not very familiar with each other, so they were somewhat polite when chatting.

During the conversation, Director Guo asked Zhou Yu: "Xiao Zhou, who do you think is more suitable to sing this song? Do you want to sing it yourself?"

When asking this question, Director Guo was expecting Zhou Yu to answer that he would sing it himself. After all, Zhou Yu's popularity and influence are so high now, if he sings the theme song, it will undoubtedly be the best promotion for the movie. With Zhou Yu's popularity, if he sings the theme song of the movie, it will definitely make more people pay attention to their movie.

Zhou Yu thought about it and typed a reply: "Director Guo, do you have any singer candidates?"

"I don't have that one, Xiao Zhou, do you have any recommendations?"

Zhou Yu thought about it and said, "I think we can ask Teacher Wen Shiyi to sing this song. I think it would be better if a girl sang it."

Director Guo felt a little disappointed when he saw Zhou Yu’s answer. It turned out that it wasn’t Zhou Yu himself who sang. It seemed that the huge traffic was gone.

However, when he saw that Zhou Yu was talking about Wen Shiyi, his originally lost mood suddenly became filled with hope.

Wen Shiyi, the queen of the music industry, has a very good relationship with Zhou Yu. There are even many CP fans about her and Zhou Yu on the Internet. In terms of popularity and influence, although Wen Shiyi is not as good as Zhou Yu today, she is also very strong, and her singing skills are also excellent.

Since Zhou Yu was not planning to sing the theme song, Director Guo felt it was acceptable to let Wen Shiyi do it.

"Xiao Wen! That's fine!"

Director Guo was excited. He thought it was a good idea to have Wen Shiyi sing the theme song.

"Then I'll talk to her first, and then I'll ask her to contact you, Director Guo, directly."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Xiao Zhou. It's getting late, and you've been filming all day, so I won't bother you any more."

After finishing the chat with Zhou Yu, Director Guo went to check the messages in the group. The leading female actors and the second female actors were asking him questions.

"Director Guo, Director Guo, will Zhou Yu be the one to sing the theme song?"

"Yes, Director Guo, if Zhou Yu comes to sing, will we have a chance to see him in person?"

"He's my favorite singer. Woohoo! I'm really looking forward to him singing the theme song."

……

Director Guo smiled when he saw the news. They were probably going to be disappointed.

"You may be disappointed. Zhou Yu will not sing the theme song."

This disappointed everyone in the group who had been looking forward to Zhou Yu singing the theme song and fantasizing about being able to chase their idol in person.

"Ah? Zhou Yu himself is not singing the theme song he wrote?"

"What a pity! I thought I could meet Zhou Yu in person and take a photo with him. I love listening to his songs so much!"

"@Guo, if Zhou Yu doesn't sing the theme song of our Power Supply, who will sing it?"

……

Director Guo saw that everyone was very concerned about the theme song, so he didn't keep it a secret.

"This is currently supposed to be sung by Wen Shiyi, and the details are still being discussed."

Zhou Yu said before that he would go back to communicate with Wen Shiyi, but there is no news from Wen Shiyi's team yet, so we probably have to wait.

When everyone heard that the theme song was sung by Wen Shiyi, the feeling of loss in their hearts was not so strong. After all, if Zhou Yu didn't come to sing the theme song, Wen Shiyi, a very popular star, would be fine. And everyone knew the relationship between Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu, and there were even so many CP fans of Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi on the Internet.

"Wen Shiyi, that's not bad either."

"Hey, Zhou Yu wrote the theme song for Wen Shiyi to sing. Can I gossip about that? Are they really having something going on?"

"I also want to ask, are they really together?"

"What are you thinking about? Stop gossiping here. They are just good friends."

……

The gossip atmosphere in the group was quite strong, especially among the actresses. Women are naturally gossipy. Now seeing that Zhou Yu did not sing the theme song he wrote, but gave it to Wen Shiyi, coupled with the rumors and gossips about the two of them on the Internet, everyone had to think too much.

At this moment, Zhou Yu told Wen Shiyi about this matter and sent her the song "Hua Xin".

"How about it, are you free? If you are free, you can record and sing this theme song that I wrote for Director Guo and the others."

Since the last time, Zhou Yu's chats with Wen Shiyi were quite normal, and he could also feel Wen Shiyi's usual care for him. She often sent him greetings, reminded him to wear long underwear when it was cold, or told him to take a rest and not to be too tired.

He himself can feel Wen Shiyi's feelings, but Wen Shiyi is not like Yang Qian, who can compromise and change for him. But Wen Shiyi now can't do that, so Zhou Yu likes her, but can't accept it.

Wen Shiyi had just finished a commercial performance today and returned to the hotel to rest. After seeing the message Zhou Yu sent her, she also took a look at the songs Zhou Yu sent her.

"Painting Heart..."

The songs written by Zhou Yu are of very high quality. Wen Shiyi has nothing to say. And since Zhou Yu has asked, there is nothing for her to refuse.

"Sure, but I'm only free this weekend. Give me Director Guo's contact information and I'll contact him. Once the recording is done, I'll send it to you guys to listen to first."

"No problem. I prepared this song for you when I wrote it. It's very suitable for you."

Zhou Yu did think so. When he was preparing to use this song as the theme song for Director Guo's new movie, the most suitable singer in his mind was Wen Shiyi.

When Wen Shiyi saw Zhou Yu's words, her eyes flickered.

Was I the first person he thought of?
Wen Shiyi was actually very conflicted recently, and she had been thinking about her and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu wanted freedom and didn't want to be bound, so he refused to be with her. Even if he liked her, he chose the freedom he wanted most.

Wen Shiyi didn't want to compromise at the beginning. Because in her opinion, after two people are together, they have to make changes and live in their own world of two. Especially after getting married and starting a family, they naturally have to take care of the family and put the family first.

So she kept hesitating, thinking about waiting for Zhou Yu to change, until Zhou Yu's mind became more mature, and then the two of them could be together.

But during this period of time, she couldn't calm down at all. Zhou Yu was too outstanding, and there were too many women eyeing him. What if he was snatched away by someone else?

In addition, Zhou Yu cared about her so much, which made Wen Shiyi a little hesitant.

Should I compromise?

Wen Shiyi hesitated a little. After finishing her chat with Zhou Yu, she kept holding her phone, looking at her friends on WeChat, pursing her red lips, and wanted to find someone to chat with. Then she found her best friend Yang Qian's WeChat, clicked into the chat interface, and looked at the time. It was already late.

"Let's find a chance to talk to her in person later and ask her what she should do."

……

The next day, after Zhao Lei’s new song was released yesterday, Wang Jiachao’s new song arrived as promised.

Lin Jiajia had already been waiting early, and when the time came, she clicked on the interface of Wang Jiachao's new song.

Song title: Silence

Vocals: Wang Jiachao
Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

From the moment she heard the prelude of this song, Lin Jiajia probably understood what type of new song Zhou Yu wrote for Wang Jiachao this time.

"I didn't expect it to be a modern love song..."

Listening to the piano-based melody, Lin Jiajia was not that surprised. Modern love songs are the type of songs that Wang Jiachao is good at. This time it was a new song written by Zhou Yu for him, so the quality must be good.

But what made her curious was that Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao's new songs were released one after another. Before Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie's new songs were released, there must be a fight between the two of them. Who will win or lose is still unknown.

After all, both of them are very talented, and the new songs were all written by Zhou Yu. If they want to decide who is better, they have to see whose songs the audience likes more.

At this moment on the Internet, when Wang Jiachao's new song was released, Zhou Yu, Zhao Lei, and Yang Qian all helped to promote the song.

"Wang Jiachao's new song is online!"

"Wang Jiachao's new song Mo!"

……

Wang Jiachao's new song is also on the hot search list. For him, his popularity is really not low now. In fact, because the show "Singer" has just been aired not long ago, with the popularity of the show, his popularity is close to that of top singers.
