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

Chapter 271 I was sentenced to lifelong loneliness by love!
Lin Jiajia listened to the prelude of Wang Jiachao's new song "Silence". As the prelude ended, Wang Jiachao's singing sounded in her ears.

"Can't help but turn into a stubborn fish

Swim alone against the ocean current to the end

A vow I made sincerely when I was young

Silently sinking in the deep sea..."

When Wang Jiachao's voice sounded, Lin Jiajia felt a sense of amazement, which made her get goose bumps. Wang Jiachao's voice is originally a kind of low and smoky voice. When he sang "Silence", he had a unique charm that caught people's ears immediately.

Moreover, Lin Jiajia could clearly hear that Wang Jiachao used Jiayin to make the sound quality much softer, which was more in line with the mood of the song.

"Revisit several times

The end result is still losing you..."

The rhythm of the music gradually quickened, as if it was accumulating some kind of power, ready to explode at any time.

"I was sentenced to lifelong loneliness by love
Don't fight back, don't let go
The endless circle drawn by the pen

The fate that fills the heart

It's you……"

Listening to Wang Jiachao's song "Silence", the whole song gives people a simple and clean feeling. The low singing of the main part creates a rich emotional feature. And Wang Jiachao's solid and granular smoky voice adds a bit of stickiness to the song, making the listener's emotions firmly stick to the mood of the song.

"In the chorus, Wang Jiachao did not use a simple progression to elevate the melody, but left some space. The ending sound has a melodious charm, which makes the song sound more spatial and memorable."

Lin Jiajia's eyes sparkled. This was her feeling after listening to the first half of Wang Jiachao's new song. In general, it was a good song, and Wang Jiachao's singing was also amazing.

"This song feels like it will be a hit, and it's no worse than the new song Zhao Lei released yesterday."

This is Lin Jiajia's current inner thought. At present, Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao's two new songs are not bad, and their singing is also very good. The competition between the two on the new song list is probably a bit fierce.

However, what Lin Jiajia is most looking forward to is the showdown between Zhang Junjie and Zhou Yu next week.

This battle between two gods is the duel that she and everyone else are most looking forward to!
“Why does love condemn all beings to loneliness?
Can't escape, can't escape

The knot in the brow that cannot be untied
The unavoidable calamity of fate
It's you
Ah, I lost you
Ah I lost you..."

At the end of the song, Wang Jiachao's voice had disappeared, but it still gave people a lingering feeling, making people feel a little bit unsatisfied.

"Wang Jiachao's new song is really good. It looks like he will be able to become one of the top singers with this song."

Wang Jiachao is currently in the middle of the first-tier. If nothing unexpected happens, the song "Silence" written by Zhou Yu for him will definitely become a hit. With this song and his performance in "Singer", it will be no problem for him to reach the top of the first-tier.

Once you are on the first line, it is very difficult to take one step forward. Now Wang Jiachao is going to be at the top of the first line, and the next step is to be a superstar. However, not everyone is as amazing as Zhou Yu, who swept the superstars in a short period of time after his debut and won all the individual awards of the Golden Melody Awards to reach the top. Even if Wang Jiachao has Zhou Yu's help, it will probably take another year or two for him to become a superstar.

After listening to Wang Jiachao's new song "Silence", Lin Jiajia picked up the tablet to write the manuscript, then clicked play and wrote while listening.

In the whole song, apart from the lyrics and music written by Zhou Yu, the most eye-catching part is Wang Jiachao's own singing. His rhythm, the division and grasp of short sentences all present a sense of time, which makes people sound a little desolate but full of forbearance and insight.

It can be said that Wang Jiachao’s performance was really eye-catching, and he interpreted the song written for him by Zhou Yu very well.

The song Zhou Yu wrote for Wang Jiachao was released on April 2015, 4, and is also the theme song of the movie "Silent Separation". Sung by Na Ying, with lyrics by Yin Yue and music by Qian Lei, this song was considered a relatively popular song that year. What really made this song popular was Jay Chou's adaptation of the song that year.

Jay Chou's adaptation and singing can be said to have injected a whole new soul into the song, making it popular all over the country.

Jay Chou and Li Ronghao's performance on the same stage and the participation of two powerful singers have made this song known and loved by more and more people.

Zhou Yu gave this song to Wang Jiachao to sing this time because he felt that he was more suitable for this song. Zhou Yu has always felt that Wang Jiachao is very similar to Li Ronghao, especially the pair of small eyes, which are really similar.

At this moment, the discussion about Wang Jiachao's new song "Mo" has been very heated on the Internet.

"Have you listened to the new song released by Wang Jiachao today? This song is so beautiful!"

"It's really nice, Zhou Yu wrote it well, and Wang Jiachao sang it well too!"

"Hehe, now I see Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao fighting among themselves, haha."

"That's normal. They chose to release new songs one after the other. They must have planned to compete with each other."

"But what I'm most looking forward to now is the match between Zhang Junjie and Zhou Yu next week."

……

Now on the new song list, Zhao Lei's new song "Our Time" is firmly in the first place because it was released yesterday. Wang Jiachao's new song "Silence" is temporarily ranked second, which is also a good ranking. Moreover, since the beginning of this month, many singers in the circle have released new songs. When Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao released new songs, they directly squeezed out the others. This also shows that their popularity and influence in the music scene have far exceeded many singers.

Lin Jiajia looked at the new song list of Penguin Music. Currently, Zhao Lei ranked first and Wang Jiachao ranked second. No matter who wins or loses, the leaderboard will change next week. And she saw that there are many people who will release new songs next week. However, after Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie officially announced that they would release new songs on the 15th of next week, many singers chose to postpone the release.

This is clearly because they don't want to compete head-on with Zhou Yu and Wang Jiachao. After all, no matter who they are, they will die if they fight against each other, not to mention that they are releasing new songs at the same time. This is a battle between the two of them, a battle between two gods, and ordinary people like them will not get involved.

Originally everyone was thinking about releasing new songs in the first month of the new year, and even deliberately avoided some big-name singers in order to achieve good results. But now that Zhou Yu and Wang Jiachao are on the list, what is there to strive for?

In the following days, on the new song chart, Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao's new songs were in a close race, and they took turns to top the list. But this was no longer important to them, as their new songs were far ahead of other singers, and they were also far ahead in terms of online popularity.

Zhou Yu looked at the data of Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao’s new songs and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. Lei Zi should be able to make it to the top this time, and Chao Ge is also firmly in the top tier. Let them participate in more shows and activities to increase their exposure."

At present, besides himself, the company only has two artists, Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao. The better they develop, the sooner he can retire. Running around is really too tiring. If it weren't for the company and to be able to lie down better in the future, Zhou Yu would have been ready to move behind the scenes.

But now, after Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao were promoted to the top, the company was earning more and more money. It was indeed getting better and better for the company's development.

"Well, there's also Yang Zihan who's going to sign a contract at the end of the month. It's time to promote her then."

Zhou Yu had not forgotten Yang Zihan, whom he had talked about before. After calculating the time, her contract with her original company was about to expire at the end of this month. Recently, she had already proposed not to renew the contract with her original company, but the original company did not want to let her go.

Although Yang Zihan's status is not high now, she is only in the fourth tier. But after participating in the singer, her popularity has increased a lot. She is in the rising period of her career. Her original company will not let her go so easily. After all, with the popularity of "Singer", she has made a lot of money in the past two months. If she develops well in the future, it is still possible to promote Yang Zihan to the second tier or the first tier.

By then, the ability of a second-tier or even first-tier female group singer to make money will be much stronger than it is now.

Zhou Yu was sitting in the studio taking a rest. Director Chen and his team were instructing them on how to arrange the scenery for the next scene, and some adjustments needed to be made.

Zhou Yu looked at Ning Wanqiu, who was wearing a simple black windbreaker and jeans. The weather was warmer in Country T, so she didn't wear a sweater. She looked very tall, with a mature and gentle temperament.

"Sister Ning, how is Yang Zihan doing?"

When Ning Wanqiu heard Zhou Yu mention this, she tucked a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear and spoke in a gentle voice.

"She really wanted to come here, but her former company didn't want to let her go."

Ning Wanqiu didn't think this was a problem: "But it doesn't matter. When the contract expires, there's nothing we can do if they don't want to let me go."

But she hesitated for a moment, Ning Wanqiu was a little worried: "What I am most worried about now is that if Yang Zihan does not agree to renew the contract, her original company may take action against her."

If you can't get it, destroy it. This is a common tactic used by many entertainment companies. Basically, many entertainment companies will negotiate with artists they value before their contracts expire, hoping to keep them.

But if there are many who disagree, then basically these entertainment companies will resort to some means. At first they will threaten you with some small food and wine, and if you still disagree, they will completely destroy you. Whether it is spreading rumors or real black material, or even banning you, they have plenty of means.

Just like what happened between Wen Shiyi and Star Entertainment before.

If they can't get it, they'll destroy it or ban it. This is what entertainment companies often do.

When Zhou Yu heard what Ning Wanqiu said, he felt that it made sense. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Sister Ning, if necessary, ask the company to contact Yang Zihan's original company."

Although his company is only a new company in the industry, it has certain strength and power. Zhou Yu also learned that Yang Zihan's original company was not a giant company, but a second-rate company in the industry, which was neither good nor bad.

If they are not tactful and want to play some dirty tricks on Yang Zihan, I will definitely not ignore it.

He is not afraid of giants like the Big Four and Taoyuan Factory, so would he be afraid of such a small company?

This is also his confidence now. He is the capital, and he still has connections and resources. Therefore, he is not afraid of such a small company. Ning Wanqiu also nodded: "Okay, I will have someone pay attention to it later."

Ning Wanqiu has been with Zhou Yu for a long time and knows his personality and some of his plans for the future. The company is going to develop into a large entertainment company, involving music, film and television dramas, and it must sign more artists. An all-round entertainment company must have artists. It's just that the company's main business is still music, so it pays more attention to singers like Yang Zihan.

The company's subsequent business development will definitely rely on film and television dramas, and Zhou Yu also told her that he wanted to build the company into a creator of major IPs. Although it was unknown where Zhou Yu got this confidence from, Ning Wanqiu was extremely convinced when he said this.

At least for now, Zhou Yu's ability in music and scriptwriting shows his ability to create major IPs.

At present, the company's animation IP "The Bad Guys" has been successfully created. Now its popularity has soared, and the data has skyrocketed, becoming the number one domestic animation. Moreover, this is an original domestic animation, which stands out among many domestic animations adapted from IP novels, which already shows the success of this animation.

There is also the variety show IP "Chinese Poetry Competition", which is also so successful now, which proves Zhou Yu's ability to create IP.

Many entertainment companies in the industry now want to create a closed-loop entertainment ecosystem, with music, film and television dramas, and variety shows produced and sold by themselves, forming a closed loop. They not only have artists such as singers and actors, but also behind-the-scenes workers such as screenwriters, directors, lyricists, and composers.

This is the ecosystem that a mature entertainment company should have. Just like the four major companies, they all have their own areas of expertise, but they are not limited to this area. So, what Zhou Yu wants is to create the first ecological entertainment company in China.

Although it is difficult, how can you know that you cannot succeed if you don’t try?

"Oh, by the way, Sister Ning, please help me turn down any work that's coming up after the New Year. I'm going to learn photography, and I might want to be a director and shoot a movie myself."

He has a lot of good scripts in his hands now, and if he wants to find a good director to work with, that's fine. But he doesn't want to do that, he wants to do it himself, which is risky but can maximize the benefits. In the future, the company will develop into an all-round entertainment company, and these projects will definitely not be given to others to do, they must be done by themselves.

Ning Wanqiu nodded. Recently, Zhou Yu has been reading materials on this subject whenever he has free time. He even often follows Director Chen to learn on the set.

"Okay, but you'll be very busy with your work before the Lantern Festival."

Although he runs his own company and has a high degree of freedom, Zhou Yu, a top artist, still has a very full schedule. Especially now that the Spring Festival is approaching, in addition to filming here, he sometimes has to attend other activities. And this month, he has to go back to China twice to participate in the second and third rehearsals of the Spring Festival Gala.

"It's okay. I can accept being busy before the New Year."

Ning Wanqiu handed him the water and said, "The day after tomorrow is the 15th. Penguin Music has already said that they will give you the best recommendation position."

She looked at Zhou Yu. In fact, besides netizens, they, the locals, were also looking forward to the showdown between him and Zhang Junjie.

"The competition between you and Teacher Zhang has attracted more and more attention in the past two days. Everyone wants to see who will win in the end."

After Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie interacted online, they added each other's contact information privately. Although they didn't chat much recently, they got along well. This time, both of them knew that it was just a friendly match. Both Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie were looking forward to this match and wanted to see their current strength.

A recognized number one in the Chinese music scene, a new god in the Chinese music scene today, they have already reached the pinnacle of music, and it is not easy to meet such an opponent, so naturally they have to have a good fight with him.

Zhou Yu smiled. He was also looking forward to it.

"It's the 15th. I'm getting a little nervous myself."

……

And just tonight, Wen Shiyi sent over the demo of the recorded "Hua Xin".

"I just recorded it today. Please listen to it first. If it doesn't work, please tell me and I will record it again tomorrow."

Zhou Yu didn't rush to reply her, but clicked on the demo recorded by Wen Shiyi and listened to this short clip. Wen Shiyi's voice is very suitable for this song, and with her singing skills, she has no problem mastering this song.

"Sure, no problem. Have you sent it to Director Guo and the others and have they listened to it?"

After all, Director Guo is the director, so Zhou Yu thinks there is no problem with it, but the opinions of Director Guo and his team cannot be ignored.

Wen Shiyi has returned to Zhonghai now, leaning on the big bed at home. The air conditioner is on in the house, and it is much warmer inside than outside. She is covered with a quilt, revealing a pair of white and tender feet, with her left foot folded on her right foot, and her cute toes slightly raised. Her slender hands hold the phone, and her fingers tap lightly on the screen.

"It's published. Director Guo said there's no problem with it. Since you also said there's no problem, then we'll just use this version?"

As soon as the message was sent, Wen Shiyi, perhaps feeling that the tone was a bit too stiff, sent a cute, questioning expression.

"Okay, let's use this version."

Zhou Yu asked, "Are you going back to Zhonghai now?"

"Yeah, I came back last night."

Wen Shiyi thought about it and asked Zhou Yu with concern again.

"How are you doing over there?"

"It's OK. We're filming every day now and it will be finished by the end of the month."

The two chatted, but they didn't feel the awkwardness of a failed confession. Wen Shiyi pursed her red lips, hesitated for a long time, typed out a line of words, but thought about it and deleted it.

"Your new song will be released the day after tomorrow. Are you nervous about competing with Mr. Zhang Junjie this time?"

"To be honest, I'm still a little nervous."

Zhou Yu had just been chatting with Wen Shiyi when Yang Qian sent a message.

"My dear, I'm done with my recent work and will be going back to Zhonghai to attend an event. I'll be free then, so I'll come find you."

Yang Qian directly sent an emoticon of expectation, and it was her own.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu exited the chat interface with Wen Shiyi and started replying to Yang Qian.

"No need. You've been busy for so long and you must be very tired. Just rest at home after you're done. Wen Shiyi just told me that she's gone home too, so you two can have some company."

Yang Qian was leaning against the bedside with a facial mask on, expecting Zhou Yu to reply and agree to her visit. But when she saw the message Zhou Yu sent, Yang Qian couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Zhou Yu was chatting with Wen Shiyi just now.

She couldn't help but ask, "Were you chatting with her just now?"

Zhou Yu looked at Yang Qian's words and seemed to be able to feel her resentment through the screen.

"Yeah, what? Are you jealous?"

"Humph! I'm not. Shiyi is my best friend. Why would I be jealous?"

Although she said this, Yang Qian was still quite panicked. She knew how her best friend felt about Zhou Yu, and she had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell her best friend about her relationship with Zhou Yu. But she never found the chance, so she thought that she could take this opportunity to have a good talk with her best friend.

Although the two are good friends, since it concerns her lifelong event, Yang Qian feels that she still has to make things clear to Wen Shiyi.

"Really? I thought you were jealous."

Zhou Yu was chatting with Yang Qian. Yang Qian said she wanted to come see him, and Zhou Yu told her to have a good rest at home.

"I'm almost done filming here and will be back at the end of this month. You just stay home and have fun."

"If you don't have anything to do, come to my house and help clean it up. I can move in directly when I come back."

Yang Qian curled her lips: "Okay."

Since Zhou Yu had said so, Yang Qian couldn't say anything else. She also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Wen Shiyi. If this incident affected their relationship because she didn't tell Wen Shiyi, she felt that it would be a loss.

Although she now felt that if she told Wen Shiyi, it would most likely have an impact, but at least it would make her feel more at ease.

"Then take care of yourself over there."

"I wish you victory in the competition with Zhang Junjie the day after tomorrow!"

Yang Qian sent Zhou Yu an emoticon of encouragement, and then sent a voice message.

"Come on, I'll reward you when you come back, my dear brother Zhou Yu~"
