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

Chapter 277 Zhou Yu is a clown?
When Sister Lin heard what Wen Shiyi said, she looked at Wen Shiyi who was sitting next to her. Seeing that her expression didn't seem to change, she asked again.

"Shiyi, tell me, what are you thinking now? You and Teacher Zhou Yu, do you want to just give up, or..."

Sister Lin didn't finish her words, but observed Wen Shiyi's reaction.

Xiaoqin was driving and at this moment she leaned back slightly on the seat, her ears perked up, watching her boss's reaction through the rearview mirror.

Wen Shiyi was silent when faced with Sister Lin's question. She was very conflicted. Should she give up? But she was unwilling to do so. In their line of work, it was difficult to meet someone who was truly loved and suitable for them. Moreover, Wen Shiyi herself did not know what would happen to her if she left Zhou Yu.

After a long moment, Wen Shiyi shook her head.

"I do not know either."

Looking at the neon lights outside the window and the couples walking hand in hand on the street, Wen Shiyi's eyes were full of complexity.

Seeing this, Sister Lin also sighed.

"You..."

She didn't know what to say. The most important thing now was the problem with Teacher Zhou Yu. It was impossible for Zhou Yu not to change, or for no one of them to approach him. But Sister Lin also knew that Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu seemed to get along very easily. But in their hearts, each was prouder than the other. It was very difficult to make them bow their heads.

"You two like each other, but neither of you is willing to compromise. Teacher Zhou Yu doesn't want to be bound, and wants more freedom. And you want a world for two, the happiness of being together. You have different ideas, so let's see what you two will do."

Sister Lin shook her head and sighed: "If neither of you makes a change or compromise, then I think it's better to put out this little flame of love that hasn't even started yet."

Sister Lin was not kidding. For example, in the current situation between Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi, she felt that if the latter two did not change, there was really no need to drag it on. Even if you like each other, love requires sacrifice, and someone needs to compromise and change for love.

If neither of them compromises or changes, then even if they get together in the future, they will definitely have conflicts frequently, and in the end they may not even be able to be friends anymore.

If that's the case, it's better to let go sooner.

But when Sister Lin saw Wen Shiyi's hesitation, she knew that she was reluctant to do so.

Wen Shiyi listened to Sister Lin's words without saying anything.

She really didn't want to give up, she firmly believed that Zhou Yu's mind would definitely change in the future. What she needed now was time, time to spend with Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu came back from filming, Wen Shiyi thought she could spend more time with him to enhance their relationship.

Wen Shiyi felt that Zhou Yu was worried that he would not be able to adapt to that kind of life after the two of them were together. Then she could try to get along with him in life, let him feel it first, and adapt first. She really didn't intend to give up, even if she took the initiative again, she would be willing.

For her own happiness, Wen Shiyi was able to put down her status. And she knew very well that she could not get to this point without Zhou Yu's help.

Wen Shiyi really thought it was nothing to lower herself for him and actively pursue Zhou Yu. However, this was also the biggest change she could make in her current position. As for what Zhou Yu said, that after falling in love, she didn't want to be disturbed, and even pursued the freedom she wanted, Wen Shiyi really couldn't do it.

Looking at the night view outside, and the couples walking hand in hand, each with a happy smile on her face, Wen Shiyi was silent for a long time and just said "hmm".

……

This weekend, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi basically had nothing to do. They would visit the company from time to time, go shopping or have a meal together.

Today, Sunday, Yang Qianjie reported the news from the head of the animation department of the company, saying that "Tian Gang Zhuan" is almost completed, and the subsequent series of "The Bad Guys" has reached about 30 episodes and is still being produced.

When Yang Qian received this news, she was delighted.

The production of the animated film "Tian Gang Zhuan" based on "The Bad Guys" began last year, and it took almost half a year. Moreover, it mobilized the staff of her own company, Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi's company, as well as the staff of the cooperation with Penguin Video, and invested a lot of money to make it for such a long time.

"Mr. Yang, the animated film will be finished by the end of the month. I have a finished editing clip here and I'll send it to you when the time comes."

"Okay, just keep working on the follow-up episodes of The Bad Kids. The first season will be finished soon, and we'll have to pick up the annual series."

Now the first season of the anime "The Bad Guys" is almost finished, 12 episodes a week, from December to January, almost ending after the Spring Festival. At that time, they will cooperate with Penguin to directly announce the annual extra episodes and then update.

Now this animation has made them and Penguin Video a lot of money. An original animation that was not favored by everyone at the beginning has gradually become the number one domestic animation, surpassing "Against the Sky" on iQiyi Video, and its popularity and data are off the charts.

With this achievement, domestic animation deserves to be the number one!

For the subsequent episodes, Zhou Yu had already prepared the script, and the production team just had to follow the script.

However, Yang Qian was indeed very excited and surprised. When she first worked with Zhou Yu, she just thought the script was okay. At that time, she was preparing to enter the animation industry, so she thought of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, this try turned out to be the first in Chinese animation.

I have to say, this initial attempt was actually successful.

Yang Qian took a look at the edited clips sent to her, which were only about three minutes long. However, some wonderful clips from the movie were edited into it. After looking at the special effects modeling, Yang Qian was quite satisfied.

"Not bad."

Yang Qian found Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi's WeChat and forwarded the message to them. After all, they were both investors, Zhou Yu was a screenwriter, and now he was her boyfriend, so she had to tell him about these things.

"The follow-up series of The Bad Kids has been produced to about 30 episodes, and the movie of Legend of Tian Gang will be completed this month."

Yang Qian asked Zhou Yu: "Are you planning to release this movie in theaters? Or something?"

Zhou Yu had just finished filming and watched the clips sent by Yang Qian. He had to say that it was indeed in line with the effect he had in mind. It took more than half a year to produce and cost tens of millions, and the effect did not disappoint him.

As for the anime "The Bad Guys", the subsequent episodes have been produced to 30 episodes. These 30 episodes are not the progress of the original Earth. Zhou Yu changed and compressed them, accelerated the rhythm, deleted some unnecessary plots, and increased the length.

So one episode contains almost the same content as two episodes of the original novel on Earth.

These thirty episodes are almost the third season of the original novel.

As for whether the movie "Tian Gang Chuan" should be released in theaters, Zhou Yu thought about it before replying to Yang Qian: "Let's not go to theaters. The competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce, and we can't catch up. The traffic after the New Year is not big. We will broadcast it online and release it in the form of paid online movies."

Under the current circumstances, "Tian Gang Zhuan" can no longer catch up with the Spring Festival schedule. Moreover, Zhou Yu feels that under the current circumstances, the animation has not been broadcast yet, and the animation "The Bad Guys" needs to establish the character of the Marshal. So we have to wait until next month, when the plot of the animation will be almost in place.

And next month, especially after the Spring Festival and until the Lantern Festival, basically everyone will have time. The competition during the Spring Festival is too fierce, so Zhou Yu can wait until the popularity of the Spring Festival is almost over and release it online in the form of paid online movies.

Since it couldn't be shown in theaters during the Spring Festival, it would be a paid online movie. If he remembered correctly, the animation "Tian Gang Zhuan" was also released online on Earth in the form of an online movie, and the results were quite impressive.

The key point is that the animation of "The Bad Guys" is so popular now, and it is undisputedly the number one animation in China. This will be a great bonus for the movie. With the popularity of the animation, the attention of this movie will definitely be very high.

Moreover, although online movies are rare in the world, they do exist.

I can only say that there are too few good paid movies on the Internet.

Yang Qian was slightly stunned when she saw Zhou Yu’s reply. Not going to the theaters anymore?
Although it is true that it will not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival this time, it is still possible to find a good time to release it in theaters later, right?
The key is that paid online movies have always left a bad impression on people. Everyone thinks that only bad movies and low-budget movies go the online movie route. Yang Qian thinks that they invested so much in this film "Tian Gang Chuan" and put in so much effort, and the film is really good. If they don't compete for the box office, it would be a big loss.

“Aren’t we going to the theaters?”

Yang Qian typed out the questions in her mind.

Zhou Yu patiently explained: "We have invested tens of millions of yuan. If we go to theaters, the publicity cost will be too high, and the competition will be too fierce. If we go online, relying on the popularity of the animation "The Bad Kids", the film's performance should not be too bad."

"The most important thing is that we need to recover our funds now, and the online movie format is the fastest and best way..."

The investment in this film was indeed quite large, although the money was divided among himself, Yang Qian, Wen Shiyi and Penguin. However, due to the rush to meet deadlines and the use of top-notch equipment, the film cost nearly 100 million yuan. If you spread it out, each person invested nearly 10 million yuan.

Although this money will not cause the company to go bankrupt, now that the money has been lent out, they need to get it back quickly.

If you go with the cinema, there are more twists and turns involved, including all kinds of publicity and arranging screenings at major theaters. I don't know how much the cost will be. If you go with the form of online paid movies, you can do some publicity online and release it on Penguin Video, because it's all your own business, so you can save a lot of money.

Moreover, if the film is released after the Spring Festival, many people will not have time to go to the cinema to watch movies, and the box office performance is not guaranteed. If you invest so much, but the box office is too poor and you can't make back the money, it will be very painful.

Therefore, it is better to go for the online paid movie model, which is more cost-effective and convenient.

After listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, Yang Qian nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"Okay then. I'll talk to Penguin about it then."

"Well, you guys go ahead and talk. I'll be back as soon as I finish filming these few days."

Zhou Yu and Yang Qian were chatting, talking about "The Legend of Tian Gang" and Zhou Yu's return.

As Yang Qian was chatting, she couldn't help but tease Zhou Yu and sent him a selfie of her beautiful legs.

"Honey, please come back soon. I miss you so much that I can't sleep."

"Then do it yourself."

Yang Qian sent a puzzled expression. "Ah? Honey, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Zhou Yu secretly called her a demon and directly sent a message saying, "I will definitely teach you a lesson when I come back."

"Hehe, how do you want to educate others?"

"Of course it's the stick education."

Yang Qian was chatting with Zhou Yu, and when they had almost finished chatting, Zhou Yu left the room, saying that he was going to have a rest.

"Good night, dream about me~"

After finishing the chat with Zhou Yu, Yang Qian saw the message Wen Shiyi had replied to her half an hour ago. She had been chatting with Zhou Yu and forgot to reply to her.

Wen Shiyi: "The movie looks pretty good. Qianqian, have you sent it to Zhou Yu? He asked when it will be online?"

Yang Qian told Wen Shiyi what she had just said to Zhou Yu. She thought Wen Shiyi might be asleep by now, but she received a reply just a short while after she sent the message.

"What Zhou Yu said, it is indeed better to go with the online movie model. Let's discuss it with Penguin when the time comes."

After Wen Shiyi sent a message to Yang Qian, she clicked on Zhou Yu's WeChat and hesitated for a moment, wanting to take this opportunity to chat with him. But after looking at the time, he seemed to be resting abroad, right?

After hesitating for a while, Wen Shiyi stepped out and chatted with Yang Qian about "The Legend of Tiangang".

“Once the production is finished this month, we can start promoting it.”

Wen Shiyi thought for a moment and said, "If it is released after the Spring Festival next month, then we can wait until the movie promotion boom of the Spring Festival is over, and then we can start promoting it."

In this situation, the entire network is promoting the movies of the Spring Festival. After all, the Spring Festival is an annual event, and the competition for movies during this period is the most intense except for the summer season. If they promote at this time, a large part of the traffic and exposure will be covered by these movies of the Spring Festival.

Therefore, if they go online after the Spring Festival next month, they can avoid the limelight. At that time, the publicity can play the greatest role.

Yang Qian thought so too.

"Well, sure. But I have to talk to Penguin tomorrow about the online paid movie. After all, they are also a partner and a platform."

……

Time flies, the weekend is over in a flash, and a new week is coming. It is already January 23rd, and there is only one week left until the Spring Festival.

Today is also Monday, a very ordinary Monday, but today is not ordinary for Zhang Junjie’s fans and Zhou Yu’s fans.

Because everyone knows that today at noon is the day when Zhang Junjie’s second new single will be released.

This was something Zhang Junjie had announced before, and everyone knew that they just had to wait patiently until noon. But on Zhou Yu's side, many people had been expecting him to announce the official announcement and new songs, but it was already Monday, and there was still no news.

Lin Jiajia was browsing Zhou Yu's Weibo, and then visited the Weibo of Zhou Yu's good friends such as Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian, and looked at the Weibo of Zhou Yu's company, but there was no movement at all.

“Is there really no new songs?”

It's already Monday, and Zhang Junjie's second new single will be released at noon. But Zhou Yu's second new song has not been released yet, and there is no news at all, despite everyone's anticipation and speculation for so long.

This made Lin Jiajia and many of her fans panic. Did they guess wrong before? Zhou Yu only prepared the new song "Stranded" and no other new songs?
But this is not Zhou Yu's style at all, taking the initiative to fight Zhang Junjie. As a result, Zhang Junjie's new song has not been released yet, is Zhou Yu going to end?

The winner of the song hasn't been decided yet, which makes everyone feel a little unsatisfied, and even a little regretful.

As for Mr. Wang from Starlight Entertainment, he was a little confused when he saw that Zhou Yu had not officially announced the new song, but he immediately sneered in his heart.

"This guy is quite smart. He was evenly matched with Zhang Junjie with the song "Shelved", so he decided to quit while he was ahead. This saved his reputation. If he releases a new song and it doesn't perform as well as the first one, and loses to Zhang Junjie, it would be embarrassing."

Xiao Wang always felt that Zhou Yu was worried about losing in the future, so he was planning to stop releasing new songs. In this song, in the first duel with Zhang Junjie, the two were evenly matched. This alone has made Zhou Yu famous. Everyone said that Zhou Yu can now be on par with Zhang Junjie, the number one in the Chinese music scene.

This has raised Zhou Yu's status in the music industry to a very high level. If Zhou Yu does not release a song, there will be no results in the future. He has maintained this performance. If he loses to the new song, he will fall from the altar, which is a great shame.

Not only Xiao Wang always thinks so, but Liu Zifan and others also think so.

"This guy doesn't release new songs. He must be worried about losing later."

He sneered. Zhou Yu was really smart. He used this method to raise his position, and then he just kept quiet. Haha, he really had a good plan.

However, it seems that this situation can be used to create some trouble for Zhou Yu.

As expected, when some marketing accounts and people from other companies saw that Zhou Yu had no news about his new songs by Monday, they couldn't sit still. A tall tree attracts the wind, and many people in the circle can't stand Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu stands too high, blocking the financial path of many artists in the company. Once everyone seizes some opportunities, they will start to create some trouble for Zhou Yu.

The same thing, even if we can't kill Zhou Yu, it's okay if we can cause some negative impact on him.

"Zhou Yu has no new songs!"

"Zhou Yu is scared!"

"Zhou Yu's initiative is like a joke!"

"Zhou Yu has already lost!"

……

Many of them were bought by major companies to become trending searches, and some were led by major marketing accounts.

"Did you see that? Zhou Yu has released a new song and then there has been no news since then. I guess he won't release any new songs anymore."

"Haha, he had announced loudly before that he would compete with Zhang Junjie, but now, before the winner is even decided and Zhang Junjie even has a new song, he's running away. What a coward."

"That's right. Zhou Yu has a very good plan. He has made a song "Shelved" that is on par with Zhang Junjie, and he has raised his status. He will not release any more songs. What is this called? As long as I don't release new songs, I won't lose. I really admire him."

"That's right, Zhou Yu looks like a joke right now. I really despise him."

……

Suddenly, on Monday morning, many people were discussing whether Zhou Yu had a new song. And under the operation of some companies and marketing accounts, they began to frantically lead the rhythm to criticize Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yufa’s fans saw this, they were naturally unwilling to accept it, but they couldn’t seem to find anything to fight back against. After all, what these people said was true. Zhou Yu really had no new songs to release, and there was no news or movement at all.

Even Zhou Yu's fans, some rich and beautiful women with connections, started looking for people from Zhou Yu's company. After all, people like them, such as the big sisters, must have had contact with Zhou Yu's company, and they were considered semi-official.

As for the company, it only responded to all the fans and major fan groups with one sentence.

"Everyone, please be patient, there will be a surprise."

This news instantly excited Zhou Yu's fans.

Any surprises?
Is it a new song?
In fact, Lin Jiajia also hangs out in a large fan group of Zhou Yu. After seeing this news, her eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, he is holding back a big move."

Judging from the message sent by the staff of Zhou Yu’s company, Zhou Yu definitely will not have no new songs as he said before.

"Haha, it looks like some people are going to get slapped in the face later."

The farce on the Internet continued, from around 8am to 10am. Many companies and marketing accounts were involved in Zhou Yu's rhetoric, constantly smearing him.

Zhang Junjie was also a little confused when he saw this scene.

"Does Xiao Zhou really have no new songs?"

This shouldn't be the case.

He felt that Zhou Yu was not the kind of person who would back down at the critical moment.

However, at this moment, he received a WeChat message from Zhou Yu.

Upon seeing this news, Teacher Zhang Junjie also showed a smile on his face.

"This kid is still playing this trick on me."
