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

Chapter 302 Car accident
The movie "Detective Chinatown" became a hit. Within two days of its release during the May Day holiday, the word of mouth of the movie exploded, and its box office results also soared.

In just less than three days, the box office of the movie "Detective Chinatown 3" directly exceeded 200 million. Even on the second day, it had already topped the May Day box office, surpassing the previous pre-sale box office No. 1 of "My Youth".

It can even be said that after the release of the May Day movies, the reputation and quality of various movies have been seen by all. Director Chen's new movie "Detective Chinatown" has received great reviews and its quality is also beyond reproach.

During the pre-sale, it lost to Gu Tang Entertainment's movie "My Youth" by a narrow margin. But now that the movie is released, people no longer just watch the promotional clips on the Internet, but watch the entire movie to evaluate it.

It can be said that among the many movies released during the May Day holiday, the quality of the movie "Detective Chinatown" is absolutely top-notch, and its box office performance is leading by a huge margin. The youth idol movie previously made by Lin Yifan and his team is now only ranked second in the May Day box office. Moreover, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" starring Zhou Yu is more than twice as much.

"Detective Chinatown 3" is completely ahead by a huge margin.

What shocked everyone the most was not the box office performance of this movie, but the plot of the movie after being modified by Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's performance in the movie as the leading actor for the first time.

It can be said that after watching this movie, although everyone does not know what the original plot is like. But the plot presented is exceptionally wonderful, with full comedy and suspense effects. And Zhou Yu's performance in it is completely beyond everyone's expectations. I know that Zhou Yu has good acting skills, but I didn't expect that he would perform so well in his first role as the male lead. The key is that he can handle acting with so many powerful actors in the movie.

Many people's feeling after watching this movie is that Zhou Yu does not look like a new actor at all, but rather like a veteran actor who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time.

Nowadays, the hot search list is dominated by Zhou Yu and his team's movie. Basically, more than half of the top ten hot searches are related to "Detective Chinatown".

"The Chinatown Detective storyline is so exciting!"

"Zhou Yu's acting is really good!"

"Qin Feng played by Zhou Yu is so handsome!"

"Chinatown Detective's box office has exceeded 300 million!"

……

As one of the four largest companies in China, Gu Tang Entertainment relies heavily on the film and television industry. This time, "My Youth" was released during the May Day holiday, which is an important project in Gu Tang Entertainment's film and television investment in the first half of the year.

The cost is very high. Of course, this so-called cost is the salary cost of Lin Yifan and others. This kind of youth idol movie, excluding the actor's salary, actually has a small investment. It does not require any expensive special effects, just find a school to shoot.

What they valued in this movie was Lin Yifan's popularity and his box office appeal. The two movies he starred in before had very high box office, and one of them even broke 1 billion.

Even if it is a little more expensive, as long as the box office is over 500 million, they will be very satisfied.

But now, looking at the situation, during the May Day holiday, all the traffic of movies was sucked up by "Detective Chinatown". The box office of "Detective Chinatown" has exceeded 300 million, and here, except for the pre-sale and the first day of release, the box office growth has slowed down a lot. So far, the box office has only exceeded 180 million.

The key point is that this is not the most important thing. In the movie "Detective Chinatown", everyone in the film and television industry has already seen the threat posed by Zhou Yu.

Good acting skills, high traffic, and even can be said that no one can compare to Zhou Yu in terms of traffic now. He is completely the kind of person who leads by a cliff in traffic and popularity. The key is that Zhou Yu is not just a vase. Not to mention music, he is the new god of the Chinese music scene. It can be said that the Chinese music scene now belongs to Zhou Yu's era. In terms of acting skills and scriptwriting ability, he is also not bad.

Zhou Yu's entry into the film and television industry will block the path of many popular actors. Even some talented young actors will have to worry about their jobs.

When looking for actors, you are also handsome and have traffic, but Zhou Yu has all of these, and is more popular than you. The key is that he also has acting skills. Why do you need these vase-like young actors? The same is true for talented young actors. You have acting skills, and Zhou Yu also has them, and he is so popular. No matter what, people will choose Zhou Yu.

"This guy's acting skills are so good."

Previously, Zhou Yu made a cameo appearance in "The Legend of Yunxi", but his role was too small, so people didn't have a deep impression of him. But now, Zhou Yu is starring in Director Chen's movie, and he is acting with a group of powerful actors, so the feeling is very direct.

"Did you notice that Zhou Yu's acting is really great? He can totally handle the scenes with Teacher Hu Wei."

"Indeed, I had thought that Zhou Yu, as a newcomer in the entertainment industry, would not be able to handle acting with so many teachers. But now it seems that I was overthinking."

"Oh my god! What on earth can't Zhou Yu do? He's handsome, talented, can play music, and now his acting is so good. Please, let a man like this date me for once."

"And don't you think the plot of the movie is very exciting? Director Chen said that this is the plot adapted by Zhou Yu."

"Indeed, Zhou Yu is very good at screenwriting. I am beginning to look forward to his own movie that will be released this summer."

……

On the Internet, everyone is discussing Zhou Yu’s wonderful performance in the movie "Detective Chinatown".

Many people also discovered that there seemed to be a lot of comedy elements in this movie. As we all know, Director Chen's movie style does not have any comedy elements, so it is obvious that Zhou Yu added them in.

This made some people in the circle understand instantly.

"This guy is testing the waters for himself with this movie."

It was previously reported that the film Zhou Yu shot himself was a comedy, and now he has added so many comedy elements to Director Chen's film. Isn't it obvious that he is testing the waters with this film?

The key point is that judging from the current box office results of the movie "Detective Chinatown 3", it is very successful.

"Haha, this guy is quite interesting."

"However, this Chinatown Detective is not a pure comedy after all. It just adds some comedy elements into it. The main plot is still a suspenseful case. If Zhou Yu's movie is a pure comedy, then the result would be a little unpredictable..."

This is what many people in the industry think. Even though they know that Zhou Yu added comedy elements to Chen's "Detective Chinatown" to test the market, and the results are not bad, but people do not think that the comedy film shot by Zhou Yu himself will be a big hit in the summer vacation. After all, the comedy film he shot is a pure comedy movie, and apart from him, there are not so many big names joining in, so the box office appeal is limited.

Although Director Chen's film has some comedy elements added by Zhou Yu, the cast is very strong and the core is still a suspenseful detective story, so the comedy elements are just the icing on the cake.

However, some people are still a little worried that Zhou Yu’s movie, which will be released in the summer vacation, may become a bomb.

After all, no one is absolutely sure. Before the movie is released, everything is just speculation. Time flies, and the May Day holiday is over in the blink of an eye.

After Yang Qian came back and stayed with Zhou Yu for a while, she went back to work. As for Zhou Yu, after the filming of the movie, he was not as busy as before. Now the post-production of the movie is almost completed. It will be submitted for review this month. Calculating the time, there will be a result in June. At that time, it is still possible to schedule it directly in the summer vacation.

As for Wen Shiyi, she has been busy with work outside since she left last time and has not returned. Even on WeChat, she has not had any contact with Zhou Yu and the others during this period. Apart from posting some work news and her photos on Weibo, Zhou Yu has no news about her.

Zhou Yu felt that Wen Shiyi might have made her choice. Since she chose to go out to work and hadn't contacted him for so long, it meant that Wen Shiyi had chosen to give up on them.

Maybe it was just as he had guessed before, either Wen Shiyi compromised, or they would no longer be able to be friends.

However, on May 15th, Zhou Yu had just returned from work when he saw a piece of news that a serious car accident had occurred on the highway from Hangzhou to Zhonghai City, and the casualties had not been reported so far.

The moment Zhou Yu saw the news, his heart skipped a beat and Wen Shiyi's figure instantly appeared in his mind.

Although they haven't been in touch recently, he has friends like Sister Lin and Xiaoqin. Wen Shiyi didn't post on WeChat Moments, but Xiaoqin did last night. Their activities in Hangzhou have ended, and they are going back to Zhonghai today to participate in a show.

Calculating the time, their activities are over and it's almost noon. Let's have lunch and leave. We are on the way now...

Zhou Yu quickly searched the Internet and immediately saw Wen Shiyi and her friends' car in a video. Zhou Yu was very familiar with this car because Sister Lin and her friends often drove it out for social events. Although the scene was fleeting, Zhou Yu recognized it at a glance when he saw the familiar rear end of the car.

Although the license plate number was blurred, he still recognized it. Zhou Yu's heart beat faster even when he saw the car lying across the middle of the road with a dent in the middle.

I quickly found Wen Shiyi's phone number and called her. The call went through, but no one answered.

Zhou Yu became even more anxious now. He called several people in succession, and then called Sister Lin and Xiao Qin, but still no one answered.

Zhou Yu immediately lost his composure. At this moment, Yang Qian called him. As soon as he answered the phone, she spoke with a hint of tears in her tone.

"Zhou Yu, I watched the news and saw Shiyi and her friends' car in the car accident video..."

Yang Qian was still working in another city, but she had just seen the video of the car accident. She could not mistake the fleeting shadow of her best friend's business car. The car was obviously hit and parked sideways in the middle of the road, with the rear part dented. She called Wen Shiyi and Sister Lin, but no one answered, which made Yang Qian anxious.

Zhou Yu heard the cry and worry in her tone, and even though he was very anxious, he still comforted her.

"Don't panic. I'm looking for someone to ask. I'll tell you if there's any problem. Don't think too much. I think the car's condition isn't serious. It should be fine."

"But...but I couldn't get through to Shiyi and Sister Lin..."

Yang Qian sounded really anxious, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't worry. There's such a big thing going on over there. They must be busy. They may be cooperating..."

"Don't think too much about it, I'll go check it out right away."

After Zhou Yu hung up the phone with Yang Qian, he immediately prepared to drive out and ask someone for help to find out the situation.

However, shortly after Zhou Yu left the community, the phone suddenly rang. It was Wen Shiyi calling. Zhou Yu immediately pulled over and answered the call.

"Hey, Shiyi, how are you guys? Are you okay? Where are you now?"

On the other end of the phone, Wen Shiyi could no longer control her emotions as she listened to Zhou Yu's anxious yet worried voice, and her voice was trembling a little.

"Zhou Yu! I want to see you! I want to see you right now!"

Zhou Yu heard her voice, which was still crying despite her trying to suppress her emotions, and his heart trembled, and he asked quickly.

"Okay, I'll be right there, where are you guys?"

"Zhonghai First People's Hospital..."

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat. Was he admitted to the hospital?

But I was relieved, at least it was not the worst outcome.

"I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu turned around and drove towards the hospital.

Along the way, Zhou Yu also called Yang Qian back, wanting to tell her about Wen Shiyi's situation.

"I was just about to tell you. Shiyi just replied to my message. She is fine and in the hospital."

"I received it too, and I'm on my way there now."

Yang Qian urged, "Take good care of her."

"Don't worry, just work with peace of mind. I'm here."

Zhou Yu was actually quite scared. When he heard the news and saw Wen Shiyi's car, he felt as if his breath had frozen. It was not until just now, when he heard Wen Shiyi's voice, that the stone in his heart fell.
