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

Chapter 305 Waiting for Zhou Yu to fall from the altar?

Zhou Yu covered his face and was driven out by Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian. Looking back at Wen Shiyi's villa, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that it would take some time to get together.

However, Zhou Yu was quite satisfied with the current situation. As long as the two of them didn't argue or quarrel, and were fine, he could accept it. As for the good things that were waiting to happen, Zhou Yu thought it was better not to rush. Being too anxious would be counterproductive.

The current situation is already very good. Just take your time. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

He drove away directly because there were still some things to deal with at the company. The movie "Charlotte's Troubles" was about to be released and promoted, and he had to do a lot of things. After all, this movie was his first directorial work, and it was related to the subsequent development of the company in the film and television sector. Not only him, but also Penguin attached great importance to it.

Now Zhou Yu's cooperation with Penguin is getting deeper and deeper. The investors of this film "Charlotte's Troubles" are not only him, but also Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian. Penguin has also invested in it. Regarding Zhou Yu's film, Penguin has been communicating with Zhou Yu's company these days to see how to promote it in the future.

So Zhou Yu is still quite busy during this period.

In the villa, Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian watched Zhou Yu drive away. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Wen Shiyi took Yang Qian's hand, pulled her back to the sofa and said, "Let's ignore him and talk about our own things."

Yang Qian nodded. She had thought that she would have a falling out with her best friend when she came back this time. But after coming here, the result was totally beyond her expectations.

She didn't want to think too much, she just needed to know that she and Wen Shiyi didn't have to break up, and...

Because of Zhou Yu, the two of them now seem to be much closer.

Wen Shiyi pulled Yang Qian to the sofa and asked her in a low voice: "Qianqian, when you were doing that with Zhou Yu, was he very..."

Although Wen Shiyi was embarrassed to finish her words, Yang Qian saw her expression and guessed what she wanted to say. She nodded immediately and said with deep emotion.

"That's right, this guy is really like an animal. Every time I see him, I feel like I'm about to fall apart..."

……

Zhou Yu was busy promoting the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" these days, and Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian often played together these days. These two investors completely handed the movie over to Zhou Yu to handle, and they asked their companies to fully support Zhou Yu no matter what he did.

Finally, on June 10th, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles", which had been preheated for more than a week, was officially announced.

Originally, such a pure comedy movie would not have attracted much attention after its release date. However, Zhou Yu's Weibo, Zhou Yu's company, Penguin, Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian all released the news at the same time. Everyone took a look and realized that although the male and female protagonists were not big names, Zhou Yu was the second male lead, and it was also Zhou Yu's first directorial work. It instantly set the Internet on fire.

"Charlotte's Troubles is set to be released on July 1st!"

"Zhou Yu's first directorial work is set!"

"Charlotte's Troubles Zhou Yu male second!"

"Can a movie directed and acted by Zhou Yu be a hit?"

……

Zhou Yu and his team just announced that the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" will be officially released on July 1st. Not long after, it became a hot search.

As for how much people are looking forward to the movie itself, that is not the case at all. Although the male and female protagonists have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, they are not well-known. Many people don’t even know Wang Teng and Li Li. The reason why everyone is so concerned about this "Charlotte's Troubles" is purely because of Zhou Yu.

This is Zhou Yu's first directorial work, and Zhou Yu did not play the leading male role, but instead played the second male role, which is also a point that makes everyone curious.

Zhou Yu's talent is obvious to all. I won't say much about the music or the script, but his acting skills are also top-notch. The movie "Detective Chinatown" released during the May Day holiday, starring Zhou Yu, has already grossed over 1.5 billion yuan, a cliff-like number one in the May Day box office. It is even speculated that before "Detective Chinatown" is released this month, the box office of this movie has a chance to exceed 2 billion yuan.

In this world, the highest box office of a movie today is only 1.8 billion, and there is no movie that can break the 2 billion box office mark yet.

Although the box office growth of "Detective Chinatown 3" has declined a lot, the total box office has exceeded 1.7 billion yuan, and there is still a shortfall of 300 million yuan. Everyone thinks it is still possible to make a breakthrough.

As for Zhou Yu's film, everyone knows that Zhou Yu is not only the male lead, but also the screenwriter, adding a lot of comedy elements to it. Judging from the box office performance and reputation of "Detective Chinatown", it is undoubtedly a success. This is also Zhou Yu's attempt to test the comedy market, and everyone knows it.

However, when the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" directed by Zhou Yu was officially announced, many people were not optimistic about the movie.

"Although I am optimistic about Zhou Yu's talent, there hasn't been a single pure comedy movie that has become popular in recent years."

"Yes, ever since the Hong Kong comedy king retired, domestic comedy films have been on a downward trend."

"Zhou Yu previously added so many comedy elements to the movie Chinatown Detective, and although it was successful, Chinatown Detective is not a pure comedy movie. Its core is still about suspense and solving crimes. His movie Charlotte's Troubles is a pure comedy. The key is that the male and female protagonists are so bad, it feels like it will flop."

"I feel like it's going to flop. Zhou Yu is too bold. I think if he makes other movies, with his talent, the results will definitely be good."

"Well...it's too early to say that. Zhou Yu is always the type to surprise people. Maybe he can bring comedy to the forefront?"

……

Many netizens are not optimistic about Zhou Yu's film. There is no way, comedy films have not been popular in recent years. Zhou Yu is so bold to shoot a comedy film, everyone thinks he is undoubtedly seeking death.

Even though many people are looking forward to Zhou Yu's movie, they still feel that it is likely to flop.

Even the CEO of Gu Tang Entertainment, Mr. Wang from Starlight, and other people in the industry were happy when they saw that Zhou Yu's movie was scheduled to be released.

"Haha, Charlotte Troubles, what a ridiculous name, it looks like she's going to fail."

"It just so happens that all the movies invested by various companies will be released during the summer vacation, so let's see if you, Zhou Yu, can do it."

……

It is already June, and the summer vacation is getting closer and closer. Every summer vacation is the time when the box office competition is the most intense, except for the Spring Festival. And the hit movies every year are basically released during the summer vacation and Spring Festival.

For such a good schedule, the major companies in the industry will definitely not give up. The four major companies and other entertainment companies all have their own movies to be released during the summer vacation. Even this month, some movies have been scheduled to be released one after another. The competition for the summer schedule has actually started in June.

Gu Tang Entertainment lost to Director Chen and Zhou Yu's "Detective Chinatown" in the May Day movie. The box office was not high, but not low either, barely 500 million yuan. After deducting the cost and other miscellaneous expenses, it actually didn't make much money.

During the May Day holiday, they encountered "Detective Chinatown", and the entire May Day holiday traffic was sucked up by this movie. Although they ranked second, the box office gap with "Detective Chinatown" was too big. But fortunately, they made some money.

As one of the four major companies and a company mainly engaged in film and television, they naturally cannot miss the summer season.

This time, the movie they released in the summer season is no longer the youth idol love movie starring Lin Yifan before. It is a big investment movie, a myth, legend, demon and monster work, with a huge investment. And the cast of the movie is also very strong. As a group portrait movie, the actors they invited this time are all top-notch big names in the circle, with both popularity and strength, and each of them has strong box office appeal.

"I still don't believe it this time. With this lineup, even if the competition is fierce during the summer season, it should be no problem for this pure comedy to suppress Zhou Yu."

The boss of Gu Tang Entertainment touched his chin and a smile appeared on his face.

Although he was a little worried, after all, the competition in the summer season was too fierce, and they could not guarantee that they could win the box office championship in the summer season. As for Zhou Yu, he was not too worried, even though Zhou Yu tried the comedy element in "Detective Chinatown" and it was quite successful.

But this movie of his is a pure comedy, and the male and female protagonists are not big stars, so it has no box office appeal.

Anyway, neither he nor other people in the industry are very optimistic about Zhou Yu's movie.

At Starlight Entertainment, Mr. Wang also frowned slightly as he looked at the news about the release date of Zhou Yu’s film.

This time, their company also has a police and gangster movie to be released, which is a collaboration with a company in Hong Kong. The protagonists are all superstars in Hong Kong, and they have strong box office appeal.

However, this time, he did not jump to conclusions. He had fought with Zhou Yu several times, and Mr. Wang had become much more mature mentally.

He did not belittle Zhou Yu casually, nor did he think that he would be able to suppress Zhou Yu this time.

He has become very objective now.

“I just don’t know if his movie can be successful.”

Mr. Wang was thinking to himself, however, he really hoped to see Zhou Yu's movie flop.

Because Zhou Yu walked so smoothly, he didn't want to see Zhou Yu walking so smoothly, even if Zhou Yu fell once.

This is not only the voice of Mr. Xiao Wang, but also the voice of many artists in the industry and entertainment companies. Zhou Yu has been on a very smooth journey since his debut, no, it can be said that from the moment Zhou Yu participated in "Idol Son" last year. So far, Zhou Yu has never fallen.

Even when he was participating in "Son of the Idol", he was suppressed by Star Entertainment, Huatian Entertainment and Taoyuan Film Studio, and ultimately failed. Zhou Yu made a strong debut and ascended to the top of the list with unstoppable momentum.

Now he has become a new god in the Chinese music scene, and has even made achievements in the script and film and television sectors.

It went too smoothly, and Zhou Yu got too many resources by himself. The key is that he alone can't get so many resources, and many resources are not popular with other artists and entertainment companies. Instead, most of the good resources are digested by Zhou Yu's company.

Now Zhou Yu's artists, Zhao Lei, Wang Jiachao and Yang Zihan, are becoming more and more popular. Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao have already reached the first-tier status, and Yang Zihan has also risen from the third-tier position to the top of the second-tier.

Even though Zhou Yu's company was just established not long ago, its resources are not inferior to those of the old big companies in the industry because of Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu even forcefully intervened from the already fixed cake seat and bit off a large piece of cake.

This not only affects the interests of many artists in the industry, but also the interests of many companies.

But now Zhou Yu's career is so good and stable, and he has the support of CCTV, so no one dares to mess around. Therefore, they can only hope that Zhou Yu can fall from the altar.

This summer's box office competition is also seen by everyone as a rare opportunity.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, didn't care about all this. When she returned home today, Wen Shiyi had already prepared dinner for her.

This time Zhou Yu did not go to Wen Shiyi's house, but Wen Shiyi came to Zhou Yu's house. Yang Qian had left these days, busy discussing a new drama, so Wen Shiyi often came to help Zhou Yu clean up the house.

While sitting at the dining table eating, Wen Shiyi looked at Zhou Yu, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"What's wrong? You look like you have something to tell me."

Zhou Yu also noticed Wen Shiyi's expression and asked softly.

Wen Shiyi pursed her lips and asked Zhou Yu: "Do you have time to help me write a new song recently? It's summer vacation now, and it's graduation season. I haven't released a new song for a long time. I want to release a new song to give back to my fans."

"But if you're busy, forget it. After all, the most important thing is to have free time for the movie."

Wen Shiyi had actually planned to ask Zhou Yu to help her write a new song, but seeing that he had been busy with movie matters recently, she didn't want to disturb him.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he thought it was some big deal.

It’s just writing a new song, simple as that.

However, he still pretended to be embarrassed and stared at Wen Shiyi with a malicious smile.

"Well...of course you can."

"But it depends on your performance."

Wen Shiyi looked confused. Look at my performance?

The next moment, seeing Zhou Yu's eyes staring at her lips, Wen Shiyi's pretty face turned red, and she stretched out her little foot under the table and kicked him.

"Be more serious."

"No, I'm serious. I'm so busy right now, so I'm writing a song for you, you have to show some appreciation."

Wen Shiyi glared at Zhou Yu with a red face and lowered her head, as if the sound was squeezed out of her throat.

"eat quickly."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's okay now."
