My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The film “Detective Chinatown” was a big hit. It was released two days after the May Day holiday, and the reputation of the film was explosive, and the box office performance was also soaring.

In less than three days, the box office of “Detective Chinatown” 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 “My Youth”.

It can even be said that after the May Day movies were released, the reputation and quality of various movies that topped the list are obvious to all. Director Chen’s new movie “Detective Chinatown” has a great reputation and the quality is also impeccable.

During the pre-sale, although 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 those promotional clips on the Internet, but watch the whole movie to evaluate it.

It can be said that the quality of the movie “Detective Chinatown” is completely top-notch among the many movies in the May Day period, and the box office performance is even more cliff-leading. The youth idol movie that Lin Yifan and his team had before is now only ranked second in the May Day box office. And the box office of “Detective Chinatown” starring Zhou Yu is more than twice as much.

“Detective Chinatown” is completely leading by a cliff.

What shocked everyone the most was not the box office performance of this movie, but the plot of this movie after it was changed by Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu’s performance in it as the first star of a big screen movie.

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 particularly exciting, with full comedy and suspense effects. Moreover, Zhou Yu’s performance in the film was completely beyond everyone’s expectations. We knew that Zhou Yu had good acting skills, but we didn’t expect that he would perform so well in his first role as the leading actor. The key is that he can handle the scenes with so many powerful actors in the film.

After watching this film, many people felt that Zhou Yu didn’t look like a new actor at all, but rather like an old actor who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time.

Nowadays, the hot search list is dominated by Zhou Yu’s film. Basically, more than half of the top ten hot searches are related to “Detective Chinatown”.

“Detective Chinatown” is so exciting!”

“Zhou Yu’s acting skills are so good!”

“Qin Feng played by Zhou Yu is so handsome!”

“Detective Chinatown” has a box office of over 300 million!”

…

As for Gu Tang Entertainment, as one of the four major companies in China, the film and television industry is their main pillar. This “My Youth” launched on May Day 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 refers to the cost of Lin Yifan and his salary. This kind of youth idol movie, apart from the actor’s salary, actually does not require much investment. No expensive special effects are needed, just find a school to shoot.

What they value in this movie is Lin Yifan’s traffic 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 it can have a box office of more than 500 million, they are very satisfied.

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

The key 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 of Zhou Yu.

Good acting skills, high traffic, and even can be said that no one can compare with Zhou Yu in terms of traffic now. He is completely the kind of person who leads the way in traffic and popularity. The key is that Zhou Yu is not a vase. Not to mention music, the new god of the Chinese music scene, it can be said that the current Chinese music scene belongs to Zhou Yu’s era. Besides, his acting skills and scriptwriting ability are not bad either.

Zhou Yu’s entry into the film and television industry will block the way for many traffic actors, and even some talented young actors will have to worry about their jobs.

Looking for actors, you are also

Zhou Yu has all the good looks and traffic, and he is more popular than you. The key is that he also has acting skills. Why do you need these young and pretty boys? The same is true for talented young actors. You have acting skills, Zhou Yu has them too, and he is so popular. No matter what, people will choose Zhou Yu.

“This guy, his acting skills are so good.”

Before, Zhou Yu made a cameo appearance in “The Legend of Yunxi”, but his role was too small, so everyone didn’t feel it so deeply. But now, Zhou Yu is starring in Director Chen’s movie, and he is acting with a group of talented actors. This feeling is very intuitive.

“Have you noticed that Zhou Yu’s acting is really great? He can handle acting with Teacher Hu Wei.”

“Indeed, I 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 can Zhou Yu not do? He is handsome, talented, can play music, and now his acting is so good. Please, let such a man have a relationship with me.”

“And don’t you think the plot of the movie is very exciting? Director Chen said that this is a plot adapted by Zhou Yu.”

“Indeed, Zhou Yu is really good at being a screenwriter. I am looking forward to his own movie that will be released in the summer.”

…

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

And many people also found that there seems to be a lot of comedy elements in this movie. According to what everyone knows and is familiar with, Director Chen’s film style does not have this comedy element at all, so it is obvious that Zhou Yu added it.

This made some people in the circle understand it instantly.

“This guy is using this movie to test the water for himself.”

It was previously reported that Zhou Yu’s own film was a comedy, and now he has added so many comedy elements to Director Chen’s film. Isn’t it obvious that he is using this film to test the water.

The key is that from the current box office results of the film “Chinatown Detective”, it is very successful.

“Haha, this guy is a bit interesting.”

“However, this Chinatown Detective is not a pure comedy after all, it just adds some comedy elements, and the main line is still suspense and solving the case. If Zhou Yu’s film is a pure comedy, then the result is a little unpredictable…”

This is what many people in the circle think at present, even if they know that Zhou Yu added comedy elements to Director Chen’s “Chinatown Detective” to test the market, and the result is not bad. However, 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 to join, so the box office appeal is limited.

Although Director Chen’s movie was added with some comedy elements by Zhou Yu, the cast is very strong, and the core is still suspense detective, and the comedy elements are just icing on the cake.

However, some people are still a little worried that Zhou Yu’s movie to be released in the summer vacation may be a hit.

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 can be submitted for review this month. Calculating the time, there will be a result in June. At that time, it is still possible to directly schedule it in the summer vacation.

As for Wen Shiyi, she has been busy working 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 a choice. Since she chose to work outside and had not contacted him for so long, it meant that Wen Shiyi had chosen to give up on them.

Perhaps it was really as he had guessed before, either Wen Shiyi compromised, or they really couldn’t even be friends.

However, on May 15th, Zhou Yu had just returned from the company and saw a piece of news that a serious car accident had occurred on the highway from Hangzhou to Zhonghai City, and the current casualties were as of now.

The moment Zhou Yu saw this news, his heart “clicked”, and his mind was filled with

Wen Shiyi’s figure popped up instantly.

Although they haven’t been in contact 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 to participate in a program today.

Calculating the time, their activities have ended, and it’s almost noon. They will have lunch and leave. They are on the way now…

Zhou Yu quickly searched the Internet and instantly saw Wen Shiyi and her car in a video that was exposed. Zhou Yu is very familiar with this car, because Sister Lin and her friends often drive it out for social events. Although the picture flashed, 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. Even looking at the car lying in the middle of the road with a dent in the middle, Zhou Yu’s heartbeat accelerated a lot.

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

Zhou Yu was even more anxious now. He called several people in a row, and then called Sister Lin and Xiaoqin, but no one answered.

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

“Zhou Yu, I saw the news and saw Shiyi and her car in the car accident video…”

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

Zhou Yu heard the tears and worry in her voice. Even though he was very anxious, he comforted her.

“Don’t panic, I’m looking for someone to ask. I’ll tell you if there’s any situation. Don’t think too much. I think the car is not in a serious condition. It should be fine.”

“But…but I can’t get through to Shiyi and Sister Lin…”

Yang Qian sounded really anxious. As she spoke, she couldn’t help crying.

“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. I’ll go check it out right away.”

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

However, not long after Zhou Yu left the community, the phone suddenly rang. It was Wen Shiyi who called. Zhou Yu immediately pulled over and answered the phone.

“Hello, Shiyi, how are you? Are you okay? Where are you now?”

On the other end of the phone, Wen Shiyi listened to Zhou Yu’s anxious but worried voice. She couldn’t control her emotions anymore, and her voice was trembling.

“Zhou Yu! I want to see you! I want to see you right away!”

Zhou Yu heard her voice, which was still full of tears, and his heart trembled. He asked quickly.

“Okay, I’ll come right away. Where are you?”

“Zhonghai First People’s Hospital…”

Zhou Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Into the hospital?

But he was relieved, at least it wasn’t the worst result.

“I’ll be there right away.”

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 sent me a message. She’s fine. She’s in the hospital.”

“I got it too. I’m on my way there now.”

Yang Qian said, “Take good care of her.”

“Don’t worry. Just work. I’m here.”

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