My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The new year is coming, and the new year is coming.

Chapter 312 Record-breaking!

“Then welcome Yufei to join us!”

Liu Yufei signed a contract with Zhou Yu on the spot. From now on, she is an artist under Zhou Yu’s company.

Liu Yufei herself was also a little excited. She never thought that she, a newcomer who had not graduated yet and did not even have a representative work, would be appreciated by Zhou Yu, play the leading role in his TV series, and even be able to sign a contract with his company. She knew very well how rare this opportunity was. It was not only an opportunity that her classmates and friends around her could not get, but also an opportunity that the celebrities in the circle could not get.

“Then please take care of me, Mr. Zhou Yu and Sister Qian.”

Although Liu Yufei was very excited, she did not lose her composure and behaved very steadily. Even Yang Qian was more and more satisfied with this little girl.

“It’s okay, we will be a family in the future.”

Zhou Yu said, “During this period, you should familiarize yourself with the script. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me or your sister Qian.”

“As for the company, you can come and see it anytime you are free.”

Yang Qian said directly, “Don’t wait until later. There is nothing to do today anyway. You can take Yufei there to familiarize yourself.”

Zhou Yu actually had this plan, but he was worried that Liu Yufei would have classes at school later. So after seeing Yang Qian say it, he also looked at Liu Yufei and asked.

“Do you have anything to do later? If not, I’ll take you there today.”

Seeing this, Liu Yufei nodded and said, “No problem, I don’t have any classes today.”

“Okay, let’s go there.”

Zhou Yu drove Yang Qian and Liu Yufei directly to the company. The other artists in the company were not there. Zhao Lei, Wang Jiachao and Yang Zihan were all running announcements. After all, they had to make money. Now Zhou Yu’s company is getting bigger and bigger. From the first floor of an office building to the current five floors, he thinks that he can buy an office building directly in the future and is too lazy to rent one.

After taking Liu Yufei for a walk and briefly introducing her, Zhou Yu said, “I’ll have someone get you a company card. You can come anytime. The artist department will arrange an independent office for you. As for the agent…”

Speaking of agents, Zhou Yu also knew that Liu Yufei had always been a self-employed person. He said, “We will arrange agents and assistants for you when the time comes.”

Now Liu Yufei is really a newcomer in the company. She has played supporting roles in some film and television dramas before. She can only be called an 18th-tier star. It’s good that Zhou Yu can match her with an agent and an assistant before she becomes famous.

This is one of the reasons why Liu Yufei now feels that coming to Teacher Zhou Yu’s company is the right choice.

She also knows that in other companies, artists cannot have such treatment before they become popular or famous, let alone their own agents and assistants.

“Thank you, Mr. Zhou!”

“You’re welcome. This is the treatment our company provides to all artists.”

Zhou Yu pointed to the artist department and said, “Now in our company, besides you, there are Zhao Lei, Wang Jiachao, and Yang Zihan. But they are not here now. I will introduce you to them when I have the chance.”

Three of the artists signed by Zhou Yu’s company are singers, and Liu Yufei is the only one who acts.

“The focus of our company’s future development may be on film and television dramas, so you can’t delay your professional courses and polish your acting skills, especially this “Legend of Sword and Fairy”. I am very optimistic about you. Maybe when it is broadcast, you will become popular directly.”

Zhou Yu said half-jokingly.

In fact, he is very optimistic about the script of “Legend of Sword and Fairy”. If it really becomes popular, Liu Yufei, who plays the heroine Ling’er, will definitely become popular.

But he himself is also very optimistic about Liu Yufei. She was recommended to her by Director Chen before, which means that she must have a bright spot to make Director Chen remember her. The key is that Liu Yufei has good looks. If she is packaged and operated by a company, she will have a great chance of becoming popular.

However, if she wants to be popular for a long time, she will naturally rely on her works to speak for herself.

“Well! I will work hard!”

Liu Yufei also encouraged herself in her heart. She knew that this opportunity was hard-won and she must seize it.

…

In the past two days, Zhou Yu has been busy with “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”.

》 has been perfected. In fact, the script of the first part has been completed long ago, and what is being perfected now is the script of “Legend of Sword and Fairy III”, which is also the script of the second part he mentioned.

As for Yang Qian, she has been playing well with Liu Yufei during this period. For Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu’s “Legend of Sword and Fairy”, she turned down all the film contracts in the second half of the year. Recently, she has basically participated in some activities and appeared on some shows at home. Nothing, just go to the Central Academy of Drama to play with Liu Yufei.

Wen Shiyi is not here, and now there is finally a girl who can accompany her shopping, so naturally it is Liu Yufei’s turn.

As for Zhou Yu, Yang Qian also knew that he was busy and did not disturb him.

And in July, time passed in a flash, and the summer movies in August were also released one after another. And if you want to say which movie has attracted the most attention in July, no, even this summer vacation, it is naturally Zhou Yu’s “Charlotte’s Troubles”.

Throughout July, Zhou Yu’s film has attracted much attention. From being unpopular at the beginning to having a great reputation and even a box office comeback, it has attracted everyone’s attention.

On August 1st, the box office of this film has exceeded 1.7 billion, becoming the top-grossing film in the summer season.

“Charlotte’s Troubles has exceeded 1.7 billion box office!”

“Charlotte’s Troubles is expected to break the record!”

“A new glory for comedy films!”

…

Now everyone looks at Zhou Yu’s “Charlotte’s Troubles” with no more contempt than before, but with a bit more solemnity. Especially those people from Gu Tang Entertainment, as well as entertainment companies and artist directors who have movies released this summer, they felt a little uncomfortable throughout the holiday.

Especially seeing Zhou Yu’s movie with such a high box office, leading the box office of movies in the same period by a cliff, even the movies released in August can’t compare with it.

Originally, everyone was optimistic about the two movies “Legend of Immortals and Demons” and “Gunfire Charge”, but now the box office has not even exceeded 1 billion, let alone catching up with Zhou Yu’s “Charlotte’s Troubles”, which has been completely left behind.

Now the box office of this movie has exceeded 1.7 billion, and it only took one month, which made everyone sit still.

“This is really going to break 2 billion!”

Now although the daily box office growth rate of Zhou Yu’s movie has decreased, it is still quite high. Give this movie some more time, breaking 2 billion this month is definitely achievable.

“Zhou Yu, this guy, is really going to create a miracle!”

Even Director Chen was envious after seeing the performance of Zhou Yu’s movie. In one month, the box office of the movie has exceeded 1.7 billion. The key is that although the daily box office growth rate has decreased a bit, it does not affect Zhou Yu’s “Charlotte’s Troubles” to break 2 billion this month.

This is 2 billion. During the May Day holiday, his “Detective Chinatown” was almost achieved. Unfortunately, the movie has been offline for so long that it can no longer be delayed, and the daily box office growth is almost gone.

He regrets that it stopped at 1.8 billion, but now, Zhou Yu’s “Charlotte’s Troubles” is obviously sure to break through 2 billion box office. It is a foregone conclusion to create a new chapter in the history of Chinese-language films and create a new box office record. At most, it is just a matter of time.

It must be said that Director Chen is a little emotional. Zhou Yu is really talented.

When he was filming “Detective Chinatown” with him before, he felt that Zhou Yu was also very talented in directing. Later, when Zhou Yu said that he was going to make his first movie, which was still a comedy, although Director Chen was not very optimistic about the current environment at the time, he felt that Zhou Yu should not make a comedy. But seeing Zhou Yu’s persistence, he had an inexplicable confidence in Zhou Yu.

I always feel that things that others can’t do, when they come to Zhou Yu, they will definitely be possible. This guy always has such a unique charm, which can inexplicably give people a sense of security and confidence.

Now it seems that he was right at the beginning. This guy’s first movie was a big hit. Not to mention that he broke the 2 billion box office record later, Zhou Yu’s current box office performance can be ranked in the top three in the history of Chinese-language movie box office.

“This guy is already preparing to shoot a TV series. Hey, I guess the TV series will be a hit again by then.”

Director Chen knew that Zhou Yu was preparing for a TV series recently. Zhou Yu had discussed it with him, and he also recommended some good actors to Zhou Yu. And he knew that Zhou Yu was shooting a costume fairy drama this time. This kind of movie has a wide audience, but it is also very difficult to shoot.

Difficult.

If you don’t pay attention, it will become a bad movie. Nowadays, the fairy-tale dramas on the market are basically the same old puppet dramas, with the label of fairy-tale dramas and idol dramas. Not only are the plots terrible, but the actors’ acting is also embarrassing, and they can only use their faces.

“I hope this guy can make some different fairy-tale dramas.”

Director Chen is very confident in Zhou Yu now. This guy’s first movie was so successful. Director Chen thinks that Zhou Yu’s first TV series will definitely not be bad. With Zhou Yu’s ability to write those scripts, the quality is definitely guaranteed.

“I can invest in it. If it becomes a hit, I can make a fortune with this guy.”

Director Chen thought to himself that Zhou Yu’s project now seems to be a weather vane. As long as it is Zhou Yu’s project, it seems to be a hit. This time, Zhou Yu’s TV series, he thinks he can also try to invest in some.

Anyway, he is not short of money, so he wants to play with Zhou Yu. If he can make money, he will make money. If he can’t make money, he will just give Zhou Yu funding.

…

As for Zhou Yu, his first movie became a hit during this period, and it was an unprecedented hit. Along with it, there were many activities, but he basically turned them down, after all, he was busy with the TV series.

As for these activities, they were basically handed over to the leading actor Wang Teng and others to participate.

With the popularity of the movie, Wang Teng and others also became popular. During this period, they were like dreaming, from unknown comedians to stars with explosive traffic and topics this summer, and even their Weibo fans skyrocketed by millions.

From a small actor who had been unknown on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, to the leading actor of “Charlotte’s Troubles”, which is not a household name, but is also popular all over the country. Even stages and programs that have never been on before have been invited during this period.

In the past, they might not have any work to find them even if they stayed at home for half a year, but now they are busy in just over a month.

But this also makes them enjoy it, and they don’t feel tired. Compared to the frivolousness of not being able to find a job for half a year, they actually like the current busy state. During this period, they can be said to have experienced the feeling of being a big star.

In mid-August, Zhou Yu had just prepared the first part of “Legend of Sword and Fairy” and was about to start filming in a few days.

He was still looking at the cast list in the company, but Ning Wanqiu rushed in, and her plumpness from the comfortable shirt was also rising and falling.

“The box office broke the record!”

Ning Wanqiu spoke excitedly, and her pretty face was slightly flushed because she ran a little hurriedly to tell Zhou Yu the news. Her breathing was a little rapid, and the proud chest rose and fell slightly.

Zhou Yu looked up. Although he had expected it, his heartbeat was much faster after hearing the news.

“Break 2 billion?”

“Yeah!”

Ning Wanqiu nodded excitedly. She had just heard the news and rushed over immediately.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The box office of “Charlotte’s Troubles” has exceeded 2 billion. This is the first work in the history of Chinese-language movies to have exceeded 2 billion. They have created a new record!

“Sister Ning, no more words, everyone, let’s have a celebration party tonight!”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked Ning Wanqiu to book a hotel near the company and hold a celebration party directly.

Such an important thing, of course, must be celebrated.

2 billion, this is 2 billion, a new record in the history of Chinese-language movies, created by him, Zhou Yu!

Ning Wanqiu also nodded immediately, and she was very excited: “Okay, I will arrange it right away.”

Ning Wanqiu just went out, Zhou Yu’s mobile phone messages exploded, WeChat message notifications, and calls came in one by one, many of which were to congratulate him.

Zhou Yu also replied one by one, and chatted on the phone one after another.

And when Teacher Wang Teng and his friends called, as the leading actor, the celebration party tonight naturally cannot be without the crew.

Zhou Yu could also tell from Teacher Wang Teng’s tone that he was also very excited.

“Then Teacher Wang Teng, let’s meet tonight and have a drink.”

“Haha, okay, it’s just right that I have something to tell you tonight, Xiao Zhou.”
