My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The first time I saw him was when he was about to leave.

Chapter 92 The Last Performance (Subscribe)

Director Hu of Taochang also received the news that Zhou Yu had not signed a contract. He had not signed with either Star Entertainment or Huatian Entertainment, and even other companies. Today, he is still an amateur student.

Looking at the message on his phone, Director Hu couldn’t help laughing.

“It’s really strange. An amateur student has not signed with any company. He has suffered so much but still didn’t compromise.”

This is the first time Director Hu has seen such a stubborn amateur student. He was originally prepared to give the resources to Zhou Yu. As a result, Star and Huatian have been busy for so long, suppressing Zhou Yu twice, each time more severely than the last, but they didn’t force Zhou Yu to surrender. This situation is really rare. If it were an ordinary amateur student, he would have made a choice when Xingguang Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment came to him for the first time.

“Now it seems that this resource package has to be given to Li Xingyu of Xingguang.”

Zhou Yu did not sign and did not become his own person. This resource package would definitely not be his, and even the championship could not be his. Among the many students, Li Xingyu is the first one besides Zhou Yu. The final championship is estimated to be Li Xingyu. This time, Xingguang Entertainment will suppress Huatian Entertainment.

“But Zhou Yu cannot be eliminated now. He is very popular now. If he is eliminated now, the popularity and traffic of the program will definitely decline, and it may cause some adverse effects. He has to stay until the finals.”

Director Hu did not want Zhou Yu to be eliminated now, so he quickly picked up his phone and sent a message to Xingguang and Huatian. Keeping Zhou Yu will only benefit the program, not harm it. In the finals, they can easily control him. It is obviously impossible for an amateur student to win the championship and debut.

Now, let Zhou Yu exert his last remaining heat, and use his high popularity and attention to maintain the traffic and popularity of the program until the end.

At that time, they can just give him a third place or something like that, which will make them look generous, and the previous rumors and slanders on the Internet will also be quiet for a while.

…

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the tenth assessment of “Idol Son”.

Zhou Yu and his friends sat in the students’ seats, looking at the students who performed on stage according to the ranking of the last performance, his face was calm.

Li Xingyu and Lin Hao were in a very relaxed and happy mood recently. Zhou Yu did not sign with their company, so there was no threat to them. Especially Li Xingyu, who was worried that Zhou Yu would threaten his championship. Now, he is just an amateur, and even if he stays until the finals, it is impossible to give him the championship position.

Wen Shiyi sat in the mentor seat, turned her head slightly, and pretended to glance at the students again, but her eyes stayed on Zhou Yu for a while.

Seeing Zhou Yu still sitting there very calmly, Wen Shiyi’s worries suddenly decreased a little. These days, she was worried about Zhou Yu’s situation, afraid that he would be affected by the recent situation.

Now it seems that there is no impact on him.

But…

Zhou Yu has not signed any company, and I don’t know how he will be targeted in the future.

If he wants to win the championship and debut…

Wen Shiyi pursed her red lips, thinking about Zhou Yu’s help before, which allowed her to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly in adversity, and clenched her pink fists.

If he wants to win the championship and debut, then even if she disdains to offend Tao Factory and the two major companies, she will help him, at least she can’t let those people bully him like this!

Anyway, they have been enemies with Xingguang Entertainment for a long time, and they don’t mind having two more enemies.

Moreover, she is not an outdated artist who didn’t come back during that period.

Yang Qian also glanced at Zhou Yu at this time, and whispered to Wen Shiyi with her mouth covered: “I heard that Zhou Yu still hasn’t signed, and the road ahead is probably not easy. After this recording is over, I will talk to him and try to get him to my company.”

Yang Qian had told Wen Shiyi about this matter before, but she felt that Zhou Yu would not agree.

Otherwise, he would have agreed to her invitation long ago.

As time went by, the students’ performances were almost over, and finally it was Zhou Yu’s turn to go on stage.

He ranked second last time, and this time he was the second to last.

Seeing Zhou Yu stand up and slowly go on stage, Zhao Lei cheered for him, Wen Shiyi, Yang Qian and Teacher Chen Mo all looked at him expectantly, waiting for his performance

.

Zeng Huayu and Li Xue looked at each other, both of them with a glimmer of disdain in their eyes. Zhou Yu did not choose any company to sign a contract, and he is still an amateur now, and it is impossible for him to win the championship and debut in the future.

However, the higher-ups have said hello, Zhou Yu cannot be eliminated now, and he must stay until the finals. But in the eyes of Zeng Huayu and Li Xue, Zhou Yu is no different from those eliminated students.

Li Xingyu and Lin Hao also don’t care about Zhou Yu at all. Before, they might have worried that Zhou Yu performed well and threatened them. Now, no matter how well he performs, he can’t pose any threat to them.

Director Jiang Dan looked at Zhou Yu standing on the stage, hugging her jade arms and looking at him with interest.

She also wanted to see what kind of songs Zhou Yu would bring in this last performance, and what he would say.

Zhou Yu stood on the stage, still as calm as usual, and a little excited. After this time, I can pursue the free life I want.

He took the microphone and didn’t rush to start the performance. Instead, he slowly said, “Before today’s performance, I want to say a few words.”

Hearing this, Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian became interested all of a sudden, especially Wen Shiyi, who always felt that Zhou Yu was a little different today. It seemed that he was looking forward to something, as if he couldn’t wait.

Li Xingyu and Lin Hao looked at Zhou Yu’s mysterious look and smiled disdainfully. Was he going to say something nice?

Everyone looked at Zhou Yu, waiting for him to speak.

“Well, this song represents my mood. The various things I encountered recently are also expressed in this song…”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Wen Shiyi and the others seemed to understand something. What happened recently, was Zhou Yu going to respond to the recent suppression with a song?

Or was he referring to something else?

Li Xingyu and Lin Hao looked at each other, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, “Forget it, let’s talk after everyone finishes listening.”

He made an “OK” gesture to the music teacher, and the music slowly started. On the big screen, the information of the song Zhou Yu was singing this time appeared. In the hands of Teacher Chen Mo and others, the staff also handed them the information sheet of the song Zhou Yu was singing.

“Song name: Blue Lotus

Singer: Zhou Yu

Lyrics: Zhou Yu

Composition: Zhou Yu…”

Wen Shiyi and the others looked at the information of Zhou Yu’s new song, especially the first line of lyrics, which made Wen Shiyi look up at Zhou Yu on the stage.

The music gradually started. This time there was no super long prelude like Zhou Yu last time. He just opened his mouth slowly.

“Nothing can stop

Your yearning for freedom

A wild and unrestrained life

Your heart is free of worries…”

Zhou Yu’s low and slightly hoarse voice sounded in everyone’s ears, as good as always, and in an instant, it caught the ears of the audience.

Chen Mo and Yang Qian looked at each other and smiled, “This time the style is the same as last time.”

This song “Blue Lotus” is the same as “You Once” last time, with a rock and folk style. They think Zhou Yu’s lyrics and music are very good, and with his singing, every song is worth savoring.

Wen Shiyi looked at the first half of the lyrics, her eyes flickered.

The last song “You Once” and this time “Blue Lotus” both start with a yearning for freedom. She thought of the reason why Zhou Yu didn’t sign with any company, maybe this is it.

Freedom is what he desires and what he doesn’t want to lose.

Just like many artists in the entertainment industry, like her, she doesn’t want to sign with a company, be her own boss, how free and convenient it is.

Once you sign with a company, although you can get good resources, what you lose is not just freedom.

Unless you are a big shot like those superstars, you can be strong enough to negotiate with the company.

On the stage, Zhou Yu’s singing continues.

“Going through the dark years

I also felt lost

When you lower your head

I realized the road under your feet…”

The song Zhou Yu chose this time was still Xu Wei’s song, which is also one of his representative works “Blue Lotus”. This song not only expresses the yearning for freedom, but also contains the Buddhist principles. Even if you experience hardships, you must keep hope in your heart, and there will be a day when the clouds will break through.

What Zhou Yu wants is freedom. He wants to express his inner thoughts through these two recent songs, and he also hopes that his songs can bring hope to more people.

Xu Wei’s “Blue Lotus” has cured countless patients with depression, but few people know that the original Blue Lotus was Xu Wei’s

Xu Wei wrote a song for Xuanzang. Before that, due to a serious bottleneck in his creation, Xu Wei, who suffered from severe depression, climbed onto the balcony and prepared to jump to kill himself. After being rescued, Xu Wei was completely desperate and had no passion for creation.

Until one day, his father warned Xu Wei that if he wanted to reach the pinnacle of art, he could not do without a profound cultural heritage. A restless heart in the world would find it difficult to create excellent and moving works. Xu Wei, who was confused, suddenly became clear.

After that, Xu Wei was inspired and created the classic song “Blue Lotus”.

He himself yearns for freedom, and is now suppressed by capital, but he will not be defeated. Even if it is difficult, he will rise up to resist. He just wants to tell those people that he will never bow his head!

There will be difficulties, but one day, he will see the light!
