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

Chapter 279 Belongs to Zhou Yu’s era!
The discussion about Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie's new song on the Internet was very heated, especially about the outcome of their second duel. Many people thought that Zhou Yu might win this time.

Because Zhou Yu's song "Old Boy" is so touching, many people can't calm down after listening to it. Zhou Yu's song "Old Boy" uses the simplest melody and lyrics to write a song that makes everyone cry.

Many people compared the two new songs by Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie. Although they both sound good, if everyone really had to choose their favorite and best song this time, it would definitely not be as difficult to choose as last time.

Last time, both of them sang love songs, and the quality of the songs was very high, which really made it difficult for everyone to choose. But this time it is different. Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie's new songs are of different types, although both are good. But compared to love songs, everyone thinks that Zhou Yu's realistic "Old Boy" is more touching.

This is not just the feeling of a few people, but the feeling of most people after listening to Zhou Yu's two songs. Even Zhang Junjie himself felt good after listening to Zhou Yu's song. He himself felt that his song was not as good as Zhou Yu's "Old Boy".

In a certain community, Zhang Liang, who came back from get off work in the evening, sat on the sofa and watched videos after dinner. After a day's work, this was the only time he could have some time for himself. He didn't want to do anything now, he just wanted to lie on the sofa and watch videos and play with his phone for a while.

He is just 30 years old this year. His career is pretty good. He started as a clerk who just graduated and now he is a deputy team leader. His salary is much higher than when he just graduated. But this job is really tiring. After get off work every day, he doesn't want to move at all. When he is a little better, he can cook for himself. When he is a little tired, he just orders takeout.

This job is not his favorite, but he has no choice but to stick with it for the sake of life. Besides, he is already 30 years old, not young anymore, and he dare not change jobs easily. So now, he doesn't care whether he likes it or not, as long as he can make money and live a good life, he will be satisfied.

"Huh? Is this Zhou Yu's new song?"

While browsing videos, Zhang Liang saw Zhou Yu's new song on the short video platform. He was busy with work all day and didn't read the news online at all. Now that he saw Zhou Yu's new song was online, he also exited and clicked on Penguin Music.

He himself is also a fan of Zhou Yu and likes Zhou Yu's songs very much, especially "Blue Lotus" and "You Once Were". He also longs for the freedom that Zhou Yu talked about, but for the sake of life, he can only give it up.

"old boys……"

Looking at Zhou Yu's new song, Zhang Liang was a little confused about the title. The title is so strange.

However, Zhou Yu already has so many high-quality songs as a guarantee of reputation and quality. Even if the song title is a little special, it will not prevent so many people from listening to it.

"It's even ranked ahead of Zhang Junjie's new song."

Looking at Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy", it is now ranked third on the new song list, while Zhang Junjie's new song released today is only ranked fourth. Zhou Yu's new song actually surpassed Zhang Junjie's, which is indeed a rare thing.

Now everyone knows that Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie are competing with each other. There was no winner in last week’s new song, but it seems that Zhou Yu will win this time.

This also shocked Zhang Liang. Zhou Yu suppressed Zhang Junjie. This meant he suppressed the god who had dominated the Chinese music scene for nearly twenty years!
"It seems that Zhou Yu is really going to ascend to the throne of God!"

Now it seems that Zhou Yu is definitely going to reach the top. Even Zhang Junjie, the veteran god, is going to be suppressed by him. It must be said that Zhou Yu's momentum is really strong.

The top two songs on the new song list are still Zhou Yu and his new songs from last week. Zhou Yu's new song ranked third and Zhang Junjie's fourth. However, judging by the popularity of Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy", it will soon be on the top.

"How good is this song that it can surpass Zhang Junjie."

With such curiosity, Zhang Liang clicked on Zhou Yu's song "Old Boy".

"That's the person I miss and love deeply day and night.

How should I express it?
will she accept me
Maybe I will never say that to her.

I'm destined to wander the world
How can I be concerned..."

Zhou Yu's singing voice rang out in the room. Zhang Liang looked at the lyrics, listened to the song, and gradually became attracted by the song.

“Youth is like a flowing river
I can't say goodbye if I don't come back
I am left numb and no longer have the passion I once had.
Look at the scattered flowers

wither at the most beautiful moment

Who will remember that she has been in this world..."

At the end of the song, when Zhang Liang finished listening to Zhou Yu's "Old Boy", he couldn't control his tears anymore. His eyes were red as he read the lyrics and the words of the song echoed in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down.

"So this is what the song title Old Boy means..."

So that’s how it is. So that’s how it is…

Zhang Liang finally understood why Zhou Yu's new song was called "Old Boy". Looking at the lyrics and listening to the singing, he seemed to have found his own shadow in the song.

Who hasn’t had a dream?

Who hasn’t been young and frivolous?
But the dream was forever submerged in these years and in this busy life...

The plain and simple lyrics seemed like sharp blades piercing Zhang Liang's heart and causing him to break down emotionally.

Have you realized your original wish? Are you still pursuing your original dream?

The answer is no.

For the sake of life, all these have been buried deep in my heart. Poetry and distant places seem to live forever in dreams...

Not only Zhang Liang, but many people today also had many feelings after listening to Zhou Yu's song "Old Boy". For a while, in the evening, when office workers went home, the popularity of Zhou Yu's song continued to soar.

Within two days, Zhou Yu's song "Old Boy" directly topped the new song list, and its popularity and singing rate on the Internet were even higher than Zhang Junjie's new song.

When everyone saw this result, their hearts trembled.

Zhou Yu...actually defeated Zhang Junjie!

Zhang Junjie actually lost to Zhou Yu! !
Zhou Yu has really ascended to the top of the Chinese music scene!!!

Although everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later, no one expected that Zhou Yu would beat Zhang Junjie so quickly. Last week, the two were still competing hard for their new songs, but just a week later, as soon as the second new song of the two was released, Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy" showed a strong attitude and topped the list in just two days!

This speed is indeed too fast.

Although many people were shocked, those who have heard Zhou Yu's "Old Boy" know that Zhou Yu's victory is justified. Although Zhang Junjie's new song is also very good, everyone thinks that Zhou Yu's realistic "Old Boy" is more touching.

On the Internet, the news that Zhou Yu defeated Zhang Junjie and topped the list directly set off the entire Internet.

"Zhou Yu's new song topped the charts!"

"Zhou Yu surpassed Zhang Junjie!"

"Zhou Yu beat Zhang Junjie!"

"Zhang Junjie's new song lost!"

……

Entries like this were frequently listed on the hot search list, and their popularity kept rising. Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie, if taken alone, were enough to dominate the hot search list, not to mention that this time it was about the result of the competition between the two, which directly dominated the hot search list of major social platforms.

Netizens are also having heated discussions about this matter.

"Hiss! Zhou Yu is too scary. He actually beat Zhang Junjie!"

"That's normal. With Zhou Yu's current momentum, it's only a matter of time before he defeats Zhang Junjie. But I didn't expect that he would win so quickly."

"In this second new song competition, I do think Zhou Yu's new song is better, and Zhang Junjie's love song is indeed slightly inferior."

"Uh... what's there to say? This is just winning one game. There's still one game left to play. How can that be called winning? We can only say that Zhou Yu is temporarily ahead."

"I also think that Zhou Yu's victory over Zhang Junjie this time is just a temporary lead. We can't jump to conclusions yet. They will have another match next week. Maybe Zhang Junjie will win then."

……

Zhou Yu's fans were naturally very happy that his new song surpassed Zhang Junjie's to top the list. However, Zhang Junjie's fans were not happy. Although Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie had a good relationship, this was a matter of their idol's victory or defeat and face, so they could not give in.

Many of Zhang Junjie's fans felt that Zhou Yu was only temporarily ahead this time, just like a competition, Zhou Yu only won this round temporarily. There is another round to come, and everyone felt that they couldn't just say that Zhou Yu was better than Zhang Junjie this time, they would have to wait until the end to find out.

Winning or losing a game really doesn’t mean anything.

For a while, fans of the two groups argued fiercely online.

But Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie, the two protagonists, were chatting happily in private. "Xiao Zhou, can you tell me about your new song next week?"

Although Zhang Junjie lost this time, he was in a good mood. He was even very happy that Zhou Yu had defeated him. At least Zhou Yu had defeated him. He saw Zhou Yu's strength and talent, and also saw hope for the future of Chinese music in Zhou Yu.

He is old, and the music industry will eventually be handed over to the young people.

But he looked down upon other people at all. He felt that only Zhou Yu, and only Zhou Yu, was capable of leading the Chinese music scene to the world!
Zhou Yu's "Detective Chinatown" will be wrapped tomorrow. Today's plot has been almost finished. After finishing tomorrow, he will have a wrap-up banquet in the evening and return home the day after tomorrow.

At this moment, he is chatting with Zhang Junjie, the king of pop. Even though their fans have been arguing fiercely online, it does not prevent them from having a friendly chat here.

"Well, let's keep it a secret for now, so that there will be more surprises later."

Zhou Yu sent a grinning emoji. This new song should have this kind of anticipation. If the new song is exposed in advance, what kind of anticipation will there be?
Zhang Junjie looked at Zhou Yu's message and smiled helplessly: "You kid, you are playing this trick on me again, right?"

However, he did not ask further. It was just as Zhou Yu said, for new songs, one should always maintain a sense of anticipation. Knowing the type of song will be the biggest surprise when the new song is released.

The two chatted, and Zhang Junjie didn't care at all about Zhou Yu surpassing him this time. While chatting with Zhou Yu, he kept praising Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu himself was actually quite emotional, he could feel the appreciation and care of teacher Zhang Junjie for him. In fact, during the communication during this period, he knew that teacher Zhang Junjie was very pure in music, and even had a strong sense of responsibility for Chinese music.

This alone made Zhou Yu admire him very much.

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, you are about to finish filming and return home, right?"

"Well, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Then you must get together when the time comes. We have been chatting online for such a long time. I will treat you when you come back and we can have a good chat."

Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie, from the time they met, Zhou Yu was very busy, so he and Zhang Junjie chatted online, in today's terms, they were netizens. This time when he went back, he could indeed have a good reunion.

Although Zhou Yu went back during the filming, it was only for the second rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. He had no time at all. He went back on the first night, rehearsed on the second day, and flew back that night to catch up with the filming schedule. Not to mention meeting up with Zhang Junjie, he didn't even have time to rehearse with Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi for the Spring Festival Gala.

"Okay, Brother Jie is treating me, so I won't be polite, haha."

At this moment, Penguin Music was so happy that it couldn't stop smiling.

The person in charge couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he saw the popularity of Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy" on the Internet and its ranking on the new song chart.

"Haha, I made a fortune this time!"

Zhou Yu beat Zhang Junjie. Even if winning doesn't mean anything, as people say online, it doesn't matter. The significance of Zhou Yu's victory over Zhang Junjie is very significant. This is a major event in the history of Chinese music, and it can even be said to be a milestone of great historical significance.

Zhang Junjie, who has dominated the Chinese music scene for nearly 20 years, has never lost in many years. But today, he lost to a newcomer like Zhou Yu, which is really meaningful.

It seems like the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era.

In the past 20 years, the entire Chinese music scene can be said to be the era of Zhang Junjie. But now, Zhou Yu has won this round against Zhang Junjie, even if it is just one round, telling everyone that he can beat Zhang Junjie!

He, Zhou Yu, has reached the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene!
In fact, everyone knows that Zhou Yu’s victory over Zhang Junjie this time is actually a signal.

In the future, the Chinese music scene may usher in an era belonging to Zhou Yu!
As for Penguin Music, they had already placed their bets on Zhou Yu and signed an exclusive music cooperation agreement with him. The key point is that the cooperation between Penguin and Zhou Yu is getting deeper and deeper. For them, just for Penguin Music, it is really a big profit!

The head of Penguin Music was sitting in his office, feeling so good, humming Zhou Yu's new song, and felt that he could keep his position with Zhou Yu. He felt that when he made the decision to sign an exclusive music cooperation agreement with Zhou Yu, it was absolutely right!

When some people are happy, naturally some people are sad.

Mr. Jiang from Tao Factory saw that Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy" performed so well, and in just two days, he surpassed Zhang Junjie. This was completely beyond his expectations. He also went to listen to Zhou Yu's new song. If we put aside the position and interests, this is indeed a good song. But he thought Zhang Junjie was not bad, and thought he could still fight back and forth with Zhou Yu. In the end, Zhang Junjie lost this game directly.

Zhou Yu beat Zhang Junjie, and everyone is very clear about what this means. Although many Zhang Junjie fans are saying online that it is not a loss yet, Zhou Yu is just temporarily ahead, and there will be another showdown next week.

But losing a game already explains a lot of problems. Even if it is just a temporary lead, it means that Zhou Yu now has the ability to suppress Zhang Junjie.

President Jiang was a little angry. Zhou Yu was now working with Penguin, his old rival. This made President Jiang very angry. Zhou Yu was supposed to be with Tao Factory, but because of the shitty things his subordinates did, Zhou Yu was pushed directly to the opposite side of them.

If Zhou Yu doesn't develop well after being pushed forward, that's fine.

But what made Mr. Jiang angry was that Zhou Yu was still doing so well after leaving Tao Factory. The key point was that he cooperated with their arch-enemy Penguin, which also made Penguin earn a lot of money.

Anime, music...

All the benefits brought by Zhou Yu were eaten up by the penguins.

"Depend on!"

Even with Mr. Jiang's character, he couldn't help but swear when he thought of these things.

It's not just Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang from Starlight Entertainment, but also Liu Zifan and Zeng Huayu.

Seeing Zhou Yu beat Zhang Junjie, everyone felt more uncomfortable than eating a fly. If the result of the competition between Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie last week was a tie, they could still accept it, after all, Zhou Yu was not that powerful, and there were still people who could suppress him.

But this week, Zhou Yu actually beat Zhang Junjie. He is the number one in the Chinese music scene, and he has never lost in all these years. But today he lost, and he lost to Zhou Yu. This is really infuriating!
Zeng Huayu was especially mocked by the entire Internet after he was eliminated from the "Singer" competition. He lost several endorsements. Even some of the activities he had agreed on were cancelled, and his company also asked him to avoid showing up as much as possible.

He stayed at home for several months and was originally planning to make a comeback this year. Seeing that Zhou Yu was going to release a new song this month to compete with Zhang Junjie, Zeng Huayu suddenly felt that the time had come for him to watch the good show.

He felt that Zhou Yu was really too proud and wanted to fight Zhang Junjie head-on. It was just a foolish dream to want to compete with Zhang Junjie. Singers in the entire Huayu music scene knew how terrifying Zhang Junjie was. Even if Zhou Yu was powerful now, he still lacked some foundation.

But when he saw the result of the competition between Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie's first new song last week, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie had a close match last week, which made Zeng Huayu feel relieved and nervous. Fortunately, Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie played very closely and no one won, which made him feel relieved.

But now, this week, Zhou Yu actually surpassed Zhang Junjie and defeated Zhang Junjie. This was a result that Zeng Huayu could not accept.

"Why! Why does this guy get all the benefits? What kind of monster is he?"

Zeng Huayu was a little confused. He looked at the news about Zhou Yu on the Internet at home, gritted his teeth, turned off his cell phone and threw it aside.

Looking back at Zhou Yu's experience, he showed the tip of the iceberg of his talent and strength when he was on "Idol Son". Relying on the popularity and fans he accumulated on the show, he withdrew from the competition after facing the scandal, and then released an album and made a strong debut, sweeping the entire Chinese music scene!
This guy, the whole experience was like cheating!
Zeng Huayu couldn't understand it. He had worked so hard, but in the end he was no match for Zhou Yu and was scolded by so many people.

"Zhou Yu!"

At this moment, he could only feel helpless and furious. Looking at Zhou Yu's current achievements, he felt jealous and envious at the same time.

……

The next day, after Zhou Yu finished shooting the last set of shots, the film "Detective Chinatown" was officially completed amid the cheers of the entire crew!

In the evening, the entire crew gathered together for a wrap-up banquet and chatted lively.

"Oh, we're finally done filming. I can go back and have a good rest for a while."

Teacher Hu Wei and his colleagues also felt tired. They had been filming abroad for such a long time, and except for going back to participate in the rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, they basically spent all their time on the crew.

"It's time to have a good rest."

Zhou Yu also felt that he should take a good rest for a while after returning.

Things before the New Year have basically been completed, and there are also some relatively relaxing activities, so there is nothing much to do when I go back.

"If the movie is going to be released, we will go back and finish the post-production first, then submit it for review and try to release it on May 1 this year. If that doesn't work, we will compete for the summer season."

Director Chen told everyone about his plans. He hopes that the movie will be released as soon as possible because he is very optimistic about the script after Zhou Yu's adaptation and thinks it has the potential to be a big hit.

After the wrap-up banquet, on the way back, Ning Wanqiu told Zhou Yu something.

"Yang Zihan has finalized her contract with her original company. Our contract is ready. We can just sign it after her contract expires this month."
