Building an Entertainment Empire, Starting with a Talent Show

Lu Yu, a down-and-out musician of thirty-six, was hit and killed by a truck on his birthday. When he opened his eyes, he was back at a talent show in 2008.

In his previous life, he spent eighteen years writing songs, but not one became a hit. He ghostwrote for pop idols, and his royalties went unpaid for three years.

In this life, he has the next eighteen years of hit songs stored in his head.

The Ordinary Road? Pu Shu is still suing his record company.

Nocturne? Jay Chou hasn't written it yet.

Light Years Away? G.E.M. is still in middle school.

Any song he pulls out at random could send today's Chinese music scene crashing to the ground.
