Zhou Yu, once an unknown, bottom-tier entertainer in his previous life, transmigrated to a parallel world. Tired of the grind of working nonstop as an entertainer, he dreamed of becoming a legendary songwriter, lying flat while making money, reaching the pinnacle of life, and becoming a titan of the entertainment industry.
So he picked up his pen and wrote classic songs like "Nunchucks," "The Clock Running Backward," and "Nocturne," then submitted them to entertainers. But they dismissed him as a newcomer and wouldn't touch his songs. Every new song was rejected. This was how his former boss at the company described his music:
"Xiao Zhou, your songs are too weird. You think all that 'hum ha hey' stuff can become a hit?"
"And this one, 'Tears Know.' How can tears know anything? No, no. Take it back and fix it."
What was going on? These were all classics! How could they reject them?
With no other way to make a living, Zhou Yu had to take matters into his own hands and bring his rejected new songs to a talent show.
Who would have thought that appearing on the show would make Zhou Yu a star? His song "Nunchucks" sparked a new wave of rap across the internet!
"Whoa! So this is how you can do rap!"
Then "Nocturne" made him a legend, carried him to the top, and won him the Chinese Golden Melody Award!
A year later, a reporter asked Zhou Yu, "Mr. Zhou, why did you decide to enter the entertainment industry?"
"Me? Back then, nobody wanted my songs, so I figured I'd sing them myself. Who knew I'd keep singing until I became a superstar?"
