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

On the stage, Zhou Yu held the guitar, gently plucked the strings with his fingers, and spoke slowly to the rhythm of the music.

"Wandering on the wind in the blue sky

A cloud fell in front of me

Knead it into your shape

Follow me with the wind

Eat the sorrow one bite at a time..."

Zhou Yu's singing sounded in everyone's ears, with a touch of cheerfulness and joy, coupled with the simple and brisk melody, giving people a refreshing feeling. It seems to take people back to that youthful and unforgettable time. At that age when love first emerged, the image of that person from before appeared in people's minds.

This song "Xingqing" was written by Zhou Yu before and submitted to other artists, but no surprise, they didn't like his song at all and it was rejected. This song is a single from Jay Chou's first album "Jay". It was released on November 7, 2000. In 2001, it won the 24th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Outstanding Mandarin Gold Award.

This album is Jay Chou's first album. Many classic songs, such as "Lovely Woman", "Tornado", "The Bell in the Opposite Direction", etc. are all from this album. Especially the song "Lovely Woman", everyone said that this "oh" opened a new era in the Chinese music scene, a new era unique to Jay Chou.

Many young people only see Jay Chou's current glory, but they don't know that before his debut, he also wrote many songs, but they were all rejected. Finally, I found Wu Zongxian and wanted to write a song by myself, but Wu Zongxian was perfunctory and said that he could only write fifty songs in ten days, so he chose ten songs to send to him. Then Jay Chou took it seriously. Shi Tiantian really completed this impossible task and met Bole Yang Junrong.

With the support of Yang Junrong, Jay Chou ushered in his first album. But at that time, the company didn't pay much attention to Jay Chou. Even the cover of Jay Chou's album was styled by himself.

Now when I see the cover of the album "Jay", the slightly green young man with permed curly hair is the high-spirited Jay back then.

As for the song "Xingqing", what impressed Zhou Yu the most was the scene in the movie "Charlotte" where Uncle Shen beat up a Taiwanese contestant named Zhou.

Various images flashed through his mind, but Zhou Yu remained calm, sitting on a high stool with his guitar in his arms, singing softly.

"Carrying you is like carrying sunshine

It's always sunny no matter where you go

Butterflies fly freely

The sky is filled with flowers

Each flower is fragrant because of you..."

Everyone at the scene gradually became quiet. Zhao Lei sat below and looked at Zhou Yu who was shining on the stage, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Yu is so powerful!"

Judging from Zhou Yu's current performance, he is not as nervous as himself, and he feels that his singing skills are the best among their students. And from Zhou Yu's singing and lyrics, he could also tell that although the lyrics of this song are very simple and straightforward, it gives people a very fresh feeling. Following Zhou Yu's singing, unknowingly, it seems that people are dreaming back to the age when love first emerged.

In the tutor's seat, Chen Mo looked at the lyrics written by Zhou Yu and listened to Zhou Yu's singing, feeling a little surprised in his heart. He raised his head and glanced at Brother Jun, both of whom could see the surprise in the other's eyes.

He whispered to Brother Jun: "I didn't expect him to be such a good young man."

From the current point of view, Zhou Yu's overall performance is the best student they have encountered so far.

Brother Jun also nodded: "With his singing skills, I thought he was a professional singer."

Brother Jun touched Zeng Huayu next to him: "Huayu, what do you think?"

Zeng Huayu glanced at Zhou Yu, then leaned close to Brother Jun and whispered in Brother Jun's ear: "That's it. The lyrics of the song are too simple, but for new students, it's okay."

Everyone laughed, and Yang Qian on the side also whispered to Wen Shiyi: "Shiyi, what do you think?"

Wen Shiyi looked at Zhou Yu on the stage. To be honest, she was more surprised than Teacher Chen Mo and the others. She originally thought that Zhou Yu was just a song and lyrics teacher who could compose music, but now, after hearing his singing, Wen Shiyi realized that not only was this man talented, but his singing skills were no worse than those of professional singers like them.

"very nice."

Wen Shiyi said these three simple words.

Li Xue, who was on the side, had always been at odds with Wen Shiyi. When she saw her praising Zhou Yu, Li Xue was about to rebel.

"I can only say it's okay, the lyrics are too simple."

The instructors' conversations here are very private, and the microphones are turned off. No one will know except themselves.

Sister Lin looked at Zhou Yu and frowned deeper when she heard his singing.

This student has some talent and strength. Is he really the one who wrote songs for Shiyi?

Xiaoqin took the water and handed it to Wang Lin flatteringly: "Here, sister Lin, drink some water."

Sister Lin glanced at this girl: "Pay attention to your image."

Xiaoqin chuckled, but still sat down and secretly recorded the video with her mobile phone.

Well, this little brother is quite photogenic. Wow, his hands are also very good-looking. The most important thing is that he sings well. I love him.

"Xiaoqin, have you met Teacher Zhou Yu who wrote songs for Shiyi?"

Sister Lin looked at this nymphomaniac girl and asked helplessly.

Xiaoqin shook her head, took two photos, and thought they were pretty good: "I've never seen her before, what's wrong, Sister Lin?"

"This person has the same name as Teacher Zhou Yu. I feel he might be Teacher Zhou Yu."

When Xiaoqin heard this, she was shocked, with doubt on her round face.

"Teacher Zhou Yu? It's impossible. How could he come to participate in such a talent show?"

Sister Lin thought so too, but she had to wait until the recording of the program was over and ask Wen Shiyi for a good question.

Zhou Yu's singing continued.

"Trying to make the sunset fly

Lead you and me around nature

Facing the wind

Start spending every day together

hand in hand

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky

Look at the stars, one, two, three and four connected in a line

back to back

Make a wish silently

Look at the stars in the distance

Can you hear me..."

The first half is already over, and the lyrics from the first half are repeated. Backstage, Director Jiang Dan was wearing a high-end black dress, looking at Zhou Yu's information in a daze.

"Keep the footage of Zhou Yu longer, he will probably become popular."

Judging from her years of experience in programming, a strong and talented amateur contestant like Zhou Yu will easily become popular after the program is broadcast. Keeping his scenes longer will naturally bring more popularity and topicality to the show.

"That's interesting. Are they really the same person?"

Director Jiang Dan looked at Zhou Yu in the monitor, and then at Wen Shiyi in the tutor's seat. Is this Zhou Yu really the Zhou Yu who wrote songs for Wen Shiyi? Is this the same person?

After the song ended, Zhou Yu slowly stood up and bowed to the music teachers the day after tomorrow and the instructors on site.

The scene was quiet for a moment at first. Then, Zhao Lei took the lead to stand up and applaud Zhou Yu. More and more people were led, and thunderous applause rang out at the scene.

"I'll go! It turns out this guy is hiding his secrets. Not to mention the songs, he's just so good at singing."

"Uh... It's over. Now it's really a slap in the face. Just now I thought he was just here to fill up the numbers."

"Don't judge people by their appearance. Although they are more handsome than you, they are more powerful. Don't talk nonsense next time."

"What the hell? If you say that he is strong, I admit it, but if you want to say that I am not as handsome as him, then I will definitely not admit it."

…

Several instructors also applauded Zhou Yu, and Chen Mo was the first to speak: "Zhou Yu, right? You are very good. I will remember you today."

He took Zhou Yu's lyrics: "I read this song you wrote. The lyrics and music are very simple, but they have a sense of purity..."

Teacher Chen Mo couldn't find the words to describe it, so he looked at Yang Qian and said anxiously: "Well, it's that... how should I put it, that sense of youth..."

Seeing Chen Mo looking at her as if asking for help, Yang Qian also picked up the microphone and said: "I know what Lao Chen means. Zhou Yu's song can instantly bring people back to the age when love first bloomed, that kind of description of young love. right."

Teacher Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Ah, yes, yes, that's it."

He said jokingly: "Teacher Yang Qian is better at describing things after reading."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to look back at the students and joked: "Don't imitate me, go back and study more."

Everyone was amused by him, and Yang Qian also took the opportunity to speak.

"I also think it's very good. Although the lyrics and music are simple, there is a touch of pure emotion in it. I like your song very much..."

The mature and beautiful actress stared at Zhou Yu with a sweet smile: "I hope I can hear more and better works from you in the future."

In the future?

Zhou Yu looked at the beautiful Yang Qian, whose mature and sexy style was much more attractive than those little girls.
