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

Everyone was deeply touched when they listened to the song "The Ordinary Road" sung by Zhao Lei. The songs written by Zhou Yu seem to be like this, using the simplest and most plain lyrics to write the most touching songs.

Moreover, folk songs, songs written by Zhou Yu and sung by Zhao Lei, are particularly touching.

"When you still

Still fantasizing

your tomorrow

via via via

will she be okay

Still worse

For me

It’s another day…”

Listening to Zhao Lei's singing, the lyrics seem to strike everyone's heart. It was as if I was seeing young people struggling for their dreams, and it was as if I was seeing myself in the past. When you walk on a busy street, every person you pass may have the same story as you. But you are still lonely because you are so ordinary.

But young people are like this, willful and stubborn. When they are young, the bridges are strong, the roads are smooth, the love is passionate, and the hate is decisive. But the most despairing truth about life that I realized as a teenager is that "ordinaryness is the only answer."

The simple lyrics have made many people fall into deep thought.

What are we pursuing? I can be ordinary for a while, but I am not willing to be ordinary for a lifetime.

Many people have deep eyes, and the song "Ordinary Road" sung by Zhao Lei seems to make them think about their own lives.

On the stage, Zhao Lei's singing continued.

"I ruined everything I had

I just want to leave forever

I once fell into boundless darkness

Want to struggle and be unable to extricate myself

I used to be like you and him

Like the wild grass and wild flowers

desperate

longing for

I cry and laugh in an ordinary way..."

Zhao Lei's singing gradually came to an end, and the song ended. The shock that this song brought to everyone made everyone unable to calm down for a long time.

The songs written by Zhou Yu are just like this. The lyrics have profound meaning and make people think deeply. Unlike other songs, it is over after listening to it. Instead, it allows people to recall and think about what Zhou Yu wants to express in his song. And every time Zhou Yu's songs like this are always able to give everyone a lot of insights and help.

Many people tend to regard this song "The Ordinary Road" as the growth and concession of a young man. But judging from its profound connotation, it should be more inclined to lead to the profound meaning of inspiring young people to move forward. Even if we encounter many difficulties on the journey of life, we must keep moving forward!

Pu Shu's songs are like this, they can invisibly inspire many people to run forward. And he himself is one of the few people who has lived his own life. He was a boy in his own youth, sensitive, suspicious and cynical. He watched and recognized the world from the perspective of a bystander.

Anyone who listens to his songs knows that both the songs and their titles carry a sense of vicissitudes that does not belong to his age. Although the lyrics are very literary, Pu Shu can sing about the difficulty and sadness of life. This sense of realism is also the reason why everyone likes Pu Shu.

After Zhao Lei's performance ended, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then bursts of thunderous applause and cheers erupted.

"Zhao Lei! Zhao Lei!"

Today's Zhao Lei has fully proved himself on this stage. It can be said that Zhao Lei's popularity is not inferior to that of those first-line stars.

Zhou Yu felt that maybe Zhao Lei would be able to reach the top position in one fell swoop after participating in "Singer" this year without the need for next year.

Backstage, Director Hong Tao and the others were also quite emotional.

"The songs written by Zhou Yu are still so touching."

"And Zhao Lei, his singing is still so moving."

They have watched Zhao Lei's singing for several times. To be honest, this young man's performance is getting better and better, and it can be seen that Zhao Lei has been improving. This young man, who is a little younger than Zhou Yu, has shown super strength in Music Mountain. It is no wonder that Zhou Yu praises him highly.

Although Zhao Lei is not a creative singer, his singing ability is very strong. Just the fact that he can perform the songs written by Zhou Yu so well is enough to prove his ability. In the entire entertainment industry, not everyone is a singer-songwriter. There are very few such singers, and many of them are singing singers like Zhao Lei.

But for the role of director Hong Tao, Zhao Lei made the right move by following Zhou Yu. With a talented boss like Zhou Yu here, he can provide Zhao Lei with songs that suit him. This alone can surpass many people.

"I'm looking forward to the finals more and more."

This is now the eleventh episode, and the next twelve episodes will be the live broadcast of the finals. The competition in this period was so exciting. When it came to the finals, Director Hong Tao could not imagine how fierce it would be.

Although at present, it is a certainty that Zhou Yu will win this year's Singing King. But others did not give up because of this. They were already full of passion for the competition and wanted to prove themselves on the show.

The key is……

Director Hong Tao feels that Zhou Yu will definitely not ignore Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao in the next finals. Being able to get a good ranking in the finals will be very good for the artist's future development in the coming year.

Even if there were no guests who won the championship in the previous "Singer", the top-ranked singers relied on the show to take their careers to a higher level in the coming year.

Although Wang Jiachao is in good creative shape now, director Hong Tao feels that Zhou Yu will probably write a new song for Wang Jiachao in order for him to get a good ranking.

If this is the case, then the next issue will be exciting, as Zhou Yu will bring three new songs at once. Tsk tsk tsk, the next live broadcast of the finals is probably going to be a blast.

Now the program "Singer" has broken the variety show record set by Jiang Dan this summer and became the number one variety show in the country. They also predicted the results of the finals live broadcast before, and they estimated that they would be much higher than this summer's "Son of the Idol".

After all, Zhou Yu had already withdrawn from the competition during the "Son of Idol" finals. Without Zhou Yu, they would have broken the record. This time, "Singer" has Zhou Yu. With Zhou Yu's current influence and popularity, I'm afraid the live broadcast of the finals will be very popular.

In the lounge, Zhou Yu had slowly stood up and went to wait.

He was the last guest. Not only the audience, but also Teacher Fu Ming and others in the lounge were looking forward to Zhou Yu's performance in this episode.

"This kid, I don't know what kind of song we are going to bring in this issue."

Zhou Yu will bring surprises to everyone in every issue, and they are also looking forward to Zhou Yu's performance in this issue.

"Come on, come on! We're here at Zhou Yu. I'm really looking forward to his performance this time!"

"The last episode of "It Rained All Night" was really good, especially the fairy interlude, it was so good!"

"I hope Zhou Yu will sing another Chinese-style song in this issue. I really like listening to this kind of song now!"

…

Before, everyone was looking forward to Zhou Yu's rap songs, but after Zhou Yu brought a Chinese-style song "Raining All Night" in the last issue, everyone's curiosity about this type of song was aroused again.

Especially the fairy interlude of the song "It Rained All Night" has been going crazy on short video platforms recently.

Moreover, Zhou Yu is now the publicity ambassador of traditional Chinese medicine culture and the screenwriter of the "Chinese Poetry Conference", and is the target of CCTV's support. In addition, Zhou Yu has previously publicly called for boycotting the H-stream and promoting the Hua-liu. Everyone has already regarded him as the spokesperson for traditional culture and the Hua-liu.

Just waiting for Zhou Yu to come up with more songs like this to promote traditional Chinese culture and slap those guys who worship foreigners in the face.

On the stage, Zhou Yu slowly took the microphone and took the stage. The spotlight shone on his body, as if he had been plated with a layer of gold, and his posture was upright.

Zhou Yu slowly nodded towards the music teacher, indicating that he was ready and could start.

The music played slowly, and the song information Zhou Yu sang this time appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Song title: Fireworks get cold easily

Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

Everyone listened to the melody and looked at the name of the song, their pupils shrank, and then they were ecstatic.

"This... this is another Chinese-style song! Haha! Zhou Yu, you really understand us so well!"

"Fireworks get cold easily, tsk tsk tsk, it seems to be another sad Chinese style music."

"This melody is so beautiful. Sure enough, Zhou Yu's songs like this are really good!"

…

On the stage, Zhou Yu also sat in front of the guzheng and gently plucked the strings. The melodious and moving melody sounded in everyone's ears, making everyone feel happy. Ancient style songs like Zhou Yu's have always been loved by everyone. Not to mention the song "It Rains All Night" from the last issue, Zhou Yu's "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Orchid Pavilion Preface" have become popular all over the Internet, setting off a wave of national style craze.

This time Zhou Yu brought another ancient style song to watch. Everyone still trusted Zhou Yu's ability.

Teacher Fu Ming and others listened to the prelude of Zhou Yu's song, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Zhou Yu is very proficient in this type of songs, and it is also a manifestation of Chinese culture. Both the lyrics and the music are full of Chinese cultural charm. In a sense, Zhou Yu is really a representative figure of Hualiu now.

Moreover, this type of song is difficult. Teacher Fu Ming himself has also tried this type of song. But it’s too difficult. This kind of song has very high requirements for both lyrics and music. If there are a few mistakes or a lack of ability, the songs written will have a nondescript feel.

Zhou Yu gently plucked the strings. The prelude of the song was very gentle, and with the background of various classical instruments, the whole song had a touch of sadness. The current audience fell silent the moment the music started, quietly waiting for Zhou Yu to speak.

"The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door and shocked the world

The dream is cold and the love debts in my life are many.

If you default to life, death, etc.

Waiting for the growth rings one after another..."

Zhou Yu's singing voice came to everyone's ears with a hint of gentle sadness. The beautiful melody and lyrics seemed to show everyone a picture of a poignant and touching love story. The tone of the whole song is also quite sad. The use of classical instruments and guzheng makes the tone of the whole song even more poignant.

"How many layers of the pagoda are broken, whose soul is broken?"

The pain went straight to the mountain gate where a broken lamp collapsed

Let me wait for history to turn around

When the wine is fragrant, I’m waiting for you to play a piece of guzheng..."

The song Zhou Yu brought this time was also a song sung and composed by Jay Chou and written by Fang Wenshan. This song is also a representative work among Jay Chou's many Chinese-style songs, and it is also one of Zhou Yu's favorite ancient-style songs.

When Fang Wenshan wrote the lyrics for this song, he created it based on inspiration from a fictional story. ,

This story tells the story of the lonely Luoyang City that collapsed after a thousand years of prosperity as described in "Luoyang Jianan Ji" during the Northern Wei Dynasty. In this city of Luoyang, after a royal general met a woman by chance, they fell in love at first sight and made a private marriage. However, because they were in troubled times, the generals were recruited by the court to fight. In the years of war and chaos, the imperial capital Luoyang had been reduced to ruins.

In the end, the woman stayed with the general and became a nun. When the general returned from the storm and found the Jianan Temple where the woman became a monk, the woman had already passed away. The local people told the general that there was a woman waiting for him here, praying for him in the temple every day...

It was such a poignant love story that inspired Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan to create such a touching song.

When everyone listened to Zhou Yu's song, a poignant picture of love emerged in their minds, and they saw the heartache of the infatuated woman waiting for her lover to never return...

"The rain is falling and the vegetation is growing in my old hometown.

I heard you are always alone

The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots

What echoes on the stone slab is wait a little longer

The rain is falling and the vegetation is growing in my old hometown

I heard you are still guarding the lonely city

The sound of the pastoral flute on the outskirts of the city fell on that wild village

It’s us who are destined to take root…”

Zhou Yu's singing sounded in everyone's ears, as if he was telling everyone a sad and beautiful emotional story. The beautiful lyrics and touching melody make this song full of imagery, as if everyone has followed Zhou Yu's singing through time and space, spanning thousands of years, and witnessed the poignant love story with their own eyes.

In the lounge, Teacher Fu Ming and the others listened to Zhou Yu's song "Fireworks Easily Cold", with a flash of brilliance in their eyes. Zhou Yu's mastery of this type of ancient style songs is indeed superb, because his previous songs made this kind of niche songs popular. A lot of ancient-style songs have emerged on the market, but the quality is mostly unsatisfactory.

Teacher Fu Ming himself listened to many such songs, but after listening to them for a while, he really felt that no one could compete with Zhou Yu. Now Teacher Fu Ming finally understands why Zhou Yu was able to ask the two major associations of lyricists and composers to make exceptions for him.

Teacher Fu Ming himself admired his ability.

Director Hong Tao and the others were sitting backstage, listening to Zhou Yu's singing. This song "Fireworks Easily Cold" is also a song with a strong Chinese flavor. Director Hong Tao even feels that this song is no better than Zhou Yu's previous songs, such as "Preface to Orchid Pavilion" or "Blue and White Porcelain". Difference.

"This kid really brings surprises to people every issue."

Although they have watched Zhou Yu's performances for so many times, they are not at all tired of aesthetics. On the contrary, in every episode, not only the audience, but also director Hong Tao themselves are looking forward to Zhou Yu's performance.

And this song "Fireworks Easily Cold", both the lyrics and the music, have a strong flavor of ancient style and charm in it. The key is that Director Hong Tao and others feel that the kind of songs written by Zhou Yu are really like poems, full of artistic conception. It is this that is the most attractive part of ancient songs.

Why the songs written by others are not as good as those written by Zhou Yu? In addition to lack of talent, it is because the songs they wrote lack this sense of artistic conception. This is the most important thing about ancient songs, and what everyone likes the most. Listening to this kind of song is like reading a poem. People not only listen to it, but also experience the artistic conception of this kind of song. Only when the artistic conception is revealed can such songs become more immersive.

Even the audience at the scene was shocked in their hearts at this moment. Zhou Yu's ancient songs really made them fall in love with each one.

"Zhou Yu's song is so nice. I feel like only his songs sound the most emotional in this kind of ancient style songs."

"Yes, the song written by Zhou Yu is really like a poem, with a beautiful artistic conception."

"Zhou Yu's creative talent is truly unparalleled. Zhou Yu is simply a god in the Chinese music scene!"

"As expected, Hua Liu is the best!"

…

On the stage, Zhou Yu's singing continued.

"Listening to the laughter that welcomes youth makes many people envious

The annals of history are too gentle and unwilling to write.

Fireworks are easy to cool and people are easy to separate

And you're asking me if I'm still serious

After thousands of years of deep love, who else is waiting?

How could Qingshi not be true to Wei Shu's Luoyang City?

It's like you're dealing with a past life

Follow me throughout my life in the world of mortals..."

After that, the chorus part was repeated, and a desolate and sad love story from ancient times seemed to have appeared in the minds of everyone present. In that war-torn era, the male protagonist and the female protagonist fell in love, but had to separate. The man fights for the country, but the woman waits at the city gate for his return every day.

But day after day, year after year, spring passed and autumn came, and I don’t know how long I waited, but the woman never waited for the return of her beloved. Finally, he escaped into Buddhism and prayed for him every day...

But this true love did not wait for the final result and reward after all. From childhood to old age, a woman turns into a piece of loess and leaves with regret...

The picture was so real that everyone seemed to be immersed in the scene while listening to Zhou Yu's singing. Many of the more emotional viewers couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

On the stage, Zhou Yu's singing continued. He slowly stood up and picked up the microphone. The melody and rhythm suddenly sped up a lot, and everyone immediately realized something and stared closely at Zhou Yu's singing on the stage.

"The rain is falling and the vegetation is growing in my old hometown.

I heard you are always alone

The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots

What echoes on the stone slab is wait a little longer

It rains one after another. The vegetation is deep in my old hometown.

I heard that you are still guarding the lonely city..."

As soon as Zhou Yu's rap came out, the scene was filled with excitement.

"Holy crap! Rap! I finally heard Zhou Yu's rap again!"

"Wow, wow, indeed, Zhou Yu's rap is still so good!"

"Inserting rap clips into ancient-style songs without any sense of inconsistency is worthy of Zhou Yu!"

"Zhou Yu, you are my god! The eternal god of the Chinese music scene!"

"Come on, come on, Zhou Yu's rap teaching is here again. Those who rap, come and learn, this is called rap!"

…

Zhou Yu's rap has been recognized by everyone, and this is what Zhou Yu did when he first started singing songs that include rap in lyrical songs. The first thing everyone heard about Zhou Yu’s rap was from this type of song.

However, this is the first time that everyone has heard rap inserted into such ancient songs.

The key is that Zhou Yu's rap clips are also beautifully written and do not ruin the tone of the song. On the contrary, it plays a finishing touch, giving people a bright feeling.

"The sound of the herdsman's flute on the outskirts of the city fell in that wild village

Fate takes root and it’s us

Fate takes root and it’s us

Ganan Temple listens to the sound of rain and looks forward to eternity..."

After the song ended, Zhou Yu's singing seemed to still be echoing in everyone's ears, and everyone was still immersed in the story of the song and had not recovered. After a while, the whole place erupted into bursts of exclamations.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu!"

"Zhou Yu, you are my god!"

"Hua Liu is the best! Zhou Yu, we will always support you!"

…

After Zhou Yu finished his performance, Teacher Chen Mo also began to go on stage and go through the process. First, he teased Zhou Yu, and finally the teachers from the expert group evaluated Zhou Yu.

"Ah! I like Xiao Zhou's song very much. It's very nice. I think Xiao Zhou's is the best among these ancient songs."

The expert teacher who spoke first spoke highly of Zhou Yu, and he himself was a bit excited.

"This song is classically beautiful, with far-reaching artistic conception, strong classical meaning, beautiful melody, and a profound sense of history. When listening to it, a picture emerged in my mind, with towers of pagodas standing in the sky, flashes of swords, and shadows. , vicissitudes of life..."

"It can be said that Xiao Zhou used this song to present us a poignant and touching love story. I really like it and am very grateful to Xiao Zhou for his wonderful performance..."

The teachers in the subsequent expert group also highly praised and evaluated Zhou Yu. After it was over, Zhou Yu and Chen Mo went back to the lounge together to wait for Director Hong Tao to announce the final results.

Not long after they returned to the lounge, Director Hong Tao walked in within a few minutes, looked at Zhou Yu and the others, smiled and spoke.

"This is the last competition before the finals. One guest will be eliminated in this period. I hope everyone is prepared."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zihan was more or less nervous. Although she probably guessed her outcome, she was still quite nervous when she actually faced it.

"Then let's just announce it this issue and start from the beginning."

"First place..."
