My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The old man was very happy.

Chapter 23 I want to hold your hand like this and never let go

When everyone saw Zhou Yu’s information, the audience was also stunned when they saw this name. Many people looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts.

“Zhou Yu? Why does this name sound so familiar?”

“I remember that this seems to be the teacher who wrote the period for goddess Shiyi before.”

“Is this the same person? Or is it the same name and surname?”

“It should be just the same name and surname. How could a teacher who can write songs with Wen Shiyi come to participate in a talent show? And this is too young.”

…

Wen Shiyi’s comeback song “Period” is so popular that everyone on the Internet was discussing who Zhou Yu, who wrote songs for Wen Shiyi, was. So when the audience saw this name, they immediately thought of the teacher Zhou Yu who wrote songs for Wen Shiyi. Many people said before that he was a vest of a big boss in the circle, and a few people said he was a newcomer. But when everyone saw Zhou Yu on the stage, although they associated the two together, they believed that they were just two people with the same name and surname.

After all, if Zhou Yu was really the teacher who wrote songs for Wen Shiyi, no matter if he was a vest of a big boss in the circle or something else, he would not come to participate in this kind of talent show.

Li Xue looked at Zhou Yu on the stage with a sneer on her lips. She also thought that they were just two people with the same name and surname.

Wen Shiyi, on the other hand, stared at Zhou Yu on the stage, and was looking forward to his performance this time.

Yang Qian’s beautiful eyes were also shining. She looked at Zhou Yu and glanced at Wen Shiyi again. The movie queen whispered softly in Wen Shiyi’s ear, “Shiyi, is he the teacher who wrote the song for you?”

Since the first episode when she saw Zhou Yu, Yang Qian has always had this doubt in her heart, is it the same person? Is it really just the same name?

The key is that Wen Shiyi seems to be getting closer to Zhou Yu these days. Every time she teaches, Wen Shiyi chooses Zhou Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Is she very optimistic about him, or do they really know each other?

Yang Qian’s breath hit Wen Shiyi’s crystal earlobe, itching, she turned her head slightly and looked at Yang Qian’s beautiful face. The two beauties looked at each other, Yang Qian stared at Wen Shiyi with a smile on her lips, and one hand under the table was still on Wen Shiyi’s beautiful legs, patting them gently, feeling the wonderful touch.

Wen Shiyi took her hand away silently, and just asked back: “What do you think, Sister Qian?”

The relationship between these two beauties is very good. Yang Qian looked at Wen Shiyi’s crystal earlobe in front of her and spoke again: “I think…”

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, she exhaled a little hot air and hit Wen Shiyi’s neck: “It shouldn’t be.”

A gleam of light flashed in Wen Shiyi’s eyes, but she quickly covered it up. She turned her head and looked at Yang Qian, and saw her saying: “If it was really the teacher who wrote the song for you, why would he come to participate in the show.”

She looked at Wen Shiyi with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: “But I’m curious, Shiyi, why do you care about him so much? Admire him?”

Wen Shiyi looked at Zhou Yu playing the guitar on the stage, mature and steady, not like the first time to participate in the competition and go on stage to face so many audiences. When she thought of Zhou Yu’s refusal to join her company, she also had a desire to win.

“I guess so. You know my new company has just been established. He has good abilities. I want to train some new people.”

Hearing this, Yang Qian nodded in agreement: “Indeed, his basic skills are very solid, his appearance is also good, and the key is that he can create. Although I don’t know if he can win the championship in the end, he has accumulated some popularity in the program group. It should be no problem for you to sign him later to guide him.”

Wen Shiyi smiled and said nothing more. She turned over the new song materials brought by Zhou Yu this time and looked at the lyrics.

On the stage, Zhou Yu played the guitar very comfortably, beat the beat with a light melody, and slowly spoke.

“I can’t say why I became very proactive

If you fall in love with someone, everything will be worth doing

I want to loudly declare that I can’t bear to leave you

Even the neighbors next door guessed how I feel now…”

Zhou Yu’s singing sounded in everyone’s ears. The cheerful rhythm and the solid singing skills that were completely different from the previous contestants seemed to make people feel that they were not watching a student’s performance, but a professional singer’s performance.

“Well? He has a good foundation.”

“I also think that his singing skills are very professional. As soon as he opened his mouth, he opened the gap with the previous students.”

“He is actually an amateur contestant. With such professional singing skills, I thought he was a high-quality trainee from a big company.”

“Oh my god! He is really an amateur. His singing skills are amazing. Even I, a non-professional, can hear that he sings much better than the previous students.”

“The most important thing is that this is an original song. I think his song is quite cheerful, like a sweet song.”

…

When everyone heard Zhou Yu’s singing, compared with the previous students, the difference immediately came out. Many of the students who appeared earlier could be clearly heard that they were newcomers and students were singing. Even Li Xingyu and the others had some flaws in their singing skills. But when Zhou Yu opened his mouth, he was completely like a professional singer.

Moreover, the audience listened to Zhou Yu’s original song. Although the melody and rhythm were simple, it gave people a very cheerful feeling.

Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian thought it was pretty good. It was similar to the style of “Starry Sky” brought by Zhou Yu in the first episode, a fresh and simple sweet song.

Zeng Huayu frowned slightly when he saw the lyrics.

“The wind by the river is blowing my hair

I feel inexplicably moved holding your hand

I want to take you back to my grandma’s house

Watch the sunset together until we fall asleep…”

The song “Simple Love” brought by Zhou Yu this time was sung and composed by Jay Chou, written by Vivian Hsu, and arranged by Michael Lin. It is included in Jay Chou’s album “Fantasy” released on September 14, 2001.

This song can be said to be one of Jay Chou’s representative works and also his early works. With its simple melody, straightforward lyrics, and Jay Chou’s unique voice, it has won the love of many fans. He does not have complex arrangements and luxurious soundtracks, but with his unique charm, it has become a classic in the hearts of countless people.

“I want to hold your hand like this and never let go

Can love be pure and without sadness forever

I want to take you for a bike ride

I want to watch baseball with you

I want to be free of worries like this

Just keep walking while singing…”

Everyone listened to Zhou Yu’s singing and looked at the lyrics displayed on the big screen, as if they saw a pair of boys and girls, that pure love. Unconsciously, it reminded people of the person they liked during their youth. Listening to the lyrics, it seemed like what they had thought back then, just holding the person they liked, listening to songs together, and walking aimlessly on the street. To like someone is to want to take him/her home, meet your family, and be with him/her every moment…

The scenes described in the lyrics seemed to appear in front of everyone at this moment along with Zhou Yu’s singing. Everyone seemed to see their former selves, the person they liked in their youth. They also fantasized about being with their beloved…

Lin Jie and Xiao Qin were also stunned when they saw Zhou Yu on the stage. After knowing Zhou Yu’s identity and seeing his performance now, they were more and more surprised.

This teacher Zhou Yu is really talented.

Director Jiang Dan in the backstage was also listening to Zhou Yu’s singing quietly at this moment. She was not a young girl anymore. She was already accustomed to love. However, when she heard Zhou Yu’s song “Simple Love”, although the lyrics were not gorgeous and the melody was very simple, it made people feel inexplicably emotional. It felt like seeing their youth.

At that time, love seemed so simple and pure in her eyes…

Not only Director Jiang Dan, but also the staff around were stunned when listening to Zhou Yu’s song.

In the lounge, Li Xingyu and Lin Hao were listening to Zhou Yu’s song. Although they were surprised by Zhou Yu’s solid singing skills, the simple melody and straightforward lyrics made them sneer.

“That’s it? It would be strange if he could get a high score in the end.”

Teacher Zeng Huayu and Teacher Li Xue had said before that Zhou Yu’s lyrics and music were too simple, and asked him to work harder on them. As a result, there was no change this time, and the lyrics and music were still the same.

What do you mean by wanting to hold hands and not let go? It’s too straightforward and too rustic. Can you write love songs with some poetic sentiments?

It would be strange if this could move the audience.

No, it would be very rare if it could move the audience.
