My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The first time I saw a young man was when he was about to leave.

Chapter 284 Father!

Director Li and the others were also somewhat emotional. As soon as Zhou Yu came on stage, the number of viewers of the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast skyrocketed. And this time it was not a national live broadcast, but a global live broadcast!

The number of viewers has skyrocketed so much now, which also shows that not only domestic viewers are watching the show, but also many foreign viewers are watching.

Although Zhou Yu’s international influence is not great now, it is only in Dongfangzhou that his influence is greater. But being able to attract so many people to watch the show is enough to show that Zhou Yu’s performance just now has attracted many fans.

Director Li knows very well that every year the Spring Festival Gala basically makes some celebrity artists popular. Let them enjoy a certain reputation in China and even internationally.

This time the station let Zhou Yu perform alone, which also has its own considerations. The purpose is to promote Zhou Yu as a business card of China and Chinese music to the world. International competition of funds is a competition in all aspects, and cultural competition is particularly important.

For example, in H country, their H-stream culture has a great influence all over the world, especially in the Eastern State, and even in China. Although the authorities have taken some measures to restrict H-stream, it still takes a lot of effort to promote their own culture.

The appearance of Zhou Yu gave the authorities an opportunity.

Zhou Yu has a clean background and a good image, and the key is that this child is also patriotic. At the beginning, he was able to publicly call for a boycott of H-stream and the promotion of Chinese-stream on the show, which made many people admire this bold young man. The key is that this young man is so talented that it is difficult not to let the authorities pay attention to him.

Director Li is also very optimistic about Zhou Yu. This kid is really not an ordinary person. Director Li feels that the achievements Zhou Yu has made now are not enough compared to Zhou Yu’s future. After all, Zhou Yu is still young, and he has reached this position less than a year after his debut. If he is given a few more years, it is simply unimaginable.

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yu has changed back into a red dress and stood on the stage with a microphone. The music of the second song slowly sounded, once again attracting the attention of everyone on the scene.

A gentle and sad prelude sounded in everyone’s ears, and Lin Jiajia couldn’t help but put down the melon seeds in her hand.

“Song name: Father

Singer: Zhou Yu

Lyrics: Zhou Yu

Composition: Zhou Yu…”

Looking at the song information of Zhou Yu’s second song displayed, Lin Jiajia and the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast were also shocked.

“Father…”

Just as the song title, everyone has guessed that this song is written for his father.

And hearing this melody, it is with a faint sadness, which makes Lin Jiajia have a bad premonition in her heart. She thinks that listening to Zhou Yu’s song will probably make her cry.

It’s not like there haven’t been any before. Whether Zhou Yu sings his own songs or writes songs for others, there are many songs that are tear-jerking.

And this song is called “Father”, which is the most difficult for the reserved Chinese to express their family affection. But because it is a song about family affection, it is also the easiest song to touch people’s hearts.

The key is that everyone knows that Zhou Yu is the best at composing this kind of songs. His songs can use the simplest and plainest lyrics and music to impress every listener.

Even the audience at the scene were moved after seeing the information of Zhou Yu’s song.

“A song written for my father…”

When it comes to father, everyone’s eyes flicker slightly. It seems that it is rare to hear someone write a song for their father and mother.

The reserved Chinese will not talk about their loved ones even if they love them, let alone write a song for their parents.

But today, they saw it here in Zhou Yu, and the song title is so simple and straightforward, it is called “Father”.

On the stage, when the sad prelude ended, Zhou Yu raised the microphone and spoke slowly.

“I always ask for you but never say thank you

I didn’t understand your hardship until I grew up

I always pretended to be relaxed every time I left

Smiling and saying go back, turning around and tears in my eyes…”

Zhou Yu’s singing voice is still so gentle, but every word is so clear and full of true feelings. The few short lyrics seem to instantly awaken the distant childhood memories of many audiences.

As Zhou Yu’s song

The sound echoed in my ears, and my thoughts seemed to have traveled through time and returned to the scenes of each time I said goodbye to my father when I was a child.

Because he had to make money and support his family, my father had to leave home to work. Every time I sent my father to take the bus, it was not only me who was reluctant, but also my father. But for the sake of this family, he had to temporarily leave this family, leave his wife and children…

Such a scene is something that many ordinary families have experienced.

Zhou Yu used a few simple lyrics to awaken everyone’s distant memories.

“I want to be the same as before

Hold your warm palm

But you are not by my side

Tell the breeze to send peace and health…”

Lin Jiajia listened to Zhou Yu’s song, and her eyes flickered. Like many of Zhou Yu’s previous songs, there are no flashy lyrics, but the simple and plain content is particularly heart-catching.

Her own family is very ordinary, her hometown is in the countryside, and her family conditions when she was a child were only average. She remembered that she had very few impressions of her father at that time. The only impression she had of her father was the few days of getting along with him every year during the Spring Festival, the various snacks he brought her that she had never seen before, and the rough palms of his father when he took her shopping…

Zhou Yu’s singing was very touching, and the lyrics were very touching. As she listened, Lin Jiajia’s eyes could not help but turn red.

Even many people at the Spring Festival Gala had slightly red eyes at this moment.

“Time, time, please slow down

Don’t let you get older

I would give up everything I have in exchange for your long life

A father who has been strong all his life

What can I do for you

Please accept my insignificant concern…”

Zhou Yu’s singing gradually became better, and the penetration and appeal were stronger. He took the topic himself, and when singing this song, he was also truly devoted. The scenes of his childhood with his father kept flashing in his mind, which made his eyes turn red.

Even Director Li and his team in the backstage, even though they had heard this song several times during rehearsals, seemed to be deeply touched every time they heard it.

Family affection is the most touching, and Zhou Yu wrote this song well, and his singing is also very infectious. Every time you hear it, you can’t help but shed tears.

Even the guests on the scene were sitting upright at this moment, staring at Zhou Yu on the stage without blinking, listening to his singing. Many emotional guests were also wiping tears off the stage.

Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi were the same, their eyes were red, and their father’s old face kept flashing in their minds.

“Thank you for everything you have done

Holding up our family with both hands

Always trying your best to give me the best

Am I your pride

Are you still worried about me

The child you care about has grown up…”

Zhou Yu’s infectious and penetrating singing voice made the audience on the scene and the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala live at this moment tearful.

Especially the sentence “Am I your pride? Are you still worried about me? The child you care about has grown up”, which made many people tremble in their hearts.

Yes, who didn’t want to be the pride of his father? Who doesn’t want to carry the family for his father?

They couldn’t do it before because they were young and limited in ability, but now, they can do it!

The child who used to need his father to shelter him from the wind and rain has now grown up, and even become a father himself, becoming the pillar of the family!

When Zhou Yu sang to this point, he almost couldn’t hold it back, and his hand holding the microphone was shaking slightly.

When he listened to this song, he cried directly in the rental house. Every time he listened to it, his emotions would be affected. It can be said that when this song “Father” appeared at major evening parties, many people at the scene couldn’t hold back their tears.

And this song is also the work of Chopstick Brothers. Written and composed by Wang Taili, it was published on December 20, 2011. Like the song “Old Boy”, it is included in the album of the same name “Father”, and is also the theme song of the micro-film “Father”.

This song was written by Wang Taili during the filming of “Old Boy”. His father died of illness. In grief and deep longing for his father, he wrote this classic. While remembering his father, it is also a reminder for everyone to care more about their father who has worked hard all his life and not to leave regrets.

For Wang Taili, he did not make a name for himself in the first half of his life. He wanted to make music, but he never succeeded. Later, he made movies, but he could not let his father see his works until his father passed away.

When Wang Taili was interviewed, he said that his biggest regret in his life was that he did not let his father see that he had a promising future.

At that moment. In his father’s eyes, he was always the child who did not work properly and accomplished nothing.

At the end of his father’s illness, Wang Taili’s father told him, who was almost 40 years old, to do something practical and not to engage in these unrealistic music movies.

This sentence made Wang Taili very emotional.

Later, when filming the micro-film “Father” with Xiao Yang, the two were ready to speed up the progress so that Wang Taili’s father could see their work. Unfortunately, before that, Wang Taili’s father passed away. And relying on this movie and the two songs “Old Boy” and “Father”, Chopstick Brothers became popular. They were very popular back then, and later they launched the divine song “Little Apple”…

But Wang Taili’s father will never see all this again.

Everyone listened to Zhou Yu’s “Father”, whether it was the scene or the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast at this moment, they couldn’t help but redden their eyes. Some of the more emotional ones burst into tears.

The camera of the scene swept through, and it can be seen that many people at the scene, even the guests sitting in the front, were wiping tears.

Zhou Yu’s performance gradually came to the end, and it was already the last chorus. Everyone could see that when Zhou Yu sang, his voice was trembling and his eyes were red. Obviously, he was also trying his best to control his emotions.

“Time, time, please slow down

Don’t let you grow old anymore

I would like to exchange my life for your longevity

Am I your pride

Are you still worried about me

The child you care about has grown up

Thank you for having you along the way…”

At the end of the song, Zhou Yu himself almost couldn’t control his emotions. When singing this last part, he almost couldn’t sing. But fortunately, he finally completed this performance.

At this moment, the guests, the audience, and the backstage staff were all wiping tears with red eyes. Even the host hadn’t come back to his senses after seeing Zhou Yu’s performance. Someone next to him reminded the host, and then he adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, walked onto the stage, and started the next process.

Even Director Li and others looked at Zhou Yu who slowly walked off the stage, and their faces were full of emotion, and their eyes were still a little wet.

“This kid, on New Year’s Day, he did these things…”

This seems to be blaming Zhou Yu, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear that Director Li is praising Zhou Yu, and his tone seems to be very doting and appreciative of Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu returned to the scene from the backstage, when he passed by the special guests sitting there, many people pulled Zhou Yu to talk. It can be seen that these special guests are very satisfied with Zhou Yu’s performance this time.

When other artists and guests saw this scene, they were envious, but not jealous. Because they were also impressed by Zhou Yu’s performance this time. Apart from anything else, this song “Father” really earned everyone’s tears.

Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi’s eyes were still red. Wen Shiyi wiped her tears with a tissue. Looking at Zhou Yu who was talking happily with the leaders, her eyes were also shining with a touch of brilliance and joy.

This is the man she likes. He is still so outstanding…

For a moment, Wen Shiyi hesitated. Should she compromise?

Wen Shiyi still has no definite answer to this question, but compared with the beginning, her inner thoughts have begun to waver.

Zhou Yu is really too outstanding, and she really likes Zhou Yu. She can’t let herself give up.

It is definitely impossible to let Zhou Yu change now.

Then what if she changes herself? What if she tries to compromise?

When Zhou Yu came back here and sat down, Wen Shiyi came back to her senses from her contemplation.

At this moment, Zhou Yu’s song about his father has exploded on the Internet.

“Zhou Yu’s second new song on the Spring Festival Gala stage!”

“Zhou Yu’s new song “Father”!”

“Zhou Yu’s new song is so tear-jerking!”

“Father is so beautiful!”

…

Zhou Yu’s performance had just ended, and topics related to him were on the hot search again. The song “Father” also became popular on the Internet!

Zhou Yu’s second song “Father” was also popular on the Internet, earning everyone’s tears. Especially during the Spring Festival, which has a special meaning in the hearts of Chinese people, the family is reunited. Listening to Zhou Yu’s song and looking at his father’s old face, I don’t know how many people shed tears.

“Wow! I really cried to death. Zhou Yu wrote this song “Father” so well!”

“It is indeed well written and sung. I cried while listening to it at home!”

“It’s really touching. My father sat next to me and cried with me

I was watching the show, but as I listened, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. Looking at my father’s white hair, tears started to flow. ”

“It’s Chinese New Year, and I was watching the Spring Festival Gala and crying, but I still have to say it again, Zhou Yu is awesome! ”

……

During the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala tonight, Zhou Yu performed two of his original singles alone. One is “Red Dust Inn” and the other is “Father”, which are directly popular on the entire Internet!

The song “Red Dust Inn” is also popular abroad, occupying the top three of the overseas music charts for several consecutive days. Especially Zhou Yu’s performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage, the appearance of ancient costumes, the various Chinese classical musical instruments on the stage, and the Hanfu culture, have been liked by many people overseas.

Even Zhou Yu’s ancient costume appearance has been liked and forwarded more than 10 million times on overseas platforms, which can be said to be very popular.

Originally, Zhou Yu’s international influence was relatively small, and it can only be said that his international influence in Dongfangzhou is relatively large. But after the global live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yu’s international popularity has suddenly opened up.

“Ah! What is the name of this Chinese male star? He is so handsome!”

“Really handsome! This is the most handsome Chinese man I have ever seen! ”

“I saw online that what he is wearing is a Chinese-style Hanfu that is unique to China. It looks so beautiful. This guy looks good in it too!”

“This is Zhou Yu, a Chinese singer. His songs are great!”

…

This time, Zhou Yu took advantage of the Spring Festival Gala stage to not only increase his international fame, but also directly establish his super influential position in the Eastern Province. In the West, Zhou Yu’s influence and popularity have just begun to open up, and he is not considered a big star. But in the countries in the Eastern Province, especially in countries like H, Zhou Yu has now become a big star that they are also chasing after in their own country.

All of a sudden, there was a wave of reverse cultural output. Those who hated and boycotted Zhou Yu so much before are now even crazier than Zhou Yu’s fans in China.

In the past few days, after the Spring Festival Gala, all the major movies in the Spring Festival period on the first day of the Lunar New Year have been released. The most intense box office competition every year is the Spring Festival period and the summer period.

This year’s Spring Festival period has released nearly two Ten movies, but the ones with high film and box office are mostly those invested by big entertainment companies. But there are also many small-budget movies without big names, which have good box office performance.

Zhou Yu took a rough look and found that except for one or two necessary children’s cartoons, there were no other big-budget animated movies online. In this world, animation is still only broadcast online weekly, and no one has brought this big-budget animation to the big screen.

After all, the investment in an animated movie is not small, and the box office competition is so fierce that it is difficult for everyone to guarantee that the animated movie can make a profit after it goes online.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yu also felt that the movie “Tian Gang Chuan” should indeed be launched online in the form of online payment to test the waters. If possible, he will be able to Let’s try to bring those excellent animated films to the big screen.

During the Spring Festival, Zhou Yu went home to spend a few days with his parents, and then he went to systematically learn photography and shooting. If he wants to get involved in this summer season, he must shoot the film and submit it for review before May.

So the study schedule must be brought up. For Zhou Yu, learning these is not difficult. He already had the foundation before, and he has been learning from Director Chen for so long. Now he can focus on learning some systematic knowledge. As for other things, when the time comes, he can learn while shooting.

There are so many friends who are directors around him. Director Jiang Dan, Director Chen, Hong Tao, and Director Guo are all ready-made teachers. It’s okay to ask them for advice when the time comes. These big directors Experience and skills are better than the systematic knowledge in many books.

So during this period, Zhou Yu went to study systematically, and Ning Wanqiu was in charge of the company’s affairs.

When the Lantern Festival was approaching, Yang Qian and her friends saw that the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala movies was gradually declining, and they also announced on the Internet that “Tian Gang Zhuan” would be launched on March 1st. And her new TV series will also be launched on the 20th of this month, which was also officially announced in recent days.

Originally, the animation “Bad People” is very popular now. An original Chinese animation can become the number one Chinese animation now, which is enough to show how popular this animation is.

When Penguin Video and Yang Qian and her friends officially announced this animation and movie, it immediately caused a fierce online discussion.

Discussion.

“Oh my god! Am I seeing this right? The Bad Guys are going to have a movie?!”

“Really? And it’s a movie about the Marshal. I’m so looking forward to it!”

“I’ve seen the latest plot of The Bad Guys, and it seems that the Marshal is going to be offline!”

“Ah? Is it true? The Marshal is so strong, but his combat power ceiling is actually offline?”

“I saw it online, and it seems that the Marshal is going to start with death. I have to say, this original animation is so brain-burning, and you can never guess the next plot.”

…

Now the plot of the animation “The Bad Guys” has almost reached the point where the Bad Guy is going to start with death to force Li Xingyun to join the game. It will be updated here at the end of this month. This is also the reason why this animation, which is now the number one in China, will rush to the hot search after every update, and the popularity is not low.

Now it has been announced that the movie “The Legend of Tiangang” will be online, and it is a movie about the super popular character in the animation, the Bad Guy, which has made many fans look forward to it.

“It can only be seen on March 1st, but I see Yang Qian’s new drama will be online on the 20th of this month, in just a few days, I am looking forward to her new drama.”

“I heard that Zhou Yu will have a guest appearance in this drama. This is a costume drama, haha, then we can see Zhou Yu’s first costume TV series.”

“I am also looking forward to Zhou Yu’s guest appearance, haha, I heard that he is playing Yang Qian’s master, a master-disciple love.”

“Haha, although this master-disciple love has no plot, I like to watch it.”
