Riding the wind of rebirth

Now he has gradually become the main co-arranger and album producer of various record companies. He also composes his own songs, many of which are famous. A-mei's "Cut Love" and "Listen to the Sea" are among the best.

Previously, Zhou Zhi selected Zhou Chuanxiong's "Hasayaqi" for Tingting, so they had a good relationship. Last year, Zhou Chuanxiong's "My Heart is Too Confused" was just written and was immediately favored by Zhou Zhi.

The music circle in Taiwan is relatively small. The young man is now famous and has been receiving many production invitations. Tingting is no longer able to get a place in the queue, so she recommended Tu Huiyuan to him as a producer.

Zhou Chuanxiong also felt that there was no problem in letting Tu Huiyuan produce "My Heart is Too Messy".

In fact, Zhou Zhi didn't have any specific impression of Tu Huiyuan until he saw his resume and found out that in 1991 he had produced an album for a famous singer who came decades later, and the two were even married. Only then did Zhou Zhi suddenly realize who this person was.

The song "Listen to the Sea" was originally discovered by A-mei and became popular in 1996. Zhou Zhi had not planned to let Guan Tingting sing this song before, because emotionally, Guan Tingting might not be able to handle such a deep and broken song.

However, singers like Guan Tingting also face a problem, that is, their image is solidified. The company is eager for quick success and will highlight one aspect of the singer and try its best to create it. Once a title like "Sweetheart Queen" forms an impression on the public, it will be extremely difficult to change track later.

According to the experience of Zhou Zhi and later generations, almost no one can succeed. Some of them remain silent for more than ten years and only start again after the public has almost forgotten their specific image.

To avoid such a situation, a very reliable way is to demonstrate your plasticity and diversity from the very beginning.

Guan Tingting has always had two images before. One is that she is good at controlling folk song elements, which is her specialty. The second is that of a fresh campus singer, or the younger sister type, who mainly appears lively and cute.

But she also likes to make breakthrough attempts, such as serving as harmony in the rock band Dabaozi's "Mountain Songs Are Like Spring River Water", and collaborating with Su Fang on the very popular song "Persistence". Although they were all out of interest and personal relationships, they did gain a wave of recognition and made the audience discover her diversity.

Since he had such an idea, Zhou Zhi thought he could give it a try. Although the song "Listen to the Sea" was Ah Mei's hit song in another time and space, it was also performed by another person, Jacky Cheung.

The version performed by Jacky Cheung actually has the flavor of jazz and soul, but it has more of a jazz flavor and the soul is not particularly obvious.

But if a girl sings the verse part in the style of Mariah Carey, humming a soulful tune, and adding a gorgeous transition at the end of the chorus, the effect will be absolutely amazing.

Almost no one in the Chinese singing world has tried this kind of singing style. If Guan Tingting succeeds, she will become the first person and thus establish her own popular style.

"Is it okay?" Guan Tingting had heard the DEMO of this song, but felt it was a bit difficult.

"Try it. Don't forget that you have a whole school of teachers behind you who can ask for advice. This is your unique advantage." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Tingting, you are not going to back down again, are you?"

"Just give it a try!" Guan Tingting's unyielding spirit was aroused.

"Let's toast to Tingting to wish her a successful album!" Zhou Zhi raised his glass again: "Our hometown is going to have a big star!"

"Tingting is already a big star." Feng Xueshan spat, "The most popular female singer among college students, isn't she a big star? This cup is for congratulations!" There are many topics to talk about when old friends meet. No one has been idle in the past six months. Yan Xiao is still fighting in the country. Liang Hong has become the only player from the Sports Institute to join the school team as a non-basketball major and is now preparing for the National College Students Games. Yang Honghui just won the national fencing championship, and Zhao Zhonggang finally removed the word "agent" from his title of squadron leader. Liu Lu won two stores of Renhe and Chuntian, and the brand agency was also upgraded. Yang He was promoted to the on-site manager of the Clover Engineering Department and is solely responsible for the information engineering construction of the Second Municipal Hospital.

The one who has changed the most is Feng Xueshan. After being parachuted into Clover, it took her only half a year to show her talent in logistics management and she was directly promoted to general manager of the logistics department.

"I didn't participate in this at all. It was Xueshan who won the award with her own ability and personal charm." Zhou Zhi was already drunk and raised his glass: "Let's toast to Xueshan and the monk."

"That's weird." Yan Xiao expressed his dissatisfaction: "Before, we drank alone, why are we drinking together here?"

"We work in the same unit and get promoted together. That's called making progress together." Zhou Zhi said with a shy smile, "Actually, I lost control tonight and drank too much..."

"That won't do. This isn't the right way to be a wine commander. If we're really in the same unit, this is blatant favoritism." Yang Honghui also followed suit.

"That's easy." Feng Xueshan pulled Yang He up and said, "The monk and I had two rounds of drinks with everyone, and we tied as well!"

"Xueshan is still straightforward!" Yan Xiao then picked up the glass: "I didn't know you could drink so much before, it seems we need to get together more often."

"Yes, you and Zhong Gang have already settled down in Shudu, and so has Tingting. You should share your experiences with us so that we can settle down sooner."

Yan Xiao and Zhao Zhonggang didn't hear the double meaning in Feng Xueshan's words at all. They pointed at Zhou Zhi and said, "Why don't you go to him instead of us? He was the one who advised us to buy our house!"

Yan Xiao said, "Your benefits at Clover are so good, and Xueshan is the general manager of the department. The year-end bonus alone is enough to buy a house, right? By the way, I remember that Clover's department also has a car, right? Xueshan, what car are you driving now?"

"I always take the shuttle bus, there is no assigned car." After everyone finished drinking, Feng Xueshan said, "Our logistics department is already in charge of the shuttle bus, it is not appropriate to assign a special car. Besides, there are many CEOs in the group waiting for a car, and I, who works in logistics, don't need it."

"My workplace is right next to the school, and it's also very close to Hongqi Village. Sometimes I need to come here, and I just ask the monk to give me a ride on the way to work."

"Then you, monk, should get a good car. Your engineering pickup truck is not worthy of a delicate beauty like Xueshan." Yan Xiao joked.

"Buy, buy, and wait until the project award comes in to buy." Yang He nodded quickly.

"What are you talking about, Salt Rat?" Zhou Zhi retorted, "My Defender has now been converted into a pickup truck. You are generalizing."

"Let me tell you, only those who have used a pickup truck know how convenient it is. It is durable and can handle a lot of terrain. It is much more versatile than a sedan."

"Heshang, don't listen to Yan Laoshu. You should wait until the project award comes and quickly choose a good house." Zhou Zhi said, "But your aesthetic taste may be a little poor, so you need Xueshan to help you check it." (End of this chapter)
