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

Chapter 256 The ordinary road!

Zhou Yu's performance on the crew is getting more and more outstanding. In the past few days on the crew, because of Zhou Yu's presence, there have been many changes to the scripts originally prepared. Because of Zhou Yu's demonstrated ability, Director Chen always valued Zhou Yu's opinions at the scene. This also leads to the fact that when filming later, Director Chen will discuss with Zhou Yu on the spot. If Zhou Yu's opinion is acceptable, then the scene will be modified directly.

No one has any opinions on this, because after experiencing Zhou Yu's adaptation of the scenes, the results were very good after filming.

Director Chen and the others praised Zhou Yu more than once: "Xiao Zhou, your ability as a director is good. Having you on the crew this time has saved us a lot of trouble."

Regarding the filming of "Detective Chinatown" this time, Director Chen felt that it was relatively difficult to shoot. Although the actors are all old friends and good at acting, many times they fail to achieve the effect they want to present. This also resulted in the filming progress on site becoming slower and slower. If Zhou Yu hadn't been around to give advice and adapt the scenes, he wouldn't have known how long the play would have been delayed.

Zhou Yu smiled modestly every time, but because he still had some announcements to catch up with in China, after filming here for a few days, he adapted the script with Director Chen and then returned to China. Director Chen and the others also understood Zhou Yu. If he was away, they would shoot other scenes first, and then wait until Zhou Yu came back to shoot scenes related to Zhou Yu.

However, because Zhou Yu is the protagonist, there are quite a lot of scenes. The other scenes can be filmed in about a week according to the script adapted from Zhou Yu's discussion with him.

Director Chen also took a look and found that Zhou Yu only had to record the last two episodes of "Singer" in China, and then he would have to attend CCTV's New Year's Eve party on the 31st of this month. This won't waste much time, but the hardest part is Zhou Yu, who has to travel both at home and abroad this month.

Zhou Yu also felt that this period of time was quite tiring, traveling both at home and abroad. No, today I flew directly back to Mango Channel in China to participate in the recording of the eleventh episode of "Singer".

Now "Singer" has entered the countdown. With only the last two episodes, this season of "Singer" is coming to an end. But the popularity of this show is getting higher and higher. Although the king of singing this season is obviously Zhou Yu, everyone still maintains a high degree of enthusiasm and expectation for this show. After all, every program is exciting, especially Zhou Yu's performance. Everyone has been looking forward to Zhou Yu's new songs in every program.

Looking at his idol Zhou Yu, Yang Zihan felt that Zhou Yu was getting better and better, more and more charming. He was indeed his idol, and now he was the leading actor in the new movie directed by Chen Da.

In the lounge, Zhou Yu was the last to arrive because he rushed back from abroad. When he arrived in the lounge, everyone was already there.

And now, because Zhao Lei is on the show, Zhou Yu will prepare new songs for Zhao Lei in every episode. In addition to Zhou Yu's own songs, everyone can hear two songs composed by Zhou Yu in every episode.

Is this guy so energetic? Moreover, Zhou Yu previously switched careers to become a screenwriter, which was a behind-the-scenes job. This time he went to film and become an actor, switching from behind the scenes to in front of the stage. Is this guy really good?
Shen Guangyan has never seen what Zhou Yu is like when filming, although Zhou Yu is now very successful in switching from a singer to a screenwriter. But can he really switch from being behind the scenes to being an actor in front of the stage? Are your acting skills passable?

So no matter what the outcome of this episode is, she feels that she can do her best to perform well, not to leave any regrets, and to give the best performance to the viewers and fans who support her.

Yang Zihan was actually the most nervous at the beginning, but after chatting like this, she relaxed a lot. Among the remaining guests, she actually knew her situation very well and was the one most likely to be eliminated.

Zhou Yu smiled modestly, and everyone chatted. The atmosphere in the lounge is not that tense. This is already the eleventh episode, and the last guest has to be eliminated. But after chatting like this, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared a lot.

Even Shen Guangyan looked at Zhou Yu curiously, although he had always known that Zhou Yu was changing careers, from singer to screenwriter. But now they heard that he was going abroad to film movies and become an actor, which surprised them.

Speaking of music, Zhou Yu’s music is already so great, and he just swept all the individual awards at the Golden Melody Awards not long ago. As a screenwriter across industries, the results and reputation of the original animation "Bad Man" are getting better and better, and it is called the light of national comics by netizens. There is also a new variety show "Chinese Poetry Conference" co-operated with CCTV. It is now also a popular variety show. It is becoming more and more popular and it is likely to become a record-breaking variety show.

Their relationship with Zhou Yu is not as close as that of Chen Mo and others, so they don't know much about Zhou Yu's situation.

After listening to the songs Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei, this also gave everyone another expectation. In addition to Zhou Yu, many people are looking forward to Zhao Lei's performance in every episode.

Telling this matter now also means to speak for Zhou Yu.

Teacher Chen Mo and Zhao Lei knew about Zhou Yu's recent filming abroad, but Teacher Shen Guangyan and Fu Ming did not know about it.

But now that she thought about it carefully, she was able to reach the eleventh period, which had greatly exceeded their previous expectations, and she was very satisfied.

After all, Zhou Yu is now very popular and handsome. In this era where traffic is king, all he needs to do is show his face and act handsome.

They also know very well what Director Chen requires of actors, no matter how popular you are or how strong your background is. In his case, as long as the acting skills are not up to standard during the audition and he feels that it does not meet the requirements of the role, then it will not be used. This is also the reason why Director Chen's works in recent years have achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success.

"Haha, you kid, didn't you win too many awards at the Golden Melody Awards before, so you're starting to put on a show, right?"

Fu Ming and Shen Guangyan took a deep look at Zhou Yu and suppressed the shock in their hearts: "You kid, you really hide your secrets."

Teacher Fu Ming looked at Zhou Yu in confusion and asked, "Little Zhou Yu is now changing careers to become an actor?"

Yang Zihan, as the first guest to appear, had already followed him to wait.

The recording of the eleventh episode officially started, and Teacher Chen Mo started to go on stage as the host to go through the process.

Teacher Chen Mo felt that there was no need to hide this matter. The key was that he felt that Zhou Yu would tell it if he didn't tell it. And hadn't Shen Guangyan always looked down on Zhou Yu before? From the flash of doubt in Shen Guangyan's eyes just now, he knew what Shen Guangyan was thinking.

Now, Zhou Yu has crossed over to become an actor again, and he is the leading actor in director Chen's new movie. This starting point is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"It seems that I will be the last this time."

"Filming?"

Zhou Yu was still able to joke about these things: "No way, I just came back from filming abroad. I'm a little late."

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, do you have any other skills that we don't know about that you are hiding from us?"

Sure enough, when Fu Ming and Shen Guangyan heard that Zhou Yu was going to shoot Director Chen's new movie, and that he was also the leading actor, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes. Even Yang Zihan next to him had a look of astonishment on his pretty face at the moment, but it soon turned into excitement and admiration.

Is this what happened when he went abroad to film?
Before Zhou Yu could speak, Teacher Chen Mo rushed to answer: "Teacher Fu, you don't know, but this guy is doing very well now, and he is now the leading actor in Director Chen's new movie."

When Teacher Chen Mo's hosting process ended, Yang Zihan officially took the stage to perform. This time she brought a singing and dancing performance. As the lead singer of a girl group, singing and dancing is what she is best at.

Teacher Chen Mo smiled and joked, and everyone also teased Zhou Yu.

And Zhou Yu was able to pass Director Chen's audition and gain Director Chen's approval, which already shows that Zhou Yu's acting skills were recognized by Director Chen.

Whether it's the previous "One Meat and One Vegetable" or "The Nameless Man", or the previous issue's "Life is Like a Summer Flower". Each of these songs is a hit song, and the quality is very high. Zhao Lei's singing has never disappointed everyone.

In this penultimate episode of the show, everyone is still looking forward to Zhou Yu and Zhao Lei's performances.

"Goddess! So beautiful!"

Otherwise, these people really think that Zhou Yu has no ability to make money by becoming an actor.

Could Zhou Yu be like those popular artists who have crossed industries to make money in recent years, just to make money in the entertainment industry?

Zhou Yu laughed and joked to himself, there are fewer and fewer people left now. The lounge seemed increasingly empty, and without Liu Zifan, Zhou Yu felt that the air and atmosphere of the entire lounge were much better.

In particular, Yang Zihan is beautiful in person, with her long legs and hot and sexy dance moves, which made many viewers scream in surprise.

Nowadays, many film and television works have turned a good drama into a bad one just because of the participation of these popular artists who have no acting skills and only face paralysis.

The two of them looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster, Teacher Fu Ming said with emotion.

"Wow! Zihan is so beautiful, this stage is so beautiful!"

"What should I do? I really don't want Zihan to be eliminated, but the others are so strong."

"Indeed, the other guests are too strong, alas, but Zihan is already very good for being able to persist to this point."

"That's right, I think Zihan is much better than Liu Zifan anyway, haha."

"I agree with this. Liu Zifan is a joke now."

……

Yang Zihan's singing and dancing performance in this episode is really exciting. As a member of a girl group, she used her advantages to the extreme. That graceful dance posture makes everyone excited now. But everyone also knows that facing big devils like Zhou Yu and others, the probability of Yang Zihan winning is very small.

It can even be said that this time is Yang Zihan's last performance.

Zhou Yu and the others couldn't help but nod their heads when they saw Yang Zihan's singing and dancing performance. As the lead singer of a girl group, Yang Zihan has strong business abilities. In her body, Zhou Yu can see the difference from other girl group members, and Yang Zihan can see her true ability. She is different from those girl group members who rely on traffic and have little business ability.

After watching Yang Zihan's performance, Zhou Yu asked Wang Jiachao next to him in a low voice: "Is Yang Zihan's contract with her group about to expire?"

If Zhou Yu remembers correctly, Yang Zihan's girl group was formed by a big company that was pretty good in the industry two years ago. The entire combination is not developing very well and can only be regarded as average. It is a method used by entertainment companies to make money in the form of combinations. Later, because the girl group business did not develop very well, Yang Zihan and the others were separated and developed separately. As the lead singer and good-looking member of the group, Yang Zihan has developed better among the girls.

Wang Jiachao and Zhao Lei seemed to have guessed Zhou Yu's inner thoughts when they heard Zhou Yu ask this question.

"Well, they originally signed a girl group contract, which was signed every three years. However, it seems that their girl group is not developing very well now. Their company is planning to disband, and then sign their better-developed individuals separately... "

Zhou Yu finally understood that Yang Zihan was signing a girl group contract, not a personal contract. That way, it would be much simpler.

Zhao Lei also asked curiously: "Brother Yu, are you ready to sign Yang Zihan?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Her business skills are very good, but it depends on whether she is willing." He had this idea. Yang Zihan wanted to be good-looking and capable. It just so happens that his company has just started and is short of people. It would be great to be able to sign some capable artists.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wang Jiachao and Zhao Lei also nodded thoughtfully. Nowadays, the company only consists of the two of them, not counting the boss himself, and this manpower is indeed too small. And just like Brother Yu said, Yang Zihan is not bad in ability, so it is okay to sign him.

At this time Yang Zihan also came back, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "What a wonderful performance!"

Seeing his idol's affirmation of himself, Yang Zihan was a little flattered. He sat obediently on the sofa and quietly watched the guest's performance afterwards.

After the performance, Yang Zihan felt really relaxed. As for the final result, she felt that it was no longer important. Even if she was eliminated, she felt that she had nothing to regret.

She is already very satisfied to be able to present the final stage performance to the audience and to have reached this point.

She knows very well where her abilities lie, so she doesn't dare to expect too much.

However, when other guests were performing, Zhou Yu patted her shoulder gently and asked in a low voice: "Zihan, do you want to find a place to chat after the recording is over?"

I'm still recording the show now, so it's not easy to talk about work.

Yang Zihan didn't expect Zhou Yu to talk to him alone. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes at first, and then it turned into surprise. He nodded quickly: "Yeah! Yes!"

When Yang Zihan's manager saw this, he was also surprised. Is there something going on when Mr. Zhou Yu comes to see his Yang Zihan?

She couldn't figure it out, but since Teacher Zhou Yu invited her, she definitely couldn't refuse. If they can build a good relationship with Teacher Zhou Yu, then Teacher Zhou Yu will help them write a song. I don’t know how many people will envy them.

With the recording of this episode of the program, everyone is also performing on stage one after another. Zhou Yu took a look at everyone's performances in this issue. They were all wonderful, and they even felt like they were performing beyond the ordinary. After all, it is the last showdown before the finals, and everyone wants to try their best to give the best stage performance.

And the competition is so fierce now that if you are not careful, you will be surpassed or even eliminated.

The recording of the show gradually came to an end, and it was Zhao Lei's turn to take the stage.

"Here it comes! It's time for Zhao Lei to appear. Apart from Zhou Yu, what I'm most looking forward to is his performance."

"Haha, what a coincidence. I am the same way. Zhao Lei's performance now is very exciting."

"That's right. The songs written by Zhou Yu and sung by Zhao Lei are really touching."

"The last issue was about folk songs, and I think this one should be the folk song type that Zhao Lei is best at."

……

When Zhao Lei slowly walked onto the stage, music sounded, and the song information he sang this time also appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Song Title: Ordinary Road
Vocals: Zhao Lei

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at the song information that Zhao Lei was going to sing this time and listened to the soothing and relaxing melody.

Especially in the lounge, Teacher Fu Ming and the others looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou wrote another ballad for Xiao Zhao."

From the melody of the song "Ordinary Road", they could tell what type of new song Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei this time. There was a guess before that this was Zhao Lei's best genre of folk songs, but now that I heard it, it turned out to be true.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. This folk song was Zhao Lei's best song, and it was the most important one to advance to the finals. Zhou Yu naturally hoped that the higher the nouns Zhao Lei got in the end, the better. As for Wang Jiachao, this guy no longer needs Zhou Yu to help him write songs.

Wang Jiachao's current creative state is very good. Although he cannot get a high ranking, it is definitely no problem to ensure that he reaches the finals. As for the song for the finals, Zhou Yu thought it would be better to do it himself.

After all, the higher the ranking in the finals, the better it will be for future development.

Zhou Yu never treats the artists of his own company poorly.

When the audience listened to the prelude of the song sung by Zhao Lei in this episode, they also spoke in surprise.

"Haha! Look, what I'm talking about must be Zhao Lei's best ballad!"

"The Ordinary Road feels like another realistic song written by Zhou Yu."

"Why do I have a bad feeling in my heart? Is this song going to make me cry again?"

……

Everyone has already experienced the songs written by Zhou Yu and Zhao Lei's singing. Basically every time, Zhao Lei's singing will make many people cry on the spot, and the same is true for the songs written by Zhou Yu. The lyrics are not rich in rhetoric, but they are particularly gripping.

Just like the previous "One Meat and One Vegetable" and "The Nameless Man", they use the simplest lyrics to sing the most tear-jerking masterpiece.

Everyone is also a little worried. Will Zhao Lei's "Ordinary Road" in this issue be the same as before?

On the stage, Zhao Lei slowly raised the microphone and began to sing.

"Wandering

on the road
do you want to leave
away
fragile

proud
That was also what I looked like..."

Zhao Lei's singing voice was very calm and gentle, as if the breeze from the mountains was blowing in everyone's ears. Gradually, the scene began to become quiet.

"boiling

uneasy

Where are you going
away
Mystery
silent

story you really

Are you listening..."

Everyone listened to Zhao Lei's singing. This song is different from previous songs. This song "Ordinary Road" gives people a very soft feeling. The simple lyrics seem to be heart-wrenching questions. Generally speaking, I am asking myself.

In that sense of gentleness, there is also a touch of thinking about the true meaning of life. Many people are unconsciously lost in thought while listening. The rhythm of the whole song is very soothing, but there is a lyrical meaning in every word and every sentence. Zhao Lei's clear voice, coupled with his low singing, made everyone feel a little more calm when listening, and at the same time there was a sense of confusion and sadness about youth.

"I have crossed mountains and seas
Also through the sea of ​​people

everything i ever had

In a blink of an eye, it's like smoke

I have been disappointed

lose all direction

until you see the ordinary
is the only answer..."

The song "The Ordinary Road" written by Zhou Yu to Zhao Lei this time is a song sung and composed by Pu Shu and written by Han Han. This song was released on July 2014, 7, and is also the theme song of the movie "The End of Time".

Pu Shu's song was originally written by Liger when he was preparing to release a new album. He was asked by Han Han, and the two collaborated to complete this classic. Later Han Han used it in the movie "The End of Time".

This song also continues Pu Shu's consistent style, with a slow lyrical rhythm and his clear and deep singing voice, making the song full of a touch of sadness but with a bit of warmth. It not only allows the listener to calm down and enjoy the peace and innocence in the stable melody, but also through the power of the song, he can experience the intuition of youth and find the direction for the future amidst sadness and confusion.

And Pu Shu always gives people the feeling of an "old boy". The highly recognizable "youthful feeling" in his music, that kind of clarity, sincerity and incomparable innocence, is not something that every musician has. .

And this song "The Ordinary Road" is also one of his classic works among many songs. Sometimes, this song doesn’t need to be sung. Reading the lyrics brings back memories. It’s like seeing pictures of young people shedding tears and moving forward silently on the ordinary road of life.
Pu Shu's songs are always so touching and intoxicating.
