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

Chapter 260 Heading North!
When Zhou Yu appeared on stage, the bullet screen of CCTV's live broadcast room was instantly flooded with comments. Fans of Zhou Yu's songs were all commenting on Zhou Yu's name in the bullet screen.

Lin Jiajia looked at Zhou Yu on the stage. Just looking at his appearance was very pleasing to the eye.

"Practice love……"

Looking at the song Zhou Yu sang this time, Lin Jiajia's eyes flickered: "It seems to be a love song that belongs to the category of modern pop music."

Zhou Yu has quite a lot of songs of this type, and his modern love songs are also very popular. For example, the previous "Qilixiang" and "Sunny Day" are modern love pop music. Each song is a hit song, and they are all songs that can make people play them on repeat for a long time.

The new song "Practicing Love" that Zhou Yu brought to CCTV this time belongs to this category of songs, and Lin Jiajia and others are also looking forward to it.

Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian looked at Zhou Yu's new song with twinkling eyes.

"Practice love……"

The two people's heartbeats seemed to speed up a little, and an idea popped into their minds: Could Zhou Yu be hinting at something?
Taking a deep breath, there was a different meaning in the eyes of Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi, and a hint of determination flashed in the depths of their eyes.

On the CCTV side, Zhou Yu took the microphone and spoke slowly.

"Why should I be disappointed
Hide tears in the heart
The past won't lie, don't bother with it
We don't need this between us.

I think……"

Zhou Yu's singing voice rang in everyone's ears. The warm and soothing voice made the audience at the CCTV site gradually quiet down, leaving only flashing lights.

This song was composed and sung by JJ Lin, with lyrics written by Yi Jiayang and music arranged by Wu Qinglong. It was released as a single on February 2013, 2, and later included in JJ Lin's album "Because of You" released on March 21 of the same year.

The song "Practicing Love" was written by JJ Lin based on a story between himself and a good friend. It is also a song that he has to control his emotions every time he sings.

When JJ Lin was 16 years old, a girl confessed her love to him, but was rejected by JJ Lin. However, the two eventually became good friends. With the help of the girl, JJ Lin also met his first love girlfriend. Unfortunately, in 1997, the girl encountered a plane crash while flying and left the world forever. When JJ Lin knew about this, he saw the only photo of him that was saved in the plane crash. JJ Lin could not accept this result and always felt that he was ashamed of this girl.

This incident has become a permanent pain in JJ Lin's heart, and he never wants to talk about it. Until 2013, the tenth anniversary of JJ Lin's debut, he wrote a song about his story with the girl, telling everyone the secrets in his heart. He also hopes to use this song to let everyone understand that some memories cannot be forgotten, and some feelings will never come back after they are lost. Every love is a practice, and it is for the next love to be better...

"The sadness of practicing love
Learn to let go of your past desires

How difficult it is to forget our beliefs

Appreciation from a distance, confusion from close up
Who said the sun would find the moon?

We can’t imitate the love that others have…”

Lin Jiajia and the others listened to Zhou Yu's singing. His gentle voice was filled with a hint of sadness and regret, which made everyone slightly stunned. Zhou Yu's songs were all like this. Every time I listened to them, I could feel the images and emotions that other songs could not provide.

Director Li and his colleagues in the backstage watched the live broadcast data rise sharply, even drastically, and there was a constant smile on their faces.

"This kid, as soon as he arrived, the number of people watching the live broadcast skyrocketed. Now his influence is extraordinary."

There were many big names on the show before, but the live broadcast data did not rise as much as after Zhou Yu came. Although it was expected that the live broadcast data would definitely rise after Zhou Yu came, it was obvious that Director Li and others underestimated Zhou Yu's current influence and appeal.

It can be said that Zhou Yu's current influence and appeal have far surpassed many celebrities in the industry. Even those so-called superstars are not as good as Zhou Yu.

"Old Li, Xiao Zhou's popularity is incredible!"

The chief director of the New Year's Eve party sitting in front of the monitor couldn't help but sigh. After Zhou Yu came on stage, the number of people in the live broadcast room directly skyrocketed from 70 to 80 million to more than 100 million. Moreover, this number has not reached the limit yet and is still rising. It will soon exceed 200 million.

And this time, Zhou Yu was not just performing this one song. After that, Zhou Yu had another song to perform. Two songs, plus some interaction time, it was about ten minutes. In just these ten minutes, they could imagine how much their data would skyrocket.

In the half-song time that Zhou Yu was on stage, they had already gone from being ranked third to directly surpassing Blueberry Channel and Mango Channel and became the first.

Although due to the special nature of CCTV, we do not attach much importance to these rankings, but who doesn’t want to be number one?
Director Li looked at the situation and smiled with satisfaction.

"This kid is really a treasure now."

On the other TV stations, especially Mango and Blueberry, looking at the live broadcast data of the major stations, CCTV has now surpassed them and rushed to the first place. At the beginning, Mango was still confused.

"Could it be that some senior big shot from CCTV is going to perform during this time period?"

But at first glance, wow, it was only Zhou Yu who appeared.

Then Mango TV and Blueberry TV shook their heads helplessly. There was nothing they could do. Although Zhou Yu had little experience, his influence and popularity were already at the top of the circle.

Especially on Mango TV, because Zhou Yu is still participating in the "Singer" on this station, they are very clear about Zhou Yu's influence and appeal. It can be said that more than half of the credit for the current success of "Singer" belongs to Zhou Yu.

However, even Mango TV couldn't help but sigh when seeing the exaggerated surge in live broadcast data from CCTV.

"Zhou Yu's influence is truly terrifying!"

Previously, CCTV's live broadcast data was only fair, ranking third among the major stations. But as soon as Zhou Yu appeared, the live broadcast data skyrocketed, and it was ahead of them by a lot.

All I can say is that Zhou Yu’s influence is too terrifying!

On the stage, Zhou Yu's performance continued.

"Memory is really arrogant

Street lights illuminate the pain
How many times have lovers looked at the moon together?
How many times has it seen the sky forget

How panicked..."

This song "Practicing Love" is a unique love song that transcends love. It is full of regrets, pity, and remorse for friends. Zhou Yu's moving singing makes this song very appealing. The whole song presents a moving emotion that is subtle, subtle, sad, but not hurtful.

Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian listened to Zhou Yu's song with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Zhou Yu's unique insights into love and the fact that he wrote so many love songs made the two of them feel a little confused about Zhou Yu.

Where did Zhou Yu find so much inspiration?

Was it a real experience? Or was it just the inspiration he got from what he saw and heard in life?
But no matter which point, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi both had one idea in their minds, especially when they saw those crazy fans on the barrage, constantly brushing words like "Zhou Yu, husband" and "Brother loves me", the two of them felt a little uncomfortable.

She clenched her fists tightly, and the thoughts in her mind became more and more firm.

"Practice the joys and sorrows of love
Our efforts are not simple

Happiness turned into tears is a kind of courage

Fantasy from a few years ago, forgiveness from a few years later
To heal a body of wounds for a face
Don’t tell me you miss me, I can’t stand it…”

Zhou Yu's tone gradually increased and the rhythm became much faster. The next moment, Zhou Yu spoke again.

"Laughing and saying love makes people crazy
Crying and saying love makes people nervous
If you can’t forget that person, then surrender…”

Then came the repeated chorus part. When Zhou Yu finished singing the song, the entire audience was cheering and shouting.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu!"

After singing, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to go down, because he still had one song to perform. Giving the prop teachers some time to set up the stage, Zhou Yu took the microphone and livened up the atmosphere on the stage without the host saying anything.

"Hi! Hello everyone!"

As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, the audience on site became excited again. And not only the audience on site, but also the online audience were rushing into the live broadcast room of CCTV and swiping the screen frantically.

"Ahhh! Zhou Yu is so handsome!"

“Spending New Year’s Eve with my husband, so happy!”

"Hubby, stop talking, finish singing, come home and hold me to sleep!"

"Uh uh...can you guys stop being so exaggerated? We male fans are very rational."

"Wow! Brother Zhou Yu, are you still in need of a boyfriend?"

"Is this the rationality of you male fans?"

"Please! This is Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu, ah, be rational. How can you expect me to be rational?"

……

Director Li and his colleagues looked at the number of people in the live broadcast room, which has now exceeded 200 million, directly surpassing Mango TV's 50 million, and is far ahead.

“This data is still rising.”

Since Zhou Yu's appearance till now, the number of viewers in this live broadcast room has been increasing online, with no downward trend at all.

The performance time of this guy's two songs actually raised the ratings of the entire station tonight.

Zhou Yu was standing on the stage, holding the microphone and interacting with the audience.

"The new year is coming soon. I wish you all good health, good luck and prosperity in the new year..."

After saying a lot of blessings, Zhou Yu asked, "It's so late, are you tired? Are you cold?"

The whole audience responded: "Not tired! Not cold!"

Someone in the front row shouted, "Zhou Yu, one more song!"

Then everyone shouted in unison: "One more song!"

"One more song!"

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prop teachers are still setting up the stage, let's chat first."

Although there were no shows to watch and no new songs to listen to, everyone was quite happy chatting with Zhou Yu. In addition, the host came on stage and gave gifts to the fans together with Zhou Yu.

This scene made online viewers like Lin Jiajia envious.

Even Wen Shiyi and the others smiled when they saw Zhou Yu interacting with the audience.

This guy is really good at livening up the atmosphere.

"Shiyi, it's time to get ready to go on stage." Sister Lin came over and gently patted Wen Shiyi on the shoulder. Seeing her watching Zhou Yu's performance, she smiled knowingly.

"You, go to Beijing tomorrow and seize the opportunity to talk more with Teacher Zhou Yu and improve your relationship. Otherwise, if someone really kidnaps you, you will cry."

Wen Shiyi did not refute with a red face like she did before, but just silently handed the phone to Xiaoqin and put it away, and replied softly.

"I see."

After hearing this, Sister Lin and Xiaoqin looked at each other, and they finally understood.

The same thing happened to Yang Qian. It was almost her turn to go on stage. She had already handed her cell phone to her assistant and started waiting in the backstage area.

Tomorrow she will go to Beijing and meet Zhou Yu. Yang Qian feels that she must prepare herself. She is almost 30 years old and is not a young girl anymore. She will take the initiative when she meets someone she likes. Hesitation is not her style.

Besides, Zhou Yu is so outstanding, there are countless people watching him.

only……

Yang Qian currently doesn’t know how to talk to her best friend Wen Shiyi. She knows very well that Wen Shiyi is also interested in Zhou Yu.

For a moment, the more I thought about these things, the more irritated I felt.

After Yang Qian left, Zhao Lei and Wang Jiachao looked at each other. As soon as the boss left, Sister Qian had been watching. And it seemed that Sister Qian really had an unusual feeling for the boss.

No matter how dumb Zhao Lei was, he could still sense that something was wrong.

"Brother Chao, do you think Sister Qian is right about Brother Yu..."

Wang Jiachao gently reminded: "Shh, don't say this here."

Now they are still recording the New Year's Eve party, and there are people sitting around. Although the performance is very loud and Zhao Lei's voice is relatively low, it is not easy to be heard. But discussing such things, even if it is gossip, is not a good idea in this occasion, and it is inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will hear and take advantage of it.

In this entertainment industry, some people are capable of doing anything dirty.

Zhao Lei also understood, and Wang Jiachao took out his mobile phone to send him a message and chat.

"My sister Qian seems to be interested in the boss. Whenever she mentions the boss, her eyes look strange."

Zhao Lei felt the same way: "Brother Chao, who do you think is more suitable for Brother Yu, Sister Qian or Sister Shiyi?"

This question stumped Wang Jiachao.

When Wang Jiachao heard Zhao Lei's question, he fell into deep thought.

How should I describe Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian? They are both excellent, and both are top-notch beauties even in the entertainment industry. The key is that they are both very capable and have a good relationship with Zhou Yu.

But if Wang Jiachao really had to say who is more suitable between the two of them and Zhou Yu, he was a little confused.

Wen Shiyi and Zhou Yu are both singers, and after working with Zhou Yu, they have gained many CP fans online. From this perspective, the two seem to be more suitable. But look at Yang Qian, her conditions are no worse than Wen Shiyi, and she and Zhou Yu are both single. Moreover, the two are neighbors, and their relationship is no worse than Wen Shiyi's...

This makes it really difficult to choose.

Wang Jiachao typed a reply on his phone.

"I don't know about that. It's really hard to choose."

Zhao Lei also had this idea. He didn't know which one to choose between these two excellent female artists, Sister Qian and Sister Shiyi. Although Brother Yu's peach blossom is good, it is still unknown what choice he will make when they really want to be together.

He joked with Wang Jiachao, "That will give Brother Yu a headache."

At this moment on CCTV, Zhou Yu’s second song performance has already begun.

He stood on the stage holding a microphone, the music slowly started playing, and after a roar of running cars, the attention of the audience on site and online was instantly attracted.

“Is this… a song about cars?”

"The roar of this car is so exciting. I can already imagine myself driving a sports car on an empty road, haha!"

"You know what, this prelude is really exciting. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"This is the second song of the night. As expected of Zhou Yu, he brings two new songs to this New Year's Eve party."

"Yeah, the other guests either sang covers of other people's songs or sang their own old songs. It's really rare to see someone like Zhou Yu directly bring two new songs."

……

For New Year's Eve parties or other evening events like this, there are very few guests who bring new songs. They either cover other people's popular songs or sing their own old songs. Singing new songs is too energy-consuming. Only singers like Zhou Yu, who seem to be able to write a high-quality new song at any time, will bring new songs again and again.

And when they were sung, they were two new songs.

Lin Jiajia's eyes lit up slightly as she watched Zhou Yu singing the second new song.

"All the way north……"

This song doesn't sound like it has much to do with a love song, but judging from the prelude, it seems pretty good.

Song title: All the way north

Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

Lin Jiajia felt that judging from the title of the song, this song might be related to cars that boys like, or it might be a song about freedom.

On the stage, Zhou Yu also spoke slowly.

"The World in the Rearview Mirror
Farewell is getting farther and farther

You turn around and your profile is still beautiful

I followed you with my eyes and heard your tears..."

The second song that Zhou Yu brought to CCTV is "All the Way North", which is composed and sung by Jay Chou, with lyrics by Fang Wenshan and music arranged by Cai Kejun. This song is an interlude in the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou. It was released in 2005 and later included in Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November".

This song is an interlude composed by Jay Chou for the movie, and it is also the second interlude composed by Jay Chou for a movie after "Broken Strings". This song has also become one of Jay Chou's many classic hits, and it is still enduring even after so many years.

"Wandering outside the car window
It's my missed opportunity

There are tears between you and me

The street scene keeps receding
Your collapse is in pieces outside the window..."

Lin Jiajia's eyes lit up when she heard this song. She thought Zhou Yu wrote this song for boys who like cars, not a traditional love song. But after listening to this song, she realized that she was wrong. Zhou Yu's songs like to use some things to metaphorically represent love.

This song "All the Way North" is like this, it is a typical lyrical rock song, the prelude has a beautiful tone, and the whole song has a touch of sadness. Just listening to it, everyone can't help but think of the male protagonist driving a car while crying, and thinking of all kinds of scenes with that girl...

"I headed north to leave the season with you

You said you were so tired that you couldn't fall in love with anyone anymore
The wind blows on the mountain road

The past scenes were all my fault

I am ashamed to count the times I have hurt you..."

Lin Jiajia listened to Zhou Yu's song "All the Way North", which is one of those songs that gets more interesting the more you listen to it. The melody of the whole song changes a lot, which requires a very high singing skill of the singer, who needs to constantly switch between high and low notes. At the same time, he needs to keep his breath stable and his pitch accurate. Especially in the chorus, Zhou Yu's continuous voice change and breath pitch are very good.

It can be said that the basic skills required of a singer are quite high. Even if some ordinary singers are asked to sing, they may not be able to sing well.

Zhou Yu's low and mournful voice, coupled with the smooth and lyrical melody, seemed to make everyone feel the male protagonist's reluctance and attachment to his girlfriend.

Especially in the climax of the song, Zhou Yu sang his determination and strength towards his girlfriend with a higher range and stronger power. The chorus uses a more passionate but infectious melody. Accompanied by instruments such as drums, bass, and electric guitar, it fully demonstrates the determination and pain of separation.

Lin Jiajia couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Zhou Yu's singing: "Especially in the chorus, there is a special thing, that is, at the end of each sentence, there is a short and prominent harmony, which adds a sense of layering and richness to the song, and also highlights the style and atmosphere of the song..."

"I headed north to leave the season with you

You said you were so tired that you couldn't fall in love with anyone anymore
The wind blows on the mountain road

The past scenes were all my fault

I am ashamed to count the times I hurt you

I head north to leave the season with you

My regrets are spinning around the steering wheel
I speed up and surpass

But I can't shake off the sadness that follows me closely

I am ashamed to count the times I hurt you

Stop being embarrassed and let the mistakes be pure..."

After the first song ended, Zhou Yu also finished singing his second song, and the whole audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu!"

The next moment, the glow sticks at the scene suddenly turned red. In just a few seconds, the scene was a sea of ​​red, and in the middle, there were a few obvious large words.

"Zhou Yu! We will always support you!"

Five seconds of red sea!

It surprised Zhou Yu for a moment, and also amazed all the audience watching the show!
