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

Chapter 278 Old Boy

Zhang Junjie originally thought that Zhou Yu would not release any new songs, which made him feel disappointed. However, after seeing the message Zhou Yu sent him, it clearly said "Teacher Zhang, new songs will continue at noon."

It was just such a simple sentence, but this guy didn't even tell him before. But it was also his fault, because he didn't think of asking Zhou Yu about his new song.

After seeing this news, Zhang Junjie, the king of heaven, also showed a smile on his face. There was relief, expectation, and satisfaction...

In the first song last week, the winner has not yet been decided with Zhou Yu. This makes Zhang Junjie feel very excited, and he really wants to see what the result of the competition between him and Zhou Yu will be.

Now that he knows that Zhou Yu is also going to release a new song, King Zhang Junjie is naturally happy.

"This kid has kept it a secret from me for so long."

Although they are rivals now, there is no hostility between them. It is a feeling of mutual appreciation and regret that they met too late.

Especially after Zhang Junjie had been in contact with Zhou Yu for a while, he found that this young man was not only talented and capable, but also very good in dealing with people. What he valued most was Zhou Yu's unique insights into music.

In him, Zhang Junjie truly sees the future and hope of the Chinese music scene.

“I wonder what kind of song Xiao Zhou’s new song that will be released at noon is.”

Last week, he and Zhou Yu both released a modern pop love song. This time, Zhang Junjie also wondered if the two people's song types would collide again?
"It shouldn't be such a coincidence."

If it really is another new song of the same type, he can only say that the two of them are really destined to be together, it's such a coincidence.

While the internet was in chaos, with marketing accounts and those who were being led to criticize and belittle Zhou Yu, at half past ten, Zhou Yu's Weibo and his company's official Weibo posted a message.

"At 12 noon, the new song will continue, let's look forward to it together."

Below is a photo of Zhou Yu taking a break and listening to music on the set. His face is not shown, only his back is revealed. But this back alone is enough to drive countless fans crazy/
"Ahh! My husband is so handsome, even his back is so handsome!"

"New song! New song! There actually is a new song!"

"Haha, I said there couldn't be no new songs. Some people jumped so high, barking like a dog too early."

"That's right, so many people showed up early in the morning to stir up trouble for my husband. It's obvious that someone is behind this. Haha, they resort to these dirty tricks just because they can't beat my husband. It's really disgusting."

"That's right, you've been leading the trend. I'm really impressed. If you have the ability, come up with a new song yourself."

……

Those haters had been madly slandering their idol before, and now it was finally Zhou Yu's fans' turn to fight back. And all of a sudden, when the news that Zhou Yu's new song would be released at noon came out, those entertainment companies and some artists who were behind the scenes were also confused.

What the hell is going on?!

Why didn’t you tell us earlier that you had a new song? Why did you have to wait until more than an hour before officially announcing the news?

Zhou Yu is such a bad guy. He made them look like fools.

Which artist wouldn’t make an official announcement in advance before releasing a new song? Why wait until less than two hours before it is about to be released before making an official announcement?

Really served!

As soon as Zhou Yu released the news, his few friends in the circle also began to help him forward and promote it. Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi, teacher Chen Mo, director Jiang Dan, director Chen and director Hong Tao all helped to forward the Weibo to promote Zhou Yu's new song that was about to be released.

Penguin Music was also not idle. They had been cooperating more and more with Zhou Yu and had known that Zhou Yu had a new song. They just didn't announce it to promote it. Now that Zhou Yu had announced it, they were not idle either and started promoting it immediately.

Although the time was relatively short, everyone was paying attention to the movements of Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie because of the competition between them.

Moreover, Zhou Yu’s behavior of announcing the new song only when it was close to the release date also shocked everyone. In addition, the marketing accounts that led the trend in the morning undoubtedly helped Zhou Yu to increase the popularity of the new song.

Less than 20 minutes later, the news that Zhou Yu's new song was released at noon directly topped the trending search list. There were even several trending searches related to Zhou Yu's new song and himself.

"Zhou Yu officially announced a new song!"

"Zhou Yu's new song will be online at 12 noon!"

"Zhou Yu really has a new song!"

"The battle between the two gods continues!"

……

Ning Wanqiu originally thought that Zhou Yu’s official announcement was too late, and wondered if she should buy some hot searches. However, she still underestimated Zhou Yu’s current popularity and influence. While other artists were still buying hot searches to increase exposure and traffic, Zhou Yu had never bought a single hot search since his debut.

It was completely based on his ability. It can even be said that with Zhou Yu's current popularity and influence, he is the first in China by a huge margin. Moreover, Zhou Yu's popularity and influence in the countries surrounding China are also increasing. It will be no problem for him to go international in the future.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Yu is a superstar in Oriental State now. He has a great influence in Oriental State.

After hearing this news, Lin Jiajia was waiting for noon at home. At around 11 o'clock, she ordered takeout for lunch. He was bored and scrolling through his phone. For the first time, he felt that this hour passed so slowly.

"coming!"

When twelve o'clock came, Lin Jiajia immediately opened Penguin Music, and the new song recommendation page of Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie was already there. Clicking on their personal recommendation page, they could see their new singles that were released today.

"Hmm...who should I listen to first?"

Lin Jiajia rubbed her hands. She liked the songs of both Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie, but now, their new songs were released at the same time, so she didn't know who to listen to first.

"Forget it, let's listen to Zhang Junjie's new song first."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Jiajia chose Zhang Junjie's new song without hesitation because she thought the one she listened to last was the best.

"I'm still waiting for you..."

When Lin Jiajia saw the title of Zhang Junjie’s new song, she knew that this was the type of love song he was best at.

After clicking play, Lin Jiajia heard the sound of rain. This natural sound at the beginning was very charming.

Listening to the sound of the pattering rain, it seems to calm people down all of a sudden. This sound of rain only lasts for a few seconds, followed by the prelude melody, mainly violin, combined with the pattering rain, instantly creating a sad atmosphere.

The prelude of almost 30 seconds does not give people a feeling of being too long. Instead, it allows people to listen to the prelude quietly and slowly calm down. The combination of the sound of raindrops and the sound of the violin makes people feel sad for some reason.

When Lin Jiajia listened to Zhang Junjie's song, her eyes lit up instantly.

Zhang Junjie's new song "I'm Still Waiting for You" is just like the previous one. Just listening to the prelude is particularly attractive. This is a unique feature of singer-songwriters like him and Zhou Yu. It is difficult to have this feeling in other people's songs.

This is also because Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie are very good at music.

After the prelude, Zhang Junjie began to sing with deep emotion.

This song is still the type of love song he is best at, and it is still so beautiful. The sadness created by the prelude, coupled with Zhang Junjie's vicissitudes of life, makes this song more appealing.

And this song is not only good in terms of melody. When Lin Jiajia was listening to it and looking at the lyrics, she felt that Zhang Junjie also wrote the lyrics of this song very catchy.

Although this song "I'm Still Waiting for You" is a modern pop love song like the previous one, and even belongs to the category of sad songs. But the expression of emotions is a little different. The previous song expressed regret, but this song expresses the waiting and waiting of a lover. In the sadness, there is a little sweetness, which makes the whole song sound different.

"As expected of Zhang Junjie, the King of Pop, it seems that none of the three new singles he prepared this time are simple."

Lin Jiajia likes it very much. She thinks both this new song and the new song released last week are good. And from the quality of Zhang Junjie's songs, it can be seen that he put a lot of effort into releasing three new singles, and it was not just a perfunctory effort.

"Is Zhou Yu also singing a love song this time?"

After listening to Zhang Junjie’s new song, Lin Jiajia went to the page that recommended Zhou Yu’s new song, and after jumping, she saw Zhou Yu’s new song.

"Old boy? It doesn't look like a love song."

Looking at the title of Zhou Yu's song, called "Old Boy", analyzing from the title, Lin Jiajia felt that this would not be a song about love.

But this made her even more curious about Zhou Yu's new song, which had kept everyone waiting for so long. It was not officially announced until more than an hour before the release, so she was very curious about the quality of the song.

Moreover, she had listened to so many of Zhou Yu's songs and had been a fan of Zhou Yu for so long that she knew Zhou Yu's personality very well. Sometimes, the weirder the title of Zhou Yu's songs, the better the songs were.

"old boys……"

Lin Jiajia silently recited this strange song title again, thinking to herself, was this song written by Zhou Yu for a boy?
But why call him old boy?

This made Lin Jiajia a little confused, and out of curiosity, she clicked on Zhou Yu's new song.

The moment the guitar melody sounded in Lin Jiajia's ears, she unconsciously turned up the volume.

Song title: Old Boy

Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

Lin Jiajia listened to the prelude of "Old Boy". It was not complicated, and the melody was simple, mainly based on guitar. But she knew that Zhou Yu's songs like this were usually the most touching.

For example, the previous song "Sunny Day" has simple lyrics and music, but it is exceptionally nice to listen to and extremely popular.

She listened patiently. Even though the prelude was just a simple guitar-based melody, it was filled with a faint sadness.

"That's the person I miss and love deeply day and night.

How should I express it?
will she accept me
Maybe I will never say that to her.

I'm destined to wander the world
How can I be concerned..."

When Zhou Yu's voice sounded, Lin Jiajia's eyes lit up. Zhou Yu's deep voice seemed to be telling a story. And looking at the lyrics, Lin Jiajia was also a little confused.

"Did I guess wrong? This is also a love song?" The lyrics are all about "her", which made Lin Jiajia a little confused. The title of the song is obviously not related to love, so why is the lyrics still related to love?

"Dreams are always out of reach
Should you give up

Another season of flowers blooming and falling

Spring, where are you..."

When Lin Jiajia heard these lyrics, she instantly understood that this song was indeed not a love song. The first half was just using love to refer to something.

"Zhou Yu's song is about dreams."

Lin Jiajia understood what Zhou Yu wanted to express. Love is just a metaphor, using love to express the boy's dreams and the hardships of reality.

“Youth is like a flowing river
I can't say goodbye if I don't come back
I am left numb and no longer have the passion I once had.
Look at the scattered flowers

wither at the most beautiful moment

Who will remember that she has been in this world..."

Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy" is a song sung by Chopstick Brothers. This song is also adapted from the song "Thank You" by Takuya Ohashi, and is also the theme song of the movie "Old Boy". It was released on October 2010, 10, and was later included in the album "Father" released by Chopstick Brothers.

The background of the creation of this song is that in 2009, the famous singer Michael Jackson passed away. As fans, Xiao Yang and Wang Taili thought that they could not remain numb and had to do something. So Wang Taili found the song "Thank You" by Japanese singer Takuya Ohashi and wrote Chinese lyrics to adapt the song.

After polishing it for a month, Wang Taili created the song on the bus on his way to work.

This song became a huge hit when it was released that year and is also a very representative song of Chopstick Brothers.

This song is also a reflection of Wang Taili's inner feelings when he was unknown. He thought that his dream was so far away and he didn't know when it would come true, so he wrote the lyrics while crying. The singing of the two of them also created this classic song.

Lin Jiajia fell into deep thought while listening to this song. The song was a bit heavy, and she finally understood why the song was called "Old Boy".

This is a song for those men who have been struggling for many years and lost their way, for those who are confused, and for those who are forging ahead...

Zhou Yu's lyrics are like this, describing men's experiences and emotions in a more moving way.

Even though Lin Jiajia is a girl, she was quite emotional when she listened to this song. Especially the line "Youth is like a rushing river, it goes away and never comes back, and there is no time to say goodbye" is really touching!
"In the blink of an eye, many years have passed. How many separations and reunions, sorrows and joys have there been in

The young man who once had ambitions to travel far and wide envied the geese flying south
The figures rushing to their own futures are gradually moving away
Where is the ordinary future? Who can give me the answer..."

Zhou Yu's singing voice does not have the kind of ups and downs, as if it is a trickling stream, telling a story. The melody and lyrics are very simple, without those flashy lyrics. But this simple and plain lyrics and music seem to describe the image of an "old boy" who is old but helpless under the pressure of life.

The sentence "Where is the ordinary future" was like a sharp knife, making Lin Jiajia's heart tremble.

Zhou Yu's song is another realistic song. This type of song is difficult, but if it is well written and sung, it can be more touching than other types of songs.

"My friends who accompanied me at that time, where are you now?
What does the person I once loved look like now?

Did the original wish come true?

Do we have no choice but to pay tribute now?

Let the years dry up my ideals and I can never find the real me again..."

Zhou Yu's singing seemed to have some kind of magic, combined with the simple yet touching lyrics, which made Lin Jiajia feel emotional.

This song "Old Boy" is not about love, but about the countless people who are forced to put their dreams on hold or even give up in order to survive.

Life is full of helplessness and I don’t know how long my dreams from my youth have been hidden deep in my heart because of the reality of life.

"Life is like a ruthless knife
Changed our appearance

Will it wither before it blooms?

I had a dream..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiajia's eyes couldn't help but redden.

The helplessness in life, as time goes by, has changed not only our original passionate hearts, but also the appearance of countless of us.

But how many people can hold on to their original dreams, persist to the end, and realize their dreams? In life, many people slowly give up their dreams for the sake of life, just like this line of lyrics says, "Does it have to wither before it blooms? I had a dream."

Life is full of helplessness, sorrow and joy, and in the end you can only grit your teeth and persevere.

"Look up at the starry sky
The one that accompanied me at that time

Do you still remember the story here?

If there is a tomorrow, bless you dear..."

After the song ended, Lin Jiajia couldn't calm down for a long time after listening to Zhou Yu's "Old Boy". This is not a love song that everyone likes, but a song that tends to be realistic.

But such a realistic song is particularly touching, and Lin Jiajia felt quite emotional after listening to it.

"I feel that Zhou Yu's song is more powerful than Zhang Junjie's love song."

Love songs are popular and a common topic. However, although these realistic songs are difficult to make, a good one can touch people's hearts. Just like folk songs, although they are niche, when a high-quality song is released, it can reach a wide audience.

After all, although love is the most common topic, these realistic songs about life and dreams can make people feel more involved.

As for Zhang Junjie and his friends, he had just finished listening to Zhou Yu's new song "Old Boy".

After listening to this, Zhang Junjie and his agent were silent for a long time and neither of them said a word.

Neither of them spoke. After a long moment, Zhang Junjie put away his phone, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Xiao Zhou's song... is very good!"

The agent also felt a little emotional, and his eyes were a little red.

"It's really good!"

When Zhou Yu's song was released, they listened to it immediately. "Old Boy", although the title is strange, the song is very nice. The lyrics are very touching, and after listening to it, they understood why the song is called "Old Boy".

Zhang Junjie was very satisfied with Zhou Yu's song and liked it very much.

"Old boy... Old boy..."

Teacher Zhang Junjie also felt a little emotional, thinking about how many people were forced to give up their dreams in life.

"Xiao Zhou's song is really good!"

The agent also spoke up, and even in Zhang Junjie's heart, he had a hunch that Zhou Yu's song might really surpass his.

Many people were moved after listening to Zhou Yu's song on the Internet, especially those middle-aged men with rich experience, who also broke down in tears after listening to the song "Old Boy".

"Have you listened to Zhou Yu's song Old Boy? It's so good!"

"Wow, wow, wow, I'm a grown man, but I was moved to tears by Zhou Yu's song!"

"Huh! I really don't want to say anything more. I really like Zhou Yu's song Old Boy!"

"It's really nice to listen to, and the writing is so good. My tears are worthless!"

“Not much to say, highly recommended!”

……

All of a sudden, Zhou Yu's song became a hot topic.

"Zhou Yu's new song is online!"

"Zhou Yu's new song Old Boy!"

"Old Boy captures the sadness and helplessness of so many people!"

"Zhou Yu's new song sounds great!"

……

Teacher Chen Mo and others had just finished listening to Zhou Yu's new song. After listening to it, they were quite touched.

"This boy is really good at writing this kind of songs."

It's very touching, and the lyrics are written with great care. Chen Mo knows very well that he can't write such a song.

Many people are also discussing the second showdown between Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie on the Internet.

"I've listened to the new songs of Zhou Yu and Zhang Junjie, and I think they're both very nice."

"It's really nice. Zhang Junjie's love song is very touching, and Zhou Yu's Old Boy is also very touching. But if I really have to choose, I will choose Zhou Yu's Old Boy without hesitation."

"Really, I like both of their new songs, but this time, Zhou Yu's Old Boy kills me more, it's just so well written."

"Woo woo woo! Really, I think Zhou Yu is really going to win this time. The old boy's lethality is too strong. I haven't recovered yet."

"I also felt that it was difficult to choose last time, but this time, I really voted for the old boy!"
