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

Chapter 317 Love in BC

At noon on September 1st, the second song of Zhou Yu’s second album, which everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, was finally released today.

Since Zhou Yu officially announced last month that he would release his second album on September 1st, many fans have been looking forward to this day. After all, this is the first time Zhou Yu has released a new work in several months, and it is his second album.

It has been almost a year since Zhou Yu released his last album. Although Zhou Yu has released many singles in the meantime, his fans are still looking forward to his new album.

Now, the first song of Zhou Yu's second new album was released at 12 noon today, and many fans listened to the song as soon as possible. In addition, on major social platforms, the news of Zhou Yu's new album's first song being released also directly dominated the hot search list.

"The first song from Zhou Yu's new album is online!"

"Zhou Yu's new album is released!"

"Zhou Yu's second new album!"

……

Entries like this are high on the hot search list, and even ranked directly into the top five of the hot search list. The first place is also occupied by the hot search for the first song of Zhou Yu’s new album today.

As for Lin Jiajia, she has been looking forward to Zhou Yu's new album since it was officially announced last month. Today at noon, she had lunch and waited for the first song of Zhou Yu's new album to be released, and then listened to it as soon as possible.

As a loyal fan of Zhou Yu, Lin Jiajia is looking forward to Zhou Yu's new album. After all, this is Zhou Yu's second album after nearly a year. Looking back to when Zhou Yu released his first album last year, he had just debuted and no one was optimistic about him.

Even at that time, Zhou Yu offended the three giants Huatian, Xingguang and Taochang when he was on "Son of Idol". When he debuted and released his first album, he faced Shen Guangyan, a superstar singer from Huatian.

At that time, everyone thought that Zhou Yu would lose miserably and die young.

As a result, he overcame all obstacles and became the number one in the Chinese music scene!
As a fan, Lin Jiajia feels excited and passionate when recalling Zhou Yu's experience.

In addition, Zhou Yu's movie has set a domestic box office record. The better Zhou Yu is, the more proud Lin Jiajia feels. When she watched "Singer" at the beginning, she had a close contact with Zhou Yu. He is really handsome and gentle. She still has the photo taken with him.

"Let me take a look at the first song of this new album..."

Lin Jiajia looked at the time that was just 12:05, threw the takeaway box into the trash can, and immediately clicked on Penguin Music. As soon as she clicked in, the big recommendation was Zhou Yu's new album recommendation. After clicking it, the page jumped and she came directly to Zhou Yu's new album page.

There is only one song online now, which is today's first release.

"Love before the Christian era..."

Looking at the name of Zhou Yu's first song, Lin Jiajia probably knew the type of the first song in this new album.

"It looks like a love song."

Zhou Yu's love songs, no, that's not right, I should say Zhou Yu's various songs, have never disappointed everyone. The first song of Zhou Yu's new album is called "Love in BC". Looking at this song title, there is a sense of Western classical culture in it.

“Is this another collision of Chinese and Western music?”

Zhou Yu had previously created songs that were a collision and fusion of Chinese and Western music. When Lin Jiajia saw the song "Love in BC", she also felt that this was a possibility.

After clicking play, an ethereal prelude with a sense of ancient times sounded in Lin Jiajia's ears.

Just by hearing this prelude, Lin Jiajia felt attracted, as if she had traveled through time and space, and the feeling of ancient times came to her face.

"Interesting."

Be patient and continue listening.

"Song title: Love in BC

Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

As the prelude ended, Zhou Yu's singing sounded in Lin Jiajia's ears.

"The king of Babylon issued a

Code of Hammurabi
carved in black basalt
It has been more than 3,700 years since now..."

When Lin Jiajia heard the first half of the song, her eyes lit up. Zhou Yu had borrowed stories from Western classical culture to write this song. She knew that Zhou Yu liked to quote classics in many of his songs, and this song "Love in BC" was no exception.

"You are in front of the window
Staring at the words of the inscription

I just stood by and watched
Your face that I love so much..."

The first half of the poem, citing allusions, seems to have nothing to do with love. But the latter part instantly shifts the focus and brings up topics related to love.

This is a trick that Zhou Yu used, and the same was true for his previous "Lanting Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain".

In the entire entertainment industry, Zhou Yu is the best at this kind of song writing technique, and he uses objects to express emotions very well.

"Priest Temple Battle

Whose bow and arrow belonged to?

Like to be in the crowd
You belong only to me

Passing by the Sumerian goddess
I make a wish in the name of the goddess
Thoughts spread like the Tigris River
When only incomprehensible languages ​​remain of ancient civilizations
The legend has become an immortal poem..."

Zhou Yu's singing is as beautiful as ever. He introduces the background of the story in a deep voice at the beginning, and then immediately goes into the lyrical part. This song has a classical historical atmosphere, and the love seems to have become sacred.

The first song of Zhou Yu's new album, "Love in BC", is sung by Jay Chou, composed by Jay Chou, written by Vincent Fang, and arranged by Michael Lin. It is included in Jay Chou's album "Fantasy" released in 2001 and is also the fourth song of this album.

This song was created by Jay Chou after visiting a museum. The story is based on the story of King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon and his wife. According to legend, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by him for his wife. The so-called stone tablets are because the records of Babylonian civilization at that time were all written on stone tablets with cuneiform characters, so when reading the documents of that time, only the stone tablets can be seen.

Some also say that this song is about a boy who wrote a love letter to his beloved girl, but because of the misalignment of time and space, it could not be delivered and could only be discovered by humans thousands of years later. No matter what it is, this song is beautiful and moving.

"The love I gave you was in BC
Buried deep in Mesopotamia

Decades later, it was discovered
The writing on the clay tablet is still clearly visible
My love for you is written in B.C.
Buried deep in Mesopotamia

Forever carved in cuneiform
The oath that has been weathered for thousands of years
Everything happened again..."

The more Lin Jiajia listened to Zhou Yu's song, the more she felt it, and the song gradually came to an end.

“I feel very tired and far from home.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to come back to you
The love I gave you before Christ

Buried deep in the plains of Mesopotamia..."

The chorus was repeated next. When Zhou Yu sang the last two lines of the lyrics, Lin Jiajia knew that the song was about to end.

"Love in BC
Love before the Christian era..."

The last two sentences are like a lyric, but also like a summary of the whole song, just like the title of the song, Love in BC...

After listening to the first song of Zhou Yu's new album, Lin Jiajia was also a little excited and happy. After so long, Zhou Yu finally released a new album, and the quality of this first song was not low, and it was still as stable as before.

Lin Jiajia knew that Zhou Yu quoted allusions throughout the song, which made the song full of a sense of historical weight and fate. It also had a sense of time, and Zhou Yu's singing gave the song a unique charm that could attract the audience's ears.

The key is that Zhou Yu's interpretation is also a highlight of this song. Zhou Yu expresses the emotions of this song vividly and shockingly with his unique voice and singing style. His voice has a mysterious and ancient feeling, like a person from ancient times, making people feel his history and legend. His singing style also has an innovative and avant-garde feeling, like a person from the future era, making people feel his culture and trend. He used a lot of changes and techniques in the song, such as using low rap to introduce the background story at the beginning, using high-pitched singing to express love beliefs in the chorus, and using tragic music to match the death scene at the end. These changes and techniques have increased the atmosphere and impact of the song, and also demonstrated Zhou Yu's control and communication of the emotions of the song.

Zhou Yu's interpretation of this song also has a sense of beauty that transcends time and space. He did not use too many modifications and decorations, too many emotions and expressions, too many movements and body language, but sang this song in the simplest, most direct, most real and most natural way. He did not deliberately imitate or adapt to any era or culture, nor did he deliberately cater to or resist any audience or market. He sang this song in the purest, most sincere, most honest and most straightforward attitude. He did not regard this song as a commercial work or entertainment product, but as a personal work or spiritual sustenance. He did not regard this song as a tool to show himself or attract others, but as a way to express himself or release himself.

In short, Zhou Yu's interpretation of the song "Love in BC" is a very personalized, artistic, emotional, sincere, natural and Zhou Yu-like interpretation. He interprets the song vividly and shockingly with his unique style and charm.

Lin Jiajia was really shocked. Zhou Yu's grasp of songs is getting better and better. From now on, she is looking forward to the songs in Zhou Yu's new album that will be released soon.

“I wonder what songs will be coming up next.”

Lin Jiajia now can't wait to listen to Zhou Yu's next new song. Her appetite has been aroused and it is really hard to suppress it.

But there is no other way, we can only wait for the subsequent songs of Zhou Yu’s new album to be released.

At this moment, other people had also finished listening to Zhou Yu's new song "Love in BC". Without a doubt, they were all amazed by this song.

"Zhou Yu's new song Love is in BC!"

"Love sounds good before the Christian era!"

"Zhou Yu is as steady as ever!"

"Please release Zhou Yu's subsequent songs soon!"

……

Today's hot searches are basically dominated by Zhou Yu. There is no way, because Zhou Yu has a lot of traffic now, and it happens to be the time when he releases a new album, it would be strange if he didn't dominate the hot searches.

After listening to Zhou Yu's new song, many people thought it was nice. Many fans online also had heated discussions about it. Many people even began to urge Zhou Yu to release the subsequent songs from the new album as soon as possible.

"Have you listened to Zhou Yu's new song? It's great, so great!"

"Love in BC, so romantic, and Zhou Yu quoted allusions, the whole song is romantic and has a sense of time, it's really amazing."

"Zhou Yu is very good at writing this kind of love songs. And haven't you noticed? Zhou Yu's love songs are different from those other love songs that are all about love and affection."

"I also discovered that Zhou Yu's love songs are more romantic and poetic, and he is very good at using allusions or other things as metaphors, which is really amazing!"

"Please, Zhou Yu, please release all the songs that follow. I have plenty of money, I'll buy them all!"

"Ahhh! My husband's new song is so good. I've been playing it on repeat for a long time!"

"Hurry up and release new songs for me. Put all the subsequent songs of the new album online for me. I have no shortage of money!"

……

Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian had just finished listening to Zhou Yu's new song. They knew about Zhou Yu's new album, but they didn't know what songs were in it. After all, they were not there when Zhou Yu was recording the new album, and when they asked Zhou Yu, he said it was a secret and that they would be surprised when they listened to it.

As a result, they both only just knew the first song of Zhou Yu’s new album.

"Love before the Christian era..."

After listening to this song, both of them snorted coldly. This guy is very good at writing love songs, but he has never written a love song for them.

This guy has been doing this for such a long time, and there is no expression at all. Yang Qian thinks he is a freeloader.

"No, I have to find an opportunity to let this guy write a song for me too."

Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian both thought so in their hearts.

Today, other singers were crying, especially those who performed at the same time as Zhou Yu. Their songs were directly suppressed by Zhou Yu, who instantly topped the new song chart and became extremely popular on the Internet.

In contrast, other singers were just Zhou Yu's foils. Even though they spent a lot of resources to promote their new songs, they were completely overshadowed by Zhou Yu.

Even the new song by the singer ranked second on the new song list seemed to have no discussion at all, as everyone's attention was attracted by Zhou Yu.

"Ah, I knew this would be the case when I met the devil Zhou Yu."
