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

What Lin Jiajia is most looking forward to now is Zhou Yu’s new song that will be released this weekend, which is also the finale song of his new album.

As the last song of Zhou Yu's new album, it can be said that it has raised everyone's expectations. After all, the quality of the songs in Zhou Yu's new album is very high, and it is not inferior to the songs he released before and the previous album.

Before, everyone thought that Zhou Yu was busy with film and television, and might have neglected music, or that he might have been perfunctory towards his fans in order to rush to finish this new album.

But now, nine songs from the new album have been released, and each one is so beautiful and popular on the Internet. Everyone knows that Zhou Yu put a lot of effort into this album. So this Sunday, the last song of Zhou Yu's new album will be released, and everyone is looking forward to it.

However, the most heatedly discussed topic online is Zhou Yu's performance at CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala tonight. Zhou Yu's performance has ended, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is almost over. The video clip of Zhou Yu's performance at the gala has gone viral online.

"Zhou Yu CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!"

"Zhou Yu's new song for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!"

"Zhou Yu's new song: Watch the moon rise!"

"Mandy Man's new song wishes you a long life!"

"Zhou Yu wrote another new song for Wen Shiyi!"

……

Entries like this were highly searched, especially those related to Zhou Yu, and the data exploded. The one with the highest data was a clip of Zhou Yu's performance at CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala tonight.

A video of only a few minutes was forwarded and liked crazily by everyone on the Internet, and the data continued to soar.

"Oh my god! After such a long time, I finally see Zhou Yu out for business again!"

"Yeah, the last time I saw Zhou Yu, he was promoting movies and performing on stage. It's been a long time since I last saw him."

"Alas, it seems that Zhou Yu wants to slowly retreat behind the scenes. He is now either filming or directing. Although his career is getting better and better, we see him less and less."

"Yeah, after this time, I don't know how long it will take before I can see Zhou Yu again."

"Ahhh! Zhou Yu actually has two songs tonight, one for Wen Shiyi and one for himself. Both are great!"

……

Everyone in the circle was also checking out tonight's hot searches. On all the major social platforms, most of the hot searches tonight were related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. But among them, Zhou Yu accounted for more than half of the most popular searches.

Even on the short video platform, clips of Zhou Yu's performance at tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala were edited by bloggers and were wildly forwarded and liked on the short video platform, with the popularity skyrocketing!
Seeing this scene, many artists and celebrities in the circle sighed and expressed emotion.

Zhou Yu hadn't been out for a long time, and he hadn't performed on stage for several months. But this time, when he performed on stage, the whole network went wild, with Zhou Yu's related hot searches and videos flooding the screen.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yu is very popular and influential nowadays, but no one expected that even though he has been out of business for such a long time, his popularity is still so terrifying!
"This guy is a monster!"

Many people in the industry are sighing that since Zhou Yu suddenly appeared in the entertainment industry last year, he seems to have monopolized the entertainment industry. Whether it is popularity or influence, Zhou Yu is leading by a cliff. As for those resources, haha, all kinds of top resources are begging to cooperate with Zhou Yu. Those that Zhou Yu doesn't want are given to the artists of his own company. Then, after his company has selected them, those that he doesn't want can be given to other artists' companies.

There is no other way. Zhou Yu has both traffic and strength. The key is that the artists under his company are not just for show, they are all very good, so it is natural for them to get these.

But other artists still felt envious when they saw this.

As for Zhou Yu, after the party, he didn't even stay for a moment and flew directly back to the crew. He wasted a day today and had to go back to film early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if the crew stopped working for a day, it would delay the filming progress and waste money.

It is now the end of September, and the filming progress of the entire drama has been completed for more than half. Zhou Yu is quite satisfied with the filming results. When the first part is finished, the actors of the second part will be notified to join the crew. Both dramas must be completed by the end of this year.

Soon it was Sunday, which was also the day when the last song of Zhou Yu’s new album was released.

Lin Jiajia was already waiting impatiently in front of the computer. As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, she would immediately listen to the last song of Zhou Yu's new album.

Now, although the last song of Zhou Yu’s new album has not yet been released, many people have been discussing the last song of Zhou Yu’s new album on the Internet early this morning.

"What kind of song do you think will be the last song of Zhou Yu's new album?"

"Love songs? Or rap? Or folk songs or traditional Chinese songs?"

"I'm not sure either. Zhou Yu is good at so many different styles of music that I can't even guess."

"Indeed, instead of guessing here, it's better to wait until twelve o'clock and find out."

"Ah? This is already the last song of the new album. Sigh, after this, I don't know how long it will take before I can hear Zhou Yu's new song."

"Yes, Zhou Yu's current work focus is on film and television. I don't know how long I have to wait after the new album is released."

……

Everyone was looking forward to it, but also a little reluctant. They wanted to hear the song that Zhou Yu released at noon today, but they were also a little reluctant. After all, after listening to it, all the songs in Zhou Yu's new album would be released. If they wanted to hear Zhou Yu's new songs again, they didn't know how long they would have to wait.

So everyone is a little conflicted inside, wanting to listen, but not wanting to listen.

And finally, at twelve noon, the last song of Zhou Yu's new album arrived as promised.

Of course, it's not just Zhou Yu who has new songs online today. Songs from Hu Weiwei and Lin Yi's new albums are also online today. Today is the time when all the songs from Zhou Yu's new album are online, but it's not the time when Hu Weiwei and Lin Yi's new albums are finished. Their new albums will have to wait until next week.

When Lin Jiajia saw that the time had reached twelve o'clock, she immediately opened Penguin Music and clicked on Zhou Yu's new song page.

Looking at the last song of Zhou Yu’s new album released today, Lin Jiajia’s expression trembled.

"This song title... Zhou Yu is so awesome!"

As for the title of this song, Lin Jiajia dares to say that no one else in the circle dares to come up with such a song title.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Lin Jiajia couldn't wait to click play.

"Song title: The Greatest Work

Singer: Zhou Yu Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu..."

It wasn't just Lin Jiajia. When other fans saw the title of the last song in Zhou Yu's new album, their hearts trembled.

The greatest work!
Just the name alone makes one feel excited.

The finale song of Zhou Yu’s new album is called "The Greatest Work". Just the title of the song has already made countless netizens start to associate it with something.

Does Zhou Yu think that this song is his greatest work?

Or is it just a song title?

But no one would have thought that the title of Zhou Yu's song would be an ordinary song title. Because among Zhou Yu's songs, the title of each song seems to have a specific meaning.

Even many people in the circle who were paying attention to Zhou Yu's new album were shocked when they saw the title of the last song in Zhou Yu's new album. At the same time, an idea popped up in their minds.

How dare Zhou Yu!

The greatest work, is this his self-affirmation of himself or his work?

But even if you, Zhou Yu, are great, it is not right to give this song a title. No one dares to say that his work is the greatest work, not even you, Zhou Yu.

But the fact is that Zhou Yu seems to be the number one in the Chinese music scene now. All of his works are hits on the Internet without exception and are deeply loved by everyone. The key is that the songs Zhou Yu created are unique in lyrics and music. Many of them have been praised by official media, and some have even been selected into university textbooks.

Doesn’t this explain something?

"Haha, the greatest work, it really makes you look good. I want to see what's so good about your song."

Some people in the circle were dissatisfied, thinking that Zhou Yu was arrogant and self-flattering. But more people were jealous and lacked confidence.

Lin Jiajia had already clicked on the song. When the fast-paced prelude sounded in her ears, Lin Jiajia's expression trembled.

"Is this... a rap song?"

She was a little unsure, so she listened carefully again and confirmed that the rhythm was indeed not like a slow lyrical song, but more like Zhou Yu's rap style song.

Sure enough, the moment the prelude ended, Zhou Yu's singing voice rang in Lin Jiajia's ears, confirming her own guess that this was a rap song.

"Brother is wearing a retro suit
Playing magic music with a cane
Strolling in Samaritan
Time renewed by the years
Empire without borders
A throne made of musical notes
I use the piano keys to travel through the immortality that was missed in 1920..."

Lin Jiajia was listening to Zhou Yu's singing of "The Greatest Work" and reading the lyrics, and her breathing became a little rapid.

She herself had not expected that there would be a rap song in Zhou Yu's new album. He had already released one before, but she did not expect that the final song would also be a rap song.

The key is that this song seems to have a deeper meaning and seems even crazier!
Just like the phrase "a throne built with musical notes", she seemed to see Zhou Yu who reached the top of the Chinese music scene with music.

"Did Zhou Yu write this song for himself?"

Lin Jiajia suddenly had this thought in her mind: this song is very wild, but it is not like Zhou Yu's low-key style. But looking at the lyrics, every word is related to Zhou Yu.

"Ah, paranoia is that Magritte
The apple I transformed

Surreal is me
Or the clown he originally wanted to draw
A pipe that is not a pipe

The dove on my face didn’t fly away…”

Lin Jiajia listened to the lyrics and looked at the name of the person that appeared in the lyrics. If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be a great artist from abroad.

The song is called "The Greatest Works". Is it because the lyrics mention the works of these artists, rather than Zhou Yu's own works?

"Wandering is the most free and unrestrained ink painting in secular paintings

Huadu’s elegant legs are a touch of the universe

The nostalgia that has crossed the ocean is planted in the tenderness of having nothing
Only lonely branches can grow the flowers that Chang Yu wants..."

The song "The Greatest Work" brought by Zhou Yu this time is sung by Jay Chou, composed by Jay Chou himself, and written by Huang Junlang and Xie Di. It is included in Jay Chou's album of the same name "The Greatest Work" released on July 2022, 7.

Jay Chou's childhood memories include his mother painting while he played the piano. His mother also told him many stories about artists. Combining art such as painting and literature with music is a theme that Jay Chou wants to create recently, so he created the song "The Greatest Work". When creating the lyrics of the song, Huang Junlang and Xie Di wrote many clever ideas in the lyrics. The whole lyrics are very sophisticated to connect the spirit of the artist and his work through the "time traveler". Chen Rui was specially invited to play the violin melody to combine classical and popular music.

Jay Chou also said that the idea of ​​the song was conceived several years ago, and the lyrics were written after the MV was shot. In addition to Xie Di's idea for the lyrics, Huang Junlang discussed the lyrics with Jay Chou many times. Jay Chou, who demands perfection, even asked Huang Junlang to come to his house to discuss the lyrics. When he was tired, he would sleep at his house and continue the discussion the next day after waking up. When Jay Chou was recording and singing, Huang Junlang was still in the recording studio to adjust the lyrics in response to the change in singing style. In order to fully reflect the retro style, Jay Chou even went to the Paris Opera House to record the vocals.

"The boat quietly goes back and forth

The coast of Matisse
night under the stars
Leave it to Van Gogh to ignite
Beautiful dreams are too short
Screaming on the Munch Bridge
The excitement in this world
Out of loneliness..."

After hearing this, Lin Jiajia felt that the title of Zhou Yu’s song "The Greatest Work" did not seem to refer to his works, but to the works of those artists mentioned in the song.

But she also felt that this song not only refers to the works of those artists, she felt that Zhou Yu was also metaphorically referring to his own feelings, he felt that his work was also the greatest work!

"Hmm? This piano piece sounds great too!"

When the first chorus ended, the piano section in the middle made Lin Jiajia feel bright. This piano section seemed to be played by two people, as if they were competing in playing the piano.

"The sunshine flowing in the garden
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers
I'm asking Monet for a favor

Can I take a self-portrait?
The master looks into the distance
Study the shapes of colors

Suddenly turned around and asked me to tell you
My impression of myself...” (End of this chapter)
