Chapter 231 The unknown person! (Two-in-one, please book in full)
Soon the day came for the recording of the new episode of "Singer".
Mango Channel, the recording site of the eighth episode of "Singer".
The seventh episode has already been broadcast, and the eighth episode will be online this Friday. The program must be recorded today, and we will work overtime to produce it before Friday. It’s already the eighth period, and the twelfth period will be the finals. It seems that it will be over in January.
Zhou Yu and the others were sitting in the lounge, with Wang Jiachao and Chen Mo sitting next to him. After becoming famous recently and his career is booming, Wang Jiachao's whole temperament has changed a lot, which can be really felt.
He himself was very lucky that he had made the decision to join Zhou Yu's company and became famous thanks to the song Zhou Yu gave him, and his career reached its peak again.
At the beginning, he felt in his heart that it was a bit embarrassing for him, a senior who was the Rookie King back then, to join the company of a junior like Zhou Yu. But now, he feels that his original decision was a wise one.
Without Zhou Yu, he would not have become famous and would not have been able to regain his current status.
Now Zhou Yu doesn't help him write songs, but he can stay on this stage by himself, which is one of the biggest reasons for his change of mentality.
Zhou Yu also knew that Wang Jiachao was a singer-songwriter himself, and he might have been too impatient before, wanting to become famous, and was not in good condition. The songs he wrote were a bit eager for success, and the quality was not very good. But now that he is back in form, he wants to write songs, and Zhou Yu doesn't interfere. At most, he can give some advice and guidance. Because he knows very well that a singer-songwriter cannot slack off. If you keep relying on others, your songwriting will definitely be affected in the future.
Liu Zifan sat next to Shen Guangyan and the others, still dressed like a rapper, wearing sunglasses and a cold expression.
Looking at Zhou Yu, he had an expectant but disdainful smile on his lips.
As long as Zhou Yu dares to challenge and use rap songs in this issue, he will take this opportunity to step on him. At that time, other companies will attack together and tear off Zhou Yu's skin.
"I wonder who the singer is this time?"
Teacher Chen Mo next to me is a little curious. There will be a singer in this period, but I don’t know who it is.
Zhou Yu and Wang Jiachao looked at each other. They already knew who the rapper in this issue was.
The next moment, the door to the lounge opened, and the sunny and handsome Zhao Lei walked in with a shy smile.
"Hello, teachers!"
He greeted the guests in the lounge humbly and respectfully. Seeing him, Shen Guangyan and the others were stunned for a moment.
Is this an artist from Zhou Yu's company?
The person who defeated Li Xingyu and defeated the top star of Starlight Entertainment?
Although Zhao Lei is not as popular as Zhou Yu, as an artist of Zhou Yu's company, he was promoted by Zhou Yu himself. Now he has half a foot into the ranks of second-tier singers. His reputation in the music world is not low, and everyone still knows it.
I just didn't expect that the singer invited by the program team for this episode would be him.
Now, there are four people from Zhou Yu's faction, and...
They looked at Zhao Lei, who was sitting next to Zhou Yu, and then at Zhou Yu.
Zhao Lei is coming to play in the club. If he wants to stay, Zhou Yu will definitely write a song for him.
In other words, Zhou Yu will bring two new songs in this issue.
Everyone knows Zhou Yu's ability. If he writes a new song for Zhao Lei, it will be a bit difficult for them this issue.
Everyone has seen Zhou Yu's ability to flatter people. Zhao Lei's debut album was tailor-made for him by Zhou Yu, and in one fell swoop he turned this little transparent person on the show into a rising star in the music world today. As soon as he debuted, he won the champion Li Xingyu who was highly favored by Starlight Entertainment, and Li Xingyu's commercial value was cut in half. Even now, a person like Li Xingyu who has won the championship resource package is not developing as well as Zhao Lei.
Not long ago, the out-of-date Wang Jiachao joined Zhou Yu's company, and Zhou Yu personally wrote a song for him, "Young and Promising". It immediately hit the internet and made Wang Jiachao famous, and his career reached a new peak.
This time, Zhao Lei was a kick-off singer, and everyone knew that Zhou Yu would never leave him alone.
In other words, in this issue, Zhao Lei will bring a new song composed for him by Zhou Yu himself. As a result, the pressure on others will be much greater.
Director Hong Tao watched everyone's reactions in front of the monitor and was quite satisfied. Inviting Zhao Lei to participate in the show as a kicking singer was also his decision after careful consideration. In the last issue, due to the request of the station, Liu Zifan, who had conflicts with Zhou Yu, was invited to come, and he did not tell Zhou Yu in advance. This time he returned a favor to Zhou Yu, and in the semi-finals, Zhao Lei served as Wang Jiachao's singing guest. After watching his performance, director Hong Tao had this idea.
Therefore, he seriously considered inviting Zhao Lei to be the kick-off singer this time.
Zhou Yu and Wang Jiachao also knew about it. After all, Zhou Yu was the boss and they both worked in the same company. It would be strange not to know. Moreover, Director Hong Tao told Zhou Yu about this matter after the last episode.
Zhou Yu thinks there is no problem, and Zhao Lei's career is on the rise now. If he can perform better in "Singer", he might be able to reach the second tier directly by relying on this show. Prepare a new album for him next year, and the first line will be stable.
Shen Guangyan looked at Zhou Yu and the others with twinkling eyes. Among the guests of "Singer", Zhou Yu's side now accounts for four. Although Chen Mo is not an artist in Zhou Yu's company, the two of them have a good relationship, and they are basically just people wearing the same pair of pants.
He felt that this program was going to become a team-building program for Zhou Yu and his company.
And from the looks of it, it seems that Zhou Yu plans to use this program to promote Wang Jiachao and Zhao Lei to the top.
In this way, Zhou Yu's company will occupy three places in the future. No matter how they are eliminated, people from his company can stay in the show. Wang Jiachao is now in a very good creative state. Even if he does not rely on Zhou Yu, there will be no problem in entering the finals. As for Zhao Lei, even if he is not a singer-songwriter, he is not weak, and with Zhou Yu's help, he will stay.
After all this calculation, it seems that this season's "Singer" Zhou Yu is the one who has benefited the most.
But there's nothing you can do about it. With his strength here, you can't say anything.
but……
Shen Guangyan's eyes fell on Liu Zifan. This young man who had just arrived seemed to be full of hostility towards Zhou Yu. Moreover, Shen Guangyan also learned about the matter between him and Zhou Yu. The entire rap circle is currently targeting Zhou Yu. Liu Zifan is known as the number one rap person in the country. This time it is obvious that he is targeting Zhou Yu.
He was really looking forward to watching Zhou Yu's rap showdown with him, and...
Shen Guangyan couldn't help but sneered in his heart. He always felt that Liu Zifan was too arrogant. Although Zhou Yu has not released a pure rap song, but the rap clips he interspersed, to be honest, Shen Guangyan thinks it is very good. Coupled with Zhou Yu's own strength and talent, he always felt that Liu Zifan was going to suffer.
"I hope you don't follow in my footsteps."
Although he really wanted to see Zhou Yu lose, Shen Guangyan felt that this Liu Zifan was not reliable. Even the whole person is too arrogant, giving him the feeling of being a bit arrogant. This is deeply felt by young and top-notch people like them. They are praised too highly by the people around them and fans, and they hear too many nice words, and they can’t recognize themselves anymore.
On Zhou Yu's side, Teacher Chen Mo was chatting with Zhou Yu: "Look, the new program you recently collaborated with CCTV will be on. You kid, you did a big thing without telling us. .”
Teacher Chen Mo only found out about this when he saw the hot search.
He himself was shocked. Zhou Yu was not only engaged in animation, but now he was engaged in variety shows. The key is that this program is in cooperation with CCTV, and Jiang Dan, the godmother of variety shows, is the chief director. This kid can really surprise people at any time.
Being able to establish a relationship with CCTV and become a screenwriter for CCTV's new program is enough to show that CCTV fully recognizes Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled: "I didn't hide it on purpose. I forgot to tell you when I was busy before."
After chatting with Chen Mo and the others for a while, the staff came to remind Teacher Chen Mo that he was about to go on stage to host the show. Nowadays, Teacher Chen Mo has been working two jobs on the show, being a guest himself and also serving as the host. However, Director Hong Tao and others were still conscientious and gave him two wages.
As soon as Teacher Chen Mo left, Zhao Lei also got up and went to wait, because as a kicking singer, he was the first to perform.
"come on!"
Wang Jiachao cheered Zhao Lei, and Zhao Lei nodded and walked out of the lounge.
Everyone is also paying attention to Zhao Lei at this moment, because everyone knows that Zhao Lei is likely to bring a new song that Zhou Yu gave them.
The audience is also guessing who the singer will be in this episode.
"I don't know who the kicking singer is this time. The last time it was Liu Zifan, I don't know who it is this time."
"I'm not sure. There's no news at all on the Internet. The program team has done a good job keeping confidentiality."
"Come on, come on, the first performance is the singer's performance, he's on stage."
…
As Teacher Chen Mo's hosting ended, the lights on the stage went out. When the spotlight turned on the stage, Zhao Lei's figure appeared in the center of the stage. When everyone saw his figure, their pupils widened.
"I'm going! It's Zhao Lei! This time's kick-off singer is Zhao Lei!"
"It's really him. I didn't expect that Zhao Lei was invited to play in this issue, haha!"
"Hey, now, two artists from Zhou Yu's company are here. This show may have become a team building for their company, haha!"
"When I was in the semi-finals before, I saw that Zhao Lei was very strong. This time when I come to play, I think Zhou Yu will definitely write a new song for him. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I'm sure, Zhao Lei is not a singer-songwriter. If he comes to play, Zhou Yu will definitely write new songs for him. Ahh! I can hear two new songs written by Zhou Yu in this issue. I'm excited!"
…
On the stage, Zhao Lei is no longer as nervous as when he first performed on stage in "Son of Idol". Nowadays, he can handle these situations with ease, but he will appear shy and slow-tempered when facing unfamiliar people.
He took a deep breath and nodded to the music teacher. The music slowly started playing, and information about the songs sung by Zhao Lei for this issue appeared on the big screen behind him.
"Song title: Nameless Man
Vocals: Zhao Lei
Lyricist: Zhou Yu
Composer: Zhou Yu..."
The audience was delighted when they saw the song information.
"Haha, it is indeed a new song written by Zhou Yu!"
"I love it, I love it. This episode is worth it. I can listen to two new songs written by Zhou Yu!"
"Listening to this intro, it seems like a slow song."
…
When everyone in the lounge saw this scene, their brows jumped. Shen Guangyan and the others glanced at Zhou Yu. As expected, Zhou Yu would write a new song for Zhao Lei.
I just don’t know what this new song is like.
Their eyes fell on the screen again, watching Zhao Lei's performance on the stage, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"I am the nameless person on this road
I have no news and no one comments
I have to try my best to get an ordinary script
There are so many twists and turns that I can’t make a living…”
Zhao Lei's voice is a bit deep. He has always preferred the style of folk songs, so he is very comfortable singing such low, lyrical slow songs. He held the microphone and sang slowly. His low but powerful singing voice fell in everyone's ears, making people calm down unconsciously.
Many people still recognize Zhao Lei's strength. Especially those who have watched "Son of the Idol" before, Zhao Lei's progress is obvious to all. Moreover, the songs Zhou Yu wrote for him were very suitable for him, and they were completely tailor-made for him.
Shen Guangyan and the others couldn't help but frown while listening to the first half of the song. Although this song is not a folk song, its style is very suitable for a folk singer like Zhao Lei. The lyrical slow song, coupled with Zhao Lei's deep voice, is very touching.
"The nameless person..."
Judging from the song title and the lyrics, it seems that there is a feeling of echoing before and after.
"Description of the little people at the bottom..."
Fu Ming also looked at Shen Guangyan. Judging from the song Zhou Yu wrote to Zhao Lei, it seemed very realistic. This type of song reflects real people's lives, making it easy for people to resonate with and has a strong sense of empathy. But this kind of song is also difficult to write. I don’t know if Zhou Yu can catch it later.
"I'm the one who left town
He is someone who has eaten and cried with laughter
He is the one who is on the road and the one who supports his family.
It’s the silence of the city background
I just want to touch it with my own hands
Every moment I bend over
Is it worth the soaked footprints left behind?
If you are also choked with sobs,
Just friends on the same journey
To all those who are upright but ordinary..."
