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

Chapter 237 Far ahead!



Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" became an instant hit and was loved by everyone due to its excellent quality. In other words, such a pure yet beautiful rap song makes the audience feel as if they have discovered a new world.

As Zhou Yu's first complete rap song, this song not only meets everyone's expectations for Zhou Yu's rap songs. It also made everyone see that apart from those rap songs with random shouting and vulgar lyrics, there can be such high-quality rap songs that can also sound so good.

For a time, Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" spread wildly on the Internet, especially on short video platforms. The clips of Zhou Yu's performance on the "Singer" stage were retweeted and liked by various people.

And this time, everyone knew very well that this was Zhou Yu's counterattack against Liu Zifan and Lin Hao, those who questioned him and slandered his rap circle. Before, many people were saying that Zhou Yu didn't understand rap. They felt that Zhou Yu, a singer who specializes in lyrical and slow songs, was really not as good as Liu Zifan and others in rap.

But now, this result is like a loud slap in the face of these people. pain! It hurts so much that they are now blushing and dare not speak!

Even the next day, after Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" was released, Lin Jiajia's music review video was released, which also highly praised Zhou Yu's song.

"Actually, like many people, I don't really like listening to rap songs. It was only after listening to teacher Zhou Yu's rap clips interspersed in his songs that I realized that teacher Zhou Yu's rap is different from those popular in the market. . This nocturne brought by Teacher Zhou Yu this time really subverted my understanding of traditional rap. This song made me realize that rap is not like other people shouting and shouting to stimulate the atmosphere. Just write a slur with a forced rhyme or even vulgar lyrics."

"The lyrics and music of Zhou Yu's song are very advanced. The music is the characteristic of this song. Zhou Yu is really a genius in music. He is a combination of traditional music and pop music, as well as Chinese and Western music. He is the only one who succeeded, and this is why he brought us such a high-quality rap song."

At the end of the sentence, Lin Jiajia herself seemed a little excited. Her eyes sparkled and she said, "I dare say that Zhou Yu's nocturne is a very representative and harmonious song in the history of domestic music." An iconic song, in my mind, this nocturne is number one among all rap songs!”

Lin Jiajia was not exaggerating, nor was she praising Zhou Yu just because he was her idol. But I made this evaluation after actually watching the show last night and listening to "Nocturne" several times today.

This song is extremely musical and artistic. It can be said to be a rap song, no, even a landmark song among all types of songs.

Zhou Yu alone blended a variety of musical elements, combining Chinese and Western music, to create such a successful song. This has never happened in the entire history of music.

Not to mention the combination of traditional music and modern pop music, singers and artists at home and abroad have tried the combination of Chinese and Western music. After all, everyone wants to create works that can be loved by audiences around the world, but the difficulty is beyond imagination. Chinese and Western music are two completely different styles of music, and people's appreciation of these two types of music is also different. In addition to different languages ​​and cultural differences, other factors are also causes of obstacles.

But Zhou Yu, in the creation of this "Nocturne", cleverly integrated Chinese and Western music into the song. Since there is a language barrier, we can adapt and integrate the melody of the song. It is said that music has no national boundaries, and you cannot understand foreign songs, but good melodies and songs can always be remembered.

This is also the reason why for many foreign songs that have become popular in China, even though people don’t know the gist of the lyrics, they can still hum a few lines after listening to the melody.

This is the case with Zhou Yu's "Nocturne", and this song has elements of both Chinese and Western music. He, Zhou Yu, is also the first singer in China to integrate such complex musical elements!

"Hiss! After hearing what the blogger said, I also think Zhou Yu's song is really high-quality. When I heard the intro and the song, I thought there was something in it."

"The combination of traditional music and Chinese and Western music is very difficult. I didn't expect that Zhou Yu could succeed, and the quality of this nocturne is so high, it's really amazing!"

"It is indeed a landmark and representative song. I didn't like rap before, but today I saw Zhou Yu's singing clip of this song on the Internet. Needless to say, this is the first time that I feel that rap is so good. Sounds good.”

"Yes, yes! I was also attracted by this nocturne. I didn't like the raps they sang before. It's like nothing else. Compared with Zhou Yu's nocturne, it's too rubbish."

"I saw Liu Zifan and Lin Hao before, weren't they very arrogant? Why don't they come out and make a fuss now? Haha, they must be slapped in the face now."

As for Lin Hao and the others, their accounts on all major social platforms have been compromised, and their private messages and comment sections have all been compromised. There is no other way but to close the comment area and private messages.

After learning that Liu Zifan had lost, he knew that such a day would come. Although they were well prepared, the offensive of this group of netizens was too fierce. In other words, their attack on Zhou Yu was too fierce before, but now the anger of Zhou Yu's fans has been squeezed out, and they have counterattacked in multiple times!

And now, as soon as Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" came out, not only Zhou Yu's fans and fans were scolding them, but even many netizens were scolding them. Everyone is saying that their rapping is not as good as Zhou Yu’s, and compared to Zhou Yu’s rapping, theirs is garbage.

Lin Hao's agent has already said hello to the company to reduce the impact, and Liu Zifan and the others are doing the same. From the moment Liu Zifan lost, they knew that this plan against Zhou Yu was going to fail. Each company withdrew first and hurriedly protected their own artists.

I thought that by taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Zifan could beat Zhou Yu in rap. After that, so many of their companies can unite and attack Zhou Yu severely, tearing off a layer of his skin. At that time, those brands that want to cooperate with Zhou Yu will have to think carefully so that they can have a chance.

Who would have known that Zhou Yu would be so invincible in music and so good at rapping, which really surprised them.

This guy has never released a rap song before. They all thought that Zhou Yu was not very good at rap and was only suitable for inserting a short rap into the song to make the song more interesting. But now, they realize that all this is just overthinking.

Lin Hao's face was ugly. He had imagined that they could succeed before. This time he pulled Zhou Yu and coupled with the broadcast of "Hip Hop in China", he could reach a higher level. As a result, now, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.

"You've been keeping a low profile lately and performed better on the show."

After the agent made the call, he sighed and reminded Lin Hao.

Now it's not just their family that's suffering, Liu Zifan, Zhou Yu, who had publicly dissed him before, and even the entire rap circle is suffering.

This time Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" really caused a big earthquake in the rap circle. The quality of this song is really high!

Even they felt a deep sense of powerlessness after listening to this song.

This song...what should I use to play it? !

Now, just keep a low profile and keep a low profile. There is a popular show "China Has Hip Hop". As long as Lin Hao performs better in the show, it will be fine after this period of time passes.

"I see."

Lin Hao nodded helplessly.

As for Liu Zifan, he was already abroad at the moment. Ever since the night he lost, he had been unwilling to accept it. He wanted to win against Zhou Yu, but he was not convinced when he lost to Zhou Yu in rap, which he was best at!

So the next day, he flew directly to Country H and found his former member of the men's team, who was also the top rapper in their group. When he was in the group, Liu Zifan admitted that his rapping was indeed not as good as that of fellow member Park Yeoljun.

Moreover, Park Chan Yeoljun is very good at creating and is now very famous overseas and very famous in overseas rap circles.

This time he came here just to ask his former team members to help him compose a high-quality song, but he didn't believe it. He really couldn't beat Zhou Yu!

Rap, he is the king!

Zhou Yu is just a dabbler who has become a monk halfway!

After winning against him once, he didn't believe that he could lose a second time. This time he came to Country H and looked for a song carefully produced by his team member Park Yeoljun. He thought it was better than the previous one. He must win this time!

"Zhou Yu, I must win it back this time!"

Although he is abroad now, he knows how big the impact will be after the show is broadcast. The entire rap circle has become a target of public criticism. They are compared with Zhou Yu and are devalued as worthless. They even say that their rap is underground and vulgar, while Zhou Yu's rap is high-end.

These words made Liu Zifan extremely uncomfortable. He must let Zhou Yu return the humiliation he suffered this time.

In the capital, Mr. Fang and Mr. Sun were also shocked by the news on the Internet. Zhou Yu had released a new rap song "Nocturne", and they had just finished listening to it. The two presidents also saw the comments online.

After listening, the two presidents were silent for a long time, and then Mr. Fang said something.

"A masterpiece! Zhou Yu's nocturne is definitely a masterpiece!"

They had also listened to Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" several times. To be honest, they were a little surprised when they first learned that Zhou Yu's new song was a rap song. Having listened to so many songs by Zhou Yu before, they had the impression that Zhou Yu was a singer who was good at lyrical and slow songs. This time Zhou Yu is going to release a complete new rap song, although he knows that it was caused by the conflict between him and Liu Zifan in the rap circle.

They had expectations for Zhou Yu's "Rap", but they were not very high. They all felt that Zhou Yu was best at lyrical slow songs. As a result, now, after listening to this "Nocturne", Mr. Fang and Mr. Sun realized that they were wrong. Zhou Yu is really an all-around singer-songwriter. Whether it's ballads, love songs, or rap, he's good at it all.

Moreover, after listening to this "Nocturne", they were very clear about the quality of this song. Apart from anything else, Zhou Yu also integrates various musical elements, including Chinese and Western music. In this aspect alone, no one can match him.

Even Sun Lao suppressed his inner excitement. Zhou Yu's song is really a subversive, yet extremely representative and milestone song.

As the presidents of the Chinese Songwriters and Songwriters Association, the two are still concerned about rap. But this circle, how should I put it, is not very recognized by the mainstream public or even the government. In the past two years, with the contact of young people, rap culture has begun to develop, and many young people like it. There are even programs such as "China Has Hip Hop" that have greatly increased the popularity of rap culture, which can be regarded as moving from underground culture to the ground.

But although this has reached the ground, there are even special popular programs broadcast to promote it. But the entire rap circle is a mess, and no good songs have been released in the past two years. Even the rap songs they have learned about have no nutritious lyrics. They are just saliva songs, and some are even worse. Very vulgar.

This is also the reason why rap culture has never been recognized by the public and officials. This circle itself has very few outstanding works, and some rappers still make trouble from time to time, and there are quite a few who step into the sewing machine. Only if it can be accepted by the public is there a ghost.

Mr. Fang and Mr. Sun didn't like rap very much, but after listening to Zhou Yu's "Nocturne", they realized how different Zhou Yu's rap was from those messy things.

Zhou Yu's song is a complete dimensionality-reducing blow to those cynical and vulgar rap songs that are popular nowadays.

"Zhou Yu's rap song is very representative. Look at the rap songs on the market. Can they compare with Zhou Yu's nocturne?"

Mr. Sun was full of praise for Zhou Yu: "Not to mention anything else, this nocturne is enough for those guys to learn for a lifetime."

"Furthermore, Zhou Yu's song is very high in both musicality and artistry. Compared with today's raps, his song is definitely far ahead."

Mr. Fang also smiled: "This kid, it seemed right to make an exception to recruit him. He is now cooperating with CCTV, and the leaders there are very satisfied with him. I met Director Li before, I heard from him that the new variety show written by Zhou Yu for them will be launched next week."

Zhou Yu is now getting better and better, becoming more and more outstanding. As the president who once broke the precedent and recruited Zhou Yu into the two major associations, he was under a lot of pressure at the beginning. Now it seems that their original decision was so correct, and the better Zhou Yu is, the brighter their faces will be, and the straighter their backs will be in front of the old guys in the association who once opposed them.

"It's already December, and major award ceremonies are about to start. My friend at the Golden Melody Awards is a judge this year. I heard that Zhou Yu has already been nominated. This guy is probably going to win the award."

Mr. Fang also felt a little emotional. As members of the Chinese Songwriting Association, they still have connections. The Golden Melody Awards ceremony is the most official, highest-level, and most valuable music awards ceremony in China. This year’s judges include their friends.

Although the content and results of the selection are currently confidential to outsiders, it is still very simple for them to know some inside information with friends around. Zhou Yu is nominated. Although the award has not yet been determined, in their opinion, Zhou Yu's performance this year and the songs he has released will definitely win the award this year.

The Golden Melody Awards is not an ordinary music award ceremony held by those platforms. There will be some shady events. This is an official event and there is no room for any problems. It is completely fair and just.

"It seems that this year's Golden Melody Awards will be exciting."

After Zhou Yu came back from the capital in the past two days, he took a good rest at home. Now that he had enough money, Zhou Yu also directly bought the house next to Yang Qian that he rented before. After all, I am too lazy to move. The conditions and environment here are very good, and it is close to the company.

The "Chinese Poetry Conference" will be launched next week, and CCTV has already started promoting it. The promotional clips that Zhou Yu helped shoot were also released, which suddenly raised the show's attention a lot.

"Hehe, I have been eyeing this show before. Zhou Yu is the screenwriter, so I must go and watch it."

"It feels like Zhou Yu has begun to cross industries now. He was also the screenwriter of the Bad Guys anime before, and now he is also the screenwriter of the new program on CCTV."

"What does this mean? It means that our husband is excellent. I am a girl who follows bad guy anime. It is very interesting. This variety show is definitely not bad."

"Absolutely. The quality of the script that can be favored by CCTV is definitely not bad, and with the participation of director Jiang Dan, the quality of this variety show is guaranteed."

"It's not too early to say anything. Animation and variety shows are two different tracks. Even if the program script is selected by CCTV, there is no guarantee that it will work. Whether the program produced by Zhou Yu's script will work? We still have to see the results after it is broadcast.”

"Yes, even CCTV has a lot of unsightly programs."

Now that the "Chinese Poetry Conference" has started to be promoted, most people on the Internet express their expectations, but some people feel that Zhou Yu is a variety show screenwriter and have some doubts about his ability.

However, Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to these. Now it's just a cloud. The results will be seen after the show is broadcast.

And just after Zhou Yu rested for two days and was preparing to participate in the recording of the new episode of "Singer", director Jiang Dan sent her a message.

"Zhou Yu, are you free later? I have a friend here, Director Chen. He is currently filming a suspense comedy. There is a young male protagonist in it. I recommended you to him and want to find you. Try it on, see if you are free one day, I will tell him here, you can come over and try it."

When Jiang Dan chatted with Zhou Yu before, he knew that Zhou Yu wanted to enter the film and television industry. This time I met Director Chen Mingyuan in the capital. When we talked about his recent movie, which had such a young male protagonist, Jiang Dan thought of Zhou Yu.

Director Chen's status in the industry is very high. Every movie he has made in the past few years has achieved high box office, and he even won the box office championship during the Spring Festival. He is planning to release this recent movie after next year. This is an opportunity for Zhou Yu who wants to enter the film and television industry. Firstly, it can open the door to the film and television industry, and by working with these outstanding directors, you can learn a lot, and this is also a network of connections.

She knew that Zhou Yu had guest-starred in Yang Qian's new drama. Director Yu said that Zhou Yu's acting skills were very good and he must have studied acting in private.

Such a prepared young man lacks such an opportunity.

Zhou Yu saw the news about director Jiang Dan and knew about the director Chen she was talking about. He is a very talented director. The movies he has made in the past two years have been very popular and box office hits, and his reputation is also good.

"Hero?"

Director Jiang Dan said that this suspenseful crime-solving comedy seems to have two protagonists. It is similar to a partner movie. The young male protagonist wants to try it himself.

This is indeed an opportunity. She will be involved in the film and television industry in the future, and acting and filming are inevitable. Moreover, being able to make friends with a resource like Director Chen has only advantages and no disadvantages. The world of adults is not that simple. Many times, we have to take a long-term view and pay attention to the word "profit".

"Okay, Sister Dan, please push Director Chen's WeChat account to me. I'll chat with him myself. I just happened to ask him for a script to read."

"Okay, I'll send it to you. Director Chen is a very talented director. If you join the crew, you should learn more from him."

Zhou Yu can feel Director Jiang Dan's concern. The two have been good friends for so long. He is really doing it for his own good.

"Well, I know, thank you, Sister Dan."

"You're so polite to me."

Zhou Yu added Director Chen’s WeChat account, but before it was accepted, he chatted with Director Jiang Dan for a few words. But soon, I saw a friend message. It was Director Chen’s friend application that was approved.

"Hello, Director Chen, I am Zhou Yu..."

After briefly explaining the situation, Director Chen also sent a smiling expression.

"Zhou Yu, right? I like listening to your songs very much. I heard from Jiang Dan that you had guest-starred in a TV series before, and Lao Yu praised you very much."

"I have a role this time. I believe Jiang Dan has told you about it. I will send you the script first. Then you can come and audition for me."

Very simple and straightforward.

A great director like this is very busy, and Zhou Yu didn't know whether the first sentence was a pleasantry or something else. But I also knew that I was busy, so I didn’t disturb my work by talking too much.

"Okay, Director Chen, let me read the script first."

Thanks to book friends Zhen Gong Long Live, Salted Fish Swimming, wang7844, Yi Lian Di Shang, 19981, and 51800 for their monthly votes!

It’s the end of the month and I’m asking for a monthly pass! grateful!
