My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The song is about to be released, but it is not until the autumn is over.

Chapter 115: South Mountain South, North Autumn Sadness (Additional 8 chapters, please subscribe)

Lin Jiajia listened to Zhao Lei’s song “South Mountain South” several times. At first, she didn’t think much of it. She just thought it was a very ordinary folk song, and some of the lyrics were even contradictory. But after listening to it several times, she found that the song became more and more interesting. And Zhou Yu’s songs are like this. You have to taste them carefully to understand the unique romance and charm in the songs he wrote.

Such songs need time and market to slowly settle and verify. It has only been online for less than an hour, and it has not yet entered the top five on the new song list. But Lin Jiajia feels that if she gives this song more time, it will definitely be able to reach a ranking that will surprise everyone.

This song “Nanshan Nan” written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei’s new album has a tortuous style and a deep melody. The lyrics are a bit obscure and difficult to understand, just like Zhou Yu’s previous song “Raksha Haishi”. But when you savor it carefully, you will find the charm of this song, and the more you savor it, the more flavor it has.

“If all the lands are connected

Walk through life just to hug you

Drunk his dreams

Good night…”

This song “Nanshan Nan” written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei was written and composed by Ma Di, the founder of the folk music organization Mayouye, and sung. It was published on September 26, 2014 and included in his album “Lonely Island”. In 2015, Douban Music announced the winners of the 4th Abilu Music Award, and “Nanshan Nan” won the annual folk song single.

Some people say that this song is about love, some say it is about homesickness, and some even say that it shows a guy who has strayed into a pyramid scheme and cannot get out, and every explanation is well-reasoned.

The meaning of the song “Nanshan Nan” is more accepted by the majority of netizens and is the most credible. It tells a tragic story of a long-distance relationship.

Lin Jiajia couldn’t help but listen to the song again, looking at the lyrics and savoring it carefully.

“The whole song feels like the hazy melancholy of poetry and the vicissitudes of music. With the combination of guitar, piano and violin, it seems that I am not listening to a song…”

Lin Jiajia’s eyes lit up: “It’s like looking at an old photo.”

This is the charm of Zhou Yu’s songs. Songs are not just songs. Listening to the songs he created is like letting you experience the world. And not only Zhou Yu’s songs are well written, Zhao Lei’s interpretation of folk songs is also very good.

“The whole song tells about separation and regret. It is not a fixed story of separation between the male and female protagonists, but the story of everyone who has separation and regret in their hearts.”

Lin Jiajia felt that she had almost understood Zhao Lei’s new song, and also tasted the meaning of the lyrics written by Zhou Yu.

“The whole song is about looking back at the past, recalling my cowardice at the beginning, and the regret now. I only hate why I didn’t keep her. Now I can only recall every bit with her in my dreams every night.”

Lin Jiajia couldn’t help but sigh at Zhou Yu’s description of feelings and reality. Whether it was love songs or folk songs, his description of feelings was always so close to real life, as if everyone could find their own shadow in the songs he wrote.

This is Zhou Yu’s most powerful part, and this is why so many people like his songs.

Lin Jiajia didn’t hesitate at all. This time she not only wanted to post a video, but also two at a time. Li Xingyu’s new song is not bad, and Zhao Lei’s is also very good. This time, she can’t let it go.

…

At this moment, at Wen Shiyi, she had just finished listening to Zhao Lei’s new song.

“South Mountain South, North Autumn Sadness…”

After listening to it, Wen Shiyi was also a little emotional, although she knew that Zhou Yu was powerful and good at many styles of songs. But this kind of pure folk song was the first time she saw Zhou Yu create it. This album of Zhao Lei was tailor-made by Zhou Yu, so there must be more folk songs.

Zhou Yu’s songs are well written, and Zhao Lei did not disappoint Zhou Yu’s creation, and performed very steadily.

“Give this song some time, it should be able to rush to the front.”

This is also what Wen Shiyi thought in her mind. Folk songs have a smaller audience and need to be carefully tasted.

And…

Maybe Zhou Yu can beat Wei Shuming this time.

The song “The Year in a Hurry” that I wrote for myself before was won by Wei Shuming. This time, although Li Xingyu’s new song also has the help of Wei Shuming’s old partner Shen Guangyan. But Wen Shiyi feels that the final victory or defeat is not yet certain.

Li Xingyu is only temporarily in the lead.

Shen Guangyan and Wei Shuming were drinking tea leisurely. Shen Guangyan looked at the time. It had been a while since the new song they wrote for the newcomers in Starlight was online. This is when I opened the music software and was ready to see the results.

“Hey, Old Wei, look, number one, once you and I take action, it’s not going to be safe.”

Teacher Wei Shuming took a look and found that he was quite satisfied with the result. However, he felt that Li Xingyu’s interpretation of their song was not perfect, but now it seems that even if Li Xingyu did not interpret it well, not everyone can win the song they created.

“Look at the person who lived at the same time as Li Xingyu. His name is Zhao Lei.”

Shen Guangyan flipped through the pages and found Zhao Lei’s new song “Nanshan Nan” at the sixth position.

“Sixth, I didn’t even make it into the top five.”

The two of them also knew that the company Zhao Lei signed was the company of Zhou Yu that had caused Mr. Liu a headache before, and this album was also produced by Zhou Yu.

Shen Guangyan had watched some videos about Zhou Yu before, and to be honest, he quite admired this young man. I thought President Liu would sign him and become a colleague in the future, but…

Some things that happened next were not so pleasant.

He clicked on “Nanshan Nan” out of curiosity and listened: “It’s a folk song.”

After listening to part of it carefully, Shen Guangyan did not turn it off, but amplified the tone a bit. Even Teacher Wei Shuming was attracted.

The first time, neither of them spoke. The second time, the two of them looked at the lyrics and listened. After listening, a complicated light shone in their eyes.

“what do you think?”

Shen Guangyan looked at Wei Shuming and asked.

“It’s okay. This Zhou Yu is still somewhat talented.”

When they heard the song “Nan Shan Nan”, they were indeed a little surprised. This song is very good, the lyrics and music are both good, and the singers perform well.

Wei Shuming looked at Shen Guangyan and asked, “Do you think you can surpass us?”

Shen Guangyan didn’t say it clearly, but just said with a smile: “Don’t forget, the audience for folk songs is very small.”

Wei Shuming also smiled. He understood what Shen Guangyan meant. This song “Nanshan Nan” was indeed good, but unfortunately the limitations of folk songs were too great, and he himself did not think that Zhou Yu could win over him and Lao Shen.

No, what did I write that was a little bit poisonous? I have been losing follow-up subscriptions recently, and the 500 follow-up subscriptions have dropped to 200. What’s going on? This is the first time I heard that extra updates will be refunded for those who have subscribed later. Ahhhh, my mentality exploded!

I beg you all to support me by subscribing. I agreed to add ten more chapters to the five hundred points, and there are only two chapters left. I hope you all can subscribe and support me to reach the end of the world. We have reached it before the Chinese New Year. I am working overtime to add ten more chapters!
