My Songwriting Was Rejected, But I Became A Superstar

The old man was very happy, but he was still very happy.

Chapter 156 I still miss her

As the show progressed, it was Zeng Huayu’s turn to appear. At this moment, he was no longer as sharp as before, and he seemed to be much more silent in the show. It can be seen that the continuous loss to Zhou Yu brought him a lot of psychological pressure.

When it was Zeng Huayu’s turn to perform, he just stood up and greeted him politely, and didn’t even dare to look at Zhou Yu.

Standing on the stage, Zeng Huayu took a deep breath. Even though he had lost to Zhou Yu twice, and the gap was still large, he was always under great pressure. It can be said that as long as he was still in this show, as long as Zhou Yu was still competing with him on the same stage, this kind of pressure would exist in every episode thereafter.

But if he was asked to give up, it would be impossible. How many people want to be on the stage of “Singer” but cannot? Now it’s only the second episode, how could he give up like this? And if he leaves, wouldn’t it be telling others in disguise that he is scared and that he is scared of being beaten by Zhou Yu?

So no matter what, he must persist to the end, and…

Zeng Huayu’s eyes flashed with determination. This is just the beginning, and he may not always lose!

The audience also looked at Zeng Huayu on the stage, looking at each other, whispering to each other, and talking in a low voice.

“Zeng Huayu, Zhou Yu was the opening guest last time, and he suffered so much. He didn’t win against Zhou Yu, and was left behind by Zhou Yu. He was far behind Zhou Yu.”

“That’s right. Now I think of the time when he targeted Zhou Yu on the show and said that Zhou Yu’s lyrics and music were not good, and I want to laugh. Others’ lyrics and music are not good, but you are? Now you are beaten down by Zhou Yu.”

“Yeah, it’s ridiculous to think about it now. He probably lost this time.”

“Ah? I think Zeng Huayu’s songs are pretty good.”

…

On the stage, Zeng Huayu spoke slowly. He is also a singer-songwriter, and he is the only one who can write songs of his style. Zhou Yu and others watched Zeng Huayu’s performance. What can they say? They are still sure of his singing skills. He is a professional singer, no doubt about that. But the style of the songs is really not something they can appreciate. They all say that his songs are ahead of the times, and he himself is also called Jin Xing Boy. But a truly good song can be appreciated by both the elite and the masses, not just because you think it’s good or because your fans think it’s good. If the public thinks it is good, then it is a good song.

The same is true for truly timeless songs. You can’t be too independent or too weird. A truly timeless song is one that everyone thinks is good to listen to now, and after more than ten or twenty years, everyone still thinks it is good to listen to, and it is still popular, without a sense of time difference.

Just like Jay Chou’s songs, songs from more than ten or twenty years ago are still good to listen to now. Even Jay Chou’s songs don’t sound like old songs from more than ten or twenty years ago, but like new songs that have just been released recently, and are popular music now.

This is called timeless, not those weird songs can be called timeless works.

This is also one of the reasons why Zeng Huayu’s songs have always been the audience of his fans, and he has not really been recognized by the public. He is immersed in his own world, and is praised too much by his fans. He has heard too many good words and can’t recognize himself.

After Zeng Huayu’s performance, most experts and teachers actually don’t like it, but they will give him some face. And because Zeng Huayu’s style is special, if you say it’s not good, his fans will probably say that you don’t understand music or something like that.

The evaluations of the teachers in the expert group are relatively fair, with both good and bad, which is also the norm in variety shows. The evaluations cannot be all good or all bad, there must be some contradictions and conflicts of opinion, so that there is something to watch.

Then it was Teacher Chen Mo, who served as the host and hosted the show for himself, and then performed directly on the stage.

In the past two years, Teacher Chen Mo’s Chen-style love songs have been popular all over the country, and he has also stepped half a foot into the position of the king, and his popularity is not low. In addition to his identity as a joke teller and a social cow, he has a strong sense of variety and often receives invitations from major variety shows.

Zhou Yu watched Teacher Chen Mo’s performance. To be honest, he had seen some videos of Teacher Chen Mo’s concerts or programs on the Internet. His concerts were like crosstalk performances, making all kinds of jokes, but fans like him like this. After watching too much of that

After watching some videos and watching Teacher Chen Mo who is now singing seriously, I am really not used to it.

After that, one by one came on stage. The artist from country H, Song Tianji, always performed very averagely, but due to his super popularity, he probably got a pretty high score.

It was finally time for Zhou Yu to take the stage. As soon as he stood up, he attracted everyone’s attention, and everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Shen Guangyan looked serious. He would no longer despise Zhou Yu. He had suffered losses from Zhou Yu several times. He now knew very well that he must not treat this young man with any contempt.

Zeng Huayu looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes flickering with hostility, coldness, jealousy, and even a hint of resentment. He was secretly cursing Zhou Yu that there was something wrong with this performance and he couldn’t get a high score.

Director Hong Tao and the others also looked forward to watching Zhou Yu take the stage. For them, they quite liked Zhou Yu’s songs. and……

Director Hong Tao and his old friend Wang Jie looked at each other. Both of them knew very well that if Zhou Yu performed stably this time, his performance would probably increase. After all, Zhou Yu performed as the opening guest in the last episode, so he suffered a bit in terms of voting scores, but he still got a good result of third place. He is the third player from the bottom to appear in this period. As long as he performs stably, even if his results cannot be improved, he can basically stabilize at this ranking.

Now Zhou Yu, in terms of popularity and influence, is not as different as the two kings and queens, Shen Guangyan and Sun Qianqian, or even worse.

As for Song Tianji, the top artist in Country H, although he is very popular, he is relatively disadvantaged in domestic competitions, so it is good to be able to stay in the top five due to his popularity. If he wants to rush to the front, he will probably have to perform well in singing Chinese songs.

On the stage, the lights went out, and the host, Mr. Chen Mo, had already given up the stage to him.

“Come on, come on, this is Zhou Yu. I’ve been enjoying listening to his Lanting preface so much lately. It’s really good.”

“Yes, Zhou Yu’s songs are really good. I wonder if he will bring such ancient songs this time.”

“Little girl, I listened to it when I got back. I also like the Lanting preface very much. This Zhou Yu is very good.”

…

Some old people will also be attracted to you after watching Zhou Yu’s performance in the first episode, and they will follow Zhou Yu when they go back. They also listened to Zhou Yu’s recently released new songs. Among them, the most popular song “Lanting Preface” is also the favorite song of many elderly people.

Zhou Yu’s wave has attracted a lot of elderly fans.

In this era, those who can watch these programs and access the Internet are intellectuals or elderly people whose families have the conditions. They still prefer this kind of ancient songs and music that highlights Chinese culture.

On the stage, the music started playing slowly, and the big screen behind Zhou Yu began to display information about his new song.

“Song title: I still miss her

Vocals: Zhou Yu

Lyricist: Zhou Yu

Composer: Zhou Yu…”

When everyone saw this song title, they also knew the type of song Zhou Yu brought this time. It is obviously a modern love song.

It’s just that the title of the song “I Still Miss Her” is a bit fanciful. After all, Zhou Yu has written so many love songs. There have been rumors on the Internet that Zhou Yu probably has rich emotional experience and can write so many good love songs. Although Zhou Yu has replied in the comment area before, those are all inspirations, but it will inevitably make people think too much.

And the title of this song is even more so, “I Still Miss Her”. Such a bold and explicit expression of emotion made many audience members unable to help but ridicule.

“Who is Zhou Yu thinking of?”

The female fan said arrogantly: “My husband must miss me.”

Even Teacher Chen Mo couldn’t help but laugh: “Is this guy really in love?”

On the stage, the prelude was playing, and the sad tune seemed to be able to make people guess that Zhou Yu’s song was another bitter love song.

“It’s over, I feel like I need to get some tissues ready.”

“Listening to this intro, I feel like it is another sad song. Zhou Yu’s bitter love song is very lethal.”

“Well, this is only the second episode. Zhou Yu, do you need to make me cry in the second episode?”

…

The sadness of the violin combined with other music was very strong. As the prelude ended, Zhou Yu slowly spoke.

“Tears drown me. Who should be sad?

Who on earth let go of this relationship?

I finally understood the promise I couldn’t keep

It becomes a shackles

In reality, happiness is always in short supply…”

The song Zhou Yu brought this time was a song sung by JJ Lin, called “I Still Miss Her”. This song was written by Xing Zenghua and composed by Lin Junjie.

It is included in JJ Lin Junjie’s album “JJ Lu” released on October 18, 2008. Moreover, this song is also the episode of the TV series “Love Wakes Up” broadcasted in 2011.

And this song was also created by JJ Lin Junjie based on the true story of a fan. He wanted to use notes to comfort the fan’s unfinished student love.

JJ Lin Junjie is also Zhou Yu’s favorite singer besides Jay Chou. Fans call them the two of them Double J, and the relationship between the two is also very good. JJ Lin has even publicly stated that he is a fan of Jay Chou, and Jay Chou also said that among his many fans, JJ Lin is the best singer. And Jay Chou also said that many celebrities in the entertainment industry are his fans, but when they become successful, they will be ashamed to say that they are his fans. Only JJ Lin, even with his current popularity and status, will never deny that he is his fan.
