After listening to the demo recorded by Zhou Ziwu, Dai Yang was so shocked that he was speechless.
He couldn't understand how this song called "Blue and White Porcelain" could be so beautiful.
How does Zhou Ziwu’s head grow? They are all human, so why can he write songs of this level?
There is no doubt that this is another Xia Guofeng song.
When "Rolling Bead Curtain" first came out, he was astonished.
Later, the appearance of "Lanting Preface" made him feel that this was probably an insurmountable mountain among Xia Guofeng's songs. Even Zhou Ziwu himself would never be able to write such a high-level Xia Guofeng song again.
Then, "Blue and White Porcelain" appeared in front of him.
"Let's record it quickly."
Similar to Fang Qin's mood at that time, Dai Yang couldn't wait for this song to come out and explode the long-dormant music scene.
Seeing his excitement, Zhou Ziwu smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started."
As the first album in his life, he attached great importance to it and wanted to open a good situation for himself first, so he chose this song "Blue and White Porcelain".
…
Nine p.m.
Zhou Ziwu took off his headphones and came out of the soundproof room.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Dai. That's it for today."
He looked at Dai Yang who looked tired and said, "Take a good rest during the weekend. Let's continue on Monday."
In fact, he could have ended the recording long ago.
According to Dai Yang's wishes, record it three to five times, pick out the best parts, and put it together into the final product. This saves time and the final effect is good.
When he was in Qingmeng, he and his singers basically did this, and even worse, they recorded them line by line.
Zhou Ziwu was not a singer like Qingmeng, nor did he plan to release his first album. He did not hesitate and directly rejected Dai Yang's proposal.
After being rejected, Dai Yang reflected on himself and then felt a little ashamed.
Over the years in Qingmeng, he has always felt that he was a breath of fresh air. He basically didn't take the so-called own singers seriously and helped them record songs, just as completing the task.
Unexpectedly, in the process, he himself gradually "degenerated" and began to habitually do things perfunctorily.
"No need to rest, we will continue tomorrow." Dai Yang said with a look of fatigue on his face and full of enthusiasm.
He also realized that since the environment has changed, he can no longer continue to break things.
Zhou Ziwu said: "Brother Dai, you don't need to rest. I need to rest. After singing for a day, my throat is almost smoking."
Dai Yang slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I didn't think well enough, so let's continue on Monday."
When the two came out of the recording studio, almost everyone outside had left, and only the light in Lao Zhou's office was still on.
"Dad, you still haven't left yet."
Zhou Ziwu opened the door and found that his father was still busy.
Zhou Wenshan raised his head from the document and saw that it was his son. He rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The recording is over. You can leave first. I will leave after reading this."
"Dad, you have a lot of work to do, let's go together." Zhou Ziwu found that his father's energy now was not as good as when he was selling pancakes on the roadside.
In the past, Zhou Wenshan spent more energy on setting up a stall. Although he was very tired, he could recover after a short sleep. But these days, he consumes more mental energy.
When he first entered the entertainment industry, he had a lot to learn. In addition, he was also Zhou Ziwu, a popular agent, and he was also responsible for the daily management of the studio. With multiple tasks stacked up, how could he not be tired?
The mental exertion cannot be solved by just sleeping.
After his son persuaded him, Zhou Wenshan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go wash my face and we'll go together."
Zhou Ziwu nodded.
"Mr. Zhou is really a very charming boss." Looking at his back, Dai Yang sighed: "I heard everyone in the office talking about him privately, and they all said that he was with the right boss."
What he didn't say was that several girls said that it would be great if their future husbands were such handsome men.
Of course, it would be hard to tell Zhou Ziwu this.
When Zhou Wenshan came back after washing his face, the three of them locked the door and left.
inside the car.
Yi Wanqiu drove the car, and the father and son sat in the back seat with their eyes closed and meditative.
The father and son had been singing all day, and the other had been busy all day, so they were both very tired.
"Ziwu."
Yi Wanqiu's soft voice sounded.
Zhou Ziwu opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Yi Wanqiu hesitated and said, "In the afternoon, I heard Director Dai say that you need to prepare ten new songs for your new album?"
"That's right." Zhou Ziwu smiled and said, "Sister Yi, you seem to have something to say, don't worry, just say it."
Yi Wanqiu thought for a moment and said, "I think we can appropriately reduce the number of new songs in the album?"
"Why?" Zhou Ziwu asked.
Yi Wanqiu said: "After all, it takes some time to write ten songs. Coupled with the production cycle of each song and the subsequent promotion time, it may be several months before your new album is released."
"Moreover, everyone's time is now fragmented. If there are ten songs, everyone may not have the time to listen to them one by one, which is not conducive to the spread of your new songs."
"Of course, I'm not doubting your songwriting speed, nor am I questioning your talent."
"I just think that appropriately reducing the number of new songs, adopting small but refined tactics, and releasing the new album while the iron is hot can not only increase the exposure of each song, but also take advantage of your current popularity to increase sales."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Wenshan opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ziwu.
This assistant is so talented.
They had never thought of what Yi Wanqiu said before.
"Have you really never worked as an artist assistant or manager before?" Zhou Ziwu expressed the same question as her father.
"Of course not." Yi Wanqiu smiled softly and said: "Before, I was just a housewife who stayed at home for a year and was looked down upon when looking for a job."
"You are too humble." This time it was Zhou Wenshan who said: "This suggestion you made is very good and timely. Thank you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yi Wanqiu said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, I just said it casually, I hope it can help me a little bit."
"This is not a small favor, but a big help." Zhou Ziwu said.
…
Ten o'clock in the evening.
The fourth episode of "A Wonderful Life" has been broadcast. Amidst the sadness, Huxinting bid farewell to the second wave of guests this season.
In the trailer at the end of the film, there was a scene of the next guest, an unexpected but reasonable person - Zhou Ziwu.
Before tonight, no one would have thought he would be on "The Great Life."
Because the previous guests all had some relationship with the four MCs of the show, it is not very common for someone like Zhou Ziwu to have no interaction with the four MCs at all.
However, it is reasonable for him to appear in another variety show on Mango TV as the singer who has just finished "The Strongest Voice". Netizens with a keen sense of smell noticed that this was a signal that Mango TV wanted to favor him.
As for his trip to Huxinting, most people were not optimistic about it.
In previous programs, juniors like him were basically "dumb" and had no program effect at all. They were transparent characters who could be completely ignored. As for whether he is, we'll have to wait and see.
On the other hand, another guest, Yuan Bao, has high hopes from everyone.
Unlike Zhou Ziwu, he has been in the industry for a long time, and his second-tier status does not make him afraid to speak. Moreover, his fat face looks very easy-going, so he should be able to get along well with the MCs on the show.
…
A week passed quickly.
During this week, Zhou Ziwu is still busy recording songs, while Chu Qingqiu is busy filming "The Three Daughters of the Mu Family". The good news is that after nearly three months of filming, she only has the last few scenes left.
In another three to five days, she will almost be finished.
Friday.
She deliberately came back a few hours early to watch his first variety show after "The Strongest Voice" with Zhou Ziwu.
In the living room.
Peanuts, melon seeds, and tea are prepared on the coffee table.
On the sofa, the young couple sat on one end and the old couple sat on the other end.
Zhou Wenshan was originally in the studio and didn't want to come, but he couldn't stop the three people from bombarding him with phone calls, so he had to come and watch.
eight pm.
"Amazing Life" starts on time.
At the beginning, Chu Qingqiu was still smiling, but as the program progressed, the smile on her face became lighter and shallower.
After looking at it for another two minutes, she took out her phone and typed a bunch of words.
"Buzz~"
The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Zhou Ziwu took it out to take a look.
The second most beautiful girl: [I haven’t tasted the double skin milk you made, brother Ziwu [smile]]
From the moment they met until now, she has never called him brother.
If it was normal, this call would definitely make his hands and feet numb.
But now, his hands and feet were still numb, but it was not excitement, but fear.
He turned his head 15°, looked at her expression sideways, and found that she still had a smile on her face, and broke into a cold sweat.
At this time, laughter is more scary than anger.
"Son, have you and this little girl known each other before?" Zhang Suyue suddenly said, "Why else would you call her sister when we meet her?"
"I don't know her, absolutely not!" Zhou Ziwu immediately denied: "I called her sister because other people on the show, as well as netizens outside the show, all called her sister. I just followed the crowd."
He was explaining this to his mother and also to Chu Dahu.
Zhang Suyue smiled and said: "So that's it."
Zhou Wenshan said: "It's better not to call other girls so close in the future. After all, you have a family. Take this little girl as an example. I think she seems to like you quite a lot. It's easy for you to call her so close."
It’s misleading.”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Suyue quickly added, "This is Qingqiu. If it were me, I would have kicked you out by now."
Zhou Ziwu was about to cry.
We agreed to watch a program together to relax, but why did it turn into Zhou Ziwu's denouncement rally?
Chu Qingqiu glanced at him proudly. Did you see that I have a backstage?
"Dad, she just likes my songs."
Zhou Ziwu explained feebly. Judging from the situation shown in the program, his words were not convincing.
Zhou Wenshan shook his head and said: "Today in front of Qingqiu, I will tell you directly, Xiaowu, you are becoming more and more famous now, and you will face more and more temptations. If you do anything to disgrace Qingqiu,
Well, your mother and I no longer recognize you as our son."
Seeing that he was serious, Chu Qingqiu quickly helped smooth things over, "Uncle, I believe in him. Moreover, I also have confidence in myself."
Zhou Ziwu hurriedly said: "Yes, even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe in Qingqiu. Dad, I heard from my mother that when you were young, you were a famous and handsome boy from all over the country. The girls who admired you at that time were also like this.
Jiang Zhicrucian, haven’t you also been in love with my mother for the rest of your life?”
"I also believe that mom may not be the best among the girls chasing you, but she must be the most beautiful. So, you should understand me. In front of Qingqiu, other girls can't even look at me, and I
How could I do anything sorry to her?"
After a few words and compliments to three people, the two ladies were elated. Although Zhou Wenshan's face remained calm, only he knew whether he was happy or unhappy in his heart.
"Son, what are you talking about? I was the best and the most beautiful back then." Zhang Suyue said "dissatisfied".
Zhou Ziwu laughed dumbly, "Yes, I was wrong. You are the best and the most beautiful one."
…
Ten o'clock in the evening.
"Life" ended abruptly when it aired as a group of people were preparing for the Buddha to jump over the wall at night.
Zhou Ziwu turned off the TV and everyone washed up and went to bed.
In the bathroom.
Zhou Ziwu was the last one to wash up. He was brushing his teeth when the door suddenly opened.
He turned around and saw that it was Chu Dahu, so he slurred: "Do you want to go to the toilet? I'll be there soon."
"No, I'm here to find you." Chu Qingqiu was wearing a suspender nightgown and a pair of black flip-flops, with a slight blush on her face.
"puff."
Turning back to spit out the foam in his mouth, Zhou Ziwu turned around again, holding a toothbrush in his hand and looking at her in confusion, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Chu Qingqiu didn't speak, just nodded.
Under his gaze, she slowly approached him, and with every step she took, the blush on her face deepened. When she walked in front of him, even the roots of her ears were red.
"Don't move, and don't ask."
Her words made him immediately hold back the words on his lips.
The next second, he only saw her taking a deep breath, as if she had gathered up her courage.
Then, Chu Qingqiu stood on tiptoes, and his whole body suddenly became taller.
From his perspective, her face, as pure and white as a shelled egg, suddenly came close to him, and then his eyes were blocked, and he could only smell the familiar fragrance of flowers on her body.
Then, two warm objects suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"In the future, you are not allowed to call other girls sister."
After forcing herself to say this, she immediately turned around and ran away, leaving Zhou Ziwu alone with a toothbrush in his hand and foaming at his mouth, standing there like a fool.
"thump."
"Thump thump."
His heart beat faster and faster, until finally, he grinned so much that even his back molars were visible.
