Yangcheng Evening News reporter Ai Xiuyu intern Zhang Xiaofen
At 9:10 on the evening of July 17, a new issue of the second season ("Flow 2") of the large-scale original era memory music program "Flowing Songs" created by Guangdong Satellite TV will be broadcast. The theme of this episode is "Flying the National Wind". The new generation of popular singer Zhou Shen will cover a Chinese style song "Fireworks Easy to Cold" by Jay Chou. During the recording of the program, Zhou Shen accepted an interview with a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News, revealing his recent working and living conditions.
Music: suitable for "Chinese style", favorite "next song"
As a Chinese music creator who has influenced a generation, Jay Chou has many popular songs. The reason why I chose to cover "Fireworks Is Cold", Zhou Shen said that it was based on his own voice conditions: "This song has not been covered by a singer with a thin voice for the time being."
The original version is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the cover version will inevitably face the pressure of being compared. Zhou Shen also admitted: "The original version is really good. I regret this song." For the idea of this cover and adaptation, Zhou Shen said: "Mr. Jay Chou’s song has its own characteristics in both singing and biting. I don’t know how to "hard change". In fact, no matter what song is sung, "restore" will always be my first priority. Will consider adding some of their own characteristics."
However, in order to sing new ideas, Zhou Shen still incorporated his own small design into the cover version. He made a bold attempt with his good friend and music producer Tang Hanxiao: ""Fireworks are cold" was originally a lonely and emotionally sad song, and our arrangement has made it more chic, Of course, the original emotions are still there, and still retain Chinese elements."
Since his debut, "Chinese style" has been Zhou Shen's special style of music. He also admits: "I do have a fate with Chinese style songs. Although I have tried many styles, songs that are well known to everyone, like "Da "Fish", etc., are still "Chinese style". My voice is more suitable for singing such songs, of course, I also have a special liking for "Chinese style"."
From "Big Fish" to "Meixiang Ruxiang" and "Nian" to "Wish to One Heart" and "Wish", Zhou Shen's music works are more and more recognized by the audience. So, which one is his favorite? Zhou Shen said: "I have been debuting for five or six years, and I find that the more I record it, the more I like the songs I meet. Because there will be more works of different styles, even the same style type will have higher quality and more. It’s something I like, so my favorite should be'Next Song'."
Active in many variety shows in recent years
Try: It is not easy to sing and jump, challenge the blank area
"Singing Songs" is a music program with the keywords of "tribute to classics". The programs selected by the program group are all golden songs that have been precipitated over the years. Although it is a new generation of pop singer, Zhou Shen’s feelings for classic old songs are particularly deep: “When I first debuted to participate in the draft, I sang the classic song “Happy Face” by teacher Qi Yu. In terms of singing, it has a greater impact on me They are also singers like Teresa Teng."
This has also become one of the motivations for the stage of "Flow 2" on Zhou Shen Station: "I am a person who likes old songs very much. I am very happy to have such a stage for us young singers to cover and let those classic songs have another. New look."
Previously, on the stage of "Singer · Year of Fighting", Zhou Shen successfully captured the hearts of the audience with a second Yuan Shenqu "Darabung Bar", and won the whole screen. "Dalabangba" has also become a new impression label that Zhou Shen left to the audience in addition to the "national wind" and "the sound of nature".
When asked about "what are the new moves in creation recently", Zhou Shen said: "I have been in the process of creation and have not satisfied myself." He felt that he could express his current emotions and stories with music. Experience, but "writing a song that satisfies you is actually quite difficult." Regarding the change in style, Zhou Shen added: "Always thinking about the second album, there will be styles that everyone can't think of, and try more of the blank areas in the previous music history."
With the ethereal voice, Zhou Shen's songs are mostly delicate and tender, and the emotions are touching. In the words of fans, they can always "sing into everyone's heart", so what is the secret? Zhou Shen humbly said, "All a singer can do is learn songs and sing well. Many times the emotions you feel are helped by the arranger, or the credit of the songwriter. The moving works are all by everyone. It’s not done by a single singer."
As for the singing and dancing skills that Xiaolu once played in "Dalabang", Zhou Shen said humorously: "I won't try it anymore. Singing and jumping is really not something ordinary people can do. I hope to sing well in the future. Come on! You are really hard."
Growth: Has always been a model worker, a more calm mind
Today, Zhou Zhou, who has dominated screens in various music variety shows and crazy output of various film and television OSTs (original soundtracks), is undoubtedly the leader among the new generation of pop singers. He is also called a "model worker" by fans for his intensive schedule. In this regard, Zhou Shen admitted that he felt "empty from the variety show", and he humorously joked with reporters: "You are facing an empty me."
However, Zhou Shen was very happy about this kind of hard work and busyness: "First of all, my plan for myself is to sing more songs for everyone, hoping to stay on the stage. "Lao model" is the direction I have been working hard, and I It’s not that I’ve changed my model recently. When I’m not liked and seen by so many people, I’ve been singing. So that’s my normal way, as a singer, I sing more.”
Once self-doubtful and criticized because of his neutral voice, he now has a stronger heart. After gaining more recognition, he admitted that the space and opportunities he faced were more: "Now I can choose more songs that I like more and have the conditions to perform them better."
How to maintain vigorous energy in busy work? He said that he seldom cried. He sighed to the reporter of the Yangcheng Evening News: "When she first entered the business, she told me'we often compare our mindset in this business'. Now when I look back, I will find this sentence very useful. ——Only if you have adjusted your mindset, you can continue to do what you like and keep going in the direction you want."
