Description: When writing this article, I read Lu Dawson's words, I am too sad to write, I would like to use this article, dedicated to the readers who are in trouble, I hope that we will grit our teeth and "stay up", insist on our love, and let the rose bloom every year.
Is there such a voice that accompanies you wandering in the middle of the night; is there a time when there is a mountain in front of you, no road behind you, and you feel helpless; is there an experience of a person who has ever made you sigh. After thousands of twists and turns, his spirit blooms in the night sky, like the stars in the sky, in the dark night, giving us a little bit of light?
If anything, this person is Zhou Shen, this voice, is Zhou Shen's voice, that comes from nature, that amazing years, warm time voice.
01 Weeks deep past
There is a saying in the novel "Bird of Thorns": Because everyone knows that the most beautiful things can only be exchanged for deep pain and great trauma. This sentence is particularly suitable for Zhou Shen, who is strong and beautiful, but his musical path is not smooth all the way, and his experience is a good embodiment of the old saying "the sword blade comes out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold".
When Zhou Shen was a child and his sister were in their hometown in Hunan, many things had to be done by themselves, which is what we often call "left-behind children". When I was studying, I came to my parents and have been studying in Guiyang.
Zhou Shen himself once said in the program that the parent-teacher conference is held by himself, and when he is sick, he goes to the hospital by himself, and many things must be done by himself to face. It's not a lot of suffering.
In the primary school stage is relatively stable, the children talk almost the same, at this time Zhou Shen's singing talent has been reflected, he has been serving as the lead singer of the choir, the pitch is excellent, participate in the singing competition, the champion is also soft.
However, as a boy, Zhou Shen's voice is very unique, and he suffered a lot in junior high school. It is puberty that students' physical and mental development is extremely unbalanced, physically like an adult, but psychologically immature.
In Zhou Shen's own words, "The voice change period did not wait for me to leave", although he said this sentence with a smile, the bitterness in it was known only to himself. The uniqueness of the voice is the personality, but also the outlier.
Zhou Shen's difference caused him a lot of harm. You don't have to think about it, but after many years, Zhou Shen is explaining to those who have hurt him: "Everyone doesn't understand things, it's not intentional."
However, if you think about it with your brain, you will know that when you are a teenager, you will be excluded and ridiculed, and those harsh words will definitely be like a knife, bringing pain to Zhou Shen's skin.
During this period he stopped singing, although his singing voice was always beautiful. Zhou Shen said that he was "insecure", which is likely to be a sequelae of these experiences.
In order not to make himself so different as a teenager, he lowered his voice and even kept his mouth shut. In high school, Zhou Shen won the first prize in the campus song contest and sang the senior's song "After the Rain You Are Gone". Although he was much more confident than junior high school at this time, he still cared about his own uniqueness.
The ordeal remains unabated. He said in an interview that he once liked a girl in high school, and he sang a song for the girl at the bonfire party, but the confession was rejected. Zhou Shen once sang a song "Beauty and Mistake" to commemorate this fruitless campus romance.
After graduating from high school, I didn't get into the university of my choice. Zhou Yuanyuan went to Ukraine to study. In a foreign country, in addition to suffering from homesickness, Zhou Shen also had to learn Ukrainian and get familiar with life there. Even such a small thing as buying vegetables will cause the other party to be dissatisfied, because of the language barrier. It was not easy for Zhou Shen to swallow these exotic places alone.
He worked hard every day to take medical classes and got very little. I only slept for a few hours a day, my grades were not good, and the thin Zhou Shen was sent by the teacher to carry the corpse, which made me sad to think about.
In desperation, Zhou Shen transferred to vocal music. The family did not agree at first, but learning music was the only way out for Zhou Shen at that time.
It was easy to transfer to the conservatory that I was good at and liked, and began to learn vocal music, but the tribulations fell from the sky again. Because of overtraining, Zhou Shen suffered from vocal cord summaries, which is colloquially known as "loss of voice". The throat of fate, how can it be choked by the little Zhou Shen? He must have wanted to cry without tears, right?
There was no way, Zhou Shen changed teachers while treating. Because of the original teacher, the teaching method was improper, resulting in a summary of his vocal cords. He begged for three months in a row, and for three months he went to a professor's class, and finally the teacher of his choice accepted him. Teacher Gang also liked Zhou Shen and always called him "my little sun".
In 2014, Zhou Shen participated in the China Good Voice, his unique voice made him successfully out of the circle, the mentors all praised him, with his own words "see if you can sing your future", his amazing singing did sing his future, but the hardships on the road of music, but it is difficult to say a word.
02 Zhou Shen's Musical Path
Zhou Shen is like the legendary bird of thorns, there is a kind of bird, its song is more beautiful than the songs of all the creatures in the world, but it can only sing if it finds a thorn tree, falls on the branches full of thorns, and lets the thorns pierce into its flesh. Zhou Shen is also, singing all the way, all the way to the thorns.
Singing brings him joy, but his uniqueness also makes him suffer, like a thorny bird, thorny and beautiful, and like the mermaid in the fairy tale of Ai Disciple, the mermaid replaced her fishtail with a human leg in order to be by the prince's side, and each step is like walking on a sharp knife, and the pain is deep in the heart.
The Voice invited Zhou Shen several times, but he declined. He is afraid that with a bigger stage, will there be more criticism? He was once known as the "Goddess of Kabu", when he sang online and did not show his face. He doesn't know what kind of verbal attacks he will be subjected to after publicity?
But in the third season of The Voice, he still came. A song "Happy Face" shocked four people, when he was studying in Ukraine and participating in the company's performance. Zhou Shen once said that it was his hardest period of time.
His one-way trip from China to the Conservatory of Music in Ukraine took more than 40 hours. He had to fly to Turkey after more than 10 hours. In Turkey, wait more than 10 hours for the plane to fly to Kiev. Then wait for two or three hours in Kiev before flying to your city.
Watching him shine on the stage and sing sincerely, we may not think that there are thousands of mountains and rivers behind this, and thousands of miles of running.
Zhou Shen once admitted in an interview that as a singer, he had a cold bench period, and for a year, he did not work for a few days, and he felt that he was a dark cloud. At this time, how did he do it?
In his own words, "Stay up and stick to what you love." It was with this belief that he survived his low tide. He will also ask: I work so hard, why are there so few opportunities? While waiting, the works that allow him to be heard and seen appeared.
This is the "Big Fish" that made Zhou Shen famous. "Big Fish" as a promotional song for the domestic animation film "Big Fish Begonia", Zhou Shen also said in an interview about the origin of this song: the director of "Big Fish Begonia" asked him which musicians he knew who composed lyrics and music, Zhou Shen recommended Yin About Qianlei, the two worked together to write the song "Big Fish", Zhou Shen used his mobile phone to record more than ten times in the quilt and sent it to the film producer.
Fortunately, Zhou Shen sang this beautiful song "Big Fish", which was breathtaking, and listening to his songs can make people not know the taste of meat in March. The clear and melodious singing has touched the hearts of many audiences.
Zhou Shen said that this is a work that makes him accepted by the public. Because of "Big Fish", he has more opportunities to sing songs that suit his voice and choose his favorite style.
After that, Zhou Shen was unstoppable, and the album "Deep Deep", the first high-quality, "Rose and Fawn", "Blue Parachute" and so on were widely sung.
I began to listen to Zhou Shen's songs in 2019, and I was fascinated by the song "There Are Lovers in the World", and I felt that Zhou Shen was too good at singing. Teacher Li Keqin and Zhou Shen sang happily, one sang with pity, and the whole song made people soft and full of intestines, and they were full of anger.
Then start the program that Archaeology Week Deep attends. From "Our Song" to "Sound into People's Hearts", and then to the moths and backpackers in "The Masked Singer", it was found that Zhou Shen was really a powerful singer.
In "Sound into People's Hearts", Zhou Shen is not the chief, but his performance is not inferior to that of the chief. Especially foreign language songs, the performance is particularly outstanding. "Time to say goodbey" alternates between English, French, and Italian, and memory alternates Chinese and English. The trio "Hawthorn Tree" is a collection of tracks from my playlist.
In "The Masked Singer", Zhou Shen's bel canto made all the guests stand up, especially "Evening outside Moscow", where the chant, although he said that he did not play well after stepping down, but in the eyes of the audience and the audience, it was the admiration of "this song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world". On the basis of Bai Xue's good performance, Zhou Shen can go up to the next level and is really a talented singer who is not born.
However, "The Sound of Snow Falling" is a beautiful song, interpreting emotions, so that the guests have the "impulse to fall in love", and Zhou Shen, who sang, was also in tears.
Zhou Shen's singing is not only full of emotion, but also his language talent is extremely high, English, Japanese, French, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian, Hindi, Thai, and Cantonese, etc., he sings with ease.
I have a "Song of Laughter" in my memory, many lyrics "hahahahaha", Zhou Shen and Gong Linna teacher interpretation can be called "amazing". And I also found that no matter what level of cooperation with seniors, Zhou Shen did not pull across, and could catch it steadily.
Zhou Shen has more and more stages, more and more songs, such as "Dalabang Bar" in "Singer", "Yanqiu Words" in "Classic Arias", "Light" in the Forbidden City, Zhou Shen also gradually unlocked the reading white, drama, and was really impressed by his singing.
03 weeks deep bloom
As a singer, Zhou Shen is very sober, and he knows that flowers are not red. Fearing forgetting, he fought for every stage for himself. Keep recording songs. His wish was also simple, he said, as long as there was a stage, an audience that liked him, he was satisfied.
It is this kind of original intention that does not change, it is this reverence for the stage, and it is this love from the bottom of his heart that makes him insist on singing. In the process of discussion, I finally worked hard and shined.
As a singer, he not only often appears in the evenings of various David TV, but even if it is the evening of CCTV, he is also a regular guest. Large-scale evenings such as autumn evenings and spring festival galas have his figure.
He wanted to be heard, so he had the opportunity to sing, from Monday to Wednesday at the beginning to Eight songs in 2020. Not only does he sing frequently, but his songs are also enduring.
Let's put aside his stage for a moment and talk about his story with Raw Rice, which sounds interesting. Zhou Shen's famous saying of raw rice is "less care of me", and there is no lack of domineering in sincerity.
Zhou Shen will also interact with Shengmi on Weibo and personally reply to messages. This sincerity deserves praise.
Zhou Shen will broadcast live every birthday, and in 2020, he sang and cried himself. While red circles of eyes, while wiping his nose, his mouth was still laughing at himself. As a famous singer, his simplicity is really moving. In 2021, his birthday concert was watched by more than 30 million people.
All the way to the depth of the light, leaving the shadow behind, the white swan finally got rid of the prototype of the ugly duckling, ushered in a full bloom, and shone on the stage. He's always going to have his own stage, he's got his own audience, he's been singing, and he's finally not going the way of the thorny bird.
In the legend, if the thorny bird wants to sing a natural sound, the body must be pierced by sharp thorns, and only after the pain does it begin to sing a song that makes all the birds ashamed of themselves. The lark and nightingale of the king of the song are also eclipsed in front of its song. The whole world listened silently, and all the people and birds who heard the song saluted the thorn bird.
Now Zhou Shen, the thorns have been stepped on by him into a bush of roses. Although each of us is as faint as the stars in the sky, that little glimmer of light can also illuminate people's hearts. Come on, Zhou Xingxing!
