According to incomplete statistics, as of today, Zhou Shen has sung about 150 theme songs for movies and TV series.
In the past two years, Zhou Shen's voice can be heard in almost every hit movie and TV series.
His voice is clear, ethereal and unobtrusive, and he always brings people into the story, which also makes him a new favorite.
But before that, because of this voice, he was prejudiced for many years.
In 2014, Zhou Shen received an invitation from the program team again to participate in "The Voice of China".
Two years ago, Zhou Shen refused once, he didn't want to be exposed to the public, first, he had little confidence in his image, and second, he had his own voice.
Later, the director stalked and contacted him for two or three months, which made him very embarrassed and finally agreed.
Because he wanted to make some money.
Participating in a competition, if he is lucky enough to win a prize and then sign with a company, then it is much more profitable than doing odd jobs.
After all, it was not easy for his parents to send him and his sister out of the small mountain village.
When I was very young, Zhou Shen liked music very much: when I was very young, I overheard Teresa Teng's "A Thousand Words" and found that I could also use a beautiful way of speaking to convey information, which turned out to be called singing.
It was the first time for Zhou Shen to be shocked by such a beautiful thing, but becoming a singer was something he couldn't even think of.
There is only one primary school in their small village, and there are students in the classrooms from grades 1 to 6, and when the first grade is in class, the other grades study on their own.
Conditions are sufficient.
During class, the teacher could only speak two sentences of broken Mandarin, and the rest was still dialects.
Parents don't want their children to be trapped here all the time, so they took them to Guiyang, and their parents set up stalls to make money, and when Zhou Shen was in the third or fourth grade, the family finally had their own small façade, which could be regarded as a settled home.
The family crowded into the small store, making packaging bags, and soaking in leather every day, Zhou Shen felt that he was full of leather smell, lingering.
But he didn't feel inferior.
One day, by chance, the teacher discovered Zhou Shen's singing talent, recruited him into the choir, and also became the lead singer, often winning awards.
The parents were very pleased, bought a set of singing equipment, and as soon as relatives and friends came over, they pulled Zhou Shen to show it.
Such a happy time probably came to an abrupt end when Zhou Shen was thirteen or fourteen years old.
One summer vacation, when I went to school, the male classmates in the class all grew taller, and their voices became much lower, only I didn't change much.
Zhou Shen became out of place.
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the boys in the class would laugh at him, and he tried to keep his voice low, as if to no avail.
In the years of middle school, Zhou Shen didn't like to talk anymore, let alone sing.
Zhou Shen likes to lock himself in his home and sing secretly in his room, and in 2010, the Internet rose, and everyone sang on the Internet.
This singing is really popular, gaining a large number of fans and gaining self-confidence.
Zhou Shen began to re-examine himself.
Facing the college entrance examination immediately, only a good score can make his parents happy, so he decided to take the art exam and sing on the stage again.
"You have to believe in what is just, not gossip."
This sentence has always encouraged Zhou Shen.
Zhou Shen successfully got the extra points for singing as an art student at Chongqing University.
It's a pity that he failed to achieve satisfactory results in the college entrance examination.
My parents heard from friends that going to Ukraine to study was cheap, and that dentistry and music were exceptionally good.
They moved the idea of sending Zhou Shen out to study.
Zhou Shen had no other choice and flew to Ukraine to study dentist.
Unexpectedly, in Ukraine, he discovered another talent of his own - the talent of language.
I learned not only English and Ukrainian, but also Russian and Polish.
When he was lonely, he incarnated as "Kapurat", sang to the computer, communicated with netizens, and sang for hours.
Everyone called him the goddess Ka'b.
When he received this nickname, Zhou Shen was quite proud, and felt that his voice had "deceived" many people.
Unbeknownst to him, such a "misunderstanding" would become a sharp weapon to kill him in the future.
Studying dentistry is really unhappy.
There are endless books to memorize every day, and more importantly, the teacher also bullies him.
often let him do manual work, and the corpses that are taller than him are not used by the tall Ukrainian classmates, but let Zhou Shen move them.
This kind of life makes Zhou Shen depressed, and sometimes he doesn't even have the heart to sing.
As if he had to choose between singing and studying dentistry, he told his parents about the idea.
His parents were very distressed, but it was not easy for him to go out, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, at least have a diploma.
Zhou Shen secretly applied for the Lviv National Conservatory of Music in Ukraine to learn bel canto.
Zhou Shen was able to go to the conservatory of music, mainly because he was favored by a baritone teacher, who valued him very much, and asked Zhou Shen to sing the songs of his fifth year in his freshman year.
This intensity is too great for Zhou Shen, and after only one semester of study, Zhou Shen's vocal cords have a small nodule, and it is difficult to even speak.
He had no choice but to go back to Guiyang for treatment.
Both Chinese and Western medicine tried, pricked needles and bloodletting, and finally could speak, but Zhou Shen never dared to go back to school, he thought, if he went back again, it is estimated that he will not be able to sing in this life.
In 2012, Zhou Shen already had 30,000 fans on the Internet, all of whom were loyal fans.
The director of "The Voice of China" saw him and privately messaged him again and again, at first he thought he was a liar, but later found out that it was true, but he still refused.
Once he showed up, the "goddess" became a "male god", and many people couldn't accept it, saying that he was disgusting and scolded him for being perverted.
Fortunately, there are still many fans who have been following him, so he didn't give up.
It wasn't until 2014 that he agreed to the invitation of the program team when he needed to earn more money.
The blind selection of the stage song "Huanyan" made Na Ying and Yang Kun love it so much that they were included in Na Ying's teacher team.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the end, but fortunately, Na Ying introduced him to a person, a song.
Late one night, Zhou Shen received a new group, opened it and looked, Na Ying said: Zhou Shen, this is Mr. Gao Xiaosong, he has a song he wants you to sing.
Zhou Shen was so pleasantly surprised that he didn't know what to say.
Gao Xiaosong said: I want to release an album for you.
But at that time, the young and ignorant Zhou Shen had already signed a contract with a black brokerage company, and there was no way to sign an agreement with Gao Xiaosong, but Gao Xiaosong said that he would pay out of his own pocket: I have made albums at any cost in my life, only three times. The first time was for Xiao Ke, the second time was for Pu Shu, and the third time was for Zhou Shen.
This song is "Big Fish".
In 2017, "Big Fish" became popular, and Zhou Shen embarked on the road of singing "OST".
There are many popular people, and words such as "shemales, perverts" are endless, and some people will comment like this in almost every performance of Zhou Shen, and he has also been picked up all about those things on the Internet before.
They are worse than the male classmates when they were in school, and Zhou Shen has no room for refutation at all.
He looked at these comments on Weibo, but was surprised to find that there were still many people who liked him, and some even told him about their personal experiences to encourage him.
Zhou Shen felt warm in his heart.
At the end of 2017, Gao Xiaosong fulfilled his promise and released the album "Deep Deep".
But he didn't become popular overnight, so he could only continue to sing the theme song of the movie and TV series.
In 2018, the "Sound into the Heart" program team sent an invitation, and Zhou Shen went.
This is a bel canto music variety show, among the 36 singing members, he is the shortest, but his energy is not the smallest.
Among the crowds, his voice is the most indispensable.
This wonderful performance won the opportunity to participate in "Singer".
A two-dimensional song "Dara Bang", he challenged to use five voices such as a little girl, a boy, and a king to interpret, and the treble, alto, and bass were displayed all over again, bringing the show to a climax.
The famous music critic Er Di commented on this, saying that there will never be such a wonderful performance on the scene of "I Am a Singer" again.
No one who has heard it says that he is not powerful, he is so powerful that he can bring a two-dimensional song to everyone and become a hit, so powerful that people ignore his appearance, and even a voice that does not match his appearance.
Zhou Shen relied on his strength to complete the reversal of word of mouth.
participated in "Our Song" and cooperated with Li Keqin, bringing many god-level scenes, and it is still the most anticipated group for the audience to return.
After that, he would have an out-of-the-circle divine comedy almost every year, and it became common to sing the theme song for popular TV series such as "The World", and he also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In 2018, the year when public opinion was at its worst, Zhou Shen participated in the "Masked Singer", and the program team prepared a pair of high heels and a skirt for him.
Zhou Shen was originally resistant, but for the sake of the show, he put it on.
When he was putting on makeup, he said to the makeup artist: Cover the mole on my neck.
He was afraid that his mother would recognize him while watching TV and would cry.
Gone are those days.
Mom won't cry anymore, and neither will Zhou Shen.
