Zhou Bichang is a very magical existence in the music world, before there was a data survey, Zhou Bichang's fans have a very high level of culture, many are doctoral students and master's students, there are many excellent overseas students, even the big star Yang Mi is a loyal fan of Zhou Bichang, of course, now the two people have developed into good girlfriends.
I have never understood why Zhou Bichang is so attractive, just because of the cool appearance when he debuted? Just because of the iconic black-rimmed glasses of the time? Just because she's our youth? But these duckweed things seem to exist for a while, and it is difficult for listeners to develop into fans. Until recently watching "Our Song Season 3", Zhou Bichang and Shan Yichun sang a song "Sherlock Holmes", and I seemed to understand!
The theme of this episode is the story behind each song, and Zhou Bichang chose this "Sherlock Holmes", which was included in the album "Black Choice Ming" released in 2011, with lyrics by Ge Dawei and music by Guo Ding.
When this album was released, it was actually the darkest period of Zhou Bichang, just in time for the company to change, the team disbanded, and almost everyone left. But Zhou Bichang only wants to sing, and making an album is her wish and the happiest thing for her, so she has no one and she has not given up. Zhou Bichang united some of his friends and continued to make this album, and finished it with high quality.
It is also from this album that Zhou Bichang began to participate in the behind-the-scenes work such as album production, and the grinding of fate made her more all-round and fearless, even if there is no company to support the album, as long as she wants, she can do it herself.
The lyrics of the song "Sherlock Holmes" have many "whys" in them, and they have been asking why, asking God to ask fate to ask the people around them, the more they want to drill the horns, the more they want an answer. But in fact, no matter who you ask, the answer is in yourself, and the only one who can redeem yourself is yourself!
Zhou Bichang probably also has this stubbornness and determination to persist in his bones, even if the album is finished, the future is still uncertain, I don't know if it can be released, whether it will be popular after release, whether it will cause trouble such as lawsuits. But as Zhou Bichang said, this is something she likes and wants to share it with fans and listeners, hoping to influence some people.
Shan Yichun said that every time she practiced singing "Sherlock Holmes", she would see Zhou Bichang's eye circles turn red, although the pen himself explained that it was to invest in feelings to sing, but we can all see that it should be a mixture of sadness and joy, and complex feelings can only be expressed through tears.
Happy that he chose to insist at that time, and finally came to the present, he can sing and release albums freely, and the sadness is probably the bitterness of that time, only what he has experienced until the end, how he has overcome many difficulties. But Zhou Bichang has always been a stroke, no rendering and no deliberate sympathy, which is even more painful.
Suddenly, I found that I also liked Zhou Bichang!
