There is a kind of youth called Jay Chou, I still remember that more than ten years ago, there was a singer in the Chinese music scene who always lowered his head and wore a peaked cap and spoke quietly, but as soon as this reserved young man debuted, he subverted the Chinese music scene with an unprecedented style in the music world, he is Jay Chou, he has no gorgeous packaging, he climbed to the top step by step with the spirit of a snail to become the king, opening the era of Chinese ** Jay Chou.
That year, the king held three weddings and three banquets, because he didn't invite his former boss Wu Zongxian after listening to his mother's words, even his mother was scolded for being ungrateful, and netizens said that Ye Huimei should be grateful to Wu Zongxian.
They think that there would be no Jay Chou without Wu Zongxian, but it is more correct to say that there is no Jay Chou without Yang Junrong.
Wu Zongxian is just the guide on Jay Chou's ** road, as the boss of the company, he actually starts from the most realistic point of view. Bosses will think about a question, what is this person signing for, what is he going to do, what can he do?
The company has no people who can write songs and understand creation, and Zhou appeared, which just filled this gap.
If you have a good eye for heroes, as soon as Dong Chou enters the company, he should be entrusted with an important task and immediately arrange for the release of films.
The fact is that Zhou entered Alpha to work after signing the contract, and did not let Zhou participate in record production from the beginning. Jay Chou at that time was not so ambitious.
You won't invite a junior high school Chinese teacher when you get married, and Wu Zongxian is not in Jay Chou's life circle. It is human nature to forget old feelings. In other words, you may not be willing to invite your old friend, the head teacher of the university, when you get married. Right?
Jay Chou participated in "Super Rookie King" that year, and the host Wu Zongxian saw that the song he composed was the most neat and neat among all the contestants.
Of course, Jay Chou was included, but he was only asked to write songs and not let him release films, because Wu Zongxian thought that Jay Chou's appearance was not good and he was not optimistic about him, and at that time he also felt that the song of tornado and cute woman was very strange and not popular, so the singers of Alpha Company at that time hired Jay Chou's songs were often love songs and lyrical songs, such as you are happier than before, the end of the world, etc., and told Jay Chou that he wanted to release the film and arrange the music It was very expensive.
Although, Jay Chou said, I can do these things by myself, but Wu Zongxian is still not sure, Wu Zongxian has been on a Chinese program and said it every day.
At the same time, Wu Zongxian did not forget the connotation of Monday, he looked like a ghost. Wu himself is not a handsome type. This, there is no one who plays double standards with the mouth of the king of Taiwanese variety shows.
The gold has been sitting there, waiting for someone to be destined.
Until Yang Junrong, the general manager of Alpha, accidentally went to the recording studio to put a CD on the table to listen, and it turned out to be a lovely woman who was recorded and sung by Jay Chou himself, and he was surprised to feel that the music style was very special, Yang Junrong asked Jay Chou, who was sleeping in the recording studio every day, who sang and wrote, Jay Chou replied to me that I sang and wrote, and the surprised Yang Junrong immediately called Wu Zongxian to discuss letting Jay Chou release the film, Wu Zongxian set the threshold for the film again, and asked Jay Chou to write 50 songs in a week and let him release the film, If it was true that Jay Chou finished writing 50 songs in less than a week, Yang Junrong even told him to give him 20 million to promote, and if he failed, he would resign, and Wu Zongxian agreed to let Jay Chou release the film.
This production fee should not be a big expense for Wu, and he also wants to take this opportunity to see if this young man has this strength.
So even though Wu Zongxian, who is the boss, has nodded and asked the newcomer to release the film, he still has the mentality of testing the waters.
In November 2000, Jay Chou's first self-titled ** came out.
This cassette only made 150,000 copies, it can be seen that Wu Zongxian at this time still thinks that Jay Chou's songs will not sell well, after all, no singer in the entire company sold this number at that time, so he only helped him make 150,000 cassettes, if he didn't stop the loss in time.
It's just that I didn't expect the 150,000 copies to be sold out a month after they were on the market until they were out of stock, so I had to hurry up and remake the cover production, and met the advent of the CD era, and changed the cassette to CD release, and later**It also made an exception to become Jay Chou's only revision**, and that cassette was out of print.
Wu Zongxian didn't expect that the unknown Jay Chou record would be so crazy once it was launched, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as soaring. Maybe he wasn't optimistic about Zhou's ** at the time, but he simply thought that he could write music and play the piano.
Knowing that Jay Chou released a film, the sales are gratifying, and he secretly slaps his thighs, I'm afraid there are a lot of people.
Incidentally, let's talk about a little gossip, many people say that without Wu Zongxian Jay Chou can't even release a record, but in fact, when Jay Chou participated in the super newcomer king, Warner's Wu Qingjun asked Jay Chou to write songs, and even that demo has completed 7 songs. It was later found out that he needed to sign a contract with Wu Zongxian before participating in the super rookie king, so this matter was stopped.
And Jay Chou's first ** song may not be in line with the current trend, but there are still people who appreciate it, such as Xingqing, who was originally submitted to Fenghua, Huang Shujun saw that he said to the company that he wanted to use that person, but Jay Chou was already going to release a record. Sometimes life's chances are just that.
So Wu Zongxian is an important promoter, but there is no need to belittle him as worthless because of this incident. Without Wu Zongxian, there will be other constitutions.
After the success of Jay Chou's first **, Wu Zongxian used his own resources to pave the way for new stars in the music scene. He hosted a very high-rated program, in which he helped Jay Chou find the MV heroine of the new song Tornado, and later, Jay Chou chose Chen Yirong, who doesn't talk much and quietly.
There is also Jolin Tsai in that show, although many people are in love with each other, in fact, with Jay Chou's aesthetics as a normal man, he may only have a slight affection for Jolin Tsai, and it has not risen to the level of liking it.
There is one thing to say, Cai's appearance still can't support the audience's expectations for the MV heroine.
So some people mentioned that only Wu Zongxian in the whole music scene at that time could accept Jay Chou's peculiar music style, but he was actually the wrong person.
Pack ** to the consortium Haoledi, the fuse of entrepreneurship.
After Wu Zongxian invested in LED in 2000, Wu Zongxian handed over the company to Yang Junrong to manage, and it was Yang Junrong who discovered Jay Chou's talent and asked him to issue his first personal **.
A few years after Jay Chou propped up Alpha Company, because of the debt crisis, Wu Zongxian sold Jay Chou to the consortium Haoledi at a price of 300 million, because Wu Zongxian offered a price of 300 million, no record company dared to buy it at that time, and even Chen Zeshan, general manager of Warner, thought that 300 million ** was too outrageous, and it would take me a few years to recover 300 million?
The record companies all felt that it was a lion's mouth, only the wealthy consortium Hao Ledi dared to take over, Wu Zongxian wanted to sell to the consortium, Brother Xian probably didn't think too much, just exchanged songs for money.
Can the consortium that sold to this kind of non-record company be able to sustain its acting career? Will there be a crisis? These questions not only lingered in Zhou's heart, but also made Yang Junrong, who has rich experience, reflect on such a difficult situation.
People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Chou Dong and his lyricist and later partner, Fang Wenshan, were not chosen.
As a result, Hao Ledi asked Jay Chou to release two records a year, and then asked Jay Chou to continue to take on commercial performances in the mainland to make money, which is tantamount to squeezing Jay Chou's health in exchange for money, and it was Brother Rong who desperately offended many high-level talents to keep Jay Chou.
After the contract with Hao Ledi expired, Jay Chou and Yang Junrong and Fang Wenshan"Right now"Joined forces to form JVR ** company, Hao Ledi (Alpha) also immediately filed a lawsuit, Yang Junrong tried all his strength to protect Jay Chou, and finally Hao Ledi decided to reconcile, which can be regarded as helping Jay Chou win the lawsuit, and the results of the lawsuit are as follows:
Alpha has the right to dispose of the rights and interests of Dong Chou's old works KTV, but the copyright of the recording works and MV belongs to Dong Chou, so fans can rest assured that K songs.
It's also good that Dad Zhou was shrewd enough when he signed a contract with Wu Zongxian, and signed a song to protect the copyright, otherwise all Jay Chou's original contract dispute was gone, and it was possible for the song to be selected by Haole Difa.
Wu Zongxian, who excavated Jay Chou: 6 years ago, he sold the entire Alpha Company to Haoledi Group, and it was clearly stipulated that Jay Chou enjoyed the rights. Wu Zongxian: The content is that my company is just **, and I will return to Jay Lun when the contract expires in the future, and it is very clear. But from Alpha to Haoledi, the copyright battle has not been avoided.
I remember that Wu Zongxian was interviewed by reporters and said that he hoped that he would stop if he lost 300 million, so I think Yang Junrong is the biggest benefactor, if Jay Chou himself has no strength, no talent, no hard work, no hard work, no matter who helps, it is useless! You are not strong enough, no matter how many nobles there are, you still have to be hard to strike iron.
After all, at that time, only Jay Chou made money for the company, and Wu Zongxian and Jay Chou were not so much masters and apprentices, but more like the relationship between the boss and the employees, but it can be said that he is a boss who has vision and is willing to give opportunities.
This article is not to emphasize that Wu Zongxian has no kindness to Jay Chou, I just want to emphasize the existence of Yang Junrong, you may say that without Wu Zongxian, Yang Junrong would not have discovered Jay Chou's talent, and Brother Rong should also be grateful to Brother Xian.
So without Yang Junrong letting Jay Chou release a record, where would the 300 million come from to rescue Alpha in the low ebb period? Maybe the company will go out of business a few years earlier and no one will buy it! Right. If Jay Chou hadn't been popular at that time, Hao Ledi would not have used 300 million to acquire it even if he had more money! The value of your existence determines how much money someone else spends on an acquisition. The fact is that Chou Dong's ** has this value.
Wu Zongxian gave Jay Chou the opportunity to write songs, and Yang Junrong made Jay Chou, not to mention Zhou's mother! How could anyone scold Zhou's mother for being ungrateful?
Zhou's mother has accompanied her son to piano lessons every day since Jay Chou was 4 years old, so if she hadn't given birth to Jay Chou, would Wu Zongxian still have a way to get 300 million to make up the company's debts at that time?
Then the school girl who helped Jay Chou secretly sign up for "Super Rookie King" also took it out and talked about it. It's just that when it comes to Jay Chou's benefactor, everyone must think of Wu Zongxian first, he was famous and the boss at that time, ** everyone naturally thought of the boss Wu Zongxian, but Zhou's mother and Yang Junrong should not be ignored.
Now there are many articles saying that Jay Chou is planning to sell the company and have a grudge against the former boss, but Wu Zongxian also said when recording the show that it was all nonsense in Taiwan. However, after this incident, the relationship between Wu and Zhou became more and more distant.
He and Jay Chou are still very good, Jay Chou often mentions his gratitude to Wu Zongxian, I really can't see that there is a bad relationship, when Liu Genghong got married, when Jay Chou and Wen Lan sang "Roof", they also pulled Wu Zongxian to sing together on stage.
This time, I think they must have had some secrets or embarrassments that they couldn't talk about before, or that there was something wrong with the work procedures of the invitation.
Jay Chou has never forgotten his roots since he became Jay Chou.
In 2009, Wu Zongxian wanted to release a record, and Jay Chou helped him write a song to be careful along the way.
In 2010, Wu Zongxian's three difficult trebles were going to hold a concert, and Jay Chou was deeply involved in Wu Peishan's scandal storm at that time, but he still appeared on the platform.
In 2013, Jay Chou went to China CCTV to give a lecture on the program, and gave a speech at Peking University, and the most mentioned in the 46-minute video was Wu Zongxian.
In 2013, when I was interviewed by Chen Wenqian on the "Zhongtian Youth Forum", I was interviewed by Chen Wenqian in just about 1During the 5-hour interview, I talked about the kindness of the other party several times, and I said thank you many times.
In 2015, Jay Chou released a film at the end of 2014 and was interviewed by the magazine:
When I didn't become an artist, I hid behind the scenes and worked, and I felt very content at that time, and I didn't feel hard to treat ** as a kind of work. I enjoyed the feeling of working with Brother Wu Zongxian and them at that time, after the work we would have dinner together, and I looked forward to it every time, my expectation was not that ** would be adopted, but his evaluation. Sometimes he pulls me to eat without even listening, as if the eldest brother is bringing a little friend.
Wu Zongxian's excavation and Yang Junrong's cultivation and release of records made me secretly decide at the moment that I would also be a Bole in the future, so I was always looking for new blood creators, and I also deeply experienced the original intention of taking care of newcomers, taking it as a kind of feedback, so that I could also become a person who can continue my life.
It's just that as the years go by, it's true that the life trajectories of the two people are drifting apart. Entertainment stars, like us in the workplace, have been in trouble for the sea, no one owes anyone, and they achieve each other.
Dig deep, marriage is such an important thing, and it is also in the small land of Wanwan, why is Brother Xian absent from the wedding of the old employee? Did you ask him about the wedding? Why is there a problem with the invitation program?
Wu Zongxian hoped that the husband and wife would personally invite the wedding card. I think Wu Zongxian is still the style of the old big brother.
Dong Chou is only the most popular and wealthy of his many employees, and among the people he has promoted are Kangkang, Nono, and Oudi.
Jay Chou just happened to be popular out of his own world. At that time, the status of the two was no longer the same.
It is said that Jay Chou had Wu Zongxian in the list before he went to the UK, but he was later deleted by his mother, after all, Jay Chou is filming in the UK and has signed a contract, and he can only ask for leave to return to Taiwan the day before the wedding banquet, and it is really difficult for the couple to invite him in person!
I wonder if this is the main reason why my mother finally deleted it?
1.Wu Zongxian was asked yesterday at the Sanli Chinese New Year's Eve special program New Year Flying Sheep Super Young if he was invited to attend the wedding of Zhou Dong in March.
Is it? He said bluntly: Husband and wife will definitely go if they come to invite them in person, and don't force them if they don't have time.
2.Wu Zai on China Television variety show play is very big The reporter will be asked about this again, and he said, there may be an invitation, but it's not what I want.
way. It doesn't matter if you don't invite, it's good for people to help me save money.
Every elder is invited by **, is it a bit nerve-wracking to make an exception for two couples in the UK to invite in person? And Brother Xian was videotaped that day, I think this is the reason why Zhou's mother will finally remove him from the list!?
But in fact, there was no Taipei field, mainly for the grandmother who was unable to go to the UK due to mobility problems.
In addition, the 4-year-old piano teacher and Zhou's father both came. Jay Chou, who is busy with movies in the UK.
Some people say that Jay Chou is a ruthless and unrighteous person, but I think a person who will consume his acting energy to support his friends, a person who adopts 300 children who have no money to study every year, I think his heart and personality are not as unbearable as you say!
But Brother Xian was really busy, so busy that he didn't know that Ai Tu didn't print the wedding card at all.
Maybe the three great benefactors (Ye Huimei, Yang Junrong, Wu Zongxian), they have the secret of meeting each other, there are many ways to repay Brother Xian, you don't have to use the way of inviting the wedding to make the three benefactors embarrassed to meet, even in private, is it only the way to invite the wedding to show gratitude to a person? Then this society is too superficial, right?
Whether a person is ungrateful or not is not defined by attending a wedding.
What happened, we are also outsiders, Jay Chou and JVR did not handle this matter well, but he did not kill anyone, did not set fire, did not break the law, and did not need to kill them all, otherwise as an outsider, he scolded the wrong one because he didn't know the inside story, and he was just trying to be quick talked.
And those fans who left because of this, we are very glad that you can leave him, because Jay Chou is an extraordinary artist, so he needs extraordinary fans to support him, the rumors will pass, ** will stay, a few years later, I will still see those**.
The short-term disturbance will eventually pass, and the strongest tree in life will only be greener after the storm. And we believe so.
Fans are here to support you. Remember to always be happy, happy and happy!
Life is hard, life is short, all the way north.
