A swift horse runs fast, so you should know how to control Bole. In addition to their strength, Heavenly Kings also need pushers to push them onto the stage to shine. Jay Chou's Bole was naturally created by Wu Zongxian, Wu Zongxian and Yang Junrong, general manager of Alpha Records, who created the myth of "Made in Jay Chou".
Wu Zongxian's own experience is legendary. He has been an extraordinary person since he was a child. He often takes the alarm clock, radio and other things apart to play. Of course, if he can't get back together, he will inevitably be beaten. When he grew up, Wu Zongxian was not much better. High school went to five schools alone, including Tainan No.2 Middle School, and it was quite difficult to take the exam. None of them graduated! Finally, I took the college entrance examination with the same academic ability.
When he was in college, Wu Zongxian still kept his vivid nature. He went to three junior colleges, namely, Zhongxing Law School, Cultural Drama School and National Art College, but he still didn't graduate. Some of them studied for less than a semester, and the longest national art college studied for two years. In the eyes of the teacher, he is "a rotten wood cannot be carved" and asserts that "he will be mediocre and powerless in his life" However, this "deadwood" rented a bed-sized balcony in someone else's house and slept there when his family's economic resources were cut off and everyone around him was desperate. After tempering, he became the most attractive variety king in the entertainment circle of Taiwan Province Province so far, and his "Wu's Funny Modeling".
Don't regret not studying hard now or later? Wu Zongxian eyebrows a pick: "what? Am I not right now? If I had stayed at school, would I have had such a result today? "
Wu Zongxian once hosted a program called "King of Super-fierce Newcomers", through which some new people in the entertainment circle were discovered. 1998, a junior in Jay Chou helped him sign up for this program. In order to get Wu Zongxian's attention, he wrote a very strange "menu song". Being shy, Jay Chou invited a friend to perform with him. Friends sing and he accompanies them. But that friend singer sings badly. Wu Zongxian said, "I glanced at the score from behind the referee's shoulder, and the result was surprising. Very complicated and well done. " After the recording, Wu Zongxian, who founded Alpha Music, went backstage to find Jay Chou and signed him with Fang Gang, the lyricist at that time. The following year, Wu Zongxian and Jay Chou signed another singer contract. So Jay Chou, who was only 18, began to work for Alpha. Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time, and enthusiastically provided him with a place to sleep, so that he could turn that useless place behind the sofa into a small pop music factory, so that he could write good songs for singers in the late 1990s, such as Powertrain and Xu Ruyun. Jay Chou said, "Wu Zongxian is like my brother. He taught me how to become an artist, pay attention to my major and focus on my career. " When Jay Chou won the 12 Golden Melody Award, the Best Singing Album Award, Jay Chou even said, "Without Wu Zongxian, there would be no Jay Chou!"
Alpha Records, a small company, and Wu Zongxian has been busy with other affairs. At first, this company didn't have any specific business. Later, Wu Zongxian handed over the company to his friend Yang Junrong, the general manager of Alpha Records, to help him manage it.
Yang Junrong recalled: "I first met Jay on July 6th, 2000, at 438+0. At that time, he slept in a record company and was thin. Every day, I watch him loitering in the office, wearing a cap and not talking much. The speech is also very simple: good, bad, yes, no, I just took over the company and didn't know much about it. Once I asked him,' Did Zong Xian tell you about making records?' He said,' Brother Xian said that I would play the movie after I finished writing 10 songs.' I asked him how many songs he had written. He said he wrote a song. So he found a recorded demo from his mess and played it to me. This song is his first single "Lovely Woman". Four minutes later, I told him to do it right away, and it will be released in June+10, 65438. Then I called Wu Zongxian:' What are you waiting for such a singer!' "
In June 2000, 165438+ 10, JAY Chou's first record Jay was published, and Alpha Company became a big company.
The requirements for this fan are very strict. Apart from letting Jay Chou grope in the recording studio, he is also allowed to work and perform in the "Whippy Beat" restaurant with another newly signed Huang. Jay Chou also honed his part-time job. He likes playing and singing in restaurants, especially pop songs.
200 1 September, the second album "Fan Texi" was published. Its classicality and influence can be called the pinnacle of himself and even the whole Chinese pop music circle. "Cyclone Jay Chou" immediately swept across Asia.
Wu Zongxian is a busy man. He doesn't have much time to see his beloved Jay Chou, but he has been standing behind Jay Chou to support him. On the eve of the Golden Melody Award, he specially spent 40,000 yuan to buy a "silver" suit for Jay Chou, hoping that Jay Chou would come to the stage in silver to receive the Golden Melody Award.
When Jay Chou was still young, Wu Zongxian also created a love affair between Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou, hoping to attract media attention. In this regard, Jolin Tsai also admitted: "Brother Xian brought us together, so many people are talking about us." Wu Zongxian argued: "The reason why I fixed two people at the beginning was actually inspired by Jay Chou!" He also revealed his lover's privacy: "Although Jay Chou has small eyes, she is actually good at discharging. What impressed me the most was that when Jay and Jolin were introduced for the first time, Jolin generously asked Jay if he had a phone, because Jay, who was still living in the company at that time, didn't have a mobile phone, and immediately replied, "I don't have a phone!" He walked away shyly. When Jay Chou was bombarded, he spoke for his lover: "Many people fall in love from lovers to friends for ten years a year. When young people fall in love for a period of time, they may have both problems, or they may be novelty. When external forces suddenly intervene, they become friends. "
Perhaps it is the sentence "meet after a long separation, meet after a long separation". After Alpha Records sold Jay Chou, "Little King" Jay Chou had to give it to others at a low price because of poor management. During this period, the mentoring relationship was neglected to a low point, and Jay Chou's mood was also affected to some extent. Since Alpha was acquired by Holiday Group, "there is little contact with Xian Ge, only an occasional phone call. Our current relationship has nothing to do except guidance. " But he is still very grateful to the master who helped him make his debut. "A teacher for a day, a teacher for life. Thank you very much for your support. People will think that now that we are in Haoledi, we have nothing to do with Brother Xian, and we will definitely turn against each other. I am not a forgetful person, he is also a good boss. "
As a master, Wu Zongxian said in public that he owed his disciples too much. "Jay is no longer my singer, but just like he has always been my master, I will always regard him as my apprentice and pay attention to every step of his career. I am sincerely happy and proud of his achievements. "
"Jay is a spaceship, and I am a fuel tank. When he rose to the sky, I quietly fell in the Pacific Ocean and watched him continue to shine in the starry sky from a distance. I waved to him in the Pacific Ocean, but I couldn't see clearly because tears blurred my eyes. "
Whether it is a show or not, this sentence aptly expresses Wu Zongxian's feelings for his beloved Jay Chou.
