It took ten years for Jay Chou to make his debut in the music industry. In 1998, one of Jay Chou's schoolmates helped him sign up for this show. In order to attract Wu Zongxian's attention, he wrote a very strange "Recipe Song". Because he was shy, Jay Chou invited a friend to perform with him. The friend sang and he accompanied him. But that friend's singer was terrible at singing. Wu Zongxian said: "I glanced at the score over the referee's shoulder, and the result was amazing. It was very complicated and well done." After recording, Wu Zongxian, who founded Alpha Music at the time, went backstage to find Jay Chou. , signed him and Fang Wenshan, the lyricist at the time. The next year, Wu Zongxian signed another singer contract with Jay Chou. So, Jay Chou, who was only 18 years old, began to serve Alpha. Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time, and also enthusiastically provided him with a place to sleep, allowing him to turn the useless area behind the sofa into a small pop music factory, so that he could become a singer in the late 1990s. , such as Power Train, Xu Ruyun, etc., write good songs. Jay Chou said: "Wu Zongxian is like an older brother to me. He taught me how to be an artist, focus on professionalism, and focus on developing my career.
