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!"
