The "female version of Jay Chou" grew up from a musical family
Zhou Bichang was born in a musical family in Hunan. Her grandparents, uncles and aunts were all music teachers or singers. My maternal uncle was Lu Ji, the first chairman of the Musicians Association of New China.
Zhou Bichang's mother was a singer in a cultural troupe in Hunan, and later became a music teacher at Fuhua Primary School in Shenzhen. Born in such a family, Bi Chang showed extraordinary talent since childhood.
“I have been very sensitive to music since I was a child, and I learned music very quickly.” Bi Chang said. Bi Chang's mother still remembers her daughter's musical acumen. When she was two years old, many children couldn't even speak clearly. At that time, Bi Chang could sing the theme song from the TV series in full.
I really fell in love with music when I was in junior high school. "I started to really like listening to music when I was in junior high school. I listened to foreign, Hong Kong and Taiwan music, mainly pop songs." Like all people who are obsessed with music, Bi Chang started buying CDs and gave away most of his pocket money. After going to the CD store, the CDs at home accumulated more and more, and finally the boxes at home could no longer fit, so I had to reluctantly throw away some of them.
From then on, Bi Chang became obsessed with R&B. "R&B has a strong rhythm and I like it very much." He first came into contact with R&B by listening to foreign CDs. Later, Bi Chang got to know Tao and became uncontrollably obsessed with him.
In 2002, Jay Chou held a fan meeting in Guangzhou and met more than 300 Guangdong fans. Zhou Bichang was invited by Jay Chou to perform "Dragon Fist" together on stage. Zhou Bichang imitated Jay Chou's stage style vividly, and was praised as the "female version of Jay Chou".
Personality: A "tomboy" with strong opinions
In July 2003, Zhou Bichang scored 681 points in the college entrance examination and was admitted to Guangzhou Xinghai Conservatory of Music to study in the Social Music Department. In fact, with Bi Chang's grades, she could go to a better university, but because she likes popular songs, she insists on her own ideas. "Other schools don't have the major I want to study, so it's useless to take the exam." Zhou Bichang is already very independent at a young age.
Speaking of Bi Chang’s uniqueness, the most eye-catching thing is probably her neutral dress, with short, straight hair, distinctive black-rimmed glasses, casual shirts or T-shirts, and sometimes He also wears a small tie and looks like a handsome boy at first glance.
Bi Chang has been dressing up in this style since middle school, but she does not admit that it is men's clothing. "This is not considered men's clothing! I like casual and comfortable dressing. This is my dressing style. In fact, many girls also like it. Long hair and long skirts do not suit my personality. Besides, everyone has their own style. Girls don’t have to be feminine!”
Although his parents have always disapproved of Bi Chang’s “tomboy” dress, Bi Chang ignored them: “Ignore them, just make yourself comfortable.
"Moreover, Bichang's neutral dress has won the love of many fans, and he is considered cool and handsome.
Singing with all his heart in the competition, he unexpectedly won the prize
Zhou Bichang is just a person who can sing. The little girl was not well prepared for the future. She just kept saying: I want to make my own music and sing well, but she has not thought about her future plans.
Whether Zhou Bichang can win the championship in this year's "Super Girl" finals, Zhou Bichang has become famous in one fell swoop and is a rare new music star. Naturally, record companies are coming to her.
"I don't know. Mom and dad are talking about this. "She told reporters that if the negotiation is successful, she may temporarily interrupt her studies to sign a record label. Wouldn't it be a pity to interrupt her studies? Bi Chang said optimistically, "It doesn't matter, you can learn a lot wherever you go. ”
In her mind, being able to sign a contract with a record company means that she can see the wider world, cooperate with many famous musicians, and learn a lot about music. She also has to She has the desire to study in the United States and learn pure R&B. The reporter asked her, if there was a conflict between signing with a company and studying abroad, what would she choose? people. ”
“I really want Tao to write songs for me, he is my idol. "The little girl has such a wish.
Some people say that they love Zhou Bichang so much that they don't want her to enter the entertainment industry. If you like someone so much that you don't want her to enter the entertainment industry, then you really like her. You like her. The reporter asked her how she would fare in the entertainment industry if she really entered the entertainment industry in the future. Maintaining her innocence in a complicated circle? After hearing this, Bi Chang said "ah". Obviously, she had not thought about such a problem for a while, and said: "If the company really cares about my personality, it shouldn't. Let me change, otherwise, what would he do if he signed me? "
Unlike many players and newcomers who have a clear purpose of becoming a star, Zhou Bichang has not thought about what kind of life he will face in the future and what kind of path he will take. "I don't like to be a star. Get used to this. " She said.
Bi Chang is happy to be recognized on the street after becoming famous, but she is not used to it. What she likes is the feeling of standing on the stage, singing, and being immersed in the atmosphere. In her own music world. But she has not thought about being admired by fans and leading fashion trends.
“Music is long-lasting, but people cannot. "She said.
Being famous likes the stage, but not being a star
Before participating in "Super Girl", Zhou Bichang had participated in many competitions. In 2002, Zhou Bichang recorded He released his first single "How Much I Miss You" and won the Pepsi New Generation Singer Competition and the "Most Promising Newcomer Award".
"Originally, I participated in the competition to train myself, but I was also eliminated. time, but I feel that the more setbacks there are, the faster growth will be. "But participating in "Super Girl" this time was purely accidental: "I didn't want to participate at first, but then my classmates asked me to come, so I signed up just for fun. "Unexpectedly, by accident, I actually won the championship of the Guangzhou singing district.
After winning the championship, Bi Chang said: "Everyone has different characteristics. The reason why I won the championship may be It's because I'm different. ”
In the "Super Girl" Guangzhou competition, Zhou Bichang has always used R&B-style songs by Tao, Wang Leehom and others as his competition repertoire. In the 20-to-10 competition, Zhou Bichang unexpectedly chose After singing Zhang Huimei's "Liberation", five judges stood up to congratulate her. Ke Yimin was even moved to tears. Many people started to love Zhou Bichang from "Liberation"
The original version of Zhang Huimei's song. "Liberation" by Bi Chang is more than deep and sad, but not brave enough; while Bi Chang's "Liberation" has excellent transitions and details, expressing long-lasting emotions that stir people's hearts, and also sings a little bit of R&B flavor. "Every song I sing. The songs are all performed by me. I think why they impress the audience is because I sing them with my heart. "
The final of "Super Girl" is coming soon, and Bi Chang said that she will treat it with a normal mind. In this final, she will also compete on the same stage with Zhao Jingyi, the champion of Changsha singing area. Previously, news broke Zhao Jingyi once defeated Zhou Bichang in a competition, which caused a stir and caused a lot of saliva from fans of both parties. Bichang openly admitted when a reporter asked about it, "There are winners and losers in the game, as long as everyone can compete." Growing up in the game is nothing to worry about. ”
Reporter’s impression
The true girl Zhou Bichang
In my daily work, I have interviewed many new singers in the music industry. Their singing skills are average, but most of them talk about Hong Kong and Taiwan. The accent is full of auxiliary words such as "yeah", "la", and "oh". This kind of accent makes people feel goosebumps.
This kind of interview makes people feel boring, but suddenly it comes. I met Zhou Bichang, and her every move and smile were the vivid expressions of an ordinary girl. She was natural and natural. Although she was not the most beautiful, she made people understand what "hibiscus comes out of clear water", which is really valuable in this world full of hypocrisy. , so there are so many people who suddenly fall in love with her and are worried that she has lost her way in Vanity Fair. It is really a deep love and deep worry.
Zhou Bichang's voice is a bit vague and hoarse, and she is not particularly good at speaking. Compared with her energetic appearance when singing on stage, she even seems a bit dull, but this does not hinder her innocence.
During the competition, Zhou Bichang asked Ke Yimin a question, which is more important, being famous or singing your own songs well. Ke Yimin sang a piece of "Applause" to answer her. I asked Zhou Bichang the same question, and she thought for a while and said, if you really love music, you won't care whether you are popular or not, you will still be happy.
There are probably thousands of girls who want to enter the entertainment industry and become stars through "Super Girl". Zhou Bichang said she just wants to make good music, and I believe her.
