Singing: Zhou Hui
Lyrics/Song: Zhou Hui
Remote Control Turn around and turn to whose mood
He acts I cry I can't tell whether it is true or false
Juickbox Click to click and click to my love song
lyrics sing you and I promise
Too many people have passed my life
Only you have moved me
Too many things
Too many things Touched my soul
Only you make me miss
I don’t care about the muddy all the way
You are my scenery
No matter how far away
Just love thoroughly
I don’t care how hard the love road is
I just have the courage to kiss you
Even if I’m stupid enough, even if I lose my strength
I don’t want to give up

Don’t look at it now is a big era where you can post music albums casually, but as a singer, you still need a certain amount of talent.
This kind of talent does not necessarily mean creative talent. Singers do not need to have the talents of Lee Zongsheng , Luo Dayou and others. It is only possible to leave this kind of thing to Lin Xi, Huang Weiwen and Lin Huiyang. If the world is full of original singers, it will be a bit unrealistic.
privately thinks that the talent that singer really cannot do without is his voice.
As long as your voice is special enough and attractive enough, with the mature star-making mechanism in the Chinese music scene, you may not be able to become Eason Chan , but at least you can become Zheng Zhongji in his heyday. Therefore, I stubbornly believe that compared to the creative ability that can be cultivated by , the singer's own voice characteristics are priceless.
In this regard, Zhang Xinzhe and Wu Qingfeng are typical positive cases among male singers.
Among the female singers, Zhou Hui is the first goddess of "sound control".
must be admitted that this song "Shoufu" composed by Zhou Hui does not have many highlights in lyrics and music creation. Although the theme is "keep the promise", the emotional artistic conception of this song is too simple and even has obvious traces of routine. At most, it is an ordinary love song that is stable.
But no one can deny it. Even such a unique song, once combines it with Zhou Hui's voice, it seems that if you listen to it for a few hundred times, it won't make people feel bored.
has nothing to say, this is the charm of Zhou Hui's voice. This female singer who debuted in 1999 has the most charming voice among Chinese female singers in the past twenty years.

Zhou Hui’s debut story is a bit legendary. After graduating from the Chinese Art School, she casually recorded a cover CD that was memorialized by herself, but she did not expect that the CD would be transferred to the famous Taiwanese musician Ji Zhongping . Therefore, with the recommendation of Ji Zhongping, Zhou Hui quickly signed a contract with Fumao Records and officially released her first solo album "Zhou Hui Selection" in August 1999.
For a fledgling new singer, the first album dares to be named "selected", which is enough to show the record company's confidence in Zhou Hui and her debut work.
direct feedback from fans and the market did not disappoint the senior executives of Fumao Records. After the album "Zhou Hui Selected" was released, Zhou Hui soon became popular all over the streets and alleys with the title song " Don't Want You to Know " and "Agreement", and ranked first in the music rankings for half a year.
For music fans who have heard Zhou Hui's songs for the first time, Zhou Hui's voice is simply a gift of gods.
This female singer who still holds a pipa and half-covers her face has a unique voice. not only combines the naturalness of Faye Wong and the quiet and tenderness of Xu Meijing and the tranquility and tenderness of , but also has the sweetness and cuteness of Fan Xiaoxuan and the pure and beautiful of Xu Ruyun and . Some people laughed at it. With Zhou Hui's voice, even if the album's song selections are all old songs that are tired of listening to, she can still become famous.
On June 15, 2000, Zhou Hui's second solo album "Zhou Hui Selected 2 I Want to Love You So Much" was released. In 2001, Zhou Hui released the Mandarin old song cover albums "I Want Your Love" and " Take care of tonight". In 2002, also on June 15, "Zhou Hui's Selected 3 Lonely City" was launched on as scheduled. From 1999 to 2002, Zhou Hui even debuted in the same year, Jolin Tsai , Elva Hsiao , and Stefanie Sun, who debuted in the same year, were collectively known as the " four little queens " in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It’s just a pity that no matter what era the Chinese pop music scene, the beauty of female singers is often proportional to their development trajectory.
Compared with other female singers, Zhou Hui suffered a lot of grievances because of the title "female version of Su Yongkang ". Not only did the record cover use comic dolls instead of photos, but MTV is also presented in animation, and the singer's path has been subject to many restrictions.
What’s even more unlucky is that in 2004, Zhou Hui was deceived by Bole Ji Zhongping and was helplessly caught in a contract dispute.
It is reported that the contract between Zhou Hui and Fumao Records is about to expire this year, and BMG Records and Ji Zhongping privately reached a transfer contract for Zhou Hui for NT$24 million. Out of trust in his mentor, Zhou Hui signed her "body sale contract" on the blank contract, but unexpectedly, Ji Zhongping took away all the production fees and then disappeared. Because the contract signed was Zhou Hui's name, and the production fee was given to Ji Zhongping early. The deceived BMG Records regarded Zhou Hui as a scapegoat and was unwilling to invest in packaging her again.
That's it. When Zhou Hui's career was developing smoothly, she was forced to "disappear" from the entertainment industry. In addition to not posting a movie for a long time, her position as the fourth little queen was also replaced by Liang Jingru .

On June 8, 2007, Zhou Hui, who had been away from the music industry for four years, finally released her latest album "Bloom", but in the Chinese pop music scene at that time, Leung Jingru, Jolin Tsai, Elva Hsiao and Stefanie Sun, were already known as the "Four Queens" . After the release of the new album, it did not cause any waves.
Even though the ideal and reality are very different, Zhou Hui did not give up. In 2009, she joined "Seed Music" and released the album of the same name on June 26 of this year. The song "Seeing the Deed" recommended in this article also comes from this album.
Compared with Zhou Hui's previous albums, the musical style of "Zhou Hui" is more diverse. In addition to maintaining the original flavor of "Zhou Hui style" love songs, the album's song selections are also more intense, and many quick songs have appeared. It can be seen from songs such as "Guardian", "Own Movie", and "Complicated" that Zhou Hui did not let herself stay in her comfort zone, but instead kept her music following the trend of the time as much as possible, showing the explosive power, diverse possibilities and imagination space of Zhou Hui's music.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Even though the album was helped by Jackie Chan, the market response was average.
and today in 2019, Zhou Hui seems to have become a figure from ancient times. Even if her album can still receive support and high praise from some old fans, Zhou Hui is no longer in line with the Chinese music scene today.

little gossip. Most singers named their first album after their own name at the beginning of their debut so that fans can remember their names.
For example, the first album of Jay Chou is called "JAY", Elva Hsiao's first album is called "Elva Elva", the first album of Xue Zhiqian is called "Xue Zhiqian", the first album of Tao Zhe is called "David Tao", and the first album of Jianya tsai is called "Tanya"...
However, Like Zhou Hui, singers only use their own name as the album name on their seventh album when they debuted, which is rare.
The first thing I can think of is Jacky Cheung 's fourth Cantonese album is called "Jacky", and after Faye Wong released the album of the same name under the name of "Wang Jingwen" in 1989, he released two albums entitled "Faye Wong" in 1997 and 2001 respectively.
etc. Jacky Cheung and Faye Wong?
OK, It turns out that Zhou Hui is also a person with great ambitions!
Tomorrow preview
