"He was keen on music before he learned to walk." She recalled. When he was four years old, Zhou's mother sent him to the piano class to learn the piano, and he played well, like a piano fanatic. The high school piano teacher said that when Jay Chou was a teenager, he could improvise. Outside the piano room, Jay Chou is an ordinary teenager. While other students are playing basketball nearby, he keeps watching kung fu movies and playing games. Everyone else is busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but he skips classes and practices the piano twice, and his life is aimless.
Music saved him and brought him luck. A junior helped him sign up for "Super Newcomer King", an idol selection program in Taiwan Province. The producer of the program later contacted the surprised Jay Chou and asked him to take part in the performance. But Jay Chou dare not solo. Finally, he accompanied a friend who wanted to be a singer on the piano. The performance was poor. At that time, Wu Zongxian, the host of the program, was always looking for new people. He glanced at the nervous piano accompaniment boy and the singer who sang like a crow, and thought, forget it! Wu Zongxian said, "I don't think it sounds good at all. That singer sings really badly." However, he looked at the score: "I looked at the score from behind the referee's shoulder, and the result was amazing." Very complicated and well done. " After the filming, Wu Zongxian went backstage to find Jay Chou, who was wearing a baseball cap that almost covered his eyes. Wu Zongxian recalled: "My first impression of him was that he was quiet and shy. I thought he was autistic. "
Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs on a full-time basis. A year and a half later, Wu Zongxian decided to hand over the management right of Alfa records to his friend and singer Yang Junrong, and Jay Chou moved from behind the scenes to the front of the screen and became an idol singer. Within three months, Jay Chou finished his first album.
