The biggest joke I've heard in recent days: The prelude to Jay Chou's new song is suspected of plagiarism.
As the "ceiling of the Chinese music scene", Jay Chou has been walking high since his debut in 2000. The number of people who like him has only increased and his status as the king of heaven cannot be shaken. Even if it is married, he focuses on his family. Lastly, Jay Chou's popularity should not be underestimated.
Last year, Jay Chou released a new single "Mojito" with great success.
became the first singer of QQ Music to break through 20 million reservations before it went online. When
was officially launched, the price of a single was only RMB 3 yuan. In one day, Dong Chou made a net profit of 10 million yuan.
When the MV goes live, only Kuaishou, a short video platform for all, has exceeded 8 million views in one hour, breaking the 50 million mark in 24 hours.
But even so, fans still don't listen enough. Their favorite thing in daily life is to urge Jay Chou to post songs.
Finally, under the enthusiastic expectations of everyone, Jay Chou made a move.
He said on the Internet that as long as he likes 200,000 likes, he immediately releases the rhythm and MV a few seconds before the new song. He can only say that he underestimates his influence, let alone 200,000, 20 million can do it for him in a short time. good.
Waiting until the 200,000 likes of fans were completed, Jay Chou’s promise came as scheduled. He decisively released the 20-second prelude and MV of the new song. Unexpectedly, when the song was released, the praise was masked by the doubts of plagiarism from the outside world.
It turned out that someone found that the prelude to Jay Chou's new song is a bit like a song by a South Korean boy group.
Originally, Jay Chou didn't care about such trivial matters at all, but with the fermentation of public opinion, he responded positively to the plagiarism storm in an interview with reporters: it sounds similar, because the chords of popular music are too similar now.
To put it plainly,This chord has long been a bad way, just like Jay Chou is at the forefront of the trend of the times, playing all his leftovers, and copying himself.
More than 20 years have passed, and Jay Chou seems to have no "growth" at all.......
He is as good as ever, with arrogant capital.
01
Success is not so easy. It is the same with us, Jay Chou. He is not the favorite of the heavens. He kicked the iron plate after taking the first step.
No one thinks he will achieve something in the field of music.
In terms of singing, he is shy and slurred.
On the other hand, he was the well-known "King of Singing Songs" at the time. His writings for Andy Lau, Zhang Huimei, "Ninja" and "Tears Knowing" were all returned, only the Wang Leehom The best person, I received a song "Open Love" by Dong Chou, even though the result was not popular, I recognized it.
Until the "variety tycoon" Wu Zongxian 's appreciation, Jay Chou has the opportunity to implement his talent.
With the help of Wu Zongxian, Jay Chou launched his first album "jay" in 2000, when he was 21 years old.
Originally, the company didn't report any hope, and in the spirit of doing what it could, it didn't work, it took a bet on Jay Chou's stay, but unexpectedly won the bet.
How powerful is this album?
The famous teacher heard the two songs "Nunkaku" and " Lady " for the first time in the karaoke album,At one time, I was so surprised that I couldn't help myself. In the end, the karaoke game became a music listening game. After listening to it 10 times, the teacher, Xiao Dajin, completely lost his "reason" and admired the singer from his heart.
"The Killer of the King" Wah Kin Chou said that Jay Chou's album has brought a revolution to the Chinese music scene, and these male singers are all shocked by him.
"The Godfather of Music" Luo Dayou , Li Zongsheng , after listening to them, they burst into swear words.
When the album also sold 500,000 copies, Jay Chou became completely popular, and his name spread throughout the mainland.
Since then, the Chinese Orchestra has fresh blood and leading figures.
With the arrival of Jay Chou's second album " Fantasy " the following year, his popularity spread throughout Southeast Asia.
"Fantasy" is not only Jay Chou's recognized mastery, but also his stepping stone to sweep the door of the Chinese music scene.
In the past, singers released albums and never expected every single on the album to be popular. Basically, it would be nice to have three famous ones.
But Jay Chou broke the impossible. Every single in his "Fantasy" has a strong sense of melody. It is no exaggeration to say that, including the hottest "Nunchaku" at the time, other singles are all Can be used as the title song of this special album.
Many people have been arguing about which song on the album is more popular. It can be seen that Jay Chou's talents are fully demonstrated in this album.
02
The singer is most afraid of the embarrassing phenomenon of losing a license after playing the king at the beginning,This is the case with Jay Chou's third album " octave space ". Compared with the first two special albums, the third album is indeed slightly inferior.
But his great part is that he can surprise four people from time to time.
In 2003, Jay Chou was shortlisted for the 14th Golden Melody Awards. In less than 6 minutes of performance, he put together the piano music from the unreleased single " in the name of his father". Song.
On stage, Jay Chou was dissatisfied that he was shortlisted for two awards and blacked out the Golden Melody Award by singing.
Under the stage, the audience was all stupid after listening, and all that was left was admiration for this man.
After the performance, Jay Chou went home and wrote "Grandma", which was a very popular single later, and included it in another 2003 album named " Ye Huimei" .
Less than three years after his debut, Jay Chou appeared in Time Magazine, and he was the first male singer in Asia to appear on the cover of the magazine.
"Times" spoke highly of him, saying that Jay Chou was "the new king of Asian pop", and his music will dominate the entire Asian market and even change the direction of popularity in the future.
The words of "Time" come true, because a few months later, "Ye Huimei" came out so arrogantly that it became another album after "Fantasy" that was considered by the public to be Jay Chou's most successful album. .
On the day when the album theme song "In the Name of Father" premiered, nearly 50 radio stations broadcasted it in a loop, and the number of online listeners reached 800 million.
With such a high score, the radio station set this day as " Jay Chou Day ".
Since then, Jay Chou has indeed dominated the entire Chinese music scene and even the entire Asian music market.
Whether it is "Qilixiang" or "Jay Chou's Bedside Story", which is the nearest to us, it is very popular without exception.
With multiple albums, the cumulative sales volume is at least 50 million.
The average singer has released an album, and there is a song in it. Thank goodness, only Jay Chou every song in each album can bomb your ears, making you can’t help but cycle for three days and three nights. Not listening enough.
He also rushed out of the country, surpassing Madonna and Rihanna , becoming the third most downloaded singer in the world, second only to the world's number one superstar Mike Jackson and Lady Gaga .
Later, Jay Chou changed from "the king of new Asian pop" to "the king of Asian pop". The difference between one word and the other is a thousand miles away.
In addition to having a high degree of achievement in the music scene that many singers can't match, Jay Chou also has a talent for being an actor.
In 2005, Jay Chou starred in the first male lead movie " initial D ", and it is still a masterpiece that cannot be surpassed by domestic racing movies.
In 2007, Jay Chou directed his debut film " The Secret That Cannot Be Telled". He is both the director and screenwriter, as well as the lead actor in the movie. Both the plot and the rating are of the upper-middle level. . Even the film was even more popular in Korea than in China, and for a time, Koreans thought that Jay Chou’s main business was an actor.
But none of the above is the most powerful place, but his contribution to the Chinese music scene.
03
At the beginning of 2000, when Jay Chou made his debut, the Chinese recording industry was deteriorating, and his success directly brought the record industry that had fallen to the bottom to its origin.
It can be said that there is no Jay Chou in the Chinese music world. On the contrary, they have achieved each other, shared blessings and shared difficulties.
Jay Chou is still a role model for the new generation of young people. In the West, no rapper has become popular without swearing and provoking troubles to show speciality. Therefore, Jay Chou, who raps so cleanly, can become popular all over the world. The Western media was puzzled.
Because Jay Chou has always brought us positive songs, he has been included in the test papers of various universities as the material many times.
In 2014, Jay Chou released "Oh, That's Good", which opened the era of digital album hits.
Once his "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" was released, it broke the one million sales mark in two days, breaking the highest sales record in the Mainland since the beginning of the digital album era.
From then on, as long as Jay Chou releases another album or single, people will always see the phenomenon of the music server crashing.
In 2015, Jay Chou got married, that is, from this time, his professional ambition is not as good as before, the frequency of songs is getting lower and lower, and the quality is not as good as before.
With the advent of the era of traffic, some people began to think that Jay Chou was exhausted and lost his reputation.
Although fans who like Jay Chou grow up slowly and become old aunts and old uncles, no one wants to hear that their idol has passed away.
So, Jay Chou, a group of sunset red fans, did a big deal in July 2019. They made the list for idols day and night, and finally promoted him as the most representative artist with an influence of 100 million. At the top of the Weibo Super Talking list, it directly crushed the top players in the draft at that time.
If you are still dissatisfied and think that the era of Jay Chou is over, then take a look at his concert. This is the place where you can test the popularity and influence of a singer.
From his first debut with only 5 concerts to more than 100 concerts now, the concerts have been full.
In 2009, Jay Chou broke the Australian box office record for Chinese singers at his Sydney concert.
As a singer, he has achieved an unprecedented level of achievement that has never come before.
There is no doubt that Jay Chou is indeed old now. He has become an old man in his 40s and is about to enter the 50 mark.
Jay Chou is no longer just a good singer. He also has a good actor, a good husband, and a good father. As for the focus, it is definitely impossible to devote himself to singing as a young man.
However, this does not mean that he will give up writing and singing songs from now on, nor does it mean that he is not popular.
Just like what he said: "Songs written 16 years ago are still popular, and the era that belongs to me will not pass."
This sounds like it doesn’t seem to be true. I'm afraid of the same, in fact, it's not.
Jay Chou is still very afraid that his fans will not be able to sing before he hears enough. He hopes that he is not the youth of the fans, but for the rest of his life.
Yes, no matter how many years have passed, this man can always blow up the music server with one shot, and how could we forget an era? ! #周杰伦#
