Jay Chou created "'s greatest work " after six years. Why are you unwilling to continue to cooperate with 's gold medal partner Fang Wenshan ?
On July 6, 2022, Jay Chou finally released his first album after 6 years, and released the prelude song "The Greatest Work". Just hearing the name tells you how much Jay Chou attaches to it.
What is surprising is that the partner for this song, which Jay Chou has high hopes for, is not the well-known Fang Wenshan, but the slightly unfamiliar Huang Junlang.
is obviously a movie about three people, why can’t Fang Wenshan have a name?
There are 2 reasons.
The first one is that Huang Junlang can control "The Greatest Work" better than Fang Wenshan.
Although Huang Junlang is not as famous as Fang Wenshan, he is nicknamed "Geek".
"In the Name of the Father", which was regarded as a masterpiece in Jay Chou's career, was written by him.
The characteristics of his lyrics are: strong storytelling and full of whimsical ideas.
And this song "The Greatest Work" is an imaginative song. The plot of the
song MV is that Jay Chou traveled to various time and space to meet great artists, including the surrealist painters Magritte , Dali , the modern painter Sanyu , the impressionists Monet, the great writer Xu Zhimo , etc.,
paid tribute to quite a few classic works, paintings and famous scenic spots throughout the process, but Huang Junlang perfectly integrated them into the lyrics.
It may not be bad if Fang Wenshan writes it,
but he is recognized as having a beautiful artistic conception, and Huang Junlang's "weirdness" is more suitable for this song.
As for the second reason, it may be that Huang Junlang is short of money again.
Huang Junlang has only one goal in life, and that is to write a book. Unfortunately, this enthusiasm has not improved the embarrassment of his life.
But after meeting Jay Chou, Jay Chou immediately made a new career plan for him and asked him to write songs for himself.
Jay Chou's starting point was just to secretly help his friends in a way that did not hurt his self-esteem.
But no one expected that Huang Junlang would soon hand over a song "In the Name of the Father" to Jay Chou.
To this day, the extremely avant-garde concept of this song is still an unbreakable myth in the Chinese music world.
So, not looking for Fang Wenshan is not a break-up, it is simply Huang Junlang who is more suitable.
In addition, other songs from this album have not yet been announced, and according to Fang Wenshan’s recent updates, he has obviously participated in other new songs in Jay Chou’s album.
However, Jay Chou's success is inseparable from having these two powerful players, but also an anti-human super skill.

In 2014, Jay Chou inadvertently exposed his most chilling side. This aspect of
also made the audience realize that his becoming a singer is simply a blessing to society.
At that time, Jay Chou went to a program to guide newcomers in making music. In the middle, a little boy came up and played an original piano piece, which lasted about 1 minute.
Unexpectedly, less than 20 seconds after he finished playing, Jay Chou, standing aside, immediately reproduced the song with perfect pitch. The whole process did not use any tools, just ears and brains.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. What is even more terrifying is:
Jay Chou only took 20 seconds to put forward corresponding modification suggestions for this song:
After Jay Chou’s pointers, the song instantly enriched several levels. .And this is not the first time that Jay Chou has shown his absolute sense of music:
On the Most Powerful Brain in 2015, the program team sent someone to play a "Zhou Song" backwards,
and then asked Jay Chou to guess which song it was. What is the concept of bomb? You will understand after listening to it:
Friendly reminder, this is a Zhou family love song that everyone is familiar with, but no one can hear it. Only Jay Chou heard the G key in the song, and then judged that the only songs that directly reflected the G key in his songs were "Sunny Day" and "The Untold Secret:
". The final results were announced, and it turned out to be "Sunny Day".
This skill is technically called " absolute pitch ", which means that when a person hears a sound without any reference, he knows the name of the sound and can accurately identify the direction of the sound. Source, it is very convenient to use it to do bad things.
At present, most of the great musicians in China only have relative pitch.
If you want to acquire this skill, you must first have one-in-a-million talents, and then have 100% effort.
is just right, Jay Chou has both.
But even if he is so good, fate still has to give him a "surprise".

We love Jay Chou as a youth, why do you, Lantai, treat him as a monkey?
In 2018, Jay Chou, who has been in the industry for nearly 20 years, participated in a singing program on a certain TV station.
The two parties were relatively harmonious at the beginning of the recording. Unexpectedly, when recording the 7th period, an accident happened:
The two players of the Harlem team that day chose the song "Sorrow of Leaving People" when choosing songs. After only a few words, Jay Chou frowned and his expression changed slightly. The audience who witnessed all this was already scolding him.
The reason is simple. This song is suspected of plagiarism. One of the victims on the list was Jay Chou.
"Sorrow of Leaving People" is a song released in February 2018. The "original author" is named Li. Once this song was released, it was accused by listeners of being a piece of cake. It was suspected of plagiarizing Renran 's "Listening to the Rain at Night in the Small House Outside the Mountains ", Xu Song's " Qingming Rain on ", etc. Among them, the ones that have been most criticized are undoubtedly Jay Chou's " Fireworks Easy to Cold " and " Hongchen Inn ".
Some music fans once compared the soundtracks of "Sorrow of Leaving People" and "Fireworks Easily Cold", and they were comparable to twin brothers.
But as we all know, it is extremely difficult to protect rights in the field of artistic creation. For example, the writer Zhuang Yu sued Guo Jingming for plagiarism as early as 2003. He won the lawsuit in the final trial in 2006, but Guo Jingming did not formally apologize until 2020.
Therefore, the "Leaving Sorrow" incident could only be left alone. Li also gained fame and fortune, and won the annual hot single award at the Asian Music Festival.
But now, these two contestants are singing in front of the victim,
singing a song and plundering the spoils of his labor. What is their motive? The answer to the question
is undoubtedly evident in the hot searches. That day, after Jay Chou heard "Sorrow of Leaving People", he showed a series of expressions that were hard to describe. These expressions successfully made this program a hot search, and the ratings were several times higher than usual.
Moreover, this is already the 7th episode, and all songs sung by the contestants must be discussed by the instructor and the program team.
In other words, this is most likely carefully planned by the program team.
This kind of behavior is not unique. When mango 's " Kuaiben " was doing a medley of ancient songs,
also deliberately connected "Sorrow of Leaving People" and "Fireworks Easily Cold", which earned enough discussion.
It’s just that all the traffic and discussion they have gained are based on the blood and tears of the original creator, Jay Chou.
