Recently, Jay Chou released a new album, which caused a craze on the Internet. In addition to Jay Chou , Fang Wenshan has also been repeatedly mentioned by fans. So who is Fang Wenshan?
Anyone who is a fan of Jay Chou will definitely know Fang Wenshan. Fang Wenshan and Jay Chou, one writes lyrics and the other writes music, and are known as the golden partners in the Chinese pop music world.
Before Jay Chou became famous, he met Fang Wenshan. The two of them worked behind the scenes at a record company. At that time, Jay Chou's music style was considered very weird, and few singers were willing to use his songs. Similarly, Fang Wenshan's lyrics are also quite weird. Others write about love, love, love, but he writes in a way that is incomprehensible. Therefore, the two people are in the same situation. As the saying goes, they are both fallen from the world, so they come together. It's almost a given.
Finally, under Yang Junrong’s strong recommendation, the record company decided to give Jay Chou a chance to release a record. Jay Chou wrote 50 songs in one breath, and finally selected 10 to produce his first album "JAY". As soon as the "JAY" album was released, it quickly became a hit in the market and brought a craze to the Chinese pop music scene.
Jay Chou has been out of control since then and has become the most representative figure in the Chinese pop music scene after 2000. Fang Wenshan, as Jay Chou's official lyricist, has also become famous and has received constant invitations for lyrics.
In the album "JAY", the most eye-catching song is "女子". When "Girls" came out, it was a ground-breaking song. Whether it was composition, arrangement, singing or lyrics, it was unprecedented. There have been types.
Today in 2022, if you listen to this song "Lady" again, you will still feel that it is not outdated at all and has no trace of the times. If it were released today, it would still be the most forward-looking song in the Chinese music world One of the song creations.
Similarly, it was this song "Lady" that made Fang Wenshan's lyrics appreciated by the public, and also established his status as Jay Chou's preferred lyricist. When it comes to the title song "爱在 BC" from Jay Chou's second album " Fantasy ", Fang Wenshan's talent is fully revealed. After
, a series of Fang Wenshan's lyric works have become more familiar to more people, such as "Thousands of Miles Away", " Blue and White Porcelain ", etc. His sentence " The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain, and I am waiting for you " is simply wonderful , and was even used as a Chinese language test for the college entrance examination.
In 2007, Jay Chou set up his own business and established Jewel Music Company together with Yang Junrong and Fang Wenshan. Therefore, Fang Wenshan is actually one of the company bosses. Compared with Jay Chou's group of younger brothers, Fang Wenshan is his equal. Level friends.
Fang Wenshan originally wanted to make movies, but by mistake, writing lyrics became his main job. However, he always had a movie dream. Later, he also became his own director and filmed "hear the sound of rain".
Anyone who has met Fang Wenshan will feel that he is very humble. He has the temperament of a traditional Chinese literati. He looks very artistic, always polite, shy, and dressed plainly. He likes to wear canvas shoes very much. I saw him always wearing canvas shoes when attending events ten years ago. In 2022, he still wears canvas shoes, even the style is exactly the same.
For me personally, Fang Wenshan has a special meaning to me, because I like literature and love writing. In fact, I am more influenced by Fang Wenshan's lyrics. Although I liked reading various books when I was a child, and also read some classics and youth literature works by , Han Han, and others, but those were too long and I never thought about practicing writing.
Until I started to like Jay Chou's songs and became crazy about Fang Wenshan's meaningful lyrics, I began to imitate his writing style and write some sentences myself. At first, I only used simple metaphors and other figures of speech. Later, the more I practiced, the more I wrote, and my writing became much better than before. and then slowly started to write more words, and no longer worried about how to write the composition.
Therefore, Fang Wenshan actually has a special meaning to my growth. He is now in his 50s and is still unmarried. Every time he attends an event, he still looks the same as he did 20 years ago. Whenever I see him in a video interview, I can feel his kindness. He is like a friend, and there is no sense of distance between celebrities and ordinary people.
Jay Chou has been married for several years. I hope Fang Wenshan can get married soon, and I hope he can continue to write more beautiful works.
