Jay Chou , who has not released a new album for the first time in six years, has released countless cups of milk tea and released a new album this time. At noon today, the premiere title song MV "The Greatest Work" was released. The MV of

still has the familiar flavor of Jay Chou. The blogger seems to have heard " Chapter 7 of the Night ", " In the Name of the Father ", "Peninsula Iron Box"... However, as a cultural blogger, Without going beyond the professional stuff of commenting on genres, today we will use screenshots as evidence to talk about "The Greatest Work" traveling back to the star-studded 1920 and paying tribute to which artists and their stunning masterpieces of that year.

MV started, Jaylen and his assistant went online, pretended to be employees, sneaked into the legendary department store Samaritaine in Paris, and played the ancient piano. PS: It is said that this was Jay Chou in order to create this new album, I spent millions of dollars to buy this antique piano. The scene changes, time goes back, and the two of them instantly travel to Paris in 1920. The first artist to appear on

is Rene Magritte. His masterpiece handed down from generation to generation is the oil painting "Children of Men".

In Jay Chou's MV, he appears to be a magician, but in fact he is the "muse" of artists. He conjured up a green apple and gave it to the young Magritte. And 44 years later, in 1964, Magritte did indeed create this self-portrait with a hanging green apple blocking himself.

Regarding the origin of this painting, Magritte’s answer is full of philosophical thoughts: “The things we see always obscure each other, and we always want to know what is blocked... This is not a simple matter of what is blocked. The question of what is not blocked... is a question of the difference in visibility between what is blocked and what is not blocked. "

This surrealist work would later appear in many films, such as "The Holy Mountain". , "The Game of Stealing the Sky", "Miracle Life", etc. It can be said that they have profoundly influenced the direction of artistic creation in the 21st century.

The second artist to appear is Salvador Dali. His representative work is "Eternal Memory".

In this MV, he and Dali were dining at the same table. While they were laughing and chatting, he handed Dali a twisted spoon that was transformed by magic.

As the Surrealist painter who had the most profound influence on later generations, Dali's world-famous painting style combines various distorted images of objects with weird dream-like images.

The third artist to appear is Sanyu . His masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation is "Nude with Bent Legs".

There are many paintings of Sanyu posted on the wall

I have to say that the Sanyu in the MV looks quite like the artist himself!

In 1919, Sanyu, together with Xu Beihong and others, went to Paris, the mecca of art at that time, to learn painting and continue his education. He pursued freedom throughout his life and created as he pleased. His family was backward and impoverished, and he died alone due to a gas leak.

After his death, his works were recognized by the world art community. The last nude work he created during his lifetime - "Nude with Bent Legs" sold for a sky-high price of 190 million. He is also hailed as the "Chinese-style Modigliani" by the Western art world.

The following lyrics, one sentence at a time, cue several great artists who have never appeared in real life and their legendary masterpieces -

"The boat goes back and forth quietly, Matisse's coast ( Henri Matisse's "The Beach" )

Let Van Gogh ignite the night under the starry sky ( Van Gogh 's "The Starry Sky")

The dream is too short-lived, the shouting on the Munch Bridge ( Munch 's "The Scream")

The excitement of this world, From the sunshine flowing in the lonely garden

, the air is swaying with the fragrance of flowers

I ask Monet for a favor, can you take a self-portrait?

So, following this melody, the fourth artist staggered on the stage, he is Claude ·Monet, his masterpieces "Sunrise·Impression" and "Water Lilies" are handed down from generation to generation.

This old man’s restoration degree is also very high!

The song points out the theme of these two paintings - "The sunrise goes back and forth in the port of impression, and the light wakes up the sleeping flowers and leaves." The first sentence refers to Monet 's most famous "Sunrise·Impression" ", the latter sentence hints at Monet's favorite painting theme in the second half of his life - water lilies.

Of course, the plot of the MV must also contain details of inspiration given by the "Muse". Jay Chou miraculously transformed a real water lily from the mural on the wall and gave it to Monet.

Next, the fifth artist appears - writer Xu Zhimo . He chatted and drank with Jay Chou in a cafe and showed him his handwritten poems on paper.

Let’s just say that Xu Zhimo is a little greasy...

"The grass is rejoicing for a light rain, and we love each other deeply in this world.

The pair of butterflies parked on Cambridge flew to the emerald green by the midnight river.

Regret was accidentally hidden in the poem page, it is a world that even a smile cannot penetrate

Because this is what it feels like to wave and say goodbye to the clouds.

What these lyrics constantly mention is a poem written by Xu Zhimo in Paris around 1920. Works such as "Farewell to Cambridge" and the prose "Qilin Claws in Paris". There is a small detail in the

screen. Jay Chou recorded the five greatest artists and their works in his notebook, corresponding to the ones mentioned above. So who is number six? What he drew was a piano with three question marks next to it.

Soon, the picture flashed, and the answer was ready to come out - he is Jay Chou's beloved pianist Chopin . In

MV, the scene immediately switches to Sanyu and Lang Lang being in the same room. The portrait he drew on paper, this obvious hooked nose , who else could it be if it wasn't Chopin? This also hints that Lang Lang's past life a hundred years ago may have been the great musician Chopin! At the end of

MV, pianist Lang Lang, who also has the ability to travel through time, appears in reality again. Holding a flashlight and a meaningful smile, he brings Jay Chou back to reality after he traveled around Paris in 1920.

What a song "The Greatest Work", what a feast for artists. Those artists who once wandered in the paradise of Paris in 1920 met across time and space in Jay Chou's MV. No wonder some netizens said that Jay Chou did not just compose a song or direct a MV, but gave everyone a solid aesthetic education lesson.

Are you satisfied with this aesthetic education class?
