Once upon a time, there was such a two-person music creation duo. One person wrote lyrics and the other composed music. The songs they created were rarely favored by others.
In the rejections one after another, the young man who wrote the lyrics planned to sing these songs himself.
The boss asked him to make 50 songs or demos in 10 days, and select a few of them to make an album for him. He completed this task, the company released his solo album "Jay"
On November 6, 2000, with the song " lovely woman ", the Chinese pop music world ushered in a new person, his name is Jay Chou , this is his first album "Jay", with which he officially made his debut. The
album consists of 10 songs. Using his English name Jay as the album name.
After the release of the album "Jay", it was well received in the Chinese music scene . His music style was very popular with fans and music critics, and the golden decade of Chinese pop music began.
That young man's name was Jay Chou, and the person who wrote lyrics for his songs before was called Fang Wenshan
At that time, Jay Chou released an album a year, " Fantasia " and " Octave Space " As the albums were released one after another, and the quality of each album was very high
After the release of Fantasy, Jay Chou's name and the nunchaku song in the album spread all over the country, and the "nunchuck" song was repeatedly circulated on various music stations.
In 2002, the album Eight Dimensions of Space was born. The song Dragon Fist in the album caused a sensation
With Dunhuang as the center of the Northeast and East
The coastline of this nation is like a bow
The Great Wall is like a dream waiting to be shot for five thousand years.
Mongolian Plateau What is the content of "The Wind Going South"
The lyrics are grand and majestic, with nationally representative images such as the Great Wall, Dunhuang and the Mongolian Plateau appearing, crossing the east of the Yellow River, climbing to the top of Mount Tai , and then opening the sky with the right fist and transforming into a dragon.
Because of this song, CCTV finally decided to invite Jay Chou to participate in the 2004 Spring Festival Gala.
The 2003 album " Ye Huimei ". My favorite song in this album is "East Wind Break". The style of music is beautiful, especially the beginning of the song. Pipa and the Erhu solo at the end are very infectious
For a long time, when I was riding to school in the morning, I wore an MP3 player and played this song in a loop in my headphones
In 2004, the album " Qilixiang 》
was released. I still remember the day there was a long queue in front of the city's largest video store.
The album Qilixiang was sold out, and the two girls in line in front of me even got into a fight.
The most impressive one among the albums was " My Site 》, instead of the title song Qilixiang
because this song was the promotional song of China Mobile M-Zone at that time. It was an era before smart phones were popularized. In addition to importing music on the mobile phone, you could only use text messages to request songs and download them. M-Zone at that time The music package is cheap and provides a lot of songs, which is very cost-effective.
's spokespersons at the time were Jay Chou, SHE and Wilber Pan . These have become the tears of the times.
went on stage to receive the award as soon as the nocturne played.
That year, Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November" won major awards in the Chinese music industry. As soon as he went on stage to receive the award, "Nocturne" from the album would play as the background music.
In addition to "Nocturne", the album's "Hair Like Snow" and "Maple" were regarded as masterpieces at the time. That year, he also participated in the filming of the movie "Initial D" and played Takumi in the movie
When Takumi won the competition, he discovered that his beloved Natsuki was actually a girl engaged in a special job. He sadly chose to leave
and head north, leaving Season With You
. In that era when Japanese and Korean songs were popular, he could perform at the award ceremony Say it loudly, Chinese music is the most awesome
At that time, many media said that he was crazy, but he did have the capital to be crazy.
In the following years, he released the albums " Still Fantasy " and " High-quality albums such as "I'm Very Busy " have allowed us to hear masterpieces such as "Thousands of Miles Away", "The Fragrance of Daoxiang", " Blue and White Porcelain " and "Lanting Preface".
Jay Chou attaches great importance to the MV of the song. Generally, MVs are incidental to the song, but he turned the song into an incidental to the MV.
includes the recent new album
In 2007, his first film " The Untold Secret ", which he directed and starred in, was released.
Although it is the first film directed by Jay Chou, the details in the film, the switching of distance and the blur of light, The use of symmetrical compositions seems to be from the hands of an old director.
In 2011, Jay Chou released the album "exclamation mark". The style of this album is very different from the previous albums. This album is very different. It received a lot of criticism because many people at the time could not accept this style.
Many people think that Jay Chou is on his last legs and has exhausted his talents. Many songs in the album are considered by people to be just slobbery songs.
But we discovered many years later that it was Jay Chou who was too far ahead
Recently I found that many box friends were discussing Jay Chou, and I saw many box friends born in the 2000s talking about Jay Chou uncle
At that moment I realized Jay Chou is over 40 years old. He has been in the industry for 20 years. From a young boy to a middle-aged man, he has a child and has become a father. Many people say that Jay Chou's views on love are outdated and not suitable for this era.
But I think that although it is difficult for us to achieve the kind of love described in the song, relationships do not have to be together to be considered complete. Love is silent companionship, feelings do not have to be vigorous.
Just like our parents, although most of the days after marriage are very dull, they still accompany each other for many years.
I used to think that Jay Chou has changed, but in the end I found that what has changed is We, and he seems to have never changed, he still has the same music style as before
Although we can hear that his voice is no longer as good as it was back then
After six years, Jay Chou finally decided to release a new album, and the album is named " The Greatest "Work ", I hope Jay Chou will still bring us surprises this time
Nowadays, many people are fighting to the death in the world of traffic. They like to use data to prove the excellence of idols, rather than the quality of songs. Maybe this is why people miss Jay Chou. Cyndi Wang The reasons for the golden age of singers
Jay Chou’s singing accompanied the post-80s, 90s and 00s generation,
From the Walkman era, the ring-tone era, to the current App era, accompanied by his singing, we stepped into campus from children to young adults. Say goodbye to the romantic campus era as adults enter the society, and then from the youth entering the society to the prime of life
We can no longer look up to an idol in this era, but learn to lower our heads to discover ourselves and find them in songs. My own youthful memories
