The website
B even opened a barrage with special effects of flying diagonally. This was so good that it confused my face.
Hot searches on Weibo also exploded. Less than half an hour after the MV was released, "Jay Chou's Prelude" ranked first in the hot searches. After a while, many hot searches about Jay Chou appeared on the hot search, such as "The Madness of the Era, the King of Music", " Liu Genghong Jay Chou's new song may be a new song", "the greatest work", etc.
Netizens are discussing so eagerly. In addition to saying that Jay Chou has finally released a new song, more people are saying: The style of the new song is still the same. The familiar Jay Chou is back!
This song is indeed filled with the flavor of early Jay Chou. From the melody to the arrangement, it is a bit gorgeous and graceful. It reminds people of Jay Chou's "Turkish Ice Cream". The young man shows off his skills from beginning to end, with his arrogance. , even arrogantly, some people heard the flavor of "Prague Square" composed by Jay Chou. The style of the lyrics also uses the word "crazy", which reminds people of "Besieged on All Sides" he wrote very early on.
As for the singing method, some netizens pointed out unabashedly -
In short, Jay Chou is back, bringing his music, favorite magic, and the idea of time travel.

and Chinese poet Xu Zhimo .
and Chinese pianist Lang Lang who made a guest appearance.
In the afternoon, Jay Chou responded to why this song is called "The Greatest Work": "Anyway, this work has powerful musicians such as Lang Lang and Ray joining in, as well as these great artists mentioned in the lyrics, to me Say, it is the greatest work!"
Every time Jay Chou releases a single, people will discuss whether Jay Chou has exhausted his talents? Is Jay Chou still creative? Is Jay Chou obsolete? The same goes for "The Greatest Work" this time. Some people say that gathering so many great artists in the MV to pay tribute and intentionally allowing the audience to explore ideas and coincidences is a clever move in itself. Mr. Yixiang wants to say that this is the truth and there is nothing wrong with it.
But when it comes to music, there is another interesting logic.
From the perspective of professional music critics, they will analyze the changes in Jay Chou's creativity and 20 years ago, whether there is progress or just self-replication, but they find that Jay Chou's fans have never asked for their idol. "To make progress", or even echo the past "I have a taste for myself" is the best! Nowadays, domestic entertainment fans are used to telling young idols to "make progress" and "work hard", but this did not happen to Jay Chou.
The rules of the entertainment industry will become a special case for Jay Chou. Because the benchmark for evaluating him was set by himself 20 years ago. Over the years, his creation has always been a unique existence, and so many people still listen to it today. In addition to the inevitable childhood filter, another reason is the foil of his peers. After all, his creations in the early years, those melodies, arrangements, and those whimsical ideas that seemed a bit offensive to ask the predecessors, are still not outdated even when listened to today, and are still favored by idols who are less advanced in the entertainment industry. Can't catch up. Who makes colleagues stretch their hips too much? In today's entertainment industry, you are already outstanding if you don't lose your ability.
People's evaluation of artistic creation is "unfair". Since Jay Chou has taken the advantage, fans look at him with doting eyes, even though he still has a character that remains standing in the hearts of fans - - Ace Pigeon. He really knows how to delay the release of his new album! He said he was going to make a debut every year and released his pigeons every year. Naturally, he wanted to be named the biggest ace pigeon in the music industry. His last album was already 2016's "Jay Chou's Bedside Stories". Someone summarized the timeline of Jay Chou's responses to fans' new songs since his last new album. It was like a series, and it was that kind of story. A large-scale face-slapping scene~ (Friendly reminder, view from bottom to top)
has not released an album for so many years in the music industry. He has only released singles to maintain popularity, and even relies on fans to urge new songs every year and establish the main theme. Occasionally updating the progress will bring up the topic, which is Jay Chou.
When the name "The Greatest Work" was announced, some people speculated that this might be Jay Chou's last studio album. Regardless of whether this rumor is accurate or not, the album will be released on the 15th. Listen to it then and see if there will be a "greater" work than the title song~
