This article, I want to leave it to Jay Chou .
has been listening to Jay Chou 's music in 2004, and it has been 20 years since today.
Jay Chou’s music has accompanied the youth of our generation along the way.
I think that among Jay Chou’s many fans, perhaps the post-80s generation will have a deeper feeling about his music.
Because the post-90s generation heard Jay Chou’s music in a young, confused, and even a little rebellious age. But his music is like a good medicine to soothe the soul, accompanying us through that different years.
Nowadays, whenever the night is late, if you accidentally hear some classic old songs by Jay Chou, that kind of inexplicable feelings and sadness will arise naturally.
Literary works are very healing functions because they often contain the ideals and world of the creator.
Jay Chou and his creative partners have built a wild but sunny spiritual world for all listeners through moving music. The love songs he created are poignant, graceful but not depressed, and the quick songs he created are high-spirited, positive but not paranoid. Especially a series of Chinese-style music created by him and Fang Wenshan , the leading Chinese-style lyricist in the Chinese-speaking world, has pushed the charm and charm of traditional Chinese classical culture to a higher level.
In the final analysis, Jay Chou is just a musician. What impressed everyone is his musical works.
I heard Fang Wenshan tell the story of his and Jay Chou’s process of creating music. He often had a sense of picture first, and then composed music and lyrics. And this sense of picture is often the soul and soul of the music created by Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan.
If you want to truly appreciate the artistic conception of this music, perhaps the audience can only put themselves in the shoes of that picture.
So, as far as personal experience is concerned, many of Jay Chou’s popular music always feel dull when he first heard it. Even if you listen repeatedly, the same is true.
There are only accidental time, accidental place, and accidental scenes. When you suddenly hear this song coming into your mind, you will find that the charm and realm of this song are waiting for you here.
This scenario may be when you were riding the subway, you accidentally heard the melody of a certain song of Jay Chou from a video played by someone else's mobile phone. Although the notes were small and slight; maybe you walked through a noisy street, a certain song played in a loop in a store, and the climax of the song made you feel like a current flowing through your heart; maybe you passed by a certain hall, and there might be a playback device in the hall, and the MV was playing the MV of a certain song of Jay Chou, and the picture of that MV made you stop and watch for a long time.
To be honest, many of Jay Chou's songs attracted me in some accidental situations, such as " Simple Love ", " Peninsula Iron Box " in the early years and later " Black Sweater ", " Tianya Passerby ", and "Time of a Song".
still remember that in 2008, Jay Chou sang " Blue and White Porcelain " on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage. Behind him, the magnificent screen of the blue and white porcelain with unique Chinese classical charm played the beautiful and circulating pictures of blue and white porcelain, especially the gorgeous and quaint glaze , the patterns seemed to jump out of the picture, so lively and elegant.
In this situation, Jay Chou's unique singing style is combined with the moving music performed by traditional Chinese musical instruments, and the exquisite lyrics created by Fang Wenshan that can compare with ancient sages, cannot fully describe the beauty of Chinese history and art.
I admit that this song "Blue and White Porcelain" really intoxicated me.
After writing 28 Chinese-style songs , he wrote in "Turkish Ice Cream" in "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" in 2016: "Host of the Chinese style, you must have lanterns; whoever says you must write Chinese style, you must have Shangjiao Zhengyu Palace; I simply get off the car myself and direct the traffic in the music scene ."
In this MV of "The Greatest Works", Jay Chou selected 9 artists and their representative works of art, and there are 3 Chinese artists.
One is Chang Yu, one is Xu Zhimo , and the other is Lang Lang .
One is subverting, one is romance, one is echoing.
What is Chinese style? What is China?
Different eras will have different answers.
