Speaking of Jay Chou , everyone should know, but do you know who is supporting his songs behind him?
Jay Chou, his royal lyricist is Fang Wenshan . This person is so amazing. It is because of his lyrics and Jay Chou's songs that he surpassed Korean pops for more than 20 years. Many years ago, Korean pop music rushed into the mainland, sweeping major shopping malls and street shops. In an instant, the music scene was caught off guard by this Korean wave.
2012, Jiangnan style, which was popular at the time, instantly exploded the entire country and became the standard equipment for square dance at that time. In this year, only "The Most Charming National Style" could compete with it. Seeing this situation, Jay Chou couldn't sit still. Whether at the award ceremony or attending events, he emphasized one sentence, "Is Korean wave very strong? Our Hualiu is the most awesome." Since then, Jay Chou even used the lyrics from " Compendium of Materia Medica " to warn those people. This song is not only Jay Chou’s attitude, but also the inner monologue of the lyricist Fang Wenshan.
Some people say that Jay Chou turned the tide and forced the Korean wave back, but everyone ignored Fang Wenshan who was standing behind him. However, few people know that at first, no one looked down on each other. One was unknown and the other was poor, but who would have thought that the two of them, who were tired of each other, became the golden partner. The two cooperated to create the Chinese-style era that belonged to them.
In 1969, Fang Wenshan was born in Taipei. His parents were both workers. When he was in school, he was decisive in Chinese, which led to his failure in the college entrance examination. During his military service, he became interested in screenwriters. Because of his limited culture, he regretted it a little, so he simply signed up for classes after he was discharged from the army. During that time, I worked odd jobs during the day and classes at night. But three years have passed, and the cruelty of reality has also led to the first love girlfriend turning around and leaving. Fang Wenshan turned grief into strength, and wrote more than 100 poems in a year and sent them to record companies respectively.
Finally had a miracle. More than a month later, when I finished reading his lyrics, Wu Zongxian called him and took him into his company. Jay Chou was eliminated in the rookie draft, but was discovered by Wu Zongxian and recruited him into his own company. In this way, the company with only four employees began.
Until 2001, Jay Chou released his first album "JAY", which had the ancient style and charm of rap , which shocked the entire Chinese music scene, and also allowed Fang Wenshan to nominate the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyrics. And that song " is like snow " makes people sigh at Fang Wenshan's talent.
