Why can Jay Chou's "Waiting for You after Class" explode the circle of friends?

Jay Chou is 39 years old. But this man, who is close to the age of no doubt, is still singing youth.

Before the birthday of 65438+ 10/8, Jay Chou's birthday wish was to produce a single. At that time, he joked: "If you can't do it ... forget it!"

Results At 00:00 on the birthday, Jay Chou released the latest single "Waiting for you to finish class". The lyrics are all written by Jay Chou.

Waiting for you after class is about a young man who regrets that he didn't study hard and didn't get into the same university as the girl he likes, so he rented an apartment near the girl and waited for her silently, playing the piano and writing love letters for her.

This song, Wen Qing, Healing Department, Campus, Sweet Abuse, or Jay Chou, or more like the work of Jay Chou who just debuted. This year, Jay Chou also made her debut at 18.

I don't know when, saying that Jay Chou is our youth has become a very vulgar thing, but people still say it.

This singer who was despised by many adults just after her debut, 18 sang 464 songs, and still maintained a strong originality, which not only created the Chinese style of Chinese music, but also those early hip-hop songs were not outdated, but also very fresh.

More importantly, compared with those hip-hop songs full of female drugs, "Listen to Mom" is simply to rehabilitate China hip-hop in advance.

1979 65438+ 10/8 When Jay Chou was born in Taipei, his mother Ye Huimei probably didn't think that this child could be popular in Chinese music for so many years.

In his 39-year life, Jay Chou's music and his people have influenced so many people that Jay Chou's life is no longer isolated, but inextricably linked with the world. These people who spent the whole night brushing Jay Chou's new songs on the night of 65438+ 10/8 said that Jay Chou was his own young man and grew old with Jay Chou, and they * * * enriched Jay Chou's life.

They may be qualified to say: Hey, that Jay Chou in Class Two, Grade Three, stay for a while and wait for you to finish class!

I'll wait for you after class. Jay Chou is almost 40 years old.

Jay Chou, who is almost 40 years old, sings back to her 18 years ago.

"Waiting for you to finish class" probably sang the feeling of Jay Chou's first love, or rather, the first love of each of us.

As Jay Chou himself said, "This song is a birthday present for himself and his fans."

It is said that the melody of this song suddenly popped up in Jay Chou's mind at the concert celebration banquet one day, so he went back to his room and wrote the whole song, and then it took him a week to complete the production, and there was this song-when you were finished.

"In order to meet unexpectedly, I rented an apartment in the alley where you live. Why didn't I study hard in high school for three years and didn't get into the same university as you? I'm a little worried. I looked at the lights in your classroom. You haven't finished class yet. "

Before, fans were worried about whether he could deliver the goods on time, and the result was really a promise. It is said that these days, Jay Chou not only entered the recording studio to sing and produce, but also invited an illustrator to draw the lyrics version of the MV. The illustrator drew only one picture in three days according to the lyrics story. MV can see the illustrated version of Jay Chou playing guitar under the tree, lying on the school playground where the girl who has a crush on him has been admitted and watching the stars …

Jay Chou joked: "This song actually encourages fans to work hard and get into the same school as the people they like!"

In fact, the joke is not bad, but such a song will still surprise fans, because Jay Chou actually used this song to return to the starting point and his youth.

Many fans who wish to hear Jay Chou sum up their life will be disappointed. When you finish class, present the simplest youth. Those teenagers' waiting, childish and desperate, once hurt their hearts, which is the true colors of love and youth.

Jay Chou sang the whole song lightly, showing a kind of minimalism and introversion. There are no heart-wrenching lyrics, no painful suffering, no tearful arrangement. Jay Chou didn't want to do that. He doesn't want to consume the sufferings of youth, but to appreciate the beauty of youth.

If one word is used to describe this song, it is a clean little love song, just like Jay Chou, a Chinese singer in Qingming Festival in 18.

18 sang 464 songs. This Jay Chou seems not bad.

18, Jay Chou released 14 album, sang more than 400 songs and gave more than 200 concerts.

However, before becoming popular, Jay Chou was probably the author who was rejected by superstars the most.

"Nunchaku" was rejected by May without hesitation.

"Tears Know" was also vomited by Andy Lau-"Tears know, what do tears know?" Later, this song was given to Wen Lan, whose tears didn't know anything.

Jay Chou, who is not optimistic, will probably be like this all his life if he encounters a stage like the voice. Fortunately, it was a record era when talent shows were not so popular. Jay Chou's creativity was almost squeezed out by Wu Zongxian.

The story between him and Wu Zongxian is definitely better than the movie.

At that time, encouraged by his cousin, he signed up for an entertainment program-Super Newcomer King.

The performance was terrible, but the original work attracted the attention of the judge Wu Zongxian, so he asked this person to work as a music assistant in his music company and write songs.

As a result, as soon as Jay Chou started writing, Wu Zongxian called Jay Chou to the office face to face, told him that the song he wrote was terrible, and then threw it into the waste paper pocket.

The stories of powerful people are probably legendary. As a result, when Wu Zongxian walked into the office the next morning, the young man's new achievements were already on the table. On the third and fourth days, he continued to play.

One night, Wu Zongxian returned to the studio. As soon as he entered, he saw a man lying on the ground. He was shocked. As a result, it was Jay Chou.

Finally, he was shocked by the silent young man.

In the month of 1999, 65438+February, there was a famous ten-day contract: if Jay Chou could write 50 songs, Wu Zongxian would help him choose 10 records.

By the end of 2000, this cashed-in album was Jay Chou's debut album Jay. To tell the truth, I especially want to know what are the 40 songs that were scrapped?

You have probably heard many songs of this album, such as "Star Love", "Black Humor" and "Tornado", as well as Jay Chou's first Chinese song "Lady", which is still not out of date.

This album also marks the birth of Jay Chou.

The album won three awards in one fell swoop: Best Pop Music Singing Album, Best Producer and Best Composer in Taiwan Province Province.

The next second album, Jay Chou turned into a tornado. Fan Texi, you are all familiar with it.

After listening to these songs, you will know that Love in BC is a great attempt of Fang Zhouzi, Simple Love created the style of Zhou's love songs, and I can't open my mouth is still popular in ktv.

The third album is Octave Space. In fact, the quality is not bad at all, but the next one is very powerful and hidden.

The fourth album is "Ye Huimei", which officially opened the Chinese style era of "Direct Answer".

It was after this album that Jay Chou not only became the third China singer to appear on the cover of Time magazine after Wang, but also appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Evening. A Chinese idol is unstoppable.

But more importantly, when we went back to listen to these Jay Chou songs, we found that he really dumped some hip-hop stars who were good at taking his sister home hundreds of blocks earlier.

Listening to your mother is the most traditional filial piety in China culture.

Dad, I came back about domestic violence.

"Stop the war, stop the sorrow" calls for world peace.

Snail encourages young people to make progress, and later this song was included in primary and secondary school textbooks.

Xiang Tao is about how to face the trough of life.

Terraces tell us to protect the environment.

Blue and white porcelain can be directly used as the theme song of CCTV's National Treasure.

Behind these songs, there is a rich and positive Jay Chou, who was really misunderstood.

But even a genius like Jay Chou can't escape the periodic law of music. 1The album1111released on Singles' Day on October 0 became the most questioned album in Jay Chou. Ordinary fans hear the melody obviously worse than before, and music critics are even more eager to question: Jay Chou, can't you write anything new?

Later "12 New Works" and "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" probably only gradually improved, but it was still not the peak Jay Chou.

The golden age of recording is also passing. Inter-generational sales are only 5% of Fan Texi's peak.

Jay Chou, is it really hopeless?

Why is Jay Chou not old? Why are we still waiting for him to finish class?

In fact, people will get old eventually.

Especially for musicians, it is almost impossible to keep originality at its peak all one's life.

In every album of Jay Chou in recent years, there are always one or two songs that are very popular, such as "Confession Balloon" in "Bedside Story", but that's not the case now. The whole album is classic.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about admitting this.

Jay Chou became Jay Chou's mentor.

Earlier, some media reported that Jay Chou originally intended to leave "New Songs" to Na Ying, but was later retained by the program unit at a high price, and the reward per episode was raised to about 3.2 million RMB. As a result, Jay Chou became the most senior tutor of this old music variety.

Senior tutor, this is probably unexpected for Jay Chou, a teenager who worked in a restaurant in his early years and often played songs for guests.

But Jay Chou is still Jay Chou.

This man obviously still retains his youthful heart.

He will sing "Red Dust Inn" for a 70-year-old fan at a concert, because the old man said he liked his Chinese style. Well, this thing is very similar to what Jay Chou would do.

When I met a fan on the road and asked for his autograph, I stood there to help him walk his dog and wait for him to get the book.

When I go to the Mayday concert as a guest, I will find my own stalk and say, "Many of my fans will say that Jay Chou is their youth and Mayday is their life. I seldom listen to other people's songs, only listen to Mayday. " Then he said that he would organize a "Friday" with Mayday, and finally "Friday" sang the first single "Nunchaku" live.

But he's obviously grown up.

Jay Chou married Hannah Quinlivan in Europe on his birthday (20 15 1.08). No matter what netizens are saying, this woman gave her the best wedding, as long as she liked it. European castles, princes and princesses, he plays the piano by himself.
