How to treat Jay Chou rationally?

I am a loyal fan who has loved him 12 years, but his classics are beyond my reach.

Now let's go back to five years ago. What was your impression of Jay Chou at that time? It should be like this: wear a cap (the brim is still low), leave the sea to cover your eyes, don't talk, and laugh shyly. This image is really ingrained. Even today, when we mention him, our first reaction is such an autistic genius, always accompanied by piano and cello. ...

But in fact, Jay Chou five years ago is not the teenager we remember. From then on, he began to change slowly.

Time spent making music has become a chicken rib.

People always mention "I'm Busy" and "Capricorn" when they talk about Jay Chou's songs becoming bad, saying that from this point on, Jay Chou has become less classic, and an album has only one or two good songs, which is really the best in Jiang Lang. In fact, I also doubted whether his musical talent was exhausted, but his improvisation in variety shows always made me scream! Please refer to the three-key composition/program /view/4VttFWfh6cg/ that shocked the audience in Happy Camp.

Therefore, the so-called Jiang Lang talents do not exist.

When people talk about the peak of Jay Chou (the peak means that he has gone downhill since then), some people say it is Ye Huimei, some people say it is Chopin in November, some people say it is Qilixiang, and some people say it is still Fan Texi, but the landlord thinks it is not.

Jay Chou's real peak is the unspeakable secret score.

(Audition address/album /335 137).

This album is mainly composed of pure music, and the theme song "Unspeakable Secrets" consists of several interludes sung by others. Every music, every song, makes my pores open. It is an exaggeration to say that Jay Chou in this soundtrack is simply the upper body of Joe Hisaishi.

This album was made in 2007, the same year as the movie "Unspeakable Secrets". In June this year, 1 1 released the amazing album "I'm Busy". What does the quality of the two albums show day by day?

It shows that his time this year, almost all his time and all his efforts, were used to make his film debut "Unspeakable Secrets".

The pictures in the movie can be used as pictorial pictures, and the original music is beautiful enough to be worshipped as a classic of classical music.

It is hard for me to imagine that a person will treat a music album that is not difficult for him with the same energy when he is wholeheartedly trying to make a challenge perfect. Even if he is Jay Chou.

Jay Chou and his diehard fans often say that Jay Chou writes songs very quickly, and even a movie host can write a song at will in his spare time. This is actually true, but even his idol Chopin devoted his life to music. If I have other ideas, I don't believe I can continue to create classics.

Jay Chou also has an idol, which made him enter the idol of pop music-Jacky Cheung. Song Shen is a singer. He also acted in movies, but people only call him Song Shen when they mention him. I think Jay should admire Jacky Cheung's attitude towards music.

There is a lot to say about this. Finally, Jay Chou wrote 50 songs and chose 10 album. In Jay Chou in 2007, there were two songs in "I'm Busy" that could hear the melody in "The Secret Music I Can't Say".

From a gifted teenager to the king of music-there are also changes in status, personality and mood.

For those who don't know Jay Chou, he is pretending to be cool and handsome with 13 personality, but for his fans, it has long been known that he is a childish and heroic boy. But in his early years, he became less and less bored. With the success of my career, the faces of people around me have gradually changed from disdain to worship. This product quickly changed from a show to a show, and more and more childish personality penetrated into music creation.

From the beginning of maltose, the landlord smelled this pungent childish taste, but I didn't expect it to get out of hand. "Sweet" has killed me, and "Sunshine Otaku" and "Princess Disease" shot several times on my dead body.

This is a great shock to fans who have long known his hidden character, not to mention passers-by listeners who don't know much about him.

In addition to personality changes, there is also a very important point, that is, mood.

In Jay Chou's previous music, in addition to provocative rap, the most eye-catching ones were actually the love songs of those weeks. From not being able to speak, to going back to the past, to breaking strings and going south, as soon as his voice sounded, it brought out people's deep sadness. Perhaps it's because Jay Chou is autistic, the environment is not so superior as it is now, and he has not been held by the name of the king and superstar. In fact, the voice of the outside world was like this: Jay Chou won't be popular for long, but it's just a firework, and it will soon decline. How can a stubborn person make this prediction come true? There is only one way to break the curse, and that is to make the best music.

Determination, dissatisfaction, loneliness, these emotions when they are not affirmed are full of hearts, so the works written in this way are naturally easy to substitute many emotions.

Don't do anything at what age-it's really goose bumps to see a 35-year-old man selling cute!

I began to like Jay Chou when I was in junior high school. At that time, I was a girl, full of girlish troubles (Oh). At that time, Jay Chou sang simple love, code words and lovely women, and I couldn't open my mouth. Most of the MVs are small and fresh, coquettish men and women holding hands, wearing cloth shoes and carrying schoolbags, but the people in the painting are not in reality.

Later, when I went to high school, my girlhood became more poetic. Holding a copy of Xu Murong's "Ancient Costume Literature and Art" every day (continue to vomit). Boys in my class also try their best to be cool boys (spit), and our Jay Chou has also completed a gorgeous transformation from youth to maturity.

The strange screams and prayers in Ye Huimei, In the Name of My Father, and the sigh of time changes in Direct Answer all make people say: This man is really talented, how can others think of writing songs like this!

This gorgeous artist style continued to Still Fan Texi, and the cover of the album was all dark tones. On the cover, Jay Chou is either wearing a dress or a military uniform. Expression, angle and musical style can only be described in three words: musician.

During the period from debut to now, Jay Chou's growth is in step with ours.

But from "I'm Busy", a sense of disobedience appeared. We are still getting old, and Jay Chou, he! Reverse growth! Yes! Him! Fall in love! Sell cute!

If "Busy Cowboy" is still a good attempt, then the next road of selling cute really makes me unbearable.

Some people may say that many people who like him now are post-90 s. Is it not good to cater to the audience?

Maybe it's nothing to others. But it's Jay Chou, please!

Jay Chou's music never catered to anyone from the beginning. There are always music critics who say that he started an era. Why? Because before him, there was no such singing. Anything can be written into the lyrics, anything can be arranged, and anything can be used as an instrument. You can't think of it without him. This is Jay Chou. If you do what you like because who likes it, I'll tell you the truth, everyone will do it better than him.

The most important thing is to have younger fans, but Jay, you have to see your age. 1979, born, 35 years old. Looking at Fan Texi's previous style development, you should have mastered music by now, right?

Listen to this year's "ukulele", a few words are sung like this (probably the lyrics are memorized):

Charm is not necessarily a bikini. Your smile is already very Hawaiian. You don't have to go to Hawaii for a holiday. Coconut trees are planted in my yard.

The lyrics are sweet enough, and Jay Chou's singing makes people want to scratch the wall.

There is almost no team advantage. One person holds up half the sky alone, and the immortal can't be perfect.

Friends who like Jay Chou may find that the songs of Jay Chou's recent albums have a common feature: thinness.

Previous songs, from the Indian's old turtledove to Huo Yuanjia, Chapter 7 of the Dark Night, have different styles and kinds of unspeakable secrets, all of which have god-like arrangements. Any element can be the finishing touch, and any sound can be a perfect chord. And most importantly, Jay Chou's best concentrated musical instruments: piano, cello, guitar, can always be the main line in the arrangement. In addition, his own voice also has the overlap of different parts, which makes each song quite full and substantial. Besides, it's called hitting the floor.

And Jay Chou's team, there is a very talented person, is Hong Jingyao. Almost all the previous albums were arranged by this person, and this person is also the person who has the best way to maximize the beauty of Jay Chou's music.

Post an experience of Hong Jingyao:

A, early EZ band members as keyboard players.

B. Attend famous singers such as Emil Wakin Chau, Yu Chengqing and Julie and important concerts at home and abroad.

C, now specializing in record production, arrangement and music creation.

D, Jin Si is the arranger, and the album includes dozens of singers such as Emil Wakin Chau, Yu Chengqing, Eric Suen Yiu Wai, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Liming, Zhou Zhiping, Lan Xinmei, Jeff Chang Shin-Che Xinche, Xu Ruyun and Wan Fang.

E, I have compiled nearly 800 songs since my debut.

F, composing the first song of my life, Years of Ups and Downs, with Hong Ronghong as the lead singer, is a masterpiece of the transformation of Taiwanese songs and won the best song of the year.

G, my first album "Hong Ronghong/Love Your Life" won the 1996 Golden Melody Award for Best Producer.

H, 1995 took Emil Wakin Chau's "Secrets of the Century" as the theme song of the Chinese version of 1995, and participated in the performance of "World AIDS Day" with the famous Japanese musician MR and CHILDREN.

I, 1996 Taiwan Province and Geng Chengqing's MTV Unplugged Concert in London, England (the first Taiwan Province artist and band)

J, 1996 Emil Wakin Chau World Tour Concert was performed in Chinese mainland, Britain, Canada and other places.

K, 1997 Creation and Performance of the Opening Theme Song of Emil Wakin Chau Super World Tour Concert

Hong Jingyao is an anomaly among domestic arrangers. He is not only a multinational bilingual arranger (famous works such as Black Dog on the Peak in Harlem), but also the best producer of Golden Melody Award (Life of Love), an artist who has performed albums, and even a hot keyboard player in domestic concerts (such as Emil Wakin Chau concert tour) ... He is one of the few people who are active in front of the stage, behind the scenes and on the stage.

The last song that Hong Jingyao arranged for Jay Chou was "Huo Yuanjia" (please point out any mistakes), and the arrangement of this song was also the arrangement of "Blue Storm". It is said that Jay Chou told Hong that he wanted to use the arrangement of "Blue Storm" and then add Chinese style elements to re-create a song ... "Huo Yuanjia" is so thick.

Today, due to Jay Chou's noble sentiment of supporting new people and helping friends, his songs have been adapted by Huang Yuxun and Lin Maike. These two are also very talented people, who have arranged many albums in Jay Chou, but since Hong Jingyao bid farewell to the team, these two people have gone to endless repetition and have no inspiration. ...

The arrangement of Chapter 7 of the Night was arranged by Lin Maike (with Zhong Xingmin * * *), and the drums, rhythms and musical instruments in every place were just right. A suspenseful and mysterious music has become a classic.

In the album "Exclamation Point" of 20 1 1, there is a song called "Qin Shang", which is a masterpiece from composition to lyrics, but this sad arrangement has turned the whole song into a dull and ordinary work. (The arrangement of this song is Huang Yuxun)

When it comes to arrangement, Jay Chou, the Almighty King, often tries, such as "Lady" and "Her Eyelashes", all of which are excellent works. But now there is a problem. He wrote and sang songs for a short time, but he still participated in the arrangement and editing of mv director. Is this arrangement really conducive to the production of the album?

The Four Seasons Train in the new album is another creation I like very much. And this song was ruined by Jay Chou himself. The weak instrument mixing, coupled with the fast but unattractive drum rhythm, makes me feel distressed, but I have been thinking how wonderful it would be if this song was arranged by Hong Jingyao.

In addition to arranging music, the team also has a heavyweight player-vincent fang. There is also a lot of discussion about Vincent Fang's writing level. Some people say that his writing can go straight to people's hearts, and some people say that his writing has no aesthetic feeling, but in any case, the combination of Jay Chou and Fang Zhouzi has become an envied golden partner. If Wang Leehom and JJ Lin can have such a partner, that's really. ...

Jay Chou's good songs have a lot to do with Fang Zhouzi. He won't let Jay Chou sing "I love you, you love me, I love you, you don't love me" all the time, but he will turn his mind into a picture, so that people can feel the powerful music power when they listen to the song and look at the lyrics.

However, vincent fang is no longer Jay Chou's only partner. He writes books, watches programs and writes lyrics for colorful singers of all grades (Wenshan, you are short of money), and what he writes is more and more beyond the taste that ordinary people can understand.

Is this Vincent Fang who wrote "The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the roof you use to shelter from the rain" and "My love overflows like rain all night when it rains"? Is it really not Vae's?

Although the lyrics he wrote to Jay Chou are not so whimsical at present, they will still happen at this rate.

The new song "Red Dust Inn" has lost the aura of "direct answer". Seeing this word, I really agree with the statement of "rhetoric".

In addition to being extremely naive, Jay Chou is also super keen on handout spirit and helping others. As long as a friend has a dream, he is Aladdin's magic lamp and all kinds of help come true. Now, he encourages dance director Mai to create an album, and other brothers and sisters may be thinking about what to wish for.

Since Jay Chou set up "Jewel" by himself, the production level of the album has been declining year by year, and the optimized combination of the team has not been reflected at all, such as arrangement, lyrics and mv production, which can be given to great talents, while Jay Chou has spent the time and energy saved on writing and singing. The quality of songs is by no means what it is now-water.

Can a dry voice still sing like a clear spring?

Since the first two albums, Jay Chou has frequently used "electronic sound" in his songs, which makes people scratch their heads. What's more strange is that he used (sweat) in his concerts.

Some passers-by said that the electronic sound was really bad, and the standard in Jay Chou was really bad. Another brain powder said, Jay, is this keeping up with the times? Electronic music is the trend now! Passerby powder said, joke, if Jay Chou needs to follow suit, what else do I like about him?

Yes, everyone knows that the electronic sound is not good, which is not suitable for his style, and so is Jay Chou. But why use it? Because my voice is failing.

Some people say that Jay Chou's voice is not good, he didn't take the route of creative genius, and the tuning has never been better.

Actually, this is not right. His voice is not as powerful as the god of songs, but it is definitely clear.

(Reference video: Jay Chou sang the old Indian turtledove at Happy Camp for the first time/program/view /lbA6xOX6FHg)

It is this video that Jay Chou's singing skills deeply touched the landlord.

There is also a love song of the concert in my memory. I sang seven or eight songs in a row, singing soundly and without breathing. The landlord is also intoxicated.

Now even if everything stops, Jay Chou's voice is accomplished by his high-intensity and high-pressure work and life-Jojo.

This year's Jiangsu New Year's Eve party, the voices are all illusory and unconfident, and there is brain powder to say whether Jay is uncomfortable and whether spondylitis is fashionable again. I want to say that you really think too much. He really can't sing. The fact that you are uncomfortable is really a wrong message. Jay's fine.

Besides, it's not the first time that a bad scene has happened. I was worried about his voice when I sang "Preface to Lanting" in the Spring Festival Evening the year before last. Not only is the voice hoarse, but also weak.

(video: /programs/view/i7ilz8oP5jw/)

This good voice is gone, and the scene in Jay Chou is getting worse and worse (the concert is ok, because the accompaniment has already taken the original sound). It is impossible not to bring this state into the recording of the album. No matter how excellent the production level is, it can't compare with the natural sound. Therefore, listening to his songs is no longer as comfortable and natural as before.

Reference songs: the new album "You are Everywhere", "Silly Laughter" and "It's not bad to love you"

But this kind of tragedy will not have much influence on fast songs and rap, so My Father-in-law's Migraine and Ukulele are still fresh and natural.

Has he changed or have we changed?

The changes mentioned above are all about Jay Chou himself and his team. In fact, the gap in every aspect is not very big, but it is just like the comment of the tenth screening room that China movies imitate Hollywood movies: everything is similar, so together, the difference is the whole era.

Movies are like this, and music is even more so. Everything is similar, so it adds up to the gap between classic and ordinary.

However, apart from the changes in Jay Chou and his team, what about those of us who listen to music? What about the music market?

Please refer to the following website of Tianya netizen, because it is so well written, I have to admit that our beloved Jay Chou can no longer be so cute, that's all. . .
