Before he became famous, he couldn't afford satin sheets, Ducati motorcycles, and no fans screamed and reveled in his concerts, and no girls went on a pilgrimage just to touch the piano seat where he sat. Only this small piece of golden floor with a distance from the leather sofa to the blue-green wall is located in a gray building in East Taipei, which is the recording studio of Alpha Records.

This is the only small world in Jay Chou. A narrow gap that allows him to curl up and take a nap. He repeatedly dreamed of melody and lyrics here. When the melody fragments come like the vocal cords of sleepwalking, he will get up, knock on the keyboard, and write the melody like the night scene into music score or record it as a demo tape ... For two years, Jay Chou wrote music according to the contract, and each song can get 20,000 yuan. He rarely leaves the soundproof room on the seventh floor to concentrate on writing songs for singers with average talent and good looks.

The success of 24-year-old Jay Chou is a miracle of this repackaged idol crash music circle. Other male singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan are mostly from wealthy performing families. How did this boy with overbite upper and lower incisors, aquiline nose and backward chin replace Nicholas Tse, Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung to become the most popular pop singer in Asia? The answer should start from that crowded recording studio, from the principle of winning by music and revolutionary creativity. Jay Chou said: "Most of my female fans will not tell me that I am handsome; On the contrary, they will tell me that they like my music and are attracted by it. "

When I was a child, Jay Chou was a little autistic and silly. The English teacher in high school thinks that Jay Chou has learning disabilities: "He has a dull expression, and I think he is stupid." The boy can't concentrate on math and science classes, and even his English homework is neglected. But Zhou's mother noticed that this quiet and shy child was particularly sensitive to western pop music or classical music from an early age. "He was keen on music before he learned to walk." She recalled. When he was four years old, Zhou's mother sent him to a piano class to learn piano. He played very well, like a piano enthusiast. The high school piano teacher said that Jay Chou could improvise when he was a teenager. Outside the piano room, Jay Chou is an ordinary teenager. While other students are playing basketball nearby, he has been watching kung fu movies and playing games. Everyone else is busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but he skipped classes and practiced the piano twice, and his life was aimless.

Music saved him and brought him good luck. A junior helped him sign up for the idol selection program Super Newcomer King in Taiwan Province Province. The producer of the program later contacted the surprised Jay Chou and invited him to participate in the performance. But Jay Chou dare not solo. Finally, he accompanied a friend who wanted to be a piano singer. The performance was poor. At that time, Wu Zongxian, the host of the program, was always looking for new people. He glanced at the nervous piano accompaniment boy and the singer who sang like a crow and thought, forget it! Wu Zongxian said, "I don't think it sounds good at all. That singer sings really badly. " However, he looked at the score: "I looked at the score from behind the referee's shoulder and the result was amazing." Very complicated, well done. "After the shooting, Wu Zongxian went backstage to find Jay Chou, who was wearing a baseball cap that almost covered his eyes. Wu Zongxian recalled: "My first impression of him was that he was very safe.

Quiet and shy. I thought he was autistic. "

Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time. A year and a half later, Wu Zongxian decided to hand over the management right of Alfa records to his friend and singer Yang Junrong, and Jay Chou went from behind the scenes to the stage to become an idol singer. Within three months, Jay Chou finished his first album.

Now Jay Chou, calmly sitting on that leather sofa, wearing a gray wool hat to cover his brown eyes, slightly brooding, wearing a black velvet track and field suit. Overnight, he changed from a geek in the recording studio to a pop singer, almost too fast, so fast that he was uneasy to bear the physical and mental pressure brought by fame and success. He speaks concisely and answers briefly, often avoiding others' eyes. Where is the mature male charm that gives depth and emotion to songs? Then he started talking about music, and you remembered, yes, it was music. Without music, the boy in front of him seems to just want to climb back behind the sofa and squat in his own nest. He said that my music should be like magic, all kinds of magic, short-lived, changing and developing. He went on to talk about music theory, the difference between Chopin, cello and violin, China's pentatonic scale and the western twelve scales: "This is my magic."

Then, he said that he really wanted to have a girlfriend; When he is shy, he often wears long hair to cover his eyes to avoid being stared at by fans. He said there were only two places that made him feel comfortable, the recording studio and the basketball court. Watching him play, you can tell that he likes to be in control. That's why he doesn't like being interviewed, why he looks shy and clumsy among fans, because he can't control these scenes. However, whether on the court or in the recording studio, he is the protagonist. ...

Music Album: Jay Chou, Fan Texi, Octave Space, Ye Huimei, Qilixiang Producer: Jay Chou.

Jay Chou was selected by Brother Xian to sign a contract with Alpha when he participated in "Super King of Newcomers" hosted by Brother Xian. But when signing Jay, he didn't immediately give Jay a chance to stand out ~ because he didn't think he was so good ~ At that time, he was very shy, with his cap down very low and his hand in his pocket, just an insignificant little boy. At that time, his songs were badly sung by others! However, in an opportunity, Brother Xian saw Jay's music manuscript, and he was amazed! ! So I arranged for him to cooperate with Vincent Fang ~ this slowly paved the way for Jay! Brother Xian thought that a genius like him would be accepted by others, so he decided to help him make a record. The first record, Jay, Brother Xian helped him make ten MVs. Because he believed and understood Jay's talent and hard work, he gave Jay a chance. Before the resale incident, others also clarified it. Brother xian said it was impossible. He thought Jay not only wanted to be a tree before, but also realized his musical dream. Jay also said that he is not a selfish person. Recently, Brother Xian will raise $25 million to tailor "Jason Wu Earth Gate" for Jay. Let Jay play nunchakus like an idol in the movie. It seems that Jay is going to develop into the film industry. Some people say that Jay's songs are hard to hear and don't know what he is singing. I think Jay's songs make people feel relaxed and stress-free (I'm not the only one who says this, but many friends also like to listen to Jay's songs). His characteristic is unclear articulation, which can be said to be his trademark Jay accent. Maybe some people will say that other singers can do it! I think so, but they can never sing Jay's flavor. R & ampb singers gradually stepped into the mainstream of music; Many musicians, because of their inseparable relationship with Jay Chou in music, are either popular or their careers have taken a new turn. These people are becoming an invisible but sensible new force in the music industry.
