How to evaluate Jay Chou?

I remember a long time ago, Vanke CEO Chennian made some abusive remarks in "Evil Liang Huanxiu". Speaking of Mu Dan, the host Liang Huan handed over Jay Chou's words "at the right time". After a long pause, he said, "Mu Dan should dump hundreds of thousands of streets in Jay Chou. I think that after a hundred years, everyone will definitely remember Mu Dan. Jay Chou must be rubbish. "

According to media reports, Fang Zhouzi sent a letter to Weibo asking for an apology, but Jay Chou did not comment.

Now the program is familiar with eye-catching topics. I also want to believe that Chennian's expression of love for Mu Dan is true and sincere. Mu Dan is of course a great poet and translator, but it is concluded that Jay Chou is rubbish, and he is also drunk. No wonder Fang Gang was in such a hurry. Do you want to scold Jay Chou or me?

It's hard to say how many Jay Chou songs I heard in my later years. But the sense of superiority hidden behind these different dimensions is not uncommon: I listen to Liszt, you listen to Jonathan Lee, I listen to Shostakovich, and you listen to Elva Hsiao, which is really low.

In fact, people with insight and vision should stick to their own interests. Only pedantic people will put different categories together and show "I am superior to you".

As a decent person, I don't evaluate my age, only say whether Jay Chou's works are good or not.

In 2000, at the age of 265,438+0, Jay Chou released his first album "Jielun". Before that, he wrote "Roof" and "You are happier than before" for Wu Zongxian. Xu Ruyun's album True Love Invincible includes the chorus Snail, which was also written by Jay Chou.

What was the Chinese pop music scene like around 2000? All the kings and divas in the 1990s are still there, but there is not much new idea. Wang Leehom has just won the Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Male Singer. The winning work is Revolution and Rotation, out of tune and lyrics. F4 is in full swing, singing drooling songs such as Meteor Shower and First Time, and the whole territory is crazy about twins. When we talk about new music styles, we mean Alejandro Delfino and Tao Zhe.

Xingqing Jay Chou-Jay Chou

In this context, R & ampb, Jay of Little Hiphop, is a great surprise. Even by today's standards, this is a rich album.

Star Sunny is a little fresh version of traditional love songs, Lovely Woman is a fast-paced expression of the soul, and Lady and Old Indian Turtledove seem to be written in a way that has never appeared before, all of which are connected in series to form a song.

Equally novel is Jay Chou's singing skills. His punctuation marks are unique. "I want to have a helicopter and fly to the universe with you" at the beginning of "Lovely Woman" was sung from his mouth "I want to have a helicopter and fly to the universe with you". Behind the conscious rhythm is the small ambition to recreate the rhythm of Chinese songs.

Nunchaku Jay Chou-Fan Texi

The second album "Fan Texi" includes "Nunchaku", and the sentence is like this: "Smoke in the Rock/Diffuse in the Temple/Next door is the country/art gallery/shop, and the tea ceremony of Laoma is three stages". At that time, some people thought that Jay Chou could not hear clearly what he was singing, but this did not prevent us from reading words, imitating and experiencing. So pop songs can be written like this.

As long as there is love, everything can be turned into a song. Pronunciation contains sentences and has its own style. This is Jay Chou's subversion and breakthrough of the tradition of "You love me and I love me" in Chinese music.

Another contribution of Jay Chou and Fang Zhouzi is called "Chinese Style". Even if the "Chinese style" is mentioned now, it is already aesthetic fatigue after flooding, but it was a solid innovation at that time.

Jay Chou Ye Huimei, answer directly.

In 2003, the album "Ye Huimei" included "Direct Answer". A lamp that leaves sorrow alone in front of the window, a pot that wanders around the world and is difficult to enter the throat are all images of ancient poetry. "Who played a straight answer on the pipa? The years on the wall are peeling off and I saw my childhood. " Not lyrical, but implicit.

In 2005, Chopin's November included Hair as Snow. "Prosperity is like three thousand streams of water. I only take a spoonful of love to understand, and I only love the butterfly you incarnate." Not to mention the ceremony and grafting.

In 2006, "Still in Fan Texi", he created "Chrysanthemum Terrace" for the film "Golden Flower in the City". Although the creation of artistic conception is slightly deliberate, the polishing of words and expressions is a classic.

Chrysanthemum terrace Jay Chou-or Fan Texi?

The rain bounced gently, and the scarlet window, which I spent my whole life on paper, was blown away by the wind. The word "bomb" uses Su Shi's picture sense that "the dark clouds can't cover the mountain, and the white rain jumps over the boat". It is too late to bloom, and it is brilliant, and the fate of the dying world is unbearable. Directly borrow Song Qi's famous sentence "Hold a glass of wine for you to persuade the sunset, and leave a sunset photo among the flowers". "Don't worry about crossing the river, the autumn heart will split in two" is also a good explanation.

The advantage of archaizing is to make the feelings contained in popular songs jump out of the present trees and grass, return to a more open position, and arouse richer echoes.

Jay Chou-cross-era fireworks are easy to cool.

Later, "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fireworks Easy to Cold" and so on, at least, among the Chinese pop songs I have heard, many lyrics are of high quality, and it is so rare to be neat. This groundbreaking originality, of course, also exercised the audience's aesthetic taste.

More importantly, when we listen to Jay Chou, we use our whole youth to experience and understand it.

Star Clear is an intuitive imagination of sweetness and romance when we are young and ignorant: "Wandering in the blue sky with the wind, a cloud falls in front of me, and you follow me in the shape of the wind, eating sorrow one by one." "Look at the sky hand in hand, step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step, and then look at the stars, one by one, three by four, and make a wish silently back to back. If you can hear the stars in the distance, it will come true. "

"I can't open my mouth" is a slight acid and slight regret after our secret love. "Simple love" is the first promise before we swear love: "I want to hold your hand like this. Can love be simple and harmless? You lean on my shoulder, you fall asleep on my chest, I love you and you love me in the same way."

Sunny Jay Zhou-Ye Huimei

"Sunny Day" is the relief of our loss and understanding when we look back on our youth: "On a windy day, I want to hold your hand, but it is raining hard and I can't see you." "Sweet" is our best 18 years old: "You said you love me, I have a gentle taste, and I am still remembering the gentleness you gave me. I have the gentle taste of this fragrance and temptation, and you have everything I like. "

When we were young, we couldn't understand Mu Dan. It is Jay Chou's songs that make us realize the complex feelings of love. Now we have gone through it. Looking back, maybe Qian Fan went too far, maybe the clouds were light, but at least, we won't be dissatisfied with the ruler. After all, that was our position, which witnessed our stupidity and sincerity.

Jay Chou is the result of personal struggle and empowerment of the times. Before him, the competition of star singers was more about catching and killing at the same latitude. After him, pop music experienced a drastic change from the recording industry to the digital age, and the ecology has completely changed.

At a suitable node, Jay Chou has made great commercial achievements with unprecedented innovation, which is difficult to replicate.

And his songs, coupled with the usual incision, "Oh, not bad", have become the symbol of popular culture, which is infused in the growth of everyone who has witnessed it.

At the beginning of his debut, there were many voices saying that he had small eyes and was not good-looking, but in the later period, he even became a handsome boy. It seems rare to change the standards of beauty and ugliness in the media by our own efforts. He wrote a new song. In the early days, some people criticized him for being unintelligible. Later, it became self-repetition, which shows how deeply rooted the style is. Some people say that he has straight male cancer and that he is a fucking treasure, but this has never affected him to become an inspirational legend.

We welcome any rational discussion about Jay Chou, but we don't know anything about it. There is no doubt that we will make a comparison. We can only reply: Hehe.

We not only saw Mu Dan, but also Borges, Rilke, Nie Luda, adonis and Apollinaire, but this did not affect our love for Jay Chou.

He is our once-in-a-lifetime and irreplaceable youth.
