In the past year, the entertainment industry has been constantly earthquakes, and the top stream of the past has frequently collapsed.
When her sister surfs in the major "rollover scene", she can always see similar messages:
"Jay Chou, it is our final bottom line."
"Jay Chou can't collapse, otherwise I will go to KTV to sing what?"
"The requirements for Jaylen are not high, it doesn't matter if you are fat, it doesn't matter if you don't have a new album, you can love your wife and children well, you have nothing to drink more milk tea, in short, you can't collapse the house!"
Although it is a joke, it can also glimpse Jay Chou's status.
Twenty years after his debut, despite the wave of the music world, he is still at the peak.
As if with a crushing force, domineering to occupy the top of the major song singles, no one can replace.
Today is Jay Chou's 43rd birthday.
Her sister wanted to talk about this phenomenal legendary idol.
Jay Chou, who has not produced a new song for a long time, why is it still unshakable?
Cool boy who changed the Chinese-speaking world
There was a "photo of Jay Chou that can't be looked back on" on the Internet.
At an award ceremony, Jay Chou, who won the grand prize, raised the trophy.
However, the reporters surrounded another more famous singer, and no one paid attention to Jay Chou, who had just debuted.
From no one to follow, Jay Chou's road to fame is quite dramatic.
He was born into a single-parent family, and when his mother saw that he had a talent for music, she spent all her savings to buy him back a piano.
His mother had high hopes for his musical path, but he walked in the mud.
Twice applied for the Music Department of National Taiwan University, but was not admitted;
Participated in the draft and was brushed off in the first round;
Writing songs for Andy Lau, Zhang Huimei and others was returned...
Fortunately, producer Wu Zongxian took a fancy to Jay Chou's seriousness and talent, and issued him the ultimate challenge of writing 50 songs in 10 days.
Jay Chou bought back two boxes of instant noodles and a sleeping bag, lived in the company, wrote songs day and night, and had nosebleeds and was reluctant to stop.
After 10 days, he handed over 50 brilliant and talented works.
An album called "Jay" exploded, pushing the somewhat autistic, introverted boy to the center of the stage where the spotlight was spotlighted.
In the face of Jay Chou's emergence, many people questioned that he was just lucky, and no one knew the bitterness and effort he experienced.
Jay Chou once said:
"A man can not be handsome, he can not study, he can not have much money, he can not be good at talking, but he must be serious about the cause he loves." 」
He is a "heavy perfectionist" who is more truthful in everything and tries his best in everything.
When making "Double Stick", he consulted a large number of obscure martial arts materials, and even practiced double sticks hard, just to present the best effect in the MV.
When editing the MV, even if others are abroad, they also stare at it through the Internet and do not want to have any flaws, which once became a "nightmare" in the heart of director Kwong Sheng.
In the South Korean performance encountered a snowstorm, his fingers were frozen red and swollen, but he still insisted on finishing the guitar singing, and even the Korean media was reporting, praising his dedication.
Anyone familiar with Jay Chou knows that he suffers from severe mandatory spondylitis.
Whenever he fell ill, he was in excruciating pain and could hardly move.
Someone asked him, that concert requires many hours of continuous singing and dancing, what should you do?
Jay Chou replied lightly: "Take medicine, analgesia, otherwise fans will come to see something." ”
At the 2016 Hefei concert, when he stepped off the stage holding the model, the disease attacked, and his whole face was painfully wrinkled.
But he insisted on going all the way, just because he didn't want to let the performance effect be discounted in the slightest.
Musician Yang Junrong commented on Jay Chou:
"We often got off the plane in the middle of the night, and the staff urged him to hurry up and rest, but he went straight to the recording studio to make music."
"Every accolade and applause he deserves, no flukes."
Piety and madness for music create glory in him.
The cool boy with the duck tongue hat and little speech became the king of the Chinese music scene.
He was the first Asian male singer to appear in Time magazine.
He is known in the Western media as the "King of Asian POP".
Many seniors in the industry have high evaluations of him.
Jacky Cheung commented: "Jay Chou is the most important person in the Chinese music scene in the past decade."
Zhou Huajian said: "Jay Chou has brought a revolution to popular music, which is very fresh and shocking. Our group of male singers were all shaken by it. ”
He is like a "tornado" that swept through the music world, becoming a time-breaking existence.
He is the pioneer of "Chinese style", and songs such as "Blue and White Porcelain" and "East Wind Broken" have become milestones of Chinese style songs.
How many people know from his songs:
It turns out that the Chinese classical style, which is not paid attention to, is so obsessive and intoxicating.
It turns out that we don't have to envy the popular style of the West, and in traditional Chinese culture, there is a galaxy.
He is the preacher of the "hip-hop style", a song that has spread all over the country, "Double Cut Stick", knocking on the long-closed door of Chinese hip-hop.
Years later, in the program "China Has Hip Hop", many young hip hop contestants regarded Jay Chou as an idol, and even some contestants wrote in the lyrics:
"The same table saved money for me on my birthday that year, and the roughly packaged poster reads JAY."
Jay Chou, deservedly the first generation of traffic kings.
Even if he has won the Golden Melody Award, he still won the Golden Melody Award 15 times and is the singer who won the most awards.
A song "In the Name of the Father" was released, premiered simultaneously on 50 radio stations in Asia, and was listened to by more than 800 million people.
Twenty years later, Jay Chou released a new song "Mojito", which can still cause the server of music software to crash directly.
No wonder some netizens said:
"After so many years, Jay Chou has not grown at all, and he is still the first in the universe."
He's at the top,
But it is full of the heart of a child
Nicholas Tse said that Jay Chou is a particularly simple person, and there are two simple people he knows, one is Faye Wong and the other is Jay Chou.
In the complex entertainment industry, Jay Chou treats things with a kind heart and treats people with gentle feelings.
Treating friends, he has a chivalrous heart and does not live up to the little kindness.
Before his debut, Jay Chou was friends with Liu Qihong.
At that time, Liu Qihong, who was already a little famous, often let Jay Chou eat and drink, and also introduced Jay Chou to his predecessors.
The kindness of friends, Jay Chou has never forgotten.
After becoming famous, Jay Chou will always pull Liu Qihong: the concert invited him as a guest, helped him promote records, coffee shops...
When Liu Qihong was preparing the album, Jay Chou deliberately spent a month practicing British rock, just so that he could tailor a fast song.
On Liu Qihong's birthday, Jay Chou posted a letter of gratitude for his dedication to himself, saying affectionately: It is time for me to take care of you.
How many people have lost their old friends after becoming famous, and he is in a high position, but he treats his friends as he did back then.
He has empathy for his partners and does not skimp on sharing honors.
At that time, the unknown Jay Chou and the lyricist Fang Wenshan became partners who fought side by side.
The two teenagers, who are also poor, only when they improve their food on weekends, are willing to go downstairs to eat KFC and share a cup of Coke and a chip.
The two once collaborated on a work, but the producer only liked Jay Chou's song and did not want Fang Wenshan's words.
Jay Chou resolutely refused on the spot, "No lyrics, there is no song." ”
After the explosion, once Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan came to the stage to receive the award, and the reporters surrounded Jay Chou, and no one paid attention to Fang Wenshan.
Jay Chou immediately stopped the interview and called Fang Wenshan to his side before he continued to accept the interview.
Another time, Jay Chou won the Best Album Award, and when he received the award, he insisted on pulling Fang Wenshan to the stage.
"Because in Jay Chou's heart, this award should have a copy of Fang Wenshan."
Do not seek glory and awards, only seek to be unashamed, this is jay Chou's cultivation in his bones.
Treating his family, he takes care of everything and does not miss the company of family affection.
The love between Jay Chou and Kunling has always been the benchmark of love in the entertainment industry.
A reporter once asked Jay Chou: "Before you married Kunling, did you sign a prenuptial agreement?" ”
He wondered, "What do you do when you sign that?" ”
Reporter: "You are the king of heaven, don't you worry about your property being divided after the divorce?" ”
Jay Chou said domineeringly: "Consider this when getting married, it is better not to end it." ”
His 300 million mansion only has Kunling's name written on it, and even his own company has shares in Kunling.
When Kunling was pregnant, Jay Chou would personally cook and cook love meals for her.
Kunling was hospitalized after the caesarean section, and he has been taking good care of it, even helping to go to the toilet.
Seeing the tired Jay Chou, curled up and sleeping on a small folding bed, Kunling had mixed feelings:
"He's a poor, obviously successful man, but he doesn't care about it."
Even if the work is busy, Jay Chou is not absent from the growth of his children.
Kunling once revealed that Jay Chou would feed his children at night, change diapers, and send his children to class.
He knows that loving his wife and taking good care of his family can give his children the best family environment and growth example.
As Kunling said: "We have always put the other half first, and he said this to me in order to set a good example for the children." ”
Treat fans, he treats fans equally and sincerely treats every like.
Some netizens said that when they walked their dogs, they met Jay Chou and wanted to take a photo with him, but the mobile phone just ran out of battery, so they hurriedly said: "I go back to get the iPad, wait for me!" ”
I thought that Jay Chou would refuse, but I didn't expect him to smile and agree: "Well, dog, I will help you walk, you go to get it!" ”
An Australian fan, because of Jay Chou's works, liked Chinese culture and insisted on learning Chinese.
He suffered bone cancer at the age of 19 and had an amputated leg, which doctors told him would only live for about five years.
After Jay Chou learned of his experience, he specially wrote a blessing letter by hand, hoping to encourage him to live bravely.
Seemingly rebellious and cold Jay Chou, the personality background is indelible gentleness and chivalry.
Starting with the work, loyal to the character, he can afford to be the idol of generations.
A quality idol that spans the ages
Cai Kangyong once said: "One of the best things in this era is to have Jay Chou. ”
Time Magazine's interview with Jay Chou mentioned:
"It is strange for Westerners that such a singer, who does not take drugs, does not cause trouble, does not rebel, and can become so popular."
Jay Chou explained:
"I have a great responsibility to society, especially children, which is why I want to express love the most in my songs."
His works are not sensational traffic passwords, but media tools for delivering goodness.
In Dad, I'm Back, he criticizes domestic violence:
"I've heard that peace is usually bought after a war, why see my dad beat my mom all the time..."

"Not being controlled by soft drugs, in my eyes know how to refuse to survive."
In "Grandma", he cares for the lonely old man:

The strength of Jay Chou's songs not only comes from the excellence of production, but also from his inner kindness and sense of responsibility.
Some netizens once told a story:
Fang Wenshan was dumped by his girlfriend who had been in love for many years, and because of his difficult intentions, he wrote a "slap on the back of my horse".
Jay Chou feels that even if it is a joke, it is not fair to girls, and it is resolutely not scored.
At that time, he had not yet made his debut, and this was the first time he had rejected Fang Wenshan. ”
Perhaps it is his appearance is cold and low-key, and many people are prone to misunderstand him.
When it rained heavily in Zhengzhou last year, the news of Jay Chou's donation was not received for a long time, and many netizens questioned it.
It was not until the Zhengzhou Red Cross Society announced the list that people saw jay Chou silently donated 3 million yuan.
For many years, Jay Chou never publicized his good deeds, mostly official statements, people learned of his goodwill.
This is the true heart of public welfare, only asking for help, not asking for attention from others.
Promoting traditional culture is a strong stroke in Jay Chou's works.
The "Double Truncated Stick" about Chinese martial arts, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" about Chinese medicinal materials, the "Blue and White Porcelain" about Ru Kiln...
Blue and White Porcelain Music: Jay Chou
The beauty of Chinese culture has turned into flexible notes that stir the heartstrings of countless people.
As he put it:
"Now there are Hahan and Hari everywhere, in fact, we have a very good culture ourselves, and we should pay more attention to the things of our ancestors."
At an event, the host asked him to thank Korean fans in Korean.
He refused: "I don't learn Korean, if you want to talk to me, please use Chinese." ”
No matter how flattering the other stars acted, he was always proud to be a Chinese, and more than once publicly emphasized:
"Chinese songs are the most diao."
Have both ability and political integrity, have works and more personality, cherish their influence, promote traditional culture, and lead fans to become better people.
This is a quality idol that can stand the wash of time.
Once, almost everyone's song list had a Jay Chou.
He fills our youth and elevates our aesthetics.
Nowadays, more and more shoddy songs are flooding the market and occupying traffic.
Even when Jay Chou opened the concert, he was asked by fans to sing a song "Learn to Cat Call".
Some people sighed: "The Chinese music scene has changed from a fight between gods and immortals to garbage classification." ”
Someone else said: "Jay Chou is no longer the opponent of the Douyin Divine Comedy." ”
This should never be the case.
What is an enduring song and what is an idol to be admired, we have our own judgment.
Many years ago, Jay Chou made a wish:
"I hope it's not just your youth, because I want you to listen to my songs all your life."
Click "Watching" and give Jaylen Brother a scene:
Happy Birthday, our quality idol.
I wish you a smooth path and all your wishes.
