How good is Jay Chou, the "King of Asia"?
His songs were selected for primary school Chinese textbooks, and even taken to space by the Shenzhou spacecraft to be played repeatedly.
As early as more than a decade ago, Jay Chou announced to everyone that Taiwan is only a province.
Attending an event in South Korea, he refused to speak Korean in front of fans.
So many legends are just the tip of the iceberg of Jay Chou's life.
It is said that in 2003, Jay Chou was recommended to the Spring Festival Gala because of his super popularity, but the director rejected him because of "unclear words".
What the director team did not expect was that Jay Chou was simply too far into the galaxy in those years, so they launched a wave of voting.
You know, the computer was not popular at that time, and if you want to vote, you basically have to go to the Internet café.
In this way, Jay Chou won the support of two million votes, and the director could only helplessly say: young people just like this feeling of biting words.
Finally in this year, Jay Chou brought his new song "Dragon Fist" to the Spring Festival Gala.
After that, Jay Chou's album popularity crushed Wang Lihong, Lin Junjie and others that year, and even won eight nominations for the Golden Melody Award.

It can be said that Jay Chou has always been a topic that cannot be avoided after the eighties and nineties.
Jay Chou recalled that since he was a child, his mother regarded him as a treasure, and even said: Thank God for giving me a baby.
Indeed, he was really popular as a child, with a chubby face and an interest in music since childhood.
Later, his parents divorced, and Jay Chou's only had his mother and grandmother by his side, and these two women also became the people he respected the most.
It is understood that he has always studied poorly, and his grades are often hanging on to the subjects, but he has become a prominent figure in the school because of his outstanding musical talent.
Until the end, Jay Chou did not even get into an ordinary high school, and his first love did not end.
In order to turn things around, he was favored by the music class of Tamkang Middle School and chose to be the piano accompaniment of the choir.
At this time, Jay Chou, even if he goes to the toilet, will be "tracked" by girls, and he will soon become a campus celebrity with high popularity.
So, when the report card was in hand, the teacher was depressed and even suspected that he had an intellectual disability.
Many sighed, worried about the child.
Until 1997, 18-year-old Jay Chou experienced two failed college entrance examinations, and finally appeared in Wu Zongxian's "Super Newcomer King" program.
At that time, Jay Chou was very shy, and he did not dare to sing alone.
So he asked for help and played the piano himself, but in the end, the singer won the runner-up, and he was left unattended.
Fortunately, Wu Zongxian saw the pearls and issued an olive branch to Jay Chou: Oh, yes, come to my company as a music assistant.
So I signed him.
At this time, Jay Chou was wearing a baseball cap and was silent, and Wu Zongxian had secretly scolded: what to drag.
When he saw Fang Wenshan, who was also a company, Jay Chou did not even say hello.
Later, Jay Chou ridiculed Fang Wenshan: You looked like a courier.
Fang Wenshan also said tit-for-tat: You are not like a singer who can write songs.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the two people who were suspicious of each other became friends and created the "tornado" that set off a "wild storm".

In order to save time, the two people often wear large pants to rotate in the company.
As they chatted, they found that the other person was very much like themselves, especially in music, and they simply found a confidant.
Later, the two collaborated on a song called "Double Stick".
Wu Zongxian sang this song to Zhang Huimei, but this powerful singer said with disgust: "Hum hum ha hey" What is the ghost thing?
Later, Wu Zongxian recommended the two men's works "Tears Know" to Andy Lau.
But Liu Tianwang asked him: What are the tears? How will tears know?
In short, no matter what the songs written by Jay Chou, no one can look at them.
Wu Zongxian was also helpless, and he finally decided to gamble, so he told Jay Chou:
"If you can write 50 songs in a month, then I'll pick ten for you to make an album."
Wu Zongxian just casually talked about it, but Jay Chou took it seriously, so he stayed up all night and really wrote fifty songs.
After that, the company manager Yang Junrong heard the song "Lovely Woman" and was completely shocked.
So I called the boss Wu Zongxian: You have been hiding this "coffee" for more than a year? I'm going to hold him, I can't do it and I'm leaving.
Until the end of 2000, Jay Chou's "one-handed" album was finally born.
Wu Zongxian said: As a newcomer, it is enough to take it back.
Unexpectedly, Jay Chou's popularity was like a tornado, sweeping throughout China and even all of Asia.
By 2001, Jolin Tsai had become a "otaku killer" in Taiwan with her pure looks, and she also did a show with Jay Chou.
Wu Zongxian always deliberately and unintentionally "matched" the two, which caused quite a stir in that year.
Later, the scandal between the two went away, and Wu Zongxian created a topic of conversation.
In September of the same year, "Fantasia" came out, and Jay Chou attracted everyone's attention, sweeping the entire Chinese music scene.
And the song "Double Stick", which was rejected by Zhang Huimei, opened the era of Jay Chou.
Soon after, Jay Chou parted ways with his boss Wu Zongxian for various reasons, and through his own relationship, helped Jolin Tsai find a new company.
For the relationship with Wu Zongxian, Jay Chou said: In addition to the master-apprentice relationship, there is nothing else, but I will not forget the original.

Since then, Jolin Tsai has released a solo album and successfully transformed.
And 24-year-old Jay Chou also released "Ye Huimei".
In short, the two are often connected by various relationships, and Jay Chou said to the outside world: I would like to write songs for her.
But soon after, he participated in the variety show of Hou Anchor for the first time, and the two frowned, which was a bit ominous.
Just when everyone thought that Jolin Tsai was already a "past tense", Jay Chou appeared at Jolin Tsai's concert.
But after the concert, Jay Chou traveled to Japan with Hou Patzen and was photographed.
In order to protect each other, Jay Chou admitted that the two were lovers, and when asked about the relationship with Jolin Tsai, he said lightly: We are just good friends.
After that, where there was Jay Chou, there was no jolin Tsai, and the two people completely drew a line.
At this moment, Wu Zongxian stood up and made up the knife: I originally concocted the "double J love", but these are jay Chou's original intentions.
This sentence directly put on him the hat of "chaos and abandonment, and the relationship between Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian was completely ended."
05
Until 2010, Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou, who had not cooperated for five years, danced on the same stage and successfully evoked the memories of fans.
At this time, Jay Chou has released eight albums, and Jolin Tsai has also sat on the throne of "the queen of the song world".
Many people have questioned: is it friendship or love between the two?
Until the next year, Jay Chou and Young Model Kunling were exposed to their love affair.
However, the two are very low-key, in order to support Jay Chou, Kunling reduced his work and was willing to be the "woman behind the king of heaven".
Four years later, Jay Chou gave Kunling a dream wedding, alarming the entire entertainment circle, but did not invite Wu Zongxian.
Wu Zongxian shouted to the outside world:
Why not post to me, it's so targeted, I was pitching you everywhere, what the hell do I owe you...
At this point, the relationship between the two deteriorated again and fell to the bottom.
Time came to 2018, at this time Jay Chou's family is happy, his career is blossoming everywhere, so the past that has accumulated many years of resentment has been written off, and the relationship with the noble person has been repaired.
Wu Zongxian replied: We are all nostalgic people, the years can change a lot, but as long as it changes, it is all good.
Who would have thought that the "freak" who was once there would become the traffic king of the times.
Even CCTV can't help but comment on Jay Chou: traffic is not equal to popularity, the list is more on the Internet, and old fans have their own stubbornness.
Perhaps in Jay Chou's voice, there is a magical power hidden, and there is also the boiling youth of countless people.
