Today, I brushed my phone to see a video of a group of elderly people singing Jay Chou's song. This video attracted many post-80s and post-90s onlookers, and triggered a lot of emotions about the years. As a post-80s, Zhou Youjun was also moved by Jay Chou's vague singing, so after seeing the video, he couldn't help but check Jay Chou's information. Born in 1979, it turned out that Jay Chou was just 42 years old, but in the eyes of many people, Jay Chou and his music have become memories. When Jay Chou debuted, there was actually another little king Xie Tingfeng, but many netizens were more willing to mention Jay Chou and his music when recalling their youth.
Many people regard Jay Chou's music as a memory of their green years, which is indeed a very magical phenomenon. You should know that Jay Chou is only 42 years old, and most of his fans are between the ages of 30 and 40. Behind Jay Chou's memories, it is actually the nostalgia complex of this generation of fans. Most of the fans of this generation spent their youth listening to Jay Chou's songs in junior high school and high school, and at this time they are living through one of the most changed age groups in their lives.
But why do fans of that generation only remember Jay Chou? You know, in that era, there was also Nicholas Tse, who was only 1 year old and debuted earlier than Jay Chou. And the fans of these two people were also highly overlapping in that year. In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, and we can clearly recall the style of the two people carefully. Because Nicholas Tse debuted in a celebrity family since he was a child, he belongs to the stars of youth and old age in the entertainment industry. At the beginning of his debut, Nicholas Tse was very sophisticated, and in 2000, he also spread the news that Hege Wong was in love. You should know that the age difference between the two is exactly 11 years, and the sister-brother love 20 years ago, even in the entertainment industry, is still a very avant-garde emotional thing.
These initial impressions of fans have made many people feel that Nicholas Tse and his peers are not the same age group. And Nicholas Tse entered the entertainment industry, with a full family preparation, under such a premise, between Tse Tingfeng and ordinary people, full of a sense of identity estrangement. Therefore, at the beginning of Nicholas Tse's debut, what was created by the media was the image of a rebellious teenager. Under such a premise, the identity of popular fans to Nicholas Tse itself has problems. Therefore, Nicholas Tse can become a memory for the public, but it is not easy to evoke the resonance of the years.
Jay Chou is very different, this ordinary person who grew up in a single-parent family, music is his only hope to change his life. The reason why Jay Chou has become a public memory is largely due to his musical works full of story. Like Stephen Chow's films, Jay Chou's songs were also criticized when they first came out, and the biggest controversy was that Jay Chou couldn't speak clearly. But with the passage of time, the public began to forget the shortcomings of Jay Chou's unclear words, in addition, many people also magically forgot about the bad movies starring Jay Chou.
In the memories of Jay Chou, people almost spontaneously ignore his bad parts, and only remember his notes engraved in the years. When listening to these musics, people feel the emotional resonance, which has long been wrapped in the taste of time. And Jay Chou compared to Nicholas Tse, his image is more sunny, since his debut, Jay Chou's scandals are very few. At the same time, although Jay Chou's appearance is not handsome, it has the atmosphere of green years.
In addition to the characteristics of Jay Chou, there are fans who regard Jay Chou as a memory. Speaking of this generation of fans, Zhou Youjun, as one of them, still has a voice. Among the idols of this generation, Jay Chou, Han Han, and Zhou Xingchi are all different in various fields. But compared with the other two, Jay Chou is much more orthodox. At least his music is full of Chinese charm, which is not only mixed with youthful whispers, but also the call to traditional art.
Art comes from life and is higher than life, and so is Jay Chou's music. As the composer of most works, Jay Chou is the musical inspiration he found on the basis of his own life. This kind of note melody precipitated based on life, when it is finally presented, must be wrapped in the taste of many years. So Jay Chou's music, to a certain extent, can be associated with youth and a certain time 20 years ago. Songs such as "East Wind Broken", "Grandpa's Tea", "Seven Lixiang" and other songs he created have many imprints of the times. And for example, in the "Seven Mile Fragrance" a sentence "the taste of saury", so many people want to understand.
And the traces of time precipitated in these music are the youth that Jay Chou's generation of fans cherish the most. It should be known that this generation of fans is moving from youth to middle age, and is slowly increasing the identity of husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers as a simple child. These identity changes cannot help but fill this generation with feelings about youth. The passage of time, the passage of time, the old age, becomes a reality in these people. When looking back on the past, it is inevitable to look for a sign, and jay Chou's ineffable music stood out and became the brand of the years.
In this regard, the texture of Jay Chou's music itself is indispensable. Jay Chou's music, especially in line with the taste of youth, green onions are ignorant, full of fantasies about the unknown future. And Jay Chou's music has a very youthful subjective perspective, because Jay Chou at that time, like many young people who pursue their dreams, he and the public look at the world with an attitude. Therefore, Jay Chou's music is also more likely to resonate with this generation of fans. Everything is just right, so that Jay Chou's music really has vitality.
At this point, Jay Chou's contemporaries obviously lack these artistic charms. Even singers such as Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe, and Pan Weibai at that time, although they were also very popular at that time. But unfortunately, their works do not really touch people's hearts and engrave the years. Time is a ruler to test the works, and 20 years of time just sets off the charm of Jay Chou's music.
In this regard, Jay Chou and his music are pure. Although Jay Chou also participated in some variety shows, although he also used his fame to shoot a lot of bad films. But Jay Chou's heart is always full of dreams, just like his idol Bruce Lee, Jay Chou has a personality that pursues the ultimate. In the end, the value of Jay Chou was affirmed by the times. Such achievements are not something that money can illustrate.
These are the key factors why ordinary people Jay Chou defeated the star two metabolism thunder front. One of the most important points is that Jay Chou's own temperament is more suitable for the public's nostalgia, and the factors on Nicholas Tse have become too complicated, making people think of him more as a star and unable to resonate emotionally.
