Azure waits for smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you Cooking smoke rises, thousands of miles across the river. At the bottom of the bottle the book Han Li imitates the elegance of the former dynasty, Just when I was foreshadowing to meet you ——Jay Chou, "Blue and White Porcelain"
This song "Blue and White Porcelain" must be no stranger to everyone, and it has swept the country.
It can often be heard in the streets and alleys, and it also accompanies our growth in the rhythm of the song.
This year is the thirteenth year of the release of Blue and White Porcelain.
Although thirteen years have passed, when the melody sounds again, it is still so intimate and familiar, as if it were yesterday.
I remember that we were just ignorant middle school students, we loved novelty, we liked to focus on our own little world.
At that time, everyone would have a special excerpt of the lyrics in their hands, and they would copy their favorite music in a beautiful font in a beautiful font. Then while copying the lyrics, he lamented the lyricist's literary skills.
This thick Chinese style carries a beautiful picture in the rhetoric. The deep meaning implied in the things makes people feel the true face of the national style popular songs in the new century.
It is the kind of humming that is neither pretentious nor disease-free moaning, but a real Chinese heart.
It was also from that time that the name Fang Wenshan entered the public eye and was elected as a god.
Born into an ordinary family in Taiwan, Fang Wenshan, who loves literature and writing, often neglects other courses. As a result, from the beginning of the student era, it has been seriously biased.
Because of his grades, he could not be admitted to the ideal university, so he entered the society early with a high school degree. In order to live, he did many jobs at the same time.
I have delivered newspapers, couriers, advertisements, delivery drivers, and even worked as maintenance workers for textile machinery, installers of anti-theft systems, and so on.
Busy life, let him know more and more about his passion - text creation. However, his dream seemed to people at the time to be a fantasy.
Sanmao said: Dreams can fall from the sky; ideals are bumpy roads that we step by step.
What floats in the sky is the dream, and what is implemented is the ideal, and only by making real efforts can we get close to the ideal.
The separation of Fang Wenshan's dream and ideals began with the first time he read and wrote for the first time.
In order to get closer to his ideals, he began to read a lot of books, poems, and so on.
I always carry a notebook and a pen with me at work, and when I think of good sentences, I quickly write them down in the notebook.
It was also at that time that he learned how to compose lyrics, how to rhyme, and how to grasp the theme of songs.
For this illusory dream, he even used all the money he worked to apply for classes to learn screenwriting, learn scene scheduling, learn montage editing, and so on.
But the great thing about a dream is that it deserves everyone to persevere for it.
Without a computer, he wrote more than 100 songs by hand.
These manuscripts were carefully written and arranged by him, and a total of 100 copies were copied.
In order to let more producers see himself, he also carefully added a table of contents and marked the page number on this booklet called "Lyric Factory".
These 100 music collections, like dandelions, flew to various record companies with Fang Wenshan's dream.
However, for a month after delivery, "Lyric Factory" was as silent as a sea of stones.
From the initial expectation to the final brink of despair, we do not know Fang Wenshan's state of mind at that time, but we can feel the bumps of young people on the road to chasing their dreams.
Fate always leaves a glimmer of hope for those who work hard.
A phone call a month later changed Fang Wenshan's life and gave his dream a chance to shine.
The owner of this phone call is Wu Zongxian, a well-known taiwanese program host and singer.
Only one of the 100 copies of "Lyric Factory" went to the producers, and this one percent became a turning point in life.
In 1997, the 28-year-old Fang Wenshan signed up with Wu Zongxian, and fang Wenshan was also his future "golden partner" Jay Chou.
At that time, the two were people with dreams, with different encounters, different directions, setbacks and perseverance not to give up.
Just as the lyrics of Jay Chou, who first entered the company, were returned by many people, Fang Wenshan at that time was not optimistic about everyone.
Two people who are also confused on the road of their dreams, who are 10 years apart in age, always cheer each other up.
The arrival of the year 2000 not only ushered in a new century, but also ushered in the peak of Fang Wenshan's career.
This year, Jay Chou launched his debut album "jay", and Fang Wenshan was also nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist Award with the word "Lady" in the "jay" album.
The first time he composed his lyrics, he was affirmed by everyone, which gave Fang Wenshan great confidence, and his talent also had a very large display space after this.
He wrote "Dao Ma Dan" for Li Wei after the song; "Little One" for Joey Yung;
Wrote "Prague Square" for Jolin Tsai; "Drunken Chibi" for Lin Junjie;
Wrote "Dear, That's Not Love" for Zhang Shaohan; "Mudanjiang" for Nanquan's mother...
He has written lyrics for many people in these two decades, of which the collaboration with "golden partner" Jay Chou is the most, up to dozens of songs.
In 2013, Fang Wenshan attended "Let's Talk" as a guest.
In the program, Sabine jokingly asked:
You have helped many stars write songs, created so many lyrics, beautiful lyrics, and spent so much effort. And when Jay Chou was singing, the people next to him couldn't understand what he was singing, did you feel like beating him?
Fang Wenshan said with a smile:
No, I think I want to thank Jay Chou. Because he didn't sing clearly, people were curious about what to write, and then they began to read the lyrics, which I thought was very good. If the lyrics are sung too clearly, but suddenly people lose the space of imagination and curiosity, there is no hazy beauty.
Fang Wenshan and Jay Chou, from the initial mutual dislike of each other, to cheer each other up, from 2000 began to cooperate in "Niangzi", "Bullfighting", "Perfectionism", etc.,
To the later "Love before the Western Yuan", "Ninja", "Shanghai 1943", "East Wind Broken" and then to the "Blue and White Porcelain", "Thousands of Miles Away" and so on.
Fang Wenshan and Jay Chou have become the most representative symbols in the Chinese music scene.
Under the mutual achievements of the two, Jay Chou became the "Heavenly King" and Fang Wenshan became the "Word Saint".
People know a lyricist named Fang Wenshan.
The drill boy who has been said to be daydreaming all day is now finally stepping into the realm of "dreams".
Today, Fang Wenshan is over 50 years old, and he is still the "child" who runs on the road to his dreams.
He learned to direct mv, promote Hanfu culture, publish books, attend forums... A variety of different identities, but also let him feel more of the world style.
