The long awaited Jay Chou finally released a 24-second prelude to his new song, which made the fans a little happy, and after many times of urging Jay Chou to do more, he finally got something.
This joy did not last long, but some people said that the intro melody of Jay's new song is almost the same as the intro melody of the song "Julia" released by Korean group INFINITE in 2011, which is suspected to be plagiarized.
It is reported that the Korean group INFINITE is a male pop group that debuted in 2010. It consists of seven members: Kim Sung Kyu, Jang Dong Yu, Nam Yo Hyun (Hyun), Lee Ho Won, Lee Sung Yeol, Kim Myung Soo, and Lee Sung Jong (Seed).
Alleged plagiarism remarks, fans are not calm, bluntly said Jay Chou still need to plagiarize?
As the parties involved, Jay Chou is very calm, no intention to respond at all. Why, because the chord progression of the song was used as early as "Sunny Day", "Seven Miles" and "Her Eyelashes".
After a casual search, Jay's "Sunny Day" and "Her Eyelashes" were included on the album "Ye Huimei" in 2003. How do you think no one said that Korean group INFINITE plagiarized Jay back in 2011? After all, according to Jay's editing method, the song sounds like "Knights of the Dragon War".
In his response, Jay also gave a lesson in music theory: if the chord progressions are the same, and if the instruments used in the arrangement are the same, you're going to sound pretty much the same, and basically the chord progressions in pop music are pretty much the same - the main song will be the same, and the chorus will be the same - so how to create new melodies in the chord progressions that are pretty much the same for everyone nowadays is the main point.
In the end, Jay Chou said, "I think I'm ahead of the curve, so I'm going to list a bunch of them for you to see.
It's a good thing that Jay is so rigid, and he's got an unrivaled reputation for being the "King of Asian Pop".
All we can say is that this time, Jay was loaded again!
Jay Chou is not dealing with the Korean wave
Jay Chou knows that he is quite disdainful of the Korean wave, or it can be said that he is often active in the "dislike of the Korean line".
When the Korean Wave was in full swing, Jay won the award with this statement: "Don't let the Korean Wave get more and more arrogant, the Chinese Wave is the most powerful".
He has publicly called on Chinese musicians to unite, and compared to Japanese music and Korean music, he feels that Chinese music is the strongest.
During the November 2008 Style Ceremony, when host Zeng Bao Yi mentioned that Jay Chou was very popular in Korea and suggested that he use Korean to thank his Korean fans, he said, "The Chinese style is very dope, everyone needs to come and learn Chinese, we don't want to pander to the foreigners, that's what I've been doing since I first started."
For Chinese songs, Jay has absolute confidence, he said, "Speaking Chinese is the pride of the Chinese people, foreigners want to communicate with us, please learn Chinese."
For the promotion of Chinese songs, Jay sees it as a mission: "Chinese songs can really stand on the stage of the whole world, I want to use Chinese songs to conquer the world, I think the whole world has to hear Chinese songs."
In another interview, Jay was even more explicit: "We have to be proud of the fact that we are Chinese, and we have a very strong sense of national consciousness when we make music, and I hope that those who are ha-ha Korean and ha-ha Japanese will change your mind after hearing these songs."
And it's not just talk, Chinese-inspired songs abound in his compositions - Dragon Fist, Tea Brewed by Grandpa, Niang Zi, East Wind Break, Seven Miles of Fragrance, Chaotic Dance of Spring and Autumn, Hair Like Snow, and so on.
Invited to star in the Hollywood movie The Green Hornet, which allowed the studio to insert The Nunchucks into the end credits of The Green Hornet. In an interview, he also bluntly said that it was to promote the Chinese song.
Jay was also very determined when it came to plagiarizing Chinese culture. At the beginning of this year, South Korea attempted to "de-Chineseize" the Spring Festival, and many foreign media outlets changed their keywords to "Chinese New Year", which was originally fixed and common. Lunar New Year".
In these developments, there is a lot of China in the air, with ads in Times Square, the Chinese-style "Princess Wang", and the Chinese-style Fong writing the lyrics.
The last one is more direct, wrote "the sun rises in the East, only I will not be defeated, thank you, **** reluctant to," the bold words, not only let everyone feel the pride of being Chinese, but also said Jay has always followed the "Chinese culture is the most powerful" confidence.
In fact, Koreans love and hate Jay Chou. Back then, Zhou's self-directed "Unspeakable Secrets" was popular all over South Korea, and it was even regarded as a masterpiece, scoring 9.27 points in the Korean Movie Critics Network, with more than 30,000 people reviewing it.
In all kinds of variety shows, there are often about "Jay Chou" topic. The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo has also published an article: Jay Chou's success is a reflection of the Korean crisis.
Kim Tae-hee, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, and Moon Geun-young have all mentioned that they like Jay Chou. Choi Siwon has sung "Say Yes to Happiness" in concert.
Such a good Zhou Dong, according to the Korean character, naturally want to climb the relationship. This entry point is Kun Ling, who has a quarter of Korean blood in her. When Jay got married to Kun Ling, a lot of Korean media referred to him as his "Korean son-in-law".
Of course, Jay ignored it, or rather, he didn't see it.
Conclusion
In many people's opinion, Jay Chou is a bit "arrogant", but when you think about it, when you reach his height, will you do the same?
Jay has influenced an entire generation, and perhaps the only one who can beat him is himself!
