Those who love Jay Chou's fans will probably love him as much as those who love their friends
Those who love their fans
Those who love Jay Chou will probably love his fans. Many people have described him as "the man behind Jay Chou's success", and although this nickname sounds awkward, it does prove the value of Fang Wenshan to the entire pop music scene.
As Jay's new book, "The Magnificence of D," was a huge seller, Fong followed suit with his own inspirational book, "Act Your Own Idol," which uses his own experiences and those of his friends around him to convey to readers some of the lessons he has learned about dealing with people in the world.
Hardships: Helping out with delivery
Fang was originally a disenchanted young man in the suburbs of Taipei, who struggled to fulfill his dreams in the city. Over the past seven or eight years, he has worked as a salesman for anti-theft equipment and as a delivery boy, and the hardships of life have made him realize the importance of opportunity.
His original dream was to be a good movie scriptwriter and then a qualified movie director, but the overall decline of movies in Taiwan at that time discouraged him from doing so, so he had to settle for writing lyrics, hoping to achieve his wish in a roundabout way.
At the time, he sent hundreds of these "cover letters" to record labels and musicians of all sizes, but they never went anywhere.
Opportunity: Meet Jay Chou
Finally, at 12 midnight one night, Fang suddenly received a phone call from the celebrity Wu Zongxian, inviting him to work in his newly established music studio. The sudden surprise made Fang Wenshan excited, and then summarized one of his motto: "Opportunity is more important than strength." But there is another additional condition "When strength is not enough, opportunities are definitely lost."
For himself, Fong believes that up to now total **** met the two best opportunities, one is discovered by Wu Zongxian, become a full-time lyricist, the other is to meet Jay Chou, become a pair of complementary strengths of the golden partner.
Fong and Jay were recruited by Wu in the same batch of staff, in addition to more than a dozen other colleagues, some of whom specialized in lyrics and some in music composition, and Wu allowed them to combine freely and try to pair up with different colleagues. At that time, Jay Chou's tunes became the most sought-after, but every time, only Fang Wenshan could accurately guess his mind and write lyrics that were a perfect match. Thus, the combination of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan was gradually fixed.
Collaboration: willing to do for others
Jay Chou and Fong Wenshan were both "acquired" by Taiwan's Alpha Records, and the two were given unlimited space to expand their development, and Jay Chou quickly emerged as the king of creative newcomers in all of Asia, while Fong Wenshan also topped the title of "royal lyricist" in the industry, which was the first time that Jay Chou and Fong Wenshan had been recognized in the industry. The two men have made a name for themselves in the industry," he said.
Fans of Jay Chou's songs know that any song with lyrics written by Fong and music composed by Jay Chou is sure to be of high caliber.
Fang's quotes
●Jay Len is a giant in music and a midget in life!
●Jay Len can compose for two to three hours without leaving his seat, and every time he does it, it's all in one go.
●Usually, Jay makes up the song first and then gives it to me for lyrics. If it's a fast song, he will tell me the feeling he wants, for example, "Nunchaku" he wants the flavor of Bruce Lee, "Ninja" has to highlight the Japanese flavor, I follow his thinking and then create the lyrics, basically can achieve each other's ideal requirements. And if it's a lyrical slow song, Jay has no claim, mostly I think of my own theme, and he will certainly recognize.
Jaren is still very righteous, almost every time we go out together, he ends up paying the bill, we describe him as a "living wallet"
Fang Wenshan, the man behind Jay Chou
Most people only know about Fong after they know about Jay Chou. Fong is a young man, but this young man has his own unique sense of history, interpreting his own musical concepts in the context of history and time, which is rare these days. I love you, you love me is already the mainstream of pop music, but Fang Wenshan's works in the above structural mode at the same time, but a unique way to pursue the classical sentiment, such as "love in the West" to trace the remains of the ancient civilization, "Shanghai 1943" to the father's generation of emotional remembrance, "Mother" and so on the infiltration of these classical nostalgic musical elements for the current fast-food style of love songs, undoubtedly a great subversion. This young man is beyond his years. This young man has a grasp and understanding of history that is beyond his years, but in fact, Fong has done it very well. A young man in his own music to complete the interpretation and construction of history and civilization and through the music to convey to the public (note that the public here refers to most of the audience group of 15 to 25, the most dynamic market group), so that this part of the young people who are already relatively weak in history and humanities to feel the classical texture, and through the music they can be. The quality of history and humanities has been relatively weak in this part of the young people to feel the classical texture, and through the way they can accept to experience the modern society has long disappeared in the human nature of the simple things.
But Fong's lyrics deliberately create an illusory mood, with ancient battlefields, vanished civilizations, and eerie legends all becoming his imagery. In today's post-modernism, he is not exempt from it. Fang Wenshan's grasp of the emotions of young people in modern society, if Li Zongsheng's lyrics is an old man's heartbreaking memories, then Fang Wenshan's lyrics are concerned with this time, on the current emotional entanglements, love, love, empathy, etc., compared to Li's lyrics more a sense of the times, so it is easier to be accepted by young people and appreciate.
In a sense, Fang Wenshan has brought pop music back from the sound of music to the fusion of classical and historical music, nostalgia and sincerity. With a wide range of lyrical styles, in addition to those mentioned above, as well as many of the fantastically macabre "Castle William," and so on, Fang is a cultural phenomenon that deserves to be studied.
Fang Wenshan, who became Jay Chou's best partner and entered the Chinese pop music industry, has a strong ethnic flavor in his lyrics, which are full of images and text cuts like a movie scene, which is the biggest feature of his works; his self-contained lyrics are unique in the field of traditional lyrics. So far, Fang's lyrics for Jay Chou are as good as they come: "Dragon Fist", "Double-Cutting Stick", "Double Knife", "Love Before the Western Era", "Shanghai 1943", "Fort William", "East Wind Break", "Seven Miles", "Hair Like Snow", "Huo Yuanjia", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Blue and White Porcelain", and "No Shuang", and so on.
