The pilot documentary shows that the main filming location is Paris, involving scenes such as flea markets, old pianos, stations, and opera houses (it is unclear which places will appear in the MV). The song style should be gothic as always. wind.

A few points worth paying attention to in the documentary: 1. Jay Chou mentioned several times that he wanted to write an old song, so he tried an antique piano (the origin can be traced back to the end of the 19th century) at a flea market. In 1872, he seemed to think that the price of more than 1 million euros was too expensive, and he didn’t know whether he would buy it in the end), so he also bought an old-fashioned microphone from the 1950s;

2. The filming recorded several times of Jay Chou The experience of writing songs in a station for several hours (the Paris Metro was opened in 1900); 3. Recording at the Paris Opera House (designed in 1861 and opened in 1875), and the topic of shooting a music video was mentioned. "Who said you have to find beautiful places to shoot music videos? Recordings can also be done."

Based on the time clues presented in various scenes in the documentary, "Old Times in Paris" may be a hidden theme of the new album.

Irresponsible speculation: According to Jay Jay’s 20th anniversary vinyl record operation method, the physical CD may be a limited edition or commemorative work. The price is not expensive, and you can buy one if you have the conditions. (At the current pace, I don’t know when the next one will be). Judging from the rhythm of Jay Chou's songs and the information about this limited release, the collection value is also very high.

In addition, since the "Jay Chou 20 Collection Box" that comes with the complete set of vinyl records for the 20th anniversary of Jay Chou's debut has already reserved the collection space for the 15th album (that is, this one), so this A CD can complete the last link of the entire collection, and the value of the collection will be higher. (According to this logic, the so-called CD may be a vinyl disc, or the vinyl will be released separately)

If pre-sale channels are provided in China, there should be news in early July. If you just want to listen to the music, you can wait for the digital version. If you want to "really own" it, the physical version is still the most recommended choice. After all, no one can say anything about digital copyright. It’s just that the cost is a bit expensive, and I guess most fans don’t have corresponding playback equipment at home...
