Unfulfilled Before his name, he couldn't afford satin sheets or a Ducati motorcycle, and there were no groupies screaming and intoxicated at his concerts, and there were no girls who made pilgrimages just to touch the piano seat where he sat; there were All that is left is this small area of ??golden floor between the leather sofa and the blue-green wall, located in the recording room of Alfa Records in a gray building in East Taipei.

This was Jay Chou’s only small world back then. A small gap where he could curl up and take a nap, where he repeatedly dreamed of melody and lyrics. When fragments of the song came to him like sleepwalking vocal cords, he would get up, stagger to the keyboard, and play the melody like a night scene. Write it as a musical score or record it as a demo tape... For two years, Jay Chou complied with the contract and was paid 20,000 yuan per song. He rarely left the soundproof room on the seventh floor and concentrated on writing songs for mediocre talents and popular faces. singer sings.

In this idol-heavy instant music circle, the success of 24-year-old Jay Chou is a miracle. Most of the other male singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan come from wealthy entertainment families. How did this kid with over-occluded upper and lower front teeth, a hooked nose, and a retracted chin replace Nicholas Tse, Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung and become Asia's most popular pop singer? The answer starts from that crowded recording room, from the principle of winning with music and revolutionary creativity.

Jay Chou said: "Most of my female fans will not tell me that I am handsome; on the contrary, they will tell me that they like my music and are attracted by my music."

Young At that time, Jay Chou seemed a bit autistic and stupid. The high school English teacher thought Jay Chou had a learning disability: "He had a dull expression on his face. I thought he was stupid." This kid couldn't concentrate on math and science classes, and even his English homework was wasted. But Zhou's mother, Ye Huimei, noticed that this quiet and shy child had been particularly sensitive to Western pop or classical music since he was a child.

“He was keen on music before he could walk,” she recalled. Zhou's mother sent him to piano class when he was four years old, and he played well, like a piano fanatic. A high school piano teacher said that when Jay Chou was a teenager, he could perform improvisationally. After leaving the piano room, Jay Chou was an ordinary teenager. While other classmates were playing basketball nearby, he repeatedly watched Kung Fu movies and played games. While others were busy preparing for the college entrance examination, he skipped classes, practiced twice as much, and lived aimlessly.

Music saved him and brought him luck. A school girl helped him sign up for "Super Rookie King", Taiwan's idol selection program. The producer of the show later contacted the surprised Jay Chou and asked him to participate in the show. But Jay Chou didn't dare to sing solo. Eventually, he played piano accompaniment for a friend who wanted to be a singer. Very poor acting. At that time, the host of the show, Wu Zongxian, was always looking for new people. He glanced at the nervous piano accompanist and the singer whose voice sounded like a crow, and thought, forget it! Wu Zongxian said: "I don't think it sounds good at all. The singer sang really badly." However, he looked at the music score: "I glanced at the music score from behind the referee's shoulder, and the result was amazing. It was very complicated. Great job." After recording, Wu Zongxian walked backstage to find Jay Chou, who was wearing a baseball cap that almost covered his eyes. Wu Zongxian recalled: "My first impression of him was that he was very quiet and shy. I thought he was autistic."

Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time. A year and a half later, Wu Zongxian decided After handing over the management rights of Alfa Records to his friend and singer Yang Junrong, Jay Chou moved from behind the scenes to the front and became an idol singer. Within 3 months, Jay Chou completed his first album.

Now, Jay Chou is sitting calmly on the leather sofa, wearing a gray and white woolen hat, covering his slightly brooding brown eyes, and wearing a black velvet track suit. He went from studio weirdo to pop star overnight, almost too quickly, so quickly that he was unsettlingly burdened with the physical and mental pressures of fame and success. He speaks concisely, answers briefly, and often avoids other people's eyes.

Where is that mature masculinity that gives the songs depth and emotion?
