It's a shame that he wasn't recognize world wide despite had incredible music talents, during his peaks, his musical sense always ahead of time but unfortunately audiences couldn't follow up. One small example would be 2011, he already came up Autotune music but got criticized heavily (many doesn't like it), till 2012 when AT became a trend and likeable in world wide, then his fans started to accept his Autotune songs. His vocals part is meant to serve the music, so you can treat it's like a instrument, means even thew vocals part removed, you still can enjoy it like a normal music. He did mumble rap in 2001 (while mumble rap started trend around 2010). Hes the only person in cpop who did well in mixing classical elements into other music genres. if you really like this song, then i recommend his dark trilogy. 1. In the name of father (tribute to Godfather movie) 2. Wounds of war 3. Twilight: Chapter seven (tribute to Sherlock holmes) (Cpop god tier level, although there is no official instrument version but you can check out this video ua-cam.com/video/udlxkEF78dA/v-deo.html , 0:00 - 3:48 this was replicated by fans through Midi as close as possible (some instrument quality might doesn't sound nice, violin example), but you definitely will appreciate the beautiful details and complexity of the music composition) Fun fact, 90% of his songs are in top 50 in apple china ranking, has most listeners in daily/monthly/yearly (China), doubled or tripled the count of 2nd rank singer. He always consider himself as musician first, singer 2nd, then also MV director, record producer, song-writer, pianist, magician (yes, he like to do magics ua-cam.com/video/JpUJiVabvEg/v-deo.html) He also music composer, director, actor, script writer, producer of his own first movie "Secret", a movie that extremely hot in Korea to the point where Korea bought the movie license and re-screen 3 times, 90% Korean watched the movie that include Korea actors/actress and Kpop idols, and some of them even learnt the piano pieces/musics in the movie. The movie is Top 1 (in korea, teen romance) based on survey, beat Titanic (which is 2nd). Release 9 albums in 10 years, total 15 albums. i'll just stop here coz too much to say about him, he just too talented. Hope you enjoy.
Jay Chou is extremely popular in Asia. He's even been in some American films, such as the Green hornet. Views on UA-cam dont reflect his popularity as China doesnt use the platform. The king of mandopop!!!
“Thig guy can play the piano” Welp Jay is one of that typical asian kid where people usually say “the 6yo asian kid with 8years experience of playing piano” 😂 he’s a trained classical pianist
Another is the famous pianist Lang Lang. Jay is a musical genius, he is a legend in the China musical scene, Jay has the most Chinese fan base in history.
Jay Chou is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, music producer, and actor, director I think you've heard Jay Chou's song before, I remember that you've reacted to Hua Chenyu's cover of "Nunchucks", which is a song by Jay Chou composed in 2001. You can react(or listen) to Jay Chou's "In the Name of the Father" (2003), "Wounds of War" (2004), "Fearless" (2006)
In 2000, Jay Chou released his debut album "Jay", which is affiliated with the record label Alfa Music. Since then, his music has received accolades throughout Asia, particularly in Taiwan, Chinese mainland, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and the Asian community in Western countries such as the United States and Australia. Jay Chou is one of the most influential musicians in the history of Chinese pop music, with more than 2.47 million albums sold in Taiwan and won many awards for his music work, including 15 Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and 2 MTV Asia Awards. Jay Chou also writes songs for other artists. In 2003, he appeared on the cover of Time magazine (Asian edition) and has since embarked on six world tours
The Chinese painter in the MV is Sanyu or Chang Yu (14 October 1901 - August 1966) was a Chinese-French painter. The last artist in the MV is Xu Zhimo (15 January 1897 - 19 November 1931) was a Chinese romantic poet who strove to loosen Chinese poetry from its traditional forms and to reshape it under the influences of Western poetry and the vernacular Chinese language.
n the beginning, the building where Jay Chou played the piano was the Ladies’ department store in Paris, the Samaritan department store. Jay Chou wanted to go back to the past by playing Secret to find some great works in various fields (there are columns on the back of the notebook, they are Rene ．Margaret, Dali, Sanyu (played by Du Ge), Monet, Xu Zhimo and ???), and the MV and lyrics also echo each other, and they appear one by one in the order of the characters in the notebook. The red-nosed clown in the restaurant is Echoing Rene, because Rene has a famous painting called "Son of Man", which uses a green apple to cover the face of the protagonist in the painting, Jay Chou combined magic to turn his red ball into a green apple, not a pipe of a pipe and a pigeon on his face Not flying away is describing Rene's works, and the second classic painting of Dalí with a beard appears in the MV of Bedside Stories. Dalí is a surrealist painter. In the paintings, some metal or hard substances can be seen to become soft. With a loose appearance, Jay Chou used the magic of spoon-bending to express his inspiration. He lent it to Dali, don't have to pay it back, but humorously, the lobster phone is Dali's famous sculpture. And Sanyu played by Brother Du is a French-Chinese painter. The MV is painting "Blue and White Pots and Chrysanthemums", but Jay Chou also used magic to make the flowers bloom more densely, which startled Sanyu. So I gave him a painting. Lang Lang should have also traveled back from the department store by a time traveler, and more than once, because he and Sanyu seemed to know each other well, maybe he knew that Jay Chou was the representative of the piano, and wanted to go back and play the piano with him. Later, Jay Chou invited Monet to help him paint portraits. Monet had a series of paintings of water lilies. Jay Chou turned the lotus flowers on the wall into entities for him, which also incorporated magic techniques. By the way, the sunrise mentioned in the lyrics The impression is also Monet's painting. In addition, Monet asked him to talk about his impression of himself, which is exactly what he wanted to convey. He is the king of music. In the end, the note handed by Xu Zhimo read "Scales and Claws of Paris". "Scales and Claws of Paris" is Xu Zhimo's representative prose work, describing all kinds of life in Paris. When the round legs are used to describe his shock, Jay Chou's transformation of tea into coffee corresponds to Xu Zhimo's saying that "Paris will be less cute if there are no cafes". In the end, Jay Chou looked at the notebook and wondered who represented the piano. There were three question marks, and the answer should be Jay Chou. Back at the beginning, Jay Chou and his friends of the Lady's Department Store reviewed some records of this trip through time and space. Lang came out with a flashlight, his expression was like saying to Jay Chou, there is no need to go back to find the great representative of the piano, even you, you can't find it when you go back, because you are creating greatness...
Jay Chou para mi es el mejor artista del mundo, tiene ya más de 2 decadas de una carrera muy exitosa ❤ es cantante, actor, compositor, director y productor, es de las personalidades más importantes en Asia sin embargo aqui en el continente americano es muy poco conocido 😓
Ahhh... I see that you’ve finally found our Taiwan’s Heavenly King. He is well known for his mumbling rap style and he’s the creator of introducing Chinese elements/instruments/poetic verses mixing with western style music as well as having the best harmony singing in the background (all sung by him) in those slow ballads. all of his songs are composed by him n about 30% of the lyrics are written by him as well(well over 150 songs). He had composed his songs in all different kinds of genre already. Pretty much everything from rap, hiphop, rock, gothic, metal, country, classical, folk, jazz, traditional chinese, and even latin! And he covers all different themes of subjects; from war, love, mafia, drugs, drifting/cars, basketball, poetry, arts, chinese medicine, murder mystery, ninja, magic… everything. In his recents years, hes been also directing most of his mvs. finally, here are some recommendations for you of his songs. Most are prettyyy old, but thats to give you a taste of why he’s famous for what he does. His more recent music are good too, but just thought that you should start with his most classic stuff first to get use to him....

Sorry for the loonnnngggg post, just couldnt stop talking about Jay! Enjoy!
First time seeing this and him. I enjoyed it. Wasn't sure if he was making memories or collecting items that would be worth a lot of money such as the drawing. So are they memories or are they are way to make money. Absolutely no idea about the guy, whether he just like hopped into their Time Warp and came back with them or if he had originally gone with them in the first place? I don't know, I'm stumped. I'm just too tired to try to figure it out. I really liked the Video though😎 Add: More like a scavenger hunt
My interpretation of the music video is that Jay Chou is a time traveller and goes back in time to inspire some of the great modern artists, and pieces of art regarded as their magnum opus through the use of magic. The song title and lyrics are an ode to the greatest works of art by those artists.
Sorry I’m so late to this but I’m glad I saw it💞. I really like Jay Chou’s music. You’ve also heard Zhou Shen sing one of his songs, Lan Ting Xu (Orchid Pavilion Preface). Also the other playing the piano, Lang Lang, is an amazing pianist. If you enjoy the piano you should check him out ua-cam.com/video/cIxGUAnj46U/v-deo.html. He’s also played with Zhou Shen 😂💕
Asian people admire and learn hard about European’s history, arts and cultures, however European and North American almost know nothing about Asian’s cultures but prejudice left in their minds. There was an old saying on the book of “ the art of war” in ancient China over 2000 years before --“If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win numerous battles without jeopardy.”-- Every Chinese kids learn and know it. How do you think about it?
he s is our god of chinese music history ever, he voice got damaged , his earlier 2000s way better , 15 albums all masterpiece. youtube is blocked over there otherwise he will be more popular cuz he got billion fans oversea
It's a shame that he wasn't recognize world wide despite had incredible music talents, during his peaks, his musical sense always ahead of time but unfortunately audiences couldn't follow up. One small example would be 2011, he already came up Autotune music but got criticized heavily (many doesn't like it), till 2012 when AT became a trend and likeable in world wide, then his fans started to accept his Autotune songs.
His vocals part is meant to serve the music, so you can treat it's like a instrument, means even thew vocals part removed, you still can enjoy it like a normal music.
He did mumble rap in 2001 (while mumble rap started trend around 2010).
Hes the only person in cpop who did well in mixing classical elements into other music genres.
if you really like this song, then i recommend his dark trilogy.
1. In the name of father (tribute to Godfather movie)
2. Wounds of war
3. Twilight: Chapter seven (tribute to Sherlock holmes) (Cpop god tier level, although there is no official instrument version but you can check out this video ua-cam.com/video/udlxkEF78dA/v-deo.html , 0:00 - 3:48 this was replicated by fans through Midi as close as possible (some instrument quality might doesn't sound nice, violin example), but you definitely will appreciate the beautiful details and complexity of the music composition)
Fun fact, 90% of his songs are in top 50 in apple china ranking, has most listeners in daily/monthly/yearly (China), doubled or tripled the count of 2nd rank singer.
He always consider himself as musician first, singer 2nd, then also MV director, record producer, song-writer, pianist, magician (yes, he like to do magics ua-cam.com/video/JpUJiVabvEg/v-deo.html)
He also music composer, director, actor, script writer, producer of his own first movie "Secret", a movie that extremely hot in Korea to the point where Korea bought the movie license and re-screen 3 times, 90% Korean watched the movie that include Korea actors/actress and Kpop idols, and some of them even learnt the piano pieces/musics in the movie. The movie is Top 1 (in korea, teen romance) based on survey, beat Titanic (which is 2nd).
Release 9 albums in 10 years, total 15 albums.
i'll just stop here coz too much to say about him, he just too talented.
Hope you enjoy.

You are right, it is difficult to precisely translate chinese to english and sometimes may mislead. but you got the point somehow~
