Sing the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, my music can come true

Chapter 151 "Peninsula Iron Box"
Then Jingshan was frightened and had a deep psychological shadow.

That night, he had a nightmare.

I dreamed that I became the little boy in the MV, trapped in a cage-like room.

Excruciating pain.

So many years later.

Everyone in Jingshan feels the painful feeling of being trapped in a prison of reality and curse, unable to escape.

This should be the projection formed in his childhood psychology after watching the MV that time.

When he grew up, Jingshan once listened to the song "Peninsula Iron Box" on a crazy loop, hoping to break the shadow of his childhood.

But the melody of the song got deep into his heart.

He still felt terrified when he saw the MV for this song.

Childhood shadows are not easily overcome.

until now.

Jingshan couldn't even figure out why Jay Chou made such a scary MV.

He could understand that Jay Chou wanted to express what was locked deep in people's hearts, which was often painful and distorted and would not be beautiful.

Just like tragedies are often more deeply rooted in people's hearts than comedies, they will leave a deeper impact and longer-term memory.

But he still didn't understand why Jay Chou used such a terrifying MV to express such emotions.

There are rumors that Jay Chou was frightened by "The Grudge" that was released that year, and got inspiration from "The Grudge", and that's when he came up with the idea of ​​filming this MV.

This MV is indeed like "The Grudge". The crazy woman and the little boy in white clothes in it have a clear sense of Japanese horror.

If it were really because of "The Grudge" that I filmed the MV for "Peninsula Iron Box".

The joke that Jay Chou made with his fans was too big.

At least it caused a childhood shadow for Jingshan that may never go away.

……

With deep helplessness and resentment towards this song.

Jingshan bit the bullet and started today's challenge.

The MV started.

Take the sound of wind chimes opening the store door as an introduction.

The OS giant who often appeared in Jay Chou's works asked the female shop assistant: "Miss, do you sell "Peninsula Iron Box"?"

Female salesperson: “Yes, you can get it on the second row of shelves from the front, turning right!”

Ju Pao: "Oh yes, thank you."

Saleswoman: "No."

……

This background sound should have been a sparse and ordinary conversation with a little warmth.

The MV features an extremely resentful girl in a white dress.

The picture is still black and white.

And there are flashes of rats eating and ferocious dogs barking.

From the very beginning, it is full of the horror of "The Grudge".

It made Jing Shan feel uncomfortable all over.

At first, Jingshan thought that the scary woman in the white dress who appeared at the beginning of the MV was the female shop assistant in the background sound.

The result is not.

The female shop assistant in the background is Jay Chou's former colleague at Alpha, named Wan'er.

Because my voice is very pure, I was asked to record the OS for the song. The resentful girl in the MV has nothing to do with the female shop assistant...

The plot behind the MV is even weirder.

Jay Chou looked inside through the keyhole of an ancient box, and all he saw were strange and horrifying scenes.

For example, the little boy in "The Grudge" is struggling strangely on the white bed;

The flames of hell rush towards you;

A giant white eyeball as big as a basketball at the end of the hallway;

The silent woman lay leaning against the wall and peeked;
The Grim Reaper of the West, the horrifying mad woman, the nail marks on the wall, and the wall-facing little boy imprisoned in the room came one after another...

If it weren't for watching the subtitles and singing, Jingshan would have really wanted to do this challenge with his eyes closed, and no longer look at these pictures that left a shadow on his childhood.

Fortunately, the melody of Jay Chou's song is very warm, and the modulation is particularly delicate.

People will be immersed in the whirlpool of the melody without realizing it.

The modulation of this song is not as simple as raising the last chorus of a song to a minor second.

This song has 6 key changes, including the OS part at the beginning and end of the song. The key changes are as follows:

Bb key → B key → Ab key → B key → Ab key → A key → Bb key.

Every time the key is changed, it will give people a feeling of spatial transformation.

Based on this feature alone, this song should be the one with the greatest change in the sense of space among Jay Chou's works. To be conservative, it can be added to the list.

The lyrics of this song were written by Jay Chou himself, which is quite a stream of consciousness.

Just looking at the melody and lyrics, it is full of memories and reluctance of old love.

There is no scary texture at all:
"...

Turn off the corridor lights and put your schoolbags away~
Go to the room window and look out~
Thinking back to the book I just bought~
A book called Peninsula Iron Box~
Pile a lot of them next to the bed~
Page [-], [-], Page [-], Preface~
I would never have imagined~
If you read this book with me, you will leave~
……

No more ~ ​​no more ~
Can't see it now~
The keyhole of the iron box~
Through the light, I can see that it has been rusted for a long time~
So old, so old~
The dust from the outside surrounds me~
so dark so dark~
I can't find the key to the iron box~
......"

As if there was something in his mouth, Jingshan completely used Jay Chou's early stream-of-consciousness singing method, humming the song vaguely, and the rhythm was all in time.

It doesn't matter whether the lyrics are sung clearly or not.

Anyway, this is how Jay Chou sang in the original version, and it is basically impossible to tell what he is singing.

The biggest advantage of doing this is to blur people's impression and analysis of the lyrics in their minds, so that they can pay more attention to the appreciation of the melody.

Just like many people who don't understand English songs, they think the melody of English songs is very nice.

The reason why they think the melody of English songs is better is because they don't understand what the English songs are singing.

Subconsciously, I focused my appreciation on the melody, and then I felt that the melody of the English song was better.

Jay Chou's stream-of-consciousness singing style is somewhat similar to this.

It just makes you unable to hear what he is singing, so you pay more attention to the melody of his songs.

Even his pronunciation serves the melody, deliberately turning the lyrics into a melody to highlight the beauty of the melody.

This song "Peninsula Iron Box" is particularly obvious in this regard.

Everything about the song is designed to serve melody and spatial transformation.

A change of tone.

Jingshan clearly felt that the space was transformed when he sang:
"...

The sweetness placed next to the candy is something I really want to remember~
However, after filtering you and me, we became beautiful~
What is sunk in the box is the happiness you gave me~
I really want to remember~but I can't~
......"

The mode changed again, and Jingshan was pulled into a new tin box space by the melody:
"...

Why is it like this~
You pulled me and said you were hesitant~
Why is it like this~
It hasn’t stopped raining yet, so hold an umbrella and leave~
I’m used to it~ I won’t stop you~
After a while~ you will come back~
The love in my impression seems to be unable to withstand that time~
……

Why is it like this~
You look at me and say you have decided~
I can't hold you~
His hands should be warmer than mine~
The preface to the iron box ~ turned into a diary ~
Became air~evolved into memories~
The love in my impression~ seems to be unable to withstand that time~
So you abstain~
......"
