Actor: Thank you.

After the wrap party, Zhang Yuan led Liu Qianqian... and of course, Liu Xiaoli, the "burden", followed behind them.

Together, under the leadership of Jay Chou, they came to his own company.

That’s right, this person set up his own company at the end of last year.

He was discovered by Wu Zongxian, and then his original company went bankrupt, and he reorganized the company with several friends and managers.

Now he owns his own entertainment company.

From then on, whether releasing albums or making movies, he no longer needed to rely on others and could be completely independent.

From the shy anonymous person who was bored in the cubicle of the company, holding a guitar and writing songs.

There is even a photo of the famous scene that has been circulating on the Internet.

When he received the award for the first time in 01, he held the trophy and smiled foolishly, but no one paid any attention to him.

All the reporters gathered around another female singer for an interview.

This scene easily makes people imagine a skit of "If you ignore me today, I will make you out of my league tomorrow."

But that’s not actually the case.

At that time, Jay Chou was taking award-winning photos. The shooting area where he was standing was next to the interview area.

Because he won the grand prize, the interview was scheduled last and it was not his turn yet.

There is no such thing as being deliberately ignored.

But at that time, not many people knew who this squinty-eyed guy was.

From being ignored to becoming an absolute top singer among Chinese singers today.

He is even more than David Tao, Leehom Wang, JJ Lin and others of the same period.

It only took him seven years.

There is no need to use a photo to make up a cool story, because his life is a real inspirational and cool story.

"Look, I have these audio and recording equipment."

“They are all top-grade imported equipment.”

“Everything is designed to the standards of high-end recording studios in North America.”

Jay Chou took them on a tour and showed them off while pretending to be something else.

But it was obvious that the effect of his pretending was very mediocre.

Liu Xixi has produced albums in the professional recording studio of Sony Music's island headquarters.

Sony is very good at recording and audio equipment and is at the forefront of the world.

So when the Liu family mother and daughter looked at his equipment, they thought it was just average.

As for Zhang Yuan, he was quite supportive.

But he's seen better.

"How about it, is it cool?" Jay Chou still spoke the same way.

"Diao dick dick..." Zhang Yuan double-clicked 666.

Liu Xiaoli frowned on the side. Zhou Jielun was quite capable, but his tone was too vulgar.

The words used are not always very elegant.

Zhang Yuan is much better in this regard on weekdays.

However, Aunt Liu also noticed that Zhang Yuan could switch between elegant and vulgar styles at any time, and the key was to look at the other person.

"Of course it's awesome!" Seeing someone applauding him, Jay Chou raised his chin and boasted proudly.

"Do you know the world pop king, Michael Jackson?"

"I know that very well." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

"My equipment is based on his recording equipment, a one-to-one replica." Jay Chou is full of confidence.

"Then you might have been deceived."

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "His equipment is better than yours."

"Bullshit, how do you know?"

"You talk as if you've seen it before." Jay Chou felt that he was deliberately using words to put him down because he was envious.

Zhang Yuan: …

He knew because he had actually seen it.

MJ has a dedicated recording studio at home, which is more advanced than the one in his company.

After all, he is one of the world's top stars.

Moreover, in terms of recording production, North America is indeed much more advanced than China.

Even in later generations, domestic singers will still be proud to go to Europe and the United States to record and produce songs.

For those famous songs released by MJ in the 90s, ordinary people could feel the high clarity, low noise and distortion without the need for professionals. These were enough to crush % of the domestic recording studios more than a decade later.

After being retorted by him, Zhang Yuan wanted to refute.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

In fact, he could have proved himself that he had really seen MJ's recording studio.

The suitcase that the assistant was dragging contained the "holy relic" that MJ gave him, which was the moonwalk dance costume.

He can just take it out and "show off in front of others".

It is truly a "manifestation of God", this thing is equivalent to the yellow jacket in the pop music world.

But he didn't want to offend Jay Chou.

I'm also afraid that if I really take it out, this guy will snatch it away...

After all, when MJ was alive, the performance clothes he wore would have sold at auction for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

The price depends on which performance he wears it in.

If the concert is well-known and grand, the price will be higher.

Also, are there any gemstones or something like that?

After this person passed away, the price became even more incredible, increasing five to ten times.

Ten years later, because Jaycee Chan liked MJ, Uncle Long took a photo of a pair of silver silk gloves he had used at a charity dinner.

The price is $25.

This is still cheap. The auction prices of other gloves during the same period were basically above US$35.

This was the price in 10.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuan asked his assistant to pack this set of clothes in his suitcase and take it with him when he returned to China at the weekend.

He would feel uneasy without it by his side.

I was afraid that someone would break into the hotel and rob me.

He even put it in his carry-on luggage so he could carry it all the way to the plane without having to let it go.

Not even a suitcase.

This is because many airlines in Europe and the United States will inexplicably "lose" luggage.

Sometimes, the so-called "lost" means being sold out by an insider.

Moreover, European and American countries, especially low-cost airlines and airlines from small Nordic countries, will selectively select ethnic groups to "throw" luggage.

Because Chinese people like to carry expensive electronic products and large amounts of cash.

They are relatively quiet and peaceful, and are easily frightened.

Therefore, it has always been the first choice for "losing" luggage.

He was afraid of this situation, so he specifically told Zhao Xinxin not to let go.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the suitcase, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

After finishing the tour, we were arranged to sit in front of a set of playback equipment.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump..."

A familiar tune sounded.

Bamboo flute, guzheng and wooden drums take the lead.

Be the first to rush to the front.

The pipa, guqin and small gong followed closely behind.

Several folk musical instruments blend together perfectly to create a beautiful picture of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Misty rain in Jiangnan, beauties in cheongsam.

It is the utopia in the hearts of many people and one of the most representative images of China.

However, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to bringing about poetic and beautiful pictures, will also make the local buildings turn green and moldy, and begin to rot from the inside.

It is like poetry and history, just like the cycle of fate in the Jiangnan region.

"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you."

"The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending was blurred."

"Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself."

"You have a smile in your eyes..."

It's beautiful just by listening to it.

"Oh!" Liu Qianqian nodded continuously.

It turns out that the other party approached me because he wanted to perform in the MV of this song.

It's pretty.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her who was sitting next to him.

Ancient costumes, cheongsams, these outfits actually suit her very well!

Especially next year, he will also go to shoot a promotional video for Suzhou Wuzhong District.

Once the photo of her in royal blue satin cheongsam comes out, everyone will probably understand why Ang Lee wanted her to star in "Lust, Caution".

When the song ended, Jay Chou turned around and asked them proudly.

"How about it, not bad."

"very good."

"It sounds very nice, and very Chinese." Xiao Longnu replied with pursed lips.

Liu Xiaoli also nodded.

"It sounds very special, especially since Chinese musical instruments are used in it."

"It feels like there are really black-sailed boats and stone roads in front of us," Liu Qianqian praised again.

"Yes, it's special, especially the music." Zhang Yuan continued.

"You've recorded songs and studied vocal music professionally."

"Didn't you hear that?"

"What?" Xiao Longnu asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

"We Chinese have an idiom called 'tone-deaf'."

Roar... Liu Qianqian frowned and bared her teeth, glaring at him.

"Don't get excited, I'm not talking about you." Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained.

"Although you can't reach the high notes, the low notes, and there's a blockage in the middle, you're not tone-deaf."

"Hmm...hmm?" Liu Qianqian's expression just relaxed when she frowned again.

Aren't you still belittling me?
You are not allowed to tell the truth... Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and let the matter go.

"What I want to say is that the five tones are not complete, referring to Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu."

"This is the five Chinese tones, a sound that is unique to our nation." "Because the five tones correspond to the five voices, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, which correspond to the lips, tongue, teeth, nose, and throat respectively."

"It can also match the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

"Compared to Western musical notation, it is equivalent to do-re-mi-so-la, without the two notes fa and xi."

"Did you hear the two notes fa and xi in the song just now?"

Liu Qianqian thought about it carefully, then her eyes widened.

"Didn't hear it."

Zhang Yuan: …

If your mother hadn't been next to me, I would have hit you on the head!

But it’s true. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know and don’t pretend.

"Dachun, you are different from others, so don't play music in the future." Zhang Yuan said to her earnestly.

Why is the song "Blue and White Porcelain" so catchy and why does it have a special Chinese style?

Why do Chinese people feel a sense of closeness when they hear it?

This is what Jay Chou was thinking!
This song only has five notes, and two are missing on purpose!
This is equivalent to removing the parts that do not belong to the Chinese Five Tones from the song.

Looking at all his Chinese style songs, this one is the purest.

Anti-Korean Pioneer... this was his nickname back then.

Facing the invasion of Korean Wave, Jay Chou single-handedly supports half of the Chinese pop music scene.

This song is especially prominent since it is included in the album "I'm Busy", which is mainly a cowboy style album.

It is said that the quality of this album has declined seriously.

Where did this album slip? This album is amazing!

This one song is enough for an ordinary singer to perform for half his lifetime.

Jay Chou opened his squinting eyes wide,

"wipe!"

"He figured it out after just one listen!"

"Absolute pitch?"

Jay Chou himself has absolute pitch, and it is the most advanced innate absolute pitch, not the kind that can be trained later in life.

He was very proud of this song and showed it to many people during the creation process.

But except Zhang Yuan, no one noticed the burden he left behind.

"It looks like a stand of the same type as me."

He suddenly felt like he had met a soulmate.

He is Zhong Ziqi and Zhang Yuan is Yu Boya.

He is Lian Po, and Zhang Yuan is Lin Xiangru.

He is Dongni Da Mu, and Zhang Yuan is Aoi...

"Oh, so that's how it is." Liu Qianqian looked at him with admiration and envy: "You are so awesome."

I wrote the song, and you praised him... Jay Chou was very depressed.

"Jay Chou, the song is great." Zhang Yuan said to him.

"I know you want us to work together to help you shoot a music video."

Zhang Yuan pointed at himself and Liu Qianqian.

Long Yang CP is still very popular now.

He also had this idea.

"You also said that you were planning to do a story about reincarnation in both ancient and modern styles."

“I think this idea is interesting.”

Zhang Yuan naturally said this in a compliment.

In fact, it was in his previous album, "Chopin in November".

The MV of the song "Hair Like Snow" actually used the idea of ​​reincarnation in two lives.

And the theme is the same, a man and a woman, from ancient times to the present, no matter how time passes, they can never be together.

"Hair Like Snow" is a story about a knight's woman who, out of jealousy and hatred, killed the knight's true love.

After reincarnation, the knight passed by his true love, but the woman holding his arm was still the woman who killed his true love in his previous life.

He kept looking back, looking at the familiar figure that was gradually moving away.

So will the tragedy of the previous life be repeated in this life?

It leaves room for the audience's imagination.

The setting of "Blue and White Porcelain" is that the heroine is raped by a bully, and the hero fights his way into the bully's house and exchanges true love for a precious blue and white porcelain vase.

But after getting the bottle, the bully shot the woman from behind.

It's not easy for the hero to hug the woman and cry bitterly.

After reincarnating into the modern era, the two met at an auction of the same blue and white porcelain.

Women are still the exclusive prey of bullies.

But the two met and fell in love.

After being discovered by the bully, the male protagonist was killed by the bully.

The heroine hugged him in her arms and cried bitterly.

Two reincarnations, this moment, is just like that moment.

They are still separated by yin and yang, but the genders are swapped.

Maybe, the male protagonist is here to repay his debt.

This kind of fatalistic subject matter has a large audience.

After Jay Chou finished telling the general idea of ​​the story, Xiao Long Nu also became quite interested.

"Then I'll make the decision."

"We can help you shoot without charging any fees."

"Hey..." Liu Xiaoli wanted to stop him after hearing him say that.

Why did you help my daughter for free? But then I remembered that Zhang Yuan never does business at a loss.

Even if it seems like a loss, you can always make it back.

I stopped talking casually, intending to wait and see what he would say.

"It's OK if you don't want to be paid."

“But there are still a few requirements.”

"Whatever." Jay Chou said as soon as he heard that he was willing to shoot.

Not only was I willing to do it, but I also got the other person to do it, so I was naturally happy.

"First of all, we can shoot it, but I have the final say on the release date and method of this song and MV."

"Ah?" Jay Chou didn't understand what he meant.

"You see, Secret is starring you and Sissi, and I'm the guest star."

"We both star in this music video, and you sing the lead."

"Between the two, there are three of us."

"So I want you to use this song to promote the film."

"Oh!" Jay Chou understood immediately.

Liu Xiaoli also came back to her senses.

"He still has a quick mind!"

"If it's for film promotion, it's okay not to charge money."

"After all, the publicity was good and the film did well at the box office, so Sissi got a share of the profits, which increased her income."

"It's not in vain. I'm helping myself while helping others."

Jay Chou thought so too.

He also gets a share of the box office revenue!
If the publicity is good, you can also earn more.

And he benefits from both ends, as the song and the video promote each other!
Seeing his happy expression, Zhang Yuan knew that this guy had taken the bait!

Then, it’s hunting time!

"You think this is a good idea, don't you?"

"great!"

"It has to be between the two of us. No one else can have this effect, right?"

"That's for sure!" Jay Chou clapped his hands.

They don’t even talk about promotion, but with their current popularity and fame, it’s generally hard to find MVs for them.

And this is without pay.

Where can I find such a good thing?
"Then it's settled."

"Hurry up and come up with a plan and notice so we can cooperate with you in the filming."

"And if you want to shoot it, make it the best it can be. I'll help you find a film director to do it."

"Who?"

"Ning Hao."

Big Head is an expert in shooting MVs. All the money lost by the movie was earned from shooting MVs.

Asking a film director to shoot a MV is a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Hahaha, that's great, great!" Jay Chou was extremely excited.

He’s a director who has made tens of millions at the box office!

If there weren't so many people around, he would definitely dance with joy.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan not only came himself and asked the heroine to come, but also made things even better by finding a big director to help him.

Sniff...Liu Qianqian on the side sniffed.

At the same time, he looked at Zhang Yuan who was smiling.

"He made the other person so happy..."

"You're not going to do anything bad, are you?"

She has experience. Zhang Yuan smiled and knew that it was definitely not a "good thing".

"Are you happy?"

"Happy!"

"Are you satisfied?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied!" Jay Chou didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Well, since you are satisfied with my arrangement, let's talk about the compensation."

"After all, brothers should settle accounts clearly."

"Payment?" Jay Chou's smile froze: "Didn't you say you didn't want any pay?"

"Yes, I don't want any pay." Zhang Yuan pointed to the playback device beside him.

"I just want half of the copyright of this song..." (End of this chapter)
