Jay Chou's "Sailors are Afraid of Water" how to understand what he is talking about and what he wants to express?
The title of the song "Sailors are Afraid of Water" was exposed by Jay Chou in an interview with men's uno magazine, along with "The End of the World". In November 211, Jay announced the song in a clever way in the on-the-hour broadcast of hit fm, which was the same as last year's video promoting Superman's inability to fly, rain all night and free teaching. Sailors are afraid of water is a brand-new style of Ragtime, hip-hop rap and B-Box, which was initiated by Jay Chou. No one has tried this style in Chinese music. In addition, it is rare for Jay Chou to "arrange music" for this song this time, just to show the unique original style of Zhou, instead of sampling the existing Ragtime piano melody. Ragtime is piano music prevailing in the 189s, which was played in the New Orleans Bar in the south of the United States or on the steamboat on the Mississippi River. Jay Chou seems to have an ancient musical soul, and the new style shows the retro taste of a hundred years ago. Jay Chou said: "The piano seems to be really my time machine, and I can go back to any century through the piano." The sailors described in the lyrics are allergic to seafood and have been vegetarian for a long time. They want to be singers but become sailors. The "ling" of the alarm clock and the Taiwanese "ㄋㄧㄨㄌ)[liun] are similar in pronunciation", which are quite interesting in the lyrics. Jay Chou said: "This song is written by Huang Junlang, who wrote" Cowboy is Busy "before. It should be humorous and humorous. The big scene of this MV should also be made good use of. The album cover and inner page are taken, plus interesting post-production. I hope fans will like it." The combination of real-life shooting and the cover and inner pages of American comics is also from Jay's idea. The cover of the new album is that sailor Jay Chou is fishing but is teased by the sly octopus behind him, and the lovely interest is vividly on the paper. The ice cream teacher used the sailor, Honey, Money and other elements described in the lyrics, and then extended the concept of boxing. With the retro house combined with tap dance steps, he compiled this "Sailor Boxing Dance". Jay Chou also put his creativity on the spot and put lifebuoys on the dancers. The game of hoop in kuso night market has turned the dancers into dolls, which is full of fun. "Sailors are afraid of water" MV adopts elements full of creative humor and kuso. Apart from the appearance of giant ships, the berths, walkways and bars in cabins built at no cost are all real. The scenes are not only spectacular, but also unique in details. It cost 4 million yuan, took two days to shoot, and the results of one month's post-production will be released on the release day. Jay Chou's performance in MV is different from the previous ones. MV shows Jay Chou's childlike innocence everywhere, and there are also many fantastic imaginations, such as "floating to play the piano" in the cabin, where you have to hang a tightrope and imagine yourself being pulled away by crocodiles. The MV also started to imitate the rookie shrimp as a sailor comrade-in-arms with a very good sense of joy. Assistant Dani turned into a great white shark waiting for an opportunity by the boat in a special shark costume. When the great white shark was found, the shrimp's expression of hugging Jay Chou was amazing, and the expression on Jay Chou's face was also very vivid. The fastest match with Ragtime is the sailor, but this sailor is allergic to seafood. He has been a vegetarian for a long time and wants to be a singer but becomes a sailor. The alarm clock's [whether it rings or not] is homophonic with Taiwanese's [whether to drink or not], which is quite interesting to sing. Eating seafood is also learning. "Catch and eat, know whether to eat, catch and eat, know whether to eat" and "don't eat, don't eat, refrain from eating toast" can all be turned into a B-Box, which makes people laugh. It seems that this sailor really wants to be a rapper, and he never forgets to have a "don't eat, don't eat" at any time!
