Hello, host! I believe you were born 80 years ago, haha!

British pop star Craig David said in 2003: "Jay Chou's music has dominated and may even change the Asian pop music world.

Jay Chou Nicknamed "Chou" or "Jay Chou", he is a singer, songwriter, lyricist, actor, and director from Taiwan (Taipei). He has greatly improved the status of original songwriters in the Chinese music industry, and Jay Chou. Along with several other well-known Chinese music producers such as Wang Leehom and Tao Zhe, Jay Chou has become one of the newcomers who have had the most profound influence on Chinese music in the past five years. Most of Jay Chou's own compositions and vocals have lyrics written by Fang Wenshan, and their content is larger than that of ordinary pop songs. Dare to explore unprecedented themes, such as domestic violence in "Dad I'm Back", martial arts in "Dragon Fist" and "Nunchaku", world history in "Love in BC", environmental protection in "Terraces", "Besieged on All Sides" "Paparazzi, etc., and he innovatively used Western classical music in his songs: such as the Mozart sonata-style transition scene in "Nunchaku"; the Gregorian chant at the beginning of "Blue Storm" , there are also those rich in Chinese martial arts (such as "Nunchaku", "Dragon Fist" and "Huo Yuanjia") or Chinese music characteristics (in "The Lady", the guitar in the cutscene uses the pipa's ring finger playing method; the use of folk music Instruments: "Dance in the Spring and Autumn", "Hair Like Snow", etc.) This has caused an impact on the contemporary Chinese music scene. Some people believe that Jay Chou started to like and create pop music under the influence of Luo Dayou and the singer Jacky Cheung, two of the Chinese music scene. The heavyweight figure became Jay Chou's first teacher in the pop music world.

When he was in elementary school, Jay Chou had a special liking for music and showed amazing talent. He bought a piano and "played" with it, exploring his potential and slowly accumulating his musical "capital".

After graduating from high school, he did not go to college and could only work as a waiter in a restaurant. As a student, Jay Chou was violently scolded by his boss and had his salary deducted. Later, by chance, Jay Chou was "photographed" by Taiwanese music boss Wu Zongxian and joined Wu's company as a music production assistant. During this period, he kept writing songs. As a result, Wu Zongxian put them aside, and sometimes even threw them into the wastebasket in person. Finally, he finally agreed to sing the songs he wrote. However, his songs were too strange and weird, and many singers rejected them because they didn't understand them. Give him a chance: write 50 songs in 10 days, and then select 10 to sing and release an album. Finally, his first album came out, and his second album "Fantasy" immediately became a sensation in the music world. It is also popular in the pop music world.
