周杰倫* – The One 演唱會 Live CD - Jay Chou*

Description: Jay Chou: Chou Chieh-lun (traditional Chinese: 周杰倫; simplified Chinese: 周杰伦; pinyin: Zhōu Jiélún; born 18 January 1979), better known by the stage name Jay Chou is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, actor, director, and businessman. In 2000, Chou released his debut studio album, Jay (2000), to runaway success, solidified by his second album, Fantasy (2001), which combined Western and East Asian music styles. He has since established himself as one of the most successful singers in the Chinese-speaking world, holding 15 Golden Melody Awards—the most by any singer—and earning the title King of Mandopop. In 2022, he became the first Mandopop artist to top IFPI’s Global Album Sales Chart, with his 15th studio album, Greatest Works of Art (2022), being the world’s best-selling record in 2022. Outside the Chinese-speaking world, Chou is perhaps better known for his work beyond music. He made his acting debut in the film Initial D (2005), followed by roles in Zhang Yimou's epic Curse of the Golden Flower (2006), Kevin Chu's Kung Fu Dunk (2008) and The Treasure Hunter (2009), Hollywood films The Green Hornet (2011) and Now You See Me 2 (2016).[5] He directed and starred in films Secret (2007), The Rooftop (2013) and TV series Pandamen (2010). He hosted the CTI talkshow Mr. J Channel (2010-2011), the Netflix reality show J-Style Trip starting in 2020, and served as a judge on The Voice of China for four seasons from 2016 to 2020. As a businessman, Chou has been the President of his own fashion brand, PHANTACi, since 2006 and is a founding member of the talent agency JVR Music, established in 2007. Early career:Chou's mother initially inspired Chou to become a music teacher, while Chou remained relatively clueless on what to do with his life. Without his knowledge, a friend registered both their names in a talent show called Super New Talent King in 1998. Chou played the piano accompaniment for his friend, whose singing was described as "lousy". Although they did not win, the show's host, Jacky Wu – an influential character in Taiwan's entertainment business – happened to glance at the music score and was impressed with its complexity. Wu then asked who wrote it, discovered Chou and hired him as a contract composer and paired him with the novice lyricist Vincent Fang for his then record company, Alfa Music. Chou then spent most of his time in Wu's studio learning music producing, sound mixing, recording, and writing songs. Although he was trained in classical music, Chou combines Chinese and Western music styles to produce songs that fuse R&B, rock and pop genres. However, Wu told Chou that he would help Chou release an album after he wrote 50 songs, and he would pick 10 from there. Chou already had an arsenal of songs he wrote for others but had been rejected, so among those he chose 10 for his debut CD album, Jay, released in 2000. The album established his reputation as a musically gifted singer-songwriter whose style is a fusion of R&B, rap, classical music, and yet distinctly Chinese. His fame grew quickly in Overseas Chinese communities and Sinophone-speaking regions throughout Southeast Asia. Music career: 2000–2002: Debut and commercial successIn 2000, under the recommendation of JR Yang, Jay Chou began to sing his own songs. Chou launched his debut album Jay under Alfa Music under Jacky Wu in 2000. Chou arranged the compilation, harmony, and production of all the songs. The album combines R&B, hip-hop, and other musical styles. Among them, the hit song "Starry Mood" (星晴) won the 24th China Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs. The album was promoted heavily by Jacky Wu in the entertainment shows he hosted. Chou himself also appeared on a few television programs to promote the album. Chou was marketed as a talented singer-composer with a unique tune. His collaboration with Vincent Fang and Vivian Hsu on the release brought about a few hits. In 2001, Chou held his first series of five solo concerts, titled the Fantasy Concert, with the first stop on 11 January 2001, at the Taoyuan Arena, Taiwan. Followed by two shows at the Hong Kong Coliseum, one in Malaysia and ended in Singapore on 10 February 2002. On 9 July 2001, songwriters Jay and Yungai Hayung performed "The Roof", which was included in the album "A Little Wild" by Yungai Hayung. After promoting his debut album, Chou returned to the studio for the next twelve months to record and produce his next album, Fantasy, which helped him become an established star. This album was released in September 2001 and became a big hit, selling an estimated two million copies in Taiwan alone. However, in late 2001, Wu, due to mismanagement, decided to sell Alfa Music, including Chou’s contract, to Holiday Co., Ltd., a KTV chain operator. The sale, finalized in 2002, soured Chou’s relationship with Wu, leading to a prolonged feud.[18] Fantasy went on receiving ten nominations and won five awards at the 13th Golden Melody Awards in 2002, where Chou notably did not thank Wu. The album's R&B hits such as "Simple Love" (簡單愛) "Love Before BC" (愛在西元前), which won Chou the Best Composer award, and "Can't Express Myself" (開不了口) are some of Chou's most popular songs till today. Chou's third album, The Eight Dimensions, became another commercial success and is similar in style to his second. Another collaboration with Fang, The Eight Dimensions included songs that invoke imagery, Chou's "mumbling" style, and mainly R&B tunes. The singer has sold over 750,000 copies of Fantasy as of 2002, throughout the region. In the same year, Chou held his debut concert tour The One. There was also more crossover activity between Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as steadily increasing activity by Japanese acts in the region.[19] Chou released the compilation album Partners in April 2002, featuring 12 songs consisting of Chou's musical and Vincent Fang's lyrical compositions. Fang has written the words to more than 40 of Chou's songs, was the chief editor of Chou's book Grandeur de D Major and is now Chou's business partner (together with Chou's manager JR Yang) for the record company JVR Music. His second concert tour, The One Concert, commenced on 28 September 2002, at Taipei Municipal Stadium, followed by 11 stops and ended at Shenzhen Stadium, China on 3 January 2004. Chou's music has been the center of much discussion across Chinese and other Sinophone-speaking regions around the world. This was for the reason that his music greatly and distinctively stood out from other mainstream Chinese popular musical artists given how varied his songs were at that time. What distinguished and separated Chou from the quintessential Chinese popular musical artist was that his pieces combined ancient themes with futuristic ones, including things like spaceships, all while employing graphic storytelling skills to evoke vivid imagery to his audience. What also made Chou different was his enunciation, or lack thereof, whether rapping or singing, was also critiqued when listeners often found that they could not decipher the words sung until they looked up the lyrics. Critics referred to his singing as "mumbling". This garnered a lot of attention and reporters often quiz Chou on his singing style. Chou defended this as his signature style to infuse the vocals with the music and "make it blend" well together. Chou also stated that he wants the listeners to look at the lyrics stating the lyrics written by Vincent Fang are very deep. Chou's compositions are loosely categorized as pop music. While many of his works fall into contemporary Western R&B, rap, and rock genres, the term "Chou Style" (周式風格; zhōu shì fēnggé) has been popularized to describe his trademark cross-cultural music and insistence on singing with slurred enunciation. The Taipei Times once described the meaning of "Chou Style": "In what has become the archetypal Chou style, Taiwan's favorite son blends pop, rap, blues and a smorgasbord of esthetic elements of world music to create his dream-like never-never land..." Chou regularly fuses traditional Chinese instruments and Western popular musical styles such as R&B or rock to form a new genre in what he calls or "Zhongguo Feng" (中國風), which literally means "Chinese Style Music". Some of these fusion-based songs are written in the Pentatonic Scale as opposed to the more common seven-note scale (Diatonic scale) to accentuate a distinct East Asian musical style, where Chou's most popular songs all at least retain some rudimentary elements of indigenous and traditional Han Chinese cultural and musical forms. Besides his own culture and Chinese culture, he also incorporated Spanish guitar in "Red Imitation" (紅模仿), American techno/electronica in "Herbalist's Manual" (本草綱目), rap with subtle classical music undertones in "Reverse Scales" (逆鱗), Blues style in "Free Tutorial Video" (免費教學錄影帶) and Bossa nova style in "Rosemary" (迷迭香), to name a few. Sound effects from everyday life are frequently woven into his music, such as bouncing ping pong balls, touch tone phone dialing, helicopter blades, dripping rain, and radio static noise (Musique concrète). His formal musical training is evident by the use of classical textures in his compositions. For example, counterpoint was used in "Perfection" (完美主義) and "Sorry" (對不起), while polyphony can be found in "The Wound That Ends War" (止戰之殤) and "Twilight's Chapter Seven" (夜的第七章). Chou's albums have been noted for the lack of change compared to his earlier works, yet he firmly stated that he will not alter his style: "They say I've been standing still ... but this is the music I want, and I don't see what I want by moving ahead." To demonstrate his point, he named his 2006 album Still Fantasy after his 2001 album Fantasy. His use of relaxed enunciation has been criticized as "mumbling"[68] which he also insisted will not change;[69] however, recently he has adopted clearer pronunciation for certain songs, particularly more traditional Chinese style songs, such as "Faraway" (千里之外) which features Fei Yu-ching and "Chrysanthemum Terrace" (菊花台). Lyrics:Chou is considered more of a singer-composer than a lyricist. Several "regulars" write the lyrics for most of his music, but the content and style are unified with his own personality and image, covering a diverse range of topics and ideas. Vincent Fang accounts for more than half of the lyrics in his albums, helping to establish an important element in Chou's music: the use of meaningful, imagery- and emotionally rich lyrics, sometimes written in the form of poetry with reference to Chinese history or folklore. In addition to writing romantic hits, he also touches on war, the Bible, sports, and martial arts. Vivian Hsu is a singer herself and has helped with Chou's earlier hits. Chou himself has written lyrics for many ballads but has also discussed societal ills such as drug addiction in "Coward" (懦夫) and loss of the rural countryside to urbanization in "Terrace Fields" (梯田). Domestic violence discussed in "Dad, I'm Home" (爸, 我回來了) received a great deal of commotion since he was the first to bring up this taboo subject in Sanscript music. "In the Name of Father" detailing the cruelty and brutality of the violence, this song is not Jay's personal experience. Jay describes the phenomenon of domestic violence in society and wants to appeal the public pay more attention to domestic violence. 周杰倫* – The One 演唱會 Live CD - Jay Chou* – The One Concert Live CDGenre:Hip Hop, Rock, PopStyle:Ballad, Pop Rock, Pop Rap, Trip HopYear:2002Track list:Opening_雙截棍 (變奏版)4:13忍者 - Nija2:53爺爺泡的茶 (加長版) - Grandpa's Tea4:47暗號 - Code4:51愛在西元前 - Love In BC4:19半島鐵盒 - Peninsula Iron Box6:13回到過去 - Back In Time4:11鬥牛 - Bullfighting4:45分裂 - Split4:35安靜 - Quiet4:53黑色幽默 - Black Humor4:52找自己 - Find Yourself3:43龍捲風 - Tornado4:11星晴 -Xingqing4:21龍拳 - Dragon Fist4:13上海一九四三 - Shanghai3:31你怎麼連話都說不清楚 - Why Can't You Even Speak Clearly4:06最後的戰役 - The Final Battle4:25簡單愛 - Simple Love4:35開不了口 - Can't Speak9:19八度空間 Music Video VCD半獸人 - Orc半島鐵盒 - Peninsula Iron Box暗號 - Secret code龍拳 - Dragon Fist火車叨位去 - Take Your Seat On The Train分裂 - Split爺爺泡的茶 - Grandpa Made Tea回到過去 _ Go Back In Time米蘭的小鐵匠 - Little Blacksmith In Milan最後的戰役 - Final Battle
