Vincent fang, born in 1969, is a famous poet in Taiwan Province province and the best partner in Jay Chou. He is good at disassembling the inertia of language use and constructing post-modern new words. Wu Zongxian, a famous host in Taiwan Province, said that without Fang Zhouzi, there would be no music of Jay Chou.
Vincent Fang was born in 1969. He graduated from a successful private advanced vocational school in Taiwan Province Province, majoring in electronics, which has nothing to do with literary creation and poetry. At first, he was just a frustrated young man in the suburbs of Taipei, struggling to realize his dream in Taipei. 1978, he worked as a salesman of anti-theft equipment and delivered takeout to people. The hardships of life made him more aware of the importance of opportunities. Vincent Fang loves literature and art. He originally wanted to be an excellent screenwriter and then a film director. However, the films in Taiwan Province Province declined, so he had to settle for the second best and try his best to write lyrics, hoping to achieve the same goal. At that time, he sent his works to various record companies and musicians, sending thousands of copies each time, hoping to have good luck to be adopted, but he has been sinking into the sea. In the preface to Iron Box on the Peninsula, vincent fang once mentioned an experience: I still remember that four years ago, I volunteered to mail more than 100 lyrics to major record companies. If the next day is described by some phrases or drawing a curve table, then the order of those words should be waiting, guessing, anxiety, impatience, denial, despair and giving up, and then the curve will fall all the way to the bottom.
After more than a month's silence, Vincent Fang no longer expects to return to his friends and is ready to become a salesman, plumber and the like again. At this time, things suddenly changed. It was 1 0: 30 on the morning of July 7th, 1997, and there was no word "about". It must be this time. Vincent Fang doesn't know why he remembers it so clearly. At that time, Wu Zongxian, the host of National Taiwan University, was hosting a very popular TV program "Super Newcomer King", and even found Jay Chou in this program. At 1: 30 in the middle of the night, I called Fang Wenqing personally, not through my assistant. Fang Gang recalled answering the phone at that time. On the phone, Wu Zongxian said "I am Wu Zongxian" and "Ah, you are Wu Zongxian, and I am still Lee Teng-hui". He doesn't believe it. Wu Zongxian said that he saw a three-dimensional picture from Fang Zhouzi's words, which was very beautiful and unique. He hopes to cooperate with him. There is another reason that Wu Zongxian didn't point out. At that time, Jay Chou was already a member of Arufa Music Studio. Although there are many creations, I can't find a suitable lyricist. Wu Zongxian said, now this man finally appeared. Vincent fang was very excited about the sudden surprise, but he summed up an experience: "Opportunity is more important than strength", "But when the strength is not enough, the opportunity will definitely be lost".
Fang Wensen thinks that he has met two best opportunities in recent years, one was discovered by Wu Zongxian as a full-time lyricist, and the other was known by Jay Chou, and they became amazing best partners. Fang Gang and Jay Chou are almost the same employees under Wu Zongxian. In addition, there are more than a dozen colleagues, some specializing in words and some specializing in music. Wu Zongxian also asked them to pair freely and not to be gregarious. Let's see what the result is. At that time, all the songs written by Jay Chou were best sellers, but only vincent fang could accurately guess his thoughts and then write the perfect lyrics. So the combination of Jay Chou and vincent fang gradually settled down.
Fang Zhouzi is a person who has his own unique expression on the history of China civilization. He is good at interpreting his book meaning in the transformation of history and time and space, which is a very rare performance at present. Look at the contemporary music scene, most of the lyrics are I love you, you love me, I will die without you, and you can't live without me. This cliche dominates the music. Fang Zhouzi's works put aside these things and found his own style in the oriental classical feelings. For example, Love Before BC pursues the remains of ancient civilization, Mountains and Seas 1943 recalls the feelings of parents, Blue and White Porcelain and Lady incorporate classical nostalgia elements, which is a great subversion of the current fast-food love songs. In particular, his series of Chinese style lyrics with clever writing and long artistic conception are really beautiful. The most admirable thing about vincent fang's lyrics creation is that he tries to complete his interpretation and construction of historical civilization in music and convey it to the public through the melody of music. He tried to make/kloc-energetic young friends between the ages of 0/5 and 25 feel the classical texture and experience the simplest and beautiful things in human nature in a way they can accept.
Fang Zhouzi's grasp of the emotions of young people in modern society is unique. Jonathan Lee's ci poems are often heartbreaking memories of an old man, while Fang Zhouzi's ci poems focus on the present moment, focusing on the emotional entanglement, confusion, love and confusion of modern people. Compared with other lyrics, Fang Zhouzi's lyrics are more modern and more easily accepted and appreciated by young people. Some music critics also said that Fang Zhouzi's ci is an outstanding representative of bringing pop music back to the fusion of classical and modern music, nostalgia and sincerity.
Fang Wenqing's great achievement is related to his usual study and hard work. Vincent fang said that before writing a song, he would go to the library and look up a lot of information online. Jay Chou will tell him what style this song needs to be composed. For example, in "William Castle", Fang Wensen looked up information and discussed with Jay Chou, and finally created four completely different tasks, namely, the fat witch, the housekeeper pig, William II and Princess Kathleen, which were enough to write novels. And "ancient Indian turtledove". There are 16 kinds of animals in the lyrics of this song. Vincent fang said that when he was writing, he would put all his energy into it. Otherwise, Vincent Fang, who graduated from high school and has no professional background, can't write freely in China's vast literature.
Now, the lyrics of Chinese style, which are sung by Jay Chou and written by Fang Wensheng, are leading all the way, which has set off a discussion upsurge in Chinese classes in primary and secondary schools in Taiwan Province Province, and some of them have also become examination questions in the section examination and the senior high school entrance examination, and even related topics have appeared in the history textbooks of Taiwan Province Province in senior high schools. Vincent fang saw that many teachers used his lyrics as test questions, which inspired students culturally, and he was also inspired by many things. He thought he could interact with fans around eastern civilization in a simpler and easier way.
