The story of Jay Chou growing up under a club, 1979 65438+ 10/8, Jay Chou was born in an ordinary family in Taipei. Recalling his childhood, my mother used a sentence "Thank God for giving him to me", which fully reflected her love for this precious son. "Chubby smile with dimples, lovely appearance is really flattering. When Jay heard music since he was a child, he would tremble with excitement. He not only likes watching Sun Yue and Tao Dawei's performances, but also often wears sunglasses to imitate Gao Lingfeng's singing. He will also sit in front of the TV, singing and dancing with advertisements. When I was interested in recording at the age of three, I often recorded my voice with a tape recorder, or sang, or made up stories, edited, directed, performed and sang. "The father's evaluation of his son when he was a child was," He loved to be handsome since he was a child. " Dad recalled: "When Jay was a child, our family of three often went surfing on the beach together. Other children stand to take pictures, and he will definitely run to the camera to grab the camera. He loves to show off. His performances at family gatherings often amuse me. Jay Chou's growth story is a surprise gift. Jay has been handsome since he was a child. Not only should he wear wide trousers, but his hair should be parted in the middle. Even his car must ride a heavy motorcycle. High school students take music lessons in Tamkang High School, and it takes more than two hours to get to Tamkang by car from Taipei every day, so they want to buy a motorcycle' Little Sheep? Let him walk instead of walking. As a result, Jay wanted a heavy FZR as soon as he spoke, just because it looked handsome. "Growing up under the bonzi, Jay Chou's parents divorced when he was 14. Growing up in a single-parent family, he was brought up by his mother and grandmother, so grandma and mother became the two most beloved women in his life. When he began to practice playing the piano at the age of 3, his mother saw his talent in music, so she was very strict with him. As a result, Jay Chou was deprived of the right to play in his childhood and spent all day at the piano. But every time he practices the piano, he always plays absently when he hears the frolicking sound of his companions outside the window. So his mother stood behind him with a stick and watched him practice the piano. Jay said, "If I have a solid music foundation, I have to thank that stick. "He also met a strict piano teacher. As long as you play wrong and don't concentrate, you will immediately hit the back of your hand, so little Jay's hands are all bruised, which made him once rebellious and didn't want to learn the piano again. But when he calmed down, he couldn't help but want to play the piano. After thinking about it for a few days, little Jay not only obediently continued to practice the piano, but also never thought about leaving the music again, no matter how strict the teacher was. When I was a child, Jay Chou was very naughty, and it was common to be beaten. He once stole his mother's signature, so that he could steal contact books or papers with low marks. Sometimes he deliberately blurred the scores of the test paper with saliva, and then told his mother that he was caught in the rain. At school, if you don't reach the standard in the exam, you will be slapped. Another time, I was always pinched by my teacher until junior high school, so I was used to being beaten when I was a child. My childhood was very lonely. Jay is the only child in the family, and he is introverted and shy. When he was young, he thought that he could have a younger brother and sister to accompany him, but he felt that his parents were tired of raising him. If he has another child, the burden of life will be heavy. The life of an only child is a bit boring, but because he is an only child, he will have different ideas about life. Many things can only be solved by himself, and no one can help him, which makes him more independent. Jay admitted that if he had brothers and sisters, he would become more considerate of others. Childhood is not boring. He can play with his siblings every day, so he still envies other families having siblings. After his parents divorced, he became more withdrawn and quiet, so he didn't have many playmates. I spend most of my time playing with my neighbors and classmates. I can't say I'm autistic, but I do have a lot of room. Asked to recall the most unforgettable thing when he was a child, he actually said that it was a big dog raised by his grandmother, because little Jay often played with dogs, and sometimes he imagined himself as a general and treated dogs as horses. He said that if he had brothers and sisters, his thoughts on life would be different from now. The man of the hour in high school became a waiter. After Jay Chou was admitted to the music department of Taipei Danshui High School, he became the man of the hour in the school and the prince charming in the hearts of many female students because he played the piano well and played basketball well. At this time, Jay began to have good friends to talk to, and with the encouragement of his classmates, he tried to write his own songs. Many students are also scrambling to collect. But when his classmates are nervously preparing for the college entrance examination, he is still addicted to music. In the eyes of ordinary people, his future is bleak. Because at that time, for a child in an ordinary family, his best choice was to study mathematics, natural science and computer in order to find a good job and make a living in the future, and music was a luxury for the rich. Obviously, they think Jay Chou can't afford luxury goods. Sure enough,1June 1996, after graduating from high school, Jay Chou couldn't find a job for a while, so he had to apply for a job as a waiter in a restaurant. His daily job is to send the dishes cooked by the chef to the restaurant and then pass them on to the guests by the waitress. The work seems simple, but it is not easy to do. Because there are many guests, it is easy to pass the wrong dishes. Once something goes wrong, the waiter will not only be angry with the customer, but also the boss will deduct the salary. When I was a child, Jay Chou was a little autistic and silly. The English teacher in high school thinks that Jay Chou has a learning disability: "He has a dull expression on his face, and I think he is stupid. The boy can't concentrate on math and science classes, and even his English homework is neglected. But Zhou's mother noticed that this quiet and shy child was particularly sensitive to western pop music or classical music from an early age. He was keen on music before he learned to walk. " She recalled. When he was four years old, Zhou's mother sent him to a piano class to learn piano. He played very well, like a piano enthusiast. The high school piano teacher said that Jay Chou could improvise when he was a teenager. Outside the piano room, Jay Chou is an ordinary teenager. While other students are playing basketball nearby, he has been watching kung fu movies and playing games. Everyone else is busy preparing for the college entrance examination, but he skipped classes and practiced the piano twice, and his life was aimless. Music saved him and brought him good luck. A junior helped him sign up for the idol selection program Super Newcomer King in Taiwan Province Province. The producer of the program later contacted the surprised Jay Chou and invited him to participate in the performance. But Jay Chou dare not solo. Finally, he accompanied a friend who wanted to be a piano singer. The performance was poor. At that time, Wu Zongxian, the host of the program, was always looking for new people. He glanced at the nervous piano accompaniment boy and the singer who sang like a crow and thought, forget it! Wu Zongxian said, "I don't think it sounds good at all. That singer sings badly. "However, he looked at the score: I looked at the score from behind the referee's shoulder and the result was amazing. Very complicated, well done. After the filming, Wu Zongxian went backstage to find Jay Chou, who was wearing a baseball cap that almost covered his eyes. Wu Zongxian recalled: My first impression of him was that he was quiet and shy. I thought he was autistic. Wu Zongxian signed him to write songs full-time. A year and a half later, Wu Zongxian decided to hand over the management right of Alfa records to his friend and singer Yang Junrong, and Jay Chou went from behind the scenes to the stage to become an idol singer. Within three months, Jay Chou finished his first album. The opportunity has finally come. 1997, Jay Chou participated in the super-fierce newcomer king. Jay, who performed poorly, unexpectedly caught Wu Zongxian's attention. After in-depth conversation with Jay, he decided to hire Jay as a music production assistant in his own record company. I have been a production assistant for more than a year. This job involves doing all kinds of chores, and sometimes buying lunch boxes for everyone. The salary is very small, but Jay is very happy. Gradually, the solid music foundation he laid since childhood made his performance more and more brilliant. Seeing this, boss Wu Zongxian decided to give this talented young man a chance to have his own stage and become a singer. 1one day in February 1999, Wu Zongxian called Jay Chou to his office and said very solemnly, "Allen, you still have 10 days. If you can write 50 songs and I can pick out 10, then I will help you make a record. "Jay Chou was so excited that he ran to the street and bought a big box of instant noodles. He thought that even if he tried his best, he would make a final struggle. Because he knew that the boss might give him the chance. During that time, he almost wrote one song after another. Whenever he was tired, he took a nap in the corner of the room and woke up to write the next one. In this way, in just 10 days, Jay Chou really produced 50 songs, and each capital was beautifully written and composed. After more than half a year's careful production, Jay Chou's first album "Jay" was completed. It was a blockbuster as soon as it was released. Not only did it sell well, but it also won two Taiwan Province pop music golden melody awards: Best Pop Album, Best Producer and Best Composer. Since 2000, his first album has sold out, and now his album sales are unparalleled. It seems that the Chinese pop music scene was almost ruled by Jay Chou's voice overnight. From restaurant waiters to famous pop stars, Jay Chou said in an exclusive interview with Time magazine: "The dream of a star is not out of reach. In fact, anyone can do it as long as you are willing to work hard. I am where I am today because I don't admit defeat. "Jay Chou wants to be a musician of the times in the future, not a flash in the pan. Indeed, a person who doesn't want to be a coward should climb up step by step like a snail. Growing up in Jay Chou.
