As netizen Zhu Li said: "There are always entertaining artists, there are always moving songs, tears have to flow, let us support all the front-line workers, pray. God bless China '! "

In fact, since the epidemic broke out, many original songs have been born in the Chinese music scene to help fight the epidemic. Why didn't this first work become the hottest anti-epidemic song overnight?

Jacky Cheung's promise from me

You can feel full sincerity across the screen

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been original songs that encourage people to circulate on the Internet, causing a wave of topics--

Lin Junjie and Stefanie Sun, the former composes, the latter writes a lyrics, "Stay With You";

Andy Lau first sang the Mandarin version of "The Bridge of Love" with seven other artists, and then created the Cantonese version of "I Know" to inspire frontline personnel;

Nicholas Tse wrote the song "Take Care" and invited Xiao Jingteng and Wang Junkai to sing together;

Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao also brought Winner Five Tigers and adapted the band's classic song "A Thousand Years Unchanged" into "Cheer Up".

From the timeline point of view, Jay Chou's composition, Fang Wenshan's lyrics, and Zhang Xueyou's "Waiting for Wind and Rain" did not "be too early". Why did it become the hottest anti-epidemic song overnight?

First of all, starting from the senses of every ordinary person, whether waiting for the storm passes, whether it is lyrics, melody or singing, we can feel full sincerity across the mobile phone screen.

This kind of sincerity is born naturally or intentionally created. In fact, everyone's heart can be easily felt.

The warmest detail at the end of the whole song. Jacky Cheung, wearing a sweater and peaked cap, made a special appearance and said solemnly: "Human beauty and goodness are best reflected in the face of difficulties and difficulties. With the highest respect. "

Later, he also promised: "My Jacky Cheung promised to do a good job of personal hygiene, prevent the spread of the epidemic with an unselfish and non-chaotic attitude, and protect every community and home. Everyone must go home safely and healthy. . "

In the footage, Zhang Xueyou's serious expression even made many post-90s fans go straight. "How do I think that Zhang is actually a bit cute and in love!"

Compared with some other singers ’anti-epidemic MVs, they may also show up at the end, but most of them shouted a few words," Come on, "like Zhang Xueyou, as an ordinary citizen, promised," Beginning with me "is really not. These two paragraphs will have an appeal and influence on ordinary people.

Write the song well, sing the song well

They put "impressing people" first

Sincerity is of course reflected in creation.

Many details may not be known to fans. In fact, as early as more than half a month ago, Jay Chou had the idea to write a song to cheer up the epidemic, and then found Fang Wenshan and began to discuss the concept of lyrics.

A staff member of Jewell Music told reporters that Jay Chou would not rush to get a song in a hurry. "Whether songs can touch people with their true feelings is his most important thing."

Jay Chou's composition speed is very fast, but "Waiting for Wind and Rain" is not the fastest song he wrote, which shows Zhou Dong's attention.

Including Jacky Cheung, because of the epidemic, he was unable to meet the two songwriters and had to complete the recording himself in a recording studio in Hong Kong.

According to Zhang Xueyou's singing skills, many songs were passed directly two or three times, but this song "Waiting for Wind and Rain" took about half a day.

Music critic Xu Banlan told reporters that the melody line of this song is not easy to sing, and some places are quite high-pitched. "But Zhang Xueyou's final presentation was perfect. He can hear that his emotional expressions are similar to his previous love songs. Than, I still deliberately made a different treatment, more atmospheric and warm. "

Two music legends join forces

Equivalent to contracting the traffic of this era

On the other hand, the "all ages" were almost exhausted, which is also an important reason why "Waiting for Wind and Rain" has become popular overnight.

This is the first time that the two great kings of Chinese music have cooperated with each other.

Even Jay Chou sighed on social media, "Singer who once appeared in my lyrics, today, many years later, we finally collaborated on a positive song."

Think about it. For ordinary fans, you can see how the two Chinese music legends join forces to "see you forever."

The 59-year-old Zhang Xueyou is a common youth hidden in the heart of the 80s, 70s, 60s and even 50s. "Kiss Farewell", "Heart Cuts Like a Heart", "I Have You Along the Way", "If It's Not Love," "Forgetting You and I Can't" ... Any melody sounds, and it can blow away generations of grayed out memories .

So far, Jacky Cheung has maintained a number of records in the Chinese music scene, including annual record sales and annual tour counts. Last year, Jacky Cheung's tour just finished, and each ticket is still hard to find.

Such a "myth" in the music world, stood up and sang during the anti-epidemic period when it was most invigorating, to encourage everyone, that kind of "old-time" trust is unparalleled by others. Especially in the era when our parents used mobile phones to brush their friends' circles every day, the radiation power is even more amazing.

And Jay Chou is a recognized "take-all" from post-70s to post-00s, and even the man whose work was included in the textbooks of elementary and middle schools.

Remember the "Carnival" tour started by Zhou Dong last year? You can buy a ticket in any of the cities that you toured for days.

According to Ping Feng, an independent music critic and performance planner, "the two men together are equivalent to giving the traffic of this era to Bao Yuan, and no corners are missing."

Indeed, in any media and self-media channels, as long as you glimpse the words "Zhang Xueyou + Jay Chou + New Song", it is difficult for someone to control curiosity and not open, "especially because of the special epidemic situation. Join hands. "

This is also a great consolation for the medical staff fighting in the front line. Although wrapped in heavy protective clothing, it still contains the flesh and spirit of ordinary people. Otherwise there will be no young medical staff, write the name of the idol outside the protective clothing, write the favorite lyrics to encourage yourself.

This may be the power of idols.
