"The King of Mad Music of Generations"
As of 12:00 noon on July 6th, before the MV of Jay Chou's prelude "The Greatest Work" was officially launched, more than 6 million people had reserved his digital album on the QQ music platform.
After the release of the MV, #JayChouFirstSong# went straight to the top of the hot search.
Afterwards, more than 20 related hot search words including #zhoujielunrap##zhoujielunlanglangplaying the piano##zhoujielunmagic##the greatest work# were screened.
Among the top 7 Weibo hot search list, Jay Chou related entries occupy 6 places.
"The madness of the generation, the king of music, all things surrender to my movement. The road is still blazing, I am still creating, and the melody at my fingertips is eager." The domineering lyrics show Jay Chou's ambition to be a king, and his confidence is not groundless.
Whether it was the previous "middle-aged and elderly fans" who made the charts for Jay Chou, and the hundreds of millions of traffic from the online re-screening concert a while ago, it all proves that Jay Chou is firmly at the top of the Chinese music scene.

In the fast-developing entertainment industry, the time flow of the Chinese music scene seems to be in slow motion.
In the top-notch film and television circle for a drama, although traffic may not be equated with word-of-mouth, it is undeniable that the people who have climbed this film and television peak have changed wave after wave.
However, judging from the prevailing "archaeological style" in the music world, the group of people on the top of the mountain are still "old friends".
I don't know if Jay Chou, who has always "will be Ling Jueding", has the illusion of "I don't know what year it is today" for a moment?

"Still" is still there, what about "Fantasy"?
More than ten years ago, Jay Chou faced the controversy of "Jiang Lang's talents are exhausted and his music style is single". He used a piece of "Still Fantasy" to fight back all doubts.
In addition to showing that he has the ability to produce albums of the same level and high quality as "Fantasy", while continuing to consolidate "Zhou's style", he has tried many innovative moves, such as singing "A Thousand Miles Away" with Fei Yuqing, Change the articulation that has been criticized, etc.

However, after the broadcast of "The Greatest Work" today, in addition to a lot of praise, we also saw some netizens hear the "old tune".
Three songs on the "Still Fantasy" album - "Chapter Seven of the Night", "Rosemary" and "Red Imitation", were mentioned as having similarities with the new song; and "In the Name of the Father" "Sounds of the Qin", "Lover in Past Life", "mojito", and even "The Spirit of Chivalry" and "Pirates" written by Jay Chou for Jolin Tsai were all mentioned.

Some people said: "Listening to this song has a feeling of time travel back and forth." Some people even ridiculed that "Jay Chou copied Jay Chou".
We look forward to hearing Jay Chou or Jay Chou, and then sigh "yes, that's what it tastes like"!
But also looking forward to receiving more "Fantasy" surprises.
Fortunately, this is just a warm-up for the prelude to the new album. We can still hold this expectation and wait for the appearance of "Fantasy".
