Through time and space and art, everyone meets everyone

The piano sounds flow backwards. Jay Chou traveled back to the 1920s, and everyone gradually appeared. The "Zhou Magician" suddenly turned into a green apple, which frightened the paranoid Maglite. Jay Chou is very fascinated by this Belgian surrealist art. The image of the green apple's face is his masterpiece, "The Man with a Round Ding Hard Hat".

In the restaurant, the bearded nerve is the old -fashioned Salvador Dali, who is the most good at creating a mysterious and weird dream world. The most representative work is "Eternity of Memory", and the deformation clocks are as soft as noodle cakes. The "melting spoon" in the MV comes from Dali's technique of capturing surreal inspiration.

The next thing was a painter of a brigade French, and his reputation was not great, but Jay Chou gave him a large proportion of space in the MV. This is an old Chinese rich man who went to Paris to learn painting in the 1920s. He was so arrogant and pure, and his life was depressed, and he died of gas poisoning. Today, his paintings have been auctioned several billion yuan, which has become the goal of collectors in various collectors.

Chang Yu's life can be described as a booing legend. The MV lyrics wrote that "the elegant legs of Huadu are a touch of this universe", in fact, it means that the improvisation lines in the jade works are often praised by Xu Zhimo in "Paris Claw" in Paris It is the "universe thigh". At that time, Chang Yu once painted a portrait for Xu Zhimo, but Xu Zhimo failed to receive it due to the crash of the plane. In the MV, Jay Chou met Chang Yu's paintings and met Xu Zhimo and completed a reunion across time and space.

Singing out the fate of the master of art

Singing "I ask Monet to help", Jay Chou immediately invited Monet Monet. He is called "Great Light" and is obsessed with lotus flowers. He observes the changes of water lilies in light and shadow like scientists every day. His most famous works are "Impression · Sunrise" and "Water Lily", so this paragraph in the MV is all important elements, but the lotus on the wall is not an impressionist, but the style of Chinese Song Dynasty workmanship. There are also a few masters who have not entered the mirror, but they are also paid tribute in the lyrics, such as the "Beast" representative Matisse and the author of "Scream" Monker.

The key lyrics of "the lively in this world" refers to the fate of most artists. They endure loneliness, prejudice, poverty, and pain during their lifetime. The greatest creation won the reputation behind him.

Look at the cultural value and significance of the collection

Jay Chou pays tribute to the history of art. When many people's impression of him still stays in the singer's identity, he has long been a senior art collector. Art collector Chen Taiming has a high evaluation of him: "Modern and contemporary art collections, Asian singers have no right right."

Jay Chou has generously showing the paintings of Liancheng, which is collected on the Internet. He is a loyal fan of the street painter Baskia and has collected many works. From Jay Chou's online sunlight, it can also be seen that there should be more than one Picasso's work in his family. He also hesitated whether to buy Monet's "Wet Lill", hesitating was because it was too expensive.

Most of Jay Chou's collections are contemporary art works, and some are limited edition art derivatives. He said that the number of collections is not important. "The important thing is to collect the work I think the most 'great', and it must have rich cultural value and significance."

Hope to share art with fans

In recent years, Jay Chou likes to "hold private goods" in the MV, and often puts his favorite paintings in the most conspicuous position of the MV screen. For example, the work of Gehard Rich in the MV in "Don't Love Me", "The Scream" of Edward Monks in the MV of "Bed Story" MV "Birth of Venus".

In 2021, Jay Chou also made a curator for Sotheby's auction in the international auction house. He chose a number of works of many famous artists, and eventually sold it smoothly. The total turnover was HK $ 8459.8 million, which refreshed nine artists' world auction records.

How to understand contemporary art? Jay Chou said that it is not necessary to know what the picture is expressing. "I believe that the power of art is that its expression is not limited and there is no boundary. It does not need to approach deliberately. It can be seen every day in our life. I have a strong sense of mission. I want to share my experience with my fans. "
