Jay Chou thanks arranger Hong Jing Yao and Zhong Xing Min
by kelvin@multistars - 7th May 2004¡§You only know what is called arrangement when you hear their music.¡¨
I didn¡¦t become determined to be a singer because of being influenced by anyone in my childhood; the enlightenment to music probably came from my parents. They like to listen to Western music, yet because I loved to watch TV, from the earliest being a fan of Gao Ling Feng, David Lee to listening to Luo Da You and Lin Chiang, when I was in middle school I was deeply touched by the theme song of Japanese drama ¡§101 Proposal¡¨ sung by ¡§Chage & Aska¡¨.
After entering the industry the people I admire the most is arranger teacher Hong Jing Yao and Zhong Xing Min, their arrangement has life and story, working with them I can agitate a vigorous and unconstrained style of creation. I have always been very confident towards my own music, only this part of arrangement I do not dare to rush in front of them, also I rely on them. Like Hong Jing Yao in ¡§In The Name Of The Father¡¨, added in gun sounds, Italian prayer and opera female high tone enriched the whole song and it also produced a lot of scenes, like a movie using hearing.
