"Fantasy Westward Journey" is an online video game in the style of Q ancient martial arts developed by Mainland China NetEase in 2004, after 6 years, the official company is promoting it again, they have especially gotten big idol star Jay Chou to be spokesperson. A few days ago, when Jay Chou was interviewed by the media he revealed that he hoped to write the theme song for "Fantasy Westward Journey", this caught everyone's attention.
Being the main lyricist of Jay Chou, Vincent Fang is best at writing in the style of a poem, with just a few words, he can write the feelings, scenery and thoughts into the scene, the lyrics he writes is full of intense visual feelings and concentrated Chinese style, the two have collaborated on nearly a hundred songs, a lot of them have become representatives of pop music. But even though Jay Chou and Vincent Fang are a 10-year golden pair, but there have been many instances of dissing between them.
Vincent Fang once "complained" that Jay Chou was picky, even if the meaning of the lyrics were correct, Jay Chou will have him change the way it's expressed. He often exposes embarrassing things about Jay Chou's life, even when Jay Chou wrote the recommendation for his new book, he didn't use it because it was "too colloquial" so it didn't match the style of the book.
When Jay Chou attended the press conference for "Fantasy Westward Journey" recently, when asked of his impression of "Fantasy Westward Journey", Jay Chou's first thought was Vincent Fang, "The scenes in it are pretty good, Chang'an City (scene in the game) made me think of Vincent Fang's Chang'an City, Vincent Fang himself doesn't know which time it came from, he has his own model of Chang'an City, I think he would definitely like playing this sort of game." About his Chou singing style that's often said to be unclear pronunciation, Jay Chou joked saying it was Vincent Fang's fault for his lyrics, he pushed all the blame on Vincent Fang.
Even though the two best partners dissed each other, but with their mutual understanding along with the link to Chang'an City, the next song might be "Chang'an City" composed by Jay Chou with lyrics by Vincent Fang.
