Vincent Fang exposes Jay Chou's privacy
by kelvin@multistars - 2nd April 2006The lyrics to the song "Hair Like Snow" written by Vincent Fang for Jay Chou won the Best Lyrics award in this year's Pepsi Music Chart Awards. When being interviewed, Vincent expressed that he didn't join this entertainment circle for awards but because he liked music. Of course getting an award is a kind of encouragement. When talking about his partner of many years Jay, Vincent said: "Some people will think that Jay's singing is unclear, but in fact, his voice is a kind of musical instrument, the melody is very good, the feeling of listening to him sing is very comfortable, this is a kind of enjoyment."
Talking about his partner: I succeeded because of Jay
Jay and Vincent is dignified as a pair of "twins" in the music world, concerning the question of who succeeded because of who, Vincent said without hesitation, "Of course I succeeded because of Jay. The melody is like the skeleton, the lyrics are like the clothes, just like a model, if she wore unsuitable clothes and walked the catwalk then she might get marks deducted; but if a normal person who doesn't have that figure then whatever she wears won't look good. Vincent used the words "an unrestrained and vigorous style that brims with talent" to describe his style of lyrics. Vincent explained, "The main reason is because I usually wade through a wide range, I will read any books, classical, modern, it doesn't matter, sometimes I think that if there was pop music in ancient times, then Li Qing Zhao and Li Yu would definitely be the best lyricists."
Vincent also accepted an interview with "Nuo Can't Be The Same", but he mostly answered questions about Jay.
There is a reason why Jay doesn't wear underwear
The female presenter Liu Nuo of "Nuo Can't Be The Same" bravely asked Vincent, why doesn't Jay wear underwear? Vincent explained that when Jay first signed with the company he lived at the company, due to the fact it was inconvenient to wash clothes in the company, Jay's mother and father came once a week to collect the clothes that needed washing, and because the changed underwear that got piled at the company would look bad, Vincent advised Jay to just not wear underwear. Thus Jay got the famous habit of not wearing underwear. Liu Nuo quickly asked when Jay holds a concert and gets changed, is his assistant a female, after knowing it was a guy, Liu Nuo laughs with her mind at rest.
Work not started yet on the ending song for "Golden Armour"
At the press conference last time for "City Full Of Golden Armour" Jay expressed that the moviemakers were interested in letting him sing the ending song, and at that time he had some idea of the melody. About this, Vincent expressed that he will write the lyrics for this ending song. He has already seen the complete script for "City Full Of Golden Armour", he has some simple ideas in his mind, more or less about the feeling of an expert who runs on roofs and walks on walls fighting a human dispute, but due to the fact that they have a habit of only after Jay finishes the melody that Vincent writes the lyrics in accordance to this tune, due to this the lyrics have not gone into an actual working stage.
Often play pranks with Jay
Jay's birthday is the 18th of January, Vincent's birthday is the 26th of January, and their birthdays only differ by a week. Vincent said that they often play pranks on each other during their birthdays. One time when Jay was having his birthday, Vincent told some guys to play fake traffic police, they cut Jay off on the road. At that time Jay was a bit nervous, but these actors admired Jay too much, they didn't have any fierceness in their faces at all, this made Jay think that these policemen are so polite to the point of exaggeration. When Vincent was having his birthday, Jay hired some paparazzi to follow their car, this made Vincent very nervous, he turned his side to shield Jay.
Jay wants to film a campus love movie the most
Vincent also revealed that when he and Jay chat they once talked about doing a campus love movie, Jay wanted to talk about a story of a student period in this movie. Vincent added that Jay's high school was very beautiful. Vincent will be the screenwriter and Jay will be the director for this movie.
