*shrieks of a silly fangirl*
New Jay Single!!! *shrieks of exitement*!! I would serioulsy, flat-out, die for concert tickets. Well actually... get concert tickets, rub it in everyone's faces that I have tickets after a major shriekfest, be on edge and have little to no sleep for the days prior the event, attend the concert and scream, sing (or at least attempt to since I've accepted the fact that my mando comprehension is completely and utterly hopeless), jump and just spaze out those who are even more Jay-obsessive-fanatics than I am, and then happily die of most probably dehydration and lack of sleep at that point, after I get to meet him in person and get his autograph... yep... sounds good to me^^ heehee...

周杰倫為「功夫皇帝」李連杰的電影「霍元甲」寫下同名電影主題曲,除親自執導MV,更在MV中大跳一整段融 合嘻哈和中國風的舞蹈,此外,還仿效李連杰大膽耍弄三節棍,允「舞」又允「武」。為了偶像李連杰,周董可以 說是整個人都「霍」出去了!
Jay Chou wrote a theme song with the same name as the movie "Fearless" for the "Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li. Besides personally directing the MV, he even danced a dance that combined hip hop and Chinese style dance. He even imitated Jet Li and boldly showed off his skills with a 3 jointed nunchuck and thus "danced" and "showed his martial arts skills." For his idol Jet Li, Pres Chou can be said to have done everything he could (including the things he usually doesn't do).
周杰倫是許多人的偶像,然而他也有自己的偶像─李連杰。所以,與李連杰合作,他格外謹慎。
Jay Chou is many people's idols, yet he also has his own idol -- Jet Li. Thus, he was exceptionally careful when he cooperated with Jet Li.
除最近靈感泉湧寫下「霍元甲」同名電影主題曲,周董還叮嚀作詞的方文山歌詞要符合電影的精髓。果然歌詞裡「 天下誰的,第一又如何?止干戈,我輩尚武德。」或是「驕傲的活下去」等,都在在彰顯李連杰在電影中要傳達的 精神,以及喚醒年輕人愛惜生命的訊息。
Besides getting the inspiration to write Fearless as the theme song for the movie with the same name recently, Pres Chou instructed the lyricist Vincent Fang to write lyrics that fit with the essence of the movie. Indeed we see in the lyrics "Who does the world belong to and what does it matter if you're first? Stoping fights is the martial arts virtue of our generation," "live proudly," etc all refer to the main point of the message that Jet Li tried to communicate in the movie along with the message asking youths to treasure life.
此外,周董在歌曲中以女聲腔飆高音的詮釋細膩又有特色,可以說是這首歌的神來之筆。他笑說,「見到自己的偶 像一定要寫一首屌歌,這首歌我非常滿意!Rap的功力更上一層樓了,因為大家都聽不懂。」
Besides this, Pres Chou's imitation of a girl voice singing high tones is detailed and distinguished. This is the part of the song that can be said to be touched by God. He smiled and said, "Seeing my idol, I had to write a 'diao' song. I'm really satisfied with this song. My ability to rap has further improved because nobody understood what I sang."
「霍元甲」電影主題曲是一首中國風的嘻哈歌曲,MV也是中西合併,大家將會看到周杰倫在MV中大跳一整段的 「武扇舞」。
The theme song for the movie "Fearless" is a mix between Chinese and hip hop style. The MV is also a combination of eastern and western styles. Everybody will see Jay Chou dance a "martial arts fan dance" in the MV.
Note: I haven't heard of 武扇舞 (wu shan wu) before, but it literally means a martial arts fan dance. The fan is an object, not a person.
至於李連杰在「霍元甲」中耍三節棍的橋段,也給了周董靈感。周杰倫說,「兩年前買的三節棍終於可以派上用場 」!
The part where Jet Li plays with a 3 jointed nunchuck in "Fearless" also inspired Jay. Jay said, "The 3 jointed nunchuck that I bought 2 years ago can finally be put to use!"
周杰倫還仔細研究學習電影裡李連杰的動作,在MV裡大耍三節棍。他說,「輸人不輸陣」。
Jay also carefully observed and learned Jet Li's moves in the movie and played with the 3 jointed nunchuck in the MV. He said, "Even if I am not as skilled as the person (Jet Li), I want to look just as good as him."
「霍元甲EP」二十日發行,這支MV加上「11月的蕭邦」專輯裡的十二支MV共十三支音樂錄影帶,將一次讓 歌迷擁有收藏。
The "Fearless EP" will be released on the 20th. This MV along with the the 12 MVS from the album "November Chopin" add up to a total of 13 music videos that the fans can collect altogether in 1 purchase.
omg.... I wanna see the MV (TT____________TT)!!!!
