What do Jay Chou (Chapter 7 of Night) and Snake Dance mean?

Chapter VII Night:

Jay Chou, who always brings surprises to everyone, has created a musical variety of detective suspense! Chapter 7 of the Night, the title song of the third wave, is composed by Jay Chou and written by Huang Junlang, which is a gorgeous and suspenseful metaphor for the story of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes is a novel character in the late 19 and early 20th century). In the hands of screenwriter Jay Chou, the MV turned into a suspenseful murder of the blue enchantress. Jay Chou plays the detective himself, Yu Hao plays the detective's assistant, and the warhead plays the suspect.

Director Zhou said: Of course, it is interesting to shoot detective stories in Britain! So in a word, a large group of staff came to Sherlock Holmes' hometown in the cold early spring at the end of March this year and spent 4 million to shoot this unprecedented detective film.

Note 65438+the last prosperous era of Britain in the 9th century. Sherlock Holmes is known as "the light of the century". In Baker Street, London, Sherlock Holmes played Jack the Ripper who killed five women in a row (Sherlock Holmes is a novel character and Jack the Ripper is a real character).

Creative background: Detective Jay is typing: "It all started on a cold winter night. Thin air and a blue rose are the only clues. The truth will soon be revealed. But I deceived myself. I close my eyes and let sin eat me alive .............. "

Everything in the story happened in a murder case overnight. Detective Jay and his assistant Yu saw a man looking around when they were looking at the body at the scene, so they caught up with him. Unfortunately, the man ran away. At home, Jay and his assistant started from Blue Rose, visited flower shops, old people and even went to the library to find information, and finally found the coffee shop where the suspect worked. Inadvertently, Jay saw a blue rose on the plate carried by a waiter, so he remembered the blue rose on the mouth of the corpse. At this moment, a waiter came over and ran when he saw the two of them, and ran when he saw the detective. Jay was certainly surprised. So the detective and his assistant went after him, but they didn't catch up. Ask the waiter to know where the warhead lives. As soon as he arrived in a room, Jay was knocked unconscious ... The real murderer was his detective assistant-Yu Hao. On the surface, Yu Hao is the assistant of detective "Jay Holmes", but in fact he is a murderous demon. Once I was eating in that coffee shop, because I had a quarrel with the deceased and was just hit by a bullet (waiter &; I don't feel much when I see them quarreling. But when the crime was committed, it happened to be a warhead (man & amp; Men's clothing) filmed his murder scene, so in order to kill him, the warhead became the target of Yu Hao's murder (at the end of the play, it was expressed in the form of narration). After Jay was hit in the back of the head and fainted, Yu Hao found the warhead's residence (real), burned the photos recording his murder, and killed the warhead. Then go back to the scene where Jay was knocked unconscious and pretend to faint. Jay woke up and rescued Yu Hao from the scene. While carrying Yu Hao, Jay saw the ring on Yu Hao's right index finger. In a flash, a picture flashed before he was knocked unconscious: "An index finger that knocked him down from behind was wearing a right hand with a ring." He thought of everything, but instead of exposing it, he picked up Yu Hao again.

"On April 14, the case has ended and the story has come to an end. I'm the only one who knows the truth, but I can't say it, and I won't say it ................................................................................................................................................

There are seven scenes in the whole MV ***: 1. Parks in the suburbs of London. 2. Detective's office. 3. At the door of the deceased's old man's house, a flower shop. 5. Coffee shop. 6. London Street. 7. The suspect's house filmed in London, England, including the whole library, was used to shoot and rent sports cars. This handwriting is unprecedented, and there will be no one after it! Jay Chou wears a trench coat detective hat, Yu Hao wears the temperament of the British Academy, the bullet plays the role of a coffee shop chef, and the photographer's jacket is shaped. Under the guidance of director Jay Chou, the two of them didn't even know the plot at the performance site. The three of them are very enjoyable and really suspense to the highest point. Who is wearing an old man's mask? Please look forward to it?

There is not a mouth-to-mouth picture in the whole MV. At the beginning of the MV, the director also designed the movie title, photos of the murder scene, characters introduction and special effects subtitles to create a suspense opening step by step; The compact plot and music are skillfully combined, and the singing versions included in the movie soundtrack and album are different. In order to lay out the plot, Jay Chou wrote a soundtrack that matched the situation. The whole MV is 9 minutes and 47 seconds long (movie version), and there is no need for dialogue or subtitles. Just editing the picture makes people blind. With such ingenious techniques, it can be said that only directors, screenwriters, performers, singers and composers can arrange music. Different from the shooting of some plot MVs without lyrics, the perfect combination of images and songs in Chapter Seven of the Night has made Jay Chou's road to film directing a big step forward.

"Music is Sherlock Holmes' favorite, and detective skills and chasing criminals were once regarded by him as more important activities than life.

20 (then justice is a deep and helpless melancholy)

In many cases, Holmes deeply felt the weakness of the so-called "justice" from the law; At Granci Hall, Holmes said, "Watson, no, I can't do that. Once the summons was issued, he could not be saved. Once or twice, I deeply realized that I found out that the harm caused by criminals was greater than the harm caused by the crime itself. Now I know I need to be careful. I'd better fool English law, not my conscience. " . At the feet of the devil and out of sympathy for justice, Holmes released the murderer Dr. Stadell.

During a thrilling trip to the European continent, he said to Watson, "If my life journey ends tonight, I can die with a clear conscience. Because of my existence, the air in London is very fresh.
