He is accustomed to using the notes he is most familiar with to replace expressions that are not good at words, hoping to share and communicate with everyone the mood that belongs to our emotional city. For more than a year, Ji Jiasong has traveled around as a creative artist, from Hong Kong, Beijing, Bali, Tokyo, Vancouver, New York, London, etc. Observing the things around me, observing love from different angles, using music to record and complete this brand new creative album. From sweetness, love, criticism, breakup and post-breakup emotions. Whether it is a friend who is in love or a friend who is falling out of love, I hope to use the feeling of sharing to gain empathy and understanding from the audience. During this period, Ji Jiasong's emotional life took a major turn. After breaking up with my girlfriend of 10 years, I experienced a short relationship that ended in just 99 days. These two love affairs are of different lengths and situations. The same thing is that Ji Jiasong, who lives a simple life and is simple and dedicated to feelings, feels depressed and sad. This was also the inspiration and motivation for him to compose the album's title song "Goldfish Tears". During this period of depression, the comfort and encouragement from some friends around him became a great comfort to him. Ji Jiasong especially thanked Shu Qi, one of his many female friends. After listening to this song, I wrote "The fishman without tears, the fool, the remaining people" to him. Ji Jiasong likes this sentence very much because it is very close to his creation and mood. Therefore, I communicated with the record company and regarded this sentence as the SLOGAN of the album. ◎Simple music Ji Jiasong’s self-disciplined musician life Ji Jiasong is a simple person and lives a very simple life. For him, creation and music are almost everything. He has always lived a self-disciplined life, shouldering the mission of a musician and creating hard and purely. Some colleagues secretly laughed at him as a "musical ascetic". He feels that in fact, the most important thing is the essence, and everything else is just added packaging. The essence of a record is music, which is why he has been working hard and persisting in creation. Therefore, everything from his music to his album packaging and even styling are simple but high-quality. Just like some biscuits, they may be wrapped with layers of wrapping paper. In fact, only the biscuits themselves are eaten in the end, and the rest become redundant packaging or even discarded waste. It is complicated and not environmentally friendly. Coinciding with the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan, these natural counterattacks may also make us all think about the importance of environmental protection. Use the creator to define the creator, let the photographer and stylist create it. Ji Jiasong's simple and neat album style is close to the artist and presents the photography concept of the album spirit. The record company and Ji Jiasong did not give too much to the stylist and photographer for the styling and photography of this album. restrictions. Instead, it gives them a lot of creative space, and hopes that they will create Ji Jiasong with the views of creators in different fields, giving Ji Jiasong a new feeling that is different from the past. In terms of styling, the excessive and complicated idol-like packaging of the previous album has been abandoned. And return to Ji Jiasong's daily simple and plain style and clothing. Pair it with simple and civilian jeans and T-shirts to create a simple texture. In terms of album photography, the loneliness and sadness of the album are faithfully taken as the main axis. Presented with colors, artistic conception and simple props. The dim and cold light and shadow make both the person and the fish tank feel lonely. The gray cover shows the loneliness and helplessness of "all thoughts are lost". The black back cover has an empty chair with no one, and only the lonely goldfish swimming has color, symbolizing the sadness of "the song ends and everyone is gone". ◎24-hour marathon shooting of the "Goldfish's Tears" MV breaks through personal scales, challenges physical limits, and stimulates dramatic potential. Ji Jiasong is a shy and somewhat reserved person, both in public and in private. Although the previous album had a dramatic performance in the "Same Regret" MV. But having familiar fellow disciples Wilber Pan and Jiang Yuchen with him made it easier to get into the situation. This time in the "Goldfish Tears" MV, it was his first time to perform alone, and he performed with a beautiful girl he didn't know at all. In this MV, in addition to expressing a lot of inner drama, the director also arranged a lot of "action scenes" for him. Ji Jiasong personally performed the scenes of riding a bicycle, beating people, being hit by a car, being drenched in water, and the sex scenes that colleagues joked were assigned to the guidance level. Ji Jiasong, who originally thought that he could only sing to handsome lip-syncers, failed many times at the beginning of the performance, but after the director's repeated auditions and communication, he gradually got into the situation. One by one, these performances have been completed that have not been attempted before. , this MV was shot for nearly 24 hours.

The marathon shooting time also challenged Ji Jiasong's physical limits. The last sex scene, which required touching the actress's breasts, exceeded personal standards. After the filming was completed, Ji Jiasong said that performing the sex scene in front of so many people was really embarrassing and nervous. Fortunately, the filming was completed smoothly and the effect was good. He also jokingly said that acting is actually quite fun, and a successful performance will give people a sense of accomplishment. Maybe in the near future, everyone will have the opportunity to see Ji Jiasong's theatrical performance. ◎Multiple genres, creative and innovative, 10 heart-touching compositions. The album "Fishman" contains 10 songs. The song style combines rhythm and blues, pop, piano rock, jazz, etc... I feel that music is closely related to life. The difference from the first album is that the last album is about describing where the music comes from. This album took a year and a half to travel, 3 months to create, and 3 months to record and produce. It put more emotional elements and more observational angles into the lyrics and music. In addition to the usual musical partners Li Nianhe and Yang Dawei, this time I also collaborated with other outstanding musicians such as Hong Jingyao, Lu Shaochun, Xu Shizhen, Ge Dawei and other musicians, hoping to inspire more musical sparks. Album Appreciation 1. WHY WHY WHY' Genre: RNB's R&B style. Women don't love men if they're not bad. The creative idea came from a dialogue I saw in the movie "In the movies its usually the good guy who gets the girl, in real life, its the prick." In movies, it's usually the good guys who get the girls they want, but in the real world, it's the ruffians who get the girls. 2. The Tears of Goldfish ‘Genre: PIANO ROCK’ It’s my first self-guided trip to London. The Discovery Channel is introducing the memory of goldfish. I can’t help but feel that memory has a time limit. Human beings were originally so fragile. Thinking back on my own love, I once had a relationship. After we broke up, the woman left me a goldfish. I always felt that this goldfish was very pitiful. No one could see it crying in the water. I decided to take good care of this goldfish until this girl came back. Every day I took good care of this lonely goldfish. A few months later, I discovered that it was not this goldfish that was lonely, but me...it was me who was lonely. 3. The Eyes of Love ‘Genre: RNB’ read the preface of a book that said, “A lover’s gaze is everything. No amount of words or hugs can compare to a lover’s gaze.” "Once in a blue moon", the intersecting eyes prove everything. 4. Know what you know about Ragtime Piano' Genre: Pop' Emotionally, you always guess what the other person is thinking, how can you make this relationship more profound, the two of you live the same life, see what he sees, and feel. What he felt was the fastest way. On my third day in New York, the weather finally cleared up after the blizzard. I took the subway without wearing headphones and watched the performance of street performers. As I walked, I found an outdoor cafe to sit at William *** urg. Come down and look at the streets with people coming and going, hoping that I can understand you better. 5. Floating City Dreamland ‘Genre: Pop’ One day when I was falling out of love, I decided to book a flight and fly to Bali alone to experience the unfinished trip that she and I had made. In Bali, I felt the power of nature for the first time. It can be so moving without rehearsal. The same starry sky and the same ocean carry many people's wishes and dreams, as well as many people's thoughts. 6. First Lady ‘Genre: RNB’ First Lady is a foreign title. I don’t know why, but I always think it sounds very classical. An 80% English song, in the style of R&B, with some Chinese dulcimer playing pentatonic scales interspersed in the music. The concept of my creation this time is that sometimes there are too many assumptions and too many what-ifs in life. If one day you hear this song in a square in the world, please remember that you will always be my first lady. 7. Cotton Field 'Genre: Folk' The handwritten card, the warm sunshine, it feels as pure as love, and makes people feel as soft and comfortable as cotton. How I wish I could wander around again How wonderful it would be to have you in this pure cotton field 8. Sewing Phone 'Genre: RNB' The story of a combination of circumstances always leads you to the left or right. Until the moment of handing in transcripts, everything is a test. In Tokyo's Yamanote Line MRT, everyone seems to have no need to communicate face to face. Everyone has a mobile phone and keeps sending text messages. Maybe everyone has their own love story. The song is about a pair of lovers who broke up. Neither of them could forget each other. The man had a girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend called one night to say that she still had feelings for him. She wanted to continue the relationship, but she had already. It's too late. The original phone gave us a lot of regrets for each other.

9. Embarrassment Let go ‘Genre: British Rock’ After the breakup, I feel that the lost love is like a drug that remains in the blood and cannot be metabolized. With your breathing, no matter how painful it is, you can’t feel it. You left, but I'm still remembering...embarrassing myself. 10. Lullaby ‘Genre: Folk’ It was three o’clock in the morning, I was lying on the balcony listening to the radio. The old song Lullaby was playing on the radio, and the DJ was coaxing me to sleep. I also want to write a song to put you to sleep every day... Green basil is a commonly used spice in pasta, but many people don't know that the flowers blooming from basil are white. How to let feelings sprout, maybe sing a lullaby to coax her to sleep every day before going to bed, and one day love will bloom white flowers.
