Jay Creates a New Type of Music With a Mystery Theme
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2006 10:43 pm
Jay, who likes to continuously surprise his fans, created a new type of music involving mysteries. His new album "Still Fantasy's" second theme song "Twilight's Chapter 7" is set up as an elegant mystery hinting an analogy with the well known Sherlock Holmes story. Putting the MV in Jay's hands, it became a murder mystery involving blue roses. He plays the role of a director, Nan Quan Mama's Yu Hao acts as his assistant, and Devon plays the role of the suspect.
Under Director Zhou's orders "To make it feel like a detective story, it has to be filmed in England," a large group of staff went all the way to Sherlock Holmes' country, England, in March to film the MV. Jay also made a 7 minute MV movie version for this movie. It is included in the DVD that comes with his new album, "Still Fantasy," that will be released tomorrow.
The whole song is a mystery written in the form of a diary. Jay proudly said: "(You) probably haven't heard of people writing rap songs out of mysteries yet. I can!" Jay wrote, produced, sang, acted, scripted, and directed this MV. These roles allowed Jay to take a big step towards his road to becoming a director.
The whole MV was filmed in England for 4 days at 7 places and cost 4 million. This excludes closing the whole library for filming purposes, renting a race car, borrowing an English police car, and using at least 20 part time actors in England. Putting this much money in a MV is rare in MV history.
In the MV, Jay wears a trench coat and is styled as a detective and acts with Yu Hao and Devon. Yu Hao followed the story's need to hit Jay's head really hard with a helmet. Doing this in front of Jay's massive group of fans scared him so much that he turned around to the camera and apologized to the fans prior to hitting Jay. As for poor Devon, he had to run, jump off walls, and fall under Jay's instructions. He was so mad that he kept mumbling: "I'm always the one that's taking risks, I quit!"
