【双语学习】周董的《说好不哭》，你听哭了吗？

9月16日，华语乐迷迎来了一件“重大喜事”——沉寂许久未发专辑的杰伦小公举终于发新单曲了！自从周杰伦结婚后，“炫妻狂魔”、“炫酷奶爸”等热词成为了他的标签，酷爱奶茶的他更是成为奶茶界新贵，身材也一度不受控制。在粉丝每天催发专辑的猛烈攻势之下，我们终于迎来了这首《说好不哭》，听过这首歌的你，哭了吗？

16日晚11点，周杰伦的新单曲《说好不哭》首播MV，发布不到半个小时，QQ音乐被瞬间被“挤爆”，各大平台总预售销量突破200万张，朋友圈纷纷刷屏，话题持续占据微博热搜榜第一。更有网友戏称，“周总的微信转账提醒应该响疯了！”

此次新歌是周杰伦时隔一年空白期后的首支单曲，整体感觉依旧延续了周氏情歌风格，周杰伦作曲+方文山作词的黄金组合默契依旧。更令人惊喜和亢奋的是，霸占了我们青春另一半边天的五月天主唱阿信也出现在MV中，“周五神仙组合”横空出世啦！

歌曲MV由日本女星三吉彩花和男星渡边圭祐出演，讲述了一个女孩对摄影师男友无怨无悔的陪伴、支持和等待的故事。用心的网友还发现了MV中的隐藏彩蛋：比如著名的“奶茶梗”（女主打工的奶茶店是周董最爱的那家店），还有唤起童年回忆的“戳脸梗”——还记得当年《不能说的秘密》的优乐美吗？

很多网友在听过新歌后大呼“我哭了”。当然，这也分为两种情绪，一种是真的感动到了，尤其在看过感人的MV后想起了自己的青春，寂静的深夜里不禁想那段“逝去的爱情”。但更多的人表示“有点失望”，认为这首歌并没有达到令人惊喜的水准，词曲、立意、制作都“乏善可陈”，豆瓣评分也一路从最开始的8.9下滑到了目前的5.9。

然而，天王的地位不是如此轻易就会被撼动的，即使没有如所有人所愿，粉丝们还是表示周董的歌永远是经典。自2000年发布他的第一张专辑《Jay》后，近20年来，周杰伦作为创作歌手，被称为亚洲流行音乐之王当之无愧。2003年《时代周刊》就曾评价过，周杰伦做音乐如同海绵，吸收了各种曲风与潮流，再不着痕迹地融入他中国风味的R&B中。周董的歌永远不是唱给音乐公司的老板听，而是唱到我们的心坎里。

周杰伦早已成为80、90后们青春的标志，也许他的歌本身早已没有那么重要，只要是是他肯唱，我们就肯陪他一直走下去，永远像个孩子一样。

Jay Chou released new music after a year at 11pm Monday, and the Chinese internet could barely contain their excitement. The new track, a piano-propelled song called “Won't Cry” which features fellow Mandopop megastar Ashin from Mayday, shifted 2 million copies in its first hour — and the numbers have only continued to grow at a staggering rate since then.

The duo's track was even blamed for a temporary outage on one of China's biggest streaming platforms, QQ Music.

The copies sold across streaming platforms QQ Music, Kugou, and Kuwo in the first two hours of being online earned the song 10 million RMB.

Jay Chou became an overnight sensation after his album Jay was released in 2000. For nearly 20 years, the singer-songwriter has been widely hailed as the king of Asian pop, praised for the originality and diversity of his tracks, numerous music awards and influence on the Chinese-speaking music world.

“Jay Chou's music has ruled, and may be transforming, the Asian pop universe.

Chou is a sponge when it comes to music, absorbing styles and trends and then seamlessly incorporating them into his Oriental-flavored R&B. "He mixes Western instruments with Chinese instruments, like the di (Chinese flute) and the three-string sanxian," explains Chou's friend and fellow musician Rex Jan. "He's also adopted Chinese five-tone melodies as opposed to Western ones."

What makes Chou's music successful, and distinctive from all the boys who would be Jay, is that when he sings that he is hurting or yearning or that he needs you so bad, you believe him. His delivery is Boyz II Men-smooth, and he hits those notes with a conviction born of having proved himself as a songwriter.
