What is interesting is that, from the perspective of "Secrets," Jay Chou still misses the campus era and piano career of the last century. Most of the debut works of literary and artistic youths have autobiographical traces. Since the filming of "Secret", the media has recounted the old case of Zhou Dong's first love. It is not without reason. The movie puts time and space in his middle school age: without mobile phones, Internet, MSN, playing piano, dancing, and passing notes are still tricks. The beautiful Tamkang Middle School, the melodious piano music, the boys and girls who want to talk about it-the movie is full of youthfulness, but the moment a prestigious Elvis appears in a campus concert, you will wake up: it happened in an unretrospective way last century.
Jay Chou has the power to recover. What he sings is what he shoots, because he is Jay Chou. When he first directed the tube, what he offered was still the trick to guard the door: music. After all, he is the king in the music empire. He has nowhere to put his domineering and fantasizing, he needs a huge movie to release (a song or a MV is not enough), and the music part becomes the life gate supporting the movie-Gui Lunmei borrows a piano music to travel through time and space, Huang Qiusheng Students who say that they don’t listen to music are not good kids. It may be Jay Chou’s intention to talk about the charm of music through the cloak of love stories. Then the "secret that cannot be told" is actually: in front of the mirror of music, from different times People can look at each other, dreaming.
This is also one of the reasons why this love sketch became more and more irritating afterwards. Under the portraits of Chopin and George Sang, the girl in 1979 caused lovesickness for a boy 20 years later, and was depressed all the time. You may not have imagined that Jay Chou’s feelings in 2007 are still similar to those in The Peony Pavilion. "Affection does not know where it arises, and it goes deep, the living can die, the dead can live" is the same. Chinese style and nostalgic style are the big labels of Jay Chou's music. Another evidence is that Yao Surong's old song "Lover's Tears" has repeatedly appeared, giving the film a nostalgic style. At the end of "Secrets", in 1999 when the old school building was destroyed, Jay Chou resolutely chose to return to 20 years ago. He is willing to live again with a baby face, and he does not want to enter the new century. In the new century, there are mountains and plains of G milk princesses and sweet leaders, but there are few literary girls like Gui Lunmei!
