Secret games movie jay chou
Regardless of how you feel about Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou's directorial debut Secret, Jay's work in the film is pretty impressive when you round up all those job titles - the pop star not only played the lead actor and directed the film, he also came up with the original story and co-composed the score. The film's score, with tracks written by Thai composer Terdsak Janpan, all appear in the original soundtrack along with the numerous theme songs from the pseudo-musical. Some people say that the best film scores are those you don't notice, and the rule applies very well here. For a film where music itself plays such a large role (the characters all go or teach at a music school most of the score is not very memorable while watching Secret. For a pop composer, Jay Chou makes a fairly smooth transition from pop songs to instrumentals, eschewing catchy choruses and verses for elegant piano-heavy tracks. Except for a few key moments in the film where the music happens to be the most memorable aspect - the piano battle ( Track 5) and the Jay- Rain piano duet ( Track 6) - the Secret Original Soundtrack balances suitability with quality. In other words, most of the instrumentals from the film don't particularly stand out when watching the film, but one can definitely sense the effort put into it when only listening to the soundtrack. It might surprise a few people, but Jay actually didn't play the piano in most of the instrumental tracks on this soundtrack. While he did write many of the tracks, he actually only played the piano in two of them - Rain Lu ( Track 15) and The Swan ( Track 16). Writing many of these tracks (15, to be precise) is an impressive feat in itself, but it's even more impressive that Jay was able to shed his usual beat-driven signature Western- Chinese hybrid pop style to match the film's subdued English countryside atmosphere. However, it would seem.
