In the 2004 music video for the song 'Terrace,' Jay Chou handled everything, from lyrics to music, and even filmed it himself. In today's era dominated by social media, anyone can be a self-media if they dare to flaunt, but 20 years ago, when cell phones couldn't go online or take photos, 'Asian King' Jay Chou was already playing with selfies. Recently, the MV for 'Terrace,' rediscovered by fans, showed a young Chou using a handheld DV camera to capture moments around his home, even gaining attention for his early 'vlog' style. Despite the rough filming style, the video earned Chou a nomination for Best Lyricist at the 2004 Golden Melody Awards, competing against lyricist Vincent Fang. Fans praised the sincerity of the lyrics and Chou's inspiration from his environmental surroundings, blending indigenous chants, Chinese operatic vocals, and classical piano in a new style of slow-paced rap music.
