Jay Chou has made a breakthrough in Ye Huimei's style, in which Answer Straight uses China's classical musical instrument Pipa and ancient poetry, borrows the tune with China's ancient style and integrates the western R&; B style.
"Direct Answer" continues the consistent style, seemingly out of tune but full of imagination. Pop songs are extremely lethal, have a special context and are written in a way close to poetry.
When the pipa of Direct Answer lingers in time and space, it seems to be accompanying and crying.

Creative background:
The name of direct answer comes from an ancient folk music score. The sentence' I miss being thin after you left' comes from Li Qingzhao's sentence' It should be green fat and red thin'.
Like many China musicians, Jay Chou chose to return to culture after years of pure Westernization, and collaborated with Fang Zhouzi for the first time in his fourth album "Ye Huimei" in 2003 for a retro work with oriental charm.
Historically, China pop music in any era is not short of such western-style works serving China. The timing of the appearance of "Direct Answer" is precisely the most comprehensive and pure era of westernization of the whole China society, especially the pop music scene. Under the background of B culture, music is even in danger of completely lacking local culture.
The creation of Jay Chou's "Direct Answer" is just a good opportunity to make a balanced attempt for the exchange of China culture and western music structure.
