Director Chou is "diao", wants to win a Grammy singing Chinese
by kelvin@multistars - 22nd July 2010Source: NOWNews
Having been out for 10 years, everyone can see Jay Chou's effort in the Chinese music industry. From being an artist, to an actor and then to a director, every time he changes roles you can see his effort, 10 years have passed, "I'm not willing to be eliminated by time, I hope I can surpass it." His goal for music next is to win a Grammy singing Chinese, "I think if it's diao it's diao!"
This year he released "The Era", the contents of the album have captured people's attention, it's been the topic of dispute but it has still sold well, he understands you cannot rely just on music to make money nowadays, but you have to let fans who there's such a number one person, and let the media take more promotional shots, "I let the media rcord my life, when I'm old I can look back on it, this is pretty good."
But his goal for music is of course not just this, having gained experience of filming a Hollywood movie in "The Green Hornet", breaking into the American market is not a hard thing anymore, in the next 10 years, he wants to sing Chinese songs and win the most important music award, "Grammy", to prove himself in the domain of music.
He smiled saying, having been an artist for 10 years, the most refreshing thing was filming "The Green Hornet", he says in the future he wants to draw a circle on the floor of the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, above it he'll write the word "diao". "When foreigners see it they definitely ask me what it means, I think this is very cool!"
No matter if you are a Jay Chou fan, but his efforts deserve praise, you just have to admit he is the leader in the Chinese music industry.
