Jay Chou denies possibility of starring in "Bruce Lee"

by kelvin@multistars - 9th December 2003

Yesterday afternoon, Jay took advantage of the free time of preparing for the Shanghai concert; he came to Nanjing Road to present the prize to the fans that won an award in a certain event. In the interview with the reporters, he frankly said that he wasn't satisfied with the movie "Hidden Track", which has just come out; he also denied the possibility that he will be starring in the movie "Bruce Lee".

Even though this movie "Hidden Track" has won over the fans' concentrated attention, but because there was too much "moisture content" in the middle, it has received a lot of negative criticism. Jay has always emphasised that he has a strong interest in movies, but this movie has given Jay, who has had things run smoothly, a bit of a setback. Jay, who is a bit tired, didn't directly face the audience's feedback to this movie, he responded: "This movie is using music to connect the story's plot, I appear at the end. Movies will always have criticism when they come out, but this won't influence my interest towards movies. In the past I always hoped to have a chance to film a movie, but this time the part with only me was only a few minutes, I NGed a good few times, I discovered that filming a movie is completely different from making music which I'm familiar with."

As for the entertainment circle has been rumouring that Jay has intention to star in another movie "Bruce Lee", Jay resolutely denied it, he said: "These are merely rumours of the outside world. Bruce Lee has always been my most respected movie character, he is the Chinese people's pride, from when I was small I was fascinated with the different roles Bruce Lee plays in movies, he influenced my interest in movies and martial arts to a very high degree. I think using one word "God" to describe Bruce Lee is very suitable, but if you wanted me to play Bruce Lee, this kind of mental respect and worship makes me have a kind of barrier. Even more importantly, through this movie "Hidden Track", it has let me have new knowledge of movies, so many NGs illustrates that for me to film a movie is not so easy, and plus you want me to play such an important hero in my heart!"
