Jay Chou encounters "kiss stealing"
by kelvin@multistars - 14th December 2003
Yesterday, Pepsi big star Jay held his Shandong fans meeting in Qingdao. In the people's hall there were 2000 odd crazy fans and "young heavenly king Jay" coming into close contact. Jay led the fans there to "revelry", inside half an hour; they played basketball, practised martial arts, singing competition.... The entire people's hall was lit up by Jay's popularity. And a courageous Qingdao fan even forcefully took a kiss onstage.
At 9 in the morning, the fans outside the people's hall already queued up, waiting to enter. After the fans meeting started at 2 in the afternoon. The fans, awaiting Jay's appearance there, continuously sent out deafening screams, calling out their idol. And outside there were about 100 fans that couldn't get in but they still waited, not willing to leave.
At 3, in the middle of the fans all-screaming, "Jay Chou, I love you", Jay finally appeared, he, who is not good with words, used the sentence "Hello everyone of Qingdao" as the opening line. At once, screams, cries and also flashing lights that continuously flashed giving Jay the best gift at the first meeting. Afterwards, the fans all stood on the chairs, some of the chairs broke.
Jay's "economy"
Jay's super popularity, not only does he make the fans meeting lively, at the same time it has given rise to another property related to him, Jay's "economy".
"Madness" of scalper of tickets
There were a lot of scalpers of tickets that appeared outside the venue, they bought the free tickets for a low price and then they continuously sold them for higher prices, the ticket prices in different periods "jumped 3 times": $80, $100, $150, the highest was $200.
Rubber stamps demanded
Not only is the young heavenly king's popularity very influential and powerful, even all the products that are related to him have become "popular cakes", posters, commemorative rubber stamps and t-shirts with his image printed on them...all things that have to do with Jay are selling well, not only this but the prices are high, a poster that only originally cost $0.5 unexpectedly costs $5.
Driving interrelated products
A lot of fans came early, not only was the cold weather hard to bear, the solution for midday lunch also became a big problem, a lot of shops had sales: corn, chips, hamburgers, bread.... very demanded. Seeing Jay hold his meeting yesterday, Jay, who became famous with his songs, showed another side of him to everyone through playing interactive games with the fans.
Scared of being poisoned again
As soon as Jay went on stage he explained to everyone the reason why he had food poisoning last time, in order to guarantee that this time the fans meeting would run smoothly, from 3 days ago he didn't dare to eat things without paying attention.
Is a Wu Lin master
In the commercial, Jay displays his "Dragon Fist" to everyone; you can see his power in every move. Jay revealed saying that this is completely "exclusively created by himself", and then he led 10 fans to do the scene of "Dragon Fist" in the commercial again.
Loves basketball the most
Jay's love for basketball is already not a secret. Jay brought with him his skilled passing skill, also in the "competition" afterwards, Jay faced the defence of a fan who was taller than him by a head and he succeeded. He "frankly" explained that this merit goes to the result of hard training when he was small his head was too short.
