Jay Chou films MTV in Beijing, rumoured girlfriend Jolin Choi accompanies
by kelvin@multistars - 17th June 2004Recently all news related to Jay has nearly been on the entertainment newspapers everyday, no matter if it is related/not related to music, as long as it has something to do with him, it is bound to be topic on the streets and in discussion forums, saying like this then the rumour between Jay and Jolin is already not anything fresh of a topic. But, recently the relationship of Double J has had a new development, not long ago Jay took the chance of coming to Beijing to film a commercial to also film the MV for one of the plugged songs in his new album, but in his overwhelming work team, there was a petite figure that aroused the reporters' attention, she is Jolin. The two who can't often move alone in Taipei, this time they publicly gathered together in Beijing, inevitably it makes people suspect their real relationship once again....
Not visiting, she is accompanying
Due to the fact that the schedule for the latter half of this year has already been fully arranged, therefore even to film his MV Jay has to squeeze time out. Using the one day he has away from the next performance, not only was he, who respects his work, not idling around, he even dragged the whole crew to the Central Academy of Drama Campus in Dong Cheng District, Jay's splendid summer holiday music odyssey is about to start here.
In order to maintain the feeling of mystery, when they were filming the MV of the new song, the staff did not stick to convention to broadcast while filming. Even though the work yesterday started at 9am, but Jay who was wearing a teal colour t-shirt seemed to be in good vitality. Sometimes he moved back and forth with showy boxing to relax, sometimes he picks up his mobile and makes a call, what a joy to be so busy. You could also often see him play gags with the staff, originally the staff were full of sleepiness but under his constant stimulating, they rapidly entered into the state of work. About 10, the filming began, Jay who was just laughing before returned to his coolness in the past in one go, his serious in speech and manner look seems like a different person to the "warm" one just before.
It was obvious that it was when he filmed the MV with good friends Nan Quan Mama has made his craving to be a director deluge, in between filming work on that day, Jay constantly exchanged knowledge with the director of this MV Kuang-Sheng Fu, discussing the use and cut over of the camera, his approach was extremely professional. Even though the filming of the middle part is at the same time as when students have to go to lessons, but it still attracted a lot of students to watch, not only this but the number of people was spectacular, Jay's work is often broken by students coming up and asking for autographs, the school had no choice but to send out security to maintain order at the scene. According to the reporters' observation, the content of this MV more or less has something to do with life in school, due to the fact that there was only the filming of a bit of still scenes and add to that Kuang-Sheng Fu's ideas have always been very original, therefore the reporters couldn't see many clues at the scene, Jay's new album is going to maintain the mystery to the end. In the afternoon as usual he ate fast food, he solved his hunger problem in half an hour. About 4pm, they finished the outside filming for this MV. Tomorrow they move into the studio to do the second part of filming.
This time Jay filming his MV in Beijing, no matter if it is from the record company or the financial company they are sealing off news at all costs, apart from familiar staff being able to come in and out of the studio freely, other times the entrance only exposes an extremely small crack. If you get a little bit closer there will be someone coming up to you to check, there's no way of entering. But the reporters outside could hear the music floating out from inside, but due to the fact the echo was strong, they could only hear the approximate trend of the music, just like what Jay said, not changing the style is his biggest persistence. That night, after much hard work from the reporters, they finally contacted a familiar staff inside. Once they asked about it only then did they know, the reporters unexpectedly missed a good show, during the day there was an "uninvited guest" accompanying Jay, she was Jolin. Because Jay helped Jolin with her latest album "Castle", she got good sales in the whole country, recently she has been doing promotion in Mainland China, this time coming to Beijing was to participate in a fashion party organised by a certain famous brand, but with her current popularity, there's no need for her to come to Beijing just for that, it's not an event she cannot be without, maybe she is "the wine is not the drinker's concern".
According to the revealing of this staff, once Jolin arrived at Jay's filming scene she was obviously very excited, she was busy exchanging a few words of greetings with the staff, and then she quietened down and sat at a corner watching Jay work, she had a very concentrating look. In between filming, they sat and chatted, no one disturbed them, Jay was very shy all along and he also put out a pretend cool look, it was indeed very funny. And Jolin seemed a lot more broadminded, constantly talking about the knowledge she gained promoting in Mainland China, occasionally her expression was a bit low, this may be related to when her assistant answered reporters in Qing Dao. Sometimes Jay will interrupt with a few words, making Jolin's mood turn good. Jolin stayed at the scene for about 4 hours, she only hurriedly left in the afternoon. This was not 4 hours away from start of the fashion party.
According to reports, Jay and Jolin are signed to the same agent company, and this time the two arriving in Beijing, the company are going to be responsible for their living arrangements for the whole trip, according to convention, there is a big chance they will be in the same hotel.
On the same ship meeting the storm
A day afterwards, the two set off towards Hong Kong from separate places to participate in the Pepsi spokesperson event. Even though the two's rumour in Hong Kong has already rumoured many times, but Jay and Jolin are still completely without fear. Not only did they join up with similar aged Edison, but every time the two exchange glances, the two would smile at the same time. And while filming this commercial, Jolin once announced that Edison is her best boyfriend candidate, towards this Jay seemed to not approve, just had some "words" about Jolin's sexy outfit, "Her outfit is very good, very sexy, makes me not dare to look at her a bit." Because the interview scene was too noisy, there were some reporters asking Jay to repeat, Jay said "Oh, you didn't hear, that's too good", then he talked about something else and got past the level. The weird behaviour really makes people suspect their real relationship. Apart from the two often appearing at the same place, their luck is also surprising similar, when it's smooth it's smooth, when it's bad it's bad. Recently Jolin has encountered her first setback in Mainland China, she performed without being granted permission, and the Zhejiang culture department are blocking her off. And on the side of Jay, his work has also encountered troubles, his album is still not finished, making the mood heavily polluted, the good thing is the two haven't felt defeated because of this, apart from the support of Xiao Zhu, Geng Hong, etc... by the side, according to reports they often send text messages encouraging each other, hoping they can overcome the crisis soon.
