Jay Chou gives millions of red envelopes
by kelvin@multistars - 11th February 2005Jay, who has always been lavish, has never been mean to the staff by his side of many years, the quota for the red envelopes is calculated with "ten thousands", this year, year of the rooster, he has given out over a million TW$ (about HK$250,000) of red envelopes, Stef Sun also gave out TW$600,000 red envelopes, F4, Jolin Choi and David Tao, etc... all became Gods of Wealth giving out red envelopes!
The New Year tradition in Taiwan is that it doesn't matter if you are married or not, as long as you are working you have to give out red envelopes, according to a "red envelope" survey of the record occupation, even though the record market in Taiwan has not been good, but when the artists give out red envelopes they are not light handed, not only do they give out money to support gifts for the "end of the year" party, they will also give out 10,000 red envelopes, cheering on the staff who have worked hard all year round.
Jay is this year's most lavish, the red envelopes he has given out in total they had over TW$1 million, his assistant red envelope quota was over TW$100,000, Stef Sun gave TW$600,000, David Tao gave TW$300,000, F4 gave out TW$160,000 with the F4 name, individually they privately gave out red envelopes to the staff.
"The highest earning Taiwan artist" of the Year of the Monkey Jay will always become the big winner of the "dispatching of red envelopes" every year, Jay said frankly: "I like the feeling of giving out red envelopes, the people receiving are happy, the people giving are also happy, everybody is happy!" Every year the amount in red envelopes will go over TW$1 million, he said: "It is not important how much it is, the most important is that everyone is happy!"
Jay, who has a one week holiday in the Lunar New Year, revealed he will be staying at home to rest, in the past year he has practically been working non-stop, constantly filming movies, commercials, tour concerts, etc... he doesn't see his family very often, so in the New Year he will "make up" for it and spend the festival with his maternal grandmother and mother, but, he estimated that he will rest at home for 3 to 4 days and then come out, driving his most beloved antique cars, going about in Taipei.
