R - Reporter
J - Jay Chou

R: How many times have you been to Fuzhou, how is your impression of Fuzhou?

J: This is my second time to Fuzhou, the last time was when I participated in the "Southeast Awards Night Party", and both times I felt very happy. Fuzhou is a very beautiful city, the fans in Fuzhou are too passionate, I couldn't hold them off.

R: In your MTV you use a lot of Chinese kung fu movements, if there was a director who invited you to film a kung fu movie, would you consider it?

J: My kung fu foundation is still not as good as Jet Li, but if there's a chance, I will try filming action movies.

R: When you're not in a good mood, what ways do you take to vent it out?

J: Play ball, drive.

R: This year you became the big winner of different music awards ceremonies, what meaning does winning an award have towards you?

J: I personally think that winning an award is a kind of affirmation towards you. I take winning awards as a kind of attacking power, I will put the awards in my room, when I have time I will admire them, that's also my secret weapon to writing good songs, if I can't win awards, it would be hard for me to have the motivation to write more.

R: The people who like you say your songs are very special, but, the people who don't like you say they don't know what you're singing, to this, what view do you have?

J: Actually the flavour of everyone's singing is different, I won't deliberately pronounce clearly when singing. Maybe before when I spoke I didn't speak especially clearly, if you sing too clearly, sometimes instead you think it's strange. There's a good point to singing not clearly, when you forget the lyrics other people can't hear what you're singing, I think this characteristic sometimes is a good point.

R: How do you see tonight's concert?

J: The concert lets me come into close contact with the fans, I really like this way. The main reason I came to Fuzhou this time is for the concert, I hope I can bring happiness to the audience that like me. In the past I didn't have any special expectation towards my concerts, since you are an artist, naturally you have to do concerts. Slowly, I found out that concerts are so fun. In tonight's concert, I will give the most exciting program to the passionate Banyan City fans.
