Jay Chou judges his own music 100% and acting 65%
by kelvin@multistars - 9th November 2003Asia young heavenly king Jay says: "My music is 100%, acting 65%!"
Yesterday night, under the arrangements of Shao organisation, while Director Chou appeared at the premiere of the new movie "Hidden Track" in Hong Kong, on the way in the car from arriving in Hong Kong from Taiwan, we interviewed him on long distance call for a rare 11 minutes.
Talking about the movie that uses his name "Searching For Jay Chou/Hidden Track", Director Chou said without concealing anything that this maiden movie gave him ticket pressure, he sighed saying "Now the economy is not too good", but after he finished saying that, he immediately added "But young people like to watch literature and art films, even though the name of "Hidden Track" is a bit nonsense but it has a lot of sense of freshness, the mood of the audience who watch it must be very young..."
To the fact that the movie name uses his name "Zhou Jie Lun", the cool Director Chou thought that it is the same as he using his mother's name "Ye Hui Mei" as the album name, very fun.
The first time leaping onto the silver screen, how does Jay judge his own acting? The tone of his speech was a bit ashamed: "Compared to real actors I am a lot worse, if I had to judge, my music (He especially wrote a new song for "Hidden Track", "Track/Orbit") 100%, acting only 65%!"
Where are you bad? "My performance was very awkward!" Director Chou said.
Director Chou who gave it a shot in "Hidden Track", frankly said he liked movies, talking about the role he likes, he expressed that he wants to play a pianist because he is competent in it, even though, he also really admires Jet Li's kung fu movies, but he frankly admitted that he doesn't have any real kung fu, if he had to fight for real he would take the worse of it.
According to reports, Director Chou has always wanted to invite Jet Li and Nina Li to film a music love story, yesterday night we asked him about it, Director Chou expressed that his wish is still there, it's just that he still hasn't been able to bump into Jet Li to talk about the filming plan with him.
Besides a pianist, if someone intended to get cool Director Chou to play a cool baddie role, will he consider it? He said in a tone without hesitation: "Of course I will! Been too many "good good misters", I like to play "baddies", but I've discovered my belly is getting bigger and bigger, I need to go on a diet...."
The cool Director Chou always exposes his sense of humour by accident
When asked when he was going to go to Singapore again to see his fans? Director Chou expressed: "Wait till I've recorded the new album, right now I still don't have enough songs, when I have enough songs, I'll go to Singapore to hold a concert, it might have to be summer next year..." Wah, he has to make his fans wait again!
Loses love then he'll skip school and play basketball
In the movie "Hidden Track", before Director Chou appears in the movie, he plays a boy who has lost love, he asks the female lead in the movie "What is there to eat that will make me happier? Because I've lost love!" In the movie Director Chou, tries and tries many cakes, will he eat cakes when he loses love? How many cakes did he eat when filming?
"No, when I was filming I spat the cake out!" Director Chou suddenly gave such a cool answer, giving people a startle! He further said: "Not that I don't like eating cakes, but it was because I discovered my belly was getting bigger and bigger, I need to eat less!"
In that reality, if Director Chou lost love, what would happen to him? Looking at how thin he is, he doesn't seem like the material for crazy eating....
"In the past when I was studying, losing love, I wouldn't go to lesson, but instead go play basketball (Director Chou's basketball skills are so good, can it be it has affect with his relationship failures?), playing till the end of school, then I'd go home..."
Lose love then skip lesson and play basketball, how long did you maintain this for? Director Chou said: "I'd be discovered in one or two days by mum, let her yell at me for a while...."
Before we interviewed Jay, we interviewed the female lead of "Hidden Track" Pu Pu and director Lin Ai Hua, two differently aged and differently ranked women are both Jay's fans! To this, can Jay feel this? Pu Pu revealed that Director Chou is her ideal type of man in her heart!
"Really?" Director Chou all of a sudden embarrassingly laughed: "Pu Pu is a newcomer, she is very lovable. When we were filming, I taught her to sing and talked to her, her singing voice is not bad, just that she's a bit nervous when facing me...."
"Did she really say that, I'm her ideal type of man? Then when I see her, I'll have to say "Thank you"." Maybe facing your idol, gingerly, being a fan of Jay, Pu Pu still doesn't dare to ask for an autograph from her idol.
