Jay Chou kicks Edison Chen out the way and pockets $HK10 million
by kelvin@multistars - 21st August 2004Jay and Edison Chen are advancing into Japan with the film "Initial D", the two fight from within the movie to outside the movie, recently Jay, with his healthy image, kicked out of the way Edison Chen to get nearly ten million pay and become the spokesperson of a Japanese makeup brand.
Japanese well-known makeup brand DHC initially found Edison Chen, who is handsome and understands a bit of Japanese, to become the first spokesperson for the product, and to also advance into the Hong Kong market for the product.
It's a pity that the Japanese commercial company found out afterwards that Edison has many rumours in Hong Kong, his image is rebellious, in order not to affect the image of the product, and the commercial company immediately gave up on the idea of using Edison. They turned to a healthy image and talent; they went after Jay who plays the lead male role. Due to the fact the commercial suddenly changed person, the time was tight, the high level people from DHC went to the scenes they filming of the movie at and talked to Jay about the collaboration details, at the end they finally invited Jay to be the spokesperson for HK$8,000,000.
Jay who is getting nearly ten million, apart from filming the commercial for the product, he is also personally writing and singing the theme song for the commercial. The reporters called the responsible person from DHC Winnie to check but they still haven't received a reply when this was written.
