Jay Chou paired with Guey Lun-mei, simple love movie becomes even fresher

by kelvin@multistars - 14th February 2007

The first movie "A Secret I Cannot Tell You" directed and starred by Jay Chou, in these few days he's been at his old school Tamkang filming, Hong Kong star Anthony Wong, who plays his teacher in the movie, came to Taiwan again yesterday. The whole crew is going to be working until the day before New Year's eve, then they will take a holiday for 4 days, after that they will start work again. They hope to finish by March, then Jay Chou will immediately act in another movie "Slam Dunk".

They've been filming for over a month now, a lot of experienced crew members said that Jay Chou is really very intelligent, even though it's his first time directing, but it's getting better the more he films, he has a lot of talent and natural ability to be a director, after "A Secret I Cannot Tell You" comes out, the outside world will be able to know his strength, as for when he's filming his second movie, he absolutely won the funding through his own ability and not reliant on his idol status.

The pair of Jay Chou and Guey Lun-mei is very fresh, especially the fact that the feel of Guey Lun-mei can make the simple love that happens in middle school in the movie even more pure and with more charm. Due to the fact Jay Chou is also a young person, no matter as an actor or director he doesn't act like a big star, so he got on well with Guey Lun-mei, they both laughed saying the biggest gain from filming this movie is "making friends".

Hong Kong movie company William Kong, who invested TW$40 million in the movie, is full of confidence in Jay Chou, because of health problems he only came to Taiwan to visit the crew once, but through the "remote" of the filming editing, he discovered everything is under control by Jay Chou, so he's not worried at all. There have been rumours that William Kong who produced "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger", "Hero", "Lust, Caution", etc... has gotten attention from Taiwan's richest person Terry Guo, Terry Guo has invested a large amount of US dollars for him to film movies, so "A Secret I Cannot Tell You" may be a work of Terry Guo's "transferred investment".
