Jay Chou plays a hero and rescues Jiang Yu Chen in MV
by kelvin@multistars - 4th December 2007Source: UDN
Jay Chou personally directed the MV for "The Longest Movie", he invited Jiang Yu Chen, who was once rumoured to be his girlfriend, to be the female lead. The level of the "hero rescuing the beauty" is close to the "Step Back" MV he filmed with Hebe.
The song is only a short 4 minutes, but Jay Chou has movie experience and so filmed the MV into a movie structure, he always likes to pull his relatives and friends into the MV, this time he got his makeup artist, junior high classmates and colleagues to be extras, the female lead is Jiang Yu Chen who sang in the "Secret" OST. The two play young lovers, yet fate plays a joke on them, separating them far apart. In the previous album Jay Chou got Hebe to film the MV for "Step Back", at the time this became the "evidence" for the two's rumour.
The locations for the MV include Shi Men Primary School, Sanzhi seaside, the record company, the car park, the street, the Taipei Ice Sports Arena, from early morning they filmed till the morning of the next day. It was so cold in the arena it made people sneeze, yet Jay Chou tried to skate on the ice, besides complaining, he said: "It's super cold in the arena, tomorrow I have to fly to Shanghai to hold my concert, really! Why does the company have to torture people like this? Whose company? My own company."
It's his own company, his own MV, Jay Chou doesn't go soft on spending, the brand cars worth millions he rented needed to have the windows smashed due to the script, the two pieces of glass cost 120,000 yuan; the little wooden house by the seaside cost over a million to build, all this background had to be taken down after filming.
Also, Jay Chou's world tour Japanese stop will be opening on the 16th of February next year at the Budokan, the tickets went on sale on the 1st of December and was sold out on the day, even the organisers were surprised by Jay Chou's power, in response to the fans' strong request, they announced an addition performance on the 17th.
