Jay Chou plays his first lead role in delivering tofu
by kelvin@multistars - 1st January 2004Jay will officially film "Initial D" in March of this year, yesterday the director Tsui Hark officially revealed to the reporters that Jay has already signed a contract; he is going to play the poor kid who sells tofu Takumi Fujiwara, he will be competing acting skills with Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and Anthony Wong, etc...
Choosing Jay, apart from considering his power of pulling in the audience, the main factor was: "I think that he himself is just like that poor kid who delivers tofu! At the start I was still undecided, after I chatted with them, I felt that my selection was right." Jay and Edison have already seen this comic and they really like it, even Jay thinks he is just like that poor kid. Even though on the surface Jay doesn't seem to be very good with words, and he has also said that he is not the best at acting, but director Tsui Hark is not worried at all about the problem of his acting: "It doesn't matter, as long as he is like him then it's fine!" Jay promising to play in his first movie "Initial D" was all completely because he was moved by Tsui Hark's sincerity. According to media reports, Jay is playing in this movie for HK$4,000,000.
According to reports, in March this year, Tsui Hark will lead Jay, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and Anthony Wong to Japan to film this movie. They have decided the female star will be a Korean film star. The late period production will be finished in Japan.
