Jay Chou provides climax to Shanghai concert, also reveals new plans for the New Year

by kelvin@multistars - 30th January 2007



The tickets for this Motorola exclusive Jay Chou performance was actually not available to the public, you had to have bought a MOTOROKR E6 and participated in the lottery to get it. The tickets for a concert like this are really not low, you can see the turnout with just a glance at the Shanghai stage, 10,000 seats practically all filled by Jay Chou fans. If you calculated it with a conservative estimate of just a 1000 yuan mobile, even if the chance of winning is 100%, this performance has helped the company he is spokesperson for earn over 10 million. The three words Zhou Jie Lun are really a gold-lettered signboard.

After the warm up from Nan Quan Mama, with the opening of the entrance at the centre of the stage, Jay Chou appears playing the piano. The most popular song of 2006 "Beyond A Thousand Miles" is the most suitable opening song. It's Jay Chou's habit that if it's not his own concert the clothing and appearance will not be as fussy. But in terms of singing, Jay Chou didn't dare to neglect it at all. The first fast song "Nun-Chuks" brought about the effect of nearly madness, and under Jay Chou singing the lyrics, the passion of everyone there burned to a boiling point.

If he didn't show off he won't be Jay Chou. At the end of the concert he showed off playing the drums and dancing, he brought about a lot of visual surprise to the audience. Jay Chou performed 8 songs, he sang for a full 90 minutes. Jay Chou, who we haven't seen for a while, proved that his charm onstage has not decreased at all. Actually since he finished promoting "Curse Of The Golden Flower", Jay Chou's exposure has fallen dramatically. And participating in this Moto concert is a hard to come by performance. Before the concert at the press conference, Jay Chou reported to the media and fans about his recent work arrangements. "Because right now I'm privately filming my own movie, not Slam Dunk...I want to be a director, I'm realising that dream right now, so the movie I'm filming right now, you might be able to see it in Summer..."

So that's why we haven't seen Jay Chou for a while, he's been busy being a director. There have already been predictions about the entertainment circle in 2007, among them the ones related to Jay Chou say that in 2007 Jay Chou's music will be affected by filming movies, directly causing him to lose his status as a heavenly king. When asked about this question, Jay Chou had a relaxed attitude, actually his plans for 2007 have already been planned a long time ago. "Because of filming movies, the preparation for new album might not have started yet, but it doesn't matter because the new album won't be out until August or September anyway...the plans for this year is that I might hold a concert a bit later in the year, about October or November, because I haven't had a concert for two years..." It seems like Jay Chou has a well thought out plan for 2007, what brilliance will he bring to the fans in 2007, we wonder?
