Being the heavenly king in Taiwan Jay Chou is even interviewed by the international media, but a few days ago when he accepted the interview of America's CNN, Jay Chou said frankly: "I practically couldn't understand a thing!" Despite his past rumoured girlfriends having good language skills, but he's not good at all, he'll happily have "bad English", and speak his own native language, Jay Chou still has confidence he can become popular overseas.
About his interview with CNN yesterday, Jay Chou was very honest, he said: "They talked in English, and talked really fast, I practically couldn't understand a thing." He couldn't answer directly, Jay Chou still thought that the translation didn't convey his complete meaning, he asked worriedly: "I said a lot, but the translation was only a few lines, I'm really scared they've heard but not understood." Even though he's not good at English, but Jay Chou said: "It was still very diao, it was in my own territory, I did the interview with CNN in my own restaurant."
In the past there have been Italian reporters interviewing Jay Chou in English, Jay Chou, who has supreme confidence in music, laughed saying his English is only junior high level, for the whole interview he only said "Thank you", even though when he went to Japan for his concert he showed a bit of Japanese, in his album he's tried Thai, but Jay Chou hasn't gotten used to English, he said: "English is hard to learn, it's enough to find a good translator."
Yesterday Jay Chou attended an event for a soft drink he's spokesperson for, when faced with the hot bikini girls, he kept his eyes to the front, and deliberately distanced himself, he was happier when interacting with the fans with the surf board.
