by kelvin@multistars - 10th January 2004Jay's curio piano worth a million exposed for the first time! Director Chou transported the famous triangular piano from as far as France to Taiwan, at the moment it is at his good friend hair stylist Dick's hair salon "HPARK", it has the gorgeously hand drawn outward appearance with the Baroque style, it has made the other two geniuses in the industry David Tao and LeeHom Wang fondle admiringly, yet it made S.H.E. shout out that it was too pretty and eye-catching, sending out the cold beauty of "you can observe it from afar but cannot play with it".
Last year when Jay had his birthday on the 18th of January, he made a wish, which was to buy a white Stanwyck triangular piano, to satisfy his beautiful dream. It was a pity that Mother Chou who is plain and honest felt that there wasn't enough room in the house to put it, criticising that a million piano is too expensive, she constantly urged her obedient son to dispel on the idea of buying the piano.
Walking through the curio market, discovers a treasure
Last year in May, Director Chou went to France Paris to film a commercial and the MV for new song "Her Eyelashes", he, who caught the hobby of collecting curios, while there was a free in filming, he took his mother and a lot of staff to a famous curio market in Paris to walk around.
When he passed a curio shop, Director Chou was immediately attracted to a "C. BERTE" curio piano, but because the price was as high as 7 figure Taiwanese dollars, Mother Chou was also scared of being cheated she didn't agree until late on.
Director Chou was not willing to give up, he constantly persuaded his mother to go and look again, after Mother Chou, who learnt arts, went to the curio shop twice and three times, she also fell in love with this piano, she finally nodded to buying it, completing her son's beautiful dream that he embraced for two years.
According to the curio shop boss, this piano is a certain French royal family's heritage, because the family became poor, they were forced to sell it, at the end it went into the market, calculating it has at least 200 years plus of history.
Waste half a year; transport it back to Taiwan by sea
In order to put Director Chou at ease, the boss made a piece of paper to prove that it was a real curio, last year in December it was transported back to Taiwan, Mother Chou especially got a professor to view it, even the professor praised this piano for it's beauty, saying: "Bargain!"
The thing that fascinates Director Chou the most is the gorgeously engraved flowers on the piano legs, the hand paintings are tinted and beautiful, even the score rack has engraved patterns, it is full of Baroque style, like a enthusiastic and beautiful girl.
This piano was only transported to Taiwan in December last year, it wasted half a year. Once it arrived it was put in Director Chou's good friend hair stylist Dick's hair salon "H PARK", David Tao and LeeHom Wang who went to the salon to do their hair was also attracted by this piano's beauty. The two were momentarily excited and played, sang, praised and sighed. The whole store was as if full of the beauty of art! Director Chou who is attentive discovered the piano was a bit bruised from the transportation, causing the notes not to be exact, he was very hurt.
Director Chou has already prepared to find a professional to repair it, he has also not rejected people in the circle who have a lot of musical talent to play it, his attitude is very generous, but S.H.E. yet shouted that they wouldn't dare touch it, they are really scared they'll break it. What if Director Chou doesn't help them write songs in the future?
