Even the international known star, Jet Li, puts his thumbs up for Jay Chou's ability to direct MVs. Jet Li made a promise to the public that he would like to try acting in Jay's MV for free. This made Pres Chou, who boasts a lot, extremely happy and unable to hide the excitement in his eyes. He embarrassingly said, "I probably won't be able to do it!" Yesterday (6), the movie "Fearless" held its theme song release session in Hong Kong. Jet Li, Jay Chou "Double J" was onstage together again. They attracted a large group of media to interview them. The movie company even set it up so that the two people exchanged their martial arts book and music book to signify the combination of music and martial arts.

This is Jay Chou's second time meeting his idol Jet Li. The record company expressed, "when we first heard that the movie company wanted to have him work with Jet Li, Pres Chou impatiently rushed the staff 'to go talk about it ASAP.' Pres Chou usually goofs off and wastes time prior attending events. This time, in order to keep his idol from waiting for him, he was tidying up his appearance aggressively before the press conference." Not only that, Pres Chou who usually says things like "diao-la, Pi-la (the meaning is similar to BS)" acted like an obedient child (it is rare for Jay to act like this) as he sat by Jet Li at yesterday's press conference. Jay even paid special attention to the way he talked and acted and kept saying that he needs to learn his idol's modesty.

How much does Pres Chou love Jet Li? Not only did Pres Chou write the theme song for "Fearless," he even did something unprecedent -- he pretended to be a girl (made his the pitch of his voice like a girl) and sang really high notes in Fearless (the song). He obviously directed the MV himself. Besides editing the movie scenes, based on what we know, Pres Chou even designed many of the exciting contents. But Alfa refused to confirm this and told everyone that they will see it after they wait for a few days.

Jet Li is also happy in being able to work with Jay Chou. "I just want to transmit some positive views of life and influence even more young people through Jay Chou's music." Jet Li made fun of himself in being an idiot in music and jokingly said, "Jay Chou's singing speed is faster than my punch." This vividly describes his views of Jay Chou's music.

In having a chance to write a song for Jet Li's movie, Jay Chou said, "I felt lots of pressure and was even more nervous than making music for myself, but I suppose it's considered a sweet type of burden." Having a chance to work with his idol, he said, "It must be the best New Years present this year." Jet Li who has publicly promised that he will not act in another martial arts movie hopes to not be overburdened in his future works. He said that after seeing Pres Chou, who directed the MV for the theme song for "Fearless," "I see a rare type of ambition in him that someone my age doesn't have. I hope to act in one of Jay Chou's MVs if I have a chance, that is if he doesn't think I'm too old."

well, if you actually get to understand Jay Chou better- he is not acting cool and lang ying" all the time.
It's his personality- he's the quiet type.
I remember he did an interview once with Jade Starbiz, and he said that he was actually the one that doesn't want to talk to like make mistakes- Because he belives the more you talk- the more mistakes you make. '

So true, u can tell from the first day that he is a shy guy during interviews and always seem nervous sometimes in big open events. Watch his gestures and u can sometime pick out signs of being nervous (nervous coughs, touching nose, puts his head down). he is the quite type and tends not to talk much to avoid mistakes but this has caused many to think that he is Lang Ying and acting cool.

Anyways, back to the topic.... this song is gonna rock, too bad its released on EP with very limited songs

[lilbluehorse]

I like Jay Chao. He is a good composer. Its good that Jet Li gets chance to work with him.

[yyian]

wonder how the song sounds like...jay pretended as a girl to sing high notes??? hahahaa~

[alc17]

some more promo for fearless. only hope is a good one. jet li need a good flick.

Awww...that's cute. But I'm not that surprised, since he has appeared less "cool" than his image on various talk show appearances before, especially when his friends like Xiaozhu are on.

[J*MV]

this new jet li movie should be great
am curious to what the theme song would be like...

[kingofhearts]

This movie is pretty hyped up but i think it should be good because Jet Li is going back to old school style martial arts from where he became famous with ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA

Lukcy for Jay to be able to cooperate with his idol

[jylok1]

i saw this news on the tv yesterday as well.....Jay was smiling nonstop being able to work wif Jet Li.....

[kiwi3]

Wow! Jet Li in a MV??? That would be very interesting to see!! I am a huge fan of both Jet li and Jay Chou! It would be something new to see Jet Li in, and I love Jay chou! His songs are soo good, and i think he is an awesome singer. Too bad this will be Jet li's last movie, that's what i heard.

[Sukachu]

Jet Li in Jay Chou's mv? Sounds interesting, want to see that mv.

Jet must be happy with the song Jay wrote for his new movie .

[kmingy]

[andyb_04]

That's so cute! It's always nice to see that idols have their own idols. I can't wait to see Jet Li's new movie. I still remember him in Shaolin Temple. I think he was only 17 then...

here's the trailer for Fearless:

[judyiscool]

i think thats a cool collaboration. chinese rapper and a famous martial arts actor. i wonder what that results in

[GallantNite]

wow Jet Li and Jay Chou together never saw that coming! wonder who jackie chan is going to be with lol!

[chanckl]

this is a very intersting combination, but really new and intersting, jay chow sounded really cute in the article, i guess, it's right when they say there is always a kid inside everyone ...Jet Li is awesome, i love watching all his movies, and he seems like such a modest guy, which makes him even better...

[Phish]

It was very cool during the conference when Jet Li said its his honor to be in Jays Music video in front of the press, jay replied "Really?" to him and Jet li even said to him he will do it for free.

[lilbabychik819]

for the mv is that song on his cd?? i dont remember hearing it.. n unleashed? wat is that for?? because his american movie isover

[Icetea]

It's quite a fresh idea to have Jet Li really appear in one of Jay's MVs. Jet is such a great role model.
