so cool!
Presenter: Hello to all web friends! Today our "Popular people going online"'s first guest Jay is already here. After a break, the chatting will begin on time.
Presenter: First of all let me invite Jay to say hello to all the web friends.
Jay: Hello all web friends! I am Jay Chou, if you have any questions please ask, I will answer them.
Web friend: Jay, what are doing in Beijing this time?
Jay: There is a special programme, there are a lot of celebrities going there to perform, I will be taking 2 songs from my new album and performing onstage.
Web friend: The One concert, you performed Dragon Fist, pretended to be a Japanese ninja, soldier, a master of basketball or terminator, vampire, which look do you like the most?
Jay: I really like one really simple look, like a school uniform playing the piano. Because it is more literary and it has more temperament.
Web friend: In the charts it was really unfair you weren't in there, what wrong is there?
Jay: Maybe I didn't sing well enough, this year I will improve a bit.
Web friend: How do you evaluate Landy Win?
Jay: I think she is a girl who can sing very well, everyone can be silent and go have a good listen to her songs. Some people's voices are natural; some people's voices are practised out. I think that her voice is natural. She will move people when she sings.
Web friend: You grew up in Taiwan, but how did you think of singing R&B? Why could you also take R&B and sing it so tunnel?
Jay: In fact R&B's culture didn't come from China. It is Western Black peoples' culture, black people's music. The simplest thing is that you don't have to pronounce very clearly. Just right for my singing style. I think that this kind of singing style will be very popular.
Web friend: People say you don't pronounce clearly, is it on purpose?
Jay: It is just like the same as when I usually talk, maybe it is a habit. I think that if you sing some songs pronouncing too clearly they would be weird.
Web friend: You singing R&B, who enlightened you on this? Which Hip-hop artist from Europe and US has had the biggest influence on you?
Jay: There were a lot of Black artists who sang R&B at the beginning, for example BOYS to MEN, etc...
Web friend: You've won so many awards, which on do you favour most?
Jay: The best producer and album, because album and producer includes all. Because my music is produced by me so that's why I favour it more.
Web friend: Is the girl you like, like the girl you sing about in the song "Lovable Woman"?
Jay: Practically, one who likes to listen to music, has a temperament and also has a bit more of the scent of a woman. Don't be too much like a boy.
Web friend: What plans have you got for the next album, don't let us wait too long.
jay: It is because of the company, it will be released slower, just about in July.
Presenter: Can you reveal this album?
Jay: This albums style is the same as in the past, maintaining the original characteristics. But it will also have some new things. It won't be 99% unchanged. But the style is the same.
Web friend: How is your illness? Are you still playing basketball often?
Jay: I haven't played basketball for a good few months.
Presenter: Why? Is it because you have too much work?
Jay: Yes, don't have time.
Web friend: Before you came out what were you doing? Can you tell us that experience?
Jay: I worked in a bar, paying the piano. I would play the songs customers in the restaurant requested.
Presenter: Did you write songs then?
Jay: Yes.
Presenter: I think you wrote songs for Jacky Wu and LeeHom Wang before you came out?
Jay: Yes.
Web friend: It's very hard to imagine you're temperament is so inward but you can write songs with such power. Is music your one and only way to express your own views of
t
he world? Do you fe
el you are someone else in the music world?
Jay: Yes, you said it very well. You took what I wanted to say and said it out.
Web friend: Most of your songs have a vigorous and unconstrained style, but only "Dad, I have come back" is written about domestic violence, why?
Jay: I wrote about some phenomenon in society to make youths pay close attention to this problem.
Presenter: How did you first think of this material?
Jay: This is a friend's story but it wasn't so tragic. I exaggerated a bit with the writing.
web friend: Are you more nervous when you see the media or the fans?
Jay: Fans.
Presenter: Why?
Jay: There are slightly more fans, the most there is of the media of 20 people. There are more of fans just there to listening to you singing, so there is slightly more pressure.
web friend: If you were to say Jolin and Landy were to represent 2 kinds of girls, which type do you like?
Jay: Speaking less is better, I like people who don't talk too much and are slightly more quiet.
Web friend: When will you hold a concert in GuangZhou?
Jay: About May to August, there will be a tour. I will come to GuangZhou.
web friend: What's your impression of Beijing? Can Beijing give you some inspiration to write songs?
Jay: Yes it can, before when I came I didn't see snowing in Beijing. Beijing's scenery is very beautiful even from my hotel room. I can write out very romantic songs because the weather is very cold so I will write out love songs that move couples. For example like saying something about the sky of Beijing.
Web friend: Will you continue to work with Vincent Fong on your next album?
Jay: Yes, I will
Presenter: Has he already written the lyrics?
Jay: Not yet, the lyrics he writes is very slow.
Web friend: How you been happy recently?
Jay: Still can.
Web friend: Which one of your songs do you like most?
Jay: Fast songs are "Nun-Chuks" and "Dragon fist". The lyrical song in my new album is called "Leave"
Web friend: What's was the most unforgettable thing when you were little?
Jay: When I was little I played basketball pretty well, so it was quite unforgettable.
Web friend: Jay, is your illness better?
Jay: Sometimes good sometimes bad. This time coming to Mainland china, my condition is quite good.
Presenter: On the 25th of January you just won the most popular artist in Taiwan in the MTV Asia awards which was held in Singapore. According to my knowledge England's Blue really admire you. When the media were interviewing they said that they liked you the most out of all the performers of the night. Can you talk about the situation of you participating in this award?
Jay: There were a lot of International artists performing, I hope to let them see a bit of China's music. Not something like R&B so I think that we still need to give them songs that are slightly more Chinese. For example like "Dragon Fist", "Nun-Chuks" making them feel it is fresher.
Presenter: Did you sing "Nun-Chuks" on that night?
Jay: It was 2 songs mixed together.
Web friend: Have you received the presents from Chinese website and fans from all over the world?
Jay: I've received them.
Web friend: I hear that you've released a biography, is it true?
Jay: No. Released a photo album.
Web friend: In the future will you change your music style?
Jay: No.
Web friend: Why?
Jay: Not changing my style I can represent my own characteristic. If everyone changed then they would all be the same.
Web friend: Do you admire Tayu Lo?
Jay: Really like him, he belongs to his own era. In that time he was a writer who brought about many new ideas, musician and he dared to speak. He wrote about some real society situations. The lyrics were also very sharp. He is a teacher that I admire very much.
Web friend: What do you think is the reason for your rapid success? Is it music or lyrics or other things?
Jay: Music, music and lyrics matching. Lyrics written slightly common, write about some things th
at other people are not too
ob
servant of will attract some youths.
Web friend: We really ardently love Vincent Fong. Please ask how he is in place of us, what has he been busy with recently?
Jay: Busy writing songs.
Web friend: What expectations have you got of this year's Gold song award?
Jay: Hope that I can get the same awards I won last year, it is writing songs, producer and best album.
Web friend: Have you been to Chinese Jay website?
Jay: I've been.
Web friend: Have you thought about starring in movies or TV dramas? For example Idol dramas?
Jay: Haven't thought about TV dramas, movies yes, I have my own idea of writing scripts.
Web friend: Why do you not have ideas towards TV dramas.
Jay: Too flooded.
web friend: We think that David Tao is irreplaceable, what do you think of David Tao?
Jay: I think that he is an artist that can really sing because we both make Chinese music. He is a musician that has a lot of ideas. I think that we shouldn't compare music because after all it is not a competition.
Web friend: The One concert, you invited David Tao to be the guest star, right? In Mainland China?
Jay: I hope to do something different in every session of my concerts.
Web friend: If you wrote a TV drama script, what kind of story do you hope to write?
Jay: Slightly more national characteristics, not a modern drama, some "Hero", "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger", this kind of feeling.
Web friend: Which place do you think you are most different to the other artists?
Jay: I don't pronounce clearly when I sing.
Web friend: How do you evaluate Elva and Stef Sun?
Jay: I feel Elva is slightly more lively, Stef Sun is more like a musician. She will compose. So the two's styles are very different.
web friend: I think that "End Of the World" has been sung by many artists, how do you feel?
Jay: I think it is really good. At that time when I wrote this song it was not for me to sing. Now it is sung by other people, I feel to a writer it is a good thing.
Web friend: Which basketball star do you like? Do you like Yao Ming?
Jay: I think he is great. No matter who it is as long as he is fighting for pride of Chinese people. Doing something that foreigners think is really good then it is good.
Web friend: There's been news that the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) Show isn't letting you participate and it is because you don't pronounce clearly, what do you think about this question?
Jay: This is true.
Web friend: Do you plan to try different musical styles?
Jay: Yes, but sometimes when you change the musical style too much, then it is not too much like me. I think that maintaining my own style is slightly more important.
Web friend: The diary of Jay on the net is written by you, right?
Jay: My messages will have my own Chinese name. I will be in a's website. As long as you can see this word that is slightly ugly then it is written by me.
Web friend: You were the big winner in last year's Gold song award. Then this year how do you feel about facing "Black Tangerine"?
Jay: I care about this concert album, hope I can have it 3 in a row.
Web friend: How long do you think the R&B upsurge will last?
Jay: I think it will last a bit longer, maybe everyone's album will have one or two R&B things. But it will not become very popular. Some people can, some people cannot.
Web friend: Do you know, foreigners will sing your' "Nun-Chuks"?
Jay: Didn't know. (Smiling)
Web friend: I hear that you like Jet Lee. Have you seen the movie he stars in "Hero"?
Jay: Seen it. No matter what he plays, I think it is really good.
Web friend: Jonathan Lee once said in an interview that this type, R&B right now there are a lot of people doing it. But it is not Chinese peoples' own thing. So what if it's popular? There are a lot kids who play it well in LA. I can't remember his exact words but it was mostly this, what do you think?
Jay: So that's why I wrote "Dragon Fist" and "Nun-Chuks".
Web friend:
Why did you do a commercial for Panasonic mobile?
J
ay: Because after I filmed a commercial in Taiwan, that's why the people over at Mainland China's side said you should sign a contract together.
Web friend: Do you know that right now each record company is pushing their newcomers and not just that but there's some that have imitations of you. For example, Warner Music Mainland China's Jue Wang and also Anson Hu, what do you think?
Jay: I think they are good.
Presenter: Do you think they will surpass you? Becoming a threat to you?
Jay: I think that music, I will not talk about other people's challenge. I think that challenging myself is more important. To the market, if it is R&B style everyone likes so that's why there's a lot people singing it. There's a lot of people who can sing it well. I think that original creativity is enough.
Web friend: Some people say that after "Nun-Chuks" you haven't made any break through, what do you think?
Jay: Changing styles but the sales goes down, that is a break through. Style doesn't change but sales are even better, that is what I want. I think that my own definition of break through is maintaining current situation.
Web friend: Has there been fans that have made moved you a lot?
Jay: There's many, some kids in the hospital, that is when I was fighting with my illness they listened to my songs. I think that this is a very gratified thing. Wonder if my songs helped, but I hope that the result is a calm result. That's why I think that music is like a kind of medicine. It is the treatment for your spirit.
Web friend: Who do you think is more handsome between you and Jacky Wu?
Jay: Should be him, He is slightly more mature. I think that having an individual character is more important.
Web friend: Do you have any interest in working with Mainland China's musicians? For example like Zhang Yadong, Xiao Ke and Bruce Lee or maybe foreign musicians?
Jay: I hope to work with writers, the people you have just mentioned are writers. I think that we can perform on the same stage or write a song. Let an artist annotate a different style because I have never worked with other people before so I really look forward to working with a writer from Mainland China.
Web friend: How long did it take you to complete the fastest song? Which one is it?
Jay: The fastest was a day to complete, in fact I think that the songs in my album's speed is very fast. If I had feeling, one day I could write 1 to 2 songs.
Web friend: Where does your inspiration to compose come from? Is it thought out by yourself?
Jay: Sometimes I watch films to stimulate a bit, have a look at some common things and see if I have any feeling. Only then can you move other people.
Web friend: Presenter: Can you use an example from your next album, for example like which film were you watching, or listened to a certain person's certain thing. Then immediately wrote it down.
Jay: I search for material that other people have not written about. I have seen a film that has to do with sports. This person was always rigid in sports, I think that it is hard for there to be people to take this material and write a song. I think that this is a challenge. Continuing "Bullfight" that I sang before. I think that this song has got something to do with sports.
Web friend: If you didn't enter the New King contest, didn't become an artist, what would you be doing?
Jay: Piano teacher.
Web friend: If one day you met a person with a lot of brilliance, like you and if he/she wasn't discovered, what would you do?
Jay: I would help him/her.
Web friend: Talk a bit about your impression of Yundi Li?
Web friend: Just like before when I was talking about Yao Ming, Jet Lee, these types. They belong to the hero type, one era. He is Chinese peoples' pride. I really like him.
Web friend: I go to school abroad, I want to ask if you are going to hold another concert abroad, like Australia?
Jay: In March should be in Canada, still haven't decided on Austral
ia.
Web friend: Since you have come out these coupl
e of years, compa
red to those years when you wrote songs and lyrics in the background, what have you gained and what have you lost?
Jay: I have gained recognition, that is recognition towards music. In the background you hope to gain recognition. But nobody knows I wrote them or is sung by me. I think that the things I have gained and the things I have lost, right now I think that the things I have gained are good and what can I do about the things I have lost, I think that myself is more important.
Web friend: Do you like to smile normally?
Jay: Normally smiling it is easy to be considered an idiot by people.
Web friend: Right now you are becoming more and more popular, more and more hot but the chances for us fans to get close to you is getting smaller and smaller, harder and harder.
Jay: I think it is still good. I will not because of whether I am hot or not go to manage to see my fans. or speaking with fans. For example on the net I will talk about my recent events. Coming to Mainland China, in fact there are a lot of promotions. Will not because of how to see my fans, in fact it is very easy to see me.
Web friend: Like in Taiwan for example going to eat a bowl of Beef noodles I will not limit my own freedom.
Web friend: I hear that you have written a song for the company's newcomer called You Ai Di, is it a rock song? What is it?
Jay: I don't write many rock songs I will help artists write a song that is tailored for them. He is more suited to singing high songs. He has individual character. This song is more Chinese ancient style. When you listen to it you will think of the church and Western colour.
Web friend: To do with this time's Mainland China concert, You will have some new looks, new dance routines, what have you designed?
Jay: This time's concert, songs will be changed a little, it will be different to Taiwan and Hong Kong. It should add points. Because with my own experience I know where it is definite. I will slowly change until it is perfect.
Web friend: In the MTV awards your performance was very good, not only this but you showed off Chinese music in front of many foreign artists. At that time impressions did you have, were you really nervous?
Jay: After "Nun-Chuks" I felt I was really good.
web friend: Your individual character is very unique, but will you develop and change your individual character?
Jay: When I am acting, not like what I would do. Normally, I am the same as on TV.
Web friend: Do you hope to see your fans going crazy or having connotation.
Jay: Have to have.
Web friend: Why does "Split" have to be changed to "Leave" in Mainland China?
Jay: Because it is quite sensitive.
Web friend: Why haven't you worn your caps recently? I have bought many.
Jay: Give me some. (Smiling)
Web friend: What presents do you hope your fans will give you?
Jay: Applause, learn my lyrics and we can sing together in the concert.
Web friend: Apart from writing songs for Jiang Hui and RuiEn recently, have you written for anyone else?
Jay: No.
Web friend: Who do you think is better, you or Vincent Fong?
Jay: Him. I think that the important thing about lyrics is the contents, just that it's spirit, eve if someone is born beautiful if they didn't have a personality it is useless. So I think that songs, after I have written them very perfectly, the lyrics of course have to have a challenging feeling, not only this but the contents must be fresh. That's why I think he is a spirit person.
Presenter: Just before a lot of web friends were talking about the same thing, that is wishing you to have a happy new year, to be healthy in the new year. Time's nearly up, please Jay will you say a bit more to the fans.
Jay: All web friends, in the Spring Festival, I hope that you all are healthy, make good use of your red wallets. Don't spend it all. But you should buy or need to buy, need to be good to your parents, listen to Jay's music. Happy new Year.
Presen

s participation. We wish Jay's n
ew album to be successful, the concert in Mainland China to be successful. Apart from this, web friends please do not go, Landy will be here shortly, web friends please pay close attention.

ay: Because after I filmed a commercial in Taiwan, that's why the people over at Mainland China's side said you should sign a contract together.
Web friend: Do you know that right now each record company is pushing their newcomers and not just that but there's some that have imitations of you. For example, Warner Music Mainland China's Jue Wang and also Anson Hu, what do you think?
Jay: I think they are good.
Presenter: Do you think they will surpass you? Becoming a threat to you?
Jay: I think that music, I will not talk about other people's challenge. I think that challenging myself is more important. To the market, if it is R&B style everyone likes so that's why there's a lot people singing it. There's a lot of people who can sing it well. I think that original creativity is enough.
Web friend: Some people say that after "Nun-Chuks" you haven't made any break through, what do you think?
Jay: Changing styles but the sales goes down, that is a break through. Style doesn't change but sales are even better, that is what I want. I think that my own definition of break through is maintaining current situation.
Web friend: Has there been fans that have made moved you a lot?
Jay: There's many, some kids in the hospital, that is when I was fighting with my illness they listened to my songs. I think that this is a very gratified thing. Wonder if my songs helped, but I hope that the result is a calm result. That's why I think that music is like a kind of medicine. It is the treatment for your spirit.
Web friend: Who do you think is more handsome between you and Jacky Wu?
Jay: Should be him, He is slightly more mature. I think that having an individual character is more important.
Web friend: Do you have any interest in working with Mainland China's musicians? For example like Zhang Yadong, Xiao Ke and Bruce Lee or maybe foreign musicians?
Jay: I hope to work with writers, the people you have just mentioned are writers. I think that we can perform on the same stage or write a song. Let an artist annotate a different style because I have never worked with other people before so I really look forward to working with a writer from Mainland China.
Web friend: How long did it take you to complete the fastest song? Which one is it?
Jay: The fastest was a day to complete, in fact I think that the songs in my album's speed is very fast. If I had feeling, one day I could write 1 to 2 songs.
Web friend: Where does your inspiration to compose come from? Is it thought out by yourself?
Jay: Sometimes I watch films to stimulate a bit, have a look at some common things and see if I have any feeling. Only then can you move other people.
Web friend: Presenter: Can you use an example from your next album, for example like which film were you watching, or listened to a certain person's certain thing. Then immediately wrote it down.
Jay: I search for material that other people have not written about. I have seen a film that has to do with sports. This person was always rigid in sports, I think that it is hard for there to be people to take this material and write a song. I think that this is a challenge. Continuing "Bullfight" that I sang before. I think that this song has got something to do with sports.
Web friend: If you didn't enter the New King contest, didn't become an artist, what would you be doing?
Jay: Piano teacher.
Web friend: If one day you met a person with a lot of brilliance, like you and if he/she wasn't discovered, what would you do?
Jay: I would help him/her.
Web friend: Talk a bit about your impression of Yundi Li?
Web friend: Just like before when I was talking about Yao Ming, Jet Lee, these types. They belong to the hero type, one era. He is Chinese peoples' pride. I really like him.
Web friend: I go to school abroad, I want to ask if you are going to hold another concert abroad, like Australia?
Jay: In March should be in Canada, still haven't decided on Austral
ia.
Web friend: Since you have come out these coupl
e of years, compa
red to those years when you wrote songs and lyrics in the background, what have you gained and what have you lost?
Jay: I have gained recognition, that is recognition towards music. In the background you hope to gain recognition. But nobody knows I wrote them or is sung by me. I think that the things I have gained and the things I have lost, right now I think that the things I have gained are good and what can I do about the things I have lost, I think that myself is more important.
Web friend: Do you like to smile normally?
Jay: Normally smiling it is easy to be considered an idiot by people.
Web friend: Right now you are becoming more and more popular, more and more hot but the chances for us fans to get close to you is getting smaller and smaller, harder and harder.
Jay: I think it is still good. I will not because of whether I am hot or not go to manage to see my fans. or speaking with fans. For example on the net I will talk about my recent events. Coming to Mainland China, in fact there are a lot of promotions. Will not because of how to see my fans, in fact it is very easy to see me.
Web friend: Like in Taiwan for example going to eat a bowl of Beef noodles I will not limit my own freedom.
Web friend: I hear that you have written a song for the company's newcomer called You Ai Di, is it a rock song? What is it?
Jay: I don't write many rock songs I will help artists write a song that is tailored for them. He is more suited to singing high songs. He has individual character. This song is more Chinese ancient style. When you listen to it you will think of the church and Western colour.
Web friend: To do with this time's Mainland China concert, You will have some new looks, new dance routines, what have you designed?
Jay: This time's concert, songs will be changed a little, it will be different to Taiwan and Hong Kong. It should add points. Because with my own experience I know where it is definite. I will slowly change until it is perfect.
Web friend: In the MTV awards your performance was very good, not only this but you showed off Chinese music in front of many foreign artists. At that time impressions did you have, were you really nervous?
Jay: After "Nun-Chuks" I felt I was really good.
web friend: Your individual character is very unique, but will you develop and change your individual character?
Jay: When I am acting, not like what I would do. Normally, I am the same as on TV.
Web friend: Do you hope to see your fans going crazy or having connotation.
Jay: Have to have.
Web friend: Why does "Split" have to be changed to "Leave" in Mainland China?
Jay: Because it is quite sensitive.
Web friend: Why haven't you worn your caps recently? I have bought many.
Jay: Give me some. (Smiling)
Web friend: What presents do you hope your fans will give you?
Jay: Applause, learn my lyrics and we can sing together in the concert.
Web friend: Apart from writing songs for Jiang Hui and RuiEn recently, have you written for anyone else?
Jay: No.
Web friend: Who do you think is better, you or Vincent Fong?
Jay: Him. I think that the important thing about lyrics is the contents, just that it's spirit, eve if someone is born beautiful if they didn't have a personality it is useless. So I think that songs, after I have written them very perfectly, the lyrics of course have to have a challenging feeling, not only this but the contents must be fresh. That's why I think he is a spirit person.
Presenter: Just before a lot of web friends were talking about the same thing, that is wishing you to have a happy new year, to be healthy in the new year. Time's nearly up, please Jay will you say a bit more to the fans.
Jay: All web friends, in the Spring Festival, I hope that you all are healthy, make good use of your red wallets. Don't spend it all. But you should buy or need to buy, need to be good to your parents, listen to Jay's music. Happy new Year.
