周杰倫（Jay）、蔡依林（Jolin）這對音樂鴛鴦，是去年唱片銷售市場的大贏家，締造了「雙J神話」， 如今更傳出Jay幫Jolin寫歌價碼打折的溫馨插曲。不過，最新出爐的「Hit Fm百首單曲票選」結果，原本唱片市場雙J天下的狀況，硬生生被孫燕姿破局！
Jay, Jolin, the partner in music, was both winner from last year's record fo selling. This has caused a 'double J legend' Now it is heard that Jay will write song for Jolin for a discounted price. But the newest "Hit FM singles chart", the music industry, which belongs to double J, is beaten by Stef Sun.

Jay與Jolin在感情上從未承認對方存在，但在音樂交流上，倒是不避嫌地親密合作，包括《布拉格廣場》 、《說愛你》，都是Jay特地為Jolin量身訂做的， Jolin專輯大賣，Jay絕對功不可沒。
Jay and Jolin never admitted themselves in relationship. But close interaction in music was never avoided. Including "Prague Square", "Say love you" are all specially made for Jolin by Jay. Jolin's album selling at tops, Jay cannot be missed out.


交情不言而喻
Friendship cannot be described with words

事實上，目前正在籌備新專輯的Jolin，Jay除了大方幫忙寫歌外，還傳出「為Jolin五折不夠再打八 折」的感人插曲。話說Jay在圈內號稱「音樂才子」，要他出手寫歌，價碼自然不便宜，過去他親自操刀，與方 文山製作一首完整歌曲（詞、曲兼備）的價碼，約為十萬元，但如今卻為了Jolin，壞了自己的 行情價。
In actual fact, Jay kindly write songs for Jolin, who is now preparing for her new album. It is also rumoured that "for Jolin, if 50% off is not enough, then make it 80%!". Jay, with the name of talented musician, songs written from him is definately not cheap. In the past he wrote a full song for Vincent Fang (both lyrics and songs by Jay). The cost of the song is about 100000 NTD. But now because of Jolin, Jay is lowering himself down.

據悉，Jay目前寫歌價碼水漲船高，以「工頭皇帝」阿杜為例，Jay幫他寫


102;一首《退讓》，就要價二十萬元台幣。不過，同樣是寫歌，邀歌的人換成了Jolin，價碼就不同。過 往Jay幫Jolin做的歌曲《說愛你》，自動打了五折，只收十萬元，如今Jolin的新專輯邀歌，Jay 給的折扣更多，只收八萬，足足打了四折，兩人感情好不好，從價碼就可以窺出端倪。
In is heard that Jay's song writing price had risen. Take A-Do for example, Jay wrote "Tui Ran" for him, costing 200000 NTD. But for Jolin, Jay wrote "Say love you" and automatically 50% off and only took 100000NTD. Now Jolin's new song, Jay given more discount! only took 80000NTD. Exactly 60% off! The two's friendship can be told by price!


遇見》百首奪冠
'Yu Jian' is the top of hundreds of songs.

不過，Jay、Jolin去年在唱片市場打造的「雙J神話」，最後還是被孫燕姿破功。由Hit Fm聯播網主辦、網友投票及播歌率混合統計的「Hit Fm百首單曲票選」結果昨日出爐，Jay的《晴天》與Jolin的《說愛你》原本都是冠軍熱門，無奈最後還 是與曾與兩人傳出三角戀的孫燕姿硬生生打敗，《遇見》榮獲冠軍，Jay、Jolin僅列二、三 名。
But Jay and Jolin's "Double J legend" was broken by Stef Sun. Jay's Qing Tian and Jolin's Say Love you were tops but was beaten by Stef's Yu Jian. Jay and Jolin got 2nd and 3rd.

What discount? :shifty: Why doesn't he just hand over those songs to her for free if they're such good friends? :shifty: Discount... :hmm: Oh, I get it. It's like a clearance sale, right? Jay's dumping all those songs he doesn't like on Jolin. :shifty:

[moonsilk]

Woah....congrats to Step Sun...she has been a good singer also...
Arggghhh,why is Jay with Jolin again??
And Jay actually discounted the price of writing a song for Jolin?!?!How could it be?Jay should charge her double price instead so that Jolin will not get near him so often....
At least Jay got 2nd and is one thousand times better than Jolin!!

[Phyxius]

Oh, I get it. It's like a clearance sale, right? Jay's dumping all those songs he doesn't like on Jolin.

Haha, way to go vuns! :yeah:

I never thought writing a song can earn THAT much!! Know i realize Jay earns easy money!

[Pugwash]

Wow, very informative that Jay earns that much money writing a song! I thought it was for free to help other friends in the same industry!

Really weird how Jay goes crazy and says 80% off!

Thanks for the news!

[jaycee]

thanks for the news phyxius! dang ... even with a 60% off discount, jay still makes $80000 a song!! that just shows how in-demand jay's talents are. i knew that jay's asking price per song is around $100000 for other singers ... but never knew that he even charges jolin haha! hmmm maybe jay still likes money more than this particular friend :bleh:

[GEeChou]

dam, i guess my plan to buy a jay chou song would have to involve me being rich too...foiled again. i like the ones he's done for jolin tho, even tho i don't really like jolin.

[twi~light]

thx for the translation Phyxius!

ahh vunsin.. u speak wut we're all thinking! :) thx for giving me my grin for da day :wink2:

[Mushimushi]

Thankz for the news Phyxius!!

....well, Jay should charge more for the songs written for Jolin....so that Jay earn more money mah....
Stefanie Sun beat Jay n Jolin??....oh well, as long as Jay does better than Jolin, its fine.

[phoebe]

ha. ha. vunsin. " clearance sales " . are you remembering the article where xiao chu told jolin that jay gave her that song because he thinks it's not good enough ? maybe that's why is on discount but unfortunately ( maybe fortunately for us jay's fans ) he is such a perfectionist , jay will only produce quality work for himself and for others - but he is definitely a guy who feels very strongly on friendship and jolin is a friend .
for those who thinks jay gets alot for writing songs - remember he only got 600 per song in those pre-fame days !

[princess_xixi]

wow
that a huge discount
jay is just toooooooo nice
i wonder how jolin feels
she better appreciate it
jay make effort on every single song he writes!
but i mean
its kinda good for jay coz he will be more popular as he writes songs for many other ppl rather than himself.......

[yukiko]

yeah he gave dizcount coz jolin can't buy his song in normal prize. n if jay dun gave dizcount, jolin will flirt him. so he think he better give her dizcount. n he free from jolin
wekz jolin. i hate her.

[Fontane1212]

Why are there so many negative remarks made about Jolin here? So what if he writes songs for her at a discounted price? I think its so childlish to say bad things about Jolin just because she's good friends with Jay. We should be happy for Jay that he has found such a good friend because its not easy for artists in the music industry to develop genuine friendships.

[kahel]

Discount? :? And 50%??!!!? :wacko: Oh no, I correct myself, 60% it even rises up to 80 sometimes....

Does Jay want Jolin to sing the song he composes that much? Errr, oh yeah, they're friends...:dry:

My mind is full of explicit thoughts that I'd rather not comment on that. :dry: *big sigh*

Anyway, Thanks for the news. :happy:

[abra16]

i mean if they are really friends. it's just right to like give discounts... haha...

but jay is really rich!

[charmed_1009]

So what.........Jolin still gets awards for Shuo Ai Ni....and other songs written by Jay.......she doesn't deserve.....if awards were meant for composer....that stupid Jolin will get none!!!!!

[diazz]

人紅就是這樣哦。他也不想想當年不紅的時候.. Freaking rich leh liddat. NT100000 is like S$5000 leh. When he could earn like S$10000.. Jay choose de ppl to write 4 ah.. 瞎透了。 Always write for 惡心惡心ppl one. Haizz.. Most of them can't sing... Without his songs, which is always used as 主打歌， I doubt thier albums sell at all lah..

[xJayChoux]

What discount? That's NOTHING! I guess Jay knows Jolin doesn't get that much money...so...he lows his prices. :shifty:

Jay's writing is worth much more than that! :-x

[knock]

Is the source reliable?
If it is, why give discounts over pple like Jolin?! Urgh. And the songs he wrote for Jolin is nice. But the person who sings it is horrible! Wish he would write it for someone else though.

And, Wow! Writing songs do earn money too! In the past, i thought Jay just write it and give it to others for free. Silly me! How can tt be? composers hafe a living to make too! Haha!

[jie_jie]

thanx for the news!
:laughing: You're soo damn funny vunsin!!! i was laughing my head off when i saw ur comment! Clearance sales!! Jay is clearing "old stock" for a cheaper price. that's what the stores usually do with clothes that are out of date.

xJayChoux : yah, it mite be because jolin is kinda 'poor' so as a good friend of hers, he's trying to save her money. what a considerate thought :angel:

I din kno jay earns soooo much for composing one song. If i earn like a hundreth of what he earns a year, i'll be like filthy rich already! Plus his own album sales and now with the salary he gets for the film, Initial D, I think he would be able to support all of us in this forum!

[stephenie]

although jay and jolin still not saying that have some relationship,but their acting just show everyone what was hapening already!!!! Dang Ju Zhe Mi,Pang Guan Zhe Qing

[Evenstar]

Damn that Ayumi-wannabe :dry: ....Good thing she only got the third...I mean, she doesn't deserve it all :-x !!! It's like she's using Jay to maximize her popularity...and she almost gets her requests for free!!! Grrrr :-x ....that opportunity-takker...she had gainied millions for her songs and Jay only gets a bit of it...That's not fair!! That squirt should really pay him FULL-TIME for making that song for her...even if it involves shoving it in his mouth using Nunchuks... :oops: ...ooopsss..I didn't mean that..It's just that, that girl must've conscience..she should know when kindness becomes exaggerated so as to accept it just like that.... :dry:

YES, WHERE IS THE PROOF!?

Yu Le Xing Wen doesn't usually lie though... USUALLY.

[moonsilk]

Its not their acts that shows that they are a couple my dear...its the media who exaggerates their relationship and create rumours about them...
Who wants Jay to be with that woman?@?

Chun li, i agree that the person singing is horrible and er xing....hahaha....
Or maybe Jolin pleaded Jay for the discounts...who knows?!?

[retrobaby]

i just read from a magazine that this song is called 就是愛 (it is love)

[Serendipity]

What a bummer... would they stop this Jay & Gross-Nostrils thing already! It has been on like... FOREVER!
Anyway, even if this is true, I'm sure Jay won't brag about anything like that. He wrote off alot of money from Jacky Wu in a previous incident and didn't breathe a word about it. It was Jacky Wu who thanked him openly.
I have a feeling it's that woman's PR trying to do some sales boosting. Cos we all know how easily forgotten she is! She NEEDS Jay to stay in the news!!!
Pathetic.

As for why... I don't think it's that difficult to get a favour like that from Jay. Besides, it maybe Jay's manager liasing with her manager, NOT Jay and her.

[jmin13]

thanx for the news :)
congraulations to step to get the to the top..actually dun understand why Jay will wan to lower down the amount to Jolin..maybe Jolin too poor n go begging at Jay..haha...i onli can convince myself to tis..but Jay oso earn alot juz by writting n composing songs..heez..

[Shari Fantasy]

Oh. My. God. So much? I suppose it has a lot to do with his fame... But Stef Sun?! Yu Jian isn't THAT good. Or is it? Anyway, it's really great news for Jay. I mean, he probably has more money than my mother, father and all other family relations still living does. That's cool. But it's only a speculation. My aunt DOES live in a bungalow. And my other aunt lives in a condo... In Singapore. Whatever. I still thik he's really rich. Gooooooo, Jay!!
