Jay Chou sing for Jet Li movie Ocean Heaven

The song chosen to be the theme song for Jet Li's movie is Say Goodbye from Jay's The Era album. I love that song a lot, one of the best songs in the album and probably one of my favorite of his songs ever. About the film, it's quite surprising to see Jet Li portray a role where he's not kicking ass or something. He should do serious roles like this once in awhile you know. You're never a real actor if you just do action movies. 

Here's the music video of the song featuring some clips from the movie. 



BEIJING, May 29 -- Jay Chou, Taiwan's pop king, will sing the theme song for Jet Li's new movie "Ocean Heaven." It will be their second collaboration since Chou sang for Li's 2006 movie "Fearless." Guey Lunmei, Taiwan's star and leading actress in the movie will also sing for the movie.

Dubbed as Jet Li's first non-action work in his career, the movie tells a touching story between a father and his only son. When the father finds out that he is terminally ill, he decides to teach his only son, who is autistic, to live on his own.

Though viewed as a non-mainstream piece, it has attracted a group of big names to take part, including Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi and award-winning cinematographer Christopher Doyle.
