A few days ago young heavenly king Jay Chou and NBA star Kobe filmed a soda commercial together, in the commercial Director Chou beats Kobe, he fearlessly dunks above him. Director Chou especially wrote a commercial song for this "Battle of Heaven and Earth", he invited Kobe to provide voicing. Kobe firstly says to Director Chou: "Do you know how to play B-ball?" Director Chou responds: "Heh! Of course!"

In the latest soda commercial, the two play basketball against each other, Kobe beats Director Chou hands down, but at the end Director Chou turns the tide, he does a Jay style move and flies over Kobe's head dunking successfully, Kobe is left shocked.

Jay Chou is gradually becoming more and more like an international super star, his Hollywood movie "The Green Hornet" has been doing well in the box office, his acting has also been acknowledged. Now he's working with Kobe. One is a genius from Asia's music industry, the other is an international basketball star, the two have produce a different sort of spark. The song they duet together "Battle of Heaven and Earth", mixes in NBA elements, netizens praised it as a new Jay style song.

But there were also netizens giving criticism to the new song saying the arrangement is better than the actual melody. Netizen nickrora stated: "The arrangement in there seems a lot like a certain song of a certain Korean group." Netizen TWFEDERER expressed: "I think this song relies on the arrangement to stand out, the melody is too similar to singles from movies, it's inevitable that it will be criticised." But loyal fans still supported Director Chou, netizen xinxinll3 said: "It's not a bad thing that the arrangement is better than the actual melody, if you give birth to a child you need to dress it well to make it look even better. I'm so proud of him, I think he's really getting closer to international." No matter the views of the netizens, Director Chou's new move has indeed successfully generated a topic.
