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.

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.
