Seeing each other day and night, Jay Chou: Chi Ling is like a buddy


Chang Hong Channel Film and Video Company has invested 1 billion rmb into filming "Ci Ling", they spent 10 million building 4 massive sets in Wuxi, they are all important scenes in Jay Chou and Lin Chi Ling's treasure hunting, yesterday Jay Chou filmed action scenes under the scorching sun, he was only wearing a t shirt underneath his filming clothes, he revealed his muscles, he was very MAN.

Jay Chou said: "In the past I was 65kg, now I've gone up top 70kg, I don't even dare to eat starch, oh how come, I can't lose weight even if I wanted to." Actually Jay Chou is only gaining muscles, there are a lot of action scenes in "Ci Ling", as he fights his muscles increase in size, but you might not know, Jay Chou can't lift his left hand up now because he injured his muscle when doing fight scenes with wiring, he'll have to look after that well after the filming is over.

But he's been very happy filming "Ci Ling", Jay Chou did some magic for everyone there, he's improved a lot since "Secret", he said: "The hand gestures are very important so I try to learn them when I have time."

In a lot of instances, after relaxing, Jay Chou will become serious and say: "Actually my view of life, the more times goes by the more regrets you have, I watched "Departures" as recommended to me by Rou Yi (Lin Chi Ling's agent), I think a lot of things in life are out of your hands, you have to take control of the present." Jay Chou revealed, he wants to film a warm little movie like "Departures", it doesn't have to be about an encoffineer, but something that can be enlightening to life.

Jay Chou said: "After being the industry for 10 years, in the future I want to do some things outside of entertainment, give something back to society, for example my song "Fragrance of Rice", I hoped to encourage everyone not to feel down in our current economic climate." Jay Chou is this year's big winner at the GMAs in terms of nominations, but on the day of the awards, he's already agreed to hold a concert in Ji'an, he said: "If I don't go and they still give me an award, then it will show the fairness."

The director of "Ci Ling" Zhu Yan Ping expressed, "Ci Ling" is a movie made for the cast, the actress Lin Chi Ling has found her way, Taiwan is about to gain another international superstar; another actress Miao Pu has the flavour of Michelle Yeoh, she has brought a lot to the scenes.

Jay Chou expressed, in the movie he departs from Lin Chi Ling before reuniting with her later, they have the bond of growing up together. When asked his feelings towards Lin Chi Ling, he said she is like an angel, she is a very great girl, they've got along well, at the end he even used "Chang'e" (goddess of the moon) to describe her beauty.

In the past few weeks his left hand has gradually become quite sore because in the fight scenes with Will Liu he has to wear heavy weapons and it is all wired as well, he couldn't lift his hand up, he's only gotten better since seeing a doctor when he returned to Taiwan, even though the fight scenes were tough, but it was very satisfying for him.

Lin Chi Ling expressed, both her and Jay Chou are workaholics, they are passionate about work, they both have optimistic personalities, even if things are going rough they won't speak out. She thinks Jay Chou won't let himself make mistakes when doing things, he has very high demands on himself, in the collaboration this time the two are becoming more and more in tune, they are like buddies, privately they like to argue, and due to this interaction it has helped the filming progress since they have a lot of scenes together.

Lin Chi Ling said when she was filming this movie, she felt relaxed and happy, director Zhu's humour also put her into a good mood, her character has a silly personality with a bit of naughtiness, it is quite close to her real personality, she didn't forget to praise Jay Chou's fighting character as having the flavour of Bruce Lee, the two are often fighting with each other like school kids, they cheer on each other filming in a tough environment.
