When "Kato" Jay Chou from the "The Green Hornet" meets NBA "Little Flying Warrior" Kobe Bryant, the two are big stars in their respective industries of music and basketball, the sparks they produce together are charity sparks. Just before they filmed a soda commercial together, they sang the commercial song "Battle of Heaven and Earth", the song hasn't been released officially, but all the proceeds from the downloads online and ringtones will all go to China Hope Live to help children in poverty stricken areas.

This MV is directed by Director Chou, he organised a little basketball boy to appear in the MV and drop a basketball into the river, Director Chou sees his hurt face, he gives the autograph Kobe Bryant gave him to the kid. Director Chou said: "What I want to express is, adults should help children complete their dreams and hopes, no matter if it's playing basketball, making music or learning."

Even though Kobe Bryant didn't participate in the MV, but highlights of him and Director Chou filming the commercial was edited into the MV, the heavenly kings from East and West completed another "collaboration" across oceans.
