Translated from Mandarin. Interviewed by Norina Li
AsiaFinest: The Green Hornet is an action-packed movie filled with
explosions and fights, how did you prepare for you role as Kato?
Jay Chou: I did one month of training
mainly dealing with car scenes; however the most important part was practicing
English. The fights were not difficult because I practiced a lot in my
music videos.
AsiaFinest: Kato makes great coffee, good with cars and makes fighting
bad guys look so easy - are you anything like your character?
Jay Chou: Aside from coffee, I can
do all of them.
AsiaFinest: What’s your favorite car?
Jay Chou: I currently have three favorite
cars. Mercedes Benz SLR, Batmobile – just like the one in Batman
– and the last one is Black Beauty.
AsiaFinest: You and Seth Rogen have such great chemistry onscreen
- he even said in an interview that you're super cool and funny - what
was it like working with him?
Jay Chou: He’s just like the
way his character is in the movie. He’s really funny just like movie
character but he acts much dumber in the movie. He’s very smart in
reality.
AsiaFinest: Who do you think is funnier - you or Seth?
Jay Chou: I think Seth Rogen is funnier
because he always makes jokes about everything.
AsiaFinest: You had a little love interest with Cameron Diaz in
the movie - what was it like working with such a beautiful actress?
Jay Chou: Her smile is very attractive.
It’s pretty comfortable working with her. Sometimes when the media
asks me questions, Cameron would teach me some English to prepare for
press conferences.
AsiaFinest: After this movie comes out, we know that there are
going to be a lot of girl fans here in the States. What do you look for
in a girl?
Jay Chou: She must like to listen
to my music and be a fan.
AsiaFinest: Bruce Lee once played the role as Kato - how does it
feel to the one filling in his shoes?
Jay Chou: I cannot replace the way
Bruce Lee played the part, so I used my own way – and added some
music in there.
AsiaFinest: If you could be a superhero, what secret power would
you like to have?
Jay Chou: I want time traveling because
I directed [Secret] dealing with the same topic.
AsiaFinest: You have already worked with such A-list actors, who
else would you like to work with in the future?
Jay Chou: I would love to work with
Leonardo DiCaprio because I loved his movies like Inception and Shutter
Island. It would be great to be able to work with him in the near future.
AsiaFinest: You said that you want to introduce your music in the
US - any plans on an English album?
Jay Chou: It’s not in the plans
because my focus is still in Asia since my English is not good enough.
I think in the US industry, it will be easier to be in movies first. However,
I would probably include some English songs in my new album.
AsiaFinest: You're a musician, singer, producer, actor and director
- what's the next big thing for you to accomplish?
Jay Chou: The next will be a TV host
in Taiwan. It’s an interesting role, because I’ve never done
this before.
AsiaFinest: I know you’re in the middle of a world tour –
is there any plans to coming to New York City for a concert?
Jay Chou: We did it before three years
ago in Connecticut… maybe we’ll do it next year.
AsiaFinest: You have a lot of fans on AsiaFinest.com - can you
give them a little shout out?
Jay Chou: It’s sad that I don’t
get to see all my fans. The fans are my power. I hope my fans can continue
to support me. Please support my album and my movies. I will have a new
album next summer.
AsiaFinest: We look forward to the success of The Green Hornet
in January. Thank you again for talking to AsiaFinest.com.
