Thursday July 13, 2006 China After showing off his acting skills in the filming process of the “Golden Armour” and winning praises, Jay Chou will continue to contribute his musical talent to the film. It was reported yesterday (12th July), that Jay Chou will be composing and performing the ending theme for Zhang Yimou’s new film, “The City of Golden Armour”. As to the main theme of the film, he would have to compete with the experienced Mei Lin Mao. The final decision will lie (as to who’ll perform the theme song), in Zhang Yimou. “We’ve all seen and heard the demo Jay Chou written for us for the film, it’s very good, and I’m sure he’ll have a lot of feelings (into the entire project), after all, this is something that he is involved in, (both on and off the screen)” said the film’s producer Zhang Wei Ping. Pres Chou is now currently hard at work (writing the music for the main theme), “The director placed no restrictions on him, he (Jay) should be very clear what the nature of the ‘Golden Armour’ is like. This will give Jay the freedom to express his music.” However, the main theme of the “Golden Armour” is still a very important element to the film; one that Zhang Yimou will not take the decision lightly. It is revealed that he has already approached Mei Lin Mao and Jay Chou for their help. Both of them are working separately on the composition of the theme song, and will present to the director. The final decision will lie with Zhang Yimou. credits: jaycn.com, jay-chou.net, asianfanatics.
