There are two important updates about His Royal Diaoness to share.
I have to clarify that the statements below were erroneously written but totally unintentionally at the time.
As such, I'm cancelling them out.
Jay did NOT win the APFF Award for Best Movie Music.
Fyi.
As for Jay and Yuxun, they were at a concert with other Taiwanese artistes were in China for a concert viz Dreams Come True on 14 December.
I think it was in aid of either kids with special needs or other illnesses and Jay expressed his empathy for them as he, too has a chronic medical condition (ankylosing spondylitis) which afflicted him in his late teens.
He sang Snail, one of his most uplifting songs:
Dandelion's Promise:
Dao Xiang:
Qing Hua Ci:
All in, it was a most fruitful weekend for Jay.
But I know for a fact that he has been up to more engagements which shall probably be in my next post.
Till then, let me leave you with some awesome pics of our hero. :)
Love Jay!
The APFF's nod to Jay Chou and the Rooftop make the Golden Horse judges look like a group of prejudiced critics at worst, or a bunch of clowns at best. Maybe they should have acted as props in the movie!
ReplyDeleteWatching the Rooftop again yesterday, I was struck by how vivid and uplifting the music and imagery were -- like so much else of Jay Chou's work, both sad and uplifting at the same time -- and also how much love its actors and director had lavished onto it. It deserves the APFF award. Jiayou Mr. Chou!
Hi Henry.
DeleteAbsolutely with you about the GHA jury.
I think The Rooftop was ahead of its time and they just could not accept its somewhat outrageous mix of music, comedy, action and drama.
Hi Henry.
DeleteIt is with much embarrassment that I have amended my post to reflect that Jay did not win said award.
But they still got nominated and that's good enough.
