163"When I registered for a chance to be in The Green Hornet, none of those Americans knew me." In recent days reporters interviewed Jay Chou to listen to his story about his motivation to film "The Green Hornet" and the whole process of being "selected". Jay Chou expressed, he hopes to use movies to raise his profile in the West, his final dream is to become so famous he can bring his music over to America's Western market.
In Hollywood, no one knows who Jay Chou is. "I'm like an ordinary person, like others I did the whole registration, interview and screen test", Jay Chou said: "Those Americans didn't know who I was, all they saw was in my basic history it said that I had experience in starring in an action movie once. Afterwards they wanted me to do an interview so I did the interview with them in a long distance video conference. I especially got the staff at the company to set up the camera in a very big office, with my arms cross over my chest, I sat in front of the camera, I put on a very cool and high class face." Jay Chou said, during the interview process, he deliberately didn't speak much, "Later on unexpectedly they thought I was a kung fu star." After getting through the interview, they requested Jay Chou go to America to do a screen test, "When I got to the screen test they still didn't know who I was."
With an "utterly fearless" attitude, Jay Chou successfully passed the screen test for "The Green Hornet". "Right now I especially hope this movie sells well, if it's like this lots of audiences in the West will know about me. But what I hope for is actually that through movies I can raise my profile, at the end I can bring my Chinese music over to America and to the audiences in the West."
