Director Chou Presenting His First Show For Free

Before Jay Chou talked about his forthcoming first presenting job, the answer has been revealed, he will be on CtiTV's Saturday golden time at 6pm in a show in the style of "SMAPxSMAP", it will be him plus 4 of his good friends so the 5 of them will go on together, it's been rumoured that he's getting 500,000 yuan for each hour of his presenting, that's twice his teacher variety heavenly king Jacky Wu's rates, but Director Chou clarified this through his company that in actual fact "he hasn't taken a single penny".

For Director Chou's maiden presenting show, the contents will be interviews, singing, dancing and short dramas, he will be the main star amongst the presenters, he will be with good friends and dancers, Ice Cream, Xiao Mai and also image stylist Du Guo Zhang, there's also another who will reportedly be a female model from Japan, they will be presenting as a group. But because Director Chou has taken on a concert tour that will have a performance nearly every week, he might only be able to present the first few episodes, it's obvious he's opening this show to support his good friends.

There's been talk that the 5 man strong presenting team will cost 1 million yuan per episode, amongst them Director Chou's fee is 500,000 yuan, but at present first class presenters like Zhang Fei, Hu Gua, Jacky Wu only get 250,000 yuan per episode, plus if you take away Director Chou's cost, the other 4 will get an average of 125,000 yuan each if the rumours of a 500,000 yuan fee are true, it doesn't seem right.

Yesterday Director Chou was busy flying to China to perform and earn money, his agent company JVR Music clarified: "Due to the fact that the presenting job is not one of Jay's normal entertainment jobs, it'll be like when he directed Pandamen, he won't take a penny, add on to that Jay's demand for high standards for the show, the money will be spent on the show." It's been reported that each episode will cost nearly 1 million yuan.

The ideas for the whole show have all come from Director Chou, even the guests that are coming on have been invited by him personally, according to reports in his list apart from the likes of heavenly queen Judy Chiang, A-mei Chang, Hong Kong star Anthony Wong, even Jolin Tsai who worked with him just before is in the list, according to reports he'll personally invite her, the topics of discussion will include records, looks and stories of growing up.
