Chou’s music intertwines Western R&B and hip-hop with a distinctive Chinese flavor. He’s drawn a huge and sometimes obsessive following across Asia, especially in China, since his debut with the album “Jay" in 2000.
新闻内容：
周的音乐结合著西方蓝调R&B、霹雳舞和独特的中国风，自从2000年初试啼声的专辑“Jay”，即吸引了全亚洲大批着迷的歌迷，尤其是中国。
Last year’s movie, “Kung Fu Dunk," was a hit across Asia for Chou.
周去年的电影“功夫灌篮”也风靡全亚洲。
In his new film “Ci Ling,” which he was promoting in Beijing on the 21st, Chou appears next to Taiwan supermodel Chiling Lin. It won’t be hitting the screens for at least another year.

Chou says he’s not willing to wait for global stardom.
周说他不愿慢慢等待成为世界性的明星。
[Jay Chou, Pop Star]:
“I think art is beyond language, if you understand it, you will know it. For the international market, you have to promote yourself first, to tell people how good your music is, in English, and I seldom do that.”
流行歌手周杰伦说：“我认为艺术是超越语言的，如果你懂它，你就会知道。在国际市场上，你必须先自我促销，用英语告诉人们你的音乐有多棒，我就比较少做了。”

用吸引人的歌曲、街头国语、稚气的帅脸及含蓄几近害羞的态度，他已经赢得广大歌迷的心，甚至是华语外的亚洲国家，连在日本也相当成功。他很少能够逃出狗仔队的目光。
