Jay Chou’s Song for The Green Hornet’s Ending Theme; Shows Cameron Diaz Magic Tricks


It is somewhat of a significant event in the Chinese music industry as Jay Chou’s music goes global with the premier of the Hollywood film, The Green Hornet. Chou’s self-composed song, Nunchucks (雙截棍), is what audiences around the world will hear as the ending credits roll up the big screen.

Nunchucks (雙截棍) is a song taken from Chou’s second studio album, “Fantasy” – entirely self-composed and released when he was just 22 years old. Since his debut, this song is a must-have on his set-list in all his large-scale live concerts, thus holding a significant place in his music career. Nunchucks is also Bruce Lee’s signature weapon, thus representing the determination and unyielding spirit of the Chinese.

Acting alongside big name Hollywood stars like Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz meant that there was inevitable interaction despite the language barrier. In his interview with hyphen magazine, Chou revealed that he used his well-known love for magic tricks to break the ice and get closer to his co-star, Cameron Diaz. He said, “during breaks, I showed Cameron Diaz some magic tricks. With magic, you don’t need to talk, I feel like it’s very easy, like a universal language. These things can bring different people together quickly.”

The trailer does look exciting so be sure to check this movie out!
