How Jay Chou Became World’s Chinese Pop Superstar Due To His Mother’s All Out Love

The restaurant has a piano and one day, Jay happened to just play on it for fun.

While he was playing the “Chopin Dance”, his boss heard and was stunned.

An idea came to his boss’s mind. He asked Jay not to work as a waiter anymore, instead play piano in the restaurant.

In order to create some publicity, his boss invited some television reporters to make news on Jay playing piano in the restaurant.

This helped improve the restaurant’s business significantly and Jay was also fairly well paid working as a pianist in the restaurant.

One of Jay’s school mates help him to register to take part in Taipei Star TV entertainment show “Super Rookie”.

For this competition, Jay created an elaborate song “Dreams have wings,” but he really did not have the confidence to sing it himself. Instead he invited a singer to sing on his behalf.

However, the singer did not really understand the genre of his song and so, his piano accompaniment turned out very weird. The audience booed and it was a total screw up for Jay.

Ye Hui Mei was very anxious for Jay. She found the courage to look for popular host Jacky Wu, and showed him Jay’s “Dreams have wings” score.

Wu was Taiwan Alpha music company owner, he did not have a good first impression of Jay but after taking a look at the score, he found the music score very eye-catching.

The score was written in a very neat and orderly manner despite the spectrum of the music being very complicated in nature.

Because of that, Wu immediately changed his mind and told Jay’s mum, “This child still has some potential, ask him to come to work tomorrow.”

Jay joined the music company as a production assistant. Under his mother’s encouragement, Jay often took the initiative to help colleagues to buy lunch and help them in any ways possible.

Gradually, everyone in the company started to have some good impression of this quiet but diligent young man.

Ye Hui Mei was always worried about Jay’s indifference and stubbornness.

She was afraid that Jay would offend bosses and employees because of his character and temperament.

And so very often during off hours, Ye Hui Mei will always appear at the recording company to offer some delicious pizza, fried chicken to give employees and ask them to bear with Jay.

Very soon, Ye Hui Mei was also familiar with colleagues than Jay himself. And everyone knows that Jay has a good mother.

Jay quickly created a large number of songs, but let Wu was unmoved. He felt that the lyrics and music Jay wrote were always strange and almost nobody within the music circle has any appreciation for that sort of music.

Once, Jay took what he thought was his finest creation to Wu to have a look. Wu did not even look, crumpled the score and readily throw it into the trash bin.

Jay was so upset that he could only keep crying.

Should he abandon his dream or continue? His mother turning up at his company to offer things to his colleagues has become a common scene.

Jay felt very sorry if he were to give up after what his mum has done for him all these while.

Jay decided to bite the bullet and as hard as he tried, he wrote songs at the speed of a song every day.

Ye Hui Mei goes to the company every night to see Jay and seeing her son suffering, she choked and tried her best to hold back the tears.

She tried to say a few words of encouragement to Jay and some happy words, and then replaced Jay’s clothes to bring back home to wash.

For more than a month, Wu would turn up in the office consecutively every day at eight o'clock. And when he reaches office every day, he would always see a new piece of song by Jay.

Finally, he was very moved by this young man’s hard work and talent. He started to see some signs of hope in Jay’s songs and decided to help Jay find some established singers to sing his songs.

Wu took Jay’s “Tears knows” to Andy Lau but was refused in the end.

Shortly after, Wu took Jay’s “Nunchaku” to A-Mei and she did not hesitate in rejecting Jay’s song.

Wu decided to give Jay one last chance and let him sing his own songs, and if this still does not work, Jay will have to leave the company.
