After releasing an emo song
Ju Hua Tai for the blockbuster
Curse of the Golden Flower, Taiwan superstar Jay Chou will
soon release another song,
Huang Jin Jia, or
Golden
Armor, as the theme song for the movie.
Different from the poetic lyrics and slow beat of Ju Hua
Tai, this new song has a hard rock beat infused with street
rap and heavy metal.
The singer, who plays a supporting role in the movie, co-starred
with veterans Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li.
He composed the song with his long-time partner, lyricist
Vincent Fang, after finishing acting in the movie.
Chow wrote several theme songs for movies such as Initial
D and Huo Yuan Jia, which both became popular hits
among Chinese youth.
