According to reports, Cindy went through a lot during the writing of "Sand Painting", when she wrote the first version she didn't dare to give it directly to Jay Chou, she hid outside the recording studio watching Jay's reaction, after "judging" it Jay Chou said: "This song's not bad, but it's more suitable for you to sing it yourself." After being rejected all Cindy could do was go back and try harder, she kept on thinking about what song would be suitable for her to sing with her senior male apprentice, she gave him a second song, after hearing it, he said: "Yea, keep trying!" She knew it wasn't ok, after suffering rejection twice in a row, Cindy persisted in doing her best, she kept thinking about music that suits both their domains and feel, she even especially designed a rap in the song for Jay Chou, she worked on it all night, and at last got Jay Chou's approval.

When filming the MV, Cindy's piano and violin were against Jay Chou's cello, the set was filled with smoke. After their battle, Jay Chou praised her musical ability: "Cindy's piano playing skills are really amazing! She is as good as Yuhao, but for a girl to be able to play at this pace and crazy power, it's really cool and surprising! She was completely different when I was singing with her, you see she is very quiet when singing, but once she starts playing the piano she is completely different! The important point is she can write songs, you have your own style by writing your own songs!"

Cindy was very grateful to Jay Chou, what made her even more touched was that Jay Chou rushed to the set to join the filming as soon as he returned to Taiwan, it was her first time filming an MV, Cindy said: "I was so nervous I couldn't sleep! I had not idea whatsoever what I had to prepare, my senior apprentice told me I had to relax, he looked after me like a sister, I'm so lucky to be able to sing with my senior apprentice!"

After receiving guidance from Jay Chou, Cindy quickly learned how to get into the state, in order to set the scene for the song, they built a sand setting on the set, with the wind blowing the sand after the filming Cindy had sand all over her, she didn't mind and said it was all worth it! In the MV Jay Chou had a mixed style look, a black jacket, white trainers, he had on a hip hop cap and leather gloves, he matched the mix of classical and r&b of this song, when he was playing the cello he put out a cool pose, with a speed so fast that your ears can't catch up, he played out the melody from the cello at lightning speed, the director was stunned! He laughed saying he really knows how to show off!

Jay Chou didn't forget to teach the newcomer Cindy, firstly he laughed saying she had to be careful of the paparazzi!

Jessie Chiang has long hair and big eyes, she's exactly the type that Jay likes the most, since April 2004 when the two were caught playing basketball together, in the same year she sang the interlude "Teru Teru Bozu" for "Secret" and so the rumours began, afterwards they also worked together on the MV for "The Longest Movie", not only has she been seen driving a BMW Jay gave her for her birthday with the number plate "0429" which is her birthday, but she was also caught driving straight into his residence by the media, at the beginning of last year it was revealed she went on holiday with Jay in America, but she denied this by saying she would "get so fat".

Jay, who has an income of 5.5 billion yuan this year, has been filming "The Green Hornet" for 3 months already in America, readers were looking at photos of the hotel room in America posted on the blog of one of Jay's friends, they discovered that a lot of things were the same in the photos Jessie Chiang posted at the same time on her blog, including the sofa, desk lamp, curtains and colour, they inferred that the two are at the very least staying in the same hotel, at present she has already hurriedly deleted the photos, just with this move, Jessie Chiang's position as "J wife" has become even more consolidated.

Yesterday Jessie Chiang's Juicy Music's Zheng Zhong Yong said, a lot of hotel rooms look the same, it's a bit farfetched to say they are the same room, the company will not ask about artists private schedule, she likes to take photos and share them on her blog, the company will not respond to this private matter.

In order to be even more into the performance, in one of the scenes where she goes crazy, Lin Chi Ling throws out all her usual cuteness, in front of everyone's eyes was a crazy woman that no one could have ever imagined. Chiling's full on performance even made Jay Chou say: "When filming this scene, it seemed like Chiling became someone else completely, I was really shocked by her. It was very crazy, I suddenly had a cold feeling in my heart!" Jay Chou also revealed the fact that in order to get into the mood, before filming the scene, Lin Chi Ling sat alone at the side, on her face was a murderous look, no one dared to walk up to her, it was like you shouldn't walk close to a stranger, until they started filming this scene, everyone finally got to see Chiling's "crazy" performance like she was possessed, she hit and chased her opponent Jay Chou fiercely, just simply "crazy". Chiling on the other hand smiled saying she put a lot of effort into this time's breakthrough change of character, she spent the morning everyday practising kung fu, luckily Lin Chi Ling has the basics of dancing, so it wasn't so bad. On other news, Jay Chou and Lin Chi Ling will be visiting Hong Kong on the 23rd to the 24th to promote their new movie.
