A few years ago, Vincent Fang was basically a youth no one knew about, the turning point was when he was hired by Jacky Wu to work in the same company as Jay Chou. Afterwards, Jay Chou became popular really quickly, "benefiting" Vincent Fang, he's now living the life many people envy, "more of a star than normal people", "more relaxed than stars". Vincent Fang set up JVR Music with Jay Chou, from an angle, Jay Chou is his "redeemer". On another side, the two are so close they wear the same pair of pants. So whenever someone suspects or accuses Jay Chou, Vincent Fang would seek justice for Jay Chou. Yesterday, Vincent Fang accepted an interview.

In recent times the music market has fallen, even Jay Chou, being the leader in the music industry, has had a year when he hasn't released a new album. Towards Jay Chou's movement towards movies and what Jay Chou and Vincent Fang plan after "Chinese style", perhaps it was because he had been asked so many times recently, Vincent Fang was sensitive to the issue and took it as a questioning of Jay Chou, he replied with fluctuating feelings. "A rock artist, all 10 songs in the album are rock. He's released 4 albums and they are all rock, why don't you say to him 'you should sing a folk song or jazz and blues'? A female artist, will definitely have an album where every song is related to love, why don't you say to her 'you should sing more songs about society, anti war songs'? If you count from the first album Jay Chou has at least 5 songs not related to love out of 10, he's trying his best to do different styles, to give everyone a fresh feeling. The result is everyone keeps on asking him to do new things, add more variation. This is too severe! This is perhaps "love well, whip well". It's good to have expectations of Jay, but you also have to reference the zero progress of other artists. This is like Wulin, there's plenty of sides, you can't just ask Shaolin to improve. Jay and I haven't thrown away the collaboration on the new album, because he's been filming in America recently, the new album should be delayed until March."

Jay Chou has already successfully stepped into the movie world, he's fulfilled his dreams outside filming too. It turns out Vincent Fang's dream was movies before his got into the music industry, writing songs was just a jump board into the world of movies at the start. Recently, because he wrote 2 songs for Sun Nan, Vincent Fang was asked to direct the MV for one of the songs "Jolly". This is the first time he has directed by himself, before he had directed together with Jay Chou on the music videos for "Lan Ting Preface" and "Coral Sea".

Vincent Fang expressed that when he writes lyrics he focuses on what you picture, so directing an MV is the same thing for him, using a different style to show the same contents. He revealed he will be filming a music movie he has written himself this year, "Even though it's a bit on the artsy side, but I still found an investor." People are probably paying more attention on how Jay Chou will help out. "Jay and I are close but not as you'd imagine. Do you know? The clothes I'm wearing today are actually his, because he gets so much stuff being a spokesperson, he just can't use it all. It's because we are close, I'll definitely get him to help, I'm not afraid of people saying I'm using him for PR, it's because we're close, I'll only consider the needs of the movie, I won't forcefully make new content just for him. Maybe he doesn't even need to be in the shot, he can just do the movie soundtrack."
