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.
