Concerning the incomplete versions of Jay Chou's new songs floating online, JVR Music expressed their hurt! After calling the police, they've appealed to fans not to download or repost these leaked music, as to avoid breaking the law. The record company understands that this leakage has caused damage that's difficult to gauge to both the company itself and related collaborating companies! And the statistics from the few days of the pre-ordering results, in just a short 9 days it has already broken the pre-order figures for "On The Run" (the total pre-orders for On The Run album were 48011 copies), this bit of news not only lifted the morale of all the workers at the company but it has also proved that good music won't be lonely, it also seals the support and full confidence the fans have in Jay Chou's music, they haven't been affected by the leakage, at the moment the pre-orders are still increasing! Jay said: "I thank the fans for their support of original! My fans are diao just like my music!" In the time when the record market is not doing well, all record distributors smile saying: "This year we're waiting for this one album!"

In order to thank fans' support of original music, and also to celebrate the good result of the pre-orders, the record company are holding 3 pre-order autograph and singing sessions on the 11th of 12th of October at whole provinces, Jay Chou, who has never held a pre-order autograph and singing session will personally thank fans for their support in boycotting pirates together. As for after the album is released, because of the arrangement of time right now they don't have plans to hold an album autograph and singing session, they ask fans to seize the once in a year chance to see Jay Chou! At the pre-order autograph and singing session the fans can get the poster of Jay Chou as the magician and the joker with their pre-order receipt and they can have it signed by Jay Chou, when this pre-order poster was posted at the shops it was paid a lot of attention by fans but yet they couldn't get it, now people who have pre-ordered can obtain this at the autograph and singing session, this is one of the gifts the record company are giving back to the fans, and the gifts that come along with the release of the new album they have added in the "Magic Card" and the DVD for the two new MVs Jay Chou has directed! As for one of the pre-order gifts, the "Rubik's Cube", demand was outstripping supply, they hope to prepare more with the delay, so the fans who have selected this pre-order gift can get it.

The pre-order results have surpassed his last album, it shows Jay Chou's strength in creative work is not affected by the online leak, at the same time it also shows that the first plugged song "Fragrant Rice" has received a very big response! It's creating a resonance with everyone in the whole society! It's closely followed by the second plugged song written with Vincent Fang, a lyrical piece "Where's The Promised Happiness?", Jay Chou's love songs are definitely out of the ordinary! Under the directing of Jay Chou the MV will have beautiful scenes, Jay Chou, who's already knowledgeable in terms of directing, said: "This song's already very sad, the plot won't give everyone too much pressure, at the end of the day a love song is used to vent, and not to make people even more depressed."

The day of the filming was the day before the typhoon, Jay Chou directed this MV in the rain with an umbrella, he wasn't afraid of the wind and rain, instead he said it was very appropriate to have wind and rain for this sad love song, the main scene was at an old building in the Hua Shan Arts and Culture Centre, when Jay Chou saw this old building he had a lot of feeling, this was the first time this building had been lent out for filming, after searching the location Jay Chou told workers to put a piano in it, and decorate it with flowers, Jay Chou lip-synced while playing the piano in the old building, it had an alternative and special atmosphere! The female lead in the MV acted along with the lyrics, not only did she have to run bare foot crying on the day of the typhoon, she had to climb onto the rooftop to act as a hurt girl, it was very hard on her. Even though there wasn't much overlapping between the female lead and Jay Chou in the MV, but she said she learnt a lot from Jay Chou's directing skills.
