Cape No 7 premiere, Jay Chou adds his support

"Cape No 7" which won the million head award at the Taiwan film festival is having its premiere on the night of the 20th, with good recommendations from director Hou Hsiao-Hsien and other famous people, the pre-order for tickets has already broken 6000. Yesterday night even Jay Chou sent in a video to recommend it, this was a nice surprise for the director Wei De-Shen.

Due to the fact that both "Cape No 7" and Jay Chou's "Secret" are distributed by the same company Buena Vista and the producer is also the same person for both, on top of that the female lead of "Cape No 7" Tanaka Chie also worked with Jay Chou in "Initial D" and was the female lead in Jay Chou's MV for "Common Jasmin Orange", therefore Jay Chou has a very deep connection with "Cape No 7". Tanaka Chie said, it was because Jay Chou was just too nice of a person, that made her want to come to Taiwan to learn Chinese and develop her career.

Hou Hsiao-Hsien expressed, "Cape No 7" was one of the best national movies he's seen in recent years, he thought Wei De-Shen was very persuasive in how he handled the emotional details, he hopes this movie will be a success, because if this movie really became a success with its quality and recommendations, it will become a significant target for national movies.
