REVIEW
This Golden Flower tie-in album is chockfull of the latest
Jay Chou music videos; it is a highly entertaining package.
But let us stick to the two tracks and corresponding music
videos for the purpose of this MovieXclusive review, putting
the rest of the music videos on the backburner.
Jay
plays the piano version of the ballad loosely translated as
the Pavilion of Chrysanthemums to okay effect here. A song
sculpted in his signature traditional Chinese music style,
Jay has provided Chinese restaurants with another tune to
serve with the chrysanthemum tea. Yeo’s has also found
a worthy spokesperson.
For
the music video of rock track Golden Armour, Jay channeled
KORN in his terracotta (according to 8 Days) rock ensemble
and tried to move suspiciously like he is dancing. Putting
Jay’s dance moves out of the mind, audiences will be
impressed by the sheer grandeur of movie scenes and Gong Li’s
gravitas featured in both videos. Let’s hope the film
will be this good in its entirety.
