When he stood on the podium that year, Jay Chou held up the medal and thanked Wu Zongxian in the audience, "Without Wu Zongxian, there would be no Jay Chou!" It can be said that this period was the time when Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian had the deepest and deepest relationship. Happy time. For Jay Chou at that time, Wu Zongxian was not only his boss, but also his master and guide. So, after so many years, to Jay Chou, why has Wu Zongxian become a stranger? The first point is that Wu Zongxian encountered a major economic crisis
In 2002, the LED business run by Wu Zongxian encountered a serious financial crisis. Reporters at the time reported that Wu Zongxian owed a foreign debt of NT$800 million. Even if Wu Zongxian mortgaged all the properties and restaurants in his name, it would not be enough to repay the debt.
In this case, Wu Zongxian "sold" his Alpha Records and its artists Jay Chou and Wen Lan to other companies for a package price of NT$300 million (approximately 67 million yuan) . In other words, Jay Chou was "sold" by Wu Zongxian like a commodity.
From Wu Zongxian’s perspective, he is an operator and a businessman, and businessmen have always valued profits over separation. Between business and Jay Chou, Wu Zongxian's choice would of course be his business. But Jay Chou is different. He regards Wu Zongxian as his benefactor. Not only has he repeatedly rejected large-money contracts from other companies, he has also shown his loyalty more than once, saying frankly that he will always follow Wu Zongxian.
However, the friendship between master and apprentice that Jay Chou thought suddenly collapsed in the face of reality. Then, Jay Chou will naturally feel that he has been "betrayed". After the company changed hands, Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian held a press conference to explain the company's situation. Wu Zongxian said honestly that it was indeed because of personal business issues that he transferred the music company.
Jay Chou pretended to be relaxed at the press conference and said, "It doesn't matter if the company's boss changes, as long as I stick to my own music." But does Jay Chou really not mind? Before selling the company, Jay Chou helped Wu Zongxian write more than ten songs. After selling the company, Jay Chou never helped Wu Zongxian write a song, and they had no contact for 15 years. The second point that affected the relationship between Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian was the music copyright dispute
Wu Zongxian originally sold the music company to the Holliday Group, and Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan were also "transferred" to the Holliday Group. Yang Junrong, who once helped Jay Chou with recording affairs at Wu Zongxian's company, also switched jobs to the Holliday Group. Later, Yang Junrong resigned again and founded Jewel Music Co., Ltd. with Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan.
After turning from a singer to a boss, Jay Chou inevitably had a music copyright dispute with his former employer. The former owner believed that they should own the music copyright of Jay Chou's previously released albums. But the fact is that when Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian signed the management contract, they added an additional payment, that is, when Jay Chou's management contract expires, Jay Chou will take back all the music copyrights of all his songs.
In other words, when the management contract between Jay Chou and Holliday ended in 2007, the copyright of all his songs naturally no longer belonged to Holliday Company. However, it was Wu Zongxian who signed the contract with Jay Chou, but it was Holliday Company that ultimately paid for it. Of course, Holliday would not accept it willingly, so they applied to freeze Jay Chou's NT$200 million in assets in the name of the company.
Logically speaking, this matter does not seem to have anything to do with Wu Zongxian, but if Wu Zongxian could clearly hand over these matters when selling the company, Jay Chou and Holiday may not have a music copyright dispute. . Therefore, in this dispute, Wu Zongxian seemed to be a bystander, but in fact he was the source of all conflicts. After this incident, the relationship between Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian naturally deteriorated further. The third reason that affects the relationship between Jay Chou and Wu Zongxian is Wu Zongxian's "big mouth"
Whether Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai have ever been together is a question that many people are concerned about. Every time when asked by reporters about this scandal, Jay Chou always denied it.
Because neither of the parties involved admitted it, the outside world has always defined the relationship between Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai as a "rumored couple."
Until 2005, Jay Chou and Patty Hou were photographed dating in Daikanyama, and "Zhou Hou Lian" officially surfaced. Jay Chou and Patty Hou are in love, but they probably have nothing to do with Wu Zongxian.
But for some unknown reason, Wu Zongxian revealed in an interview with reporters that he was the one who brought Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou together. Jay Chou helped Jolin Tsai write songs and he was the matchmaker. As soon as this statement came out, it undoubtedly confirmed the rumors of "double J love", and also made Jay Chou bear the infamy of "cheating".
Not only that, when Jay Chou and Patty Hou were forced to break up due to external pressure in 2007, Wu Zongxian jumped out to express his views. His sentence "Perhaps Patty Hou dumped Jay Chou" caused an uproar in public opinion. At the same time, Wu Zongxian frequently said that the biggest reason why Jay Chou and Patty Hou broke up was that they did not want to get married.
From Jay Chou and Patty Hou's relationship to their breakup, Wu Zongxian, as an outsider, has always maintained an extremely active state. Jay Chou has never liked to reveal his private life to the media, but Wu Zongxian broke the news about Jay Chou's private life in front of reporters from time to time. Over time, not only Jay Chou's image has been greatly affected, but his relationship with Wu Zongxian has also dropped to a freezing point.
Based on the above three reasons, when Jay Chou and Kun Ling got married in 2015, Jay Chou invited many friends in the industry to three weddings at home and abroad, and the big names in Taiwan’s entertainment industry also I received the invitation, but Wu Zongxian was the only one who was not invited.
Perhaps, just like Wu Zongxian's current attitude, he is a person from Jay Chou's past life. Now that Jay Chou has a different life, naturally he will no longer exist. Forgetting each other in the world and not disturbing each other may be the best ending for this former master and disciple!
