Taiwanese pop-idol Jay Chou is chosen as one of the 100 most creative people in business by American magazine “Fast Company”, ranking No 70 for his far-reaching success with his all-around performances in show business.
In its latest issue, the “Fast Company” credited Jay Chou, the cofounder of JVR Music, of reaching a great success in showing his talents of being a singer-songwriter, actor and movie director and restaurant owner.
“Once a behind-the-scenes guy who penned songs for other musicians and subsisted on instant ramen, Jay Chou has parlayed his wild success as a singer-songwriter -- he reportedly made $17.5 million last year -- into other ventures,” the magazine says.
Chou’s debut as a movie director, the 2007 film “Secret,” was an instant hit. When the film was released, he opened his second Mr. J restaurant in Taiwan, with servers wearing costumes from the film.
Last year, the 31-year-old launched a dessert shop filled with Chou memorabilia; directed his first television series; and made his first foray into Holly-wood, playing Kato in Michel Gondry's Green Hornet, set to release in December, it continued.
“Cool!” said Chou after learning the news. He said he has been focusing on holding a concerts tour recently. “It will be even cooler if I can make the tour a huge success,” he added.
Chou is well-known for composing all his own songs and songs for other singers with his genius combination of Chinese and Western music styles to produce songs that fuse R&B, rock and pop genres, covering issues such as domestic violence, war, and urbanization.
The No. 1 winner of the most creative people in business is iconic pop star Lady Gaga. Other winners include Avatar director James Cameron (No.9) and cook show chef Jamie Oliver (37).
Fast Company is a full-color business magazine that releases 10 issues per year and reports on topics including innovation, digital media, technology, change management, leadership, design, and social responsibility.
Fast Company was launched in November 1995 by Alan Webber and Bill Taylor, two former Harvard Business Review editors.
