It's my pleasure.
Jimmy:I like photography a lot,I want to preserve what I see,because I’m a pretty forgetful person,so I must rely on photography to improve my memory。
Host:I don’t think you have a bad memory, but rather the things you do things very quickly。
Jimmy:Yes, I compare myself to a computer,My speed is very high but my capacity is low.
Host:I know Jimmy has control over not only of cars and cameras,but also of all kinds of electronics,I heard at the places where you film, like in mainland China, you can use your laptop to control the curtains in your house or other stuff like that. It sounds unrealistic to me.
Jimmy:Actually it’s true。I use my cell phone because now cell phones have the functions of a PDA.
Host:what treasures do you have in your house to necessitate such stringent control?
Host:it’s not really like that。Because I really like this kind of stuff,and before I thought doing things manually (like turning lights on and off) was troublesome,so I began using this kind of product to regulate my environment。If you come to my house,I can use my cell phone to adjust the temperature, turn lights on and of, and select TV channels for you.
Host:is this limited by your location?where can you exercise this kind of control over your house?
Jimmy:anywhere there are telephone signals,using GPRS to access the Internet through the phone company’s network.
Host:and you can control your TV?
Jimmy:Yes。Because every machine has a remote,which uses infrared rays to send out signals,So we only needed to install an infrared emission outlet on the computer,and put receptors on the surrounding objects,then the computer can control everything。
Host:who connected all the wires in your house?
Jimmy:I paid for some specialists/electricians to do it.
Host:you don’t think that’s troublesome?
Jimmy:because I like it, the more trouble it is the more I like it。
Host:Wow, very impressive。I didn’t expect that you would have such interests outside of car racing.
Jimmy:I didn’t expect it either. It’s probably because my interest is so strong that when I can’t satisfy my needs, my ambition only gets bigger. Then I begin to research and experiment with fun things like these.
Host:Let’s see the questions our listeners have for you,How’s your cold?
Jimmy:It’s a little better, but my throat still hurts a little. The temperature change has been very drastic recently ,the nights are very cold. The first day I came here I was still worrying because I had a meeting with the fans, a signing/autographing event, and a press conference. I was afraid that I wouldn’t perform well, but after I discovered that over a thousand people came, I was very happy.
Host:Chong Jing Wei Lai wants to know if you liked the watch you were wearing in the MV?
Jimmy:Yes. It’s a hand watch, but it has a timer so it can be used like a digital watch.
Host:One listeners says “Fabricating a Story” is a very beautiful song,does it describe some of your own feelings?I saw on the internet that the song is about the relationship between you and Ruby, the “double-Lin” affair. Is it true?
Jimmy:of course not. If I get the chance, I’d love to work with her again in the future. Actually, this song is written by JJ Lin, so it could be “double-Lin” as well. The song also requires a lot of techniques. It’s a great song.
Host:the story in “Fabricating a Story” is made up, so everyone has his/her own interpretation.
When you film, you bring your stereo, laser, etc. everywhere?
Jimmy:No that’s a little exaggerated,I usually bring my recreational equipment, like my movie prjector so I can watch some movies during my free time, and also my stereo. I remember one year it was a little overdone,I had two consecutive films lined up, so I brought my DJ equipment over, the one with 4 CD tracks, as well as all of my CDs, to play music. Because the place of the filming was pretty isolated, many of my friends came to my place for fun as if it were a bar.
Host:I heard that when you were filming, you accidentally met up with Zhang Man Yu, Liang Chao Wei and the rest of the “Hero” crew. And then they all went to your place to listen to music.
Jimmy:Yes. I’m a perfectionist in everything. Like when I watch a movie, I have to watch it in a movie theater for the atmosphere. So I bring my movie projector and decorate my room up like a little bar. I also use some lighting effects.
