Secret made me cry.
I really love this film. (Or probably I love everything Jay does.) It is definitely not the cliché love story. In fact, it’s a simple romantic love story but with a remarkable twist and an unexpected ending. The setting, the shooting and the scenes were excellent. Jay is indeed talented and he knows exactly what appeals to the mass audience today. I applaud him for his first directed movie. Some people may find this film rather unrealistic at some point. But I think the idea is that at the end of it, when different puzzles piece together, the film leaves the audience with some room for their own thoughts and revelations. I believe that if I watch it a second time, I may realize something new.
But what I hated about this movie was that it actually left me feeling heartache and depressed the whole evening. Because I could connect with the emotions of the female lead – she was depressed because no one understood what she was going through emotionally. There was a scene when she was inscribing words on the table and crying terribly: 我爱你。你爱我吗?
冷咖啡离开了杯垫
我忍住的情绪在很后面
拼命想挽回的从前
在我脸上依旧清晰可见
是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐 oh
回忆的画面
在荡着秋千梦开始不甜
你说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
或许命运的签只让我们遇见
只让我们相恋这一季的秋天
飘落后才发现这幸福的碎片
要我怎么捡
Two interesting articles I read online:

Besides the plot, Jay Chou was happy to talk about other "secrets". He revealed, that he wanted to express a student style of love, "the love of students is a very pure thing, it's not complicated like in society, but this is not my biography". He said, his own first love was not as exciting as in the movie, "She wasn't as beautiful as the female lead in the movie, and I wasn't as thoughtful like in the movie, if it was filmed no one would watch it". Jay Chou admitted there was a kissing scene in the movie, not only that but he doesn't just kiss one girl. As for his own role, he revealed he has the most lines among everyone, and he didn't get dubbed, so he reckons everyone will get tired listening to it.
Jay Chou told of his honest reason for wanting to be a director: "I am an actor, I think that if I was a director I can control everything. I am a Capricorn, I like to control others." Some people questioned if he hired a "contractor" to film it, he shook his head: "I'm most afraid of people suspecting this one. In order to avoid suspicion, I didn't even let Andrew Lau come visit, only until the last day did he come and watch my movie, as a result he said I learnt from him." After filming "Secret", Jay Chou will not be directing movies for three years, "Being the director of a MV is very relaxing, being a movie director is too tiring, for the next three years I'll be concentrating on making music". But if he was to film the next one, he wants to film a martial arts movie.
Female lead Guey Lun-mei commented on Jay Chou: "He isn't so cool like when you see him normally, he doesn't like to talk but is very witty". In fact, yesterday at the press conference Jay Chou showed off his humorous side. When a reporter asked him what "secrets" were there that he could not tell the outside world, he expressed: "There are too many secrets that cannot be told, the first is my mother's age. Also there's love, if I get a girlfriend in the future, I won't talk about it. In terms of other things, it is just a blank piece of paper, everyone is very clear about that. So talking about love, my mouth will be a bit tighter." So what would Jay Chou do if the paparazzi secretly filmed his "relationship"? He chose to act like a child: "If I don't admit to it then it's not true, if they filmed me with my mother and said I was dating, isn't that going over the top. Also I have to remind the girls beside me to be careful, otherwise it will be very easy for people to say you are dating."

Finally Jay Chou can talk about the kissing scenes in his new self-starring self-directed movie "Secret", firstly Guey Lun-mei secretly kisses Jay Chou, and then the two kiss each other mouth to mouth in the sunset at Tam Sui, according to reports, filming these two kissing scenes nearly made Jay Chou "crazy", he completely reminisced about the scene of his first love.
Even though he stated clearly this was not an autobiography, but "Secret" hides too many real little secrets of Jay Chou, as the release date 10th of August draws closer, the secrets gradually leak out.
For example the kissing scene that has just been exposed, was designed by Jay Chou, describing the first time he and Guey Lun-mei open up about their feelings, the two arrange to take a walk around the record shop, as they walk, Guey Lun-mei couldn't help but steal a kiss on Jay Chou.
For filming this scene, Jay Chou spent nearly a million yuan to hire out the café at
The director on the set is the biggest and what he say goes, Jay Chou officially shouts "Action", Guey Lun-mei kisses him at lightning speed, Jay Chou was very happy, then his heartbeat started going faster, he completely "forgot who I was".
But this was only the warm up, the story develops to the point the two's relationship is strong, they arrange to meet at Tam Sui at sunset, they kiss in front of the beautiful scenery, mouth to mouth, but Jay Chou has insisted the pictures of the scene must not be exposed.
