Jay Chou, Stephen Chow coming together for 'collab of the century'

Fans of Jay Chou and Stephen Chow, brace yourselves as the Mandopop king and Hong Kong’s comedy king are getting together for a collaboration.

Yes, Stephen’s agency has confirmed rumours of a collab, saying the stars are “indeed in talks” but cannot yet make an announcement.

Stephen sparked rumours of a collab when he posted a pic of himself enjoying a glass of red wine, while listening to Jay’s album Greatest Work Of Art on March 7 (Tuesday).

In his Instagram caption, he tagged the singer, writing: "See you in Hong Kong!"

Soon after, Jay, who is holidaying in Paris, commented: “Sing ye’s taste is too cool.”

Jay also shared on his Instagram a pic of himself holding the ace of clubs card and beside him was a screen showing Stephen from his 1991 comedy God Of Gamblers Part III: Back To Shanghai.

“Sing ye, do you want me to bring you a few bottles of red wine from France or do you want me to get you Pierre Cashon?” he said. The character Pierre Cashon (played by actor Declan Wong) is known as the “French God of Gamblers” in the movie.

It’s gonna be epic

Naturally, fans were thrilled by the news, dubbing it the “collab of the century”.

“New group? 周杰伦 (Jay Chou) + 周星驰 (Stephen Chow) = 周二 (Tuesday)?” quipped one netizen, while another wrote: "The two bosses are doing something together, looking forward to see what sparks will fly.”

Fans also began speculating what that might be.

Would Stephen make a guest appearance at Jay’s Hong Kong concert in May? Would Jay sing the theme song for Stephen’s highly anticipated The Mermaid 2?

Guess we’ll have to wait to find out.
