TAIPEI : Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou revealed that he is unlikely to direct another television drama after "Pandamen" during a promotional press event for the ailing series on Tuesday.
"Pandamen" suffered low ratings in Taiwan despite being aired in its entirety. Cuts made to key scenes in the show by Chinese censors were previously blamed for its dismal showing in Guangzhou, China.
While Chou said he did not mind these disappointing results, he revealed that it is unlikely he will direct another television drama serial.
"This ['Pandamen'] is the fulfillment of a dream. A commemoration of my 30 years of life and a gift to myself," said Chou. "Because it is quite difficult to shoot a television series, there will probably not be a next time."
During the event, Chou also admitted that he had a relationship with female singer Devin Wu.
"If I claim I did not, that would be too much of a stretch, or if I said anything else, it would hurt the girl."
Chou had previously claimed that they were just label-mates and that he merely sent her home a few times.
Despite all the rumours and half-truths swirling about himself, Chou was seemingly unperturbed and said that "it is good for an artiste to be in the news" but admitted later that "it was tiring to be an artiste".
