The Stephen Chow Sing Chi directed film that has been under prepared for a long time, KUNG FU SOCCER (GONG FU NUI JOOK), will be officially released on July 11th. Its advanced sales box office broke through 40 million yuan RMB yesterday! The film has not announced which singer would sing the theme song. Some online said that during the preparation of the film, Chow Sing Chi on the social network respectively shared photos with Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun), Mayday's lead singer Ashin and Stefanie Sun Yanzi. Both photos with Chow Kit Lun and Ashin had a soccer ball, which was interpreted as hidden collaboration mystery. Some people speculated that they would sing the theme song of the film, the end credit song and the side track.

Actually as early as 2004, when Chow Sing Chi directed and starred in the film KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU), he has already considered using Jay Chou's songs on the movie soundtrack, but in the end he did not. When Jay shared a photo of them before, he wrote: "Are music and kung fu viable?" It was regarded by the outside world as an official collaboration promotion to make up for the regret from back then.
