THE music video production of Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou’s new song, Greatest Works Of Art, cost US$500,000 (RM2.2mil), China Press reported.
The music video is said to be Chou’s biggest budget production.
It was shot at Samaritaine, a large department store in Paris, France, that comes with modern and vintage decor.
The venue was scouted when he filmed the music video for Love Confession six years ago.
Chou’s team was also able to get the store’s management to agree to putting an antique piano on the building’s top floor.
Eagle-eyed netizens recognised the grand piano and said it was worth T$30,000,000, which is about RM4.45mil.
