On July 8th， news broke that singer Jay Chou will be joining the Douyin platform， sparking considerable online discussion. Rumors circulated suggesting a staggering nine-figure contract signing amount.
However， according to media reports， Douyin’s relevant personnel have officially denied the widespread claims of a “nine-figure contract with Jay Chou，” stating that the information is untrue and indeed a rumor.
Earlier， the person in charge of the “Jay Chou Fan Club” shared on WeChat Moments that they had confirmed with Douyin’s official team， and that Jay Chou now has a private account on the platform.
The profile for this private account displays an ID of “Zhou Tongxue” (周同学)， certified as a singer. The avatar used is consistent with the official anime-style avatar previously released by Jay Chou.
It’s worth noting that in May 2020， Jay Chou established his first Chinese social media account， “Zhou Tongxue，” on Kuaishou， with a personalized signature proclaiming， “The only one on the entire network， only on Kuaishou.” Within less than a week of joining Kuaishou， his account garnered over ten million followers.
Subsequently， in November 2022， Jay Chou hosted an exclusive online “Ge You Hui” (哥友會) live event on Kuaishou. This broadcast marked his first live performance in three years.
