The girl is Tan Jing (谭静). She was once signed by Hong Kong ATV (not sure if it is for their Hong Kong or China Mainland TV production). Later on, Tan Jing made her in Korea after taking part in a Korea TV commercial. Then she signed with a Korea agency as model.

Jay Chou: Kenji Wu is very outstanding but he still needs to work hard

There is one song called "My Biography" in Kenji Wu's new album "Writing A Poem For You", in it he mentions that a lot of artists are going to film movies. Some people have misunderstood this as criticising Jay Chou. When Kenji Wu first came out, he once expressed that he wanted to use 5 years to surpass Jay Chou. Jay Chou expressed: "I remember he said that. I hope he can continue to work hard. I think he's someone who works very hard and really puts his heart into it, from the start when he didn't know how to write to now being able to write his own songs, plus he's quite funny, I think he's already a successful artist."

Everyone sees art differently, filming a movie is also a way to bring out art, you can't say it's not good for artists to film movies. The box office of "Secret" is the best evidence.
