Show Lo had gone through a trough in his career before, but yesterday in his home town KeeLung, his record company Gold Typhoon renewed their contract with their precious treasure, which made him extremely touched, but the tears in his eyes were from laughing at the press conference host, Jacky Wu, who rarely hosts to support artists.

Show Lo signed a contract of 3 albums and $80 million in his renewal with Gold Typhoon. The record company showed their sincerity in keeping the "Dance King," burning over $1 million to invite media from all over Asia to come to the Keeplung port where the press conference was held. He was chauffeured in a red Ferrari F430 Spider, and with a 21 Gun-Salute, he arrived on the "He Fu Lun" (ship), which took one day off for this purpose. And also the rarest of opportunities, having not hosted a press conference for an artist for at least 10 years now, Mr. Jacky Wu Tsung Hsien hosted, and was said to have only accepted a very low amount of pay of just $88,888(NTD) due to their friendship.

Show sentimentally expressd, "My feelings are all jumbled. Just thinking about how back then, lots of record companies didn't want me, they'd frown and scratch their heads, 'This artist that is so comical (from variety shows), how would we work with him?' But now record companies are happy to collaborate with me, and continue to want my collaborating with them, it truly makes me happy." In receiving the "KeeLung's Bright Light" award, Show also comically said, "I was a very mischievous kid, I never would've thought that I'd be able to get this award from the mayor." His mother was also there to witness the event. Being at the railway of which his late father had worked before, Show was especially sentimental.

Jacky summed up, "In showbiz, it's all about socializing with people you're familiar, and those you're not," which highlighted the preciousness and how praiseworthy Show Lo's being able to break the mode and advance to becoming an idol is. Show said that he and Mr. Jacky Wu have shared a revolutionary memory together, "At the time, during that time I had contract issues, Hsien Ge had chatted with me, and also got me to act in 'Detective 2 and a Half'....only later he found Jay Chou and gave up on me." At that time, he complimented, "His shoes were nice." Jacky then took them off to give to him. He complimented, "That leather jacket looks nice," Hu Gua also took it off to give to him. These are all things that Show have taken to heart to this very day, from the grand demeanor of his seniors.
