Xia Chun Yong (Jimmy's eariler manager) saw Jimmy for the first time in a
                                commercial where Jimmy wasn't the lead but a background actor walking pass in a
                                short scene, but this left a deep impression in Xia Chun Yong. He felt that this 17-year-
                                old boy is really 'pretty'. Through some connections, he managed to ask Jimmy if he
                                was interested to go for an audition and release an album, but Jimmy gave a straight
                                reply, "No."
                                Although being rejected, Xia Chun Yong was sure that Jimmy will be popular, thus he
                                tried ways and means to persuade him to go to the recording studio for an audition.
                                After the audition, Xia invited Jimmy to his office nearby for a
chat. It was still raining heavily. Jimmy suggested Xia to drive there first, while he'll
ride his motorbike over. But Xia said, "Never mind, I'll ride on your motorbike, you
will send me there." Jimmy said anxiously, "But I only have one raincoat." Xia just
said, "It's ok, I don't need a raincoat." When Jimmy heard this, he said, "Then we'll
both go without a raincoat."
The two of them finally arrived in the office all wet. Before they went up, Xia went
to a Giordano shop next door and bought a shirt and pants for Jimmy, as well as a
big towel for him to dry himself. While he was drying himself, he looked at Xia who
was equally wet and felt very sorry. He asked, "What about you?" Xia replied, "I'm
an adult so it's ok. You're still young. It won't be good if you catch cold." At that
                               moment, Jimmy was moved by Xia and agreed.
                               Xia took full charge of arranging Jimmy to enter the circle with
                               swift ascent. Xia personally chose the materials for his
                               costumes and found a trusted fashion designer who designed a striking red coat with
                               white sleeves for him. Also, there's another colourful coat specially prepared for him.
                               At that time, these types of clothes are considered old-fashioned as clean and
                               simplicity was the IN thing but Xia was determined to be different from others.
                               Under Xia's careful arrangements, Jimmy's entrance whipped up a great storm in 
                              showbiz. His album, photos, posters caused a flood of hysteria among his fans.
