"If Jay does not mind my lousy Mandarin, I can sing with him ... rap is also fine," he said when asked if he would like to record a song with Chou, who did a duet with older Taiwanese crooner Fei Yu Ching on his latest album.
"As long as he gives me one opportunity, I'll definitely do it ... it is as simple as that," said the 51-year-old Chow.
He was full of praise for his co-star, who was only acting in his second movie after his debut last year in "Initial D."
"He did a lot of good work for this movie... he composed a very good song and I like it very much," Chow said.
"In this show, he acted well and the director was smart to choose him for the role in this movie," he said ahead of the Asian gala premiere of "Curse Of The Golden Flower" in Singapore.
The movie is set in 10th-century China during the Tang Dynasty and stars Chow as the emperor alongside China's first international movie star Gong Li as the empress.
