  • As Time Goes By

    Wednesday, May 18, 2011 5:30PM / Members only

    "Popular songs don't often get a second chance, especially when they fail the first time around. Its inclusion in one of America's best loved movies transformed "As Time Goes By" into one of our most popular songs twelve years after it initially flopped."
    Herman Hupfeld wrote "As Time Goes By" for a Broadway musical play in 1931. In the original show, it was sung by Frances Williams. "As Time Goes By" had been part of the story from the original play. When Warner Bros. turned the play into a movie, they kept the song because Warner owned the publishing rights. The song was re-introduced in 1942 in the film "Casablanca", it was sung by Sam (Dooley Wilson) in the movie, but Wilson could neither play piano nor sing. Warner considered giving him lessons but eventually decided to let him sing only and dub his piano playing by pianist Elliot Carpenter. Composer Max Steiner, hired to write the movie's score, thought "As Time Goes By" was weak and conviced the producer to let him write his own composition to replace it, but the actress Ingrid Bergman had already cut her hair short for her next role in another film and could not re-shoot the scenes which incorporated the song. "As Time Goes By" survived by the timing of a haircut.

  • 都是那些日子（二）

    Thursday, Mar 17, 2011 9:45PM / Members only

    自1996年因緣際會成立自己的廣告製作公司Astor Productions起，旨在為客戶提供度身訂造的設計及製作，對所有合作伙伴、員工，以致自己均要求嚴謹，務求做到不單只客戶滿意，就連整個工作團隊對於絞盡腦汁、日以繼夜創造出來的製成品都感到驕傲。雖然不是每個人會欣賞或認同，但若作品能廣傳甚至被爭相仿效，再辛苦也覺值得。就是本著這個理念，憑著一股傻勁與熱誠，找上幾個志同道合的戰友創造出一個又一個的所謂奇蹟，哪怕在別人眼中可能只是一個微不足道的用品，但箇中的滿足感和喜悅，相信任何一個從事創作的人，大概也會會心微笑。

  • 巧合

    Monday, Jan 3, 2011 2:06PM / Members only

    踏入春天，是香港流行性感冒的高峰期季節。公司全體同事從四面八方或不同途徑感染流感，連不一定在辦公室工作的我亦不例外，我愛看電影和天生敏感，在冷氣十足的戲院被傳染了。結果無一倖免！不幸中之大幸是沒有同事因病請假，仍然盡力緊守岡位，真正發揮團隊精神；作為製作總監，各同事能產生互動效果，提升工作效率，實感安慰。

    很多朋友可能不知道我在求學時期曾經修讀醫學護理(Medical Nursing)，機緣巧合展轉涉足出版界、廣告界、唱片界、公關界，以致I.T.界，台前幕後，發展成今日的多媒體製作監製，很難想像與香港流行女歌手楊千嬅一起在醫院共事的日子，更難想像彼此從不同的途徑踏入娛樂圈，但又偶爾在相同所屬的唱片公司或錄音室重遇。

    巧合的還有在醫護界任職期間認識的耳鼻喉專科醫生Victor Wong，我某年為香港十大傑出青年週年晚宴擔任表演嘉賓獻唱時我們在席間相遇，才知道他的太太是名人查小欣的胞妹。現在大約每年三月轉季，總會因鼻敏感或喉嚨痛藉以順道探訪已成為我和家人的家庭醫生這位老朋友。更巧合的是，他是本地很多有名的歌手的專用醫生呢！

    特意趕緊在一月一日前完成手上所有想完成的各種工作，其中包括錄音。本來計劃在平安夜寫一篇關於一個普天同慶的故事，但一直專注於錄製自己的新唱片事宜，唯有擱置動筆。因為總是有一兩首歌未能達到自己的要求，雖不像上一張唱片《forever young．forever love》錄製進度那樣順利，但能得到老闆的信任和「縱容」，快將推出的新唱片相信更充分反映出方文對音樂的任性與堅持。最後終於理想地在三十號前完工，鬆一口氣之餘，還可以在三十一日晚除夕夜從容地走到中環國際金融中心前拍煙花照！而且意想不到的是，居然幸運地輕易找到一個絕佳的拍攝位置，就正正對著國金！明顯不是那些有預謀地一早排隊輪候的攝影發燒友，只是慣性地隨便帶備了一部舊式小相機。因為家人剛巧農曆生日，這樣千載難逢值得紀念慶祝的好日子，才到街上隨意走走，邊感受著等候倒數的氣氛，邊說著過去一年的大小事情，悲喜交集。不久，聽見四周人群開始倒數，就在這個時候，那部小相機居然亮起更換電池警告訊號燈！猶豫之際，竟不期然緊張起來！最後連忙更換備用電池，幸好總算趕得上，拍了多張得意Snapshot。看著眼前幻變的「2011」字樣燈飾與璀璨奪目的煙火相輝映，實在美不勝收，倍覺幸福。在新的一年的第一天，終於安靜的坐下來動筆，希望好好記下這美好的一天。新的一年象徵新的開始，祝願你我有個好開始！

  • 都是那些日子（一）

    很多記者及歌迷們或許有點疑惑，紛紛來信詢問或在專訪中總是提及我的入行經過或我與樂隊《天織堂》的關係。依稀記得當時曾經獲得多個歌唱比賽獎項，並於93年獲得加州紅＆BMG全港公開歌唱大賽冠軍後簽約經理人成為全職歌手。因緣際會擔任了《天織堂》客席主音，簽約華星唱片。
    其實《天織堂》推出第一張大碟時只有兩人，Henry & Jenny；入行前Jenny 和我早在港台一個歌唱大賽時認識，其後我倆不約而同簽了同一間公司。再後來唱片公司把《天織堂》宣傳為雙主音，實際上我只客串了幾首歌，歌曲計有「搖搖擺擺」Unplugged 版、「接納心歡喜」國語版等；其中一首上榜歌「找一晚快樂」粵語版是商台廣播劇的主題曲， 《天織堂》亦於同年獲得商台叱吒生力軍組合銅獎及TVB最受歡迎創作歌手銅獎。
    其後《天織堂》轉投新藝寶唱片，推出了第二張大碟；我就轉簽BMG唱片作個人發展。我們三人昔日的照片和原版「找一晚快樂」及「白貓黑貓」只有在華星的卡拉OK碟才可找到了。至於「白貓黑貓」我是和音，「搖搖擺擺」Unplugged 版就有幾個，我唱的版本只在電台宣傳時播放，基於合約所限，沒有出版。
