This is the 2nd part of (behind the scenes) to my music video,still got lots to do but not enough time. That really bugs the hell outa me. when i know deep in my heart that i can reach a higher standard no matter in terms of plot ,computer graphics or script, but due to the deadline that i have to meet, i simply can't deliver the 100% outcome...sigh...The new album should be released in may ,but if i want to perfect my MV in terms of graphics wise i need 4 more months which i don't have. It might be another  typical (virgo)  thing. I spent alot of time in designing the cover and the visual effects this time but then again, due to distribution contracts i would have to release the album in 2 phases. The 1st one, the standard CD format blah blah...and the 2nd one i designed in LD version with all the CD/ DVD / MAKING OF..such and such. But i promised myself that even after the album is released doesn't mean that it's over. I will keep on working on in until i am satisfied. Guess one just can't win every battle. Alot of people ask me why does this video have to take place on a flight carrier, because i see life itself as WAR. And i can only think of a jet carrier as the best metaphor. At every stage of life you have to risk for something and fight for something. Every pilot that gets sent out onto a mission doesn't know if they will win or lose, or even make it back home. But what really matters is if they have the guts to get in the ring. As in every album, movie, or even learning more about myself or my family, it's a long journey.

It's been 3 years since I've released a new album,some say that I've given up on music others say i don't have the hunger for it anymore. Well to me music is not something that you can ditch out anytime anywhere although the Hong Kong music companies has a habit of forcing the artist to release atleast 2-3 albums per year. I just think that one must have the time to experience ups and downs on different stages in life, In order to actually have something to imput into that album. An album is NOT something for an artist to sustain their popularity or simply just to bargain an award, For me it's history! It's a milestone to that stage and moment of your life that you want to express through music.But by defending that principle it has been a tough 3 years just arguing with my company and all that crap why i'm not releasing. The past 3 years, i went from single.....to married.....to having a son....to knowing myself a lot more and these are the things i wanna share through music. Not the usual someone writes some melody and lyrics and hand it over and ok  i'll release that although i have absolutely no idea why i'm attached to that topic. I've always thought of life itself is like war....everyday, every stage is about how u wanna reach a goal and then defend it. Over these past 3 years i found out that for the past 28 years in my life i have actually never done a project with my father. Maybe it's because i've been  trying to avoid that shadow of living in my father's name. Then one day i realized that he is 75 years old and doesn't matter if  i have surpassed that shadow what matter  is my father and that i should be proud of it and not hide that fact that i am his son. So i wrote a script for my MV and had a concept and invited him as a special guess apperance. The details of  the story i will tell later on but it doesn't matter how it turns out, what matters is that i or(we) had a great time during the shoot and that i know i will never regret simply because i made good memory with my father and we fought this battle TOGETHER. It tough watching a love one age and hear them say that they are expendible. But pulling this dream together? it wasn't easy. My vision was to shoot on a flight carrier and have fighter jets skim through the city and have my father as the fleet general. So in this MV, I played as a pilot and not knowing the general that i hated was my father, he kept the fact away from me just because he wanted to make me stronger and not have emotional side effects while he sends me off to missions, after the first mission where he triggered another jet to challenge me in mid air without me knowing i hated him even more.Then he found out that i had health problems so he pulled me off the 2nd mission and i got pissed not knowing there was a reason. I had a surgery while i was conscious and it went well. so he put me back onto the 2nd mission which was to have a new prototype jet break the atmosphere and hit outer space. Of course i succeeded but i didn't know that my return engine was malfunctioned and fell off during the sonic boom. I finally found out that he was my father after i had complete the last mission but was not able to head home....so the only and the last word that i had ever said to him was calling him Dad through the monitors in the control room. That's the summary but of coarse there will be much more in it. Enough said about what i want! How on earth am i gonna do such a big budget music video while the whole word having financial problems and debts..The minimum cost  for this video was in the millions and i thought. here we go again! The aiming too high habit has kicked in AGAIN. But i defended it, cause i wanted to give it all since this might just be the last and only project i can do with my dad, i talked to alot and i mean ALOT of sponsor and worked on  computer graphics for awhile..i think i made it. The post production is still in progress but i think it should make my dad proud. Just the smile i saw on his face when i lead him into my studio and said "you've taken me into alot of your sets. now it's my turn. take a look at mine!" I saw  relief....I saw an old man feeling that he didn't waste his time on a fool,well? for now..18350 frames of computer graphics needs to be done and i have a dead line to meet. So...every second right now i am still scared of not knowing  how the outcome would be. But as i said I defended my dream, and will do for the rest of my life cause that is me!!!!

Yes,  yes...... i know it's been a long time that i have not  blogged.Thx  for all the comments and sorry for the wait.I've been busy recording my new album and promoting my new movie premiering on the 20th of November in mainland China and on the 27th worldwide. I am TIRED------but then it's my job. New movie named THE BEAST STALKER should be a surprise to those who have only seen the tough side of Nicholas and not the soft side,as i remember it's been about 9 years since I've dropped a tear on screen. For all u action fans out there well...this ain't one of them but i swear this project was actually the most tiring out of all the movies that I have made,  both mentally and physically.It was mentally and physically forced into a state where i hated myself and depressed.Even after work i go home still trembling that i felt like i needed to do something ridiculous. The movie starts off  me being a perfectionist  (as in real life----virgo thing --sigh!) I am cop making the most simple mistake, killled a 5 years old child through friendly fire.That was the 1st scene of the movie so i had to live in that state of mind for 5 months.....booo!.But on the other side I've actually been waiting on a role and scrīpt like this one, although i havn't seen the final product but i think that it should be a  break through. Fighting against yourself emotionally and mentally is a lot tougher than fighting or doing stunts that i just realized. Many thanks... to the crew members, and the director. No matter of the outcome the box office THANK YOU!!! .As for music fans,,,,,,Yes i am preparing my new album and have 2 more songs to go, so that's what i've been doing all this time after the last blog entry. I still insist on being stubborn and taking time on making an album that i can live with. Music is different than the movies to me. In movies u are speaking or acting another persons point of view or atleast ur doing what the director tells u to do. But in music--'MUSIC IS PERSONAL'   to the point where every album should be a milestone instead of releasing albums year or months just for publicity and the (SO CALLED AWARDS) cough! cough!....3 years now that i've not released a new album, many of my fans think I'm slacking off or simply lost the love for music. I have NOT ....but I do hate promotion!!!! repeating the same crap over and over again and simply i think what if music itself could be said in a few sentences than why bother making an album(doh!). Some reporter asked me then why now? I guess i have reached a new stage in life? married? got a son? Everything changes and that......gives u something to write about , to sing about and to deliver. Instead of singing from a sheet of paper full of meaningless lyrics that is irrelevant to ur life.  Anyways that's me..thanks for all your patient and hope to see u all on the big screen soon!!!!
