• Continuing on with SCOTTIE'S SECRET LOVE story…

  Friday, Mar 6, 2009 2:08PM / Standard Entry

  After a few busy months, I now have time to continue with my last story on SCOTTIE’S SECRET LOVE…  Well, it has all started with a brief that I got from my client, right before last Christmas Eve, to make a presentation film to relay the key message that “Yahoo is Your Daily Partner and Your Essential Media”.  The challenge I was facing was that I only had about 2-3 weeks to deliver the film from scratch and to compile a whole lot of other supporting messages into the video.  This short working lead time was challenging enough, not to mention that the 3 weeks happened to include the Christmas and New Year holidays!  And after I’ve got 10x different DVDs, a big folder of facts and a few pages of detailed brief from my client, it had taken me a couple of days to just digest those information.  While I was worried that I didn’t know how to wrap everything up nicely to relay all those messages, a classic Mandarin number, 如果沒有你 Ru Guo Mei You Ni sung by 白光 Bai Guang, suddenly came to my mind.  It is a beautifully romantic song that literally translates into the meaning of “If I don’t have you, how can I go on”…  Immediately I thought this would be very suitable to use to convey my client’s desired messages.  So I quickly wrote the following lyrics down.

   

  “If I don’t have you How can I go on
  My heart will break Nothing can I do no more

  
  (Chorus)
  No matter work or for fun (Yahoo!)
  Big things or little ones (Yahoo!)
  So long as I have you (Yahoo!)
  You make my life such a joyous one (Yahoo! Yahoo!)    

   

  I then go to my very talented friend Scottie for help.  Scottie then introduced me to his musical genius friend Justin to design the contemporary re-mix and produce the song for me with ME and Justin singing the vocals.  Wow, that was my once-in-my-life chance to fulfill my dream of being a singer so I was very delighted by the idea!  And besides having the wonderful appearance of Scottie and Justin in my film, I’ve also invited my mum, my dad, my 2 dogs (Wong Wong the Shitzu and BB the Poodle), my nephew Hayden (the little boy) and the beautiful office lady Dilys, who is my good friend and ex-colleague, to appear in the film.  The only actress in the film who is an employee of Yahoo is the teenage girl.  She was in fact only styled to look like that and I think she was great too!

   

  Following is the end video that I did with the help of my wonderful friends and family.  I’ve also put the original version of the song here too just for reference.

  What more can I say but “IF I DON’T HAVE YOU, HOW CAN I GO ON….”  Thank you mum and dad!  Thank you to my families and friends who are always supportive to me.  And a BIG THANK YOU goes to AIYA! (Scottie Hui & Justin Lim), the new comedic duo who will carry on the legacy of Sam Hui (locally known as the "King of Cantopop") by remaking his hit songs from the 70's to the 80's with English lyrics and in the style of modern day Western pop music, for their great support!

   

  In fact, coming up in my next blog will be all my thought and work processes on the new music video that I have had the honor to do for these two wonderfully talented young men - the “10 Pretty Girls” mv !  Watch out for it!

• Scottie Hui's Secret Love (Exclusive Breaking Story)

  Saturday, Jan 10, 2009 10:41PM / Standard Entry

  I thought Scottie Hui, the youngest son of Sam Hui
  (locally known as the "King of Cantopop") had told
  everyone that he was engaged already, but I found out
  that he has recently got involved in a new love affair! 
  Here are some photos to prove this breaking story.
  This was how it happened...
  
  Late one night, while Scottie was still working, he and
  his dog suddenly felt that they deserve some tender
  loving care...
  
  Scottie told his dog, BB, that he had an idea...
  
  In the Yahoo's Dog Community section, he wrote
  in his blog that...
  
  His kissed his dog good luck and hopes that
  his plan would work...
  
  And so it did!  Someone was interested in this
  proposition.
  
  Beautiful Miss WongWong is at a suitable age
  to look for a spouse. 
  
  On the next day, her beautiful mum decided to
  respond to the call that she saw in Scottie's blog...
  
  After intensive waiting... here they come!!!
  
  While Scottie pretended to stay cool, BB couldn't...
  
  "Daddy, Daddy, I want her!"  BB signaled to
  his daddy and Scottie whispered back into
  BB's ear "I know son, so do I..."
  
  What a happy ending for all of them!  BB has
  found beautiful Miss WongWong to be his wife
  and Scottie was also happy as he enjoyed the
  company of his beautiful 'in law"! 
  
  Justin Lim (who is Scottie's singing partner in
  "AIYA!", a new comedic duo who will carry on
  the legacy of Sam Hui by remaking his hit
  songs from the 70's to the 80's with English
  lyrics and in the style of modern day Western
  pop music) was happy to be their chauffeur since
  he had just bought this beautiful car from the
  Yahoo! Auction page for cars!
  
  But shhhhhh, please don't tell Scottie's fiancee!
  
  
  Disclaimer:  All of the above are in fact part of the story
                      which I  have created to promote the
                      various different properties of Yahoo!
  
                      Both BB and Wong Wong are MIINE!  And
                      WongWong is NOT a girl!  The pretty girl
                      is called Dilys.  She is my ex-colleague at
                      both Celestial Pictures and at InMagazine!
                      The great looking Minicooper belongs to
                      Scottie's daddy!
  
                      What a joy it was to work with such fine
                      artists!  And what a great way to start 2009!
  
                      HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

• The Greatest Love

  Thursday, Sep 4, 2008 12:18AM / Standard Entry

  Over a year ago, I have shot an mv for the Christian

  Broadcast Ministry in Hong Kong.  It is eventually

  completed! 

   

  Why did it take so long? It is because it is basically

  a charity job.  I was given a 5 min demo song to plan for

  and to shoot to, only to be told after I have finished with

  the editing of a 5 min mv, that 5 min is in fact too long

  which will limit its exposure!

   

  So I had to wait for half a year for them to give me a

  new 3 min version song (as they are at the mercy of the

  time table of the volunteer music arranger too).  After I

  have finished editing the 3 min version, it was the turn of

  the graphic artists’ heavy schedule that we had to wait for... 

   

  But overall, with this no-low budget production, we are all

  quite happy with its end effect.  Please note that this Cantonese

  song is really sung by Corinna K. Chamberlain (陳明恩) who

  is a Hong Kong born Australian with a tremendous passion for

  all forms of arts. Her Chinese name of 明恩 actually means

  "understanding and grace". Corinna was awarded an Advanced

  Diploma in Performing Arts after completing very successfully

  her 4 years of studies at the HKAPA in June 2006 majoring in

  Musical Theatre.  She is a contract artist of TVB at the moment

  and I hope you’ll like this song of hers.

   

  We feel blessed that we’ve got a lot of volunteer helpers on this

  production and THE GREATEST LOVE is actually about

  Father God's love to all of us.       

   

  Blessings!
