Lover & musical

David's Shanghai concert got off to a great start & in 3 days has already taken in 3m rmb. Daphne is sponsoring all his concerts in China & has even organised a countrywide contest in all its stores in 21 chinese cities to look for his 'ideal lover'. The winner will not only be able to sing Marry Me Today onstage with David in his concerts but will also has the opportunity to be vj on Channel V or act in a TV series. There will be a winner for each city the concert is held. At the moment only Shanghai & Nanjing are confirmed but concerts are also being planned for Changsha, Quangzhou & Chengdu.
David again expressed his disappointment in the chinese music industry saying that it was too 'changeable', the market is growing bigger but the quality is falling. Asked if he will consider being producer instead, he said he is not interested as he finds it difficult to express his thoughts through another singer. Also writing & producing for singers who cannot sing give him a headache ^__^ Actually David first got into singing cos he was tired of producing for singers who sang badly. Looks like things haven't changed & David has always maintain high standards in the recording studio.
David said he has written half the script for his movie & that it will be 音樂劇 meaning musical which kinda surprising. I nvr expected him to film a musical as its not the easiest genre to film. But the good news is that there will definitely be an OST to look foward to *__* As for a new studio album, David said flatly he hasn't done anything cos he is not motivated. He really is the limit ^__^ Which popular singer in today's fickle market dared to arbitarily decide he is not going to come up with an album & instead take 2 yrs off to film a movie? Most singers will be terrified that the market will forget them with so many young, packaged idol singers coming out all the time. Faye Wong is probably the only one but even she will find it hard now to achieve the kind of sales & popularity she had in the past. But David just coolly said that if his movie flop & nobody wants to listen to his songs, then he will go into real estate in China :P

Haha, the last line is funny and totally genious! Yay, I love musicals so I can't wait!

P.S. I rarely listen to Faye Wong, but I do think that she's a legend and can always come back. She's beautiful.
