Heart War or Xin Zhan by Alan is the theme song of John Woo’s Red Cliff. This epic movie is released in 2 parts as the entire length of the movie is 4 hours! The first part had been released just before the start of Beijing Olympic 2008 and the second part is going to be available in next January. Unfortunately, the first part of Red Cliff got poor reviews by critics and in my opinion, they are too harsh as I found it highly entertaining and I’m looking forward to the second part. My only complain is the ending has left me wanting to watch the other part and that is still 3 months more… The music video [MV] of this song is just like the movie as it’s more than 6 minutes long! However, one can see some of the scenes from the upcoming final part of the movie particularly the burning of the warships which is the most talked about scenes from Red Cliff. Here are the MV and live performance by Alan:
Raymond Lam Fung has released his much-awaited second album, Your Love. This album follows the current trend of most of the new Cantonese albums such as Linda Chung’s debut album where at least one of the songs will be in Mandarin. In this case, it’s a duet, After Tomorrow or Ming Tian Yi Hou, with Vincy Chan and it’s also available in Cantonese version [well, this is a Cantonese album after all]. Your Love also has two theme songs of two recent TVB drama series in which Raymond Lam Fung also starred. Love Isn’t Enough or Ai Bu Gou is the theme song for the currently airing Heart Of Greed 2: Moonlight Resonance while Life Like Water or Fu Sheng Ruo Shui is the theme song for The Master Of Tai Chi.
P.S. A part of the tracklist is translated by a friend of mine, Kai Xin [a young lady who is obsessed with a hairy beast called Lion], who for some reasons keep hiding her sister away from me.
Raymond Lam Fung / 林峰 - Your Love

Yoga Lin You Jia of Xing Guang Bang and Jade Liu Li Yang who both released their debut albums in the first week of last month had a duet called The Legend or Chuan Shuo which was included in both albums. This duet is the ending theme song of the Mandarin version [read: dubbed] of the Korean drama, The Legend, which is also known as The Story Of The First King’s Four Gods. This epic drama was produced with a huge budget of USD$46 million and the whole production took nearly 4 years. This 24-episode series is also the comeback drama for heartthrob Bae Yong Joon, star of Winter Sonata, after his disappointing role in April Snow. In addition to the impressive budget and cast, The Legend had an equally stunning computer-generated images [CGI] for a breath-taking visual effects.
