“We Wanna Buy A Flat!”

 It is an urban legend that the previous generation of Hong Kong citizens have switched from poverty to prosperity by the method of: Save money -> Buy apartment -> Sell apartment -> Buy apartment again!  So, is an apartment a blessing or a curse to a Hong Kong person?  Five innocent young adults have pledged to live up to this dream of buying an apartment together!  Let us watch closely their youthful journey of no regrets!

《五個買樓的少年》

傳說上一代香港人都是這樣脫貧發達的：儲錢→買樓→賣樓→再買樓。一層樓，是護身符，還是緊箍咒？五個大想頭的後生仔，身體力行，實踐獅子山下核心價值觀，心口刻上「勇」字，向著人人夢寐以求的「一層樓」出發。讓我們屏息靜氣，觀看他們輕狂無悔的歷程！

Hi Hi, long time no update!  I miss all of my friends here on AnD!!

I've just finished shooting a drama for RTHK, titled <五個買樓的少年> ("We Wanna Buy A Flat!"), for which I am the producer.  The program will be starring Steven Cheung 張致恆, Roy Chow 周永恒, Shiga Lin 連詩雅, Hinson Chou 周子揚 and Terence SiuFay 小肥.  It will be aired in Hong Kong in May!  I will give you more updates soon but in the mean time, you may enjoy the following scene shots for your sneak preview!

Over the past months, not only have I been busy re-writing the screenplay and doing preparation for my debut feature movie, I was also doing some odd freelance jobs.  For example, it was a joy to work with so many talented young Christian artists to promote the Noah's Ark Park and Resort at Ma Wan!

And I also had the honor to direct some of the segments for AXN's E-Buzz program last summer, starring the beautiful Mrs. Daniel Wu (Lisa S.) and the amusing Filipino showsman, Rovilson Fernandez!!

I hope I will be able to give you more updates about my debut movie soon!  Please cover me with your prayers!  Bless ya! ;-)

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!
