Yang Yang and Li Wei sing for Phoenix Totem

The end of the earth occurred too often,
and forever came too soon
Slice a beam of light, through the makeup of the sky,
and it can’t shine through the facade of lies,
are you like me, once promised, unable to forget?

-Promise by Li Wei and Yang Yang

A graceful ballad of love, “Promise” is a classic ancient drama theme from two young stars – singers Yang Yang and Li Wei. Produced by Yan Danchen (Meteor Shower, Bu Bu Jing Xin) for the Phoenix Totem OST, the song is definitely one of my favorites from 2011. Watch the recently released MV below from @YouTube.

Chen Xiang Confesses in “Hide” MV

In “Hide,” his second single from Confession, singer-actor Chen Xiang tells a story of first love, in which a bookstore worker meets a mysterious girl whose initial impression of him is “pervert.” Played by singer Yang Yang, the girl greets him with a slap on the face, a scene that had to be filmed several times due to continuous NGs. Poor Chen Xiang, but at least he and the MV both look pretty gorgeous.

Watch the MV for his self-composition below, thanks to yunn524@YouTube. A short BTS segment can also be seen here.

Phoenix Totem - Zhang Han and Zheng Shuang

Meteor Shower's Zhang Han and Zheng Shuang travel to the Tang for a brother-sister relationship in their first ancient drama together.

One of the best things about a music company producing dramas is their wonderful OST’s, and this year’s major production Phoenix Totem 凰图腾 for eeMedia is no different. Produced by Yan Yidan (Meteor Shower, Bu Bu Jing Xin, etc.), the three theme songs for Phoenix Totem are sung by Li Wei, Yang Yang, Wu Yi and Huang Ying.

Starring Meteor Shower leads Zhang Han and Zheng Shuang, The Myth’s Bai Bing, and Zhang Mo, and directed by the director of the 1983 Legend of Condor Heroes,  the series tells of

Although Huang YIng is my favorite singer of the four, I must admit the other two songs are much better. What do you think?

The end of the earth occurred too often,
and forever came too soon
Slice a beam of light, through the makeup of the sky,
and it can’t shine through the facade of lies,
are you like me, once promised, unable to forget?

Even though there have been many trailers already for The New Dream of the Red Chamber, the previous ones tried to only convey an moody ambiance. This new trailer actually had dialogue, and shows off the beautiful camerawork and sets. The total costs of production for the 50-episode  series reached 118 million yuan (for comparison, even the elaborate sets of  The Message cost around 50 million yuan), but the producer, sounding much more confident than in previous reports, said that the costs should be definitely recoverable.
