    Eason Chan singing underwater for 4 hours

    Eason Chan was shooting for the MV to his new song <無人之境> in the water. The director hoped to express the MV through weightless space and presented the idea to Eason who had always loved challenges. Eason was requested to sing the song while being underwater, he immediately accepted the challenge. During filming, the temperature was only 12 degrees C, Eason was continuously underwater singing for 4 hour, he also had to do several different expressions to accommodate scene. A great challenge singing underwater, every time he opens his mouth to sing, water would get inhaled while bubbles would result from exhaling. Eason's greatest record for singing underwater was 1 minute and 1 second, it only took one take to complete the shot. After filming, he frankly said that it was difficult because underwater it was hard to see clearly, but have to sing with emotions, he depended on feelings to do the singing.

    Eason will be holding a concert March 2010, it was announced before that his 3 shows in 6 days were added to 12 shows, breaking the 2008 record. Eason was only worried that there won't be enough tickets to accommodate friends and family who pre-ordered them, therefore he asked his company to add more, giving him more tickets to book.

    That's is FOOOOKING amazing?
    Singing underwater for 1 min and 1 sec? Is that a translation problem, how do you sing and hold your breath?

    ^ Not all MVs have you actually sing the song, it's a lip sync to it.. like pretending you're singing it.

    Yea, it's only lip-syncing. We can't generate sound through water.

    -_- Really????@@!!!!

    But what I meant was that even lip-sync, you still have to open your mouth... 1 min and 1 sec is impressive nonetheless
