I saw a clip of this performance.. and it was obvious that his voice was under stress..

shinobi said: ↑

Sunday January 21, 2007 Hong Kong

Hacken Lee was the performing guest at the Miss Chinese International Contest held yesterday evening, but as he was suffering from flu, his voice was only at 60% and of the three songs he sang, only two were performed live as the more difficult song "Princess and Prince" was too hard and he had no choice but to mime to a recording.

Hacken said before the show: "Yesterday when I was in Qingyuan, I could barely speak and before I had already contacted the producer, saying I would cut my performance by half if I could not sing. (Were you worried about the performance being substandard?) Of course I am afraid, so I went to see the doctor and also a Qigong expert and drank some herbal remedies, but the only way to shake flu is by resting, so I will be returning to Hong Kong straight after the show." Hacken believes that this illness was brought on whilst filming for "Beautiful Kitchen Goddess" and he was working too hard. Talking of this year's contestants, Hacken says he has seen them all before and hopes that Aimee Chan will make it into the top three and win some acclaim for Hong Kong, but this may be more difficult with the show not being held in Hong Kong. Talking of his wife Emily Lo taking the first runner up at this contest in 1993, has he spoken to her about this contest? He says that the times are different now and in the past, the pageants were more formal, but there have been a lot of gimmicks in recent years and his wife had the advantage of being the host in those days.

Hacken talks about filming Lady Iron Chef with Charmaine..

shinobi said: ↑

Thursday February 15, 2007 Hongkong

Before the premiere of "Beautiful Cooking" stars celebrated with a traditional Chinese New Year celebration, where boss Wong Jing distributed many red packets as prizes. Amongst those present were Hacken, Yuan Chau, Tat Ming, Zhou Chung, Lau Yeung, etc. Everyone waited for Charmaine to come from the TVB CNY dinner before events started, with the game making 'tong yuen' (glutinous rice balls) competition with new actor Lau Yeung. Hacken, Yuen Chau and Zhou Sheng were asked to judge the competition, but they were busy trying out the sharks fin and asked for a break for them to finish the sharks fin before they went on stage.

The Yumiko Incident

The movie will premiere on March 8th, which is also International Women's Day. Male lead Hacken said that the most lasting impression from this movie, apart from his strange wig, is that it's his first time where his pants fell off on the silver screen. Initially when he saw the script he couldn't bring himself to do the scene - however, he then realized that as an actor he shouldn't have any burdens about this, so he decided to lock away his "idol singer persona" for this movie.

The scene where Hacken's pants fall off talks of Hacken falling from the balcony to the street, with Charmaine grabbing his legs in midair trying to save him, but pulling off his pants in the process. This scene is very similar to Yumiko's accident (at the TVB charity show), to which he replied: "There is no relation between what's in the script and what happened to her". Yumiko, who didn't appear last night, is also in this movie, but Hacken said that he hadn't talked about this scene with her.

In order to avoid unnecessary exposure, Hacken took all precautions before hand, wearing two pairs of underwear as well as boxer shorts. When it came time to film the scene, staff on the set also gave him two pairs of boxer shorts, so when audiences see this scene, he's in fact wearing five pairs of underwear! However he is still slightly embarassed: at the end of the day, he's still an introvert.

He said: "I'm not filming a martial arts film, I don't know why everytime I film a movie there's always a "wire" scene! That scene took an entire night to film, and my pants had to keep falling off, the feeling was very strange and not comfortable, the only time that would normally happen is if i've got food poisoning! (Was Charmaine uncomfortable with the scene?) I don't think she was, and it's easier just to not talk about it! Actually, it wasn't that bad, I was wearing so many layers of underwear."

Topic then changed to filming when crew cleared a street in Mong Kok to film a scene, to which Hacken said he hasn't had a chance to walk the streets of Mong Kok so happily, and that this was a test for them. He said that there wasn't a single incident where they were "asked after" (sworn at) on the street, indicating people were aware who they were and this made him happy. The unhappiest thing for him during the entire filming was that he became ill, and even today he still has a slight cough.

Unsure if he's hosting "Minutes to Fame"

Later, reporters asked if Hacken would continue to host "Minutes to Fame", and he replied honestly that he didn't know. Hacken said that if fate let him do it, he would do it, but at the moment TVB was still considering its options. Perhaps TVB has many hosts in mind, and he was only one of the potential choices. Regarding the rumors that TVB would only choose either him or Joey Leung and not both of them, Hacken once again indicated that he had no idea. Hacken stated that it is like the initial Minutes to Fame series: initially, he didn't have time to host, but at the end he found he could do it, and both him and Joey ended up "picking up the job" after someone else.

Wow.. since the music industry is at such a low.. it's quite an accomplishment for Hacken's album to be the #1 selling album in HK last year..

tis me said: ↑

Singing beyond the skies
March 10, 2007
In the music industry, those that are at the front of the line would be singers. Their songs - can they satisfy the fans and become a hit song for all the years to come? Their image - can new ideas interest the audience so it becomes embedded in their memories? These are the battles that singers face each day, especially now in this gradually withering music industry. Singers have less opportunity to produce albums, often fearing that bad sales will mean waiting another year for another chance or even the opportunity disappearing altogether. So whether or not they are receiving applause, pressure will always be present. George Lam who has reached star singer status and Hacken Lee who has received "Most Popular Male Singer" 3 times, how do they both see the singer's road ahead?

Hacken Lee: Continuously looking for new changes

"Now that consumers are willing to pay HK$5 for a downloadable ringtone, I have confidence that one day consumers are willing to pay HK$8-10 to legally download their favourite songs. At present, this music industry is going through a low and should be reaching its darkest point where there is hope for the birth of a new era. As long as the music industry still exists, everyone will be able to find a new chance." Hacken Lee entered the industry in the 80's during the golden era of music and after 20 years, he is still the supporting pillar of the music world. He has not given up on future of music or singers. Even though popular culture and technology can change the world, people are smart and will also think of ways to adapt.

Breaking the traditional way of selling albums

Hacken reckons that buying and selling songs online will break the traditional way of selling songs. But this method still not widespread, as consumers need to feel that it's convenient and doesn't run the risk of being illegal before downloading. Hacken recalls that he has gone through records and cassettes to reach the CD era. At that time, CDs were being sold for over HK$100 each and had dropped sales. No one looked well on CDs and felt that noone would spend over HK$100 for a cd. However, reality shows that as long as there are good songs and a good presentation, fans are willing to pay. Now in 2007, Hacken believes that CDs will soon become momentos. In the future, watching TV could be done using the internet and homes will soon have mini-cinemas for watching movies. Songs can also be bought instantly over the internet to listen at home.

Finding a way to get music fans to buy

He says "Technology makes life easier for people. That's why the existence of MP3s and I-Pods are for people that prefer convenience and for those that don't ask for acoustic quality when listening to music. H&M is a company that is popular worldwide and coming to HK to open branches is proof that HK consumers attitude is about getting the design they want for cheap. They don't ask for quality. The most important thing is that vermicilli resembles shark fin (Chinese saying). That's why H&M are so popular but still won't affect the sales of Gucci. It's the same reasoning with music. There are those that want convenience. At the same time, there are those that want high quality music. Recently I've made two albums "Hacken Lee Concert Hall" and their sales have been higher than my previous album by 100%. This can prove that there are fans out there that want high quality CDs. But this does not mean there isn't a second way, this cannot work forever and so that is why changes are needed. At the moment, we cannot successfully create a new music and film world so we must find ways to trigger fans to buy CDs."

Changes must be coordinated with advances in time

Hacken feels that at the moment singers don't know how to change. Even record companies are working hard to change to meet with advances. So some record companies are even becoming managing companies to help singers under them develop in other areas.

"To some singers, songs are becoming advertisements. The most important thing is that songs can make the singer a hit and then they can ride on this to film movies, make commercials and even hold concerts to make money. No matter how they do it, singers and record companies are all working hard to keep their existence so they do not perish. The music world has its rises and falls, and everyone needs to get through it. There will be a day when people can relax again. So people, don't worry!"

A small fan meets with Hacken

Hacken is not only a HK singer, he has plenty of fans from across the oceans. During the day of the interview, there was a little fan all the way from San Francisco. Tam Bao Bao was in HK for a holiday and under MingPao's arrangement, she got to get up close with her idol.

Once a small fan sees an idol, what goes through her head? No matter what age, to be able to see one's idol close up, everyone's reaction would be the same - smiling, staring, hands shaking, heart erratically beating, even forgetting to ask for an autograph, in other words happy beyond imagination.

When asked how Tam Bao Bao who lived in America would know Hacken:

She replies in her less than fluent Cantonese "I like watching Yut Ding (Minutes to Fame). Hacken is very funny. I like him singing Red Day. It's nice."

Because of one program or because of one song, people will becomes fans. And to have support from somewhere far far away, that would be the self-satisfaction of being an idol.

Lui Fong Concert
March 11, 2007

Lui Fong's concert "Lui Fong's Love Songs 2007" has 4 shows and opened yesterday, with girlfriend Dodo Cheng arriving early to support him. The special guest for last night's concert was Hacken Lee, who, along with wife Emily Lo, sat in the audience before going onstage in the middle of the concert. Lui Fong's appearance was "The Prince on the White Horse"-like, singing many love songs. Before Hacken performed, he and Emily watched in the audience, sitting next to Dodo Cheng. Lui Fong commented on stage that it's taken him 18 years to hold his own concert, laughing that a fortune teller told him that this would be the good year to hold his concert, and that's why he waited so long. He said he was lucky his fans waited with him for this year. When his fans from the audience shouted "Dodo Cheng", Lui Fong laughed and asked if they had gone to the wrong place - this was HIS concert - to which he received a round of applause from delighted fans!

Hacken at music without frontiers
March 13, 2007

Yesterday Hacken appeared at Harbour City's "Music without frontiers - Charity Harp Concert". Although Hacken does not know how to play the piano, he was taught a few techniques at the concert by Korean harpist Harpist K - and the musically talented Hacken played very convincingly! Coming onto stage the same time as Hacken was a 4 year old harpist called Emily. As Hacken's wife is also called Emily, he laughed and called the little girl his "little girlfriend".

To support this charity event, Hacken donated $50,000 to Medicines Sans Frontiers - a charity he has supported all along. He hopes that others will support this charity too. Hacken and Harpist K had already co-operated on his single "City surrounded by sky and water", and Hacken couldnt' stop praising Harpist K's talent. Previously he had been shown Harpist K's two electric harps, and he was very nervous as he was scared he would break them. Hacken admitted he does not have the talent to play the harp, and regretted not ever learning piano. Because of this, he would definately let his children learn piano. At this statement, the reporter asked if Hacken wanted to have a gold pig baby? He laughed and replied "Ok, I get it!", indicating the topic has been brought up too many times already! Previously Alan Tam had passed lots of secrets to Hacken, telling Hacken to have a child soon. When this topic was brought up Hacken laughed and said: "I dont understand what this whole hanging upside down thing is (apparently it's meant to increase fertility or something =/)，but I'm still that old yet so I'm not worried! (It seems that Alan seems the most anxious to see you have a child) Yes! He's acting like he's my father!"

“Lady Iron Chef” gets low ratings, Charmaine and Hacken not rating guarantees

Charmaine Sheh and Hacken Lee, one is a TV queen and the other is a best male singer, but they cannot guarantee good ratings when it comes to box office movies. Recently, the two of them collaborated in the movie “Lady Iron Chef,” the rating for this movie was not so good, it only took in $880,000 HKD after five days of airing. Charmaine and Hacken are not rating guarantees in box office movies, looks like they need to choose a better movie script for next time.

“Lady Iron Chef” was shown in Hong Kong cinemas since last Thursday, it only received $70,000 HKD on its opening day. TVB fa dan Charmaine and three time best male singer Hacken were not able to pull up its ratings. The fact that “Lady Iron Chef” received average reviews was one of the reasons audience did not want to watch this movie. The movie only took in $880,000 HKD after the first five days.

As for other movies, “Night at The Museum” took in $37.2 million HKD after twenty-six days, it is likely to it will reach $40 million HKD. “The Queen” collected $33.3 million HKD after twenty-eight days. “Ghost Rider” received good ratings, collecting $3.8 million HKD after the first five days.

I just love his attitude.. you can tell that he is grateful that his career got a second chance..

Sunday March 18, 2007 Hong Kong

One is the music world's most popular male singer, the other is the tv industry's most popular female actress. Hacken Lee and Charmaine Sheh have been at TVB for more than 10 years and have been in contact with each other during one Miss HK program. Today the two have cooperated together filming the movie "Lady Iron Chef" and have got to know one another. After rising to "TV queen" status, Charmaine has been involved in endless rumours and even partner Hacken cannot help her. But Charmaine firmly believes that once one is doing their best, then no poisons can harm them.

In the new film "Lady Iron Chef", Hacken plays the rich, arrogant son of a large food corporation owner. Charmaine plays a master of cooking and the two end up falling in love. This was the first time filming with Charmaine for Hacken and he said that she was easy to get along with, professional and punctual and of course she was an artist but great acting skills. Recently, Charmaine has been involved in many rumours and when asked if Hacken was worried filming with her, he said protectively "The media is a fault for much of the news, and they are often not fair to her. I have never seen, nor feel that such things said by the media would involve Charmaine. We chat a lot throughout the day during work."

Hacken does not feature in many movies. He laughs "That's because I'm a singer. I only film if there is a suitable script. Actually I'm just curious, after knowing Wong Jing and Eric Tsang for over 10 years we mostly get together for fun and things but very rarely am I asked to film. They probably think over the past 10 or so years I've never been outstanding in acting." He's good friends with Andy Lau and in the music world there is a bit of friendly competition. But in the movie world, Hacken doesn't dare to try and become "film king" just as yet. He says "Andy had filmed about 80 movies before becoming king. That's too far off for me." When it comes to singing however, he has much more confidence "Even though I've received the best male singer award, I just pretend I haven't. I start over again, each year I want to win."

The themesong for Dicey Business (also sung by Hacken) was one of my favorites.. so I'm really looking forward to hearing this one as well.. I'm so glad that TVB didn't go with one of their other "singers".. HAHA

shinobi said: ↑

Monday March 19, 2007 Hongkong

TVB and CCTV are working together to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China. Together they are producing "The Drive of Life", bringing together actors from Hong Kong and Mainland to create a must watch series. TVB regards this series as highly important and is using the beautiful women: Sheren Tang, Jessica Hsuan, Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu, Gigi Wong and Toby Leung. The gentlemen include: Damian Lau, Michael Miu, Joe Ma, Raymond Lam, Ron Ng and Ng Wai Kwok. This is going to be one of the biggest productions this year. As for the themesong, nothing less can be expected. Hong Kong's Hacken Lee and Mainland's Steve Chou will provide the vocals and Hong Kong's sinfonietta will provide the accompaniment.

Yesterday, Hacken while recording the themesong revealed that "the sky this blue" was composed by Joseph Koo, and that the conductor, Yip Wing Sie, for the sinonietta was an old friend. He laughed "I'm really happy! A big production is looking for a little singer for the themesong. I'm lucky in that since my first album, every album has had 2 or 3 songs which are TVB themesongs. But for something this big. It's my first time." Reporters joked that as TVB's godson, of course he'd be used. Hacken quickly responded "It's different. TVB has so many actors that they were probably afraid of someone becoming jealous and couldn't decide on who to pick. In the end they got me to sing."

Hacken revealed that the themesong would incorporate Mandarin and Cantonese. He would be responsible for the Cantonese and Steve would be responsible for the Mandarin. As Steve has been so busy recently, he doesn't have time to record in Hong Kong. So the two can only record separately and put the audio together afterwards.

Alan & Hacken in dispute owing $820,000; Yiu Wing's investment suffers the reconciliation
Mar 20, 2007

Yiu Wing's investment suffers the reconciliation; Contradict's reason is not accepted

"Father of Concerts" Cheung Yiu Wing, Investment Holdings Limited Company with Impact Entertainment Limited, suffers reconciliation from court orders. Yiu Wing owed Impact Entertainment (International) Limited $820,000, beginning of this year, Impact Entertainment filed for bankruptcy; Yiu Wing points out, Impact and the higher official, Cheung Kwok Chung and Yiu Wing was also involved in other debt lawsuits, if Yiu Wing was proclaimed bankruptcy, then there is no way the lawsuit with Impact to continue, but will not be accepted by the judge.

Involved in another lawsuit with Impact Entertainment

Yesterday Impact Entertainment points, earlier together with region court, pursued Yiu Wing for $820,000 "Left Alan Right Lee Concert" tickets fee, Yiu Wing loses and needs to pay Impact Entertainment. However, Yiu Wing's side points, Impact Entertainment higher official, Cheung Kwok Chung and Yiu Wing had other business dealings, one of the dealings, Yiu Wing points out that in '83, Cheung Kwok Chung and Yiu Wing invested in the movie "The Tigers-The Legend of Canton", guaranteed a profit, but in the end they lost $4,090,000, asking Cheung Kwok Chung to pay. In addition, Cheung Yiu Wing's son, Cheung Wing Sun's company, earlier reported to the court to bankrupt all of Cheung Kwok Chung's companies. On behalf of Yiu Wing, yesterday points out, if they can take back this debt, they will clear the $820,000 debt to Impact, however the judge said the previous business dealings has nothing to do with the current case, and the reasoning was not accepted, so Yiu Wing suffers reconciliation.

Cheung Yiu Wing: feels it is unfair

Yesterday, reporters telephone Cheung Yiu Wing, was asked if he is okay with the result, he says: "I've always thought it was unfair, why is it that when there is profit I get none, but there is a debt, I have to put out even more money? I am not the picky-type of business man, for example when I invested $40,000,000+ money to Chan Yau's company, I never asked for any return, I also never looked through the books, therefore I am not complaining about the little $800,000+, I want to right justice. I repeal the case, and the court case with Impact will start in mid-April, likewise, I hope it will return me with the proper justice." Recently Yiu Wing will hold concert "Lau Fung Ping Concert" but it is not affected, it will continue.

"Alan, Hacken" feeling "helpless"

Yesterday, Alan and Hacken were at TVB and was asked about the case with Yiu Wing's company, as a Trustee for Impact, Alan says helplessly: "I really didn't know, I've known the two Cheungs (Cheung Yiu Wing, Cheung Kwok Chung) for a long time, I've always wanted them to sit down settle things calmly, but in the end it goes to court. I can only say, I am just a small child, I don't know the grown-up business." Alan says there are too many policymakers in the company, so he does not manage, but he has a clear conscience. Hacken also feels helpless because he is unable to help the two parties clear any contradictions.

Hacken "Blows Snow, Raising Smelly Feet"
Alan cheats, Pang Kin Sang says foul word,
Nat, hosting game show, gives goods to buddies

TVB's new show, "Olympic plays smart Pre-game" was recorded last night, the host, Nat gives goods to buddies, Alan Tam, Hacken Lee, Pang Kin Sang, Kenny Bee, who were playing for 1 carat diamond prize. Although in the end no one won the prize, but 10 guests each received $10,000 cash prize. All the guests played seriously---Alan was a bad role model because he was cheating, Pang Kin Sang used a foul word, "Till"; Nat echoed him using "Dill" (vulture). It is a good thing that it is a pre-recorded show, the foul words part will be cut.

The show's played by the guests being split up into two groups, besides question and answer, they also played bow & arrow, basketball, and airgun. When Alan played basketball he was cheating, he wanted to rush forward to put the ball in the basket so he used his hand to block Nat, eventually making one in the basket. Nat laughs and says that Alan's first name is "Mau" (Which means cheater). During question and answer, Pang Kin Sang gives a wrong answer and says a foul word "Till". Ng Ka Lok copies a posture from Felix Wong Yat Wah in "Legend of the Condor Heroes". Nat comments that what Felix did is like the vulture, but what Ka Lok did only one word "Dill".

After the show, Alan laughs that Pang Kin Sang rarely says foul words, but this time he really says it quite well, is the correct Cantonese pronounciation! But Pang Kin Sang denies that he said a foul word, even if it is wrong, he is only saying the english word "Till."

IFPI highest album sales 2006 award ceremony

The IFPI Hong Kong sales award 2006 was held tonight at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. The sales awards were already publicly announced and of them, two of the highest HK sales (male and female) were won by Hacken Lee and Joey Yung. Of the top ten artists, apart from Hacken and Joey there was also Leo Koo, Denise Ho, Grasshoppers, Justin Lo, Kelly Chan, Fiona Sit and Eason Chan. For the highest Cantonese albums sales, Eason's "Get a Life" won. The other in top ten included, Leo's "Human", Hacken's "Live in Concert 2006", Hacken's "Concert Hall", Hacken's "Concert Hall 2", Joey's "Reflection of Joey Life 2005", Joey's "One Life One Love Concert", Grasshopper's "Our Grasshopper 2005 Live Concert", Justin's "One Good Show", Eason's "Get a Life" and Sammi's "Ultimate Collection". Of the top ten highest selling Cantonese albums, Hacken has a total of 3 albums, definately living up to his name of "album sales king". He is sale's best guarantee. Last night, there was also the high selling Mandarin albums being awarded. The highest selling was Jay's "Still Fantasy". Japan's famous Hideki Saijo was the night's guest performer and award presenter. He performed splendidly and also let the ceremony reach a high.

Guests also included the Legislative Councillor, Timothy Fok and international pianist, Li Yundi. Other singers present were George Lam, Teresa Carpio, Fen Nei, Alec Su, etc. Japan's big star Hideki Saijo was also invited and received two awards: Japan's popular music cultural exchange contribution award and Japan's popular music cultural exchange award. During the ceremony, Hacken was the biggest winner with 5 awards: 3 Cantonese high selling awards, a HK high selling award, and a highest selling male singer award. Hacken was surprised by the nights results. He laughed "Tonight was really a bumper crop!"

As for the girls, Joey took the lead with 4 awards: 2 Cantonese high selling awards, a HK high selling award, and a highest selling female singer award. Joey was satisfied with her results for the year but said that she will continuing working so that each year will be better than the last. Joey also praised the Music Fair exhibition for giving the music world a new chance at revival. Unlike a few years ago, fans are no longer chasing after idol singers, Joey is pleased to see that in these few years, the music world is being filled with more singers with talent. Twins didn't go home empty handed either. Of the ten high selling Mandarin albums, Twin's "" was the only HK album. When Twins were backstage to accept an interview, something happened that alarmed the entire backstage. While Gillian was answering questions, Ah Sa suddenly slid off her chair sacring Gillian and causing her to scream. Ah Sa was close to crying and the entire scene was awkward.

Japan star Hideki Saijo is close to 60 but still charismatic. By raising a hand or taking a step, he fulfils his great star status. Hideki Saijo also noticed that Hong Kong's music world has had an increase in talent in new singers. They have definately improved since the last time he saw them. He also praised Eason and when Eason heard he was so happy he couldn't speak. He would have never thought that a senior would praise him so. The hopefuls Vincy and Hins were the winning newcomers. The two newcomers may save Hong Kong's music industry. Their beautiful voices and musical talent has already moved many of Hong Kong's hearts. Watching them on stage singing "wind blows a while" in Chinese and Japanese, the audience were captived completely. They definately earned their award. Alec has had a change of image, deciding to present with a mature look. He said "I'm no longer that young, I have to dress a little more maturely."

Hacken Lee is Album Selling King 06

The night before when Hacken was singing, he almost got hurt from the firework effects, as for being the big winner, Hacken expresses: "It is very hard/rare to have such good results, it really is unprecedented, I released an album that uses all HiFi, paving in a new road." When asked if he was afraid that other artists will follow behind him, he says: "Not scared, the market is so large, if someone feels they can do it too, then do it, can ask me for any opinions anytime." When asked if he gets a good bonus for all the top-selling albums, Hacken replies: "I don't know, my accountant will help me calculate, I want to suggest to the company to give me a raise." Hacken's contract with Universal is almost complete.
