Soler Wins Nicholas to Sing Themesong of 'Dragon Tiger Gate'

Saturday April 29, 2006 Hong Kong

After being invited by Donnie Yen, Soler will be singing the theme song for the new and anticipated movie ‘Dragon Tiger Gate’. A great conference was held to announce the good news. Nicholas, who was earlier rumoured to be fighting over the position of singing the theme song, did not attend the conference yesterday as he was working in mainland. His manager, Mani said, “The movie company wants to promote this announcement and if it helps the movie, I do not mind.”

Singing duo, Soler’s popularity has been rising and now that they have also stepped into the movie industry, they are extremely happy. As they will be also managing the production on the song, they have told Paul Wong to write the lyrics.

The song will be expected to be released to the public in June as the movie will be airing in July. Donnie will be the filming the MV for Soler as well. At the conference, Soler was given crystal, worth $300 000 by Donnie. In return, Soler presented Donnie with a pair of jeans which has a golden tiger printed on it.

When talking about composing a song for a movie for the first time, Soler said, “The song will have a fast beat. (The theme song?) Donnie wants it to be done like overseas productions where the movie has a lot of songs. (Donnie will be filming the MV!) We really want to be able to learn something off him. (Will you guys be paid?) Being able to participate is already great regardless if we get paid or not.”

Regarding Nicholas not attending the event, through a phone call, Mani said, “Nicholas is busy filming ‘大人物’ and will then be working on ‘敗家仔’, so he does not have time to come back to Hong Kong. (But it’s the matter of being able to sing the theme song or not!) The conference is just a promotion. Nicholas does not have time to compose songs!”
