Andy Lau will sing this song in public for the first time at the 30th anniversary of his debut "Andy Lau Unforgettable 2010 Concert".
The film "New Shaolin Temple" is directed by Chen Musheng and directed by Yuan Kui. Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing, Yu Shaoqun, Yu Hai and others co-starred to determine that it will be released on January 19, 2011. It is regarded as the finale of the Spring Festival. The film tells the story of the warlord’s melee era, when Hou Jie (played by Andy Lau), who was originally a warlord, escaped into the air after experiencing the betrayal of his adjutant Cao Man (played by Nicholas Tse) and the pain of his wife’s separation, and worked with monks to protect the victims of the war and the Shaolin Temple.
The theme song "Enlightenment" explains the theme of the film
The theme song of the movie "Shaolin Shaolin" is regarded as a classic film and television song to this day, so how the theme song of the movie "New Shaolin Temple" will be interpreted and who will sing it has attracted much attention. On the 19th, the film’s theme song was finally uncovered and appeared on major radio stations across the country.
"Infinite Mind/Life Blessing/Infinite Limit/Infinite Limit/Life Breath/Love Connection/… Enlightenment/Enlightenment/Wukong/Willingness/Simply walk with you every day." Compared with the old version of "Shaolin Temple", the lyrics of the theme song of "New Shaolin Temple" are more Zen-like, which is in line with the film’s theme of "practicing Zen with martial arts" that has been repeatedly emphasized in the film’s promotion. The style of the song is the perfect fusion of Buddhist music and pop music, which not only allows the audience to experience the artistic conception of "Zen" immersively, awakens the pure heart and compassion, but also catchy melody, which is very easy to sing.
Tianwang Andy Lau’s three-day retreat
According to the director Chen Musheng, the lyrics of the theme song "Enlightenment" are the masterpiece of Andy Lau, the king of heaven. "Originally, we didn’t use the theme song when filming the film, but after cutting the film, I felt that I still needed a song that could express the theme of our film, so I called him and told him what kind of song I wanted, and he readily agreed." What director Chen Musheng didn’t expect was that in just three days, Andy Lau handed over the sample of "Enlightenment" to him.
"I haven’t listened to much music for several years. I think the better movie theme songs are" Painting Heart "and" Chrysanthemum Terrace ", so when I got the sample of" Enlightenment ", I was very surprised and liked it very much. The lyrics and music style are very consistent with the style of our film. I listened to it repeatedly that night." Director Chen Musheng introduced that after he got the sample and listened to it, he called Andy Lau and asked Andy Lau to sing the song in person. "I think only he is the most suitable for singing this song, and I dare to say that this song will definitely become another classic song of his."
