王菲 - 傳奇 -- Faye Wong - Legend

Faye Wong's comeback has reached its current pinnacle with her performance of 傳奇 (legend) over the Chinese New Years.

As you can see, Faye is a bit older, but still retains her radiant elegance. Especially those psychedelic contacts.

The song itself isn't especially great and I've heard it dozens of times over the past 2 days. Pressing replay whenever I can remember on youtube.

Here's to hoping for some new and fresh Faye for 2010.

王菲 - Faye Wong is Back

王菲 (Faye Wong) is back singing the theme song for the upcoming Confucius movie.

Faye has been missing in action since 2003 (new material). Which isn't super long, but long for her considering how much stuff she released the ten plus years prior from 1992-2003.

The song is pretty nice and its good to hear Faye. Faye is the reason I got into Chinese language music in the 90s. Although music is much less of a priority for me than moving pictures in the entertainment sense, I still like to listen stuff.

Welcome back Faye!

BTW - The picture is a scan of a Faye concert picture book from the 90s.

Chinese Odyssey - 天下無雙

Chinese Odyssey (天下無雙) is a 2002 movie that stars Faye Wong, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Chen Chang, and Wei Zhao (張震, 朱茵, 梁朝偉, 王菲).

The movie is about a brother and sister pair that gets together with another brother sister pair. Does that mean that when they have kids, they kids are not cousins but brothers or sisters?

The movie stars the lovely Faye Wong in one of her few acting roles and Chen Cheng hot on the heals of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame. Tony and Zhao Wei had been pretty established by 2002.

The movie is crude and rude and is a comedy all rolled up into one. In HK cinema, the wuxia stuff is thrown liberally into most films. For this movie, that was the case.

In all, I remember this film being well made, but didn't leave a lasting impression.

I was only reminded of this film because it was a recommended movie for me on Netflix.
