"Love In Disguise"

Even before the premiere of Wang Lee Hom's self directed and acted movie "Love In Disguise", the fans on Weibo has reached almost 17,000; fans are also highly anticipating the release of "Love In Disguise" pictorial book on the 21st, with the official website kicking off on the same day.

Currently Weibo fans for "Love In Disguise" has almost reached 17,000; this number is significantly high when compared to the Weibo figures for other Mainland movies. Director-cum-actor Wang Lee Hom will be holding a book signing on 31st July, starting the promotional activities for the movie. Towards the film's release during summer, Wang Lee Hom expressed confidently that while America has musical movies like "High School Musical", this (type of films) seldom appear among Chinese films so he believes that after the premiere of "Love In Disguise", the response from the audience would be good.

"Love In Disguise" revealed conceptual posters before the Shanghai Film Festival, but its official posters took a long time to be released. Director Wang Lee Hom was not only anxious at being unable to settle on the poster, he also nitpicked on the design of the poster. In his quest for perfection, the script was only confirmed after 53 versions, and 4 designers were asked to submit designs for the poster, proposing 25 posters with different styles with the official one finally released after numerous changes. The posters for "Love In Disguise" released today targets the different societies in Taiwan and Mainland China, designed for different ways of presentation.

"Love In Disguise" which will be premiering on 13th August, talks about a superstar Wang Lee Hom who despite seeming to be very successful in his entertainment career and having a smooth life, yet he feels empty and regret deep in his heart. Once, his nanny van (褓母車) hit a folk music student Crystal Liu Yi Fei, and the strange action of Liu Yi Fei not checking on her injuries first, but playing her guzheng, combined with the music flowing from the guzheng, caught the curiosity and favour of Wang Lee Hom. Immediately, he decided to slip into the conservatory with his good friend-cum-band partner Chen Han Dian, searching for Liu Yi Fei's "overtones" (絃外之音).

Usher Performs First Concert In China -- And Sings In Chinese He is joined by Chinese singer Leehom Wang, who helped Usher out on 'OMG.'

For his first-ever show in Beijing, Usher paired up with Chinese singer Leehom Wang onstage to sing his hit "OMG." They also joined forces on Wang's "My One and Only" — which Usher even sang in Mandarin.

Usher encouraged his fans to sing along.

"I want you to have crowd participation, which is very odd in my Asian markets, because a lot of times, they don't like to sing out of respect, but I don't mind. I love for my audience to sing along with me," Usher said, according to Rap-Up.com. "That's the part that makes me really enjoy it and I hope it makes them enjoy the show as well."

It was Usher's first trip to China, and he pulled in Leehom to perform with him because he wanted to give his Chinese fans a little hometown flavor.

"I am really excited!" Wang said before the show. "It is a great honor to be able to perform with Usher who has had such a powerful role in developing R&B around the world. The audience in Beijing is in for a really special night."

Usher said Wang came to his attention earlier that year as he started preparing for the tour. "You know, in looking at the music in Asia, Leehom really stood out," Usher said in a statement. "Like me, he started young and I'm impressed by his natural talent, plus he has written some great songs. Also, his commitment to the environment and other good causes really resonated with my own philanthropic work."

Spotted in Beijing: Usher sings in Chinese with Wang Leehom

Ever wanted to see R&B star Usher sing in Chinese? We thought so. The popular hunk-o-singer was caught on camera in Beijing over the weekend singing the harmony of 唯一 (One and Only) with Taiwan star Wang Leehom. It was Usher's first concert ever in China, and he asked Leehom to participated because he "wanted to give his Chinese fans a little hometown flavor," according to MTV News.

"I want you to have crowd participation, which is very odd in my Asian markets, because a lot of times, they don't like to sing out of respect, but I don't mind. I love for my audience to sing along with me," Usher said, according to Rap-Up.com. "That's the part that makes me really enjoy it and I hope it makes them enjoy the show as well."

Really? In my several experiences with Chinese concerts, as long as there's karaoke lyrics scrolling on the sides, the fans will be singing along. Still, I'm not going to knock it. Usher's back up adds depth to this karaoke favorite.
