Chilam Cheung and his wife Anita Yuen met up with Shum Ka Wai (沈嘉偉) for dinner, but when they left Anita saw that she got a ticket on her car, but Shum Ka Wai who was parked next to them also got a ticket, but he treated it as nothing. Chilam and Anita then stormed off in their car.

Chilam and Antita often goes out to eat as a family, although recently Chilam is busy with his music jobs and doing commercials, but he did have time to spend with his wife and Shum Ka Wai and his brother. But their son, Mortan Cheung was not seen at dinner. That night at approximately 9pm, Chilam was the driver and personally drove Anita to dinner, the two saw Shum Ka Wai's car parked by the restaurant near the street corner, so Chilam copied him and parked there also. Afterwards, they went into the restaurant to have dinner.

After more than an hour later, they paid for the bill and left. The couple left first and came out in a great mood, however when they went to get their car, Anita discovered that both her car and Shum Ka Wai's car got a ticket. Anita's face immediately changed to a frown as she read the ticket and lost HKD$320. This dinner surely turned into one expensive one. The couple then drove off.

As for Shum Ka Wai and his brother who are a wealthy family, looked at the ticket and treated it as nothing.

The other day, Chilam Cheung arrived at the radio station with a beard to promote for his new album release in October. He expressed that he's leaving the "handsome" image that has followed him for 10+ years. Chilam is considering to do a new "man" look for the new album, growing a beard. He smiled: "I've been 'handsome' for so many years already, I want a change."

The preparations for Chilam's new album will take 2 months, for the meantime, he has only recorded 3 songs. Asked for what reason he's not recording his songs faster, he helplessly said: "I have to wait for the lyrics first. (Lam Jik hasn't prepared them yet?) He has helped me with the lyrics before, I would choose him to do the lyrics for me again." Lam Jik and Chilam were once neighbors, he often invites him over for dinner at his house, so if Chilam wanted to get him to help out, Lam Jik would quickly respond.

Yipppeeee!! New album and new series!! Seriously can't wait!! Hes growing a beard, is he trying to look like Eason in his H3M album?! (Nah, his appearance on his album cover doesn't bother me), lets just hope hes shaven it off when he starts filming the series!! I'm loving his new song "Lei Taai seen Leung"

Why is there no news about his new series and what kind of role hes playing? Anyway I hope someone would upload his clip onto youtube @ the charity show tonight!

Chilam is definately pairing up with Myolie Wu in his new series and going to shoot some scenes in Japan with her, Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse in October.

I'm hoping he would sing the themesong, probably a duet with Myolie? Anyway if he does, I want it in his upcoming album!

Myolie and Julian: Super Good Voice, cannot hold it up
Thursday October 1, 2009 Hong Kong

Ín the past, "Modern Love Story": ''Parting has no right or wrong, doesn't explain much when want to leave either.' Today, "Breaking Off" : 'There will always be cherishing, quietly drinking, Love will last forever.' The two songs differentiate by 18 years, Chilam's voice is still so charming and sweet, but when mentioned of joining ""Super Good Voice", he said that he is not up to it.




Julian Cheung Chi Lam

My ladies colleagues want me to ask Chilam: "Why did you grow a beard? Isn't clean cut good? Looks like an old man."Ladies are against beard. Will Myolie, who is working with him for the first time, want him to go back to the boyish look?

C - Chilam
M - Myolie
R - Reporter

C: haha, i can grow a beard easily. If i don't shave for a day, i will become a mountain top caveman. To me, growing a beard isn't difficult. If you look carefully, my beard is black and white in colour. Even if you dye it, it won't have such an effect. The more i look at it, the more stylish i feel it is. It makes me not want to shave it.

M: You are not a young brother anymore.

C: A bit of father's feel? But my emotions and hobbies are still the same. It doesn't change just because i'm a father.

R: So, will you sing children's song?

M: How do you know? We sang a duet for "Sergeant"

C: It can be considered a challenge.

R: Zhang Chilam, you are releasing your album in November. Will you change your style about only singing love songs? The song titles are still like the past? Such as "Can't tell you i love you"...

C: wa... don't say already. hearing it makes me want to die.

R: So, the new album will not be under the theme of love?

C: Still have not analyse the title, but the music composers are from different categories, there is Eric Kwok and Adrian Chow. I don’t think there will only be love songs. I hope to have different attempts too.

M: I think love songs are still the hits! Take my last EP released, took on the route of a girl who does not let love restrict her, the rhythm of the song has a mature feel. End of this year will release another EP, wouldn’t be too different from this route.

C: Yes, love songs are still the ones that will touch the heart of people.

M: Recently has been listening to Lady GaGa, I wish to change, but don’t have the determination. The difficulty level is too high for me to sing and dance at the same time. I have thought of changing my image. But I have only released one EP. If I want to change, have to wait till I have release two to three more albums.

C: For me, the most difficult part is writing the lyrics. This time I volunteered myself, really work wholeheartedly, wasn’t able to deliver the work till the last minute.

R: In your blog you mentioned that: “No matter how you sit, you still cannot come out with the lyrics” In the end, you have to head to Bintan with Anita Yuen to shoot an advertisement, hoping that you have some inspiration after getting into contact with nature.

M: I feel that you are very daring, writing the lyrics, it has never cross my mind.

C: Enough, one is already enough. Initially I wanted to write the Cantonese lyrics after completing the Chinese lyrics. In the end I have to give up.

M: The duet I did with Chilam《一刀兩斷》, it is not talking about an ordinary love story, advise people not to wallow in a tough love, in fact it is hard for the adviser to extricate oneself, the content is very miserable. For example, there is a line in the lyrics: “ To sever all ties and not meet again, do not remember the most distinct memories, throw away the photos.”

C: Miserable ah, if it is not miserable, it wouldn’t be a love song right? There is no need to sing out a sweet love.

M: Can I said this, the new song is 2009 version of《現代愛情故事》(Modern Day Love Story)?

C: You wouldn’t know if I didn’t mention, after Maple Hui, Myolie is the first to duet with me in a Cantonese song.

Detox to take on the Music Industry

Myolie Wu acting skills are not bad, but be it comedy or tradegy, netizens like to criticize the way she said her lines, her eyes, nose, mouth and eyebrow will squeeze together, forming the word 「囧」.
M: I don’t mind people criticizing my acting skills. There is a need for entertainment news.

R: Have you ever thought of why people will describe you in this way?

M: Everyone has their own views. There is nothing inappropriate about it.

C: In fact, freedom of speech, every audience can express their views on the artistes acting skills.

M: Will you be unhappy because of this? Not possible to say you wouldn’t, but the fact is it is already over.

C: How about lets discuss the new drama I’m going to do with her. This time round I will be acting as a master in Japanese Cuisine.

M: I will be acting as a rich girl, as I wasn’t on good terms with my family so I left for Hokkaido and meet Michael Tse and you. Both of you brothers temperament are very extreme. One is very down to earth while the other looks down on the world.

C: You look at the script very carefully! I will be acting as Sushi Chef, as the script requires, now I have to head over to my friend’s Sushi shop to learn how to make Sushi. Although I am not very professional, but it is better than I only start learning when filming starts. It will be very wasteful if I cannot co-ordinate when the time come, not good for everyone too.

R: Do you need to learn Japanese?

C: Initially I thought I will be in deep trouble, have to learn Japanese! Only recently then I discover that I don’t need to speak a lot of Japanese, just one or two lines, no need to purposely go and learn I can also handle.

M: Will you normally cook at home?

C: Of course – not. But how difficult can it be if I really want to cook, as long as you put in effort, you will definitely succeed. Like recently, I start playing “Detox”. I learn it from a Yoga centre. A 10 days treatment. Everyday have to eat and drink the food and drink they provide, wasn’t too use to it initially.

M: Everything also cannot eat?

C: Take today’s interview, I can only eat salad. It is ok to eat more vegetables. But I cannot take meat, coffee, soft drinks etc. Once you are use to it, it will be like normal.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
R: Lastly, what will you detox?

C: Marvelous! Heard that you can even detox gallstones!

M: Wa! That’s scary!

C: I believe that my body is still considered healthy, after the treatment, my body will adjust back by itself. Today is already the fourth day of the treatment. Hope to have a new beginning. Take my going back to the music industry, after 5 years of adjustment; I should be at another level.

Don't tell me hes keeping the beard for his new series? Yea, he looks manly with it and its a fresh look away from his boyish looks but I still prefer him with the clean cut look more! I can't wait to hear him speak Japanese, even though its only one or two lines!

So the album been pushed back to Nov instead of this month? Aiya, have to wait just a little bit longer than intended!

Chilam and Myolie sang their duet @ Sha Tin Mid Autumn Festival Show last night and I yet to find that clip on youtube! I am dying to hear it sooooo bad Oh well if I can't find it then I'll just have to wait for their official MV, if they have one or listen to it in his album!

Chilam and Myolie @ Sha Tin Mid Autumn Festival Show

"Lei Taai Seen leung" MV Drama

can anyone tell me what this song is about ? (Lei Taai Seen leung)

bzzztobee Nice to see ya in here! "Lei Taai Seen Leung" means "You are too generous"Heres my own intrepretation, from what I saw in the MV, Chilam's gf got in with the wrong crowd, and I think his gf is too kind and not that kind of bad girl and asked them that she wants out but got slapped! Chilam made a promise to her that he will always protect her and not let anyone hurt her and went to fight the guys and got beat up badly! The song is about a mismatched couple that should have never gotten together in the first place!

hang yee said before that she really liked that song with chilam... im listening to it right now on youtube, havent heard it before.. but first time listening to it - not too bad.

its been a while since we heard chilam singing! is he also coming back to tvb too?
been a while - currently watching him on 談判專家. he's soo fun.

^LOL, yea hes gonna film a new series with Myolie, Tavia, Michael Tse and Damien Lau. The last time we heard him sing for TVB was for Point of No Return and that was also in his last album 6 years ago "Love and Dream".

So the UK Chinese Channel is airing "Take my word for it"? All I can remember about it was Chilam was so funny in it and so cute with Annie Man.

Chilam Praised Myolie To Be A Serious Singer

Julian Cheung and Myolie Wu were filming the music videos for the first time for their duets - Cantonese version, Break Off, and Mandarin version, Once Loved 《爱‧过》. Chilam greatly complimented Myolie, "She's a serious singer. Not just playing for fun." As for the claim that many singers now often sing out-of-tune, Chilam said, "Who doesn't sing out-of-tune before? It's a special trait. Give them some time." Chilam also heard Kate Tsui and Kay Tse sing before, and felt that both of them sang pretty well. He didn't feel that they had sang out-of-tune.

Though Myolie's happy to have a duet with Chilam, she also said that there's some pressure in that too.

2009 Love Story, Zhang Chilam, Myolie Wu (AM730)
Friday October 9, 2009 Hong Kong

Talk about famous love duet, one will naturally think of "Modern's love story", and naturally think of Zhang Chi Lam. In 2009, Chilam enters the Music Industry once again, and worked together with Myolie Wu, who has joined the Music Industry not long, for a love duet. This time, in the interview with AM730, we talked about their cooperation and whether they could create good chemistry and make another generation's love story in 2009?

Extremely looking forward to creating 2009 New Love Song

AM730 - A, Chilam - C, Myolie - M

A: New song "Break Off" is the first piece of work that both of you have cooperated for. What is the song trying to express?

C: "Break Off", as the name suggests, is a break up story. When discussing with the producer about the direction of the song, we were thinking of using either from a third party point of view, or the couple themselves. In the end, we used from the third party's point of view and use a different angle to view the situation. In addition, the mandarin version of "Break Off" is written by me. It is because when i was listening to the melody of the song, i felt that i was very nice and asked for the chance to write it.

M: Going deeper into it, the song is about two people who are experienced in their love life. It talks about how some kind of love, the tighter one holds it, it may result in one being more hurt. On the other hand, letting go a bit may not be as difficult as one thinks it is. It also talks about how impermanence love is. Most of the time, one cannot control or choose the situations, it brings a sense of helplessness. "Break Off" shows the current people's view on love. It is a song that helps to straighten out thinking, can be considered Year 2009's Modern Love Story.

Return to Hong Kong, Touched Everyone once again

A: Chilam has been focusing on advancing his career in China, what is the reason for coming back to Hong Kong Music Industry once again?

C: Mainly is because of receiving the invitation from the Recording Company. I have thought about it a long time. Actually i stopped and focused on my acting career because Hong Kong's Music industry was badly affected by the printing of pirated disc. However, seeing how the recording company is willing to invest its resources, and after much discussions, the deal is sealed. This is one reason why we cooperated too. In addition, i also feel that i need to sing again. As the saying goes, remember where one started off. Hong Kong is my home, i also have to take care of the people in Hong Kong. Now i have a chance to share my music with everyone. Hope to make good use of this opportunity.

A: What are your feelings towards each other when you two work together? Is there anything interesting?

M: The feeling that he gave me was..this brother is very gentleman. I feel very honored to be able to work together with him. I can remembered that i was already very touched by his singing voice when i met him in the recording studio. His singing can touch the audience's feelings and emotions. This is the most difficult part in singing, and is what i hope to learn from him.

In addition, it seems like he has not changed much over the years. Even after becoming a father, he can still attract everyone. The most memorable thing is singing a duet for "Keroro". The Japanese's version of the song is very fast and high tuned. And although he looks very gentle, he can actually sing the cartoon's version.

C: It is my first time working with her so i don't know her very well. She gives me the feel that she is a career oriented lady. She is always in a rush, is a very hardworking artiste. When i worked with her the second time, we sang the main theme song for the cartoon. The next cooperation will be filming together in Hokkaido at the end of October. Having so many opportunities to work together in such a short span of time, i also feel that we are quite fated. I believe that we will be close friends after filming the new drama together.

Challenging oneself, creative in all aspects

A: You took part in writing the lyrics for the song "Break Off", how do you feel when you were producing it?

C: There will definitely be some difficulty, struggled for a few weeks and it still wasn't completed. Although i have experience in writing the lyrics, but i am not a professional composer after all. In the end, i have to set a dateline for myself and finally completed it after 3 to 4 hours. I need some inspiration when i compose too. Once i start writing, i cannot stop. Besides having an interest in writing lyrics, it is also a way to challenge myself. I admire those who are very good in composing, such as Lin Xi, because i feel that they are very good in their language.

A series of Cooperation, works of fate

A: Both of you have many jobs together in such a short span of time. Is it arranged? Any plans in the future?

M: All of us also feel that we are very fated suddenly. A chance to film a drama together, signed a contract with the same recording company and in the coming drama, there may be a chance to sing a duet together again. And i will be very busy at the end of the year. I will be holding a mini concert towards the end of November, and launching my new album. This is the first time that i wrote the lyrics for a song in my new album as well. I am looking forward to the lyrics that i wrote because if the lyrics of the song is written by myself, i believe that when i sing it, i will be even more absorbed. I will feel very satisfied and i also hope to know how everyone feel about it and their comments about it.

C: After filming in Japan in October, i will be preparing my own album. I have not seen my friends in Hong Kong for at least 5 years, be it on TV or in Music. Before, i was busy in China and with my baby. Growing with the child needs time. Now i feel it is time to come back and visit everyone.

During the interview, Myolie mentioned that she hopes that "Break Off" will be 2009 "Modern Love story". This thinking makes me think that as a classic, it is something that one cannot forget. If want to create another classic, besides having the strength, as what the two mentioned, it requires fate as well, then can turn the good piece of music into a classic. Hope that their hardwork and fate and turn the good piece of music into a new classic.

His duet with Maple Hui is old but still takes some beating, LOL!! Its an old time classic and is still heard of in karokes!! Can't wait for his album, which should be released in November!

Chilam Cheung intimate scenes with Myolie Wu/Tavia Yeung, no need to report to wife

Chilam Cheung and Myolie Wu had recently been working together as a pair quite frequently. The night before, they were at the "2009 TVB8 Global Chinese New Talent Singing Contest" together and duet a song. Then yesterday they appear together again for TVB's new series "The Morning of Flying Fish in Hanami" (魚躍在花見の朝) costume fitting, where they will be a couple in the series.

Chilam was a guest judge last night, he smiled and said that his son did not inherit a singing talent, but he only hopes that his son can go into business when he grows up. Asked if he and Myolie would have any intimate scenes in the new series? He said: "I imagine that I do have some with Myolie as well as Tavia Yeung." Are you afraid that your wife Anita Yuen won't be happy about this? "If she is, its a joke. The script is not completed yet but the story talks about how my role likes imagination and fantasy." Are you going to report everything to your wife? "No need, it is only jokes!"

Myolie Wu plays a troubled wealthy girl in the series, she is a girl who has "Princess Disease". Myolie laughed: "In reality, of course I do not have any princess disease. It's more like I have a laborious life." Myolie expressed that she is not worried about Damien Lau changing the script as long as the change is reasonable, then it is no problem at all.

Being an actor, theres always the possibilites of kissing scenes! But its work and you can't avoid it, LOL!! His wife is also an actress, so she will understand!!

I'm glad Chilam has gone back to his clean shaven look for his new series! Its amazing how shaving off a beard can take years off you!

lol, i know! saw him nice and clean yesterday on the entertainment channel. kekekes*~
can't wait to watch his upcoming series then!! I think his personality is simialar to yeung gwong in "take my word for it" - he looks it though.. lols.

ya me too, i'm glad his old look is back. can't wait for the series!!!

Julian Cheung Looks Forward To Having Rumors With Myolie

Today, Julian Cheung and Myolie Wu were at a radio station promoting their new song, Break Off. Chilam denied that he said he was displeased with Myolie's unstable singing ability. He said, "Even if I've such a thought, I wouldn't say it out either. But in reality, I really did not say that." He even greatly complimented that Myolie's singing has been trained before and she has talent for it. Later on, both of them will head to Hokkaido together to film a drama series. Chilam joked, "I wonder if both of us will have any rumors?" Myolie immediately said, "Better not lah!"

Myolie Wu Already Expected That There'll Be Rumors [Source: Apple Action News]
Today, Myolie Wu and Julian Cheung were at CRHK station promoting their new song. Later on, they will head to Hokkaido together to film outdoor scenes for a new TVB drama. When asked if they're worried about having rumors, Chilam said, "Should be quite difficult. But if there's really rumors, there's no choice either."
Myolie then said, "Though can't guess what kind of rumors there'll be, still can expect them to appear. Hopefully by that time, the rumors can be made more acceptable."

20 eps is too short to me but well...still better than nothing..

He was fuNNy in both TMWFI & ShadesOT but now I miss the lazy and cheap YG more lol

YQ in his "favorite T-shirt "Calm Down"

^Agreed 20 episodes is too short for Chilam's comeback! But at least it has a grand cast for a short series, LOL!! Its still going to be one of my most anticipated series for next year!! Go Chilam!!

Ahahaha!! Remember I said in my previous post that I wasn't sure if Chilam was at Po Leung...well one month later, I finally stumble across his clip!

Is there a set date for his new album, looking forward to it!

^I heard his album would be released next month.....but it could change!! Well, it better be this year, cos I waited 6 yrs for his next album, LOL!!

Radio station talking about Chilam's returning onto the singing industry and his new song, Break Off a duet with Myolie

What a lovely performance ^^ I wish they could've let him handle Modern Love Story alone though...I thought with the efforts of these 4 tgt , the song was ruined..

It's Defn one of my most anticipated series of 2010 too, if not the most anticipated.
Been waiting for 5 years and probably have to wait another 5 years after this one, for his next next TVB drama. I'm a little nervous, therefore I'm hoping that Myolie, who looks great in the costume fitting pics will handle her character (carefully).

Is his love for Tavia one-sided btw? I enjoyed their story very much in Shades, kinda sad that their character's didn't click in the last min but perhaps we'll get to see sumthing different in this new series.




Credits.Dienanh.net

Sadly yes!! I heard hes just gonna have a crush on Tavia and will just fantasise about her. Who knows he might even day dream about raping her! Is just like SOT where Chilam likes her more but she prefers Wong Hei. Even though they aren't paired up, I'm still hoping they will have some screentime together.

does anyone know where i can find the pinyin or english translation for his new song ? ( Lei Taai Seen Leung)

^Ive been looking but couldn't find it!! But I did find the chinese lyrics, so if you could just show that to someone that can read chinese, they would help you write out the pinyin for you.

Express Weekly #584 - Julian Cheung Slashed Price To Return TVB
Saturday October 17, 2009 Hong Kong

Translation to pysho 085 @ http://myoliewuhangyee.com/forum



The Hot Trend of Middle-aged Men Returning – Julian Cheung Slashed Price to Return to TVB:
Recently, there’s a wave of middle-aged men returning to the entertainment industry. Many handsome men of the previous century have announced one after another on their major comeback plans, and among these men, it’s Julian Cheung and Ekin Cheng to have the highest popularity.

Not only did Chilam join Neway Star as their ‘First Brother’, he recently returned to TVB to film a new drama, The Morning Blossom of the Rising Fish, on a high-profile note. The 38-year-old Chilam will be acting as a couple with the 29-year-old Myolie Wu. According to sources, his salary for an episode in Mainland is around RMB60000. However this time, he slashed his price by half, and was willing to take a ‘friendly price’ of HKD30000 for an episode for his return to TVB. His aim was to make use of TVB’s influence to create the ‘2009 Modern Love Story’ with Myolie, and picked up his unfinished singer dream.

It was right until last year’s memorial concert of Leslie Cheung did Chilam’s rendition of one of the former’s songs win compliments from the people that his voice was similar to Leslie. Neway Star immediately approached him to open up opportunities for him with his return to Hong Kong. As for re-entering the music industry at the age of 38, Chilam admitted that it’s because he really likes singing.

“Actually back then when he sang the Modern Love Story duet, it was very popular. Until now, there are many fans who still know how to sing it. He was just unlucky that he came out during the same period of time as the four Heavenly Kings. Thus he was being forced to give up singing and venture into acting, in order to continue earning a living.” A source said.

In order to re-create this legend, before his album is out, the music company has already arranged for him to become a couple-group with their ‘First Sister’ Myolie Wu. Both of them have a new-version Modern Love Story duet, Break Off. He also reduced his price to return to TVB to film a drama.

“Chilam holds high expectations for his comeback this time. He and the music company know that it’s very difficult to break out if there’s no gimmick. So he took the initiative to approach TVB for a talk, and also reduced his price by half, taking only HKD30000 for an episode. But he stated clearly that he wanted to work with Myolie.” The source continued.

In order to create more awareness, Chilam even said out on a preview of an upcoming rumor, “When I’m daydreaming, I’ll also imagine on having intimate scenes with Myolie.” Though the script had not been completed, since the male lead has already stated so obviously, the scriptwriter should know what to do lah!

In order to film The Morning Blossom of the Rising Fish, Chilam put in a huge sacrifice. Not only will he head for Hokkaido for filming for over a month, the entire drama will take at least till early January to complete filming. This has made him give up 3 other Mainland dramas, and the estimated loss was about a 7-figure sum. However, the financial loss is worth it, because Chilam has already let wind out that if the response is good, the music company will arrange a concert for him next year. Thus, this will fulfill his Hong Kong Coliseum concert dream of many years.

1) Hard-sell Couple
Back then, Chilam partnered up with Maple Hui and became very popular. This time, the company re-uses the same tactic, but the female lead has changed to Myolie Wu.
2) Very Confident
By reducing his price and returning to TVB this time, Chilam is filled with confidence. During the costume-fitting ceremony, he’s already continually doing poses to gain attention.

It was very unfortunate that Chilam started his singing career when the 4 heavenly kings were at their peak! Even Hacken Lee and Andy Hui were nobodies back then!

Chilam is so underrated as a singer and its about high time that he got some recognition for his singing talent! Hes willing to slash his earnings to get a second chance at singing, so thats shows how determined he is! Hope he will have better luck this time round and I'll will be supporting him all the way!
