Jacky Cheung: I've said for over 10 years but no one would listen!
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Jacky Cheung ended his one year long vacation and has fully resumed work, his upcoming schedule includes releasing a new album, filming and holding a concert. Concerning not enough unity in the music industry award ceremonies nowadays, Jacky as 歌神/God of Songs felt he is unable to remedy the situation, he lamented: "I've said for over 10 years but no one would listen!"Yesterday, Jacky was at Hong Kong Disneyland to attend an event named 福到滿城賀金牛, together with Mickey Mouse they beat on a drum to celebrate Chinese New Year approaching, his appearance attracted several hundred people to pack the streets of Main Street USA. Later, together with animation movie Bolt 3D/超級零零狗's main character Bolt and cat Mittens, they wished all visitors an early Happy Chinese New Year, the scene was lively.
After resting for one year to spend time with his family, Jacky declared that he has formally resumed work this year, he said: "I will film a movie in March, at the end of the year there will be a new album and a concert will be held at the end of 2010. (Who is the director of the new movie?) I cannot say yet, it is not a big budget production. (Is the script good?) It will be filmed in Hong Kong, big productions have to be filmed overseas for several months and this is not possible, I just want to satisfy my craving to act."
Jacky has not attended music award ceremonies for many years, the night before last he attended RTHK Chinese Top Ten Gold Songs Awards/十大中文金曲頒獎禮 to support Jik Lam/林夕. About record companies boycotting award ceremonies, Jacky expressed that he has always appealed for one integrated award ceremony, he has suggested this for over 10 years but no one has paid any attention and he feels discouraged. He seriously said: "When I was most influential I couldn't change anything, now even fewer people would listen to me, I feel this is a pity. To make the music industry more vibrant, everyone must unite, to use the award ceremonies as a promotional tool is not good, I hope the overall situation is viewed as more important."
