大家所熟悉的金曲歌王陈奕迅，在台上是个用歌声征服观众的实力派唱将。只要是不唱歌的时候，他会瞬间变成个”过动儿”，也能用他独特的方式散发 Happy Virus， 来征服你。和Eason接触过的人, 可能会觉得他有点”癫”，但你却无法不爱他。

若”金曲歌王”是个较为沉重的称呼，那”音乐顽童”应该还满适合他。

Eason 是个个性开朗活泼，真性情，超鬼马，搞笑和完全不受控制，不按牌理出牌的阳光派。他很随和，也很随性，时不时会笑到久久不能自己。但他同时也是个很有想法，对音乐热爱的一名歌手和音乐人。与其说这是场粉丝见面会, 倒不如说是场音乐创作分享会。

这是个很有朝气，正能量和欢笑的分享会。

这场 “E 起 Chan 谈 L.O.V.E”音乐分享会的特别之处, 就是纯粹让 Eason 分享创作理念和概念，让出席者试听新专辑还未曝光的3首歌曲，并没有任何演唱新歌的部分。不过 Eason 的即兴哼唱或演唱几句，都让观众听出耳油。

专辑筹备了6年之久，原本就自嘲可以”Talk forever”的 Eason， 更是滔滔不绝地， 侃侃而谈。那兴奋之情再也按捺不住，就像瀑布般狂涌。

这是个很好的宣传手法。除了有少数 (exclusivity) 的大众可以把未曝光的作品先听为快，让大家更清楚地知道每一首歌曲背后的创作来源，有趣故事，也会引起大家的密切关注。加上 word of mouth + the power of social media, 这比只主打几首歌曲更有效应。

希望众多歌手日后也可以考虑多用这种形式和粉丝/大众们分享创作心得。这样不只可以激起大家会更想购买专辑听每首歌曲的欲望，也会更 Appreciate 这些难能可贵的甘苦谈。

很庆幸这次的主持人是杨君伟。君伟是个资深的主持人，见过各个大大小小的场面，也会事前做足功课。况且这次是遇见自己很欣赏的歌手，更会好好地掌握资讯，跟多些互动。原本这类型的 Auditorium 就只能容纳500人，规模也有点像是 giving a talk 的感觉。若主持人和来宾都很严肃的话，会让观众觉得枯燥乏味。幸好两人之间”抛球和接球” + 搞笑功力，也令人由始至终捧腹大笑，拍案叫绝。

董姿彦曾在后台喊了”Eason老师”。Eason 转过头给她个诚恳的微笑。。这小小的举动对于董姿彦来说，是非常窝心的。因为 Eason 不只没耍大牌，还给她作为一个人的认可。Eason 只耸了耸肩说 “But we are only Human”。可见 Eason从来也没觉得自己是什么巨星，待人处事还是那么真诚， 应该是再也踏实不过的体现。

令人很 impressed 的是，君伟居然还提醒 Eason，其实他和王双骏已认识了20年。他还能哼出王双骏为草蜢写的”好戏在后头”。这也让 Eason 很佩服君伟。两人也在台上拥抱握手了好几次。我想是”遇到真正的知音”和”我没欣赏错歌手”的体现。

精通中，英，和粤语的Eason, 说他的 emotional style language is English, working style (工作时用的语言) 是中文, 但最直接表达的必定是粤语。

从2010年”DUO陈奕迅世界巡回演”会过后，就开始断断续续地从2012年筹备这张以”Love”为概念的专辑。和 Duo Band 团队有很深厚的感情和在演唱会后觉得很失落，于是想和大家一起来记录他们之间的感情，所以才花费很多年来完成这项 Project。大多数的歌曲都是以”Live Recording”的方式，同步录制。主唱，合声，乐器都在不同的房间一并录制。这就等于是像我们平时在演唱会听到的”Live”版本，会和原版有些出入，和更多惊喜。团队也录制了”Documentary”, 希望可以在年底出专辑之前，提前让大众更了解制作背后的趣事。

这张新专辑会有7首粤语，2首中文和1首英语歌曲。

新专辑之前先曝光的3首歌曲有”与你常在、渐渐 和可一可再”。试听会上的3首歌曲包括Funky 曲风的 “破坏王”，虐心的抒情歌曲 (暂不透露歌名) 和几前年和 Duo Band的队友们所经历疯狂事迹的”疯狂的朋友”。3首都很有自己的特色。而且听 Eason分享背后的故事，都令大家笑到久久无法自拔。

这句由 Chris Paulanco 诠释的”空调，可不可以开一下”, 不只令大家会心一笑，也深深地烙印在我们的脑海里。”疯狂的朋友”应该会成为一首盛行的”友谊之歌”。虽然歌词当中的趣事有掺杂”fiction” & “non-fiction” 的 Inside Jokes，但整体显现出朋友们之间的爱。

Eason 说接下来可以尝试 APAC 类型的歌曲，如印度歌曲，越南语歌曲和泰语歌曲。Eason 说他和草蜢都曾听说新加坡的歌迷都很文静。但草蜢在新加坡开演唱会后发现歌迷们都很疯狂，也很热情。所以 Eason 从来不觉得自己的粉丝很文静，觉得他们是”痴神”的。可能因为自己也是”疯”的，还数度叫大家不要理会他。之后他还补充说，”人来疯 疯癫，神经, insane, crazy, 不都一样?”

分享会其实已经”OT”了好一阵子，而 Eason 也不想让在后头苦等的媒体朋友们等地太久，于是只好结束分享会。但在结束之前，和大家有个大合照。君伟要求大家比个”Love”，但 Eason 觉得用最原始的 Universal Love hand sign， 最为贴切。

原以为分享会就此结束，但突然蹦出个小惊喜。所有到场的观众，都能上台向 Eason 领取一份特别的小礼物。Eason在活动前的晚上帮大家在小卡片上，亲笔签名。幸运的粉丝还会个”Love”型号。卡片上有个特别的小别针,刻着”Eason & the Duo Band” & “L.O.V.E”。

“E神”偶尔也会蹦出一些令人爆笑的举动或话语。不难发现，听 Eason歌曲的群众，来自各个年龄层。可见他的魅力是老少通杀。这暖心的举动+之前的 entertaining + engaging session, 早就让大家把之前排队排了很久的事情，远远的抛在脑后。

我也希望， Eason 继续可以做他热爱的音乐，唱自己引以为傲的作品。

There’s nothing we would like you to change, stay the same!

Stay so ever Crazy, Sincere and Funny!Read More →

Clueless as to why he’s crowned as the “Nation’s Boyfriend” in Korea, Park Seo Jun thinks the only reason is because he’s an honest person.

After having spent a good 2 hours at the fan meet, we’re not surprised as to how he earned his title & can certainly list you some very good reasons.

He’s not just eligible boyfriend material, but also a Male Best Friend aka Buddy material.

Park Seo Jun earned the hearts of those present with his earnest & easy going nature. He’s straightforward but takes time to warm up. He’s pretty humorous in his own “Pabo”way.

Just like Ko Dong Man, he’s a very down-to-earth person who works hard to attain his goals. He has just been awarded the “Best New Actor Award” for his movie “Midnight Runners” and undoubtedly, one of the rising stars in Korea.

He’s got a strong sense of justice & responsibility. He may not be a “walk out of comic” character, but he has a warm & personable allure that draws you to him.

Host Matthew Zachary Liu encouraged fans to snap & video to their hearts’ content. This made the whole event more relaxed & enjoyable. The power of social media should not be undermined. By sharing interesting, funny videos & pictures online, it can reach out to more fans worldwide. It is also good publicity for the artiste.

Park Seo Jun’s very amicable & his fan service was excellent.

While most fan meets have similar rundown, no one seemed to really mind if they could spend some quality time with their favourite star.

Sometimes, it is the simplest things in life that make it more enjoyable.

I appreciate his sincerity in how he spent a lot of time & effort in preparing the pasta for his fans. He also answered every question from the audience (that was not scripted).

Now, that is quite uncommon for a Korean fan meet as most questions needed to be screened through prior to the event.

He’s pretty 亲民 & accommodating, when he took selfies & gave big hugs to all who went on stage. He acceded to fans’ requests of recording “Good Morning” videos, singing BD songs, even teasing the fans with a “No” when they wanted to him to say “I Love You”.

The Dong Saeng was at the exit, patiently awaiting everyone who passed by, met their eyes, raised both his palms and did a “High 10” gently, saying “Thank You” in English.

That’s what we call being earnest and sincere.

We would love to have Park Seo Jun back on Sunny Island soon definitely!Read More →

This is definitely the most star studded and most anticipated movie promotion in 2017 with an entourage of Hwang Jung Min, So Ji Sub & Song Joong Ki.

Since the announcement of all 3 casts – Veteran Actor Hwang Jung Min, Charismatic actor So Ji Sub, Heartthrob Song Joong Ki and renowned Director Ryoo Seung Wan, to be gracing the Gala Premiere of “Battleship Island” in Singapore, the local fan scene on Sunny Island had literally turned into a replica of a mini “Battleship Island”. Thousands of fans pit their creativity and expended all ways and means to win access passes to the exclusive media press conference, Meet & Greet and Gala Premiere tickets.

After all, this would be the last time fans could see Song Joong Ki before he gets married in October. His marriage news did not dampen the spirits of his die heart fans and they thronged all 3 levels of Suntec City North Atrium and also lined the pave way outside the building.

The goom-to-be was glowing with radiance and had an aura of positive vibes and happiness all over him. So Ji Sub has a group of loyal fans who follow him for many years. He’s known to be a cool guy on the out-front but is a very warm guy who would pay attention to his fans.

It is the first time that award winning actor Hwang Jung Min and Director Ryoo Seung Wan to grace our shores. Hwang Jung Min is composed, has a good sense of humour and also shared very interesting insights that he gained in filming the movie.

The stars were pretty surprised by the turnout of 3,000 fervently screaming fans and expressed their gratitude for such an warm welcome. The stars took the effort to wave and acknowledge fans who were on Level 2 and 3, at the side and behind the stage as well.

Highlight of the night was when the confetti sprouted out of nowhere with a loud POP. Their expressions and reactions were priceless.

The promotions in SG had come to an end but we are pretty sure the Oppas would bring back with them fond and happy memories from their visit here.

Lee Dong Wook charmed the 90% female dominated audience with his chiselled good looks & smiles.

It was no easy feat to get the reserved Grim Reaper to open his chat box.

However, fans of the reticent “Grim Reaper” saved the day, by participating so ever spontaneously in the games segment.

The night was more memorable and entertaining because of them, and it made Dong Wook grin from ear to ear.

After 6 long years, the tall & hunky Grim Reaper was in town for his Asia Tour Fan Meet. He swooned 1,000 fans at his public press conference held at Plaza Singapura.

Donning a greyish pink suit, he gleamed with fair, snow white complexion & pink, luscious lips that many ladies are dying to have.

The visual aesthetics made it way more captivating & interesting than the content of the interview itself.

He said that Singapore fans are as warm & passionate as the weather.

But we just wanna say, Dong Wook Oppa, You’re way much HOTTER than SG’s weather.Read More →
