Core22 - Heart on fire

This Swiss video is good one.
White Stripes - Blue Orchid

See that's what I mean: I would rather spend the budget in the art directions, and innovative ideas. (Pricless!)

I was talking to HJ, I always think, is it true that all the budget of the MV has to go to the salaries, so that the remindings is actually not enough to do anything, + people is not passionate in doing MV anymore, shitty music, horrible artist, terrible agent... so that it makes the MV in Switzerland (one of the most expansive place in Europe) look even more shitting than those low budget MVs in Hong Kong?

CHRISTINA AGUILERA - Welcome

"Welcome"

Woah, ohh

Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You've never seen before
Here the fairytale unfolds

What's behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Well you'll be left out in the cold

Is it all blue skies
Fun and games untill you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades

And you're left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Oooh

Been jaded, hated,
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown

Always taking a bow
Always working the crowd
Always breaking new ground
Always playing the clown
Who'll be sticking it out?
Who'll be staying around
When the lights go down?

CHRISTINA AGUILERA - Enter The Circus

"Enter The Circus"

Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won't believe your eyes
Behind this curtain,
Witness something you've never seen before,
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth

La la la la la la la
It's the most amazing show on earth
La la la la la la la

Do you want to be widely entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well they say "things aren't always what they seem to be"
Even your greatest fantasies
You won't believe your eyes
Won't even recognise
The wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights

Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup,
And the faces full of paint?

I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Hahahaha
Get the world to come and play
Hahahaha

So sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelts
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side

Hopeful or Hopeless?!

Yan Yan Mak gives me a link to the MV of Mr. Children from Japan, touches me so much. Talking about a lost dreams and the young heart within everybody. Surly I spread it around to my friends, and Chang Jiang responds to me with this made-in-china video "13131", I was totally shocked! Almost identical to the Japanese one.

OH MY GOD!

I am angry, and ashamed. As a Chinese, as a creative person wanted to finally contribute to my home country. To see this disrespectful act of a creative person from China, and the torrarence of the media industry in my home country, it re-reinfouce the pre-conception of "No original things in China." Now, even in MV production.

It is not new to me that in the commercial business, there're not a lot of "boss" care about originality. But it is hard to believe that one can copy thing in this absolutely abusing, NO taste, and cheap ways. This video have bad casting, bad acting and bad direction, and the way it copy the original is absolutely down grading. Isn't it a mistake? Or isn't it proof again woman/sex appeal sell? Commercial decisions dominate everything? Where is the respect to creative person, where is the respect of intellectual property?!

While everyone is changing it's point of view, looking and awaiting China's economy growth, the opportunities flow and dreams coming true... Things coming from China keeps turning me down.......
