Jay singing Butterfly Lovers theme

[mUShy]

i really was surprised when he sang Yuan Shan Han Shou (Distant Mountain Smiles) in the middle of his Lon Quan...rofl

i heard it in his The One CD prior...but i didn't think he'd do that here too...
-Jo

ooo? what's Yuan Shan Han Shou?

[Jo]

its this really really early Taiwanese show, its like set in the past

the series called Lian Shan Buo Eu Ju Yin Tae i believe (Liang and Ju)

it was really, really popular back then...and the theme song is Yuan Shan Han Shou

i think they also do this show like a Ga Zai Shi (like Taiwanese Opera)

-Jo

[mUShy]

oops..startin to get off topic heh :p

[Jo]

-Jo

[Hyde]

o i lUV the tune of liang shan~. been hearing it since i was lil lil.

the story of the two is so- beautiful. i love tragic love stories. not the morbid kind. the beautiful kind like that and crouching tiger etc

[mUShy]

hee sorry too but i still dun get the "Yuan Shan Han Shou"...

yeah...i guess tragic love stories have a big following :(

[Jo]

i hate pinyin cuz i grew up with juyin and suck at pinyin =P

and i loved that show since i was small...my parents loved it...its very beautiful indeed...

-Jo

[jayx8318x]

found it years ago at this site
http://www.mandarintools.com/
but they've since changed their layout and now using a java based convertor. my comp won't show the java one for some reason, maybe you get better luck

[Jo]

I love Liang Shan Buo. I even know the songs. I love I love! I watch Jiang Shan Mei Ren too.

[Jo]

ooh...

the Emperor gave up the whole Jaing Shan (his empire) for the Mei Ren (pretty woman) right?

i loved that too ^ ^

the songs like Xi Fong from Yo Lon Xi Fong were cool too ^ ^

-Jo

[mUShy]

woah i feel kinda ashamed cos i really cant tell the diff between some of these famous oldies/opera...
but im glad that the new generation (gee...am i that old?! :() loves them still

[khim]

Wo, JoJie, you watch this stuff too?? I thought I was the only one!! I love that song when he courts her, I like memorized half of it cause I used to listen to it so much.

[Jo]

^ ^

yea i watch those things once in a while

they carry a lot of our history too...and they really never get old..they're classics


-Jo

[Chun Li]

yeah I can't stand the Chinese people who look at that stuff and say its "soooo old" and "high pitched." It's really irritating when people don't even bother to understand this culture's art and history.

[gialinh805]

yes totally agree!

[jayx8318x]

I bet Jay watches and listens to them alot too, that must be where he gets lots of inspiration :)

[Jo]

you know...those high pitched voices are really, really hard to achieve

they work literally tens of years...since they were young toddlers to achieve that kind of standard of voice acting...

they deserve to be complimented...not rejected...besides...thats the whole point of "Xi"

-Jo

[~sugarcookie~]

i agree...i admire the fact that they can do something like that but i still find the music irritating

[Chun Li]

I love those high pitched voices... it's so pretty... my favorite character in Jing Ju is the Female Warrior.

I love Jing Ju for its acting and Wushu, and I love Huang Mei Diao for its music.
