Wang Lihong Asks his Father to Compose Words for his Songs
Born in the State of New York , Wang Lihong(王力宏) showed great talents in music in his childhood and has developed such gifts in a free and happy environment. With hard work, he has succeeded in becoming an extremely popular singer.
Last year, on Christmas day, Wang attended the press conferences for the release of his new music album(新专辑发布会) in Tai Pei, Shanghai and Hong Kong one after another, becoming the first Chinese singer ever to do so. Although he had only four hours for sleep, he didn’t show any sign of tiredness. Because of this, he is nicknamed “King of Steel”(铁人王) of a new generation, the second person after Liu Dehua,(刘德华) . He did not complain about such “hard labor” (强迫劳役) for the record companies(唱片公司) . Instead, he said that he liked such a life, because he was a workaholic(工作狂) . He said jokingly, “A record company is like a company for express delivery service(快递公司) , while I am a kind of goods which is delivered from one place to another.”
Wang has also succeeded in inviting his father who is a doctor in America to compose words for his songs. As he and his father live far away from each other, they have to communicate through online camera(视频) . So far, his father has composed two songs for him. Whenever he is not satisfied with his father’s lyric, Wang will ask him to revise it. His father is very cooperative. Wang said jokingly, “I will pay my father enough royalty(版税) so that he can enjoy his life after he resigns next year.”(www.nmet168.com)

王力宏请医生爸爸写歌词
出生于美国纽约州的王力宏,自小就展现极高的音乐天赋。他在一个自由快乐的学习环境中,逐步发展其音乐才能,并靠着自己的勤奋和努力,终于成为一名极受欢迎的歌手优质偶像。
去年圣诞节当天,王力宏在成为第一位于同一天内在台北、上海及香港出席新专辑发布会的华人歌手,虽然他只睡了四个小时,但在记者会上并未露疲态,被称刘德华之后的新一代铁人王。虽然被唱片公司“劳役”,但他没有怨言,还说自己是个工作狂,反而乐在其中。他打趣说:“唱片公司像‘快递公司’,我是‘货’,被他们运来运去。”
他还成功邀请到在美国当医生的父亲为自己写歌词。由于父子分隔两地,故要靠视频沟通。王爸爸为爱子编写了两首歌,不过追求完美的王力宏不满意歌词时,会要求老爸修改,而王爸爸亦相当合作。王力宏笑说:“我会付足版税给爸爸,让他明年享受退休生活!”
