Wang Lee Hom

Back in 2008, Leehom Wang brought us his innermost thoughts through his “Heart Beat” album. At the end of this month, on the 30th, Leehom will be returning to his musical roots with a brand new album, “十八般武艺” (Roughly translates to: Eighteen Types of Martial Arts). However, before that, he will be releasing the MV of the album’s title song, “柴米油鹽醬醋茶,” (Idiom roughly meaning: Daily Necessities) for broadcast onto 12 online sites, including Youtube and Facebook, on the 12th. For this song, he collaborated with Vivian Hsu to paint a picture of simple and ordinary happiness.

Having dabbled as a movie director, Leehom placed even higher demands on the quality of the MV. Besides spending NT$2,000,000, hiring 30 staff members, renting professional movie cameras, and using 35mm film for shooting, he also personally demonstrated how to walk into place and speak the lines. In one kitchen scene, “Director Wang” personally went into battle and picked up the knife and saucepan, bringing out the rare sight of him at home.
