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(新專輯發(fā)布會) 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”(鐵人王) of a new generation, the second person after Liu Dehua,(劉德華) . He did not complain about such “hard labor” (強迫勞役) 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(快遞公司) , 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(視頻) . 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(版稅) so that he can enjoy his life after he resigns next year.”(www.nmet168.com)

【附：中文大意】

王力宏請醫(yī)生爸爸寫歌詞

出生于美國紐約州的王力宏，自小就展現(xiàn)極高的音樂天賦。他在一個自由快樂的學習環(huán)境中，逐步發(fā)展其音樂才能，并靠著自己的勤奮和努力，終于成為一名極受歡迎的歌手優(yōu)質(zhì)偶像。

去年圣誕節(jié)當天，王力宏在成為第一位于同一天內(nèi)在臺北、上海及香港出席新專輯發(fā)布會的華人歌手，雖然他只睡了四個小時，但在記者會上并未露疲態(tài)，被稱劉德華之后的新一代鐵人王。雖然被唱片公司“勞役”，但他沒有怨言，還說自己是個工作狂，反而樂在其中。他打趣說：“唱片公司像‘快遞公司’，我是‘貨’，被他們運來運去。”

他還成功邀請到在美國當醫(yī)生的父親為自己寫歌詞。由于父子分隔兩地，故要靠視頻溝通。王爸爸為愛子編寫了兩首歌，不過追求完美的王力宏不滿意歌詞時，會要求老爸修改，而王爸爸亦相當合作。王力宏笑說：“我會付足版稅給爸爸，讓他明年享受退休生活!”
