親愛的朋友們： 　　

　　這個星期幾乎整個香港每天都飄著朦朦細雨。雨水魔術般的積在車窗的擋風玻璃上、也許因為雨水蒸氣的凝結、漆黑的馬路像擦亮了的皮革般光滑。儘管如此，卻沒有撐傘的必要，好像沒有人被雨水淋濕的跡象。 　　

　　這個星期是"雷霆戰警"（亞洲以外地區被稱作"Chinawhite"）電影的首映周。再過兩天，我就會在一個戶外的停車電影院，和預計會出席的3000多人一起觀賞我的電影。我希望我的歌迷能夠拿到足夠的入場票；聽說首映那天的票是一票難求。 　　

　　因為這是首映周，我都會為電影的宣傳而忙碌，比如說：雜誌、報紙的訪問，記者會以及和電影有關的歌迷聚會。這些活動讓我對能在星期五（12/15）的首映時看到這部電影感到無比的興奮和期待。那肯定會是一部充滿刺激動作，富娛樂性的電影。 　　

　　不管怎樣，我想你們都知道我最近經歷了一些事情。伴隨著我第一部電影而來是許多我必須面對的商業包袱。最具有話題性的就是我和藤原紀香合唱的計劃，因為…嗯！" 頻道收迅不良，畫面暫停中斷 "而被迫取消了。由這個經驗我學會了對某些事情最好還是把它放一邊、什麼也不要說、讓它成為過去。雖然此次的事件在當初電影公司的要求和支持下，我和庫力歐一起寫了那首歌，樂器部份的音樂也已經錄製完成；縱使我投入了很多時間和心血在那首歌裡，最後的結局是這樣，我還是可以釋懷。 　　

　　不過，值得欣慰的是我個人創作，演唱和製作的英文歌曲"China White"會成為電影在亞洲以外地區的主題曲。這首歌將會收錄在電影的原聲帶裡，於明年1月份由SONY Music發行。我希望你們會喜歡我的主題曲…那和我以前所嘗試過的歌曲完全不一樣！ 　　

　　最後，這個星期很重要的一點就是我決定在2000年結束的時候暫時停寫我的週記。這個週記對我和我的歌迷都很重要，但我希望在明年一月就能專心投入我下一張專輯的籌備工作。雖然有點捨不得，但是我總不能每個星期都寫：今天錄了歌曲"無名曲第七首"，鼓的部份…這樣無聊的話題不太好吧！ 　　

　　我很期待下星期初，隨著"雷霆戰警"的巡迴宣傳與馬來西亞和新加坡的歌迷見面。我也期待著12/31在台北的跨年演唱會上，和我那些"好久不見"的台灣歌迷見面。我已經很沒有回台灣了，很想念你們！ 　　

　　在這兒讓我對所有的歌迷朋友們說：謝謝你們給我在音樂上持續的支持…和 現在對我電影的支持！

yours,

王力宏

This week it has been drizzling little more than mist everyday in Hong Kong. The water collects on the windshield magically, or as if by condensation, the roads shine black like polished leather. Yet there's no reason to carry an umbrella, because the people never seem to get wet.

This is the week of the premier for "China Strike Force" ("China White" outside of Asia). In two more days, I'll be sitting at an outdoor drive-in theater watching my movie debut in front of a predicted crowd of 3,000. I hope my fans are able to get enough tickets, I know they've been hard to get.

Because this is the week of the premier, I am busy these days with promotion for the movie: magazine, newspaper press conferences, and movie-related fan gatherings. All of this promotion is really making me excited to actually see the movie on Friday, 12/15. It should be action-packed entertainment.

Anyway, as most of you know, I've been going through a lot lately. Along with my first movie experience came a lot of business baggage that I had to deal with. The most aggregious of which was the failure of Norika Fujiwara and my duet to come through due to...ahem, technical difficulties. I've learned through this experience that there are some things that are best just left alone, unsaid, and in the past. Even though in this instance, at the request and the support of the movie company, I had already written the song with Coolio and had finished recording the instruments, even though I had put a lot of time and heart into the song...I can let it go.

However, the redeeming point here, is that my Engl ish solo track "China White" is to be the theme song to the movie in the release outside of Asia. This song (self-written and produced) will also be available on the "China White" soundtrack which is being released by SONY in January. I hope you all like my title track...it's like nothing I've ever sung before!

One last very important note for this week. I have decided that I will take a temporary break from writing this diary after the end of 2000. Although it is very important to me and to the fans to continue, I would like be completely free from other committments and emersed in production for my new album beginning in January. Although reluctant to take time off, I figure, my news every week would be something like "I recorded the drums track for song "Untitled #7" today...blah blah blah. Boring stuff to write in a diary anyway!

I'm looking forward to seeing my friends and fans in Singapore and Malaysia at the beginning of next week when CSF begins its promotion tour.I'm also looking forward to seeing my "long time no see" friends and fans in Taiwan on 12/31, when I will be doing a countdown new year's concert in Taipei. It's been too long since I've been in Taiwan and I really miss you all!

To all my fans, thank you so much for your continuing support for my music...and now my movies! I love you all very much!

yours, Leehom Wang
