November 9th, 2012 - Anson Hu | Tiger Hu | Hu Yanbin especially recorded the song, 《八陣圖 | bā zhèn tú (Eight Front Strategy)》and performed it on [ 2nd Annual China Fengji International Film Festival Opening Ceremony 第二屆中國奉節國際攝影節開幕式晚會 ].
He didn't write this song, he especially recorded it and performed it, so the song still belongs to him.
Do you think it fits his style and his voice??

The song is alright, I do like the mix of chinesy and rock beats but the chorus doesn't stand out to me as much.
The dancers confused me a bit I'm guessing it's something to do with Yin Yang?
Anson's voice is good as usual but somehow I hear a backing track of his voice too so the resulting sound doesn't sound so good :P
Toilet, listen to the audio link, it should be much better!
The 'Eight front strategy" is pretty much a war tactic, so the dancers moving around with those 'yin yang' shield-like things are to represent shields in a war. :P I don't know why they choose to make it black and white, like yin and yang, though.
T~T tudou links don't work for me maybe because I'm in the UK? Booo~
Struggling to figure out what the Chinese characters are in Cantonese. Google translate not so good as it gives it to me in Mandarin :(
Probably because I don't know any war tactics xD only heard of 孙子兵法 and know the last tactic in 三十六計: 走是上計 :P
Toilet, seriously, Tudou links don't work for you? That's really weird!!!
Okay, so I did you a special favour, I uploaded it on dropbox (it's an easy sharing thing for me, so don't worry)

so, 八陣圖 = baat zan tou (in Cantonese)
八 = baat = #8 in Canto
陣 = zan = pronounced more like "zhun" ; have you heard of the phrase 一陣陣風 “yut zhun zhun fung" like a sudden gusts of wind
圖 = tou = photo in Canto!
Thanks Denise hehe I have downloaded the mp3 =D the quality is better! The opening is long though!
Ah I finally figured out the word 陣 got me, I kept thinking it was car but now I know what it is! xD Thanks for your gust of wind!
I will ask you more about chinese, you are a good teacher =D
Toilet, I think they purposely made the opening long because it matches with the ceremony opening!
I don't think I will ever be as good of a teacher/tutor like you. I'm sure you're good at what you do!!! :D
@Denise: Ah okay, Film Festival? Btw what happened to Anson's Movie role xD is it out on DVD yet?
I'm actually a big baloney! =P keke nah you just got to think about the person you teach and put yourself in their shoes. But really I talk a lot in real life and kids seem to like it! =D
First rule of teaching is to get kids to listen to what you are saying!
Toilet, I can link you to the movie. However, don't bother because the account got terminated. ><
I will try to look for something in China websites, but most of them blocked access for foreign countries.
It hasn't been officially released, you know how China things are ><
