AhDoe – Music as an International Language

Have you watched Painted Skin (画皮) lately? If not, I’ll recommend this movie to you. I have been thinking of some of the scenes after watching this movie. I have to agree that this movie did manage to send out some messages successfully. It’s not only a horror movie, but rather a sad + romantic movie overall.

Those who starred in Painted Skin form a strong cast that will not only attract audiences, but would guarantee its quality up to certain level.

Zhou Xun (周迅) + Chen Kun (陈坤) + Zhao Wei (赵薇) + Donnie Yen (甄子丹) + Sun Li (孙俪) + Qi Yu Wu (戚玉武) + Gordon Chan (陈嘉上) the director = Good Box Office!!

Just for your information, Painted Skin is adapted from the classical Chinese Horror Novel (聊斋志异). From what most Chinese people who know about this novel, there are always some erotic details in it. Therefore…

Same thing in Painted Skin movie…(maybe this is one of the reasons why many people dwelled into the cinema for this show)

The songs from this movie are composed by Fujiwara Ikuro (藤原育郎), including this song that I will post today: Painted Heart (画心)

Painted Heart (画心) from Painted Skin (画皮) Movie Piano Sheet Preview

You might find this interesting, this song resembles “心语星愿” from Cecelia Cheung years ago. Both songs are nice in my opinion, similar but tend to differ at their chorus. Jane Zhang (张靓颖) sang it emotionally and proved that she was the best person for this song.

For piano players:

1) This piano sheet is in its original key: I.e. Starts with E Major, transposes to G Major and back to E Major again.

2) Lyrics and chords included

3) Erm….difficulty = moderate. Really! Considering the speed is constant at 65 bpm.

Oh boy…I’m addicted to this song…

I took a five hour flight to Shanghai just to do a detail checkup on where this drama was filmed.

Anyway, I’m just joking. I just happened to pass by these few places and share these photos here.

Besides the photos, there’s one more thing that I’d like to share with you all:

The piano sheet of another song from this drama called “Half of the Love Song” (半情歌) by Yuan Ruo Lan (元若兰).

Half of the Love Song (半情歌) from You are My Destiny (命中注定我爱你) Drama Piano Sheet Preview

This song is moderately slow and sentimental, or more precisely, it’s really sad. Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, you will just know that this is really a broken-hearted song.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, i.e. Bb Major
2) Lyrics and chords are included
3) Fairly easy with simple chord progressions and harmonics.

Dear Readers,

I hope that all of you have enjoyed playing my piano sheets so far. There’s one delighting news I would like to share with you all:

My piano sheet has been published by Music Design on its 38th volume piano sheet collection. This piano book is available on the market, I saw it at book stores and some major music schools.

My contribution to this book is not available at Ahdoe.com, it’ll be a good idea to own this book because most of the piano sheets are chosen based on their popularity and high demand from the public.

This is a great news that I would like to share with you through my site. Aha…now you know that I’m not only active in the virtual world, I exist in real world as well!

I watched Coffee Prince 1st Shop more than 6 months before. Honestly, I don’t appreciate Yoon Eun-Hye boyish behaviour in this drama, but her acting is really so superb that I can’t find any similarity between this character and the naive princess’s in Goong.

Two months after I posted the piano sheet from this drama, a talented supporting actor passed away in an accident. He caught my attention and made me feel like watching his other dramas.

Too bad, it could never happen again.

That’s sad isn’t it?

Anyway, why this piano sheet? The truth is…

Someone requested for it lah. (Nothing exciting…)

If you’ve watched this drama before, this song is composed by Choi Han Sung (played by Lee Sun Gyun), Choi Han Kyul’s cousin (played by Gong Yoo).

You’re right, I am in Shanghai.

I really feel like singing the legendary “Shanghai Bund” (上海滩) when I’m at the bund enjoying the nice view. The sailing boats really make Shanghai so Shanghai when they pass by the signature buildings:

Ah Doe has prepared one piano sheet for the ocassion:

Although this is not a new song, it’s considered a classic. It’s the theme song for the drama of the same name, in which Chow Yun Fatt (周润发) played the leading role.

This piano sheet is in C Major, i.e. the original key. Lyrics and chords included, difficulty level is moderate.

I have to cut short my elaboration on this piano sheet because I’m in a hurry…
