This is an MP3 of Faye Wong (王菲) singing “Les Rues de Paris” in a live performance in Hong Kong in 1994. It has never been included in an official release. I’ts been available online (audio only) for some time, but I never got around to posting it in Faye Wong Today — that is, until now.

RM90m comeback offer for Faye
By BEH YUEN HUI
[Daily Chilli]

WILL Faye Wong make a comeback for a lucrative RM90mil?

Faye Wong has yet to respond to the speculation

Rumour has it that a China corporation had made an offer to the pop queen to return to singing and acting next year.

The company has offered Wong an astronomical fee of RMB180mil (RM90mil) for a three- to five-year contract.

However, the 40-year-old celebrity has yet to respond to the speculation.

She appears to be enjoying her role as a housewife and is concentrating in bringing up her two daughters – Dou Jingtong and Li Yan.

Jingtong, 12, was of Wong and her singer husband Dou Wei while Yan, three, is from her current marriage with actor Li Yapeng.

Wong, who is currently residing in Beijing, was seen happily shopping with her family.

Wong has taken an indefinite break from the entertainment industry since she married Li in 2005.

After giving birth to Yan, Wong has spent all her time seeking medical treatment for her daughter’s cleft lip.

She and Li had also set up the Smile Angel Foundation to help children with clefts. Although she made a public appearance at the foundation’s fund-raising event in 2006, she had opted not to speak or sing.

At the same event the next year, Wong had mentioned that she would not return to the musical scene in 2008.

Now that the first stage of Yan’s cleft lis operations has been completed, numerous movie moguls and music companies are eyeing her for a comeback.

Early this year, Wong had done a shampoo advertisement for RMB20mil (RM10mil).

Her manager Chan Ka-ying said Wong would return when she has rested enough.

This is Faye Wong’s (王菲) live solo of “Lake Waves” (洪湖水浪打浪, Honghu Waves), in a performance to celebrate Hong Kong’s return in 1997. She is accompanied by Liu Shih-kun (刘诗昆) on piano. (Source: NetEase ent.163.com.) The MP3 audio was ripped from the video. This is a rare performance, and many have never seen or heard it.

This Faye Wong (王菲) and Sally Yeh (葉倩文) duet, “Never Give Up” (永不放棄), was added to YouTube by 1992wtk on 26 Oct. 2009. The video is audio only. The mp3 audio version below was ripped from the video. I’d never heard this before. At the 1:34 mark, the banter between the two is really cool. The song and tune are catchy. Look out. You won’t able to stop listening. Can you tell when Faye’s singing?

Faye Wong (王菲) and Li Yan (李嫣) at the wedding of Wang Xue Bing (王学兵) and Sun Ning (孙宁) on 16 Oct. 2009. The event was held at Beijing’s East Third Ring Road. Yan caught the bouquet thrown by the bride.

In this 1992 video, Faye Wong (王菲) and Sandy Lam (林憶蓮) perform live on TV, taking turns at a revolving mike. The quality of this video is superior to anything that’s been available up until now. This video was added to YouTube by sandyandme3 on 4 Oct. 2009.

Here’s a rare remix of Faye Wong’s (王菲) “Anaesthesia,” which was included as a bonus track in the Japan release of Scenic Tour (Chang You, Oct. 1998). The original version appeared in Faye Wong 1997 (Sep. 1997), which was Faye’s first EMI album. It was added to YouTube by wanderlustliu on 3 Oct. 2009. The audio below was ripped from the video.

hey, sorry I know this isn’t relevant but I didn’t know how else to get in touch with feifan or post something.
There’s a YouTube user that has some videos of Faye’s most recent concert. It looks like the one in China. The videos are pretty short, but they have a really close spot. Faye even dances a little in New Tenant (xinfangke)! There’s 6 videos. Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/sujuan70

Update: away, on September 22nd said:

cool, thanks for posting these. I thought they were quite a find. And I’m pretty sure this is her concert in Beijing, China, late August 2004, judging by the outfits. Either that or she wore the same outfits elsewhere (haha, not a chance!).

Hypnotize (Cui Mian)

If I’m Real (Jia Ru) and I Only Want to Keep a Promise to You (Zhi Yuan)

Sunflower (Yang Bao)

The Last Blossom (Kaidao Tu Mi)

To Love (Jiang Ai)

New Tenant (Xin Fang Ke)

Yan Kiat uploaded these two Faye Wong (王菲) videos to YouTube on 21 August 2009. In his notes, he thanks kcskywelcome1, who uploaded the originals. “I’m Willing” (Mystery, Apr. 1994) was originally in two segments, but Yan Kiat combined the two in this version. He says that this video “Is very precious, and I have never seen it before.” He says that the original “Cold War” (Hundred Thousand Whys, Sep. 1993) had disappeared from YouTube so this is a re-upload.

Anyone know the secret trick to vote repeatedly for this poll? It is obviously that Tian Zhen & Na Ying fans were using some trick to hide their IP so they can vote many times a day. Look at the votes, yesterday Na Ying(345,574) is leading many votes, but today Tian Zhen(391,316) overtook her.

There’s a software called smart hide I.P i guess. It can change your I.P address to anyone or any country I.P address. Can try google it. =D Faye Wong go go go!
