Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin didn't cross paths before joining the variety show "The Sound of Life", and the two met only through this program.
The variety show "Sound Born" is hosted by famous host He Gui and invites many singers from the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan*** to sing classic Cantonese songs together. Singers Mao Yiqiu, Liu Shijun, Li Jian, Lin Zixiang, and Ye Qianwen have participated in this program. In addition to the resident guests, "Sound Born" also invited Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin as special guests to the program in order to attract viewers.
Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin did not know each other before.
While Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin are both very famous celebrities, it is because Wang Yuan is now a student at Berklee College of Music. Wang Yuan has not had much time to socialize in order to balance his studies and work, while Zhang Zhilin's focus has always been on acting, so there have been very few opportunities to meet up with Wang Yuan in the singing field. It wasn't until the two of them participated in the program "Sound Born" together that they got to know each other.
Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin's First Collaboration
On the stage of "The Sound of Life", Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin sang the song "The Years and Years are Like a Song". The song "The Years are Like a Song" is a Cantonese song sung by Eason Chan, which was once used as the theme song of the TV series "Up in the Sky" starring Chilam Cheung. Wang Yuan and Chilam Cheung performed very well when they sang this song. Both were dressed in casual suits, and the two's high facial features made the singing a very eye-catching sight.
Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin appreciate each other very much
Although it was the first time for Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhilin to work together, the two found out that the other one is a very good and also very dedicated singer through this cooperation opportunity. Because Wang Yuan's Cantonese is not particularly standard, Zhang Zhilin is very patient and serious to help Wang Yuan to correct. With Zhang Zhilin's help, Wang Yuan has also made rapid progress, and when he performed the song "The Years are Like a Song", the pronunciation of many words was very standard.
