After the two expressed their opinions, they intertwined their hearts, as if eager to stick to their feelings and aspirations and push the mood of the song to a climax. In this way, the more I see the helplessness of the female voice in sadness, the persistence of the male voice in affirmation. Sandy Lam and Jonathan Lee sang wonderfully, and they cooperated perfectly, full of touching artistic charm.
When love becomes the creative background of the past
1992, Sandy Lam will switch to a new record company, and Rolling Stone Records and UFO Records will compete for Sandy Lam. At that time, Chen Kaige found Jonathan Lee of Rolling Stone Records, hoping that Jonathan Lee could write songs for his film Farewell My Concubine.
Of course, Chen Kaige's real idea is to keep the songs as simple as possible, because Farewell My Concubine doesn't need the power of music to achieve anything. On the other hand, Jonathan Lee has his own ideas. When Jonathan Lee wrote When Love Is Past, he hoped to use this song to attract Sandy Lam to switch to Rolling Stone Records.
Only after the song was written, Chen Kaige resolutely disagreed with the pop songs appearing in his films, because it didn't match the grand narrative of the films. Later, Feng Hsu, the boss of Farewell My Concubine production company, finally persuaded Chen Kaige to agree to use this song as a movie song.
