[NEWS] Han Geng challenges emceeing role on Music Billboard Charts, endures 6 hours of discomfort for new look!


Han Geng, who is releasing his second solo album after a lapse of two years, visited the “Mengniu Yoghurt Music Billboard Charts” the other day in order to film the countdown promo video for his new album, and challenged the role of the emcee which he isn’t very good at, introducing the five title tracks from his new album. According to reports, Han Geng will hold his second concert at the Wukesong Stadium on 28th July and release his second solo album on the 29th, thereby kick-starting Han Geng’s 2012 music year.

Han Geng spent 6 hours to bleach his hair for new image, new album overthrows “Impression of Han Geng”

On that day, Han Geng arrived at the recording studio with his platinum blonde hair, causing the staff to be astonished. When asked about this image, Han Geng admitted that he went through quite a lot of hardships in order to achieve the purest shade of blonde, spending a whopping 6 hours to dye his hair. Aside from that, in order to maintain this style until the press conference for the announcement of his second album and concert tour on the 19th of June, he had to bleach his hair once again on the day prior to the recording because the colour had faded. In line with the style of Han Geng’s new album, the theme for the shooting of the promotional videos centred on the concept of ‘power’. Han Geng was adept at executing the moves (for the filming), giving off a feral, masculine aura. However, when he jokes around with the director of whom he was close to, he exudes a youthful appearance instead.

Regardless whether it was the concept or the music style, the MV teaser of “Wild Cursive”, the title song for his new album which was released the other day, was a declaration of Han Geng’s intent of changing his style. Han Geng personally likes rock songs and electronic dance numbers, so the new album’s production and song selection strictly adhered to Han Geng’s personal ideations, and the new album is definitely worth the wait.


Han Geng challenges emceeing role, laughs and admits that it’s not easy

After the filming for his promotional videos had ended, Han Geng made a special appearance and stepped into the role of the emcee for the sake of his new album. Although he isn’t usually very eloquent, Han Geng held on to the cue cards and practiced repeatedly in a very serious manner, and he had a solemn expression on all the time. Despite having a tint of nervousness, Han Geng was rather relaxed through it all, and when he talked about the concept of his new album and the stories behind the scenes of the filming, he became very animated, showing his affection and confidence for his new album. Later on, when he talked about the experiences of his emceeing challenge this time, Han Geng took a shot at his good friend Da Zuo, saying that it isn’t that fun to be a host. However, he exhibited deep interest in the small test this time, and said that he would make another attempt in the future if the opportunity presents itself. In this week’s Chinese popularity indicator of the “Mengniu Yoghurt Music Billboard Charts”, Han Geng without a doubt became the champion again, receiving 3109 votes (63.1%) of the total votes.
