Q (Reporter): When is the very first time you collaborate with Faye?
A (Zhang Ya Dong): I wrote a song for her in Tao Hao Zhi Ji(Ingratiate Oneself) album.
Q: It's been almost 2 years since Faye did release any album. Most of us are very anticipated and since you collaborate with her this time, do you mind to tell us about her upcoming album?
A: In term of music, I will use both electric and orchester instrument. The music will be a bit different, not that slow compare to last time. Previously, I focus on my own feeling, the result are too slow (refer to Fable album). Things which are too slow are not easy to comprehend by people. For example, the intro for "The Flower Out There "(Track 5 in Fable album) is long and beautiful, but people tend to asked "why not start singing?"
Q: Seems like Faye really admire your talent. The collaboration between both of you seems to have lots of chemistry. Any comment?
A: Without Faye, I don't have my career today. She helped me a lot, people in Taiwan and Hong Kong know me after I produced her album.
Q: How come both of you can have such a long term collaboration?
A: I know Faye for a long period and we share lots of similarity. We seldom talk but there is trust between us. Faye is a nice person, a very intrepid kind. I salute her for her personality. In fact, I like the collaboration between Faye and Dou Wei too. However, the relationship problem affected them yet I still looking forward for it.
Q: You help quite a number of artists to produce albums, why is Faye so outstanding among them?
A: She is confident. Her confidence influenced people around her. I think she sing very well. She has a very high aptitude.
Q: Is Faye's upcoming album a different one compared to her other albums?
A: I hope so, but not easy especially the sales. So it's hard to say.
Q: Every artist has different habits in the studio, what bout Faye?
A: She don't like to rest during recording. She prefer to complete the recording as planned.
Q: What is your favorite song at this moment?
A: Faye's latest composition - I Love You. Faye handed over to me and I will inlude it in my upcoming album. I like both the lyric and music of this song.

"No la, please don't scared me. But if I get the award, of course I'll receive it. But I think too rationally because untill now I still think that I don't know how to act. Actually, filming Chinese Odessey 2002 is the movie that I felt most to get involved with, where I did discussed the scripts with Tony Leung and Zhao Wei.
During ChungKing Express I really didn't know what I was doing back then. Very blur. But I need to thanx Tony Leung as well because he's really a good actor. But whenever I asked for his idea on how to act, he always replied: You know how to act already."
