The original singer of "Excerpts" is Huang Yue.

"Excerpts" is a song written and composed by Mao Hui and sung by Huang Yue. It is included in Huang Yue's album "Mortal World + The Lord of the Rings + Excerpts" released on June 15, 2004. In 2004, Huang Yue won the Most Popular Mainland Newcomer Award on the Music Pioneer List for this song. Before releasing this song, Huang Yue was also one of millions of Leslie Cheung fans.

Leslie Cheung's dazzling star journey and his obsession with career, love, songs and dramas deeply influenced Huang Yue. Huang Yue especially wanted to use a song to recall this idol who was admired by thousands of people. When he told his thoughts to his friend Mao Hui, the two hit it off. Mao Hui used Huang Yue's description of Leslie Cheung's dream-like life. After much thinking, I finally wrote this piece of "Excerpted Opera".

Song Appreciation

This song is very difficult. Huang Yue spent 6 days in and out of the studio. Finally, after a few days of brewing emotions, I finished it in one go with my admiration for Leslie Cheung. This song is full of nostalgia for Leslie Cheung. While singing about regret and pain, it also sings about Leslie Cheung's beautiful life, which is like a drama and a dream.

The song supports the skeleton of the entire melody through the integration of Peking Opera singing and orchestral music. Through Huang Yue's perfect singing, a soul-stirring and touching sentiment is highlighted. The lyrics are very suitable for Leslie Cheung. They express Leslie Cheung's life and lonely mood very aptly. When listening to this song, another scene of Leslie Cheung begins to play before my eyes. life.
