"Wandering in the ruins, submerged in the fog, remaining powerless, a solitary bird unable to fly. Escaped in the darkness, depressed in the bondage, struggling, sleepy, I am silent..." In the ending scene of the movie "Customs Front", Zhang Yunnan, played by Jacky Cheung, and Zhou Zhengli, played by Nicholas Tse, sit on the beach and look into the distance of the sea. The ending song plays immediately. The lyrics show the theme of the movie and the voice of Jacky Cheung's character.
html On June 30, at the Chengdu road show of "Customs Front", starring Nicholas Tse came to the scene to share that he is also the composer of the theme song "Far Far Away".In movies, it is rare for the theme song to be completed entirely by the collaboration of the leading actors, not to mention that this time it is a powerful collaboration between Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse. Speaking of the original intention of the creation, Nicholas Tse's feelings came from the scene where he and Jacky Cheung watched the sea on the beach.
In "Customs Front", Jacky Cheung plays a high-functioning bipolar disorder patient. He has experienced the heavy pressure of life and work, and his sensitive and restless heart needs comfort. Nicholas Tse's role is his colleague and his apprentice. The relationship between the two is both teacher and friend.
"I was on the beach at that time. During the scene, he pointed to the sea and told me that he hoped to go to that place, a place far away. This scene was very important. I was very touched after filming this scene, so I wrote it when I got back. A music demo." After Nicholas Tse finished writing the song, he sent it to Jacky Cheung. Unexpectedly, the other party confirmed to him again and again: "If you don't want to sing it, then I will sing it!"
Nicholas Tse said with a smile. The song was written for Jacky Cheung's character. Just like the truest confession of his heart revealed in the song, he longs to find the beating heart, even if it is wrapped in powerlessness and regret.

"I think it is very rare to have such a cooperation. The leading actor of a movie can also sing the theme song of the movie, and it is such a form of cooperation." Nicholas Tse said.
Interestingly, most of the light signs held by the audience at the Chengdu road show today came from Nicholas Tse's fan club, not the movie fan club, which surprised Nicholas Tse. "We rarely see fans at movie roadshows instead of movie fans, which is quite interesting." At the scene, Nicholas Tse also answered the question raised by fans about the style of the theme song.
"There are many of my own styles in "The Farthest Place", such as heavier rock. I have been paying attention to Jacky Brother's playlists for so many years. In fact, he doesn't sing this type very much, but this time Our cooperation hopes to bring some unique feelings." Nicholas Tse explained that the entire song from a cappella to explosion, then to a cappella and then to explosion again, is actually the journey of the character played by Jacky Cheung in the movie.
Currently, the songs are available in Mandarin and Cantonese and are available on all platforms. In the dark smoke, is there any emotional sustenance in your heart? "Far Far Away" is the inner struggle and cry of the characters. Jacky Cheung uses extremely delicate and moving singing to evoke ripples in the heart. It is a desolate surrounding, a helpless mood, but also endless expectations. Using this song as the theme song of the movie makes the character's image three-dimensional and full, and also makes the story go deeper, making the viewer think deeply and resonate with the listener.
