After watching Miss Li speaking it’s pretty good motivation to want to learn Chinese.

According to the Associated Press, Bingbing Li will be releasing her first solo album by the end of June, 2008.

(Editor’s note: Miss Li actually says more but because we could not translate it adequately two of her lines at the end have been removed. However she speaks further about how she has learned to sing by the guidance of teachers and to find her own voice.)

June 11, actress Bingbing Li will be releasing her first solo album. This reporter learned yesterday that  the album is to be released by the end of June while Miss Li was shooting album’s title song “The Love of his Life” at MV Studios. Bingbing Li was wearing a white gown at the time and looked like an angel surrounded by a beautiful screen and hundreds of lit meditation candles.

“The love of his life” is by Shixiong Lin Jun Jie. This is a personal love theme song created by MV from Taiwan and directed by the famous director Lam Kam; the design is also by Jiang Yipeng  from Taiwan.  Bingbing Li said, “I like Mr Lam’s and the MV shooting style and the melody created by Lin Jun Jie Shi Xiong Qimei is also like Korean dramas.

For Bingbing Li to make “The love of his life” is a lot of hard work. To capture the most beautiful lighting conditions Bingbing Li and the MV crew members had to get up at 5:00 am for the 7:00 am shoot. In the studio, the director also invited a string ensemble along with a pianist to the set as Miss Li’s accompaniment.

With regard to the expectations of the new album, Bingbing said, “This is his life in the first album, the feelings are not the same, I do feel like this album is also a learning process.”

中新网6月11日电 女星李冰冰 将于6月底发行首张个人专辑，昨日，记者探班了李冰冰拍摄专辑中主打歌《一生的爱》MV片场。李冰冰一身白色长裙宛若天使，在数百只点燃的蜡烛中沉思，画面优美。

《一生的爱》是由同门师兄林俊杰 亲自操刀创作的一首大爱主题歌曲，其MV由台湾著名导演林锦和执导，造型设计也是由台湾著名企划江一朋先生亲自打理。李冰冰表示：很喜欢林锦和拍摄MV的风格，师兄林俊杰创作的旋律也凄美得像韩剧，自己很喜欢。

李冰冰为《一生的爱》MV吃了不少苦。为了争取最美的光线，李冰冰和MV剧组成员清晨5点就起床，7点开拍。在片场，导演还请来了弦乐团现场为李冰冰伴奏，钢琴的伴奏，更是烘托出磅礴大气的旋律。

关于对新专辑的期待，李冰冰表示：这是自己生命中的第一张专辑，自己的感觉特别不一样，我觉得自己做这张唱片就像是在煲汤，也是一种学习的过程；在加入海蝶的这段时间，我从一个唱歌的“学生”到慢慢找到了自我，最早的时候我只限于模仿，慢慢地，从老师们的指导中，我从中找到自我、接受自我到坚持自我，对于唱歌本身，我觉得我有自己的态度，并不单纯是情绪的发泄。
