Recently Bingbing Li has released a personal debut album. On the inside of the album Bingbing Li has placed a small, handwritten speech to everyone with a few profound thoughts. She has worked tirelessly on this new album until 3:00 in the morning, which has made the staff a bit impatient to send the final version to the printers.

According to the issuing company the album (named after the actress) already has 30,000 pre-orders, which has made the company very happy and which now looks forward to her career. When the news about these preorders arrived it impressed the entire Zhao Baogang and Renquan, Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Li Xiaolu, Yi Nengjing, Zheng Huang, Tzong-Hann Lee, and Lin Yu all came to congratulate Bingbing along with many friends to witness this glorious moment. Bingbing Li was excited and moved to tears over the news. In a conference Haidie Group CEO, Mr Li Peng and Bi Xiao Shi, (also on the scen), said, “Bingbing Li is an excellent artist, and since she has entered the Haidie group she has worked very hard. We add to her ‘hard’ accomplishments her new music career, she may not be the best, but I think that she has made the most effort. She has always been on time to study and recording classes, and she studies and practices until satisfied. Let us also remember that she’s such a [great] spirit. I hope the her concerts draw an even greater following.” The implication is that Bingbing Li’s music career is off to a fantastic start with a very promising road ahead.

When Bingbing Li joined Haidi she did not rush to record a record but spent a year in preparation before finally producing a debut album. Bingbing Li said she is very new to the field of music, and is very happy with this opportunity to study, and with the help of I Shixiong Lin Jun Jie she has been able to learn a lot. Lin Yu has also been an excellent singer-songwriter and he wrote to her the angel [song?] She has a lot of good friends whom have helped her along the way and has advanced with Li Jui-chul’s cooperation, singing the theme song for “Kung Fu King” (Forbidden Kingdom in the U.S.) To paraphrase: She now has a new perspective about music. Although she is still starting out her music career having a first album has made her very happy, and she hopes that if you like her films that you wil also enjoy her new album.

As the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games draws closer, Bingbing Li, who has already participated as a Olympic torch bearer in Beijing, has urged people to travel “green,” using more subways and bus transports to ensure a smooth traffic. Beijing is China’s window to the world, and smiling faces will abound to greet foreign friends from abroad, as a smiling Beijing population will be the best business card.

In the latest news, Bingbing Li will serve as an announcer at the Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympics on August 8th.

日前，李冰冰发行了个人首张专辑《自.己》，这张被李冰冰自己称呼为“生命中第一张唱片”，可见其对于她的重要性。唱片内页的插图上李冰冰手写的小感言更是博来众人喝彩，看似不经意的简单几行话却韵味深刻，据李冰冰本人透露，这是唱片送印刷厂前一夜，李冰冰做完当日的其他工作后着手完成，从构思到落笔成章直到凌晨3 点，其中还有一段因为觉得不够好又在原稿上面直接添加完成,本来说等第二日重新写一遍，被心急的工作人员直接取走印刷，这也让追求完美的李冰冰心生小小遗憾，可也成为另一种“不完美的完美”。

据发行公司透露，李冰冰《自.己》一经推出，发布会当日就有将近3万张专辑被预购出去，足见大家对李冰冰本人以及其音乐作品的期待。发布会当日来捧场的嘉宾也是星光闪耀赵宝刚、张扬、任泉、黄晓明、陆毅、李小璐、伊能静、黄征、李宗瀚、林宇中等都到场祝贺，能与众多好友一起见证此光荣时刻，李冰冰激动得泪流满面。在发布会上，海蝶集团CEO李鹏先生与毕晓世先生也到场祝贺，他们表示：“李冰冰是一位很优秀的艺人，自她进入海蝶以后就表现的非常努力和认真，所以我们给她加上‘勤勉’的封号，在音乐上她可能不是最优秀的，但我以为她是最努力的。在海蝶森林学习和录音的时候总是准时上课，到了下课的时候她还是在学习、在练习，直到自己觉得满意为止。所以她的这种进取精神也让我们记忆犹新，我忠心的希望她的音乐会更上一层楼。”两位高层并送上水晶帆船，寓意李冰冰未来音乐道路扬帆起航、一帆风顺。

李冰冰加盟海蝶后，并没有急于出唱片，而是准备了一年才最终酝酿出这张唱片。李冰冰表示：在音乐领域还是新人，所以非常乐于向同门学习，而我和同门师兄林俊杰交流最多，并从中学到了很多东西；林宇中也是一名优秀的创作歌手,他给我写的《天使不要开玩笑》我个人非常喜欢，很多好朋友也特别喜欢；之前与李玖哲合作《功夫之王》主题歌《预感》也非常默契。在乐坛，我会把自己当做一个新人来看待从零做起。其实我很小就很喜欢唱歌，现在出了自己的第一张个人专辑心里十分高兴，也希望大家像支持我的电影一样支持我的新专辑。
