Q: Why did you two choose to sing a duet in the TVB contest?
N: To be outstanding because there were no groups or contestants performing duet.
Q: Did you two receive any training in singing before?
N: We learned how to sing opera and duet in the university as
we were members of the school choir.
Q: Which type of songs do you like to perform more, opera or pop music?
N: I hope I can mix the two things together; that is, to add the ele- ments of classical music into pop music. Actually, I am doing this in our new album.
Q: Did you compose songs for other singers?
P: Yes, we usually composed na- ive songs.
Q: Why did you two enter the movie field?
P: Basically, we want to develop our potential in other fields. In fact, we have also done some sound mixing in movies
and television series.
Q: Do you think singing will be your life career?
P: Yes, I hope but the career life of an artist is rather very short, so I think I will go to business when I am 30.

N: He is active and always strives for the best in doing everything.
P: Patience. He never gives up whenever he has determined to do something.
Q: What do you dislike most of each other?
N: It is difficult to say because I have known him so well that I have accepted his every personality trait. May be it’s
worst for him to put too much pressure on himself.
