Through the highs and lows, Wang released popular albums and songs including "Flying Higher," "Blooming Life" and "In Spring." When he sang a patriotic rock anthem "I Love You, China," his father finally seemed to reconcile with him and felt proud of him before passing away.
Wang received even more popularity after he became a coach on "The Voice of China," a hugely successful TV singing contest show. The film narrative however is not only about Wang, but also about the changing times in recent eras of Chinese modern history.
Regarding all the titles, including "King of Chinese Music" imposed on him by DJ Youdai, Wang said to China.org.cn that he considers himself just a normal guy with a serious work attitude and ethic. "When I grow older and when my songs are no longer popular in the future, then will I go down to the lowest point of life? Really? No. I will only feel lost when I don't write a satisfying song or when I don't do things to benefit others. I'm a musician, but first and foremost I'm a human. Vanity will change or disappear through time."
The singer said he had seen a dozen cuts from the documentary film before the final piece was roll out, and even Zhang Ziyi provided her advice on how to improve the post-production. Wang said he was touched by some minor moments and details in the film, such as when his mother and sister shed tears for him due to their worries over his showbiz lifestyle. "I seldom see them like that. I'm speechless to describe the feeling. "
"Thank you to Wang Feng for letting me into his life and allowing me to interview his family," director Maxwell Sanderson said. "There were a lot of fun during the film process and I enjoyed the whole journey."
