Translation by Dr. Fawzia Mai Tung & Dimash InfoStation
Walking through time, leaving truth behind,
Who is to blame for your loneliness and mine?
Desperate silence, speaking out passionately
Neither is salvation, only the last resort.
Happiness tumbled down from its pinnacle.
Erased memories sparkle into candlelight.
Those estranged people are you and I.
Sorrow can be taken away, but not passion.
I did not fear renouncing all, only caring for our embrace.
Time can be taken away, but not old dreams.
Tossing and struggling for you, I learn the fervor of selflessness.
My faked indifference and hidden pain
Are only craving to be understood.
The one I cherish the most can hurt me the deepest.
But there is still love inside, stirring up my emotions.
Happiness tumbled down from its pinnacle.
Erased memories sparkle into candlelight.
Those estranged people are you and I.
Sorrow can be taken away, but not passion.
I did not fear renouncing all, only caring for our embrace.
Time can be taken away, but not old dreams.
Tossing and struggling for you, I learn the fervor of selflessness.
Love is insanity tinged with madness.
Sorrow can be taken away, but not passion.
I did not fear renouncing all, only caring for our embrace.
Time can be taken away, but not old dreams.
Tossing and struggling for you, I learn the fervor of selflessness,
Host: Thank you. Put our hands together for Dimash. Very beautiful vocal performance.
Thank you!
Hello!
Say hello to everyone. Let's welome Director Chen Zhengdao to come on stage and chat about this song and Dimash. Welcome!
Host: Now may I ask the director and Dimash to say hello to everyone here.
Director: Hello my friends from the news media!
(To Dimash) I finally get to see you in person.
Host: Is this the first time you meet him?
Director: I watched him many times on 'Singer 2017'.
Host: Is this the first time you meet the director?
(This is) the first time, but I know the director is influential in Chinese culture and has a lot of excellent works.
It's my great pleasure to know you.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Well, may I ask the director why you would think of having Dimash sing the theme song?
The movie has a touch of si-fi and magic realism.
Dimash's voice as demonstrated on 'Singer 2017' matches the aura of the movie and has a magical feeling.
So you think that his voice is magical?
But do you know that many girls find his looks dreamy?
Dimash, do you know about the director's comments on your voice as being magical?
Thank you very much.
Because you have such a high expectation on me, I was trying my best to sing this song without making any mistakes, no matter how hard the Chinese lyrics is for me.
I am standing here trying to repay your trust in me.
Well, he has mentioned a very important thing - he said that Chinese is very difficult.
We have a special VCR documentation about how hard Dimash practiced this Chinese song.
Let's see how difficult it was for Dimash.
Let's watch the VCR!
speaking out passionately
Neither is salvation
only the last resort.
Walking through time, leaving truth behind,
Walking through time, leaving truth behind,
Painful experience even when you think of it now, right?
(Interpreter please)
Very difficult!
Do you wish to take away this part of your memory?
No, I don't want it to be taken away.
Every moment in China will be in my memory forever.
So I would like to thank the audience, the fans and all the staff of the movie.
Also, I have to say that I am very happy to have the opportunity to sing the song for the movie and perform on stages in China.
Alright, Dimash just mentioned that you appreciate the opportunity very much.
Do you like to watch suspense/mystery films in your spare time?
To be honest, I am not a big fan of movies, but this one is my favorite type of movie.
I will watch it carefully.
Dimash is being very modest as he spends most of his time on music.
We have shot a series of photos of Dimash related to the movie 'Battle of Memories'.
We think that the expression of Dimash (in those photos) perfectly matches with the movie theme.
Someone even said that Dimash must be the murderer of the two homicide cases.
Let's see the photos! (photos on screen)
What do you think of these photos?
Mr Duan is looking at him.
Only three photos?
What do you think, director?
Does Dimash look like a murderer?
I think that Dimash is very different from Mr Huang Bo.
What is different between them?
They seem to be from different worlds.
But they seem to...look, their gestures are similar but seem to have different thoughts on their minds.
You are making jokes on Huang Bo just because he is not here today.
(laughs) Making jokes on Huang Bo?
Alright, what do you think, Dimash?
Do you think that your image matches the movie?
In order to be suitable for the movie, one has to be professional just like all of you.
But there is a Kazakh saying: even if you don't make it, it does not hurt to try.
If you think I can be an actor, maybe I can also try it in the future. Only time would tell.
Really? Try to act?
Maybe.
Really?
(To director) Would you like to give him an opportunity since he has intention to try acting?
I would have loved to. His looks actually match characters like this.
Is that so?
What kind of role would you design for him?
Which role between Mr Huang Bo's and Mr Duan Yihong's is more suitable for Dimash?
Or you would like to write something new?
I think it's really hard (to choose) because the roles Mr Huang and Mr Duan play in the movie are irreplaceable.
I will write a new character (for Dimash).
New role? Alright, let's look forward to Dimash's new role to come soon.
And thanks to director for sharing his opinions.
(To director) Now please return to your seat and take a break.
Thank you!
Well, the song is named 'Eternal Memory'.
There are always memories that we want to keep in our minds 'eternally'.
Now please welcome the main cast crew to share with us the memories they want to keep in mind.
Welcome, Mr Duan Yihong and Ms Yang Zishan!
Well, have you heard of the square dance?
Great. I have not.
(Music) Do you remember your moves, Zishan? Can three of you dance together?
You never heard of the square dance?
No, but I think it should be great.
So what do you think of Zishan when she's dancing?
A great girl.
Multi-talented. She is able to handle different styles.
Dimash please sit in the chair.
Machine: Hello patient! May I ask if you want to delete a certain part of your memory?
This is not the right tone.
What shall Dimash say?
There is nothing to be deleted from my memory, everything is good.
Then you won't be able to leave the chair.
You will see.
Please lie down on the operations chair. Memory scan starts now.
The scan's complete. Please sit up and watch the screen.
(Music - 'Korkemim')
This doesn't have to be deleted?
And the hairstyle...looks flowy. It looks ok.
I would like to delete the memory of that hairstyle,
which was five years ago. I thought it was great at that time.
That hairstyle and those moves were designed by you, right?
For special effects.
D.I.Y special effects?
So cute! So Dimash wants to delete the memory of the hairstyle and the rest looks fine?
I don't know, isn't deleting the hairstyle enough?
Tell us about the background of this video, is this a music video?
This is my first piece of work.
The music video was filmed in my hometown Aktobe by my father's team with the help of his friends.
And he is here (sitting among the audience) now.
Really? Which one?
Wow, welcome! Nice to meet you!
Dimash's father is also good looking!
The first music video filmed by father is such a precious memory that must not be deleted.
Of course, the first music video was filmed by my father. As you can see he has been accompanying me all the time.
I want to thank my father for being with me wherever I go - to overseas or to participate in contests.
Thank you, Dimash's father, for your efforts and devotion.
You have raised and taught Dimash very well. Thank you! (Applause)
You have raised Dimash very well. Thank you! (Applause)
Dimash, this is your first time performing a theme song for a Chinese movie. How did you feel besides (the difficulty of) the language?
Any part of the song "Eternal Memory" is particularly touching?
Firstly, it is my pleasure to sing this song.
It is everyone's effort which brought me the opportunity to sing a theme song of a movie in such short time.
Meanwhile, I would like to thank the organizers for trusting me with the work.
Speaking of the music, I believe that not only myself, but also everyone would love the song for its unique melody.
The biggest challenge for me was to sing it with the right emotion - to do this, I must understand the meaning of each sentence.
Recording other songs usually take an hour or so but we spent several days recording this song.
I would like to thank my team for helping me understand the lyrics word by word.
I tried my best and hope that you will like it.
You became an overnight sensation in China after you participated in the show 'Singer 2017'.
How has it impacted and changed your life?
My life has definitely been changed to some extent and it is positive. But I myself have not changed.
To be honest, I never thought that I would have gained such an influence in such a short time.
I receive letters from various places under the influence of 'Singer 2017'.
I was shocked when I arrived at the airport the day after the first episode of 'Singer 2017' went on air,
many people recognized me and showed enthusiasm. After all, I was just an ordinary young man the day before.
I am grateful for 'Singer 2017' which made me who I am today.
Because of 'Singer 2017', I had the opportunity to meet everyone and receive a lot of support.
