Manager Li Shu-Ting confirmed its validity and expressed, "Nicholas heading to Taiwan and shutting himself up to practise dancing was for the purpose of communicating with new Hong Kong producer."

《Nicholas Teo FROM NOW ON Live in Malaysia Concert》preparation stage can be said to be "One Unexpected Turn of Events, Three Folds". Firstly, it was the sponsor having internal investment policy changes and pulled out the fund temporarily. This let concert production team to "experience the horse turning over while the rider relies on it". Following the incident, Warner Music Malaysia took over the organising rights. Recently, Taiwan EMI encountered surprising staff split and caused the plans of releasing 《New Songs+Selection》record to change. "Right now, Malaysia and Singapore will first release the album in CD formats after March 20th. As for Taiwan, it will only be in April."

Original Producer Admitted to Hospital for Operation

At the time when it seemed all problems have been solved, a new one came up. "Nicholas' concert originally had a Taiwan producer who had worked on those of Wu Bai, Mayday, Chen Qi Zhen, Zhang Zhen Yue, Fish Leong and others. Since their events fall closely under the same category as his, we decided to collaborate with him. After Nicholas and this producer have gotten to know each other well and both had created some sparks, a situation beyond our expectations appeared."

It is actually the said producer discovered having tumour in his body and needs to be admitted to hospital for an operation. "Much matters have progressed halfway and we have come up with lots of ideas for the concert together. Still, we were notified two days ago that the person has to undergo an operation in the middle of March. Although this producer could fly over to Malaysia after that to put in effort for the concert, we hope that he could consider his health with importance and advised him to rest."

To date the concert will have another producer who has taken charge of Faye Wong, Sandy Lam and Miriam Yeung's concerts. "Nicholas has never met him. Apart from shutting up, this time going to Taiwan requires him to diligently exercise, practise dancing, ordering outfits and also communicate effectively with the new producer."

She expressed that Nicholas will only return to Malaysia after the 20th of this month and rehearse with Mac Chew and the music band he leads. "The concert will have a different theme and so he has to perform a different dance. He has already accepted the 'truth'. At present, he just wants to handle everything whole-heartedly and put on an outstanding performance on the 29th."
