Busy filming Mei Lanfang in the mainland, Leon received HK-TW Song Award for 愛是傻得起 (Love Can Be Silly), Most Outstanding Music Video Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Past Years Favorite Music Video Award, Outstanding Music Video Directorial Award, and Asia Pacific Most Outstanding All-Around Artist Award at the Sprite China Original Music Chart Awards, becoming the biggest winner. He smiled and said that filming everyday and suddenly singing onstage, he felt a little not used to it. He had filmed for seven straight nights. Before attending the awards ceremony, he got off of work at six in the morning, so it was quite hectic. During that time, he felt it was like living in Shanghai. Regardless of Christmas, New Years, and Lunar New Year, he spent through them working. On the 31st, he was supposed to take time off to promote An Empress And The Warriors, but the production crew would not allow it. Afterwards, he'll promote the movie again. It's been awhile since he last released an album. Asked when one will be released, he said, "People will say there's no freshness if an album is released too quickly, but releasing less people will also say something. The most important is whether the songs suit fans' taste. There's pressure whether releasing fast or slow. Composers are not machines. They need to breathe as well."
Also at the same place that night and frequently rumored to be at odds with Leon, Miriam Yeung and him were like old friends backstage. Leon put his hand on Miriam's shoulder and asked if his hand is cold. She joked that she has already lost all feeling. As she already selected to wear a halter dress, she thought she could withstand the cold singing only one song. Never thought that she lost all feelings to her hands and feet.
