In 2005 , Chinese media began to report that Daniel Wu had formed a boyband , Alive , with Terence Yin , Andrew Lin , and Conroy Chan . Wu and his band mates posted information , updates , personal thoughts ( including slamming Hong Kong Disneyland , for which they were spokespersons ) , and the band 's music , at their official website . In 2006 , Wu made his writing and directorial debut with '' The Heavenly Kings '' , which chronicles Alive 's formation and exploits . After the film 's release , however , it was revealed that '' The Heavenly Kings '' was actually a mockumentary of the Hong Kong pop music industry , and Alive was constructed purely as a vehicle to make the movie ; the film 's characters represented only 10-15 % of their real-life counterparts and much of the footage blurred the line between fiction and reality . Wu admitted his own singing voice " sucked really bad , " and the band had their voices digitally enhanced for its music , to prove that " it 's easy to fake it . " Despite some backlash from the media over being intentionally fed false information in the movie about illegal downloads of the band 's music , Wu won the best new director award for the film at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards , an achievement he called " a group effort . " The film has also been nominated for Best Original Film Song at the same Awards ceremony : Composer : Davy Chan ; Lyricist : Li Jin Yi and Singer : Alive
