An ambassador has been appointed!

 

【Malaysia / The Malay Mail / Ng Suzhen 】
The biennial PWH Music Awards, a major event for the local Chinese music scene, takes on a fresh twist as an ambassador has been named for the first time to take on the duty of promoting the PWH awards locally and internationally.
 
There is nobody better suited to take on the role than Michael Wong (right), who made a surprise appearance at the launch on the night of April 5.
 
Wong first broke into the music scene as one half of a duo with fellow musician, Victor Wong (not related) in 1995.
 
Considered as one of Malaysia’s pioneers who made it to the international scene, the two claimed huge popularity in Taiwan.
 
In 2000, the duo broke up to pursue solo careers. In 2005, Wong hit the jackpot with the song Fairytale (Tong Hua), which saw his popularity soar in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.
 
Fondly known as the ‘big brother’ in the local Chinese music scene, he has always been present for the PWH awards since the start of his music career and has bagged a large number of awards purplewhich include Best Composer, Media Choice Award, Best Local Song and Best International Song.
 
In 2008, Wong announced that he will refrain from submitting his works for the PWH awards to allow room for new artistes to shine.
 
“The decision was made while I was looking at newcomers in the music industry receiving their awards on stage.
 
"Memories of when I started out came flooding back. It was a tough journey and I thought it was time for the new generation to have what I had back then, to feel the joy of knowing that there are people out there who enjoy your music,” said Wong in an interview during the launch at Nikko Hotel.
 
Wong came very close to giving up his music career. When he started out, there was no such thing as being a full-time musician.
 
His mother had even convinced him that singing should never be a main job for him. He already had an appointment letter in hand at a computer engineering company in KL but on the day he was supposed to start work, he never showed up.
 
“I remember riding a bike through my hometown, Ipoh, thinking about my job. I couldn’t accept the fact that a nine-to-five job would be all my future held. The next thing I did was to take up an audio engineering course. My family thought I was quite immature then but I convinced my mum that music was my real love.”
 
This year, besides being appointed ambassador, Wong will also be composing the theme song for the PWH Awards 2010, which he has already penned but is still awaiting lyrics.
 
The song will be performed by the Top 20 singers nominated in the awards. When enquired if the song will be included in his next album, Wong said he hopes that the song can be released as a single instead.
 
“It won’t be included in my album. I hope that the song can be released as a stand-alone single to be sold and that the profits can be donated to the PWH Awards.”
 
Being a role model with a perfect attendance list for the awards show, Wong laments that he was never an outstanding student at school.
 
Admitting to be a timid and shy boy when he was younger, Wong was never chosen to be the class monitor or the prefect.
 
“The class monitor was always the tall ones who sat at the back. I was the short boy who sat in the front two rows,” he laughed.
 
However, times have changed since then as Wong has stepped out of the limelight to under the spotlight, especially with his current title of ambassador.
 
Taking on the title, Wong feels that there are many people who already have a set of expectations for what it takes to be the ambassador for the awards, which he is afraid that he will not be able to fulfil.
 
“The pressure is there, but I’ll be giving my best in taking up the role,” he promised.
 
Known to be a tough awards show to organise, the PWH Awards has always faced the danger of being cancelled due to financial constraints.
 
Held every two years for the past 23 years, this year marks PWH Awards' 11th year in Malaysia. Organised by the Entertainment Journalists Association (known as Persatuan Wartawan Hiburan Wilayah Persekutuan or PWHWP), it is made up of entertainment journalists from the various Chinese dailies in Malaysia that includes Sin Chew Daily and China Press.
 
A total of 24 awards will be given out this year and submissions have already started.
 
The PWH Awards will be held on Nov 27 at the Genting Highlands Arena of Stars.

《十二夜2:回到第零天》主題曲 〈大寶貝小寶貝〉由知名作詞人李焯雄填詞、黃建為作曲; 歌曲製作編排上特地安排與台灣原聲合唱團和聲,光良為了讓孩子們更有臨場感,特地陪合唱團一起錄製,還自嘲:「其實我們是『老寶貝小寶貝』!」 電影《十二夜2》的主題曲《大寶貝小寶貝》其實是毛小孩唱給人類聽的情歌,像電影一樣,這次我們換個角度看世界。 人類對動物的愛,往往是有條件的,我們挑,但狗狗不會。牠們「不在乎你美不美」, 也不會過問你的來歷,「不問過去/與你四目相對」「愛定你不後悔」。 事實上,你就是牠們的全部,「你是全世界,沒有例外」。 日常的我們會裝,心裏愛討拍,明明依賴對方,又裝作不是。動物真誠得多,「快樂就擺尾」。 《十二夜2》這次從關懷流浪狗被撲殺的議題,轉到關注如何讓浪浪們找到身與心的家。 如何為浪浪建設比較合理的收容所,這是第一重意義的家,而更重要的是為牠們找到最終的家, 有人類共居的家,因為「有你的所在/是家的所在」。 放生不等於自由,浪浪們其實無法獨立獵食,他們離不開人類,但我們卻有太多理由棄養牠們。 《十二夜2》很多篇幅在紀錄志工們一次又一次為浪浪們營造家的努力, 他們的苦心多次被質疑,得不到認同,我們很容易會想到自己:我們如何努力地安頓自己,我們不也是在找一個家嗎? 沒有局外人,我們和浪浪們並沒有不同:「你是全世界/沒有局外」。 希望能夠透過主題曲溫暖的聲線來感謝,讓更多人來關心議題外。 由衷地感謝支持《十二夜2》的所有朋友們。 因為你們才能讓這個世界更好。

继上一张专辑“是不是少了什么”后,法兰黛乐团的主唱法兰Fran在光良新专辑中再次献出自己的创作“失去了哭泣的能力”。法兰表示,这首歌是在深夜写出来的,觉得在工作或与人相处上,年纪渐长后会关心更多人事物、在意别人看法,常常不是那么忠于自己的内心,本着跟自己对话的概念完成了这首歌。而光良即使到了人生目前这个阶段,他坦承并未失去哭泣的能力,只是以前的眼泪常因为委屈而流,现在的哭泣通常因为感动而哭,心境是完全不同的。

新锐创作人黄则翔这次交出优质的创作“渐好”而“渐好”同样在讲社交的议题,有段时间则翔自己抗拒社交、不想出门,但后来过段时间他发现自己在改变,看见阳光折射在墙上的光影非常漂亮,想着:我们还没有好,但只要我想好起来也许我就会好起来,相信我们都可以在自己抗拒的事情中渐渐好转。

新锐创作人陈钰羲作品“1901的上一位房客”写的则是人离开家乡到异地居住偶有的愁绪。1901是一个房号,代表租屋处的房号,上一个房客是代表过去的自己,寻找自己初心的感觉, 1901是作者朋友住处的房号,有次跟朋友在聊天,身边有很多人离开自己家乡,在异地居住,当生活上不是很顺遂、很想回家的时候,只有自己一个人要面对这些事。 独处时会思考自己为何在此,是不是还走在初衷的道路上。生活上会面对到很多负面的东西,因为自己一个人住,所以要自己消化吞掉,也担心自己离家太久不知道家人好不好的感觉。 作者认为一个人居住的孤独感会累积的,累积到一个程度可能心中小宇宙会爆炸,但歌中的主角最后找到了希望,带有正面的意义:只要心不是孤独到处都是他的家。 而光良也回想自己当年首次家乡怡保到吉隆坡念大专的孤独心情。特别是光良念的又是电子工程系,加上自己不是特别会社交的人,和同学间没有太多互动与话题,还好当时可以跨系去参加别科系举办的音乐表演,让他最孤独乏味的大专二年生活,稍微有一点趣味和色彩。

「雨中的讚美詩」同樣是用天氣在形容一個人孤獨黑暗時刻的心情-在雨中的一絲絕望,我們習慣歌頌美好的東西,但當世界真相出現在我們面前時,我們該如何面對? 每個人在追尋人生的道路上,多少會遇到風浪跟困難,但這首歌想讓大家去感受到我們在面對不如意或面對黑暗跟風浪的時候,我們要用什麼心態去面對。希望能帶給聽眾溫暖跟慰藉,不管在風雨或黑暗中都可以不害怕的前行。每個人都有信仰,但你在遇到不如意的時刻,都會有一個傾訴、思考疑問的對象。覺得讚美詩就是在一片汪洋中,當你覺得潛入漫長怎樣都走不到終點的時候,讚美詩可以帶給你一些光明與力量。 而光良也分享自己在年輕時候,也有過見不得別人好,不希望和自己競爭的人成功的負面心態時候,但後來他漸漸明白,別人失敗,自己也不見得成功,就像感情裡,你希望那個前女友或前男友跟他的現任情人吵架分手,但即便他們分手了,你也不會再是他們選擇的對象,冷靜的想通,理性的分析就是給自己最好的讚美詩。

新锐创作人黄则翔这次交出优质的创作“蕨类”用轻快的旋律包装心里黑暗跟严肃的主题,灵感来自于当时一面养鹿角蕨、一边在看中岛哲也导演的〈渴望>这部电影,片头有一个故事带给他灵感:中学生被霸凌,压在水里打,但中学生从水里看这个世界,却觉得其实非常美好,他心想是不是我不太适合这当一个人类?而也把抗拒社交的心情摆在里面。 光良对这首歌也特别有感,因为自己从小就有社交恐惧症,尤其同时又害怕陌生环境的沉默尴尬,尤其后来进入需要大量接触陌生人的音乐圈,他经过岁月的磨练,在外显行为上已看似渐好,都试图快速融入陌生的场合,但最心里最深的那块,还是那颗待在自己安静世界的孤独蕨类。

HUSH当时打开编曲软体,尝试新节奏跟新和弦的练习,就完成了“烂天气”这首歌。这是一首非常黑特的歌,光良用了有别与原本创作者那种心里很负能量的诠释。 HUSH是一个非常喜欢下雨的人,创作时在想说为何大家讨厌下雨,如果有一天下雨,那些不爱自己的人跟他们的另外一半淋成落汤鸡,想到就觉得很爽,之所以为什么要感谢烂天气,就是有这种狭怨报复的心态,那种见不得别人好的心情。

韦礼安首次与光良合作,交出专辑中最写实标准式的动人情歌“是我不懂”。曲中“是我不懂你的幽默”这句歌词所提到的事情,很多时候在日常生活中大家很感同身受的事情,通常会觉得很日常的事情(平常不会觉得有什么特别),但在感情中是有点心酸的感觉,频率没办法对到的时候、一开始不了解对方想要的是什么…等等,这些日积月累就会让两人关系碰到一个断层。

* 曾经幸福的孤独<造天气的人> 曲:光良 词:杨杨 制作人:陈建骐 如果夏天下雪 你会不会再爱上我? 如果世界依旧寻常的走 如果两个人交会后 还有各自的梦 至少我陪你走过一段 也已足够 光良在新专辑中的另一首创作。首次合作的内地作词人杨杨用天气的变化来描述人的各种情绪变化状态,充满奇幻奇异感。 整首歌电影感十足,歌曲最后运用大量的弦乐,更是将情绪堆叠到最高潮的地步,在澎湃的听觉中刹然停止,让整张专辑听来意犹未尽。
