我哥之前因為陪朋友去考街頭藝人證照看到一些評審對街頭藝人的態度發聲 而上了新聞。我覺得他很勇敢的去做了一件對的事。
希望政府不會時間過了就不關心這些事情。希望我們都可以更客觀的去看藝術,尊重不一樣藝術和藝術家。我覺得以下我哥說的非常好,想跟大家分享。
想知道之前的事可看新聞連結:
http://www.storm.mg/article/270611
親愛的大家:
我想感謝所有支持我、以及給予我鼓勵意見的每個人;同時也要感謝熱情關注此事、協助揭露街頭表演者們應試處境問題的許多媒體與記者們。我很抱歉這些日子我保持著沉默—僅有一個原因:我並不希望這件事情,在台北市文化局正式給予溝通管道之前就發展到無法控制的程度;我很抱歉遲至今日我才發表這篇文章,但我確實需要一些時間來沉澱彙整我心中的感受和想法,而我也需要時間及一些協助使這篇文章能夠以中文來呈現。
在我採取更進一步的行動之前,我其實未曾預料到這件事情在媒體與社交媒體上的感染力如此龐大;我受寵若驚的感動能夠聽見發自你們每個人內心的聲音,而我也著實感到抱歉,面對著如潮水般湧來的各種訊息,似乎超過我所能負荷。請原諒我未能夠逐ㄧ去回應每個人的訊息,但我真的想讓你們知道,你們每ㄧ個人都讓我感到不可思議、帶給我深深的感動及感謝。
我不認為自己是一個勇敢的人,我也自知自己並非街頭藝人的代表或者發言人。但我是一個藝術創作者,一個表演藝術家,一個教育者,而最重要的,我身為一個 "人"。我的家人、朋友及師長們,總是教導我應該為正確的事情挺身而出。
我明白事情有時候總是不像我們所期待的永遠是非分明。但發生在5月21日星期天的街頭藝人評審事件,是對藝術群體的一種「極不尊重」。不論反面評論者所提出的藉口、理由或是文化差異等緣由,這些應試的表演者們,很顯然是被視為次等公民,或者(經驗與技能不夠成熟?)的學生等級。而與此同時,同樣非常清晰的是,街頭藝人評審制度或許是立意良善,但其審查過程的執行層面,卻是嚴重缺失連連。
藝術並非一種特權的這件事情如今已完全被遺忘。台北市文化局本應提倡所有具有文化及藝術可能性的事情,但它並未做到這ㄧ點。很顯然的,一個「對表演者的基本尊重」並不存在 — 許多表演者都如此感覺,有些人則深感受傷。
就算是得到全世界所有理應被如此對待的原因及理由,他們仍然感受到自己的不被尊重;因為這就是事實。
再一次的我想強調我並不是認定台北市文化局與該評審是一個「壞人」,我想強調的只是這個評審街頭藝人表演的執行環節,究竟有多麼的不妥當與糟糕。
我試著回應一個反面評論者所提到的觀點:若街頭藝人證照是ㄧ場「考試」、考試就會有考試的規則。評審無需與應試者惺惺相惜,掉頭就走是因為模擬街頭現場環境以及時間到了。再一次的,在我描述現場狀況的前ㄧ篇文章中,大家或許還記憶猶新:許多表演者根本沒有完整的短至一分半鐘的時間可以好好表演,遑論是超過2-5分鐘的時間限制了。
而這樣的回應是否也指出了另一個值得我們去思考的問題: 為什麼我們會將它視為一種「考試」,而不是ㄧ個表演者的「試鏡」呢?
首先,這些表演者們並不是學生。事實上,許多人更可能是一個專業的音樂家、舞者、或者正從事著表演藝術的人。當然,我不否認也可能會有些正在學習中的族群。但,最重要的是,當他們「在屬於他們應得的演出時間與機會裡 (而且還是付費才有的),他們就是ㄧ個真正的表演者。」
他們不應該被看待成一個不成熟的學生或者次等的公民。而就算一個人擁有著學生的身分,這個身分也不應該影響或侷限他或她,作為一個藝術創作者的身分及所有可能性。「藝術家」並非是透過一個人的職業身分或者社會地位來定義的。
所謂「考試」的這個字眼指涉著ㄧ個學術教育機構,而我們都知道台北市文化局所應該扮演的角色與作用,並非一個學術性的教育機構,也並非是用來教育藝術創作者們該知道些什麼?該怎麼表現?藝術教育及審美的養成也從來不是在追求填鴨式教育裡的ㄧ個標準答案。將街頭藝人的徵選視為「考試」的視角,或許本身就有待商榷。
評審的場所是在一個公共場合,許多居民與遊客都會圍觀欣賞著表演,其中有些人或許不了解藝術;因而這些人也許會將在場的評審們,視做為某種藝術的衡量標準;試問,當這些人看到評審對待表演藝術家的行為與態度,當他們看到評審總是任意打斷演出,並且掉頭就走不帶ㄧ句回應時,人們日後還能懂得尊重街頭表演藝術家嗎?
沒錯,我們都知道這是一場「考試」,我們也很清楚這些手上拿著計分表的人們就是評審;因此,事實上評審們根本無需「模擬」街頭現場那些會隨時走掉的陌生人們。
這些評審以及相關單位的人員,理應提倡藝術,並且作為ㄧ種示範與典範,讓普羅大眾都能夠看到該如何去欣賞ㄧ場演出。一個表演者並不會因為他選擇在街頭表演,就因此比不上一個在大舞台演出的藝術家。我自己就曾在世界各地超過百個不同的絢麗舞台演出過,但我仍然汗顏自己可能也不比這些街頭藝術家們來的優秀。
我曾擔任過ㄧ些國際比賽的評審,我也曾舉辦過專業的試鏡;我從來沒有聽過關於尊敬一個人的這件簡單事情,會需要在時間充裕的前提下才能夠發生。
如果一點表情會洩漏出評審成績的好惡,其實也真的可以不用笑或是無需在表演結束時說一聲謝謝。而評審也真的「不需要」與考證照的街頭藝人感覺惺惺相惜,因為這些都不是我想討論的重點。
我在意的是,表演者所需要的,只不過就是一個對人與對一個演出者的「基本尊重」而已。這樣的尊重存在與否,如人飲水冷暖自知,在人與人的接觸中就能直接感受的到,著實無需仰賴規則或語言的贅述。
我作為一個藝術創作者和教育者,穿梭各地工作超過15年的職業生涯經驗,或許會因此被視為一個外國人,但我的身分就是一個台灣公民。身為一個39歲的成年人,我可以分辨何謂尊重,而表達尊重甚至不需要浪費到任何一秒鐘。如果一個人會需要至少五分鐘以上的充足時間才有可能表達出對另外一個個體的尊重的話,那他可能需要重新再思考一下,尊重對他而言意謂著什麼?
再度回應一位也曾擔任過街頭藝人評審的老師所提出來「中途要求更換曲目或要求表演者改唱另ㄧ種語言的歌」的理由,是因為評審們不會希望一個街頭藝人一整年下來只會唱同一種語言、甚至是只唱同ㄧ首歌。
我所思考的是當一個街頭藝人遵守規定,付費且努力準備去應試時,他ㄧ定會準備了符合完整時間長度的、同時也是自己最擅長、最喜歡或者是最期待能被看見的那些內容;表演一首歌曲或者ㄧ種風格並不代表他就只會唱那ㄧ首歌;而且就算是當做他只會唱ㄧ種語言、ㄧ首歌,如果他能把這首歌反覆演繹的淋漓盡致時, 又有什麼不好呢?
難道我們不曾注意到百老匯的音樂劇就是同樣的那幾部,而獅子王也已經在舞台上展演了20年了嗎?許多同樣內容重複的音樂劇票房始終歷久不衰,持續帶給觀眾們心靈的滿足。而人氣歌手愛黛兒從頭到尾也只會用英文唱歌,而且幾乎都是類似的曲風,我們可曾在乎過她有沒有能力去唱中文歌呢?
ㄧ部舞蹈作品光在荷蘭本土就能有至少五十場大大小小的演出機會。但在台灣,ㄧ部作品如果能有五個場次的演出,可能已經算是很長壽了。這樣的環境迫使藝術創作者們必須不斷快速的「生產新作」,而將舊有積累的作品與經驗拋在腦後。就所有對於藝術的挹注與投資(不僅僅是金錢)來說,這樣的情況對藝術的生產是ㄧ種過度消耗與浪費,也並未真正教育到民眾如何去看待藝術的價值。
而最終,這樣的評審過程與態度並不僅僅是對街頭表演藝術者的不尊重,同時也是對於藝術的不尊重。
台北市文化局星期ㄧ曾經聯絡過我,親切向我表示將與我進一步聯絡並討論這件事情;他們要求我先將評審的照片拿掉—我答應取下照片,但前提是他們必須確實誠意的允諾一個面對面的溝通。這幾天我也暫時迴避了一些報導媒體的詢問(還請大家見諒)只因我衷心希望能先與台北市文化局及該評審當面談一談。我ㄧ直等待,但我也持續的看到了相關機構或人員回應給媒體的諸多理由與藉口; 自從將照片從網路上取下之後,直到今日都沒有人再跟我連繫過。慢慢的我突然明白星期一的那通電話,或許純粹只是ㄧ個希望我能將照片取下的操作手法,而並非真的試圖去了解整個經過以及解決問題。我對這個本應提倡藝術與文化的機構感到無比失望。
我知道我並非一個公眾人物,而我也不能代表所有想要考取街頭藝人執照的表演者們;自從我的臉書網頁訊息爆炸之後,我就不斷的在思考這件事情,我反覆思考自己是否該繼續爭執此事,這似乎並非與我切身相關的事情,然而,身為一個藝術教育者,我卻又感受到深切的責任。
經過反覆的思考以及與朋友們的討論,我意識到不論我們的展演形式如何不同,我們同樣都是表演藝術群體中的一分子。台北市文化局最後很可能將持續充耳不聞,而這位被我所抱怨的評審也可能繼續做他這些年來ㄧ直在做的事—用他ㄧ貫的態度。除非他們願意傾聽與改變,否則我無法改變任何人。
我真心相信有些事情值得改善,也可以改善。我必須強調我並不是想要攻擊或羞辱任何人。我只希望能有機會去討論如何讓審查的過程變的更適當。我看到台灣有許多優秀的藝術家,但環境對藝術和藝術家的不尊重不但打擊同時也限制了他們的發展;更遺憾的是,這一切可能是在許多疏忽之中造就出來的環境。
許多評審過程如果能夠在尊重藝術的前提之下思考和進行,事情或許會截然不同。
只要有一點點可能去拋開面子的問題,或許也就有機會明嘹我們所期待的結果其實是一樣的。
事實上我之所以說了這麼冗長的話語,並非是要不尊敬所謂的評審或師長,而正是因為我對藝術的尊敬,使我更深切的關注身為一個教育者所代表的意義。今天我看到了街頭表演藝術家是如何被不當的對待,而很顯然的我也不會是唯一的目擊者。某個程度上我的聲音似乎被放大了,但我也知道我的聲音並不是唯一的一個,我是許許多多的聲音中的ㄧ份子。

Dear All,
I would like to thank you for all the encouraging messages and supportive comments. I would also like to thank all the journalists and reporters who are passionate about this issue and are so willing to expose the problem that was faced by these street performers. I am sorry that I have been quiet but with a reason: I don’t want it to get much bigger than it already was until I talked to the Taipei Cultural Affair. I apologize that it took me a while, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts and help to translate my writing into Chinese.
Before I go on any further, I never expected my story would go viral on the media and the social media. I am humbled and touched to hear from many of you. All the messages I’ve received have been overwhelming. I am not able to reply to all of them, but I’d like you to know that I am honored, thankful, and touched by every single one of them.
I do not consider myself as a brave person, nor do I consider myself a representative for the street performers. BUT I am an artist, a performer, educator, and most of all I am a human being.I have always been taught to stand for what’s right by my family, friends and mentors.
I understand things are not as black and white as we all wish sometimes. However, what happened on Sunday 21st of May was a disgrace to the art community. Regardless of all the excuses that were given or cultural differences, it was very obvious these performers were treated like lower-class citizens; if not, students. It was also very clear that the intention might be well, but the execution of the busker’s exam was done horribly.
Somehow the idea that ART is NOT a privilege had been forgotten. Taipei Cultural Affair is supposed to be advocating for all things cultural and artistic but it was not conveyed that day. It was very clear the respect was not there. Many felt it and some got their feelings hurt. Even with all the excuses there are in the world, many experienced the disrespect. That was the truth. Again I have to emphasize that I believe Taipei Department of Cultural Affair and its adjudicators are good people, but the execution of the exam was poor.
It brings to the question…. why is it called an exam? Shouldn’t it be an audition?
These performers were not students when they took the exam. Some of them were actually professional musicians, dancers, or performers. Just because one is a student, it doesn’t make him or her less of an artist. Artists are not defined by their social status or occupation.
The term exam suggests an educational institution, but we know Taipei Department of Cultural Affair is not an educational institution. They do not decide what these artists need to know. These performers were not given any materials to study, thus the term exam is very misleading.
The exam took place in a public space. Many tourists and residents were there to enjoy the event. Many do not understand arts. So they may look up to these adjudicators as role models who are experienced in the arts. When they saw how this exam was being done, do you think they would have any respect for these performers afterwards? They saw these adjudicators interrupting the performers and left without saying a “thank you.” We all knew it was an exam, we all knew these people were adjudicators. They did not need to pretend to be street spectators who just walk away. They all carried their score boards in their hands.
Just because a performer performs on the street, it doesn’t make that performer any less of a performer than someone who is performing on big stages. I myself have performed over hundreds of stages around the world and I do not dare to think myself better than these performers.
I have judged a handful of international competitions. I have also held professional auditions. I have never heard an excuse that respect can’t be shown when time is limited. You do not need to smile to simply say “thank you.” Since when, a smile means “I favor you.” What a performer need is respect. Over the 15 year span of my professional career as an educator and artist, and 39 years of being a human being, I know what respect looks like. It doesn’t take more than a second to show it. If it takes longer than 5 minutes to show what respect is, I think you may need to rethink what respect means to you.
Another excuse that was presented was that they don’t want a street artist performs only one kind of songs or genre throughout the year. Don’t they know broadway musicals? Lion King has been performed over 20 years. They’ve been doing the same musical numbers for years to sold out audiences. Adele has been singing the same genre of music and always in English. Does it matter that she doesn’t sing in other genre or sing in Chinese?
One dance production in the Netherlands can be performed up to 50 performances within the Netherlands itself. In Taiwan, a dance work only performed 5 times the most. They are forced to constantly create new works and leave the old works behind. That is a waste of arts funding and it doesn’t educate the public on the value of the arts. These performers is old enough to decide what they want to show these judges with their limited time.
In the end it wasn’t just disrespectful to the performers, but also to the arts.
I was contacted by the Taipei Cultural Affair on Monday, the representative spoke nicely promising that they would discuss further with me. He asked me to take the adjudicator’s picture down, I agreed with the condition of meeting in person to further discuss what could be done better. I have refused to talk to reporters for the last few days. I have been waiting but I then heard the excuses given to the media. Since I’ve taken down the picture of the head adjudicator, they haven’t made any attempt to contact me. I came into a realization that when they made the call, it wasn’t to address the problem but simply to manipulate me to take down his picture. I’m disappointed at this institution that was supposed to promote the arts and culture.
I realized I am not a public figure, nor am I responsible for the well being of all artists who want to get a busker license. After my Facebook post went viral, I’ve been thinking so much about this issue. I kept going back and forth questioning whether I should keep fighting for this. It doesn’t feel like my fight, but at the same time I feel responsible as an art educator.
I truly believe this can be fixed. I need to emphasize, I am not attacking anyone. And I don’t want to shame anyone. I want to start a discussion how to make it better. Taipei has some of the best performers I’ve seen, yet the lack of respect for the arts and artists has suppressed their ability to excel. And ironically, it’s often done unintentionally.
If the exam is done based on respect for the arts itself, things might have come out differently. And just maybe if we all let go the “face” culture, we could possibly see further to realize that we are all wanting the same thing.
I saw mistreatments towards performers that day. It was very obvious I wasn’t the only one witnessing it. It was not that I don’t respect these adjudicators/teachers, but because I respect the arts and the meaning of a teacher that is why I had to speak up. Somehow my voice had been amplified this week. But my voice wasn’t and isn’t singular. I am simply a voice amongst many.
Sincerely,
William Lü

"流浪者日誌"
2017/11/11 土曜日 09:00
大城市的好處就是很容易找到warm shower 的朋友,昨天晚上我抵達名古屋住在一對加拿大夫妻的家中。他們來日本好多年了,但女生的日文沒有我好,她開玩笑的跟我說:how dare you speak Japanese better than me. 我只能說會中文的人學日文真的比洋人來的容易多了。而且他來到日本才兩年,我已經宅了10幾年了,怎麼能跟我比呢XD。
如果長途騎車旅行,很建議大家和我一樣帶一個地圖,把自己去過的地方騎過的路線記錄下來。warm shower 上的人大部分都有騎車旅行,你到他們家,他們一定會問你去過哪邊走什麼路線,這時候你拿出這個地圖他們決對會眼睛一亮,然後大家就圍繞著這個地圖談天說地,馬上打開話夾子,因為,大家都是旅人。
看著地圖,我和他們說我接下來想要走的路線,和他們詢問那邊車比較少比較好騎?他們給了我一些建議,但是車少的路大部分都是要花點力氣的山路,準備要去京都爽的我並不想要花這麼多的力量,因此我還是照著自己的直覺,選了條感覺還不錯的路騎,只能說我的直覺真的不錯,我騎的那條路又成為了另外一個故事。

(Update: 中文繹版連結:https://www.facebook.com/329728177143445/posts/1800273350088913/)
“An open letter to Eric Kwok, and for everyone re homophobia, discrimination and bullying”
Dear Eric,
Imagine this. You are one of the contestants on a TV talent show. You are sitting in a room with other hopefuls and one of the judges walks into the room and demanded this: “Raise your hand if you are not homophobic.”
I’m very sure you will raise your hand.
You don’t have to answer me whether or not you really are homophobic. But stay with the feeling inside your mind. How do you feel?
Your feelings are most likely the same as the feelings of your contestants when you walked into a room and asked them to raise their hands to declare their sexual orientation publicly. Because in this day and age, homophobia is just as “controversial” as homosexuality, if not more.
The reason why I’m writing this open letter to you is because after reading your apology, I want to take the opportunity to address to you, and everyone out there, the need for proper etiquette regarding LGBT issues, and to address the forms of micro-aggression, bullying and discrimination the LGBT community faces everyday especially in the workplace.
I’m taking this incident seriously because from my personal experience, this is not just a one-time slip-up for you.
I remember long time ago I was so looking forward to meeting and working with you because you are, after all, Eric Kwok the great songwriter.
You were very friendly when we talked privately. Then I started to notice how once there were audiences, media or other people around and when the cameras were turned on, you would start making insinuating and demeaning gay jokes about me and in front of me. Jokes and comments even my closest friends wouldn’t dare to make in public.
At first, I didn’t really pay too much attention. I just brushed it off as juvenile and trivial. In fact, I had been so used to these jokes since growing up that I learned not to react much.
However, as time progressed and we worked on more occasions, the same thing would happen repeatedly. The teasing and the stereotypical gay jokes continued and you would make sure that the spotlight would fall on me afterwards. The jokes no longer felt light. They felt hostile, even vindictive.
In fact, it felt like bullying.
One of these incidents was well documented in tabloids back then and you can still look it up yourself on the internet.
I came to the realization that it was not just a one-time thing. I don’t know if it’s intentional or unintentional but it’s definitely a habit and a pattern.
So many questions would be in my mind every time after working with you. Why does Eric do that every time? Is he picking on me? Does he hate me? Is he homophobic? Does he think homosexuality is something funny? Does he do this to other people too? Did I do something that pissed him off? I remember I was nothing but courteous. So why do I deserve this?
I had no answers for all of these questions. All I knew was I became fearful of working with you, dreading what words would fall out of your mouth to put me in an awkwardly embarassing position. But still I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. You’re from California you shouldn’t be homophobic. I even defended you in my head by telling myself to loosen up.
But it’s not just you. Throughout my years in the entertainment industry, I have encountered and endured so many chauvinistic “tough guys” who like to use homosexuality as a laughing stock or source of bad comedy which were all discriminating and demeaning, yet not funny.
It’s not only me. I’m sure many people of the LGBT community face this everyday in their workplace. People around them would claim their intentions were harmless but we all knew deep down that these “jokes” have the power to put people someone in an embarrassing, inferior and even threatening positions.
We kept quiet and tolerated. Sometimes we even felt obligated to laugh along just so we couldn’t afford to look “petty” or “stiff”, especially in front of people of higher authority and stature.
So Eric I want to ask you.
Why have you been so obsessed with my sexuality all these years?
Why are you so fascinated by other people’s sexuality?
Why is being gay such a huge issue to you even to this day that you had to make it the first thing you asked your contestants?
Why you also had to specifically make a post on social media about that fact you questioned people about their sexuality?
Why do you take so much pride publicly in your ability to guess who are the gay contestants even when they weren’t ready to share that information?
And most of all why do you find all this to be so funny?
To begin with one’s sexual orientation is a very personal thing which others have no right to intrude, even in the entertainment industry where you are supposed to be fine with “controversy”.
This is for you and everyone out there: using your power and authority to demand someone to declare his or her sexual orientation, especially in a work environment, is ancient, barbaric and unacceptable.
Kicking someone out of the closet is just pure evil.
The fact you did what you did, especially with your stature and on broadcast TV, is not only wrong, but also you are telling the Hong Kong audience that it’s alright to continue this form of intrusion and micro aggression that the LGBT community wants to see gone.
You’re leading a very poor example by giving Hong Kong audience the impression that being gay is still a taboo.
How are your contestants, who are boys of young age, going to offer new perspectives to the Hong Kong audience under your guidance if you perpetuate stereotyping and demonstrate to them that being gay is still an issue?
I feel sorry for any contestants who are in fact gay sitting in that room that day too. They must have been traumatized seeing the way you forced your inquisition. The impression you left them with is that the entertainment industry is still a very unfriendly place for gays. Is that what you want them to think?
But most of all, it’s the attitude, tone and manner with which you shared about this incident on social media, giving people the impression that any matter regarding sexual orientation is still something shameful and laughable, which is on top of list the thing that the LGBT community fights hard everyday to change.
When you said in your apology you “have great respect for gay people, especially their hard fight for equality” I became baffled as what you did, in the past to me or in that room to the boys, is the exact thing that makes the LGBT community’s ongoing fight for equality so difficult.
Putting people down, perpetuate stereotypes, heckling and ridiculing yet making it look OK is anything but liberal and respectful, or Californian. I don’t see any “entertainment values” that are of good taste if they are made up at the expense of other people’s struggle.
If this incident happened in America, where you grew up, you would’ve gotten yourself in such hot waters that you probably can’t get out of.
I just want you and everyone out there to know that it’s not okay. And it never was. Never will be.
Being “as liberal as it gets” is great. Having gay friends is great too. Having dinner with your gay friends is absolutely fabulous! Playing all these cards to avoid being labelled as “homophobic” is very convenient. But having class, empathy, kindness and authentic respect is a completely different territory. These don’t come automatically with backgrounds.
At this point you don’t owe me an apology. I just hope that after this incident you can really start working and living with the essences of a truly liberal and creative individual. Inspire changes and end stereotypes. Start new trends and break old patterns. Embrace and not segregate. Do the work.
I had been away from Hong Kong and the industry for a few years now. It breaks me heart that I have to write this sort of open letter when it’s already 2018. I want to make this industry a safer, nicer and more accepting place to work in when I return. I want members of the LGBT community in Hong Kong, who have been so supportive of me and my music, to also have safer and nicer working environment in their respective lives.
I don’t mind coming off as an over-reacting petty bitch with no sense of humour if my message finally comes through and everyone, including you, “gets it”. I rather have no sense of humour than a bad one.
To all the contestants of the show. If anyone ever asks you if you are gay and you are not ready to discuss, it’s OK to stand up for yourself and say this: “It’s a rude question to begin with. You have no right to get an answer from me to begin with. And it doesn’t matter. It SHOULDN’T matter. It’s 2018. I hope one day I can use my craft to inspire the world and to make this become a non-issue.”
But if you are ready to be open, you have my complete support and love.
Let’s hope that through acceptance, learning and effort, one day there will no longer be any “controversial questions”. Wouldn’t we like that Eric?
Yours truly,
Pong

第五波強力主打〈全面淪陷〉
「心跳得好強烈 這是愛的感覺」正能量女神張韶涵 要你全面淪陷
MV拍攝困難重重 Angela:出道以來最害怕的一次!
華語天后張韶涵最新專輯《全面淪陷》同名主打〈全面淪陷〉MV正式推出,輕快的戀夏歌曲,要你甜蜜淪陷Angela的歌聲裡。為了給歌迷最好的音樂作品,張韶涵「全面淪陷」在自己的音樂世界裡,想盡力做好每件事情的Angela,在最新一波主打〈全面淪陷〉的MV中,一樣不馬虎,誠意十足地投入拍攝,艱辛的拍攝過程,更讓Angela大喊:「出道以來最害怕的一次!」
成功挑戰在兩萬五千多英呎高空中一躍而下跳傘的Angela,看似甚麼都不怕,但在這次〈全面淪陷〉的MV拍攝中遇到最大恐懼,導演黃中平在一層樓高的高台上設置了一大片透明玻璃,要Angela整個人趴在玻璃上,模擬被影印機光束掃過的場景。
當Angela爬上一層樓高的高台時,她說高度不高,但高台只要有人走動,就會劇烈晃動,就像地震,讓她相當緊張,加上要趴在玻璃上向下俯瞰,她覺得壓迫感非常重,雖然很安全,她還是覺得害怕,她的臉不能貼近玻璃,整個人必須用手臂去撐住全身,所以只要高台一晃動,Angela就會大喊「好可怕!」
不過一開拍,Angela馬上敬業拍攝,跟剛才害怕的感覺截然不同,拍完玻璃場景,她渾身發抖地說:「這是我出道以來最害怕的一次,永遠不會忘記這一刻!」但驚魂未定的她仍不忘問導演,畫面OK不OK?導演表示,當然OK!也稱讚她,不管給Angela多難的任務,Angela總是會拚了命去完成!

我忘記了時間 你忘記了語言
氣氛比糖果還要甜~
Hey 你可以靠近我一點
你可以捨不得眨眼
當我望著你幸福降臨快得像閃電
心跳得好強烈 這是愛的感覺~ 全面淪陷~
你伸出手 我沒有拒絕
你敢開口 我就敢跟你去永遠
每一分每一秒 都因為你而特別
浪漫也可以 只是分享一杯水
分享每個白天 分享每個黑夜
有了愛做什麼都對~
再好的人 若沒有感覺
我寧願說再見 寧願日子寂寞一點
直到你來 讓我的胸口左邊
有心動的感覺 oh~
Hey 為一個擁抱而冒險
為一個微笑而失眠
為你簡單的一句誓言快樂得流淚
決定性的一切 就是愛的感覺~ 全面淪陷~

【 全面淪陷 Head over heels】
OC/OA [原詞曲]:Braddon Williams /Cousin Fung /徐世珍 Xu Shi-Zhen
中文詞:徐世珍 Xu Shi-Zhen
The world tumbles the moment love appears
My eyes see no one else but you
Oh, you’re the one I’m waiting for
Finally, you’re here with your love in hand
I’ve lost track of time and you’ve lost your words
The air is sweeter than candies
Hey, you can come a bit closer
It’s ok if you don’t want to blink
When I look at you, pleasure strikes like lightening
Heart beats so heavily. This feeling of love. Head over heels
You reach out, I didn’t refuse
If you dare ask, then I’m not afraid to go on this lifelong journey
Every moment is special because of you
Sharing the same cup of water can also be romantic
Share every daylight, share every night fall
Everything is in place when there’s love
If there is no feeling, no matter how great the person is
I’d rather say goodbye and let my days be a little lonely
When you come close,
My heart quickens
I’d go on an adventure just for a hug
Sleepless just for a smile
Tears of joys fall just for your simple promise
Love is the only deciding factor
Head over heels

how dare中文 在 Natalia Ng 黄彩菱 Official Youtube 的評價
【I Dare U To】the leading song for this album, is also the commercial theme song for the latest range of products, Töush, inspired by the well-established electrical brand, Pensonic. The song was written especially for Natalia by renowned music producer Percy Phang inspired by the Western Pop genre that was made to suit her style and personality.
The MV is lively, visually rich and fashion forward with hints of futurism, which set designs and themes were largely inspired by the epic science fiction film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Directed by Stanley Kubrick. This MV’s aim was to take a playful twist on how the advance Töush technology is as good as 5 strong men completing household chores, every housewife’s dream. The cast that boasts international allurement introduces five talented and stunningly good looking models including Andy Oshima (ex-national volleyball player turned model of Belgian and Japanese descent), Henrique Fukuoka (supermodel of Japanese and Brazilian descent), Mason Roberts (Australian model turned artistic painter), Benjamin Hori (supermodel of Japanese and Canadian descent), and Sampei Okuno (Japanese model and musician). The cast flew in from cities across the globe; Shanghai, Australia, Taiwan, Canada, and Japan, for the filming of this music video.
On a deeper lyrical note, Percy and Natalia wrote this song with the idea that due to Natalia’s ambitious and confident demeanor, she tends to appear intimidating. The song was to encourage future prospects to dare to step up to the plate, break down her walls and fight for her, because behind all that strong exterior, she’s really just an easy-going goofball.
【I Dare U To】 是一首由知名音乐人彭学斌根据Natalia的风格量身打造的Western Pop 风格歌曲,是本次专辑的主打歌,也是Pensonic主推的新系列产品Töush的代言歌曲。
【I Dare U To】 MV可说是充满着满满的视觉享受,时尚感及未来感,因为场景及服装设计的主要灵感就是来自电影大师Stanley Cubrick的作品《太空漫游》。MV中一共五名壮男,以展示在Töush科技下的家电就如壮男般帅气且智能地完成家务,实现每一位家庭主妇的梦想。这无名壮男分别由五名名模所扮演,其中包括Andy Oshima(前排球选手,现为模特,日本比利时混血);Henrique Fukuoka (名模,日本巴西混血);Mason Roberts (澳洲名模,现为艺术画家);Benjamin Hori(日本加拿大混血名模);Sampei Okuno(日本模特,音乐家)。他们分别从上海、澳洲、台湾、加拿大及日本到来进行本次拍摄。在这强大的演员卡司下,可是大大提升了本MV的视觉享受。
在歌词方面,可看到Natalia希望未来的对方可勇敢地踏出那一步,打动她的心房并且为她战斗,因为在一切坚强的外表下,她也拥有一颗少女心。

I Dare U To
词 : (中文词)彭学斌 / (英文词)Natalia
曲 / 制作:彭学斌 @ 口袋音乐 Percy Phang
编曲:帼航 Hanzz / 陈韦汐@口袋音乐
我不知道你的过去 是如何伤害你
我只知道你的现在 有我在陪伴你
想得太多 会变得 容易怀疑
难道你看不出 我眼神中的确定?
你不相信永远这事 到底有多可信
你不相信因为那些 不完美的结局
时间飞快 难道我那么用力
还无法动摇你
( I Dare U To ) Open Up Your Heart, Open Wide
( I Dare U To ) Say You’ll Fight For Me, Say You’ll Try
( I Dare U To ) Don’t Let Go, Don’t Let This Slip By
Break Down My Walls And Tell Me That You’ll Stay Through The Night
( I Dare U To ) 让爱再次为我澎湃
( I Dare U To ) 把你的真心掏出来
( I Dare U To ) 紧握了手就不放开
让我的等待一直在 幸福的路口徘徊
