《脫稿玩家》(Free Guy, 2021)與《一級玩家》(Ready Player One, 2018)一樣,都是人類進入遊戲的故事。不過,兩部電影還是有個不同的基本設定。在《一級玩家》,所有電影中的角色,都是人類進入遊戲中,彼此互動的故事。換句話說,就算是在遊戲中,每個角色都還是真正的人類,只是因為穿著「遊戲角色」(skin),才會出現在遊戲當中。
下面放的這張照片,就是所有電影與動畫中的角色,全部脫掉skins之後的本尊。XD
.
#AI_vs_NPC
但是,在《脫稿玩家》中,並非所有角色都是穿著遊戲角色的人類,主角蓋伊(Guy,萊恩雷諾斯 飾演)並非進入遊戲的人類玩家,而是遊戲中早已設定好的背景人物 (Non Player Character, NPC),在現實世界中,沒有對應的實體人類,而是由遊戲中的程式語言所塑造的虛擬人物。換句話說,蓋伊與他的好友,銀行守衛巴迪(Buddy,李利萊爾豪艾里 飾演),都只是數位虛擬程式,也可稱為 AI (Artificial Intelligence)。
.
#脫稿玩家與經典電影
電影會命名為「脫稿」玩家,就是因為蓋伊這名 AI,脫離他原本的背景角色 (NPC),因為意外戴上墨鏡,擴大視野,而莫名其妙地開始參與所有人類化身的遊戲時空,遊走在遊戲世界,透過打怪、集點、與晉級,不知不覺地,從一名平凡的「某人 (guy) 」,脫稿玩成《自由城市》(Free City) 的頭號「英雄人物」。
蓋伊因為愛的觸發,而脫稿玩成英雄,這樣的故事主線,確實有趣。不過,與《一級玩家》一樣,觀看《脫稿玩家》的樂趣不只存在故事本身,還有搜索畫面細節中的彩蛋時,所引發的樂趣與會心一笑。只是,不同於《一級玩家》的彩蛋,多半是具體的物件與人物,《脫稿玩家》的彩蛋,多半是經典電影的經典片段。
.
#樂高玩電影
《脫稿玩家》一開始,就描述著蓋伊既滿足又歡樂的人生,有著平凡規律卻又自給自足的人生。他滿意每天鬧鐘一響,就與唯一同居者小金魚道早安、每天穿著一樣的制服、喝同一款咖啡、與相同的朋友互動,即使連銀行被搶,也都熟悉到沒有恐懼。對於蓋伊來說,自由城市是個幸福的天堂,雖然他賺的薪水,始終無法讓他累積到足以購買一雙夢寐已久的球鞋,他仍是甘之如飴。
蓋伊對於自己人生的滿意與欣喜,就如同《樂高玩電影》的建築工人艾密特 (Emmet Brickwosky),熱愛自己的工作,對於身為城市的小螺絲感到非常自豪,也熱衷融入平凡的人群。
不過,艾密特的人生忽然改變,因為一位神秘的黑衣女性的出現,莫名引發他的好奇,牽動他平靜的心,勾引他走進一條從未想像的道路,進入新的世界,也開創新的思維。自此,艾密特在一連串半推半就的巧遇與巧合,意外由平凡的普通人,變成一位成就新世界的大英雄。
《脫稿玩家》亦然,導演與編劇打造出一個雷同於艾密特的蓋伊,讓他的講話神情、單人早餐、熱愛工作、喜愛咖啡、與他人互動等等,都雷同於《樂高玩電影》的艾密特,暗示這是個關於,1) 個人意識覺醒的故事;2)只要願意改變,就能夠創造屬於自己的新世界;3) 這個世界之外,還有另一個世界/神界;4) 存在的意義,需要自己有意識地去創造。
除了個人的意識覺醒,《脫稿玩家》的蓋伊與《樂高玩電影》的艾密特一樣,都是因為一位穿著黑衣的女性,翩然走入他的視野,而改變他的人生。不過,因為一位黑衣女性意外邁入主角視野,而改變原本的人生目標,《脫稿玩家》除了參考艾密特的故事之外,更為直接的影射,應該是《玩命再劫》(Baby Driver, 2017) 的紫色耳機女孩。
.
#玩命再劫
寶貝(安索艾格特 飾演)是《玩命再劫》的男主角,電影一開始,當他完成第一檔搶案的逃案駕駛之後,被安排去買四杯咖啡。從大樓出來,背景音樂是 Bob & Earl 的〈Harlem Shuffle〉,他先是經過鞋店,櫥窗陳列著許多皮鞋(讓人不禁想到蓋伊也在球鞋櫥窗逗留),然後進入咖啡店,店員問他的需求,也問名字,他回答「寶貝 (Baby)」,與此同時,他看見人行道上一位戴著紫色耳機聽著音樂的女孩走過,心神出竅,已經愛上這位夢想中的女孩了。
在《脫稿玩家》,蓋伊買好咖啡, 與好友巴迪並肩走在人行道,眼前走來一位戴著太陽眼鏡的短髮女孩,一邊哼著瑪利亞凱莉〈Fantasy〉,歌詞剛好來到
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy, #baby / When I close my eyes, you come and take me / On and on and on, it’s so deep in my daydreams
頓時,蓋伊失神,馬上說「這就是我的夢中女孩」,此言恰巧符合〈Fantasy〉歌詞中的:As you’re going to my head / And my heart beats faster / When you take me over。
《脫稿玩家》與《玩命再劫》的男主角,都是在街頭被哼歌的女孩吸引,愛上在人行道上自我投入的女孩,相當符合傳說中的「認真的女人最美麗」。因為被女孩激起的愛,成為改變他們人生的動力,自此,寶貝不想再為老闆開車,蓋伊也不想按照原本的角色規劃,而逐漸脫軌演出另一場人生劇碼。
.
#黑暗騎士
在蓋伊工作的銀行,時時都會有蒙面怪客進入搶劫,這場搶劫遊戲,完完全全是《黑暗騎士》的戲碼,複製「蝙蝠俠」開場的小丑搶案。只是,《脫稿玩家》的搶銀行,每次都是不同玩家當搶匪,當他們進入銀行叫囂,每每都會戴太陽眼鏡,偶而也會有玩家,懷抱他人老婆的美女同行。
.
#怵目驚魂28天
基斯與毛瑟在《自由城市》,原本應該是打算以恐怖兇狠的扮相,恐嚇玩家。但是,毛瑟穿著宛若在《怵目驚魂》的死神裝扮,卻改換成粉紅色兔裝,結果一點也無法傳達威脅的恐懼感,只剩下詼諧的模仿與歡樂的扮裝。當然,幽默搞笑就是《脫稿玩家》的基調,六塊肌的粉紅兔警察肯定不是帶來死訊,而是樂趣。
.
#明日邊界
在《明日邊界》,當凱吉上校(湯姆克魯斯 飾演)還是個菜鳥,打擊力還是零的時候,意外在戰場上,遇到人稱「凡爾登天使」或「金甲悍妞」的女戰將麗塔(艾蜜莉布朗 飾演)。此時的兩人戰績差距懸殊,麗塔遠遠超越凱吉,但是,她發現凱吉也有不斷死後重生的能力,於是跟凱吉說「當你再次登入之後,記得來找我」。
.
#一級玩家
《脫稿玩家》與《一級玩家》一樣,都是關於遊戲的電影。不過,兩者之間的連結,在故事畫面中,也有一場直接的模仿與致敬。
.
#楚門的世界
《楚門的世界》與《脫稿玩家》都將生命的存在,視為劇本操作,主角若想要逃脫自己被既定的生命劇本,必須倚賴極強的脫困意志,衝破眼前無數的困境為難,才有可能找到劇本之外的其他答案。

Shape of you 歌詞:
The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
And you come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance
And now I'm singing like
# Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Oh I oh I oh I oh I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
We leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
And I'm singing like
#Shapeofyou

over driver 歌詞 在 Gregory 河國榮 Facebook 的最佳解答
我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省,讀中學時成績非常好,分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生,因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科,第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中,第二年入住大學國際宿舍,宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生,不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友,與他們很合得來,不過最重要是入住宿舍後,便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時,聽到一些很悅耳的音樂,我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞,他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌,但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲,便到唐人街購買,後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞,因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌,所以在大學的同學活動,開始演唱中文歌,也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽,參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」,結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得,國際宿舍為了文化交流,每年舉辦一次國際晚宴,希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項,那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲,所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇,我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶,學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習,其他同學看到我很用心練習,也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞,當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星,來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司,需要義務司機,朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了,後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練,我們便駕車往坎培拉,當日天氣多雲有微雨,甚麽也看不清楚,喝過咖啡後便離開,回程是Leslie駕駛,他的英語非常好,途中我們愉快地暢談,這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲,我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店,介紹人在偶像面前,誤把我的名字說成河詠麟,當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音,知道我懂得唱他的歌,所以告訴了他,在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星,對我的影響很大,聽到他們的歌,和看到觀眾的反應,我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌,沒有用功讀書,因此醫科的第三年考試不合格,需要重讀,在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作,還做了個多月砌磚的工作,我把工作一年多,所得工資儲起來,買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元,便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應,但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有,只是刻意買了一張單程機票,是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄,返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識,沒有計劃,也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道,但我的朋友不是在那裡居住,因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做,所以在外面逛了幾天,有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館,中門外有四名男士在吸煙,他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員,在一九八六年見過面,但相隔一年,竟然還可以記起我,這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練,他們帶我進去體育館,這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場,我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場,但是有少許問題出現,因為我住的地方有規定,晚上十時半後便會關門,不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場,每晚看完演唱會,我會行去尖沙嘴,然後再步行回廣播道,然後在公園外的石椅小睡,到五時公園開門便進去睡覺,但最終因捱不住,有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我,今晚可否上台唱歌,我說當然可以,便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心,但第二次他在台上介紹,有一個外國人,唱他的歌十分出色,當他呼喚河詠麟出場,因為我不在場,所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現,我便向他解釋原因,他便安排我入住酒店,直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台,這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」,真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓,其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住,有一次從北角行到中環,看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示,我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文,但我不是教師,他認為沒有問題,便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月,有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報,需要招聘 一個西方人,但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵,他是一位獨立經紀,我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好,他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製,她給我一段英文劇本,要我讀出來。因為很緊張,五分鐘都不能出聲,我跟自己說,不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級,責備人一定是很大聲的,所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事,沒有再理會我,但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇,她無奈地聘請了我,這套劇集需要兩個西方人,另外一位是當主角,從那時開始,便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓,在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人,唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道,他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面,我不知為何找我拍攝封面,原來三位老闆是認識我的,只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我,他們有一首歌,問我會否願意演唱,那首歌曲我很熟悉,歌詞十分口語化,應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五,表演是在星期日,只得兩天時間作準備,所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞,但我盡量避免看電視屏幕,只是有需要時才看一看,便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心,我可以扮了演一個角色,唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌,觀眾很熱鬧和興奮,真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次,這不是自己可以做到,是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎,而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我,表示將會舉辦總選,問我會否參加,我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者,會有兩首歌曲,在十二月廿六日接到新歌,我從沒有聽過那首歌,是一首說唱歌曲,而且歌詞很陌生,對我來說十分困難,所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播,有七十萬人觀看,想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎,當宣佈我的名字時,極度開心,無人能想到,唱出真香港的歌曲,是由一個西方人唱出,可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和,超乎現實,簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選,是別人給我的,練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的,機會不多,只能扮演一些無關重要的角色,但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片,因為胃酸倒流,把聲帶灼傷,使我聲音變得沙啞,這件事使我非常懊惱,因為辛苦練習多年,卻發生了這個問題,後來我矯正了唱歌方法,問題得以改善,可以繼續唱歌,現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ,現在我為一個港台節目做旁白,是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難,因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方,看電視或電影,也是會看自己的種族,未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作,做一個節目,然後在網上發放,是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住,有些人的中文比我好,他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人,是要做香港人做的事,吃香港人吃的食物,關心香港,不看膚色,希望他們也能說廣東話,最重要是覺得香港是自己的家,這便是真正的香港人。
I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
俱樂部不是一個找到情人的好地方
So the bar is where I go
所以我常去酒吧
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
我和我的朋友在桌前喝著一杯一杯的酒
Drinking faster and then we talk slow

Come over and start up a conversation with just me
隨便的聊著,開啟一個關於我的話題
