巧合

踏入春天,是香港流行性感冒的高峰期季節。公司全體同事從四面八方或不同途徑感染流感,連不一定在辦公室工作的我亦不例外,我愛看電影和天生敏感,在冷氣十足的戲院被傳染了。結果無一倖免!不幸中之大幸是沒有同事因病請假,仍然盡力緊守岡位,真正發揮團隊精神;作為製作總監,各同事能產生互動效果,提升工作效率,實感安慰。

很多朋友可能不知道我在求學時期曾經修讀醫學護理(Medical Nursing),機緣巧合輾轉涉足出版界、廣告界、唱片界、公關界,以致I.T.界,台前幕後,發展成今日的多媒體製作監製,很難想像與香港流行女歌手楊千嬅一起在醫院共事的日子,更難想像彼此從不同的途徑踏入娛樂圈,但又偶爾在相同所屬的唱片公司或錄音室重遇。

巧合的還有在醫護界任職期間認識的耳鼻喉專科醫生Victor Wong,我某年為香港十大傑出青年週年晚宴擔任表演嘉賓獻唱時我們在席間相遇,才知道他的太太是名人查小欣的胞妹。現在大約每年三月轉季,總會因鼻敏感或喉嚨痛藉以順道探訪已成為我和家人的家庭醫生這位老朋友。更巧合的是,他是本地很多有名的歌手的專用醫生呢!

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me

Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……

“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.

“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!

“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
