H:Welcome to the interview. Today Winnie Hsin is our guest.
W
:Hello, I’m Winnie Hsin.
H
:Lunar New Year is coming. Would you like to say something to our listeners?
W
:I wish everybody good health and dreams come true in the coming year.
H
:Which songs would you sing in the show in Beijing?
W
:I think everybody wants me to sing ‘Scent’, and songs of Teresa Tang.
H
:’Scent’ is very touching. Do you have any new songs recently?
W
:I’m doing my new album and hopefully would be released by the end of June. I also hope I can perform ‘Butterfly Lovers’ in China.
H
:What’s the style for the new album? Is there any difference with the past?

W:I put something that I want to do but didn’t appear in my old albums. I mean on the style of music, say, something universal, ethic… or something like folk.
H
:We all know the voice of Winnie. After performing in ‘Butterfly Lovers’, do you want to try something different?
W
:That’s different. I mean the way of performance is different from the pop music’s. I took the way of vocal music to sing. The coming album is great and in terms of way of singing, it’s not similar to the past.

H:Who would you work with?
W
:There are still something that haven’t decided, so I can’t tell you at this moment. However, you would sure find new thing in it.
H
:Apart from the album, what would you plan to do?
W
:As I mentioned before, I really hope to perform ‘Butterfly Lovers’ in China. It will be a very good memory for me. I would like to join any activities if there are opportunities.
H
:Musical is different from singing or filming.
W
:The difference is big and the pressure is large too. The parts of singing is many, so I have to memorize many lyrics and I should memorize them all and clearly. If you forgot lyrics in concert, you can pass the microphone to the audience and let them sing for you, but musical doesn’t let you do this. And other than singing, you have to act.
H
:Would you write songs or lyrics? Would you plan to be a sing-and-song writer?
W
:At least one song. Frankly speaking, I don’t have much interest in composition. This time I’m the producer, so if I got a very good piece from somebody, maybe I would drop my own piece.
H
:Why?
W
:I don’t put much effort on composition. Besides, I would be affected by good pieces written from others.
H
:Many artists know their feeling well so they produce their own pieces. How can you understand others’ pieces?
W
:I ask friends to write songs. Before that, I communicate with them. So, the outcome and I have certain extent of similarity. I believe a good piece has common characteristics.
H
:A soul.
W
:I mean there is something in common between people. I just use my voice and my feeling to present. If you have some life experience, or I should say, if you live seriously, it’s not difficult to present.
H
:Internet friends asked you when would your live concert be held in Shanghai or Beijing.
W
:I hope it would be in the near future. Many friends asked me such questions before. It’s just a matter of timing. I hope eventually.
H
:When does ‘Butterfly Lovers’ be launched in China? Many friends are interested in it.
W
:Now it’s in the stage of discussing. It’s first on show in Taiwan before and there are CD and VCD now. I don’t know when can it be launched in China, but if you don’t mind, you can listen to the CD first.

The songs are great and done by a Hong Kong writer Yiu Kwong Chu. His major is classical, and later learnt percussion and composition. He’s a great young artist.
H
:Internet friends asked you is there any classic songs recorded in the coming album.
W
:Maybe a compilation album would be released. After that, a new original album. I think my company will have such arrangement. In fact, there’s a gap between business and idealistic. If there are songs that I don’t want to put in the album, maybe I would have a bit difficulty to sing.
H
:We want to know your opinion.
W
:In fact my old songs are almost the same in style.
H
:Were there any differences from stage to stage?
W
:I love the pieces during Fu-Mou, the songs were very music. ‘Flower Time’ was the third in Fu-Mou and I like it very much. There are many favourite songs but they are not the hit ones.
H
:Internet friends wanted to ask how do you protect your voice.
W
:Enough sleep is very important. Then, avoid eating spicy food. Keep warm. Beijing has strong wind. So you have to take good care of yourself when you go outside.
H
:It’s healthy living style. Internet friends asked is there any website of you?
W
:My fans establish some very good websites. I introduce one of them first here. It’s

www.winniehsin.net. It’s done by one of my Singaporean fans and it’s rich in content. You can link into Beijing’s, Shanghai’s and other websites from there.
H
:Do your fans know your schedule?
W
:The information there is very up-to-date. There are even concert clips, album introduction, album review and some discussion. You can go there have a look.
H
:Do you go there?
W
:Almost everyday. I can’t leave message if I’m not in Taiwan or too busy. However, wherever I am, I go have a look almost everyday.
H
:You can read fan’s message everyday.
W
:They’re important for me, it’s true. As I always online, I used to click to read their message. It’s my routine. So, I know them quite well.
H
:Your fans have been supported you for a long time and they did many things for you. Do you have anything to say to them?
W
:I will work harder and won’t let them disappointed. As they said, I will take care of myself. I hope they’re happy in the coming year. All the best.
H
:Winnie’s optimistic. Rather than singing, what do you do?
W
:I love watching movies and reading.
H
:Have you thought of anything about music?
W
:I want to act in drama, if there is a good script and timing. Perhaps you don’t know, I love listening to soundtracks. It lets me imagine and gives me inspiration. I can do many things upon that.
H
:Like ‘Butterfly Lovers’.
W
:The music in it is very spectacular.
H
:Let’s wait watch such musical. Thank you Winnie for chatting with us today. Thank you.

主持人:歡迎大家繼續關注網易名人訪談,下面這位嘉賓是辛曉琪,先給大家打個招呼。

  辛曉琪:大家好,我是辛曉琪。

  主持人:馬上過年了,給大家說幾句問候的話。

  辛曉琪:新的一年祝大家身體健康,心想事成。

  主持人:這次到北京來參加中華情晚會,你將會唱哪首歌呢?

  辛曉琪:我會想唱大家想讓我唱的味道,還有鄧麗君的歌。

  主持人:說起味道,應該說很多人都很有感觸的一首歌,最近你有什麼新的歌曲?
 
  辛曉琪:最近在做新的唱片,希望在上半年會出現。希望《梁祝》在那個地方跟大家見面。

  主持人:這張專輯將會做成什麼風格的?和以前的味道有什麼不一樣?

  辛曉琪:在音樂的風格上,我會做一些自己想要做的一些東西,在原本的唱片�堶惆S有放,

                例如說世界音樂的,或者是比較加入一些民族的東西。或者說一些比較民謠的東

                西。

  主持人:我們都知道曉琪的嗓音,演過梁祝過後,自己感覺會更想嘗試一些其他的?

  辛曉琪:那個是不太一樣,那個整個的表演方式,跟流行音樂的確是不太同的領域,而且也

                是自己用到一些比較聲樂的方法去唱,新專輯很精采的,大家等著聽,在唱腔方面

                也會有一些不同於以往的聲音。

 

主持人:會不會有跟別人合作的歌曲?

  辛曉琪:現在我們還有一些東西沒有確定,我還不敢講,到時候大家聽,肯定會讓你有一個

                 新的感覺。

  主持人:除了發下一張新專輯之外,你還有什麼新的打算呢?比如還有其他的東西?

  辛曉琪:我剛才提到,《梁祝》那個劇,我很希望它能夠在內地演出,這個會是一個很棒的

                一個紀念。除此之外,如果說在其他方面,我有很好的機會。我也會希望能夠參

                與。

  主持人:演舞臺劇、唱歌,跟拍電影應該是不太一樣的。

  辛曉琪:完全不一樣,那個壓力應該是挺大的。整場是這個戲的一個主軸,唱的部分很多,

                然後臺詞部分,我覺得,那個壓力就在於你不可以忘詞,你要把每個詞都記得非常

                清楚,演唱會如果忘詞,你遞給觀眾朋友,他會跟著你唱,《梁祝》就不一樣了,

                一定要自己保持這個部分。當然要滾瓜爛熟,然後不光是唱,還要表演。

  主持人:在你的新專輯�堶情A會有多少首歌是自己填詞作曲的,以後有沒有想往創作型的歌

                 曲發展?

  辛曉琪:最少可能會有一首。因為說實在的,我對創作不是興趣那麼大。這次是我自己製作

                 唱片,所以如果說我拿到其他人非常好的作品,我說不定會把我自己的東西會刪

                 掉。

  主持人:為什麼呢?

  辛曉琪:因為我總覺得,自己在創作方面並不是那麼的努力。如果說別人的東西是非常好的

                 作品,我一定會受影響。

  主持人:很多藝人我覺得我自己創作的東西,我有感覺。以前我聽到這個歌真的很有感情,

                 讓別人聽到覺得很感動,你自己是怎麼會融入到別人的圈子�堙H

  辛曉琪:我會找自己的圈內的朋友寫歌,然後自然而然可以把自己的感覺跟他們溝通,我覺

                得他們寫出來的東西會跟我自己的有相通的地方。其實我相信一個好的作品,是有

                共同性的。

  主持人:本身就有靈魂在。

  辛曉琪:就是說,可能大家比較多的人會有感覺。對這個東西。所以我只是用我自己的一種

                 方式,用我的聲音,用我自己的一個感情,我把它表達出來而已。所以其實,我覺

                得並不是那麼困難,因為只要你在生活上有一些體會,或者是說,你很認真地生活

                的話。

  主持人:有網友想知道,什麼時候會來到北京或者上海去開自己的演唱會?

  辛曉琪:我也希望在不久的將來可以實現。因為,蠻多朋友這樣問。看時機了。因為這個東

                 西應該是水到渠成,天時地利人和,然後希望可以達到。

  主持人:我們的網友都很期待,剛才說到《梁祝》那個歌劇,很多網友很感興趣,也很想看

                 到,大概那個劇大概會什麼時候在內地演出?

  辛曉琪:我想現在還在談論階段,這個劇是原先在臺灣的劇院已經演出過,現在也發行了CD

                 跟VCD,因為我不曉得在內地演出多久的時間才可以實現,如果你們不介意的話,

                 可以先去聽聽跟看一看,VCD這樣的,你們都會比較熟悉。音樂非常好聽,音樂是

                 一個香港作曲家,朱耀光全部是他自己譜寫的,他自己是古典音樂出身,然後是打

                 擊樂跟作曲相學識,是非常棒的一個年輕的藝術家。

  主持人:有網友想問,在接下來出的專輯�堶情A會不會收錄一些經典的老歌?

  辛曉琪:可能會推出一個精選集,會有新歌,之後我會推出一個全新的專輯,因為公司應該

                 會這樣做。其實我自己選的東西回答:跟所謂的公司學的東西可能會很不一樣。有

                些東西他會 站在一個商業的角度衡量,站在一個銷售的一個角度上,所以跟我自己

                 的想法都會 有一些差別。我其實會比較希望可能不是在我自己專輯�媕Y的東西。我

                 唱,我覺得好象有點困難。

  主持人:大家想知道你自己怎麼看?

  辛曉琪:其實以前的歌太多一。

  主持人:會不會都有一個階段性的?

  辛曉琪:其實像在福茂時期的音樂,我非常喜歡,那個時候的音樂性比較厚,花時間那種我

                 自己很喜歡,在福茂時期的第三張。然後有很多東西。因為它不是主打,能夠被大

                 家遺忘,那些東西我還蠻喜歡的。

  主持人:有網友想知道,好多人都會叫曉琪姐姐,都知道你的嗓音是很好的,然後想問一

                下,你是怎麼去保養的。

  辛曉琪:其實聲音,第一個是你的睡眠一定要充分,像我自己,我是比較不吃刺激的東西。

                 然後要注意飽暖,尤其在這邊,在北京,風很大,所以你出去的時候特別一定要護

                 好,高領一定要護好,不要讓它著涼了很重要。然後睡眠真的很重要。

  主持人:應該是很健康的生活方式。有網友想說,能比較方便地知道曉琪的一些情況,有沒

                有想過自己做一個網站?

  辛曉琪:其實我的歌迷幫我作一些很棒的網站。我在這邊先講一個,我們要記得到的。我的

                 英文名字,www.winniehsin.net,這是我的新加坡的一個歌迷幫我做的完整的網

                 站,可以從這�堻s接,北京的,還有內地的,還有上海的,好象很多,他們都幫我

                 做網站,然後可以用這個網站連接到其他的網站,大家可以去看一看。

  主持人:在這�堙A有朋友知道你的具體情況?

  辛曉琪:那邊的都是最新的,很厲害的。他們都是最新最新的更新消息,�堶掄晹竟t唱會的

                 片斷,還有歷年來的專輯介紹,還有他們聽後心得感想,還有一些討論,很豐富,

                 希望大家可以看一看。

  主持人:你自己會去流覽一下嗎?

  辛曉琪:我幾乎每天上去,是的。如果我不在臺灣,或者我工作忙,我會看,可是我不見得

                 會留言,我幾乎天天上來,我到世界各地,都會上去。

  主持人:每天都會看歌迷對你的留言是什麼。

  辛曉琪:因為他們對我很重要,越來越重要。而且我覺得,現在已經變成我生活當中不可或

                 卻的一個很習慣的一個動作。因為我常上網,一上網就點擊,所以大家所有的留

                 言,我都瞭解。

  主持人:對於這些歌迷,支持了很長時間,也做了很多事情,對他們有沒有想說的話。

  辛曉琪:我會再努力,我相信不辜負大家。我會繼續努力,然後你們常講的,我要為你們保

                 重我自己,我一定會的。還有什麼,還有就是希望大家都好了,新的一年,希望都

                 開開心心這樣子。

  主持人:辛曉琪應該是對生活很樂觀的一個人,那平時除了唱歌之外,還有其他的一些活動

                 嗎?

  辛曉琪:除了音樂之外,我喜歡看電影。然後看書什麼的。

  主持人:自己有沒有想過做一些音樂什麼的。

  辛曉琪:有很好的機會跟劇本,我很希望我會演一場戲劇,其實大家可能知道的人不多,我

                 平常聽音樂,很喜歡聽電影配樂,我很喜歡聽電影配樂,因為那個對我兩江空間很

                 大,因為它沒有歌詞,不管你有沒有看過電影,我都很喜歡聽電影配樂,因為那個

                 讓我想像空間很大,有很多靈感,我可以做很多事。

  主持人:像梁祝那樣的東西。

  辛曉琪:梁祝音樂真的很棒。

  主持人:我們當能夠聽到的時候一定要好好地去欣賞一下這部音樂劇。然後馬上這個出來以

                 後,希望大家都能支持今天晚上的演出。很感謝辛曉琪坐到這兒跟大家聊天,謝

                 謝。
