News Page 6 Added (050903): 方皓玟15歲被富商看中她不要桃色交易 記者劉衛莉／台北報導 方皓玟說，那位富商足足大她30歲，對她很好，可惜她根本沒有感覺，怎麼可能以這種交換條件，賠掉自己一生的幸福。「不過那時他以為我已經17歲，才會想等我20歲時，就可以結婚。」當時她的母親告訴她這件事，要她自己做決定，她有點埋怨媽媽，「不是應該直接跟我說不准，怎麼還要我考慮？」 其實她也能夠體諒媽媽的心情，與其嫁個不負責任、花心的男人，倒不如選個愛自己的老公，又毋須煩惱經濟問題。「我的生父就是這樣，我媽傷心的帶著我跟妹妹離開，她是怕了，才會覺得有人願意疼我、照顧我，那就夠了。」雖說是媽媽帶大她們姊妹，但因媽媽工作不穩定，她們常寄宿在別人家裡，看別人臉色，12歲她就家事一手包，燒飯、洗衣、打掃都得做。 「也許因此讓我看起來比實際年齡成熟。」方皓玟說，另外可能也因為念中學時學校規定穿旗袍，才會令富商誤以為她17歲了。她很喜歡旗袍，「擎天娛樂」特別照著她念書時的制服款式、顏色，訂做一件幾乎一樣的旗袍送她，為她加油打氣，希望她繼續努力去圓夢，不受外在的影響，做她自己。 Translation : Fang Hao Wen At 15 Wooed By Tycoon, She Does Not Want Sex Transaction Sweet-faced singer Fang Hao Wen, shockingly revealed that at 15 years old, a certain HK tycoon liked her a lot, and was willing to wait 3 years for her, till she reached adulthood when he would marry her. If she agreed, she would get a house, a lump sum of money, and improve the standard of living for her mum, her sister and herself, while the tycoon agreed to support her sister through university, even if she went abroad for her studies. Yet Charmaine rejected the offer, "I might look very frail, but am actually quite strong-willed, and don't wish to rely on anyone." Charmaine said the tycoon was older than her by 30 years, treated her very well, but it's a pity because she simply didn't have any feelings for him, how could she exchange her life's happiness for this kind of transaction? "But at the time he thought I was already 17 years old, so he thought he could wait till I was 20, and then he can marry me." That time, when her mum told her about this offer, and wanted her to decide for herself, she begrudged her mum a little over the matter, "Shouldn't it be the right way to have forbade it immediately, how can she even ask me to consider it?" Actually, Charmaine understands her mum's feelings, rather than marry an irresponsible, promiscuous man, why not choose a husband who would love her, and could solve any frustrating financial problems. "My real father is like that, thus my mum was broken-hearted and left him with my sister and I; she is afraid, that is why she feels that if someone is willing to dote on me, take care of me, that would be enough." Although her mum brought up the 2 sisters, but because her mum did not have a steady job, they would often stay in other people's homes, endure other people's moods, at 12 years old, she could do all the household chores like cooking rice, washing clothes, cleaning, etc. "Maybe because of this I look more mature than my age", Charmaine says. Also, maybe because during secondary school (high school) her uniform was a cheongsam (qipao), which is why the tycoon thought she was 17. She really likes wearing cheongsams, and her record company Skyhigh specially followed the design and colour of her school uniform to make a similar cheongsam for her, so as to encourage her, and hope that she will work hard to achieve her dreams, unaffected by outside influences, but just to be herself. [2003/09/04 United Times] 方皓玟的好嗓子讓李偲菘、蘇永康甘願為她作嫁 記者劉芳婷／台北報導 Translation : Fang Hao Wen's Good Vocals Makes Li Sisong, William So Willing to Work With Her Fang Hao Wen who possesses a starlet's face, with astonishing vocals, including Sun Yanzi's producer Li Sisong who single-handedly made Sun Yanzi a star, and also the singer of love ballads William So, are all more than willing to work with her. In Taiwan to release her 2nd Mandarin album [Dream Catcher], Fang Hao Wen not only invited the renowned producer Li Sisong to produce her album, but also invited the famous songwriter Vincent Fang ( Jay Chou's songwriter) to help her write songs. Also, her touching duet with William So [Bu Meng Wang] also highlighted her new style. Last year when she released her 1st album, Charmaine made heads turn with her resemblance to Seiko Matsuda, while others said she resembled Singapore's Fann Wong (Fan Wen Fang), and even some said she resembled Tian Xin from certain angles. Resembling others is not a problem for Charmaine, she feels that for a new artiste, during the starting phase, if she resembled somebody, it would allow people to recognise her more easily, and as time goes by, all will become clear. As last year Charmaine also released her album during the holidays, competing with a lot of music kings and queens, she frankly admitted that the pressure on her was very high. But Charmaine feels that each has his own distinctiveness and his own fans, so there is no need to worry too much, but just trying her best to produce good music would be enough. Her album [Dream Catcher] uses dreams (wish) as its theme, and with this theme expands into the 3 lead singles [Dream Catcher], [Bu Meng Wang] and [Meng De Di Tu], and especially invited the expert in love ballads Su Yongkang to sing the duet [Bu Meng Wang] with her. Although they recorded the song separately, because both are Hong Kong singers, Charmaine's impression of Su Yongkang is deep. She feels William is very humble, doesn't have the air of a big star, and takes special care of his juniors. She hopes that if in the future she becomes successful, she will be like William So, forever treating herself as a new artiste, learning humbly. After William So heard Charmaine's voice, he also praised her, "It's been a long time since I've heard such a nice voice, and seen such a hardworking singer." As from young her parents separated, Charmaine, her mum and her sister lived separately until the year before she went to Scotland for studies at 15 years old, in that year they lived together. Charmaine, who is a Taurus, really loves her family, saying "My family is the most important to me!" Charmaine, who previously dated 3 guys, now has no boyfriend, and regarding her conditions for her future boyfriend, she says, "The most important quality is that he must take care of the family, and must like my family members even more." Besides that, she says he must not smoke, drink, above 180cm in height, have single eye-lids, don't like branded stuff, doesn't indulge in night-life activities, etc, which make her publicity staff wonder if she is too strict in her conditions. This type of man is near extinction, but Charmaine is not the least bit worried, because now she wants to devote all her energy into her career. [2003/09/03 Taipei Times]
