also taken part in movie projects around Asia. He has won a great popularity,

1. _______
WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like
to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my
last album called Shangri-La. And this album combines the music of ethnic
minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It’s beautiful and original to
Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and
Quench, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture.
Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don’t think anyone has
ever done this before in the hip hop world.
2._______
WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to
come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And
there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it’s really
exciting so I decided that I’m going to need a studio in New York. I’m going to
need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.
3._______
WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved
it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie
and ever since then I’ve been enjoying doing movies. I don’t think I’m much of
an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of
times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging,
producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and you’re surrounded
by other actors and creative people.
4._______
WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I
was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn’t know I could make this
happen. I didn’t know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it
was huge increase of confidence. And I don’t want to say vanity (虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs
confidence.
5._______
WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know,
I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be
followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a
cell phone that has a camera on it… and a blog. In the entertainment news,
there’s a recent trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet
and saying “Oh, so and so saw so and so.” when they see a blog. You know, it’s
completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title of
the newspaper article.
