    异国他乡(下)



      一切准备就绪,徐晨的这期专访也正式开始。

      Alice: Mr Xu,please allow me to congratulate XingChen Group went public in Hong Kong last week.It is a great honor to invite you as the cover of this issue.
      Xu: Thanks for your praise,I'm also gratified that XingChen Group can achieve today's success. Several years ago, it was just my personal music studio. I'm so grateful that all of the hard-working staffs in XingChen. Without them, without today's XingChen.
      Alice:Great! Besides a singer,a merchant,it is said that you're still a fashion icon. Are you extremely concerning yourself in clothes matching?
      Xu:Not really. I won't tend to pay more attention to clothes,sometimes my manager or assistant will prepare suits in advance if I need to present public ceremonies. But in my spare time, I prefer to go to those minor unique clothing stores and select some leisure clothes fit my style.

      Alice: Right,from your former photos, we find you have a wonderful taste in clothes match,can you talk about your understanding of fashion?
      Xu: In my opinion, it is hard to give a certain definition for "fashion". Even the most famous clothes designer in the world is unable to definite it exactly. But I always keep a point: fashion is not equal to "alien", although everyone wants to be special and distinctive, but you know that too much water will drown the miller. I do think "fashion" is to keep my personality, as well as select clothes fits my taste.By the way, I possess my own clothes brand, and I have been learning to be a designer.

      Alice: Fine,it seems that you are quite a character. Could you give more specific about your clothes style?
      Xu: In fact, I usually won't concern about certain brand, and quite a few clothes of mine is offered by brand sponsors.When I was 20s,I was always wearing in bright. For a pop singer, the biggest career dream is to be the center of public. I think it's important to keep a positive,energetic,and active figure when I was facing those audiences and fans.
      However,as a business man, I tend to look mature and generous, most of time I'll care more dark colors. Of course,my leisure clothes'style is diverse.Casual for home party, suits for public. I think "fashion" is a kind of personal style or life attitude,not only for clothes.

      Alice: Aha,it sounds that to be a fashion icon is interesting, however,to be the CEO of a large company, maybe you will feel more stressful.
      Xu: Of course,I was just a signing singer before,just like trainees in South Korea. From a singer to the CEO of a public company,I still remain the stage of learning and attempting.I'm always exploring that how to become a capable top manager.
      Alice: Maybe you're so modest,Mr.Xu. Before this interview,we have known that you are an extremely influential singer in China pop music field. During your career,you have released over 20 personal albums and the whole sales is considerable. Also,you have the experience of setting up your own music company before. In summary,I think you really possess the potential and ability to be an excellent business man.
      Xu:Obviously, you must have made much effort for today's chat. Indeed,besides the title of XingChen's founder,I'm also a singer. Twenties'years ago,I was well-known because of a talent show,and then I became a professional singer, then I have been working for a large media company in China mainland until my contract expired.

      Alice:So,you mean that you resigned from your former company and start your own career?You are so courageous!
      Xu: Yeah, I said goodbye to my former boss,and decided to set up my music studio,maybe you don't know, today's XingChen Group just develops from it.At first,our main business focus on music,on the one hand,as a singer,music is my major;on the other hand, becoming an excellent professional singer,is my own perpetual life pursuit,not only for career.
      Alice: Wow, Mr Xu, We're so surprise that you're willing to share your experience about your career. Are your parents musicians?Do you graduate from music academy?
      Xu:Indeed,I was involved in music when I was a middle student. and I do graduate from a music university in China, and my major is popular music & dance.
      But my parents are ordinary wage earners. Although my mother loves singing, she just see it as a hobby. But I have to say, my music talent comes from my mother, she can sing very high-pitch songs easily.
      Alice: It is ture that your family provides you a good environment for your career. But can you talk about your attitude or feelings about music?
      Xu: For me, music is not only a hobby,job,or a way to make money.It's my favorites in my life. I always think I'm so lucky and proud that I can choose my favorite thing as my whole life's career. Without deeply love,I won't persist it for so many years. This is also the most important reason that my fans are always giving strong backing to me. If I can't do my favorite job, I won't feel any happiness in my rest life.

      Alice: Well,I agree with your point. Interest is the best teacher for a person.And besides music, could you tell us the reason you start to get involved in vast media industry?
      Xu: Recent years, the development of Chinese economy is getting increasingly better. Also,the prospect of our mainland culture industry is promising. As a business man, I'm aware of the importance of looking into the future with a long-term view. At the same time, as a public figure,I hope I can try my best to do some contribution for our national economy.
      Alice: Got it. Mr Xu is also a person full of responsibility.And you said that you possess your own brand. Can you talk about XingChen's fashion business in the near future?
      Xu: Fashion business is a key point among XingChen's layout,and we still have been cultivating new stars or models since fashion business group founded. We have our own mature training system for newcomers,too. I hope one day that our own stars will come to Paris to attend the Fashion Week,or my own clothes brand can be appreciated by this field.

      Alice:So do I. Your dream will come true in the near future. Time is fleeting so fast,in the end, would you mind talking something about your future life love?Is that girl whom you expressed your appreciation in Hong Kong?
      Xu: Well,at the beginning, I said that I don't want to talk about my privacy, but now I just intend to say a little bit. Just that girl you know, I appreciate her for a long time, and I hope one day she can accept my love.
      Alice:Wow,I guess that she must very beautiful and extremely excellent?
      Xu: Yeah. From my fans to XingChen's Creative Director, she is very outstanding and excellent. From her hometown to Beijing, I deeply know that she has experienced so many hardships and difficulties because of me.
      Alice:Actually,she is so special. It must be true love that becoming your staff to get your appreciation. Anything else you want to tell her?
      Xu: Um...I want to say,that I have the chance to know my career selection is right, I feel my life is quite meaningful, because of your long-term persistence and trust for me.
      Alice: Right. Best wishes for you and your life love. Finally, we appreciate your time with us today.We expect next interview in the future.Good luck!
      Xu: Good luck,see you again.

      采访终于结束,整个过程也都算顺利。连Alice都很意外,像徐晨这样来自非英语国家且没有海外留学经历的中国人,竟然能在没有翻译的环境下,完成一场90分钟以上的全英文采访,真的很难得。虽然他的口语与地道的“牛津腔”相比还有差距,但并不影响两人之间的交流,问到专业的问题,他也是对答如流,完全不需要太多的停顿。而且,他的口语水平在Alice采访过的其他中国明星里都算是中上水平。

      两人从包间出来,一眼就看到了坐在外面卡座喝咖啡的编辑Carla和熙熙,采访顺利完成,Alice随即把录音笔和采访稿交给Carla过目,采访中的详细内容基本都记录在录音笔中,稿件上则是记录了徐晨回答的一些重要的问题。

      “Good job! Just recognize today's draft before next week, and then send an e-mail to Xixi in case miss Mr Xu's personal suggestion.”Carla对Alice吩咐到。
      “Got it. Mr Xu's oral English is great! This is the first time that I have an English interview with a Chinese star without translator. ”Alice对这次采访相当满意。
      “In my spare time, I will spend quite a few time on learning English, just like watching American movies, singing English songs…and I take business English course about twice a week,so,I don't think it's tough to me.”徐晨落落大方地解释了其中的原因。

      的确,他做音乐专辑的过程中经常要和国外一些知名的音乐人沟通切磋,参演一些大制作的电影也需要艺人有英文功底,再加上有时候去国外出差也需要会说英语,所以他私下里一直不忘“充电”,因为大学读的是艺术院校,他的英语基础稍差一些,付出的努力也比别人多很多。

      熙熙之前帮他接的一些电影剧本中有不少剧情都是在国外拍摄的,开始进剧组的时候,他连背熟英文台词都很吃力,以致于导演每次拍到他的戏份都要NG多次,有时候剧组还不得不找后期重新配音,和其他英文不错的同行相比,他觉得很是尴尬。

      而如今的他却能在没有翻译的情况下,游刃有余地接受这种长时间的英文专访,口语向来不太好的他能达到这个水平,自然是花了很多时间和心思的。就连熙熙和Amy都不知道,无论工作到多晚,徐晨都强迫自己每晚睡前必须背完一篇英语文章,的确是冰冻三尺,非一日之寒。

      Alice笑着调侃到:“The devil is always in the details. Mr Xu,you'll go far. Well, I also expect one day,we can invite your fiance to《L.M》 and talk about her deep love for you.”
      “Common expectation.”徐晨自信地说到。

      采访结束,这边的工作基本告一段落,Carla只要下个月出刊前把定稿和封面图发给熙熙,然后让徐晨把个关就行。和两位美女编辑告别,徐晨随即联系Mason中午一块吃饭,他们三人最终敲定就在贝尔希公园附近找个餐厅用餐。大概半小时后,Mason开车赶到徐晨他们订好的餐厅,三人找了小包间就准备点菜用餐。

      你的工作基本over了?”Mason一边看菜单一边问徐晨。
      “是的,今晚参加完那个时尚派对,明天我们就回北京了,下午1点多的航班。”徐晨喝了口茶说到。
      “你们好不容易来一回我们…浪漫多情的巴黎,也不多玩几天。要不你明天回去,我带熙熙美女多玩几天?”Mason开玩笑地问到。
      “做梦吧,我才不想和一个中文都说不利索的人待在一起,和你这种只会说ABC的黄皮肤人沟通不畅。”熙熙没好气的说到。
      Mason调侃到:“熙熙美女别这么激动嘛…用你们的话说,你这叫羡慕…嫉…妒…恨。你是不是怕和我待久了,哪天忍不住…爱上我?”
      熙熙笑着回应到:“我对自己的审美还是很有信心的。比起你这个ABC,我更爱人民币。”
      “我…这么帅一张脸…不如钞票?”Mason一时语塞。
      “兄弟你听我句劝,不要随便惹女人。还有,你也的确不是熙熙的菜。你这盲目自信的毛病得改改,赶紧点菜吧,这顿我来请,任你敲诈。”徐晨“好心”地建议到。
      “徐晨,你这话我可…不爱听。你漂洋…过海地来趟巴黎,我的地盘还能让你请客?本人的一世…英名…可不能…毁在你这,这顿饭…怎么都应该是我请你。”Mason仗义地说到。徐晨的确没说错,Mason就是表面“不务正业”,人还是很靠谱的。
      “是啊,你兄弟这么喜欢给你省钱,就别拒绝人家的好意了。回头他来北京,你再请他吃一顿不就行了。”熙熙也适时地插了句话。
      “纠正一下,我这叫尽地主…之谊,你们中国话…是这么说的吧。巴黎是我的地盘,二位必须给我个…面子。”Manson一本正经的说到,“尽地主之谊”这句俗语还是他跟徐晨学的。
      “好了,二位先把菜点完再聊行不?我这点的差不多了,你们看还少点什么?”徐晨问到。
      “唔,再加个焗蜗牛、一份鱼子酱。”Mason看着菜单说到。
      “我点个水果沙拉当甜点吧。”熙熙也点好菜了。

      等菜的间隙,Mason拿着手机一边刷着Ins账号上小女友晒的美食美照,时不时还跟徐晨和熙熙说点什么,然而他们两人似乎对他的“绯闻女友”并不感兴趣。不一会儿,他们点的菜也上齐了。忙活了一上午,实在是饿了,三人也就自顾自地开吃。

      吃到一半的时候,徐晨忽然想到了什么,跟熙熙交代到:“晚上你去我们住的香榭丽大街的购物中心逛逛,给思语买个礼物,女生喜欢什么,你肯定比我懂,刷我的信用卡。”
      熙熙解释到:“法国最有名的就是香水了,但超过50ml就得托运;如果是别的东西,超过重量也得托运。”
      徐晨爽快地说到:“我记得思语好像不常用香水,买个LV或者Hermès(爱马仕)的包给她吧,适中价位的就行。然后你和Amy一人选一样自己喜欢的香水或者护肤品,结账的时候都刷我的卡。”
      熙熙“委屈”地说到:“哟,我们这算不算蹭了一次未来老板娘的福利?不过,徐晨你啥时候也送我一个LV的包啊,去年底我买个香奈儿的手袋,信用卡都刷爆了。”
      徐晨建议到:“星晨给你开的薪水,还不至于让你透支信用卡买奢侈品吧。你也是的,出门在外别乱花钱,没事学学投资理财。”
      熙熙无奈地说到:“你是不知道,我去年年中算了下这几年攒的存款,加上我爸妈的一部分,正好够付通州那边一套三居二手房的首付。我看那房子条件不错,就跟房东签了合同。所以,我现在每个月的贷款差不多占了收入的大半,成了名副其实的‘房奴’。”
      Mason也感同身受地说到:“彼此彼此,我们巴黎的房价…也是一样的高,很多巴黎人都是不买房的,那个价格,真的…吓人。我们这行收入比较高,勉强买得起,收入不高的,是真买不起。不过伦敦还好,我爸妈住的地方房价不算特别吓人的。”
      熙熙有些悻悻然地说到:“我是想着,我爸妈年纪也大了,过两年我准备把他们从老家接到北京来,以后我在北京结婚成家也有个照应,他们也觉得来北京养老还行,毕竟我在这边,我这回买房真是下血本了。”
      “大城市的生活压力确实不小,不过也是自己选的路。我刚来北京的时候,借住在圈内朋友家里很长时间,有时候工作压力大,还不敢跟家里说,不想我爸妈担心。”徐晨也是感触颇深。也正是因此,徐晨才更加懂得思语的不易。正如他在今天的采访中跟Alice提到的一样,因为思语的执着以及这么多年对他无条件的深爱,他真正觉得自己的人生是那样的有意义。

      “徐晨,熙熙小姐,我们干一杯,敬各自的勇敢!Cheers!”Mason提议到。
      “Cheers!我们俩兄弟难得异国相聚一次!”徐晨举杯回应。
      “Cheers!觉得你好像没那么讨厌了。”熙熙笑着说到。
      Mason八卦地问到:“熙熙小姐,我很受人欢迎的,是你对我有…偏见。徐晨,我刚听你说要送个包给谁当礼物?Petite copine(女朋友)? fiancée(未婚妻) ?你结束单身了?”
      “吃你的饭吧,不该问的少问。”徐晨才懒得回应。
      “Ok,I shut up.”Mason做了个封口的动作。
      徐晨接着说到:“有好消息我会告诉你的,这个人情你跑不掉。”

      差不多下午2点的样子,这顿饭也吃的差不多了。Mason如愿以偿地尽了他的地主之谊,徐晨也大方地答应,等Mason下回再去北京,他绝对乐意接受他的“敲诈”。
      徐晨有些歉意地说到:“我晚上还有个时尚圈的派对要参加,在卢浮宫附近的利兹酒店,不能和你共赏巴黎酒吧的纸醉金迷了,见谅。”
      “你放心地…去应酬啊,我的mon chéri(甜心)等着我喝下午茶呢,祝你们明天回北京一路顺利。”Mason的话明显是有异性没人性。
      “ABC,你赶紧撤吧,别让人家姑娘等你。”熙熙虽然没学过法语,不过听Mason的语气就知道,跟他约会的人绝对关系不一般。

      送走Mason,他们两人也准备出发。徐晨打车往晚上举办派对的酒店赶去,熙熙没有邀请函无法参会,不过她也不是特别喜欢这种社交场合,索性也就不跟着去凑热闹了。想起徐晨交代她买礼物的事,她先给Amy发了条消息,问她想喜欢法国什么牌子的护肤品或者香水,还特意强调了一句:徐总买单。北京现在差不多晚上8点左右,Amy今天下班有点晚,这时候正在回家的地铁上,看到熙熙的消息,就说让她“代购”一套中档的护肤品,反正是老板出钱,不要白不要。

      这个事落实后,熙熙准备打车去香榭丽大街,也就是他们住的酒店附近逛逛,顺便帮忙买好回国要送给思语和Amy的礼物。这几天忙着工作,一直都没时间真正感受下巴黎市中心的“奢华”。一想到明天就要告别这座时尚之都了,熙熙心里还真是有点不舍。的确,能到这么浪漫的城市出差,就连工作都感到无比幸福。
