Singing, Filming, and boyfriend

Anita Mui wants 3 kinds of love, but so far only got 2 

(1987)

This year, Anita Mui has been nominated for the Best Actress Award for the Golden Horse Award for the film "Rouge", and she won and came back with the title of the Best Actress.  Her mother and sister, Ann,  came to the airport to meet her.  Ah Mui told her mother: [Ah Ma, I made it!]

It was a scene of joy and comedy, she made her mother,  sister, grasshoppers and all the media people so happy with laughter.

Being Best Actress, but no increment in salary

Anita Mui shows her character of a comedian as her role in the films "Happy Bigamist" and "Inspector Chocolate", but she got the award for the role as a sad and sentimental courtesan, it is entirely different from her normal comedian look.  This proves that Ah Mui can perform a very wide range of characters, that justifies her to be entitled as [Ever Changing Anita Mui].

Holding the shining gold horse statue, Anita Mui said: [My gratitude to Stanley Kwan and Li Pik Wah for their instruction, thanks to Leslie Chueng for his concentration and impetus, they brought me this award.  I hope I have chance to work for many good movies, I won't ask for increment for salary, and I won't just accept roles for melodrama, comedy, I will try for action movies, because filming is the 2nd most beloved thing in my life.]

Preparing for concert, real test

Ah Mui said her most beloved thing in life is not love for boyfriend, but is singing that everyone knows.  So after her return, she will concentrate in the rehearsal and preparation for her concert in December.

Chu Po Yee, who played the other female leading role for "Rouge", congratulated Ah Mui for the special honor of being the Best Actress.  Chu Po Yee said: [It is said her concert tickets are already pre-booked and already sold out for 22 shows.  This time she got this Golden Horse Award, it is an addition to her glory, will enhance her popularity, wondering how many more shows will be added.]

Anita Mui said she is not intentionally to break the record of number of shows, she only tries to do her best.  She told the Grasshoppers to work hard for the rehearsal, not to be late.  She too tries her best to get rid of her bad habit of being late, because this concert will be a test for her personal skills and physical condition.

The reporter asked Ah Mui, she loves singing the most, then filming,  what ranks 3rd? Does she loves her mother, family or her boyfriend?

Filial love for mother and sister

[The most difficult is the 3rd love, love for boyfriend,  Ai, I have been queen of singing, queen of film, but have never been queen of romance.  What and what boyfriends, all past, all gone.  Till now, I still haven't found real love, I'm a total failure in this area.]

[Wow, okay, 1st, 2nd and 3rd all are love for your career or boyfriend, nothing for mother, parental love is ranked 4th, not so much filial love?] Anita Mui was retorted by reporter.  Who knows Anita Mui always being eloquent immediately replied: 

[Mother and sister can't be ranked, because they are simply my life, they are blood related.  If they are taken into ranking, then I will be considered as not filial lar.]

 

 


 唱歌•電影•男朋友

梅艷芳心中有三愛    最悲兒女情冇著落
 

1987年

 梅艷芳今年以《胭脂扣》一片被提名金馬獎最佳女主角角逐,一擊而中,捧了個影后寶座回來,她媽媽和家姊梅愛芳來接機,阿梅對媽咪說:「阿媽呀,我得o左喇!」

 喜劇場面,逗得媽媽姊姊和接機的「三草蜢」蘇志威、蔡一智、蔡一傑,與及在場記者,全部開心大笑。

榮膺影后•不加片酬

這則回復了梅艷芳演《一屋兩妻》《神探朱古力》的喜劇本色,而她今次得獎作品中所演,則是個幽怨哀惋百載纏綿的人鬼之間一個痴情妓女,和阿梅平日的喜劇面貌,完全是兩回事。這便還證阿梅是個戲路甚廣的演員,被稱為「百變梅艷芳」果然有理。

捧著金光閃閃金馬獎的梅艷芳說:「多謝關錦鵬和編劇李碧華的指導,又多謝演對手的張國榮的投入及帶動,我才拿得到這個獎。我以後希望再多拍好片,而且不加片酬,也不限於只拍藝術性的影片,喜劇拍,甚至動作片都想拍,因為電影,已是我生命中第二最愛的東西了。」

投入個唱•真正考驗

阿梅表示她生命第一最愛,當然不是愛情,而是人所週知的唱歌,這次回來後,便謝絕應酬全力投入為十二月演唱會作排練籌備了。

同演《胭脂扣》的另一女主角朱寶意,恭喜阿梅榮膺影后,朱寶意又說:「阿梅的演唱會訂票,早已聽說被郵購和圈中人預訂,滿了廿二場,今次拿了個金馬影后寶座回來,更是錦上添花,再增聲勢,又不知會加滿多少場了。」

 梅艷芳則說她並非刻意要破演唱會場數紀錄,她只全力求好,為了叮囑「草蜢仔」三人,綵排操練,絕不可遲到,她自己也會全力改變遲到習慣,因為這次是真正的接受個人技藝體力健康的考驗。

 記者問阿梅,第一愛唱歌,第二愛電影,第三愛甚麼?愛媽媽家人還是男朋友?梅艷芳說:

敬孝母姐•骨肉相連

「最慘便是這第三愛,愛情之愛,唉,做過歌后做過影后可是卻未做過愛情皇后,以前的o也o也烏男朋友,像日本仔高橋等,通通都吹了,散了,找到現在仍未找到真愛,這方面我是認真失敗。」

 「哦,好了,一愛二愛三愛,都只是事業愛情,沒有媽媽份的,對母親之愛,排到第四啦,孝心方面差些少喎。」當場這樣向梅艷芳「抽秤」一下,誰料能言善道的阿梅說:

 「媽媽家姊這些是不在排位之內的,她們根本就是我的生命,是血肉相存的,如果也拿來排位,那才是不孝咧。」
