我順著這個演唱會的rundown由頭到尾去分析一次,看看這個演唱會的問題出在哪裡。開場的歌是《Deadline》、《Sweet Escape》、《Stop the time》所組成的快歌medley。這三首歌根本完全不屬於sidetracks的行列。《Deadline》是張敬軒在2011年的專輯《P.S. I love you》中的第一主打歌曲,而且在2014年中的《Hins Live in Passion》都以medley的方式出現過。《Sweet Escape》如果對於近幾年來開始關注張敬軒的人一定不會陌生,因為它正是最新專輯《The Brightest Darkness》中的主打歌! 而且在年初的《The Next 20》演唱會當中,它已經是主要rundown中的其中一首歌,所以都不是sidetrack。而《Stop the time》在過去的《張敬軒港樂演唱會》及《Hins Live in Passion》都是已經唱到耳熟能詳,再加上它本身都是一首派台歌曲。第一部份的這些快歌,就已經全部不是sidetracks。不過,張敬軒一直都是喜歡用快歌打開演唱會的節奏,而且這三首歌都是優秀的作品,自然是問題不大,而且都成功地把現場的氣氛炒熱。
然後就來到了《病況》及《攝氏零度》的部份,我要大讚的是《病況》的出現令人十分感動! 《病況》這一首sidetrack是源自《笑忘書》專輯的歌曲,繼上一次張敬軒在《The Next 20演唱會》中的encore以一個十分平平無奇的編曲 (其實我想說是比CD的編曲差許多) 去獻唱後,《病況》來到這一次演唱會,終於以一個比較成熟的方式去表演。作為張敬軒多年的歌迷,當然樂見張敬軒去唱出更多這些真正的滄海遺珠。但之後就還原基本步,他選擇了《攝氏零度》去緊接著上一首歌曲。《攝氏零度》不算是太差的歌曲,雖然它都有主打歌的普遍問題,就是旋律太flat、K歌味太重,但算是合格的作品。但是這首歌有另一個問題,就是它都不屬於sidetrack,因為它是《No. Eleven》專輯的主打曲及派台歌,同樣都有少少「唱到爛」的感覺,但暫時我認為還是可以接受的。
到最後encore部份,張敬軒選擇表演了《悲劇人物》,這首的確是一首sidetrack,不過你在The Next 20演唱會已經唱過了,但這首歌總算令我的耳朵舒服一點。但是之後就真的是Disaster,而且是Civil disaster的級別! 為什麼要再唱一次《裝睡的情人》呢? 你說第一次唱得不好,但是第二次都不見得你有即時的大進步呢? 而且都係個句,台上時間有限。Don't fucking waste my time Mr. Cheung。你把一首歌唱兩次,很難不令我懷疑你根本在選歌方面準備不足吧? 然後真是 For the fuck sake,你為什麼要唱日文歌? 你為什麼要唱《First Love》呢? 你為什麼要懶好笑地準備一些音譯的歌詞在大銀幕上呢? 你這樣做是有什麼居心呢? 雖然不是十分難聽,但是我真係感到自己就黎爆血管啦張生......你有這麼多sidetrack不唱,唱了一大堆主打歌派台歌,encore環節卻俾這些貨我? 你沒有時間練歌就出聲,你就不要搞這個sidetrack show,本來這個show大部份的rundown已經離題,根本好多歌都不是經典的好歌,你最後還要唱首日文歌,是不是想我學國足球迷大叫「曰你媽退錢」你先開心? 你覺得你呢個rundown好好玩嗎? Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off。最後的encore 《老了十歲》,我已經沒好氣再聽及再思考。你喜歡這樣做音樂我都阻不了你。
總結而言,這個演唱會是正宗的「掛羊頭賣狗肉」,我不知道你Revisit了什麼才想得出這一個垃圾的rundown。Shit beginning, shit middle, and a shit end。如果你是一心想聽sidetrack而購買了門票的話,我建議你立即轉售手上所有的門票。張敬軒現在變得只會服務那些他轉會到英皇後才支持他的歌迷以及英皇娛樂公司。我想講你在環球時代的sidetracks呢? 為什麼不拿出來唱呢? 因為公司怕你以前的作品比現在更好聽更受歡迎嗎? come on! 你應該要用全sidetrack去排一個rundown出來! 不要輕易受旁人及利益左右。Show us your taste! 麻煩你真的用作品說話,不要得把口去做音樂,而係用你個heart去做音樂,好唔好? 即使比較近期的,例如《Morph》專輯中的《最卑微的願望》、《家園》及《一天》呢? 這個專輯是英皇時期的專輯,可以唱多點吧? 另外最後最後想講的是,如果你好想準時收工,少一點talk,取消植入式廣告的抽獎環節,這樣不就能解決encore太長的問題嗎? 歌手首先先要唱好歌,然後有空才搞其他事情吧,你連練歌的時間都沒有,我感覺昨日入場是被你欺騙了。希望你和你幕後團隊好好想想該如何進步。

“He Was One Of Those Who Are Not Born Handsome, But Develop Charming Features With Age By Continuously Engaging Their Brains With Intelligent Thoughts”—The Necessary Ability To Size Up The Situation In The Journey Of Any Superstar Like Hins Cheung (張敬軒)
Writer Pawan Mishra pointed out a kind of special celebrities, “He was one of those who are not born handsome, but develop charming features with age by continuously engaging their brains with intelligent thoughts.” It was said that there are 2 kinds of talent: man-made talent and God-given talent. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while. With man-made talent, you have to work very hard to react. Hong Kong’s top singer Hins Cheung(張敬軒) was underrated when he came to Hong Kong about 20 years ago. His slow process—two steps forward, one step back—gave his both talents a solid foundation that now supports his powerful stardom.
Performing stars are not trained by the traditional route of university. Taking part in concerts, playing in bands, working with other artists and creating noise on social media are the tough apprenticeship that a singer must go through. While they do all these, they need a great mentor who can smell the talent within them, than what they see in themselves, and give the opportunities to bring it out of them. Hins Cheung(張敬軒) is the natural born mentor in the entertainment industry who is actively helping other younger stars. All the young artists in Hong Kong regard him as their big brother and ‘social worker’. He is a natural leader who has truthful relationships with colleagues, fellow singers, co-workers and even fans. He offers sincere smiles. He enjoys working with other artists, visual or performing, young or old and pop or classical. He communicates amiably on social media with the adolescents. He shares his life experience and candid beliefs on equality issues. Hins is authentically himself, despite harsh criticisms against him, and never masquerades as someone else. In Hong Kong, Hins is the rare singer who is also a spiritual KOL who provides example, viewpoint and direction for the young singers and people in Hong Kong
Born in Guangzhou of China in 1981, Hins’ dream since his childhood had always been to put on music to liven things up. He gave up studying and became a pop singer. In 2002, he came to Hong Kong to look for the new road to success. Life under the new conditions was not easy. His pocket was once empty and he had to work as an assistant in a radio station. He was initially a gigantic loser but quitting was the last option for him. Finally, he overcame hardships and in less than 2 decades, he became a great opinion leader of benevolent value, that may be more amazing than his singing success.
Before, superstars tackle or endure life alone. In the internet age dominated by social media, they have to learn how to provide on a daily basis the attractive marriage of ideas and personal life, and such talking points must also be considered by fans to have a relation to their own lives. I remember watching an online video made by Hins himself telling the story of how a nosy neighbour intruded into his house to check out his private life. The drama embraces the funny experience that we collectively share. Singers can no longer relay messages through their managers. They have to stand out publicly and monitor the best ways of interacting through social media to engage their fans, enhance their career and ultimately build up their personal stardom.
His recent 26 concert shows in Hong Kong Coliseum came as a delightful surprise: as songs continued, Hins mingled cleverly with his band and audience around the stage. He uttered a lot of quotable quotes on the stage. He said, “The most unbearable thing for a kid is the accusation that he is not honest.” He also said wittily, “Fans should not put up banners and placards disturbing other audience. I have already got ready a big joss-paper burner for making them disappear!” “Think about it,” Hins said, “when we look back and learn, life usefully finds its own way out.” People laughed, screamed and sang because of the excitement over the charisma of this superstar. The stage design, without a hitch, was very fascinating. Creative props changed and tied into each song but were consistent with the overall theme.
Hins Cheung and my great concert producer friend Alex Fung(馮貽柏) are the best team for making unforgettable concerts. Alex said, “In Hong Kong, due to budget constraints, we could not make the very expensive concerts. We do try to put art elements into a concert to make it respectful, tasteful and trendsetting!” Hins levelled with us, “If stage machines are not occasionally out of order, our concert will be unbeatable!” Alex produces innovative concerts one after another.
The recent acts of pertinence of Hins are to make an unexpected backstage visit to a young rapper Tyson Yoshi and attend an ordinary school concert to give the students encouragement. For Hins, his good daily activities are surely more powerful than any front-page ad.
No audience nowadays will be impressed with how good a singer is if he cannot express his personality and use it to capture the audience.
There is a theory known as ‘situational leadership’. There are some successful leaders who are good at knowing how to apply quick ideas to lead according to the situation especially on handling topical issues. The stars who try to sing very hard without following the good engagement skills of Hins Cheung is building with one hand, but pulling down with the other. There is no free lunch on earth. There is however an inexpensive way, because of social media, to grab a sandwich by creating viral contents! Nothing is worse than passivity in the modern days.
