力宏週記2001年#7 No.37--------SonymusicTW
親愛的朋友們，
我剛剛結束了香港紅磡「不可思議」演唱會，那真是一個超棒的夜晚！老實說，我仍沉醉在12,000位熱情的歌迷來自四面八方的歡呼聲之中，從每一個角度、在每一次的轉身，都有著數以千計的聲音，迎著笑臉、和我一起唱和著。
二個半小時的演唱會一閃即逝，我真的覺得好像在作夢一樣，燈光、音響、旗幟、舞蹈，所有的一切都那麼美好的難以置信。我要感謝你們每一位給我這個永遠難忘的經驗。我想告訴所有支持我的人，不管你們有沒有來到現場，我知道你們的精神是 與我同在的。我還要特別謝謝來自香港、台灣、中國內地、星馬，和日本的歌友會送給我好漂亮的花藍。謝謝那些為了看我的演唱會，而從世界各地飛到香港的歌迷朋友。我希望你們在那晚的演唱會中和我一樣玩得很盡興！我的歌迷朋友們，你們是最棒的！謝謝你們。
而現在...二月二號的演唱會結束了！不知為什麼，在這天之前，我從來沒想到過還有二月三號的存在。事實上，在過去的六個星期中，我醒著的每一分鐘都是為了那晚的演唱會在做準備；每天從健身房到舞蹈教室，每晚在國父紀念館慢跑，到公司與演唱會製作人不斷的開會，和樂隊彩排，重新編排每一首歌的Live版本，練習鋼琴、打鼓、小提琴、背歌詞，跟我的服裝設計師討論....等等，事情 一件接著一件。
我必需承認我的確像是得了「post-222症候群」，在二月三號那天彷彿一切都比往常更安靜，這種五味雜陳的感覺是很難形容的，雖然「結束」有種失落感，但「我辦到了」(I did it!)又讓我相當興奮。這種滋味沒有辦法像奶昔、爆米花等食物一般與大家分享；那是一個被延長的瞬息，它像夕陽、像發自內心的長嘆，是很特別、獨一無二只有我能體會的回憶。
那一天，我不用去健身房，而是坐在飛往北京的飛機上，享受著六個星期以來的第一杯紅酒，六個禮拜的努力都沒有白費，這紅酒的滋味真是棒透了！
到達北京之後，我要拍兩支大陸內地的廣告，一支是運動球鞋 ，一支是男士休閒服，我想，生活的腳步並沒有在演唱會之後停了下來，不是嗎？
今天我從深圳寫信給你們，我即將在這裡參與中央電視台除夕聯歡晚會的演出，這是中國最多人看的春節特別節目，對於能夠受邀前來，我真的感到無比的光榮。回想起我在Williams大學唸書時，我的合唱團Springstreeters表演時，常常在座的觀眾還不到一百人，或是高中時代在學校演出音樂劇，即使是爆滿，學校的禮堂也只能塞得下 700人。在我全部的表演經驗中，沒有一次觀眾的人數是 稍許接近十二億的....我確信我會永遠記住這一天。
新的一年就要來了，一連串的事件讓我覺得心情真好！我覺得未來的一切充滿希望和樂觀的前景....可以確定的是，新的一年給我們大家一個嶄新的開始！讓我們一起加油吧！
新年快樂！God Bless！恭喜發財！身體健康！萬事如意！
Love，力宏

Dear Friends,
I just finished my "Unbelievable" concert in Hong Kong, and what a night it was! To be honest, I am still reeling from the high of 12,000 energized fans surrounding the Coliseum stage from all four sides. At every angle, every turn, smiling faces, thousands of voices, singing along.
The two and a half hour concert flashed by like lightning. I actually felt like I was dreaming the lights, the sounds, the banners, the dancing, everything was all too beautiful to comprehend. I want to thank each one of you for giving me this unforgettable experience. All of my supporters, whether you attended the concert or not, I know you were there in spirit. AND a special thanks for all those gorgeous flowers from my fanclubs in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan! Thanks to all of those fans who flew to Hong Kong from all parts of the world just to see my concert! I hope you enjoyed the concert as much as I did! My fans are the GREATEST!!!! Thank you!!
And now...life after 2/2/02! It somehow never occurred to me that there would be a third of February! In fact, almost every waking moment for the past 6 weeks before the concert was geared towards that evening. From the gym, to the dance studio, to the nightly jog at Taipei's Sun Yat Sen Memorial, to the frequent meetings with my management company, and concert producers, to the band rehearsals, to the re-arranging of each song's live version, to the piano, drum and violin practicing, to the memorizing of lyrics, the meetings with my costume designer...the list goes on.
I must say, I did suffer from this "post-222 syndrome", and on 2/3 felt like keeping even more silent than usual. The feeling is hard to explain, it was a bittersweet "it's over", combined with the rush of "I did it!". I can't really share this feeling with anyone else, it's not like a milkshake, or a bag of popcorn. It was a long drawn out moment, like a deep sigh, like a sunset...a special, and unique memory, just for me.
That day, I did not go to the gym. And on the plane ride to Beijing that afternoon, I enjoyed a glass of red wine, my first sip of alcohol in 6 weeks. I earned that sip. And it tasted good.
After arriving in Beijing, I proceeded to shoot two new commercials for China, the first, E Lai Te sneakers, the second, Gang Shi Lung men's casual wear. I guess life doesn't stop after 222 does it?
Today, I am writing to you from Shenzhen, where I will be performing in China's Central TV Annual Chinese New Year's Special. This being the single most watched TV event in China, it is truly an honor to have been asked to sing live infront of the world's largest television audience. I can't help but think back to my days at Williams College singing with my a cappella group, the Springstreeters for audiences of sometimes a hundred or less. Or my days at Sutherland High School performing in musicals each night for packed houses of 700. In all the performances of my lifetime, I'm sure none comes close to 1.2 billion viewers...I am going to remember tomorrow for the rest of my life I'm sure.
And so, along with the new year, seems to have arrived a whole slew of events that have put me in great spirits! I feel so hopeful and optimistic for the future...one thing is for sure, we are off to a brand new beginning! Let's "JIA YO" together!
Happy New Year, God Bless, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Shen Ti Jian Kang, Wan Shi Ru Yi!
Love, Leehom
