Newspaper Interviews of Hanwei

Ironically, Hanwei received more publicity than some of those who entered top 10 by getting interviews from all the Chinese papers.  And thank goodness he left early so that we need not waste time watching the haphazard, boring post-show celebration...

热门而没获奖的感言

 

  今年的十大最受欢迎男女艺人奖,陈汉玮、曹国辉、白薇秀、郑秀珍等多名红星被挤出局,让人感觉今年竞争激烈。

陈汉玮:等观众捐木板建船上岸  

 

  陈汉玮说:这就是投选可爱又可恨的地方,也因为这样它才好看。"说以前落选会很失望,今年感觉轻微很多,尤其看到好友洪慧芳、李锦梅、黄碧仁都领奖,以及新人顺利接棒,他觉得还满开心的。"看到好多艺人上了岸(获超级红星奖)很羡慕,我在等观众捐木板给我建船。"问他如何检讨,他说:"其实我还有多东西可以表演,我在等一个好的角色."

Hot but not winning awards - how they feel

  In this year's top 10 Most Popular Artistes Award, Chen Hanwei, Terrence Cao, Joanne Peh, Jacelyn Tay etc were squeezed out, showing how competitive this year is.

  Chen Hanwei: Waiting for audience to give  wood to build boat to go ashore

   Chen Hanwei said, "The voting is both lovable and detestable, and this is why it makes interesting watching. He said that he used to feel very disappointed when he lost, but this year is much lessened. Especially seeing good friends Hong Huifang, Ivy Lee and Huang Biren getting awards and new people succeeding smoothly. He felt happy for them. "I envy the many artistes (all time favorite) going ashore. I am waiting for audience to give me  wood to build a boat." Asked how he would review himself, he said," Actually I still have many things to perform. I am waiting for a good role."

  進不了<十大最受歡迎男藝人>,陳漢偉半途離場,被質疑輸不起。

   <十大最受歡迎男藝人>名單公佈后,原本坐在台下的陳漢偉突然離席。起初,大家以為他起身上洗手間。可是,他卻遲遲未見再回來,也沒有出席之后的慶功宴。

   聽聞有人質疑他是"輸不起",以中途離場做為無聲的"抗議",陳漢偉連忙喊冤:"我真的沒有覺得怎樣,是偏頭痛突然發作,痛得很厲害,不得不回家吃藥。

   原來,他受偏頭痛困擾多年,家中都備有特強的鎮痛藥。紅星頒獎典禮當晚,他原本是好好的,不料卻在節目開始時發作。他一直苦撐住,直到<十大>名單出爐后,知道自己不用上台了,才忍痛開車回家吃藥。

   他說:"吃了藥,在家裡稍微休息后,我有打電話通知經理人說我不能出席慶功宴了。他們都知道我有嚴重的偏頭痛。'

他也說,偏頭痛要來就來,尤其是在人多的場合,當自己成為焦點時,偏頭痛總會突然來襲,令他飽受折磨。

   '一直都有吃鎮痛藥物,沒有辦法。"他無奈地說。

正所謂久病成醫,這些年來他發現紅酒和芝士會誘發偏頭痛。

可能是頒獎典禮前,我喝了兩杯紅酒吧!

   他強調,絕對不是輸不起,請大家不要誤會。

從小到大,我就有第六感,星期五(8日)我已經有預感進不了‘十大’了。'

   所以,他其實是抱著參加盛會的心態,沒有奢望會有奇跡。

"這種特殊的感覺在晚上(頒獎典禮當晚)8時30分左右最為強烈,我坐在台下已經知道不可能拿‘十大’了."

 

還有發揮空間

   阿姐鄭惠玉對去年的影帝陳漢偉滑出<十大>倍感震驚,當事人卻老神在在、沒有絲毫的怨言。

   前天傍晚游泳后接受記者訪問的陳漢偉說:"我真的不失望,早上也照舊運動,生活沒有任何改變。"

去年被捧、今年吃"白 果',他強調情緒沒有大起大落,也沒有質疑賽果。

   他只說,很開心好友李錦梅封后、洪慧芳等了9年終拿到<最佳女配角>以及黃碧仁擠入<十大最受歡迎女藝人>。

他說:"我跟錦梅合作的《歡樂滿屋》獲得好評,已經足夠了。我還有發揮的空間,還有機會等到好角色。"

   他早已說過,獎是"花紅",而角色有如"薪水",獲得可以發揮的角色等于"加薪"。

    "今年只能說我沒有‘花紅’,不能說沒有‘薪水’,‘加薪’幅度是很好的,《歡樂滿屋》的律師角色,我本身就很喜歡。"

他估計自己還有4年就要上"神台"、拿"超級紅星"獎了,在這期間,他深信發展空間仍然很大。

    "明年再來過咯!"他豁達地說。

 

Reprinted in Chinapress

     Chen Hanwei left the show half-way arousing suspicion that he couldn't afford to lose his position in top 10 most popular male artistes.

     After the result was announced Hanwei suddenly left  his seat and was not seen to return. He didn't attend the post-show celebration party too.

     When he heard that some people suspected that he couldn't bear to lose and left halfway as "silent protest", Hanwei quickly pleaded innocence. I didn't feel that. It's because I suddenly had severe migraine and had to go home to take medicine.

     He said," After taking medicine, I rested at home for a while and called my manager that I am unable to attend the post-ceremony party. They all know I have severe migraine."

     He actually had migraine for many years and had kept potent pain-killer at home. On the night of Star Awards, he was alright but unexpectedly the pain started after the programme began. He bore with the pain till after the results of the <Top Ten> when he knew he needed not go on stage and then drove home to take medicine.

     He said that the migraine can come unpredictably and suddenly especially when there is a crowd or when he becomes the focus. It is a torture for him.

     "I have been taking pain-killer all the time. No choice." he said helplessly.

     As the saying goes, one becomes  doctor after falling sick for a long time. He found out that red wine and cheese can trigger the migraine.

      Perhaps it was because I drank 2 glasses of red wine before the award ceremony!

      He emphasised that he is not sore about losing. Please do not misunderstand.

      " I have sixth sense since a kid. On Friday (8th) I already have the premonition that I won't enter "Top Ten'.

 

There is still room for development

       Zoe is shocked that last year's Best Actor slipped out of <Top Ten> but he is calm and didn't seem to have any grumblings.

       He was interviewed last evening after swimming. "I really wasn't disappointed. I continued exercising in the morning , life continue as usual."

       Last year he was promoted, this year he gets nothing. He emphasised that he is stable in emotions and does not question the results.

      He only said that he is happy his good friends Ivy won Best Actress, Huifang won "Best Supporting Actress" after 9 years and Biren was able to enter 'Top ten most popular female artistes".

      He said," Having good review for <House of Joy> is good enough. I still have scope for development, still have chance for good role."

      He had earlier said awards are "bonus", roles are "salary" and having good roles is equivalent to 'salary increment".

      "I can say this year I don't have 'bonus' ,can't say I don't have salary, salary increment is good as I like the lawyer role in <House of Joy> very much.

      He estimated that he still have 4 years to win "All time favorite star". In the meantime, he strongly believe his scope of development is very big.

      "Next year try again!" he said magnanimously.

 


Shin Min (12 dec)

    Despite attending <Star Awards> ceremony even though he is sick, Chen Hanwei still lost out in the Top 10 most popular male artistes award. Last week he  even had to go to the hospital to check up because of gastro-intestinal upset!

    MCS Ah Ge was thought to be able to enter this year's Star Awards Top 10 popular male artistes list but unexpectedly he was out. He went home empty-handed!

     Hanwei took it in his stride in the face of this failure. Yesterday when he received our newspaper's telephone interview, he said, "It's not that I have not lost before. There is always up and down in acting career. This year it's probably lack of luck!'

     Hanwei revealed that he is already affected by migraine but insisted on not taking pain-killers. Hence he wasn't feeling well during the ceremony. This is aggravated by the congested seating. So the moment the ceremony ended he went home to rest.

    He said that recently his home in Malaysia is undergoing renovation and he also just shifted into his new house in Singapore. Perhaps he was overstrained and his health is affected  I went for thorough check-up in the hospital, the result showed that I have infection of the gut. Now I am very careful with what I eat."

   Hanwei now takes special care of his health. He said," Health is most important. This year no award, can try next year. Without health, everything will be fake!"
