馬仔初踏台板得?多
演抑鬱王子感覺複雜 2007年11月18日

【明報專訊】馬浚偉首次參演舞台劇《王子復仇記》。此劇由大中華文化全球協會主辦。創會人趙曾學韞出錢出力，為了把文化搬上舞台，教育新一代青少年重視中國文學，並向學界積極宣傳此劇之舉。

馬仔就讀之母校廠商會中學，全力支持他的演出，單是向主辦單位要票，已達二百多張。另外，馬仔在內地、台灣、香港、美加的fans，已經在網上定票，計劃在本月22日至25日，到文化中心捧偶像場。

馬仔最開心者，還有得到一班新朋友支持。

朱玲玲掏腰包捧場
早前馬仔應慧妍雅集邀請，參加她們的慈善羽毛球賽。朱玲玲等為表支持，將會出席觀看《王子復仇記》，並自掏腰包購票，以支持大中華文化全球協會之善舉，也回謝馬仔參與慧妍雅集籌款。

「為慧妍雅集出力之後，我認識了一班新朋友，她們每個人的球技都比我叻，比我專業，但和她們切磋，就是比輸了也覺得安然，我反而當自己在上羽毛球BB班，我尊重這個運動，更尊重運動後的精神，贏輸並不重要。」

打羽毛球影響人生觀

馬仔表示﹕學習打羽毛球之後，對他的人生觀絕對有影響。

「曾幾何時，自己會將勝負擺在第一位，其實，工作上的競爭，生活上的點滴，非勝則輸，每個人都會經歷這種階段。」

他現時藉看書、寫文章、打羽毛球，慢慢發覺得失不是不重要，但最重要還是存在過、有懷念便夠了，不用太上心。

參演《王子復仇記》，馬仔得麥秋指導舞台表演技巧；又得何文?博士指導粵語正音，引經據典，整個排練過程，單是不同經驗的輸入，已令馬仔得?太多、能演"Halmet"一角，是演員最大的挑戰，也是一種榮幸。

麥秋挑選馬浚偉擔演王子一角，兩個人一見如故，麥秋對馬仔的勤力，肯就角色提意見的態度相當欣賞。

馬仔極為珍惜今次的演出機會。

「我演一個精神抑鬱的王子，現在已開始感覺愈來愈抑鬱，但也愈來愈興奮，總之，演這個劇的感覺，不足為外人道。」

2007-11-28][文滙報]馬浚偉「復仇」中領悟人生幻變 
馬浚偉喜歡看書。他愛看歷史、哲學書籍，滿以為這等書本，在行文用字間，也夠深奧了吧﹗接演舞台劇《王子復仇記》後，他才知道這類書本的文字，絕對容易消化。

馬仔開心得到這個機會，「接到無綫通知，麥秋找我演舞台劇，未嘗試過，感覺好興奮。」因為接這個任務之前，他曾經和話劇界另一位資深前輩毛俊輝傾談過。

今次，「大中華文化全球協會」因希望能把文化搬上舞台，讓中西文化方面有?對比性的交流，所以改編莎士比亞名劇《王子復仇記》，最難得是令人有機會重把何文匯博士於30年前改編之中文版活現觀眾眼前。這個計劃甫向教育界推廣，已引起極大的迴響。

驚歎中華文化底蘊深
「每個演員到了某個階段，都希望有突破機會。在電影方面，我總算有過少許經驗，但從未試過演舞台劇。」馬仔在排練的過程中，完全感受到他接演這個戲是一個正確的選擇。「劇本保留了英文版的神髓，但又看到中國文字的精妙，很深奧呢﹗」面對冗長的對白，每個夾位都要精確無誤，既有文場，又有武場，馬仔入娛樂圈十五年，就以今次最感驚心動魄，也最具挑戰性。「兩個多小時的演出，由頭擔到尾，『點算呢？』，總之，我一定盡力做，現在只是排了兩個月，我已學到很多東西。」何文匯改編的中文版，內容用詞之深，字音之正，演員簡直在上了中文課，談到中文版劇情，馬仔細說︰「王子劉桓，在父王逝世不足兩個月後，竟接到母后改嫁皇叔的消息，皇叔更奪去劉桓之皇位。直到父王鬼魂告訴劉桓，皇叔是殺死他的人，劉桓才明白真相。仇深似海，令劉桓心中只有仇恨，為報仇不顧一切。」

何博士麥導演親自教授
內向、抑鬱，有精神分裂傾向是劉桓的性格，馬仔笑言，他的性格和劉桓真有幾分相似。「一樣的癲癲?，如今愈排愈抑鬱，全身都充滿仇恨之火，一心只為報仇而生存，其他的，沒有甚麼值得再留戀。」一存一亡，皆不能任己掌握，為了報仇，為了保密，將劉桓的心靈撕裂，令他對任何事都不感興趣。而馬仔也愈排愈入戲，人也變得抑鬱起來。「『胸中涇渭，皮裡陽秋，不足為外人道。』(我身體的每一個部分，我的思想，你會明白嗎？)何博士和我研究，消化了文字之後，還和我開玩笑說︰『演完這個戲，以後你可以拋書包了﹗』」

令馬仔感受最深刻的對白，還有道盡了人生百變的幾句︰「丘墓蔽山崗，萬代同一時。千秋萬歲後，榮明安所之？」(當所有人爭名奪利時，山已被墳墓遮住。墓誌銘所記，全部是不同年代的人，但又埋葬在同一個山崗上。萬般帶不走，人一亡，甚麼也沒有了。)何文匯在百忙之中仍撥時間教演員讀粵語正音，就是一個「女兒」的「女」︰「要用鼻音讀……」引經據典，還未正式登台，馬仔已得?太多。

「我已是一個對發音有要求的人，但在何文匯博士面前，我真會自慚形穢。他在三十年前演過這部戲，為了幫我，何博士把找得到的資料全交給我研究，只看自己能在過程中學到多少了。」

他尤其喜歡和麥秋導演研究︰「麥Sir喜歡演員有創意，他可以幫助演員更好地和角色磨合，我好開心，也很感激，在麥Sir面前，我可以盡情表達，我過火了，他又會糾正我的演法。」 ■撰文︰徐蓉蓉

Steven: When Master Piggy Ma was young; when young already so piggy.v

Steven: Slightly over one year's old. I was 8-1/2 half lbs at birth, a fat BB!

Steven: At that time, almost all BB had this kind of pictures taken.

Steven: That's true, I too have heard that a young child will only sleep in the arms of a person he/she trusts. The BB I held either smiled or slept! (Made me) feel good.....


Steven: Read news reports that TVB forbid us artists to play weibo? Who's the instigator? Super fake rumor! (超"流") v

Steven: Getting hungry so BB's going to eat now.

Good afternoon! Actually it is rather interesting to be an actor. The most fun being able to do the ‘decathlon’! It is easy to see that actors show off different talents in different series. In my series world, I’m capable in letters and in martial arts, can dance can cure, can run can ride, can debate can swindle, can be good can be bad. What about the real me, how much do I really know? Today I will pilot a yacht. On the screen, I am relaxed and carefree, outside the screen the crew members trembled. 


下午好!其實做演員真的很有趣,當中以"十項全能"最好玩!不難發現,演員在不同戲劇,就有不同才華,我在戲劇世界,能文能武,能舞能醫,能跑能騎,能辯能騙,能正能邪!那麽,現實中的我,又真懂多少?這天我要開遊艇,鏡頭內我輕鬆自在,鏡頭外エ作人員全身發抖![哈哈] 那英-白天不懂夜的黑-

2010-5-20 12:49  The morning fire scene with the help of nature was finally completed; no accidents, effect was good. Good job, everybody! While waiting for position, I went into the props colleagues’ workroom and sat there. Snapped some pictures. Though ordinary looking, the surrounding when captured in film somehow displays a different kind of feel. Si Ge’s maxim 14: I never listen to one-sided story only or believe in a blink of eye feeling. To get to the whole truth, one must use one’s heart to understand.

Oh Fans are telling Steven more stuff than maybe he wants to hear. haha!

Some of the tweets went like: 
Fans agreeing with each other that Steven is so shuai and cute and handsome and so on and so forth praising Steven's good looks to high heaven. 

Then a fan posed the question to Steven (gist): 4 Ge, you are so 'shuai' (good-looking) . Do you think you are shuai? What do you think of your looks?

Steven.............. no response......fans waited.............still no response

Fans chatted about Steven's looks in different series. Rather ego boosting tweets for Steven to read. 

Finally, Steven said: I think I'm just a normal looking guy ba. 

Fans clamored for more specifics like the truth, backing Steven into a corner.....haha! 

Steven: (gist) Aiya, I've looked at myself in the mirror for so many years now, I'm so used to my own looks, so really can't tell you ba. " lol! 

A cop-out answer if ever there is one. Steven says most important is that the man should be a responsible person.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans urge Steven to have a baby Ma. He says fine, will try his best.

Need to get this out before the 'water' in steven wei bo gets too deep tomorrow. I’m so slow, just found out that if I click 关注的人 on the comments page, a full screen of Steven’s replies for that entry will be displayed . No need to wait for the baidu update. Steven had a free morning today. Said he played badminton, then went to exercise gym then…..? Steven learns new cyber Chinese word from fans: pai or pia (smack) . A Hong Kong author 馮智翔 of several published books actively interacted with Steven fans. ( Steven’s 50 years old writer friend). He was made most welcome by Steven fans.

8:11: Steven: I’m going to play Thomas Cup. Haha! See you later this afternoon. 

15:10: Steven: finished ball game, finished exercise, a wild morning. 

Fans ask for pictures of him playing ball. Steven says he’ll see. Later, says has none to share. 

ref: sm baidu p22
15:40 - Steven tests fans with an IQ question: If you do it, you commit a crime, if you don’t, you’ll be in jail. What is it? 

Within seconds, fans came up with the same answer to each other's. (What’s yours?) Meanwhile Steven has disappeared. 
15:46 - Steven: Already correctly answered. 

15:47 Fan1: 4 Ge, you should be happy instead that this ‘pigsty’ has no dimwits. 

Some fans: What is the answer? What?....

15:47 – Steven It’s ‘in jail’ lah!........ 
Oops!! Steven erroneously posted the wrong answer. 

Fans: , no lah how can that be the correct answer? You made a mistake lah, Si Ge…….. 
(pandemonium)

Later, Steven sheepishly admits his typo error. The correct answer is what the fans have already come out with. 
Poor Steven, tough posting on a small iphone. 

15:55 Steven: it is jail break. Typos,  Don’t want to play IQ question anymore.  (Lol!)

15:56: poor child, we did not laugh at you o... 

15:57: haha! 4 ge, don’t be sad … Just watched PSL promo 1, 4 Ge’s facial expressions were so cute, lots of variation, haha! It is supposed to be a tragic drama, how come laugh so happily ne. 

-----------------------------------------------

16:01 Steven: Test you people on chengyu that has 2 opposite characters. 南轅北轍 
(NOTE: like north vs south, up vs down, left vs right etc.)

Within 10 minutes there were like over 50 entries (wonder if fans looked up internet to get them) Then someone wrote: 东邪西毒 (East Heretic West Poison – 2 Greats in The Condor Heroes, though not chengyu but an ingenious mention, lol!) 

16:05 Steven counters: South Emperor North Beggar. lol!

16:07 Steven: All very good! Ok, Chengyu that means 兩兩相對的 (thing in opposites, vis-a-vis, antonyms) 
Fans’ prompt responses

16:14 Steven: Wah! All very good! 

…………........................

16:25 Steven: Explain today’s definition for 次非殺蛟"

Fans’ promptly posted explanations. Some even got into the history behind the chengyu. (Sounds like Biting the bullet and confronting adversity with courage and determination. Steven should be very proud of his fans’ Chinese literacy. I myself was impressed by their prompt answers.) 

16:38 Steven: All correct, Not bad not bad at all. So we should never be discouraged by adversity. History made the present. I don’t mind being a teacher. So long you its meaning, that’s good enough. Just relax. (in response to a fan reminding others that Steven has only asked chengyu in today’s definition as opposed to its historical origin which was Spring-Autumn Annals. ) 

A discussion ensues among fans on how Steven knows of this chengyu. Did he get it from reading the book of chengyu collection or from the Spring-Autumn annals. 

Steven terse response: The annals. 

……….......................
..
A fan wonders if she should say hi to Steven if she happens to meet him in Shanghai Expo (Steven has previously confirmed he will visit Shanghai expo in July) Another fan her why not. Because she doesn’t know how to react when face to face with him. 

16:46 Steven: If meet in Shanghai, then….lon ban, lon lou,man lei tao tao kong sui yong bat yao. ( opening line of Shanghai Bund’s themesong) lol! 

16:53 Steven: Actually when I finished reading 資治通鑑, I was left with only half a life. As for 東周列国志 only read a little. (historical classics of Ancient China) 

16:57 Steven: That was 7 years ago, spent 2 years self studying China history and cultures. But have already forgotten a lot. Need the books to remember facts. …….. 

17: 35 Steven (gist): Actually….history is a lesson to be learned by humanity but we often choose to ignore its lessons. ...... Sorry, here I go again. 

sm baidu p15 row547

(5/16; 18:34) Steven: The connection between people, so long there are feelings, there will be no distance; if feelings exist then it likes in close proximity even if worlds apart. Let us walk together!

(5/16; 18:42) fan3: But Si Ge, sometimes you treat others nicely, but they may not treat you the same. Feel that people these days are very phony. In this society, how many people are phony and how many are genuine

(5/16; 18:48) Steven: Since can’t tell genuine from phony, why waste time thinking about it? Hurt is accepting (the consequences); happiness is giving (of oneself). It is your choice.

(5/16; 18:58) Steven: What feelings to accept is all based on personal choice! Good or bad will depend on your pov. Of course, I still think one shouldn’t worry about something that can’t be changed, or has yet to happen or has no answers!

(5/16; 19:48) Steven: Seeing you all chatting so happily, I feel so happy! Feel that I am useful. Feigning being cool.….. :tricky:

(5/16; 19:56) Steven: Actually, how old are you people? Can you tell me? The truth...

5/16; 11:21 Steven: I've been filming the whole morning in the middle of the sea . Very windy, no rain, but feel dizzy! . _ .
No lunch, cos' lunch boxes not here yet.

AF# 367 Posted 12 May 2010 - 10:35 AM
Steven is truly enjoying his weibo interactions with his fans. His weibo is so distinctly imprinted with his personality, thoughts, humor and style of writing. Going through his weibo thread on baidu, I translated some of his weibo comments.

He weibo he is having dinner. Inquisitive fans want to know what he is having.
later weibo1: “I had a big bowl of congee, 1 egg, 1 plate of chives and 1 banana!”

Fans complain his dinner was too light. He weibo back he needs to reduce oil, (戒油) but he inadvertently posted the wrong word for ‘reduce’(介vs戒), and of course sharp-eyed fans were quick to pounce on his typo and gleefully expose it. (Don’t understand this nitpicking mentality of his fans and their glee in exposing Steven’s typos. Even the best of us made occasionally typos. In fact, his fans posts are often filled with typos, not to mention misuse of words and malapropism. (白字 & 錯別字) But I digress!)

weibo2: Mistake again! speechless!.. reduce oil! (戒油!) 介! 花籽油 (canola oil) 

Weibo3: Don’t say used to my typos. The word is too brutal. 

Then Steven purposely wrote his message in malapropism*. Lol!
拍圓"柒日程",鵝以雞畫去尚海看細博!

At first his fans were puzzled by his message and wondered if his brain was fried by his fans’ ‘brutal’ words. Belatedly some, understanding Steven’s teasing of them, deciphered his tweet to mean: As soon as 7 Days wraps up, I plan to go to Shanghai to attend the World Expo! Haha! Naughty Steven! lol!

*note:“A malapropism is the substitution of a word for a word with a similar sound, in which the resulting phrase makes no sense but often creates a comic effect.”

Of course, the fans all clamored for a fans gathering with him.
But he weibo: My Expo visit will be a personal one! Fans gathering is a bit tough!


------------------------------------

Weibo few days later:
Steven strings most (not all) his series titles in a paragraph.

Loosely translated to read:
Don’t worry, I'll find a Cupid Stupid person (恋愛星求人) with Land of Wealth (滙通天下) to be my Safe Guard (鉄血保镖) ; this person must be friend with my Watch Dog Buddy (老友狗狗). That person can either be Pu Songling or gold plaque matchmaker (of Better Halves, 金牌冰人) or Luo San (WTLB 洛神). Under the guidance of the moon's beams in October 5th (of Return of the Cuckoo 十月初五的月光) we advanced bravely On The Tracks Or Off (勇往直前) towards Expo. Although A Change of Destiny’s (天機算) prediction is not completely correct, it should not go so far as to have us Quarantined for 7 days (隔離七日)…But amazingly, under Healing Hands (妙手仁心) a group of Grand Piggy Ma’s friends (Steven is Grand Piggy Ma) all transformed into Ultra Protection (非常保鏢) bodyguards, and under a shower of PITNOL (帝女花) petal confetti, they incited each and every golden destiny (AJCL, 金石良缘) to dance; the whole city is in joyous revelry, as exciting as in the Domd chronicles. (鹿鼎記)

别擔心,我會找個滙通天下的恋愛星求人當我的鉄血保镖,這人必需跟我老友狗狗,可以是蒲松齡,金牌冰人或洛神,在十月初五的月光引領下,在世博場內勇往直 前,雖然天機算不盡,總不至被隔離七日..情在妙手仁心下,一眾馬太豬友都变成非常保鏢,在滿天帝女花瓣下,把每段金石良缘舞動,全城盡歡,如鹿鼎記般精 彩!

His thoughts aroused when watching the broadcast of Shanghai Expo opening ceremony.
I spent two years of self-studying “The last hundred years of China history, for that I acquired just one word: “Pain”. Living in Hong Kong? – Great happiness. But does not mean not to understand one’s own origin. I came from Shantou, Guangdong.
(note: I recall a 2006 where Steven said he enrolled for 2 years in an online Chinese history course)

-----------------------------------------
weibo: 5/10/ 21:51
Fans brought up their displeasure over Cupid Stupid ending.
sm weibo1: I know you were all very angry at Cupid Stupid ending.

weibo2: If Yat Bo approaches Jing Gou then what do you want Jing Gou to do? She already said she doesn't know who to choose. A triangle love -- eventually one has to back out. When have the time go read the book "han jing de ai".(含敬的愛) Tell me what you think of it.

weibo3: Seeing your most beloved having a happy good life is also a kind of happiness. At least you've found your most beloved person, and that you know she is living a good life.

weibo4: Actually love and possession do not always go hand in hand. If mutual love, but ultimately not yours to keep, have to let go. If possessed but doesn't love you in return, also have to let go.

weibo5: OK, I'll have Yat Bo pursue Jing Gou again, ok?

------------------------------------------------

eta:
Latest weibo: Steven heartsick over this incident 7 school kids & 1 teacher slayed in China school killing rampage.

The 'water' in Steven weibo is too strong and deep for me to surf, luckily most if not all his weibo are reposted here on Steven baidu weibo thread . But because I'm not following their posts, I can only guess at what they were talking about from Steven's responses.

***************************************************

Leba: I enjoy reading his weibo interactions too. I also read the collated one at the tieba.baidu thread. I just like the way he counts his fans to sleep.... 123zzzzzzzzgoodnite. So sweet and cute! 

Tamaya: 123 zzzzzzzz..goodnite ....very cute and I also like how he had Grand Piggy Ma  with its v to verify his message. haha.
