S.H.E in Shanghai Interview Chatting About Being Radio DJs
Too Straightforward, Angered “Twins”
[2008.10.28]
Although the new album was named [My Station FM S.H.E], it was not expected that the trio would really start a radio station online. In one short month, they welcomed guest stars such as Ah Mei, Chiling Lin, Jay Chou and Cai Kang Yong as well as ignited the “TWINS controversy”. Yesterday, S.H.E granted an interview in Shanghai and chatted about their thoughts on being radio DJs.
Biggest Failure: The First Interview with Ah Mei Was Over Restrained
S.H.E who normally could talk non-stop, when they became DJs to interview other people, they immediately were at a loss. Ella told this reporter that the first guest star for FM S.H.E was Ah Mei. [That interview, because we were over-restrained, became a “most painful experience”. Because that was the first time, we were very worried that we would not perform up to standard. But, the more worried we were, the less smooth the flow of the interview became, until finally, the whole segment ended up with us kept saying compliments such as “Ah Mei, you are so amazing” and Ah Mei did not have much chances to get a word in edgewise.] Afterwards, all three felt very upset. Hebe even seriously made this conclusion: [Supposedly in a radio program, it should be us that ask the questions and have the guest respond. As the hosts, it should not be us that do the talking ourselves.]
As stars themselves, S.H.E understood what questions could be asked and what questions to avoid. When they were interviewing Chiling Lin, sensitive topics such as romantic rumors would be eliminated from the questions outlined for the interview because as artists themselves, they did not like it when similar questions were posed to them either. [We would take the attitude of a fan in wanting to know things like what food they eat or what would they find troublesome, to let everyone know the private lives of these megastars. More importantly, we hoped to use the radio format to transmit happy and positive information.]
Most Upsetting: Speaking Without Thinking Led to “TWINS Controversy”
The station was launched less than two weeks and S.H.E already experienced the trouble of talking carelessly. That day, Cai Kang Yong was their guest. The trio asked him: In his opinion, which female group was the most popular currently in the Mandarin Chinese music world? When Cai Kang Yong said TWINS, Selina retorted: [Haven’t they disbanded already?] Immediately, this incurred the wrath of TWINS fans and demanded S.H.E to apologize publicly. Yesterday, when this old topic was brought up again, Ella said frankly that at the time, they spoke too quickly without thinking but the media’s exaggeration also made the matter worse, [This incident is a reminder to us that from now on, we should be more careful when we speak, even though our only intention was to make a harmless joke with our guest so that the program would feel more relaxed.]
The truth was, when the trio was very relaxed on their radio program, sitting cross-legged, eating snacks and even bringing Selina’s pet dog into the recording studio. Selina said, what the fans love was this feeling of being real, [Some fans wrote to me that while listening to the program, they could not help but trying to guess whether I was eating chicken cutlet or rice with marinated pork.]
Most Outrageous: Irrational Relationship and Refusing Fan’s Song Request
Of the three, Hebe was recognized as the “most reasonable listener”. Her relationship-related segment {Time for Madam XiBi} specifically focused on questions of both sexes. Yesterday when asked if they had even encountered unusual questions, she recalled that one day, there was a fan that was a student who wrote in and said that she fell in love with a married teacher and wanted to keep an ambiguous relationship with him. [I became very angry as soon as I heard this. She even wanted to request the song {Yes, I Love You}. I immediately decided to cut the song and refuse to play it.] Next to her, Ella also indicated angrily that, at that moment she really wanted to call up the school principal of the fan so that this irrational relationship would end as soon as possible.
This reporter found out that this “online radio station” was only a try-out to coordinate with the new album and had already finished after one month. Hebe said that actually, the person they had hoped to interview the most was her idol Faye Wong, [I really wanted to ask her that when she goes to KTV, would she choose our songs?] Her two good sisters next to her “attacked” her as usual: [Faye Wong is very busy right now. She won’t be coming back out. Don’t even think about it.]
