時代浪尖上的中國時尚人物李宇春
倫敦-路透社
李宇春,這個贏得中國版「美國偶像」節目冠軍的音樂學生,至今還頗不適應她成為超級
明星後接踵而來的轉變。
超級女生是一個極其流行的電視才藝比賽,這個21歲來自四川有著男孩般調皮性格的姑娘
在贏得去年秋天的比賽冠軍後從原來的默默無名而一下子飛速竄紅。
估計共有四億電視觀眾收看了長達三小時的總決賽,350萬人為李投了票。(顯然英國沒
弄清楚投票規則)
「這對我的學生生活來說是一個巨大的轉變」高高瘦瘦的李說。她此次來倫敦
主要是來參加中國年慶祝活動的開幕式。
「我仍然和我的朋友們保持聯繫,但我的日程安排太滿了,以致我現在根本沒什麼個人時
間。」她對路透社記者說。
根據李的描述,她的專業是「通俗演唱」,但她從未打算利用這次參賽作為自己職業生涯
跳板。
「我只是陪一個朋友去比賽」她通過一個翻譯說。
贏得比賽以前,她從未離開過中國,也幾乎沒離開過她的家鄉,而現在,她的形象遍佈巨
型廣告招牌和雜誌。
有批評說她的聲音普通,才藝平庸,但這絲毫不能影響她在任何所到之處都受到她粉絲軍
團的包圍。
當記者問她是否贊同美國流行文化對中國的侵入,她說她從來沒有想到過這個問題。「我
從來不考慮這樣的問題。這只是一場比賽而已。我喜歡唱歌所以我參加了」她聳聳肩說。
那她對未來的計劃呢?
「我沒有什麼長期的計劃。但我已經發行了一首單曲,而且今年我會發行自己的第一張專
輯。」李說。「我的唱片公司這次是雇製作人為我寫歌的,但我希望將來自己能夠寫自己
的歌。」
如果她數以百萬的粉絲等不及她的首張專輯面世,很快他們也能得到一份象徵性的禮物聊
以安慰---中國集郵公司本星期發行了一套帶有她形象的紀念郵票----中國大陸明
星有史以來的第一次。
「我非常開心」李說。「這讓我覺得和粉絲們異常親近。」

China's pop phenomenon Li riding crest of a wave
Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:56 PM ET
By Jeremy Lovell
LONDON (Reuters) - Li Yuchun, a music student who won China's equivalent of
"American Idol", is still baffled by the change her superstar status has
brought.
The 21-year-old tomboy from Sichuan was catapulted from obscurity last August
after winning "Super Girls," the hugely popular televised pop talent contest.
An audience estimated at up to 400 million people tuned in to the three-hour
final, and 3.5 million voted for Li by text.
"There is a very big change from the life of a student to this," said the tall,
thin Li, who is in London briefly to open celebrations for Chinese New Year.
"I still keep in touch with my friends, but my schedule is so busy that I
don't get much time to myself at all," she told Reuters.
It was not as though Li, who described her main music college subject as
"pop singing", intentionally used the contest as a career springboard.
"I only entered it to keep a friend of mine company," she said, speaking
through an interpreter.
Never having left China, and barely her home province, before winning the
contest, Li now finds her image plastered across advertising billboards and
magazines everywhere.
Accusations by her critics that she has a mediocre voice with a talent to
match cut no ice with her legion of fans who mob her every appearance.
Asked if she welcomed the apparent encroachment of American pop culture into
China she replied that it was not something she had ever thought about.
"I have never considered questions like this. It was a contest. I love singing
and I entered it," she said with a shrug.
And what of her plans for the future?
"I have no long term plans. But I have already released a single and this year
I will release my first album," Li said. "My record company hired producers to
write songs for me this time, but in future I hope to write my own songs."
If her millions of fans cannot wait for her album to appear they will soon
have a token to tide them over when the China National Philatelic Corporation
this week issues a postage stamp bearing her image -- a first for a mainland
Chinese pop star.
"I am very happy and delighted," Li said. "It will make me feel very close to
my fans."
