Plasma shot -- clip from music video
LH: That's another one of Jacky Cheung's famous hits, 'A thousand heart-breaking reasons'. Luckily his real life is not so heartbreaking, he's happily married and a proud father of a four-year-old daughter. Earlier this year, Hong Kong Disneyland appointed Jacky as their spokesperson and they say Jacky stands for everything that makes Disney so special.
LH: Jacky, why Disneyland? Why be a spokesperson for them?
JC: They come and look for me and I think, I've been watching a lot of Disney movies with my kids. I think it's about time for me to do something that I can share with my kids.
LH: What do you hope to achieve, raising the profile or bringing to the attention?
JC: I just want to do something that I - you know, I've been in over 60 movies and sing a lot of songs, but most of them I couldn't share them with my kid -- for the moment, actually. Now, as a spokesperson of Disneyland I can tell my kid what I'm doing now (LH: and she can relate to it, right? JC: Yes, she can totally understand and I can show her everything that I'm doing for them
LH: You have done so many things in your life, acting, singing, and musicals. Is there something else that you'd like to do that you haven't done yet?
JC: A lot. I don't know, I'm thinking of traveling. Really looking into the world. Yes, I've been traveling to many many countries -- most part of the world, yes but I just work (LH: that's not the same, yes). When I have some time off, I would like see the world with my family, maybe when my kid is getting...(LH: a bit older, yes so she can appreciate it, right?)
LH: When somebody picks up a Jacky Cheung CD -- anywhere in this world -- what do you hope they will get out of it? What do hope they will feel when they get into your music?
JC: I just want them to feel what they feel. I mean, what's important about songs, it can make you feel something from it. If you can feel something from it - that's what I want actually. You can feel from my album. It might dig up some of your own feelings about something, about memories or whatsoever. It can ease your pain, or it can make you happy for a while or make you relaxed for just a second and that's good enough, that's what I want.
LH: And it's also so amazing that some people don't understand, let's say, Cantonese or mandarin, but still buy your albums and still listen to you
JC: Well, that's good when you've heard something about it they don't just buy your albums for who you are, but just because of your music your voice and that makes you feel good.
LH: Jacky, thank you so much for coming in to talk to us we really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
