緊裹著一件紅色方格子外套的“周璇”，仰躺在候車(chē)室的長(zhǎng)凳上，如果不是略帶著沙啞的“招牌”嗓音，人們差一點(diǎn)就認(rèn)不出躺在長(zhǎng)椅上的便是樸素而美麗的演員張柏芝。“小周璇”剛剛得知自己的身世，原來(lái)自己是被領(lǐng)養(yǎng)的，受不了這個(gè)打擊的她離家出走，借宿在候車(chē)室的長(zhǎng)椅上，她被“啟明”(劇中周璇的第一任丈夫)吹的口琴深深吸引，起身后看見(jiàn)了養(yǎng)母留在地上的字：“快回家吧!”不禁哽咽。這是張柏芝飾演《周璇》電視劇中的一個(gè)鏡頭。

據(jù)說(shuō)張柏芝以800萬(wàn)的天價(jià)片酬加盟《周璇》劇組，劇中周璇的造型均為張叔平親自設(shè)計(jì)，分為三個(gè)階段：第一階段的清淡裝扮代表了十六七歲未出道時(shí)的她，第二階段是正在走紅的二十一二歲的她，第三個(gè)階段是經(jīng)歷了滄桑年屆三十的她。盡管張柏芝的外表、嗓音和演技都曾經(jīng)遭到外界的質(zhì)疑，但她還是努力著練唱歌、練跳舞、彈鋼琴，讓自己越來(lái)越向金嗓子“周璇”靠攏。她坦言演得最舒服的是第一階段，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)候的“周璇”單純可愛(ài)，是比較清純的一個(gè)小女孩。

有記者詢問(wèn)張柏芝怎么演出“周璇”的清純?并暗示張柏芝自己已經(jīng)在演藝圈摸打滾爬8年，早已經(jīng)沒(méi)有了剛出道時(shí)拍《喜劇之王》時(shí)的簡(jiǎn)單，她顯得漫不經(jīng)心地回答：“我想，憑著我8年的表演經(jīng)驗(yàn)可以讓自己快速入戲，當(dāng)然之前也要做很多功課，比如看她寫(xiě)的日記，她是個(gè)非常單純的女生，她一直很渴望最平凡最簡(jiǎn)單的生活，我跟她最像的地方是我們都追求這樣的生活。但是我們身在娛樂(lè)圈，身不由己。”

對(duì)張柏芝在拍攝《周璇》中的表演，飾演“周璇”愛(ài)人“啟明”的潘粵明說(shuō)：“張柏芝一定是我心目中的周璇，就好像我堅(jiān)信劉濤就是白娘子一樣!如果我不這么堅(jiān)信，我就不能演好這個(gè)角色!”飾演“啟明”的潘粵明在劇中也有出色的表演，他為了讓“周璇”變成有名的“歌星”，想盡辦法逗她開(kāi)心，教她唱歌跳舞；等到“周璇”出名后各種污言穢語(yǔ)讓他漸漸透不過(guò)氣來(lái)，他逐漸變得越來(lái)越壓抑，酗酒成癖，還經(jīng)常打罵“周璇”。

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的潘粵明大贊張柏芝的敬業(yè)，并舉例說(shuō)有一場(chǎng)戲拍的時(shí)候天很冷，“啟明”在戲中需要怒不可遏地扇“周璇”一個(gè)嘴巴，這時(shí)張柏芝會(huì)主動(dòng)說(shuō)，“該怎么打就怎么打，也不要假打，打得狠點(diǎn)我才能感覺(jué)真實(shí)，這樣我們說(shuō)不定還能一次過(guò)。”至于兩次拍被綁架的戲，被人扭著塞到車(chē)?yán)锏哪切╃R頭，都是由張柏芝親自完成的。

張柏芝稱自己是個(gè)“工作狂”，第一次拍電視劇就覺(jué)得比拍電影開(kāi)心：“拍電視劇13個(gè)小時(shí)沒(méi)有休息我都不覺(jué)得累，因?yàn)樵脚脑脚d奮，可是拍電影有時(shí)候等8個(gè)小時(shí)只有一個(gè)鏡頭，很不舒服?！薄吨荑返呐臄z進(jìn)度“快得出奇”，最近的一段時(shí)間，張柏芝每天都有夜戲，幾乎每天都要拍到凌晨，有好幾次張柏芝居然在化妝的時(shí)候睡著了，但劇組人員并沒(méi)有立刻叫醒她，而是等一切準(zhǔn)備就緒才叫她演戲。

“張柏芝大牌?誰(shuí)說(shuō)的?”導(dǎo)演反駁別人的說(shuō)法，“幾天前她還給我買(mǎi)水呢?！痹瓉?lái)那天上午拍了十幾場(chǎng)戲，所有人趁著中午休息的時(shí)間原地休息，這時(shí)張柏芝從車(chē)中拿出早已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好的飲料逐個(gè)遞到工作人員的手中，她說(shuō)：“每人都有，一個(gè)都不能少。劇組中最累的不止我一個(gè)人，大家都一樣!”這番話讓工作人員很感動(dòng)，“耍大牌”的謠言自然不攻而破了。

從18歲正式入行到如今已經(jīng)8年，張柏芝用她的坦率且棱角分明的個(gè)性應(yīng)付著褒和貶。對(duì)愛(ài)情，也從來(lái)不避諱，也許她非常能設(shè)身處地地體會(huì)“周璇”在風(fēng)光背后內(nèi)心承受的壓力和不開(kāi)心的角落，而她自己“每一分每一秒我都想到‘人言可畏’，但是我仍然開(kāi)心，如果我老是把它放在心里的話，這個(gè)‘人言可畏’就會(huì)越來(lái)越傷害自己，所以我應(yīng)該成熟起來(lái)，不要想得太多。”張柏芝說(shuō)的是“周璇”，其實(shí)是她自己。

在上海，張柏芝同時(shí)接拍的是電影《601個(gè)電話》，那是由真實(shí)故事改編的，張國(guó)立導(dǎo)演，周筆暢、胡歌、張柏芝等主演。我問(wèn)張柏芝穿梭在兩個(gè)不同年代的戲中有沒(méi)有什么壓力，她表情很輕松，她說(shuō)“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，穿什么衣服就是什么樣的人，穿旗袍就是30年代的人，穿現(xiàn)代裝就是現(xiàn)代人，沒(méi)有問(wèn)題!”

傳聞中張柏芝有兩個(gè)極不爭(zhēng)氣的“敗家子”弟弟，為了負(fù)擔(dān)沉重的“家累”，張柏芝不得不拼命工作。為此作者求證張柏芝時(shí)，她以“今天是《周璇》宣傳”為由搪塞過(guò)關(guān)，并聲明家人都是她堅(jiān)實(shí)的后盾，勸大家不要輕信外界那些不實(shí)的報(bào)道，“演員就是把戲演好，我是21世紀(jì)的人，我不想把這些不開(kāi)心放在心里。”

Cecilia Cheung Interprets Singer's Life

By Zhao Weiwei

I went to Shanghai to cover Cecilia Cheung while she was portraying Zhou Xuan， a pop songster in the 1930s in the metropolitan Shanghai， in a television play. I was deeply impressed by Cheung's acting.

But for her signature voice， I might not have been able to recognize it was Cecilia Cheung playing the part of Zhou Xuan. In the drama， the heroine had just known she was an adopted child. The blow was more than she could take. She left home. In a red-check blouse wrapping her body， Zhou wept after waking up on a chair in a waiting room and seeing her stepmother's message asking her back. Cheung's interpreting was convincing.

Cheung identifies herself as a workaholic. Cheung was pleased with her first television play job. hooting a television play for 13 hours on end does not exhaust me. In getting one single film shot， I often have to wait for eight hours.?As a matter of fact， the shooting went on so smoothly that she sometimes worked till small hours and often dozed off before her turn was called.

Cheung has been in the showbiz for eight years and she is still herself: never mince words about her likes and dislikes. That helps her understand Zhou Xuan. ossip is a fearful thing. If I ever mind gossips， I could get hurt by them. So I need to grow and mature fast. I don's care too much about gossips.?The heroine's remarks reflect exactly what Cheung thinks about her own situation.

In tabloid gossips， Cheung is said to lord it over her colleagues. I found out that she did not do so. She bought soft drinks one day and distributed them to all the colleagues during a break.

At a press conference， a reporter asked Cecilia Cheung tactfully how she felt about interpreting the innocence of Zhou Xuan at the age of 16， hinting that the actress from Hong Kong might not be the best choice for the young girl in the television play. After all， her first movie had been eight years before. After so many years in the showbiz， she couldn's stay that simple any more， or so implied that reporter.

She replied with a seemingly casual air， he eight years of acting experience can help me identify with any character with ease. Of course， I have done my homework. For example， I誺e read her diary. She was an innocent girl and yearned for an ordinary and trouble-free life. What I share with her most is that both of us are after such a life. And just like her， I am also in the showbiz and many things are beyond my control.?I interviewed her in Shanghai where she was acting in the television play and a film at the same time. I asked how she could shuttle between the two characters so seamlessly. or me， what I wear changes me. If I wear a cheongsam of the 1930s， I am a person in the 1930s. If I wear a modern dress， I am modern. No problem at all.?I had read somewhere about her two ne誩r-do-well brothers. I mentioned this to her. In response， she emphasized her family gave her full support and asked me not to fall for gossips. 襂 must do my job well as an actress. I am a woman of 21st century and will not burden myself with unhappy thoughts.?
