「幸福的瞬間」,拍攝MTV

Ambrose 許紹洋MTV處女秀 拈花惹草 只落的灰頭土臉 深情高唱“幸福的瞬間” 只為心儀的導演 精心裝扮全無用武之地
12/2001

新人許紹洋Ambrose為了替電視劇“薰衣草”主題曲「幸福的瞬間」,拍攝MTV,化身一名園藝工人,甘願忍受蚊蟲的侵襲,低溫的凌虐,在花圃中以白馬王子之姿與女主角大玩兩小無猜的浪漫戲碼,入戲程度和敬業精神令在場工作人員稱許。

雖然已有過演戲的經驗,不過初次拍攝MTV最困難的倒不是與不熟的女主角來場親熱戲,困難處竟是對嘴!Ambrose趁拍片空檔跟工作人員說﹕「原來拍MTV對嘴原來是這麼難ㄡ!」從小在國外對中文成語知道不多的他沒想到竟脫口而出﹕「我這才明白成語“牛頭不對馬嘴”原來是指這個意思!」當場令所有在場的工作人員覺得哭笑不得。

這次拍攝MTV的場景選在台大園藝系的花圃拍攝。穿梭在溫室和花圃中與女主角談情說愛。花房裡蚊蟲多如繁星,一天下來許紹洋臉上身上多是被蚊蟲叮咬的戰利品—滿頭包,身旁的工作人員各個人手一瓶防蚊液猛往身上灑,敬業的他卻不以為意的忍受搔癢,專注的完成每個拍攝環節。即使是不能以俊帥的模樣上鏡,臉上身上佈滿灰塵和泥土,Ambrose也欣然接受,聽從導演一切安排。因為這支MTV讓Ambrose美夢成真,得以與心中大導合作。

為了拍攝「幸福的瞬間」MTV,魔岩唱片公司特地請來Ambrose最喜歡的導演黃中平為其掌鏡。Ambrose得知消息後興奮不已,拍片前好幾個晚上都睡不著覺,心裡既是緊張又雀躍。
尚未來到台灣發片前,Ambrose早已耳聞黃中平大名。與朋友上KTV尬歌時,更是必點黃中平執導過的MTV,假裝是自己的MTV大過歌手癮。當時一心想往唱片界發展的他,最大的心願就是希望有朝一日能和黃中平合作。沒想到果然美夢成真圓了Ambrose的心願。
拍攝過程,Ambrose認真且專注,敬業的工作態度讓導演大為欣賞,一句讚美的話就讓Ambrose心花怒放,笑的合不攏嘴。

一向很會打裡自己造型的Ambrose,所有拍戲的戲服都由自己搭配。求好心切的他總是會準備多套衣服以備不時之需。為了拍MTV凌晨4點Ambrose就得出門前往現場化妝,當工作人員前往當他住處時,遠遠就看就一個暗暗人影拎著大包小包在巷口徘徊,看到來車接近便急忙往前衝。
由於當時天未亮,嚇的經紀人以為是流浪漢,細看原來是Ambrose,腳邊所有包包原來是為了拍MTV之用,當天拍電視劇拍到凌晨一點才收工,Ambrose不惜犧牲睡眠打裡自己造型,讓工作人員折服。不過更慘的是,當天導演決定就讓他一套花匠連身工作服加上黑膠雨鞋貫徹全片,一連穿著近10個小時不用換裝。拍到最後導演一聲收工,Ambrose才知道根本沒耍帥的機會,連衣服都白扛了,那副“想變帥又不敢開口說”的模樣笑壞了所有工作人員,只得默默地把衣服再扛回去。

這支“幸福的瞬間”MTV,畫面唯美浪漫,內容敘述許紹洋浪跡天涯多年回國來尋回往日戀情的回憶。夾雜黑白和彩色畫面,以黑白畫面比喻男主角目前心無所依的心境,彩色則代表對逝去戀情的追憶,內容堪稱是電視劇“薰衣草”的續篇,到底最後MTV男女主角結局是終成眷屬還是相隔兩地,導演在MTV 裡還特地留伏筆,不肯透漏太多情節。工作人員對MTV的結局也跟猜半天,連Ambrose也跟著賣關子神秘兮兮地說:「想知道MTV結局看電視劇“薰衣草”就知有沒有囉!」

MTV Debut of Ambrose: Happy, Romantic, yet Dirty 12/2001

Ambrose Hui, a newcomer singer in Taiwan, played as a gardener in the MTV The Instant of Happiness for the TV series Lavender.


Under the raid of mosquitoes and chilly cold weather, he made a romantic story with the female lead in the MTV, winning him high acclaim from all the crew and staffs.

The most challenging part, however, was not the kiss scene with an actress he was not acquainted with.
It turned out to be matching mouth without actual singing. During the rest time Ambrose said to the staffs, “I never know it is so difficult!” Not knowing much about Chinese proverbs, he then added, “But now I know what you mean by A Cow’s Head Cannot Match A Horse’s Mouth in Chinese!” Man…nearly all the staffs fainted on hearing his interpretation.

The MTV was shot in the greenhouse of the Department of Gardening, National Taiwan University.
Ambrose had a romance in the greenhouse.
It was just that there were mosquitoes everywhere.
After one day’s hard work, Ambrose was badly bitten all over his face and body.
Unlike other staffs, who used balm to prevent insect bites, Ambrose concentrated absolutely on every detail of the making regardless of the itching and discomfort.

He fully obeyed the director’s instruction, even though he may not look handsome and tidy with all the dust and dirt.
It has been his dream to collaborate with the director of this MTV, the one who he had been admiring for a long time.

Specially invited by Magicstone Record Co. for shooting the MTV of The Instant of Happiness, Chung-Ping Huang was the director that Ambrose admired most.
He was even too excited to sleep for this collaboration, being anticipating yet nervous.
Before coming to Taiwan as a singer, Ambrose had known Huang’s name well.
He always sang Huang’s MV then, and pretended himself as the protagonist in it.
To collaborate with Huang was one of Ambrose’s dreams, and now this dream came true.
During the shooting, Huang gave Ambrose high acclaim for his attention and dedication, making him more than pleased.

Ambrose was good at dressing himself, including all that needed in the dramas.
For perfection he always prepared more than necessary for extra requirements.
To shoot this MTV, Ambrose had to get up at 4 AM and go for styling at the scene.
According to the staffs, they saw a man carrying heavy luggage near the lane where Ambrose lived, rushing to every car passing by.
They were afraid that was some homeless, when it was still dark.

However, it turned out to be Ambrose, with all the dresses he prepared for this MTV.
In fact, he sacrificed his sleep after finishing shooting the drama at 1 AM.
Unfortunately, director Huang told him to put on gardening gear and rubber boots without changing for nearly 10 hours.

Finally there was no chance for him to be cool and gorgeous. Ambrose had no choice but carrying all luggage home, and it was funny for the staffs to see his embarrassment.
The MTV of The Instant of Happiness was beautiful and romantic, depicting Ambrose searching for his love after years overseas.

There were both colored and gray scales: the latter for Ambrose’s solitude, and the former for his passing story.
It could be viewed as extension of Lavender. Not telling the details, the director made it ambiguous whether there was a happy ending or not. Even the staffs could not make a final conclusion.

As for Ambrose, he tried to make it a charade: “Just go and see Lavender, and you will get the answer.”
