芸芸年輕表演者中，我獨愛看Jackson Wang（王嘉爾）。當今華語娛樂圈中，能真正稱得上「國際巨星」的年輕偶像，只有他。 這位香港出生的表演者，在海外訪問中，展現出一種「真我」風采–英文流利如母語，對答機智從容，談音樂理念、文化碰撞乃至個人價值觀，皆渾灑自如，毫無滯礙。近排他回港一陣子，接受多間本地媒體訪問，無偶包（偶像包袱）、不扮嘢、坦蕩蕩，甚至承認自己有醫美，率真快人快語，是我喜歡的類型。 偶包，在當今藝能界幾是標準配備。然而，在Jackson身上，卻沒有這種刻意經營的距離感。即使已達「國際範」成就，成為首位華人獨唱歌手登上Coachella音樂節主舞台、社媒追隨者以千萬計，受訪談起香港，最念念不忘的，竟是沙田新城市廣場和好運中心；還說當年學校舞會，以$399在旺角潮流特區買下一整套西裝……能毫不猶豫地道出「地標」，說明其內心深處，依舊與這片土地的尋常脈動緊緊相連。 許多藝人一旦躍升國際，急於擁抱一套「高級」敘事。Jackson卻反其道而行，在中外訪問中，他常坦蕩談及作為運動員（前劍擊代表）轉型藝人的艱辛，談在香港與國際間尋找身份定位的掙扎，甚至其低潮和抑鬱症。這種自然的真實，恰恰打破東西方對亞洲偶像「含蓄拘謹」的刻板印象。 尤其難得的是，他的語言與文化切換，並非「表演」，而是融於骨血的靈活流動。面對西方媒體，他以流利英語談中國文化；回到華語語境，又能用廣東話細數兒時趣事。這種自如，建基於他自身「文化混雜性」的自信，不必割裂任何一部分的自我去迎合某個市場。 Jackson示範出所謂「國際化」並非褪去本土色彩，而是帶着自身文化的根，坦然而自信地走向世界。從沙田和馬鞍山（兒時居所）到世界舞台，他走了一條很遠的路，但心裏那張地圖，起點與座標始終清晰。這種沒有偶包的真實和坦然，比任何光芒都更具力量。 Source link
