Radio Interviews: Anson Hu [ Take A Stand At Thirty ]



July 20th, 2012 - Anson Hu received a series of 6 interviews in 6 different radio stations that aired across Mainland, Taiwan, and HK (each around 30 minutes long).

I have listened to all 6 (spent about 2.5 hours), made a summary of the important points mentioned by Anson in each interview, and then combined into a large summary to share with you all!

Translated by ear. Dialogue written in Anson's narration, unless otherwise stated. 


The '9 weibo shots'
I was waiting to take the plane from Zhenzhou back to Beijing. Since there was a delay in the plane, I was so bored, so I decided to do some self portraits. I said I would erase it once the plane takes off. I took 9 shots and I posted it, but after 10 minutes, the plane was ready to take off, so I erased it, but it looks like many fans have already saved a copy of it!


Anson's DJ fan named "duo le si"
DJ tells Anson: This DJ is a super fan of yours. During her show, she would always play your songs, and she would especially personally buy your albums and then send them to her DJ friends in Taiwan and Hong Kong.


Seriously, online dating?
I did register my name for online dating. I am 30 years now, I realized that I haven't gotten anywhere, so I decided to register thinking that I might get some new chances. I want to try it out! It's not true that I never dated before 30, it's just that I haven't found the right one. I wish to find someone who understands me.

Within a few days, I received 2000 messages and I read each one. Most of the messages were wishes, they wished me good luck and wished that I will be able to find my other half. Then some messages were simply notes saying, "I know it's not possible, but it's nice to see you on here, wish you well." Most people aren't the type to stand up and tell me, "Anson, I want to be your other half," or "Can we meet, I am interested in you."

I wanted to take a chance to stand up, there are times when I had sunglasses or covering my face, but I am really serious. However, I think that most people think that I am playing around. I want to tell people that I am serious about looking for another half, I am thirty years old, and I wish for an opportunity to meet new people.


The type of girl Anson looks for...
She must have very kind, very sweet, be obediant, has strong desire for filial piety. Must be the type that will take care of my mother. Someone who loves my strengths, but will accept my weakness. In terms of physical attraction, it has to be the type that I am physically attracted to.


"Take A Stand At Thirty"
You will find that this song is completely different from other songs in my previous albums. I actually wanted to give myself a present with my own efforts. I want to write a song for myself, and I did the whole composition by myself. I wanted to try a different style, and I wanted to put my personal feeling into. I wrote this song purposely for myself, it isn't KTV material, however, if you can sing with song in karaoke, I have to say that your singing ability is likely really impressive. The lyrics in the song reflect my current thinking.


Car accident means major change in life??
I think it has to do with both my age and accident. I started to realize that when I am helpless, any type of love and caring would magify by a few times. I also started to realize that I didn't have someone to take care of me. When I reached 30 years old, I really have a lot of hope and I want to start my own family. That's why I decided to use another way, so I signed up for online dating! I am serious, I am not playing around.


New album coming soon?
I think my new album would be around october, november, and "Take A Stand At Thiry" would be part of it, but I first released it as a single. For my new album, I would say I have will some new styles since I have moved on from the 20s, there will be differences in my expression of music because after all, I am in a different style in live. Before 30, we have always been chasing after our dream, but now, when I have reached 30, I am more clear about what I want in life. Even in the future, I would focus within Mainland China because afterall, it is my homeland.


Music makes Anson happy.
In the end, as of right now, I am still really happy and is very enthusiastic about making music. I am still most happy with making music.


The great director Hu?
For every phase in life, I have a different dream. I am the type of person who is constantly learning, and if I stop, I will feel uncomfortable. I want to try to direct some short films, do my own music videos, and when the time is right, I want to be able to direct my own movie. I enrolled into Beijing Film Academy. I went to New York to study film, so I wanted to come back and study film directing. I feel that having knowledge from both sides would be very interesting.

Wow thanks for your hard work! I know that doing a recap of a (long) video is time consuming, I did that a couple of times.

Hi @ Myra,

Thanks for your comments and thank you for understanding. It's so awesome to have another blog owner on my blog because then you'd understand all the work I put into it, hehehe.
