Despite being busy with filming, Andy Lau took time off to support Hong Kongs music industry by attending a music award ceremony. Regarding the current state of the music industry, Andy believes that record companies are too reliant on doing more jobs to get awards. He also believes that HK singer are only concentrating on the native market and are not willing to have a go at foreign markets. Andy then sighed when talking about the phrase 造馬 (cheating) being used to describe award winning singers.
During his interview on radio station 903, Andy talked about his views on the current Hong Kong music industry. He disclosed that in the past, people would use the phrase 實至名歸 (deserving) to describe award winning singers but now people would usually say the award winning singers have 造馬 (cheated). Andy has also been accused of cheating to win Asias Favourite Male Singer Award by netizens. Andy commented, Everyone says cheating but Eason Chan and Leo Ku have not cared about these remarks. But I am quite angered. If someone said that I did not deserve the Gold Music Award I would be hurt.
Regarding a large amount of singers missing at TVBs JSG Music Award Ceremony, Andy believes that singers must think about attending using their conscience. He said, No one is a saint. I would think, if I didnt go and I won an award that would be embarrassing. Andy also pointed out that some singers care about awards too much and that some companies are even concentrating on getting their artists to do more jobs just to get awards. If this continues, Andy believes that award ceremonies would turn into a business. Andy then praised Miriam for sitting the whole night even though she did not win an award.
Kelly Chen, earlier, expressed her unhappiness regarding the results of JSGs music award ceremony and that she is part of the weak group. Andy described Kelly as truthful so such a comment is not unusual. Andy commented, Kelly is working on the mainland market. I am the same, I will not dare fight for Hong Kongs Favourite Male Singer Award. Many singer are only working on the Hong Kong market, they dont want to walk out. (Do you feel that award ceremonies bring bitterness) There will always be someone unhappy. [by dee-lush]
