澳洲拍MV 代价大 钟洁希严重灼伤送院治疗


  

成功冲出海外的大马西洋曲国际歌手钟洁希,八月份推出英语专辑【There You Are】唱碟大卖,反应热烈,首周推出就勇夺台湾两大最具权威金曲榜,即五大金榜“iRadio金曲榜(西洋榜)亚军宝座。在五大金榜” (西洋榜),钟洁希的名次超过多位世界级西洋曲歌手,如:澳洲一姐希雅(Sia),爱莉安娜·格兰德(Ariana Grande),席琳狄翁(Celine Dion)等;成绩仅次予美国一姐女神卡卡(Lady Gaga)。在“iRadio金曲榜” (西洋榜),钟洁希甚至超越了女神卡卡(Lady Gaga)。钟洁希也是唯一进入台湾五大金榜(西洋榜)的大马歌手。她的MV更在短短两个月内获YouTube点阅率突破三百万

There You Are】让钟洁希人气与销量都锐不可当,唱片公司趁胜追击马上为她推出新专辑【BE STRONG】。最新英文专辑【BE STRONG】将在15/12推出。

日前钟洁希为主打歌【BE STRONG】亲自到澳洲兰斯林(Lancelin的沙滩和尖峰石阵沙漠(The Pinnacles Desert, Cervantes, WA) 拍摄MV。在烈日暴晒8小时,还要躺在沙漠上,导致她皮肤严重灼伤,必须送院治疗。

洁希提到在开拍前,有工作人员提醒她要做防晒的工作,但她因太匆忙而忽略了。而其他工作人员都做足了防晒措施。在拍摄时,吹来的风还带点凉意,因此钟洁希也没留意可能晒伤的问题。直至拍摄完毕时,洁希发觉皮肤有点刺痛,一查之下,发觉全身皮肤已被灼伤、红肿、全身发烫;工作人员立即将她送院治疗。医生说「这不只是一般晒伤的程度,这根本就是烫伤了 。」

为了MV 钟洁希勇敢下水,她说「当时风很大,浪卷得很高,站在海水之中被浪打得全身都湿透了,冷到发抖。最惊险的还是有几次差点被大浪捲走。唉!这次是我有史以来拍过最艰辛的MV 体验九死一生的恐惧

此外,导演要求洁希赤脚在沙滩上奔跑。看似非常浪漫的场景却让洁希付上不少的代价。她奔跑在沙滩上时,因着沙滩地面凹凸不平,又要躲避贝壳碎石,多次因被刺伤而重心不稳跌倒,手掌和膝盖多处划伤。更有一次不留神,被沙滩上的碎石和贝壳之类的硬物扎伤脚,痛得飙泪。

事后,洁希在面子书看到网友的留言,要她小心防晒。虽然意外已经发生了·但她很感谢大家对她的关心。由于被灼伤的地方还需要时间修复,所以之前安排好的通告全都,暂时无法与粉丝见面。


P/S由于拍摄地点非常靠近大气层破洞的南极地带,加上夏季该区由于地球的自转而更接近太阳,所以长时间暴晒下,紫外线会对皮肤造成严重的后果,甚至会引发皮肤癌。每年澳洲有近1200人死于皮肤癌。

Jessie Chung Paid High Price During Music Video Filming, Medical Attention Required after Severe Sunburns




International recording artiste Jessie Chung is taking over the international music scene by storm! Released back in August, Jessie's debut album There You Are stormed into two of Taiwan's most authoritative and prestigious music charts, taking a top 2 position in Five Music's International Chart and another one in i Radio's International Chart. Jessie Chung ranked above many international artists on Five Music's International Chart, including Sia, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion, etc., and placed right next to Lady Gaga. On i Radio's International Chart, Jessie Chung even surpassed Lady Gaga. She is the only Malaysian singer to enter Taiwan's Five Music's International Chart, and to add frosting on the cake—the total music video views on YouTube for Jessie's latest album surpassed 3 million within two months.

There You Are boosted Jessie Chung’s popularity and pushed her sales to unprecedented heights. Seeing potential in her, Jessie’s record label decided to wrap up the production of Be Strong and release it in advance. Be Strong is set to be released on December 15th.

A few days earlier, Jessie Chung journeyed to the shores of Lancelin and the Pinnacles Desert in Cervantes, WA to get her “Be Strong” music video filmed. In the desert sparsely populated by pinnacles—weathered pillars of limestone—Jessie stood under the scorching sun for more than eight hours and even stretched out her body on the sand. At the end of the session, her skin was severely sunburned, and she had to be sent to the hospital to seek medical attention.


Jessie mentioned that before shooting, a staff member reminded her to put on sunscreen and carry out other measures to get adequate protection from the sun. However, she didn’t take any action upon hearing the advice since she was in a rush. She found out afterwards that all personnel had taken some form of protective measure. During filming, the possibility of getting sunburned never occurred to Jessie at all, since a deceptive, chilly breeze blew from all sides. Not until the filming completed did Jessie realize that there was a tingling sensation in her skin. While inspecting, she realized that her skin had started to redden, peel, and swell as a burning sensation erupted throughout her whole body. The staff immediately sent her to the hospital for treatment, and the doctors who treated her told her that her sunburns were dangerously severe, and that it would take a while to heal.

In another scene, Jessie Chung had to brave the waters. “The wind was fierce and unforgiving, and the towering wall of waves rolled in constantly. Standing in the water and getting beaten by the waves soaked me down to the skin. I was so cold my whole body shivered uncontrollably. On a few occasions, I barely got swept away by high waves. Sigh! I thought I’d taken a toil while filming the previous music videos, but this one blew all of them out of the water. I endured many hardships this time, I really feared for my life!”

The director also asked Jessie to run barefoot on the shore. However, the beach’s surface was uneven and hidden with sharp rock fragments and seashells, and Jessie paid the price for the romantic scene. While running on the beach, her feet was slashed by razor-sharp fragments in the sand multiple times, causing her to lose her balance and fall. Her palm and knees were also scratched, and the unbearable pain forced tears out of her eyes.

Afterwards, Jessie saw a few messages left by fans on Facebook, telling her to be careful while staying under the sun. Although the accident had already taken place, she was nevertheless grateful to everyone’s concern for her. Since her sunburned areas will need some time to recover, her schedule would have to be delayed, and she would not be able to meet her fans temporarily.


P.S. December marks the beginning of summer in Australia, which means that the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. “Be Strong” was filmed near the Antarctic area, which has an immense ozone hole above it. Long term exposure to UV radiation without a layer of ozone protection will result in serious consequences, and may even lead to skin cancer. Every year, around 1,200 people die from skin cancer in Australia.

There You Are Achievement Celebration, Jessie Chung Receives Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry


After wrapping up her radio interviews and launching show in Taiwan, Jessie Chung returned to Malaysia to attend the achievement celebration organized by her record label. Mr. Darren Choy, Managing Director of Warner Music Group Malaysia & Singapore and Chairman of the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia and Mr. Sein Way Tan, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia representative, presented Jessie with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry.

What Jessie Chung has achieved with her album There You Are is nothing short of miraculous, she has done the impossible, for a Malaysian artist at least. Her new album has recently shot right up to the most influential and authoritative chart in the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums. Five Music’s Top 5 Chart is the leading Taiwanese music chart and the only chart in Taiwan solely based on album sales. Jessie is confirmed to be the first Malaysian singer to squeeze into this prestigious chart, overtaking Australian artist Sia, who is currently at third place, and placing right next to Lady Gaga, who is barely ahead by two points. Indeed, her album has placed among the works of elite international stars, and this is just the beginning. As the first Malaysian artist placing in Taiwan’s international chart’s top five, Jessie Chung is no doubt Malaysia’s pride and glory!

There You Are has so far sold more than 10,000 copies, and that is already an amazing feat in its own right. To encourage Jessie to soldier on and put on her best fight in next year’s tight schedule, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia and Warner Music Malaysia honoured her with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry, ensuring that Jessie’s There You Are will soar on to greater heights!

Managing Director of Warner Music Malaysia, Mr. Choy, expressed that Jessie Chung has been doing an incredible job in the music industry, and her accomplishments so far had been universally recognized. Surprisingly, in less than two months, the music videos for Jessie’s singles “There You Are” and “Drive My Heart” both surpassed a million views on YouTube. As for her third single “Someplace Honest”, it reached 800,000 views in merely a little more than a month. At the currently rate, its view count should be able to shatter the million mark sometime next week, the results will surely be even more surprising and awe-inspiring!


In his speech, Mr. Choy also stated that entering into the international English-speaking music scene is a great challenge per se. Many artists, when faced with adversity, choose to back off and give up, but Jessie is different. She has valiantly overcome so many obstacles, and has successfully become the first Chinese Malaysian to enter into the top three positions of an international English chart.

Unfortunately, Gary, the CEO of Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia couldn’t make it to the achievement celebration. To congratulate Jessie on her achievements and efforts so far this year, he recorded a video for everyone at the celebration to watch. In the video, he revealed that Jessie will be flying to South Africa to promote more of her work in February next year, then fly to Europe and North America for further development.

Jessie Chung expressed that she was astonished and touched upon receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry. Though it’s not an Oscar, it represented her Australian record label and Warner Music Malaysia’s deep love and approval for her, and that means a lot to her. In a self-depreciating joke, she stated that she has been very uncomfortable with her blonde, side swept fringes, and wanted to change her style in the next album. However, her Australian manager insisted for her to keep her blonde hair, since the Taiwanese media is very fond of her golden style. Jessie could do nothing but keep the style at his bidding.

Besides celebrating the astonishing results Jessie and her brand new album has attained, the company also took the chance to appreciate Jessie’s efforts and accomplishments this year. In early 2016, Jessie Chung’s Exquisite Chinese Orchestra Concert had sold out all ten performances in West and East Malaysia and was a hit among the show biz. Her recent stage production Moonlight was also well received by public, and it also had sold out all ten performances around the country. At the same time, a series of campaigns for Jessie in Malaysia and Taiwan were all roaring successes, and launching shows nationwide and abroad, including locations such as Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Penang, and Taipei, Taiwan, were all completed without a hitch. The events received widespread enthusiasm from fans of all places, crowding up the venues on every occasion.



As for future plans, Jessie Chung stated that her record label has arranged for her eighteen launching shows nationwide, and she will be going to South Africa in February to get her work promoted. Also in April next year, she is set to open two solo concerts, and audiences are estimated to amount over a few thousand. Jessie’s schedule is currently full at the moment, she has to rehearse for her new stage play, Music Box, and prepare for the production of her next album; as a result, her record label has decided to push back the plans for her in China.

As for her next album, Jessie has revealed that her Australian director is determined to capture scenes of her standing on top of a light house in her new music video. At this time, she has already recorded three new songs, and she will travel back to Australia to continue recording and filming her new music video. Her next album is set to be released in January next year. During the celebration, the organizers brought the attendees a surprise when they premiered the music video of “Forever Young”, a single from her next album, causing a wave of excitement and shrieks among the crowd!

Finally, the organizer also gave away an iPhone7, Huawei Honor 8, and a Burberry diamond watch to the lucky winners of the music video giveaway contests of Drive My Heart and Someplace Honest. Jessie Chung International Fan Club members also took the opportunity to give Jessie their presents to congratulate her.

“想要进军国际英文乐坛,这是一件很挑战的事。我见过很多艺人在面对困难时,都会选择退却放弃。但是,洁希却勇敢地战胜了种种困难,成为了第一个闯入国际西洋歌曲排行榜三强的大马华裔歌手。”
