Show Lo – Mom is the Source of Happiness03/04/2011
People say that a filial child won’t turn bad. Even if this isn’t 100% true, it’s credibility is at least 98% or 99%.
Show “Xiao Zhu (Little Pig)” Lo is one of the male celebrities in Taiwan who is most renowned for his filial piety towards his mother, and another that can be mentioned is his good friend Jay Chou. The two of them similarly speak of their respective mothers often, no matter which performances or dining opportunities, they’ll have their mothers by their sides. Even in getting a girlfriend, they want their mothers “nod of approval,” before getting further into their boy-girlfriend relationship.
In chatting with Show about his mother, he was 100% cheerful and happy from the bottom of his heart. In speaking of work, relationships, life......he was more solemn, with a more serious expression on his face, carefully answering questions. But talking about “Mama Pig” he completely let down his guard, speaking freely, talking and laughing, which let’s those around deeply sense just how fun the relationship and interactions are between the mother and son!
Someone that loves his mom more than himself definitely won’t do anything to upset his mother. So in these years, whether it’s the gossip, scandals, or fabricated rumors, he wasn’t easily bogged down by them. He often times makes a sharp turn with these predicaments, turning obstacles into support, letting himself face problems without getting defeated. Making the headlines on entertainment papers, and “earning” lots of exposure, he then smoothly and easily passes through yet another obstacle.
Previously, Show was slandered by rumors spreading over the web, fabricating that he was infected with an STD. Unable to bear with the false accusation, Show went to the doctors to prove that he was innocent. After a little while of turbulence, the rumor then died and diminished. And with his humor, at the year-end party of his company last year, he didn’t forget to poke fun of himself to entertain others, saying that the doctor that spread the rumor was probably from Shan Dong, so he had a Shan Dong accent, he clearly said, “Show is talented(Cai Hua)” but was misheard as “Show has Cai Hua (STD),” when he said this, everyone burst into laughter.
Show had once said, a celebrity/artist won’t be liked by everyone. As for those that often make up bad things to attack him with, or those that patronize him, he said,
“Sorry, you guys weren’t able to obtain the image you had pictured to see. I’m still healthily standing here before you guys, still working in this field. As for those that have attacked me before, it’s like I’m absorbing all your energy, I will become stronger and stronger than you!”Feels apologetic and guilty towards Malaysian fans.Since the release of his first solo album “Show Time,” Show popularity had been growing until present day, but what puzzles us is, he has never promoted or held any concerts in Malaysia. Having wanted to go to Malaysia for many years, he could only “see” but not “taste.” But his years of hard work didn’t go to waste, finally getting a chance this year to hold his concert in Malaysia this year.
Show said, “I’m always apologetic to Malaysian fans, having never held any big events there. They’d always have to go to Singapore or Taiwan to see me. Whether or not I’d be able to break into any sort of market, I really don’t think about it, I just feel apologetic and guilty. Malaysian fans would always ask why I don’t hold concerts there, but it’s not something I can decide. If no one asked for me, how could I come?”
Stressful work, Stern-Faced with People AroundIn the entertainment circle, Show has many identities in singing, dancing, filming, hosting, endorsing, and also managing his own clothing line. No matter how far away it is, he has to travel the world for his concert tours. With a workload like this, even Iron Man wouldn’t be able to stand it, much less an average person! Busy with all his work, does Show ever think that he’ll collapse from being to tired one day?
Even though he looked tired, Show says that he’s not the least bit tired, admitting that he likes feeling “tired,” “I’m really happy to have all this work given to me, and I enjoy spending every day at work.” Where do you release pressure from work? “Sleeping is the best method, because when a person is sleeping, you won’t have to think about things, and you can face it after you wake up. When there’s pressure, I’d be quiet and calmly think about the problem, but my face will be really stern!”
Do you get angry at those around you? “Yeah! When I’m mad, if someone touches on something that I’m not happy about, I will get angry (Are the closest people around you the ones that suffer?) Mmhmm, she got it the most (pointing at Xiao Shuang).” Often getting innocently blamed, Xiao Shuang said, “Never step onto his land mines.”
The real dance king is Michael JacksonShow is dubbed “Asia’s Dance King”; Hong Kong also has a dance king Aaron Kwok; Korean Dance King Rain. We asked Show, what is something that these three have in common? He said,
“Nothing, I believe that in our hearts the only true dance king is Michael Jackson.”He expressed, there are lots of dancing singers that have their own styles, everyone performs differently,
“Whatever dance king titles, they were given by the media, the most important thing is whether or not the audience was able to enjoy your performance. When an audience can enjoy your dance, and can feel it, then I’ll be very satisfied. If you’re only going to rely on a title that the media gave you, but not the acknowledgment of everyone, then lots of people would think ‘Does he fit that title?’”Show said that some people dance really well, but when the audience watches, they don’t enjoy it at all, and actually feels tired and strained, so that’s not successful. We asked him, when dancing, where does your biggest enjoyment come from? He proudly said, “What I enjoy most right now, is that after I sing fast songs, I’m not out of breath at all. Before I’d catch a few breaths, but now I can sing fast songs, and go into a slow song immediately after.”
Filming Drama, Leaving ImpressionsLast year, Show missed the “Golden Bell” by a hair, watching his female co-star taking the award for best actress. When asked if he was planning on filming another drama this year in August/September to give all his efforts in a fight for “King of drama?”
“
I’ve never done things with winning awards as a goal. Rather than getting an award, filming a drama that people like is more important. Some things that win awards, people may not have necessarily seen them. So why not just pick to film something that everyone can like, isn’t that better? Winning or not winning an award doesn’t matter, when I get nominated, even I’m shocked, I’d say, ‘Oh! I got nominated? How did the judges notice my work?’ I’ve never even thought about getting nominated before, so being able to get nominated makes me really happy already.”
Show said, frankly, what Golden Melody, or what Golden Bell? It gets forgotten by everyone easily. If people don’t mention it, people wouldn’t go and deliberately remember, but instead, when they see a good drama or hear a good song, people will still remember who starred in it or who sang it.
Mom’s Health is More Important Than AnythingComing into the new year, Show’s wish isn’t to get a girlfriend, he currently doesn’t have that plan, his career takes up most of his time, so busy that he can barely breathe. He said that if got a girlfriend, he wouldn’t have time to take care of their relationship, instead of just putting a girlfriend aside, why not just get one in the first place, instead of getting yourself misunderstood or misunderstanding others.
“My biggest wish is that Mom will be healthy, happily doing things she wants to do. She wants to go out to see more places, gather with friends, happy, fortunate, and laughter.”
With his mom as his center, Show states that even if he had any sort of his own wish and it was fulfilled, but if his most beloved family members’ health condition wasn’t good, he wouldn’t be able to be happy anyway. “
If Mom is healthy, then whatever I do, I’ll feel happy/fortunate, because I’ll already be satisfied and cherish everything I have.”
There’s about 2 more months until Mother’s Day, when asked if Show always gave presents in past years, accompanied mom to dinner? Will this year be the same? Unexpectedly, Show gave a serious look and said, “On Mother’s Day, she should give me a present! Because if she didn’t have me, how could she be a mother? She has to say thank you to me!” After he said that, Show broke into roaring laughter and turned around to his manager Xiao Shuang and said, “That’s pretty cool!”
If mom gave a present, what would Show express? He continued to joke, “I’ll say you’re welcome, because she can be a filial Mom, Hahaha!”
Like many children, in his childhood, Show was very mischievous, he said, “Lots of wounds on my body were from my mom’s beating, YEAH RIGHT! HAHAHA! Actually when I was little, I often did a lot of bad things, and mom would take me to other people’s houses to apologize, it was after joining this business (showbiz), that I started to be more sensible/understanding. But Mom had once said, if you’re too obedient/good, she actually wouldn’t like that, because then there’s no interaction. If a child does something wrong, mom will get angry, scold, and beat, this way there will be interaction, if they’re too good/obedient, she’d actually be worried.”
The interaction between you and your mom is really good then? “Yeah! Everything, Happy, Angry, Sad, Cheery, We have it all!”

【2011/03/04 星洲日報】羅志祥‧媽是快樂泉源
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]人家說孝順的孩子不會變壞，這句話就算沒100%準確，都會有高達98、99%的可信度。
羅志祥（小豬）是台灣演藝圈中出了名孝順媽媽的男藝人，另一個可跟他齊名列“孝順仔”榜首的是好友周傑倫。兩人同樣是常把媽媽掛嘴邊，不管到哪裡表演或是用膳都會把媽媽帶在身邊，連交女友也要媽媽“點頭批准”才會進階到更親密的男女朋友關係。
跟小豬聊起媽媽，他是百分百發自內心的愉悅和快樂。聊工作、聊感情、聊生活……他倒是一本正經、神情嚴肅、小心翼翼地回答著問題，但一談到“豬媽”時他完全卸下心防、暢所欲言、邊講邊笑的模樣，能夠讓旁人深深感受到他們母子間的相處和互動是多麼地有趣！
一個愛媽媽甚於一切的人，必然不會做出令媽媽傷心的事，所以這些年來，圍繞在小豬身邊的八卦緋聞、醜聞、不實傳聞都好，並沒有輕易把他擊倒，他往往有本事讓逆境來個急轉彎，化阻力為助力，讓自己面對難題卻不被打垮，登上娛樂頭條數天“賺”盡曝光率後，輕輕鬆鬆又過一關。
前陣子，小豬被網絡流言中傷，指他疑患上性病染菜花，不堪被誣賴的他，到醫生處驗明正身以示清白，擾攘了一陣子之後，謠言也就不了了之，難得頗有幽默感的他，去年在公司尾牙上不忘自嘲娛人，笑稱爆料醫生可能是山東人，講話有山東腔，明明講“小豬有才華”卻被聽成“小豬有菜花”，此言一出，讓全場笑翻天。
小豬曾經說過，一個藝人不會都是被所有人喜歡的。對於那些常自編醜聞來攻擊他，或是看不起他的人，他斬釘截鐵說：“對不起，你們沒有達到預期想看到的畫面，我還是一樣很健康地站在你們面前，還在這行業立足，對於曾經攻擊過我的人，我就像在吸收你們的能量，會比你們越來越強！”
對大馬粉絲懷抱歉和內疚感
小豬自2003年推出首張個人專輯《Show Time》後，就一直走紅至今，但令人不解的是，他始終沒來馬宣傳唱片或辦任何簽唱會。讓多年前就一直想來馬的他，對大馬這塊市場只有“看”得到卻“吃”不到的份。唯小豬多年的努力，終究沒有白費，他今年如願有機會來馬辦演唱會。
小豬說：“我一直都對馬來西亞的粉絲感到抱歉，之前從沒來過這裡辦任何大型活動，都是他們到新加坡、台灣找我，對於吃不吃甚麼市場的，我完全沒有想法，只是一直感到很抱歉和內疚的心態，大馬粉絲每次都說為甚麼不來開演唱會，但那不是我能決定的事，沒人找我，我怎麼來呀？”
工作有壓力會對身邊人擺臭臉
小豬在演藝圈擁有多重身份，既唱歌、跳舞、拍戲、主持，代言商品，又身兼潮牌服飾店老闆等，而一辦起演唱會來，則不管距離多遙遠，還要周游列國巡迴開唱，這樣的工作量，別說普通人，連鐵人都會吃不消啊！小豬在忙工作之餘，會不會擔心有累垮的一天呢？
雖然臉帶倦容，但卻聲稱自己一點都不累的小豬，坦言很喜歡“累”的感覺，“我很開心這些工作的來臨，也非常享受在工作中度過每一天。”面對工作壓力如何釋放？“睡覺是最好的方法，因為一個人在睡覺時不會去思考或想甚麼，睡醒起來後再去面對，而有壓力時我會安靜、冷靜地去想問題，不過臉會很臭！”
會對身邊人發脾氣？“會呀！在生氣時，如果某人觸碰到我一個不高興的點的話，我就會大發脾氣（遭殃的會是身邊最親的人？），嗯，她中招最多（指身邊助理小霜）。”常無辜受害的小霜說：“千萬不能踩中他的地雷。”
真正的舞王是麥可積遜
小豬被封“亞洲舞王”；香港也有個舞王郭富城；韓國舞王則是Rain，問小豬自覺3人有甚麼共同點？他說：“沒有，相信我們心目中真正的舞王只有麥可積遜。”
他坦言，其實很多會跳舞的歌手都有自己的味道，大家的表演方式都不太一樣，“甚麼舞王都是媒體給的名稱，最重要是觀眾看表演時有沒有很享受，當觀眾說看你跳舞很享受、有震撼到，那我會覺得很滿足，如果單靠媒體給封號，卻得不到大家認同，這樣很多人會想‘他適合叫這名稱嗎？’。”
小豬說，有些人跳舞很厲害，但觀眾看表演時卻一點都不享受，反而讓人覺得很累、很吃力的樣子，那就是不成功的。問他在跳舞方面此刻最大的享受來自於甚麼？他一臉驕傲地說：“我現在最享受的是，唱完快歌之後再唱慢歌完全不會喘氣，以前還會喘一口氣，現在可以唱完快歌就直接跳去唱慢歌。”
拍好戲留印象
小豬去年失意於《金鐘獎》，眼看同劇女主角楊丞琳風光拿“視后”，問今年8、9月計劃拍新劇的他，可會卯足全力再爭“視帝”榮銜？
“我從來不會以甚麼獎項作為目標，拿金鐘獎還不如拍一部讓觀眾喜愛的作品來得重要，有些得獎的東西觀眾不見得都看過，那我不如選擇一個大家愛看的作品來拍更好？得不得獎都無所謂了，其實很多入圍連我自己都嚇一跳，我會說說‘啊！有入圍？評審怎麼會注意到我的作品？’以前從來沒想過有機會入圍金鐘，能被肯定已經很開心了。”
小豬坦言，甚麼金曲獎、金鐘獎，很快就會被大家忘記，如果人家不提也不會特別去記得，反而講起一部好看的戲或一首好聽的歌，大家還會記得是甚麼人演和唱的。
媽媽身體健康比一切都來得重要
踏入新的一年，小豬稱願望不是交女友，他亦暫時沒這打算，工作佔據大部份時間、忙得透不過氣來的他，自言若交女友也沒時間好好經營感情，把女朋友掠在一邊的話，那還不如不要談戀愛，以免誤人誤己。
“我最大的願望是媽媽身體健康，開心去做她想做的事情。她想去很多地方玩，跟朋友聚在一起，開心、幸福、歡笑這樣。”
一切以媽媽為重的小豬坦言，就算自己有甚麼願望都好，如果今天達成了，但最愛的家人身體不健康，他也一樣開心不起來。“如果媽媽身體健康，不管做甚麼事情我都會覺得幸福，因為我已經知足和珍惜擁有的一切。”
還有兩個多月就要迎來母親節，問小豬往年是否都會送禮物、陪媽媽吃頓飯？今年也不例外？不料小豬一臉正色說：“母親節她會送我禮物吧！因為她沒有我怎麼當媽媽？她要跟我說謝謝！”說罷小豬哈哈哈大笑，轉頭跟助理小霜說：“蠻屌的耶！”
媽媽送禮物問小豬會有甚麼表示？他繼續無厘頭說：“我會跟她說不客氣，因為她能當孝順的媽媽，哈哈哈！”
跟許多小孩一樣，小豬小時候一樣佻皮搗蛋，他說：“我身上很多傷都是媽媽打的，屁啊！哈哈哈！其實我小時候常會做很多壞事情，媽媽會帶著我去跟別人家道歉，是進入這一行之後，才開始比較懂事。不過媽媽有說過，太乖她反而不喜歡，因為沒有甚麼互動，如果小孩做錯一些事，媽媽會生氣、會罵、會打，這樣彼此才會有互動，很乖她反而會擔心。”
你跟媽媽之間的互動很好咯？“吶，都有，喜怒哀樂統統都有！”
[小豬與周董都是出了名的孝順兒，他說每個人對父母孝順的方式不一樣，亦是子女應該做的事情，不要等到親人不在時才來哭說沒好好盡孝道.]
