洪乙心最近消息连连，才刚看到报道指她将离开新传媒，不一会儿又看到她推出首张个人EP的报道，似乎打算退出电视圈，转战歌坛。另外，还有报道说她收到黑函，情绪低落。消息一波波接踵而来，
乙心顿时成了话题女王！但这些报道的准确度到底有多少？记者前往【海的儿子】记者会探个究竟！
澄清1－
乙心：我还是新传媒艺人！
乙心在【刑警2人组】中饰演心地善良的龙丽雯，表现大获好评，成功虏获观众朋友们的心。接下来推出的【海的儿子】，
乙心又将首次演反派。眼见出道7年的
乙心终于熬出头来，开始在影坛大展鸿图时，却有传言指她要离开新传媒…
乙心：没有…我还是新传媒艺人！我只是换了另一种合约，是委托管理的形式(service contract)，比较有灵活性，可以自我管理，但新传媒还是我的大老板啦！
喔…原来如此… （结果我事先准备好的一堆相关问题都派不上用场，真是白忙一场！）谈谈你在【海的儿子】中，第一次演反派的感受？
乙心：开始接到角色时很惊讶啊！第一次有人〔王尤红监制〕敢敢给我反派角色演！刚开始会担心脸部表情是不是要有很大的不同。后来还是决定不要想太多，就由心而发，凭直觉揣摩角色，出来的效果还蛮不错的！
最难演的部分？
乙心：嗯…耍狠的部分还OK，因为我的眼睛还算OK大（记者想：太谦虚了吧！明明就很～大！），所以随便瞪一下就蛮锐利了。倒是这个角色很多哭戏，尤其是和母亲的对手戏，心情一直很沉重、紧绷。再加上当时在筹备专辑，刚好可以把现实生活中的压力通过角色抒发出来！哈哈！而且这个角色的台词很多，因为坏人有很多planning（计划）嘛…所以无论哪一场戏，只要有我的戏份，其他人就轻松咯！
回马来西亚拍戏的感觉如何？
乙心：这是我第一次回到马来西亚工作，感觉很特别！而且大家（指其他演员）的感情都很好，很爱开玩笑、很有默契！每天收工后就跑到工作人员的房间去，又吃零食、又喝汽水，有些人还喝啤酒呢！（记者追问：谁？行李箱很大那个吗？）对啊！呵呵！反正这是我第一次拍完戏还和剧组聚在一起，可以顺便培养默契！
澄清2－
乙心：我还是会接戏！
最近，
乙心在新马两地发行了她的首张EP《苹果脸色》，首播主打《脸色》在吉隆坡最有权威的〖新新龙虎榜〗荣登了冠军宝座！马来西亚发行的首批（3000张左右）还卖到断货！一起步就交出如此亮眼的成绩，
乙心是否打算退出影坛，转战歌坛？
乙心：哈哈！没有啦…我还是会接戏，只是接戏前可能要谈仔细一点，因为接下来要专心宣传专辑。
为什么第一炮会选择马来西亚？（《苹果脸色》于7月7日在马来西亚发行，28日在新加坡发行）
乙心：因为那里的人对我演员的身份印象比较模糊，不像在新加坡。我希望大家把我视为歌手，不要把我当演员看待，认为我只是玩票性质，利用演戏累积而来的知名度出唱片。再说，马来西亚比较方便，安排档期比较容易。如果是台湾或其它地方，我可能无法抽出那么多时间作宣传。
为什么会等到现在才出唱片？难道最近才遇到伯乐？
乙心：其实之前就认识不少音乐人了。他们以前也问过我要不要出唱片，可是当时我忙着在国外拍戏，像是到中国拍的【醉无敌】，所以抽不出时间。现在就比较方便了，因为工作范围都在新加坡。
出专辑最辛苦的部分？
乙心：当然是录音咯！以前唱卡拉OK的时候会不自觉地模仿原唱者的唱法，现在却要有自己的风格。像录的第一首歌《那封情书》，是6首当中录得最久的，因为抓不到对的feel（感觉）。结果一直猛录，站了8到10多个小时！（记者说：可以坐嘛…）我习惯站着唱，而且身边一定要有温蜜糖，这样才有安全感！
有没有机会出完整的专辑？
乙心：那要看卖得好不好咯！（记者答：很好了啦！）（
乙心笑得合不拢嘴）本来是抱着豁出去的心态，以为会成为一片歌手。现在有望出完整的专辑，当然非常开心！（记者问：开始筹备了吗？）还没勒！现在先集中宣传这张EP，希望在新加坡可以得到大家的肯定。
想和哪位音乐人合作？
乙心：可能思菘、伟菘吧！不过要过一阵子，因为听说他们很凶，我怕会被骂到哭，打击太大，出不了第二张专辑！哈哈！
接下来有什么打算？
乙心：可能会到南马作宣传。新加坡比较慢热，现在电台才刚开始播我的歌。可能先让大家熟悉我的音乐才开始作宣传，像是跑校园，或是到民歌餐厅表演，累积舞台经验。
计时一分钟，告诉大家为什么要买这张EP？
乙心：买我的EP很划算！里头有6首歌那么多，又有MV看，还附赠卡拉OK版本，而且全部收录在一张光碟里，非常方便。曲风也非常大众化，以抒情为主，轻快的也有，像是那种乱乱爱呀…（？！）喔！我是指乱乱爱～搞笑！呵呵！
（
乙心果然口齿伶俐！不到半分钟就说到记者蠢蠢欲动想买专辑！） 之前你说过想拍电影和唱歌，现在电影也拍了（【三个好人】），专辑（EP）也出了，还有什么别的梦想？
乙心：以前有想过当DJ（广播员），不过已经当过兼职的了。我也蛮想当卡通片配音员的。可是有点难勒！新加坡很少卡通片…（记者问：开演唱会？）想啊！（明年？）哇！那我压力不是很大！哈哈～（谈恋爱？）嗯！可惜到现在还没有找到合适的肩膀靠…哎！
澄清3－
乙心：收到黑函是6年前的事了！
两个星期前，报章有报道指
乙心收到黑函，匿名者在信中对
乙心大肆毁谤，说她是不是跟人睡才会有那么多演出机会，又说她私底下行为不检，尤其在厕所里…这些恶意的中伤导致
乙心情绪非常低落。不知
乙心目前的心情平复了吗？
乙心：我要澄清！这是误会呀！当时那名记者打电话来是访问我有关唱片的事。后来忽然问我有没有收过黑函，我就讲有啊，刚出道的第一年有收过。没想到报道出来后，竟然没有写年份，结果朋友们都打来慰问我…那是6年前的事了，我当然已经没事了。我现在每天都过得很开心啊！
果然，欲知真相非问当事人不可。搞了半天，原来消息全都是假的，纯属谣言，也难怪
乙心要‘再三澄清’了！
在此祝
乙心唱片大卖，‘心’想事成！但愿下次采访
乙心的时候，她又可以许下新的愿望了！

Two brothers find their close bond slowly disintegrating when they leave the warm comforts of their fishing village home in Malaysia to seek a future elsewhere. And what can cause two men to squabble? Women of course. This emotional drama showcases a star-studded cast of Li Nanxing, Christopher Lee, Jesseca Liu,
Apple Hong, Jeanette Aw and Darren Lim.
Synopsis
The year is 1980. In a fishing village in Malaysia lives two brothers from a family which has difficulties making ends meet. They are the 15-year-old Guo Xianghai and the 13-year-old Yihai. The siblings’ parents eke out a living as fishermen. Witnessing their parents’ hard life, the brothers vow to succeed in future to earn loads of money for their sake.
Elder brother Xianghai is honest, down-to-earth and diligent. Although he goes about doing things in a silly, headstrong manner, Lady Luck always seem to be on his side: any adversities he faces simply turn into blessings in disguise. Yihai on the other hand is mischievous, adventurous and full of ideas. However, he thus also tends to be much more calculative and scheming in character. Despite their different personalities, the brothers are very close, going through thick and thin of their young lives together.
To supplement their meager household income, the brothers try all means and ways to earn more cash. These include stealing fruits and vegetables to sell in the market, and helping to collect scattered golf balls at a golf course. It is precisely at the latter that the duo made friends with Qianyun, the only daughter of wealthy pineapple plantation owner Huang Baiwan. These three start a friendship which sets the stage for a future complicated love web.
More than a decade later, the two young men leave their village to forge a better future elsewhere.
With Yihai’s bright ideas, the brothers try out numerous jobs and encountered many difficulties. Xianghai finally settles down to sell Hainanese chicken rice in a shop in Malacca while Yihai becomes a tour bus driver. On a trip to Singapore, Yihai runs into an argument with a female passenger who turns out to be Qianyun. Reunited, the trio’s relationship pick up where they had left it. Both brothers fall for Qianyun, who has eyes only for Xianghai. The optimistic Yihai refuses to admit defeat, insisting that there is always still a chance for him.
In a twist of fate, Yihai brings a group of tourists to visit his fishing hometown, sparking off a thought to develop the village into a rustic holiday resort. Enthusiastically, Yihai sources for investors only to be faced with rebuff and ridicule over such a seemingly impossible idea. Seeing Yihai’s confidence taking a beating, Xianghai turns to Qianyun’s rich father Baiwan for help. Touched by Xianghai’s earnest plea, Baiwan agrees to back the project financially to realize Yihai’s holiday resort dream.
As Qianyun and the two brothers embark on the project with great enthusiasm, an unwelcome arrival descends upon the Huang family –
Cen Anqi, Baiwan’s illegitimate daughter. Two decades back, Baiwan had an affair during a business trip in Thailand. The then beautiful and young mother of
Anqi made a wrong decision in swindling a sum of money from Baiwan with her boyfriend. In anger, Baiwan deserted her. Although he later learns of his mistress’s pregnancy, Baiwan is no longer able to place any trust on
Anqi’s mother. He hardens his heart and breaks ties with mother and daughter. After many tribulations,
Anqi followed her mother to Australia, where she completed her tertiary education by working part-time.
For 20 years,
Anqi was never acknowledged by Baiwan, nor did Baiwan play any part in her upbringing. When her mother passed on,
Anqi arrives at Baiwan’s doorstep with her mother’s final letter and a heart full of hatred. She is met with Baiwan’s rejection and demand for DNA testing. Despite the humiliation,
Anqi swallows her pride. With an innocent demeanor masking her angry thirst for revenge,
Anqi closes in on Qianyun and Baiwan step by step…
Although Baiwan eventually determines
Anqi’s identity, he continues to keep her at arms’ length and simply finds her a job in Yihai’s resort.
Anqi, who already made an earlier acquaintance with Yihai, finds herself falling for him as he bestows his trust in her.
The success of the holiday resort project gives the careers of Xianghai and Yihai a good start. However, Yihai soon finds his achievements being overshadowed by Xianghai. Even Baiwan openly expresses his admiration for Xianghai. To make matters worse, Xianghai and Qianyun’s relationship seems to be developing in leaps and bounds. As Xianghai reaps his rewards in love and career, his parents’ concerns however grow. After much deliberation, they finally reveal a carefully-kept secret to Xianghai.
To get to the bottom of the secret, Xianghai arrives in Singapore to locate his grandmother, only to find that she has already passed on. Running out of cash, he seeks lodgings in a dilapidated little hotel but is still unable to pay the cheap rent. Cheng Xiaoxuan, the proprietor’s daughter does not turn him out. Instead she enthusiastically helps him find a job. Xianghai meanwhile discovers that the gentle and introvert Xiaoxuan is frequently picked on by demanding hotel guests. A warm friendship develops between the two as Xianghai helps her out when he can.
The hotel is at the verge of closing its doors because it is simply too run-down. As Xiaoxuan’s family ponder over their future, Xianghai proposes to upgrade the premises and turn it into an upscale “theme hotel” catering to an elite group of guests. Xiaoxuan’s family eagerly applauds the idea. However, they are unable to come up with cash for the renovations. Undaunted, the optimistic Xiaoxuan goes all out to raise funds in order to keep the family business going. Xianghai’s admiration for her develops in the process.
What is the secret? And will the budding romance of Xianghai and Qianyun drive a wedge between the brothers? And will the scheming and manipulative
Anqi succeed in getting her revenge? Tune in to find out!
