[Interview] William Wei: I Thought Of Giving Up Because I'm Giving In For My Music Album

It's been a long time since we last translated an interview article. When we first read this article, we felt that this article should really be read by his fans. It is just like a letter to his fans, revealing his real feeling after becoming a singer.
  

This seems to be an exclusive interview by UDN News. We tried our best to translate as close as the meaning written in the article, please pardon us if there's any grammar mistakes here. Here's the translation.

My First Time 

From a student to a singer, I knew that there will be a period of adaptation in between. However, during the process, I once doubted myself, "Why am I here? Am I not here for singing?"
The first time for the thoughts of going back (to the past) appear on my head was when I was preparing for the "Through my lenses" concert, I had to prepare for the concert, perform overseas as well as promote my new album at the same time. I thought, you should be giving me more time in order to do it well. I was exhausted being demanded to multitask, and thought that I'm not suitable to this industry as I have low resistance to stress, I used to sleep early and wake up early, I feel tired very easily.

I was depressed. I endured it when I'm outside, at most I showed an unhappy face. But I started to throw things (to vent anger) when I was at home. However, I only throw things that don't break, to ensure I won't damage anything and hurting myself.

I felt really upset when I have to answer questions like "Who is the goddess in your heart?" just for the purpose of having a news during (album) promotions. I thought it's totally irrelevant to my music. I gave in during the promotions of my debut album and the movie "The Bird who Saves the World". Even when I was doing national service in military, I was assigned to performed in a variety show, which required me to play games in front of a temple, I gave in as well. I know that this is part of my job, and I have to do it but I don't feel comfortable with it.

I knew that it is not gonna be limited to only singing before I became a singer, so I picked them up slowly after I enter the industry. Giving in is just the first step of growing up. At the end of the day, I have to adjust my mentality, find my own way out, looking at seniors as examples, Fan Fan (Fan Wei Qi) is my model of reference.

For example, I didn't really want to dance in the concert, and I am rebellious, I will never do it if someone is forcing me. What happened in the concert this year is really a special exception. I gave in contradictory for the reason of: This is my job, this has effects (to the audience), the fans love it.

Fortunately, the company protects me, they have never over challenge my bottom line. I had acted in a movie, sang, and danced. Acting is something I'm willing to improve, however I do not wish dancing to become a regular thing to me.
