富士康舞王 跳樓不如跳舞
富士康舞王 跳樓不如跳舞 2011-02-19
「只有年輕的時候，我才因為跳舞不能提高收入而不開心，現在反倒愈來愈不在意，開心和意義才重要」
這個來自台灣、視跳街舞為一輩子理想看來很不符合「常規」的人，去年應台灣富商郭台銘太太邀請，到深圳富士康教跳舞。一個不夠常規的人闖入了一家太講常規的工廠，每天在一條條iPhone生產線旁邊領著鬱鬱寡歡的年輕外省工人揮著汗跳舞4個小時，跳出了一項最主流的成就。 那個成就，叫做快樂!

SCMP_Film studies Street culture
SCMP R09 | The Review 13-02-11
Directed by first-time filmmaker Su Che-hsien, the Taiwanese documentary Hip Hop Storm is about two generations of hip hop dancers in Taiwan, with the story of veteran hip hop dancer Alun Peng Ying-lun - a performer since 1990 - intertwined with that of Undergradu-Eight, a group whose members were all born in the 1990s.
Peng is considered one of the pioneers in Taiwan's street dance culture. He founded Taiwan's first hip hop dance group, the now-defunct The Party, in 1993, and has since persisted in honing his dancing skills in different parts of the world and bringing them back to Taiwan. The documentary follows Peng's first endeavour to his participation in the annual international street dance competition Juste Debout in Paris from 2007 to 2008. His travails run parallel to sequences showing Undegradu-Eight's efforts in the MRT Street Dance Competition - something the octet of high-school students promised to compete in after their university entrance exams.
"It demonstrates the differences between the devotion towards, and the way of looking at, dancing of the two generations," says Ben Tsiang, the producer of the film. "While Alun had to overcome obstacles and people's misunderstanding towards street dance in the past through his strong will, dancing is a passion for youngsters now, when street dance has more support and is more widely accepted."
Peng says street dance has become "the symbol of our generation": "Back then it was rock 'n' roll, now street culture is all over the internet as well as in music, fashion and the dance scene. It is our common body language."
The film was originally merely a school assignment of Su, who was studying at the Graduate School of Applied Media Arts of the National Taiwan University of Arts when he contacted Peng in summer 2007.
"He contacted me through the internet and asked if he could follow me every day and record my dancing career," says Peng, who was 34. "And I said, 'Go ahead!'"
Peng could hardly imagine that it would take until early 2010 to finish the actual shooting, more than a year after Su entered his initial 50-minute short film - the product of him following Peng and Undergradu-Eight for a year - into the 2nd CNEX Documentary Film Festival.
Su's work was one of 10 projects to receive financial support from CNEX, a non-profit organisation to promote documentary filmmaking in Chinese-speaking societies. However, to make the film a fully fledged piece suitable for theatrical release, a fresh round of shooting and plenty of editing were needed. "The process was very harsh for the director. It seemed to him there was no end to it and there were many times that he wanted to give up," says Tsiang, who also serves as CNEX's chief executive officer.
Peng says he empathised with his director's struggles. "Su's determination and passion touched me. I called myself a street dance fighter and I think he's a fighter, too, a shooting fighter - accomplishing his dream using a camera."
The two supported and cheered each other during the process. With Su a student and Peng a dancer, money was tight - while Peng continued giving performances and holding dancing classes to raise funds for the film, Su deferred his studies and the draft. (Su is now serving in the army.) The finished film has been shown twice in Taiwan cinemas, with footage featuring Peng going to Juste Debout for the second time, as well as interviews with members of Undergradu-Eight after they have attended different universities.
At last year's Golden Horse Awards, Hip Hop Storm won the best documentary award, making Su, who was then just 27, the youngest-ever prize-winning filmmaker at the awards.
For Peng, the film's success has opened doors for himself and other dancers.
"This film is very important as it's a realistic record of a wide-reaching art form of our time," Peng says.
"The film let the audience see our spirit. It cleans up the negative image of street dance and enables parents to get to know their children's dream instead of always imposing their own expectations on them."

人人都有夢想，但只有最單純的人，才能堅持把夢追尋到底。去年金馬獎最佳紀錄片《街舞狂潮》就是關於尋夢的故事，台灣「街舞鬥士」阿倫就因為跳舞而跳出黑社會、跳走偏見、跳到參加世界賽、跳到去富士康助人減壓；導演蘇哲賢就將這部本來只有 50 分鐘的學生習作，「舞」足 4 年，「舞」到它變長片參加影展，一舉成為金馬獎史上最年輕得獎導演。

明報_台灣舞蹈家深圳授課半年未了情 富士康舞班教員工跳出鬼門關
香港明報 A12 | 中國 | 大時代小人物（系列之十八） 2011-01-31
「那是去年5 月底，曾馨瑩打電話給我，說起了富士康的事，問我是否願意幫忙去教員工跳舞，當時也沒考慮太多就答應了。」阿倫口中的曾馨瑩既是他朋友，也是一名舞蹈教師，更重要的是，她正是鴻海集團董事長郭台銘的太太。因此，丈夫旗下公司出事，郭太太立即想到了擅長以街舞與年輕人打交道的阿倫。
阿倫直言，到深圳富士康的龍崗廠區後的第一個印象就是，那些員工很辛苦。「天天做重複的工作，娛樂不多。」所以，阿倫教他們街舞，重的不是跳舞技巧，而是藉街舞給他們減壓，帶給他們歡樂。
郭台銘太太邀請為員工減壓
17 歲學街舞，34 歲還在跳，「軋到贏為止（台語，意即堅持到勝利）」正是阿倫的人生宗旨。透過街舞，他也把這份精神感染給富士康的年輕人： 「我想我的作用，就是讓富士康的學員找到目標，找回笑容。」
成立「富士康街舞團」，阿倫未遇上什麼困難，員工很受落，他們還在去年公司的中秋晚會上表演。但阿倫的執教生涯只有短短半年，去年12 月他告別了富士康。「算是一個階段的結束吧。」阿倫說，對於離開原因，他似不欲言明。
不過，據富士康的員工在網誌上透露，阿倫是因為想給學員爭取更多，與富士康的管理層產生矛盾，所以才離開。雖然確實原因未明，但網誌上留言的學員們都對阿倫充滿了不捨。
「公司各項對策應對員工跳樓問題，多少人真正感受到快樂？阿倫老師希望大家一起建立一個快樂健康的工作環境，他崇尚基層的人權、自主。跟阿倫老師舞動，讓枯燥乏味的打工生活有了一絲絲樂趣，這就是阿倫老師給我們所帶來的。」這一段富士康員工的網文，或能說明阿倫的街舞精神，確實比心理輔導、政府介入等等更有效洗滌員工心靈，也因此，他們對阿倫的離開感到特別難過。
回想在富士康的日子，阿倫最遺憾的是沒辦法教更多員工學街舞。而雖然人已離開富士康，但他始終牽掛這一班學員。今次藉自己金馬獎得獎紀錄片《街舞狂潮》在港上映，阿倫特別逗留多兩日，就是為了去深圳跟學員們舊。
彭英倫簡介
今年36 歲的阿倫是台中人，少年時曾在街頭混日子，17 歲接觸街舞，找到了人生目標。十多年來，他一直為推動街舞而努力，並透過街舞進行公益工作，有「街舞鬥士」之稱。去年，講述他征戰大阪、紐約、歐洲和巴西，在不同城市的街道尋找街舞靈魂，與8 名喜歡街舞的孩子一起奮鬥，並獲得CNEX 基金支持的電影《街舞狂潮》，獲得台灣金馬獎最佳紀錄片獎，本片將於2月19日在香港公映。
「我想我的作用，就是讓富士康的學員找到目標，找回笑容。」—台灣知名街舞舞蹈家
「剛開始接觸富士康的年輕人，覺得他們很辛苦， 我希望街舞（Hip Hop）可以帶給他們歡樂。」去年上半年，台灣鴻海集團屬下深圳富士康公司接連發生10 多宗員工自殺事件，震驚海內外。台灣知名街舞舞蹈家彭英倫臨危受命，到富士康開街舞班為員工減壓。雖然只相處短短半年，但富士康的員工已和這位「阿倫老師」結下深厚友誼。
