谢霆锋谷歌英文演讲：还拍孙悟空是悲哀 | 与米其林厨师打成平手

编者按

能相信吗？谢霆锋明年就40岁了。

那个留着长发，带着叛逆表情，在台上砸碎一把吉他，并酷酷坐在台上大声唱着《谢谢你的爱1999》……仿佛就在昨天。

这个带来了以酷为美并席卷八零一代的曾经的年轻人，也妥妥步入了中年。

是的，时光不曾放过谁。

而他的跨界与转型也曾让人惊掉下巴。当第一期锋味于2014年横空出世的时候，很少有人会觉得他是认真的。

也许，只是一时兴起的玩儿票而已？

这么想的人，也许只是太不了解谢霆锋了。

从2014到2019，第五季的锋味马上要上线了，开启了线下体验店，与米其林厨师PK打成平手，并创立了自己的食品品牌，线上同步销售。

人们都说，谢霆锋变了，但从他倔强的眼神中仿佛能看出，他没变。

受邀谷歌发表演讲

2019年3月，谢霆锋获邀去谷歌演讲，分享了他一路以来的心路历程。

他谈到了创新的重要性，觉得西方电影中有各种各样的英雄形象，而我们现在仍在拍孙悟空，是一种悲哀。

他分享了目前自己的事业发展，美食节目及其周边在其商业版图中的比重，以及演唱和创作的最新动向。

他回顾了二十多年前刚出道时的各种艰辛，以及为了获得认可而拼命去做的很多很多疯狂的事。

我们一起来看一下吧。

在一个多小时的演讲中，谢霆锋全程以流利英文对答。

他说自己曾经为了向大家证明自己而做过很多疯狂的事，自己向着多领域发展，不管在哪个领域都想尽全力证明自己，同时付出了很多努力，虽然有很多困难，但一直坚持。

主持人问他：你有多重身份，怎样才能专注做好每一样事？

谢霆锋表示：“我在厨房学到一件事，就是时间管理！”

他用烹饪比喻：当你要为两个人或四个人去做两道菜，很容易，八个人，都可以，但要为十个人做八道菜，上菜的时候还要热，特别是中国菜，就不是那么容易。

他承认自己是一个求知欲强的人，对好多事都很好奇，会成天问为什么？怎么样？当一开始专注做一件事情的时候，他会锲而不舍去钻研，不会被难题却步，这个是他的性格。

在主持访谈环节提到他这一年出歌、为颁奖礼担任嘉宾又做综艺节目导师，问他是否在音乐上已有全新的计划？

谢霆锋称并没特别去计划，是顺其自然。他说：做不同范畴的事有不同的好处，譬如有时股票会好过做房地产，有时做音乐会好过做电影，一样的道理。

2014年他做第一季《锋味》，成为内地最大型的美食旅游节目，现在做到了第五季。因为抓住了这个热点，现在节目很稳定，就有更多时间去做音乐。

他表示现在未必出专辑，但正在筹备开演唱会。

最后，当被问到有什么关键词去形容自己的性格和人生时，谢霆锋说：creativity（创造）、synergy（协同）、resourcefulness（智谋）。

不同的关键词可以用在不同的阶段，他觉得每一个字都是关键词。

演讲部分英文编辑摘录如下：

OK. So when I first got the invitation to come to Google HK, I was thinking to myself, what the hell am I going to do at Google? Seriously. Because you guys are the people I go to when I look at my stuff. Seriously.

It could be through the search engine. It could be through maps. I like to travel a lot. I could throw on a backpack and just wander off somewhere into the world and see the world.

So I'm always navigating through maps. And lately, actually, speaking of which, I've been trying to pick up on more Japanese.

But I must say, sometimes the translations are still a bit funky. But 80% of the time it does the job very well. So thank you for whoever out there that's making my life a lot easier.

But maybe today we could touch on some other keywords where we cannot fully understand through the internet, maybe keywords like creativity.

I think creativity for me, it's the biggest thing. Either it be through my music, or my food shows, or movies, or my business.

Because I think without creativity we cannot really ensure our place in the market. And eventually you will be left behind in the world.

Creativity comes in many different forms and styles. It doesn't have to be through movies or that kind of artistry. It could be through tennis and others.

I think if Google was not as creative when they were doing the algorithms back then, it would not be what it is today. So a lot of people would say, yeah, I'm not the creative type.

No. We all are. We just have to find that one edge. We have to find how we can synergize and capitalize on that on our own strengths.

But it is getting harder and harder to be creative, I think, in this world, because everyday we are flooded by so much content in our phones.

All the blogs that we look at, all the comments, all the likes, all the streaming, all the films. Everything. But unknowingly, unknowingly we are so almost too inspired to a point where we are losing ourselves, because we are taking in everybody else's ideas-- their thoughts, their voices.

But when we get into a habit of that, we forget about being original, being really creative, starting our own ideas. And to me that is very, very dangerous, because if what you put out is no different than the person next to you, if what you contribute to the company is just the same as everybody else in the room, let me tell you something.

And maybe even in some fields, it's getting harder and harder. Like in music, I would say that it is harder for me now to compose a very good piece of music than it was 15, 20 years ago, because the time signatures or the combinations of the notes are simply being taken up.

It is harder to write something original than now and have it not sound like that it has been written by someone, sometime, like some song back then.

Because it's been done. But in our world, that's what is happening is because all the ideas are being voiced up. And we are seeing it. So if we don't voice out loud enough, clear enough, soon enough, we are actually behind.

But I would say that it is very important to get out there to the world and really experience it. Because I think the phone still only brings you halfway. And you must walk the other half.

You know, nowadays when I'm chatting with a lot of the younger generation kids, what really happens a lot is that maybe the topic would be along the line of, man, I was in-- I was-- I was in Finland last weekend.

The Aurora lights, they were beautiful. And then the kid would say something like, yeah. I know. I know. I saw it on YouTube. Or yeah, yeah. That was really cool. I saw it on Facebook.

Again, it's a great entrance to the world. But it's halfway. Please, when the opportunity allows, get off your butt and walk the other half, which may be even more important.

The phone is awesome. The net is awesome. But that is halfway, halfway. Is it too early for you guys, because you guys look kind of stale.

A lot of that is because we're sort of going through life through a screen, and we're not interacting much. Here at Google we spent a lot of time thinking about what we're doing for Hong Kong.

What advice do you have for us, and also for the broader millennial crowd who is interested in doing something for Hong Kong? How to get started. How to think about that. And what approach to take.

And that's what Chef Nic, the brand, is trying to do is because I think even now, when you see families going off to go out to dinners, they're eating through looking through their--looking through their phones the whole time.

Let me tell you. I was in really, really bad terms with my parents for the longest time. I was in boarding school ever since I was 12. And then at the age of 14, I was sent to Tokyo to start training in music.

By 16, I started working. And I never really got a chance to have a relationship with my parents. And we've been on bad terms for the longest time, until, until I started cooking.

And I think keep doing what you're doing. But if you can think of the third party, then I think that the whole picture is much bigger.

结语

上一次谢霆锋正式私人分享应该还是在2012年。

在香港科技大学，他主要分享的是创办后期制作公司的一些幕后故事。

当时的他，应该也还没预料到仅仅两年后，他就亲手开启了锋味这趟神奇之旅吧。

也许，不管将来将商业版图扩展到任何新的领域，正如他在演讲中所说：创造、协同与智谋都会是他一直谨记并践行的。

大佬，好运啦。
