Lee Hom has a pretty strong American accent when he speaks chinese normally, so I don't think he tried to do a so called "southern chinese" accent. I think he's just trying to cover up the fact that he has a strong accent.
what do you mean a Taiwanese accent? it sounds pretty standard chinese to me. there are so many chinese accents out there i guess its normal to mistaken it and often classify it to be either mainlanderish or taiwanese. but thats just wrong.
A southern accent? Does a Cantonese accent count? Honestly I just feel it that way.There are a lot young people from mainland trying to adopt the accent after watching too much tv shows made in Taiwan.
Yes, MAINLAND Cantonese accent counts because they do speak Mandarin as their second language (the official language).
But Hong Kong Cantonese accent does NOT count because Mandarin is Not officially spoken in Hong Kong.
Southern accentS (more than one just for your info) do sound similar to Taiwanese accents.
China is a big country, Mandarin is spoken with different accents in different parts of China. It would be weird if every single person sounded the same.
"Southern accentS do sound similar to Taiwanese accents." Sorry,I don't think so.Since I was grown up in southern China.Ask any person from mainland China whether they can detect an Taiwanese accent.I bet they will tell you yes.
give us a break! he says 'sound like'! i grew up in the south too and the southern way of pronouncing mandarin does sound LIKE Taiwanese. i can tell the difference but they do sound alike. so they do.
to candiinoodles/... the reason y lee hom termed it chinked out is bcoz he is trying to erase the disrespectfulness of the term 'chink' into 'chinked out'( which means the opposite of chink)... so u should be proud , not disappointed.. :*
Yeah! Mr James Schamus can be very proud of him. He killed the magic and the romanticism of the movie with only three words. Just compare the answers of Ang Lee and Tang Wei to the same question.
Hollywood basic rules number one : always tell a funny anecdote about the movie you're selling, huh. So now when you'll see "Lust Caution" think about the killer pizza light, he says. Thank you for the tip Mr Schamus, you maybe the co-writer of the movie, even so you're an asshole.
the interviewer isn't being rude. leehom's 2005&2007 CDs are described as "chinked out" albums b/c they blend hip hop with traditional chinese instruments (ie. the erhu). Leehom coined the term "chinked-out" himself
i know, loads of chinese people use the term chink, but i still think its disrespectful to ur own race, or to others if they use it. im quite dissapointed with lee hom.
his chinese is totally ABC... wat da hell is southern chinese.. SO NOT true! and he seems SO STUPID in da movie! there are so many BETTER actors.. dunno why it has to be him.. totally ruined da whole movie!
What a patronizing interviewer! "So in the film, you were speaking with an American accent..." What an ass...I was really impressed with the way Leehom handled it, though; he turned it right back around on the guy, exposing his ignorance.
I think the interviewer was actually trying to defend Leehom from some of the criticism he'd been getting in Taiwan for his American accent in the film. That's the point of the song "Cockney Girl" as well.
Lee Hom gives me the HOT chills when he speaks in English! hahaha... I want him to speak in English forever!!! lol.... I <3 him! and I <3 Lust, Caution. This movie is awesome!!! I'm going to watch it again!! lol...
I just love Lee Hom sooo much! He looks sooo cute!! I'm realy looking foward to see Lee Hom making his own movie!! Lee Hom u Rock soooo much!! And it was soo funny when he asked Lee Hom about Tony Leung's eyes! "Eyes...Mysterious...Thats 5 words or less!" Haha!! Freakin Funny!
wow leehom is pretty bilingual...i mean, usually, people learn chinese and then english and then their chinese like worsens. but both of his are good!
If you have Chinese parents and you were born and brought up in an English-speaking country.
Your first language is still more likely to be Chinese because the first people you learn to speak from are your parents, then you learn English when you start going to school and interacting with other non-Chinese speaking kids.
ahhhhhh leehom is so hot and omgg i love it when he speaks english or sings in englishhh. lol i wish i was a part of those crazy fans across the street screaming leehom leehom lol
Tony Leung's eyes!

It's a Southern accent.
Southern accent sounds like Taiwanese accent. The R, Sh and Zh are not pronounced as prominently in the South.
Not everyone in China speaks with a Beijing accent. There are more than one accent in China.
It's like most American think there are only two accents in England... Posh and Cockney. LOL!!
