Summer has arrived. Lush tree
leaves seem greener under the dazzling sunbeams; high on the
branches, cicadas sing at the top of their lungs to announce the
arrival of the scorching hot season, and people on the street move
at a quicker pace to escape the heat. However, it is high time to
vacation in the southern Hainan Island, where tourists, away from
the maddening crowd in the cities, unwind in the embrace of
pristine sand beaches and stunning natural scenery.
Sanya is a fortunate city for
Tony Jiang, where he won the second runner-up of the recent Mr.
World 2007. The Shanghai native was supposed to play an active role
in international hotel management, being a graduate of the
prestigious Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne in Switzerland. But it
turns out that he has advanced to the world stage as Mr. Shanghai,
Mr. China P R and now Mr. World. How has the “shining star”
planned his life and career?
Standing before us is a
good-looking young gentleman. The understated elegance in his
manners is juxtaposed with the attentiveness of an hotelier and
sharpness of an entrepreneur. As a matter of fact, Tony Jiang had
already set up his own hotel investment and management consulting
business; it was in 2004, after he returned to China.
GRAND HOTELS: Nice to
meet you, Tony. First of all, my congratulations for your victory
in the Mr. World 2007. Why did you attend the Contest?
Tony Jiang: Because I am
the champion of Mr. China P R 2006, so I competed for the title of
Mr. World on behalf of China. It is a great luck, and honor too. As
one of the world’s most popular contests for men, Mr. World is a
contest of masculine beauty. Its winners are healthy, brave,
thoughtful and conscientious young men who set a model for their
contemporaries. It is the first time for China to host the event,
in which contestants from 56 different countries and regions
competed with one another in a full range of categories such as
physical agility, willpower and physique. Test items include
surviving in rainforests and rafting. It taught me quite a
lot.
GRAND HOTELS: Our
magazine covered in May of the Crowne Plaza Sanya, which is the
Official Hotel for the contest. How do you feel about this hotel?
And about Sanya?
Tony Jiang: Sanya is a
hospitable leisure city; I am fond of it, and this fondness is
growing day by day. Today I am dressed in a characteristic Hainan
fashion, see? The Crowne Plaza Sanya has become my home in Sanya.
We contestants had lived here throughout the contest, for more than
40 days, during which period the hotel had taken good care of us,
making us feel right at home. Here I’d like to thank the hotel and
the staff for the first-class service we have enjoyed. The
Chinese-accent architectural style, outstanding service and
profound hotel culture has appealed to me so that I can’t bear to
leave. What’s more, Robin Edwards (General Manager) and Philip Wei
(Director of Sales and Marketing) have become great friends of
mine, and we’ve been in contact since.
GRAND HOTELS: You had
studied overseas. No sooner had you returned than you took part in
the Mr. Shanghai contest, and you won! What made you decide to
attend this contest, and the later contests of Mr. China P R and
Mr. World?
Tony Jiang: I’d say it
was a mere coincidence. I returned in 2004, just in time for Mr.
Shanghai recruitment; three days later, I signed up. The motive was
quite simple. Having been abroad for so many years, I just wanted
to meet more people and make more friends, and I never expected
I’d win. So all I did was to keep my mind even and enjoy the fun
and accomplishments. As to Mr. China P R, actually it was my staff
who signed me up, so I was not nervous at all, and wow, champion
again, which entitled me to competing for Mr. World on behalf of
China, at last.
GRAND HOTELS: In which
aspects do you think you excel your fellow
contestants?
Tony Jiang: Strong
social ability, probably. I like to communicate with people, and
naturally would make friends very actively. I think little of
success or failure; that’s why I feel peaceful at heart. I think
one would behave more naturally and feel more at ease if in a
sincere, optimistic and relaxed state of mind. I would also give
credit to the attentive and serious character of a hotel man. Never
had I overlooked one single detail during Mr. World 2007; I was
busy and enjoyed myself enormously.
GRAND HOTELS: What are
you busying yourself with at the moment, now that the Contest was
over?
Tony Jiang: At present,
I devote 50% to 60% of the energy to the show business, hosting
programs, shooting TV commercials, or present in events and
parties. In addition, I assist in organizing Miss World 2007, which
will take place in Sanya as well. To promote the City of Sanya in
Japan, in which my company is expert, is also one of my
obligations, and we expect some success by the end of the year. For
the moment we concentrate on the segmentation of tourist products
in the hope of making the city more appealing.
GRAND HOTELS: Since you
have your own business to attend, how do manage to balance the two
roles, namely, performer and boss?
Tony Jiang: It is a
problem, as the two identities are completely different. As a
performer, I am obliged to put in unlimited passion and zeal,
leading a high-profile life. As an entrepreneur, however, I should
lower the tone and keep my head cool so that I can go through all
sorts of difficulties calmly. That said, I still enjoy my current
lifestyle very much, given that the two sides complement each
other, and combine to expand my social circles.
GRAND HOTELS: You have
shot commercials for many big brands such as Ford and Redoxon. What
criteria do you follow? Are you interested in shooting a film or TV
drama?
Tony Jiang: I only
advertise for good, reliable products, and big brands are a
guarantee of outstanding quality and good credit. I feel less
inclined to shoot a film/TV drama, which usually takes a longer
time; but I would be more than happy to have a try if the work is
good and the role indeed suits me. To be a good actor is one of my
dreams; I would work hard to attain to the goal. I believe I’d
accomplish what I am really interested.
GRAND HOTELS: About your
dreams, can you elaborate on that?
Tony Jiang: One, have a
hotel of my own; now I’m working towards it. Two, donate to a
School of Hope; it’s been routine for me to visit some poor kids
every time I come to Sanya. Three, be a good actor and work
seriously.
GRAND HOTELS: You have
studied a hotel-related major, and have received professional
trainings in hotels both in Shanghai and overseas countries. In
doing business you’ve also stayed in lots of hotels. How will you
compare the hotels in China and in other counties?
Tony Jiang: I can see
little difference in terms of hotel facilities; ours are even
better. However, Chinese hotels are inferior in the quality of
service and the awareness to serve due to various reasons. For
example, hotels in China would, more often than not, focus on
luxury facilities rather than on staff training, which is precisely
the most important factor. Secondly, sterility in corporate culture
has deprived some hotels of the comprehension that service is the
backbone to sustain a hotel. Thirdly, shortage in hotel executives
and in talent reserve is evident, considering that China market has
been soaring in recent years, with a good many new hotels in
operation and still more to come.
GRAND HOTELS: Which
hotels do you prefer? Are you a follower of branded
hotels?
Tony Jiang: I do, in
most cases. It is not necessarily to be an expensive one, but
should be a brand that I know, for I’d be familiar with the
environment and service which is somewhat guaranteed by the brand
name. In the case of smaller individual hotels, cleanness is above
everything, not only for me but for all other travelers, I believe.
Only in a clean environment can I feel relieved to have a
rest.
GRAND HOTELS: We find
that you’ve trained in the Food & Beverage Department. Do you
love cooking?
Tony Jiang: Cooking is
one of my favorites. I had got a cook’s license for Chinese food,
so when I was in Switzerland, I invited classmates and teachers to
my place every weekend and cooked for them. It was huge fun. But
now I don’t have time to cook that much.
GRAND HOTELS: Any plan
for the next two years?
Tony Jiang: I would
focus on the tourism project, which is in progress at the moment,
and work on establishing a couple of small hotels, one of which is
probably to open in Hainan next year.
Through the above dialogue we
get to know a versatile Mr. World who straddles two diverse fields
at ease, shifting roles between the entertainment circle and the
business world. Free at heart and full of passion, he is a sober
thinker and intelligent doer who pursue doggedly the so-called
quality lifestyle.
We anticipate Tony Jiang’s
next success.
入夏的上海，耀眼的阳光，葱郁的树叶被照得油亮。成群的知了在枝头不停地宣告着炎夏的到来。而街上的行人更是加快了步伐行色匆匆。而此刻海南的三亚正是度假的好时节。细软的白沙，美丽的自然风光，让人远离了都市的喧嚣。我们今天的主角正是出生于上海，从“上海先生”到“中国先生”再到“世界先生”，从上海到三亚，一步步登上国际舞台的蒋乐俊先生。原本应该走上酒店管理者道路的他是怎样规划自己精彩的人生？让我们共同走近这位内敛得体，有着酒店背景的“闪亮之星”。
眼前的蒋乐俊先生不但有着俊朗的外表，更是多了份酒店人的细致与商业人士的犀利。蒋乐俊先生毕业于著名的瑞士洛桑酒店商业学校，学习专业酒店管理。2004年回国后成立了自己的公司，从事酒店投资咨询。
《大酒店》：蒋先生，您好。首先恭喜您获得“世界先生”季军的荣誉。您是如何想到参加“世界先生”比赛的呢？
蒋乐俊：因为在2006年参加了“中国先生”的比赛，运气好，赢了。能代表中国参加“世界先生”绝对是我的荣幸。
“世界先生”是世界最具影响力的男子国际赛事。这是第一次在中国举办，吸引了来自56个国家和地区的选手一同角逐。大赛的宗旨是评选“健康、勇敢、有思想、有责任感”的时代青年楷模，是展现男子阳刚之美的竞争。比赛的项目有热带雨林生存、漂流等，是包括体能、毅力、体魄等全方位的考验，从中我学到了很多。
《大酒店》：我们也曾在5月刊中介绍过此次承办“世界先生”的官方酒店--三亚华宇皇冠假日酒店。您对三亚、对该酒店的印象如何？
蒋乐俊：三亚是个休闲又有人情味的地方，我对她的感情与日俱增。看，我今天穿的衣服还极具海南风情呢。三亚华宇皇冠假日酒店现在成了我到三亚必住的酒店。从开始比赛到结束，我们一共住了40多天，印象中像在家一般倍受关注和照顾。在这儿，我要向酒店所有为我们提供一流服务的人们致谢。酒店极具中国风韵的建筑格调，优质的服务和深厚的酒店文化都令我流连忘返。我还与酒店的总经理爱德华先生，市场销售总监魏黎成了好朋友，一直保持着联系。
《大酒店》：您从海外留学归国后就参加了“上海先生”的评选，并一举夺魁。您是怎么想到参加此类比赛的呢？又是如何从“上海先生”、“中国先生”一步步成为“世界先生”的？
蒋乐俊：这真是机缘巧合。我是2004年回国，当时正好在举行“上海先生”的报名选拔。回国后3天我就决定去参加比赛了。当时目的很简单，出国很久了，完全是想通过比赛认识、结交更多的朋友。我也从未想过拿奖。因此，始终以平和的心态享受着整个比赛，体验过程中的乐趣与收获。后来参加“中国先生”是我的公司员工帮我报的名，所以也一直是以很放松的状态进行，谁知获得了冠军，然后代表中国参加“世界先生”的比赛。
《大酒店》：您认为自己获胜的最大优势在哪里？
蒋乐俊：可能是我的交际能力吧。我喜欢和人沟通。因为我学的是酒店管理，所以很自然地会主动地去交朋友。因为我没有把胜负看得太重，所以心态也挺平静的。我想真诚、乐观、放松的心态让会让人表现地更加从容自然。另外可能就是我的专注、认真的酒店人精神吧。在“世界先生”的选举中，每一个细节我都认真对待了，忙碌而又享受着整个过程。
《大酒店》：比赛已经结束，目前您主要在忙些什么？
蒋乐俊：目前我的精力有50%-60%是在演艺部分。比如主持节目、拍摄广告、参加一些活动及晚宴。同时帮助筹办今年同样在三亚举办的“世界小姐”的比赛。现在，帮助三亚在开辟日本市场（这也是我自己公司的强项），希望今年年底可以看到喜人的效果。目前我们正努力对旅游产品进行细分，挖掘其更多更具吸引力的方面。
《大酒店》：您自己的公司也需要管理，那您是如何平衡艺人和老板这双重身份的呢？
蒋乐俊：这的确有些难，这是两种不同的领域。对演艺部分来说，需要你投入无限的热情，你要十分的高调。但作为一名商业人士，必须低调、冷静地考虑各种问题。不过，虽然如此，我还是非常享受这种忙碌的生活，同时这两部分又可互补，也能扩大我的交际面。
《大酒店》：我们看见您拍摄的广告都是大品牌如福特汽车、力度申等，您选择的标准是什么？您对影视作品的拍摄有兴趣吗？
蒋乐俊：选择大品牌是因为他们的质量，信誉有保证。我只选择好的、可信的产品。拍摄影视作品需要比较长的时间，所以有所顾虑。但是如果有好的、适合我的作品，我还是非常愿意尝试。做一个好的演员是我的梦想之一，我也会为之努力，相信如果自己喜欢就能做好。
《大酒店》：您能说下您的梦想吗？
蒋乐俊：一、有一家自己的酒店。目前也正在努力中。二、捐助一所希望学校。每次回三亚我都会去看一些贫困的孩子。三、做一个认真、能演好戏的演员。
《大酒店》：您学的是和酒店有关的专业，也分别在上海和国外的国际性酒店受过专业的培训，同时作为商旅人士也入住过许多的酒店，您能比较一下国内外酒店的不同之处吗？
蒋乐俊：从硬件设施上来说，可以说是国内没有差距，甚至更好。但在服务水平和意识上还是有距离的。其中的原因是多方面的，比如：国内酒店有时往往只重视了设施的豪华，但忽略了对员工的培训，但这恰恰是最重要的。再有，一些的酒店缺乏企业文化内涵。没有很好地去贯彻服务理念，就像失去了主心骨，没有支撑。再来就是后备力量的缺乏。我们都知道中国近些年来的发展很快，越来越多的酒店开始进驻，但管理人员的缺乏及后备力量的不足却是显而易见的。
《大酒店》：您会挑选怎样的酒店入住呢？是品牌追随者吗？
蒋乐俊：大多数情况下是的，我一般会选择品牌酒店，不一定很贵，但一定是知道的品牌。因为环境、服务是我熟悉并有保证的。如果选择小酒店的话，那清洁是最重要的，这样能让放心休息。我想这也是所有客人的希望。
《大酒店》：我们发现您曾在餐饮部受过培训，烹饪是您的爱好吗？
蒋乐俊：烹饪美食的确是我的爱好之一，去瑞士之前考了个中餐厨师的资格证书。留学的时候每个周末都会请同学和老师来家里吃饭，那是非常开心的事。只是现在没有太多时间了。
《大酒店》：您能透露一下未来两年的发展计划吗？
蒋乐俊：我想先把目前的旅游项目做好，再作一些小型酒店的投资项目。可能明年在海南会开一家小酒店。
和蒋乐俊先生的谈话让我们认识了多面的他，洒脱热情、冷静睿智、专心专注，穿梭在娱乐圈，又驰骋在商业世界。凭借着酒店人特有的对高品质生活的苛求与不懈努力，我们期待着他的下一个成功。
