Interview for 电视朋友 (2016-07): Difference between revisions

== Quick Q&A: ==

ZZH: A bowl of really warm soup noodles (because I’m having stomach issues lately).

ZZH: App for watching sports.  

ZZH: Checking my phone.

ZZH: Cycling to Tibet.

ZZH: «天才在左，疯子在右» 高铭

ZZH: Actor would be Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio; singer would be Jay Chou.

ZZH: Travel around the world.  

ZZH: Strength is bravery; weakness is I’m a little stubborn, a little crazy, so that if I decide on something I’d stick with it to the end.

= He’s everywhere—in your ipad and on your TV screen =

ZZH: First of all I really want to thank my boss Yu Zheng and his appreciation for my talents. In the Demon Girl I play the lead Ming Xia, a man whose love remains undaunted by the wealth gap or the gap between humans and demons—he never gave up on love even though his girlfriend was half demon, and he was willing to make sacrifices as a man.

Ming Xia is a dedicated, persistent romantic hero and I too, am very dedicated and persistent when it comes to people and events in my life, so that I think I’m fairly close to Ming Xia in terms of personality.  

ZZH: I think in order to play any role very well, the key is to understand the key personality traits of this character and try to put yourself into the shows of that character, to feel what that character would feel, to think and act like the character — this is how you create roles that conform to your artistic intentions. Demon Girl is a love story and there are a lot of scenes with me and the female lead getting together, being separated and coming back together again, with a lot of tragic scenes, so we designed a ton of tearful scenes, and I felt my tears dry up I cried so much at one point. Since I started working, this is probably the one show where I cried the most.  

ZZH: If I fell in love with a girl who’s a “half-demon”, I suppose I’d stay true to my love, because when you love someone, in that instant, you’re crazy, you’d choose to give her everything and sacrifice for her, and love overcomes your reason.  

ZZH: Li Yitong is a very good actor, and I had a lot of surprises in filming with her, lots of chemistry too. She has her own way of acting and puts her entire heart into it. I’m not sure if I’d call them tips but we’d exchange our views on the characters and the script, so we’re learning from each other really.

ZZH: Han Bin’s parents were killed by enemy spies, so he carries a personal vendetta in addition to being motivated by patriotism in his role as a Unit 701 Member (a top-secret Chinese intelligence agency). His tragic past keeps him aloof on the outside, but on the inside he’s a passionate, principled man dedicated to justice; he’s the kind of guy who appears to keep everyone at arms’ length on the outside but in fact has infinite capacity for human bonds on the inside.  

ZZH: Above the Clouds is a television show created by Yu Zheng, and the storyline is set in the modern day. I play a pop singer Ke Luo, and I have a lot of scenes opposite Yuan Shanshan because my character solves a lot of problems for her character. Perhaps that’s one of the key highlights of the show—hope the audience will like this character that I created.

= He’s Everywhere—in TV shows and variety shows =

ZZH: Amazing Race China 3 is more focused on personal bodily strength, your personal strength is the basis for the competition, and really the focus is testing your grit and team spirit. Maybe it’s because I’m a Taurus, I’m pretty dedicated and committed and that may conform well to the show’s central tenet of “keep going and don’t give up” spirit.  

ZZH: I feel honored competing with Olympic champions, there were times during the filming of the show when I feel tired, but I was always excited and I’ve always felt it was okay as long as I did my best.

ZZH: Jingjing-jie and Qigang-ge are very nice people, very kind and friendly.

ZZH: The show’s game setting push personal endurance, both body and mind, to the limit. Sifan and I at the beginning of our partnership needed to work out a way of working together, with our differences of view, but after partnering for a while, we began to understand each other better and better so our cooperation became smoother as a result. In order to win, we both did our best, and to accommodate each other and work in tandem is really key to our success.

ZZH: I think it’s really a matter of chance, I believe in trusting to the fates. I believe that day would arrive, and I’ll share with everyone when that happens.

ZZH: At the moment I’d like to stay primarily focused on filming, but I also like to sing in my spare time and sometimes I record theme songs (ost) for TV shows. I hope I’ll have a chance to put out an album one day, haha.
