Very CUTEEEEE Qi Qi interview ππππ https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4758886446272643 https://youtu.be/lg6Dfb080ww https://youtu.be/AH9hzqP0BL8 Youku (Y) : Use 3 words to describe yourself (as young Zhu Di) CY : Family & country-minded, fearless, teenage/youthful spirits Y : What skills are you most proud of? CY : That must be able to resist beating, beaten often π Y : After marriage with Xu Miao Yun, who do you think will be compromised? CY : Do you think she pinched me to death? π No spoilers for this, because everyone must follow the drama to know. I think it is gonna be cool later on. Y : My father vs my father in law, who is more scarier/you afraid of? CY : Both! Father and elder also afraid of π₯΄ Y : Which one is more painful to feel, the army/military stick or the (shoes) sole? CY : At first the army stick, but after father also hit me with that shoes sole, it was just like putting salt on the wound, because it hurts just right after the beating, so it both hurt π₯² Y : What attracks you the most about the role of young Zhu Di? CY : Because young Zhu Di is in high spirits, very stubborn side, and mischief, but he is the prince that still have big ambition, aspiring to contribute, he rather run away and join to army, than being force to marry. I think young Zhu Di is really interesting to me. Sometimes he is like when i was a kid, every child has a stubborn side, hot-blooded, and have dreams. Y : What are the similarities between young Zhu Di and yourself? CY : I think it is not admit defeat, once you know something, you have to move forward, do your best to make it happen. Y : What do you think of the scene of standing on the tree and feed the birds? CY : This scene is interesting, he just found the bird nest, and because it is a fake tree, they actually create a big tree, i am standing on that and there is a ladder to climb up, so the air above is pretty good, you can see the whole palace, and it is quite interesting to stand on that, i don't want to come down. Y : Is Cheng Yi in life also do it often, some playful, small expressions? CY : I had some when i was young, but not when i got older. Because i am older now so i am more calm. When i was young, there were some small expressions π€¨ (he gave small samples π π ), move around a lot. But when you've grown up, it is gone. Y : There is a lot of interaction with 12th prince in the drama. Is this part of coaxing the child a true performance? CY : In life, because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, play with them as soon as you get home, i feel like a kid myself, king of children, so i am used to play with them. So when we were filming, because the children in the drama are so cute, and they are all good at acting, so just have fun with them. Because I am also the king of children, so it is a bit close in real life. Y : Have you been impressed by your own armor in the play? CY : It looks good. Once you wear the armor, wow, this armor is pretty good. Every day I just touch it and take pictures of myself, keep it and send it to my parents, "how cool is it? It is priceless!" Y: How did you feel about the scenes of galloping on the battlefield? CY : Just fun. I remember the prairie when I went to Inner Mongolia, beef and mutton. Just look at that every day, see many cows, sheep, and horses, just have different moods. And the horse is actually very good and obedient. But the horse also has some uncontrollable emotions, there are some occasions when we were filming, I've had this a few times, but luckily I've had better luck, immediately restrain the saddle. But this is actually quite normal, when you are shooting a big scene, in the process of filming, the crew is actually very good in preventive measures, gives us early training. Y : How do you feel about being ridiculed for "either being beaten or on the way (to be beaten)"? CY : Umm, yes, that's right, after performing young Zhu Di, in the past four years, the roles were either beaten or on the way being beaten by others, or often stabbed by others. Y : We saw Mr. Zhang Fengyi demonstrating how to hit a military stick. What happened at that time? CY : The crew laoshi, they maybe don't know how to beat with skill. Because they hit me dozens of times in the early stage, but the director and Zhang Fengyi laoshi after reviewing and said "you hurt this kid, but I can see that it looks fake (in hitting him)." So Zhang Fengyi laoshi went to demonstrate in person, how to use skill to swing the stick, to hit me. I still remember that scene very well, because you were shooting, and as a boy, had to save face, and say "just hit it (for real)." And it takes for almost an hour, right? Well it is quite a long time anyway, at the time, i feel okay. But when I went back, when I took a shower, it is really green (swollen). But I think it's normal, during your filming, it's normal for you to bump and get hurt. Y : At that time, when you were beaten on the screen, do you think that the audience would crazy off-screen laughs? CY : I didn't think about it, but if this works well, if the audience is happy, that's fine too. We really didn't think about it at the time. At the time, just bear with it. Y : There are a lot of old/senior actors in the drama, how does it feel to work with the teachers/laoshi? CY : The biggest feeling is to see the laoshi, as the true benchmark. They are very relaxed in performance. Because only after working with them, I just realized that I have some problems, so I know where the direction of my efforts is more clearly. I think this is very good. And their rigor/thoroughness with the role of the play, I remember being very lovely. Director Gao Xixi and Chen Baoguo laoshi, the two are so cute, we were performing together that day and I sat in the back, the two of them are "It is wrong, I don't think the shade of your floor is right. It is too new." Just the two laoshi, discussing about floor tile and studied it so deeply. Y : Do you have any illusions about what kind of state you will be when you reach their age? CY : I hope I can maintain the enthusiasm like the laoshi, including Zhang Fengyi laoshi, Chen Baoguo laoshi, and other laoshi. You watch them performed in the process, I think if at that age, if i was still acting, i think it is worth learning. Y : Replying comments from netizens. CY : (reading the comment)Β Q1 : Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, It's also the first time I'm laughing like this when I see the beating tidbits. "Is it really funny?" It is really funny, but it hurts in my heart because it's real,and it's also very interesting, this tidbit will be treasured forever by me. "Hmm, you have the final say, just be happy, but your heart won't have to hurt." Q2 : young Zhu Di and Si Feng also have been beaten, Si Feng is like a broken vase, young Zhu Di is an unbreakable water tank. "Unbreakable water tank,,young Zhu Di should be an iron tank, right? King Kong, Transformer." Hahaha,,π€£π€£π€£π€£ Qi Qi is so funny!! He is so expressive and lively!! Hmm, i don't think you are more calm when you grow up, but you are more adorable and cute day by day!! ππππππππ
I see you are very active on here. Are you fluent in Chinese? Or have you studied Chinese before?
Hmm i don't really active on twitter before though but i heard about that too, but because i don't really know what is really happening so i couldn't make any comment on that. For now, i welcome to any Cheng Yi fans out there, because we all here to spread our love for Cheng Yi. If there were some mistakes, let's just remind each other in a friendly way π₯° And i only use twitter link for additional information, because instagram is rather difficult to use for link for desktop setting.
He sneaked into the military and broke all kinds of rules along the way.
The 1st one because he used fake ID to join into the army. The 2nd because he directly confront the other general, being he is only "small soldier" there, it is pretty rude haha π
At this rate idg what Youku really is thinking, why even it takes forever to release this drama when:1. It's only…
Haha,, yes Youku, people are getting pretty impatient here! π π π Anyway, if the rumor about the drama is trying to get their hands for TV network airing is true, maybe that is why the airing date is still unknown, although the rumor is in Q2 (April-June) airing. Sharing airing rights could have some effect for Youku potential viewers. But for us, whoever gives english subtitles is the one we choose π
Yes Q2 please!!! April or May, let it be true!!! Anyway i hear either this weekend or next week, they gonna released something new!! πππ either a new OST or trailer π€ The official drama weibo has a hidden post. I miss my Fu Yun Shen,,π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί
I heard a rumour that they gonna release some kind of ost or trailer or something very soon!!! Have immortal samsara…
Yes i hear that too, because the official weibo of the drama has a hidden post. Because MV already released, so maybe new trailer? π€ππ And no, the drama hasn't got his license approval yet π
I don't think this drama will release so early.n I just heard that yangzi fandom will not support this drama.they…
No, it is not resolved, i hear they still continue to resist the drama and don't know why still pretty hostile to Cheng Yi π€·ββοΈ Oh well,, never mind them, we here are all excited for this drama to come. I hear the drama still looking for opportunity to air on TV network too. I hope we could see it this year, both season! πππ And i hear for Youku merchant event, they gonna released something new! Maybe new trailer? π€ππ
Haha yes, it is so weird thoughπ , but it is lucky too that they subs the non VIP videos, instead the VIP ones for these 3 eps π π i think the other eps, they also subs the non VIP onesπ π Eps. 4 = eps 1-2
Follow up interview, Qi Qi talks why his skin is so dark in the drama "The director said that young Zhu Di is so mischief/naughty, high spirited, play outside every day, you must have a dark skin. So they smeared with dark powder, both in the hands and face. Including when we went to inner Mongolia, getting sun and rain, you can't be there and still white. At the time we basked in the sun every day, including painting yourself so dark/black every day, in order to be more closer to the real character." Haha,, the real emperor Zhu Di does have a dark skin himself π But Qi Qi, although being smeared with dark powder all day long, it still couldn't hide your handsome feature ππππ https://video.h5.weibo.cn/1034:4758673365598333/4758673786668093
Thank you for translating the bits with Cheng Yiπ Itβs nice to watch him in a documentary? variety? programmeSuch…
Now Cheng Yi eps 1-3 the subs complete! And it is also for non VIP ππ Eps.1 = eps 0-1 (in the apps) Eps.2 = eps 0-2 Eps.3 = eps 2-1 I think other eps also have subs.
Follow up interview π€π€π€ So cuteeee!!! πππππ Qi Qi talks about being beaten in the drama (Imperial Age) "If you received this script, that in it you have to be beaten, then you couldn't tell laoshi to not hit (me). It is all for serving the role. Just do it how the characters are written and how the script is written. This is normal." Qi Qi so great!!π€π€ https://v.douyin.com/NchoGM6
He talks about "stealing" from the master, Chen Bao Guo & Zhang Feng Yi "I think they are all especially lovely. Because they don't give their juniors some pressure. "Kids, relax, relax~ Freely acting whatever you like." I just think it is more like an encouragement. I think at the time, i learn from the process of acting with laoshi, it turns out they played the roles so real. They are so natural/relax in their roles. At the time it was a chance to act with them, it is more like an awkward effort. I don't know how to subtract/being fully immersed. Maybe a newborn calve is not afraid of tiger (young people are not afraid of obstacles and are very brave). For me, it is a great inspiration, from the start to the end filming." Qi Qi is so cute impersonating both laoshi expression haha!! πππ and i think although it was 4 years ago, but your acting is already great!!ππ https://v.douyin.com/NckQjsX
And Qi Qi also talks how he feel now, "I still cherish the present because there are still roles and dramas to play. I am filming Draw The Lines now, with a lot of laoshi, including the directors and the team writers, i can learn a lot. You maybe learning in every drama. The acquired knowledge is different. As long you put your heart to shape each roles, surely you can learn something." Awwww admirable! Enthusiasm to learn new things and acting from your heart π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯° https://v.douyin.com/NcBPTUY
