🥝s did a good job considering how rush this was. Only 2 days notification while other artists get notified half a month or several months in advance to promote and boost the sales.
This is starting to feel performative. If y'all check other pages with the same issues, the reaction is nowhere near this loud, nothing like the pile on in this drama's comment section. You don't see the same accounts that are yapping endlessly here in those drama pages. The inconsistency is hard to ignore as these accounts don’t bother to bring the same energy to other shows with similar issues. This really makes the reaction here feel selective rather than principled.
And when people only show up when it’s a drama with a popular cast especially the ML, it’s fair to question how consistent their stance really is. You can't blame fans for thinking they have hidden agendas and to wonder if there’s more driving this than just the issue itself.
Q: “We’ve picked a few songs that match #YangWujian’s character. Can you choose which one fits best?” * 牵丝戏 is playing*
#HouMinghao: “I actually thought of another song, ‘Lonely Warrior.’ It really fits this character. I tend to focus more on the lyrics, because a lot of those traditional-style songs have very memorable melodies. But when it comes to Yang Wujian, I think the lyrics of ‘Lonely Warrior’ match him the best. Yeah, in my mind, he’s that kind of figure, a lone hero.”
Q: “Could you give us a little treat and sing a few lines?”
Hmh: “No, no, no, no, no. It’s Eason Chan laoshi’s song, I’ll just admire quietly from afar. Other songs are fine though. When we have OSTs later, this program will definitely have more promotional events. There will definitely be more opportunities, right? We must have other interviews, I’ll sing it then if that’s okay. I’ll stick a flag (make a promise), when our OSTs come out, I’ll sing a whole song for you. I’ll sit right here and sing for five minutes. Really, I mean it, as long as you’ve got the time!”
Q: “If you have to use a song to describe your relationship with fans, what would it be?”
#HouMinghao: “Getting this deep? The must-sing song, my fans all know it. It has to be ‘Rainy Day.’ It’s kind of like a promise between me and my fans.”
Q: “A couple of days ago, you brought a new skin from ‘Game for Peace’ to life. It looked amazing and really went viral. A lot of players even said your visuals are ‘model-level,’ like you stepped straight out of the game and joked that you’re the strictest ‘father’ in the cosplay world. Do you have any response to that?”
#HouMinghao: “Well…affirmations about looks are better left unsaid by myself. Affirming it myself…”
Q: “Then could you share a bit about your cosplay experience this time?”
Hmh: “Sure. For me, I didn’t really treat it as cosplay. Of course, professionally speaking, it’s called being a coser, but in the end, the goal is to present a living, breathing character to the audience, not just a two-dimensional image. Since it becomes three-dimensional, one aspect is matching the physical appearance and the other is understanding the character’s setup.
This character is a ‘Wolf King’ in the game. His identity and role matter a lot. I also thought about what kind of voice I should use for his lines, and how to shape his expressions and gaze. At his core, he wants to protect his homeland. He’s a bit like a lone hero too, leading a group, fighting against enemies, carrying that kind of presence and responsibility.”
Q: “If you were to speak in #YangWujian’s voice and prepare a ‘reverse support’ sign for fans who love him, what would you write?”
#HouMinghao: “So if everyone is complimenting me, how should I respond, right? Okay. Then I’d say, thank you all for loving Yang Wujian… and I’ll treat you to candied hawthorns!”
Q: “Is there anything you’d like to say to viewers who are looking forward to #Immortalis?”
Hmh: “First of all, it’s a suspense drama. It features a wide range of rich settings, props, and characters, constantly delivering strong visual and auditory impact and a fresh experience. But beyond the suspense, there’s also a lot of emotional depth between the characters. For example, the bond of friendship within our trio, and how we grow together. Each character becomes more layered and fully developed as the story progresses. The three of us evolve from caring about small, personal affections to embracing a greater love for the world. It’s a suspense story with real heart and humanity. I really hope everyone will support it.”
#HouMinghao: “Personally, I prefer a slightly fresher, more minimal look in my daily life. Comfort always comes first for me. But since today’s occasion is a bit more formal, I went with a clean and polished style.”
Q2: “We know you have been very busy lately. Fans also hope you can share more of your daily life. If you can have an entire day, what does your ideal perfect day look like?”
#HouMinghao: “A perfect day would start with getting a really good, full night’s sleep.
Actually, your question just gave me a sudden idea, rather than just having one day off, I’d rather have multiple versions of myself. That way, on a day off, my ‘Beijing version’ could go practice singing, my ‘Shanghai version’ could work on dancing, and my other ‘versions’ in different cities could read scripts. One version could spend the whole day sleeping, like a full 24 hours, while another could play basketball or ride a motorcycle.
The main thing is, I feel like time is incredibly precious right now.”
Q3: “We know that besides playing basketball, you also enjoy working out. You’re very passionate about sports and is highly disciplined. So for you, does that discipline help you become a better actor and is it also a way to cope with stress?”
#HouMinghao: “I think it’s both. To me, exercise is just a part of life. Once it becomes a habit, you don’t really think of it as something you do to become a better actor or to support your work. Instead, I feel that having exercise in my life makes me happier. It’s a lifestyle for me and through it, I’m able to become a better me.”
Q4: “This year marks the 10th anniversary of your transition into acting, and today is also the 20th anniversary of Madame Tussauds Shanghai, where you’re unveiling your wax figure. Does this moment feel like an ‘anchor point’ for your past self?”
#HouMinghao: “I think it counts as an encouragement to myself. First of all, I feel very honored to be part of Madame Tussauds on such a meaningful occasion, my 10th debut anniversary. It’s a real privilege, and I see it as a small recognition of my past ten years in the entertainment industry.”
Q5: “Fans are really curious. When might we see you in another modern drama?”
#HouMinghao: “I think it doesn’t necessarily have to be a modern idol (romance) drama. Of course, I’m very open to trying different kinds of roles, whether that’s in terms of character setup or time periods. If the right opportunity comes along, I’d definitely be interested in doing a modern drama again.”
i ate so much this month. he really dotes on his fans. what a wonderful way to end the month!
I'm all for getting fed but what rubs me the wrong is why are they just announcing this now. Other artists are notified half a month in advance or several months in advance to promote the magazine and boost the sales 🧍.
