Just now, we spoke of you having many friends by your side.
At which stage in your life did they appear?
Yes.
Like Bingyang, when did he come into your life?
Bingyang appeared during the Korean stage of my life,
when I was working in Korea.
It's quite a coincidence that I met him, actually,
we are fated* to meet, T : ‘yuan’ means fate or luck that brings two people together
because, back in Canada, I also happened to meet* him once, T : ‘yuan’ means fate or luck that brings two people together
we have met once before.
And coincidentally realized that we were colleagues together in Korea,
so we were fated to meet,
and that's how I met him.
You said that you happened to meet him once in Canada,
is it because you've eaten a meal together in some restaurant?
No,
he stayed over at my house for a day.
Huh?
Yeah, he lived here-
It was a coincidence that when he came over,
we were introduced through some mutual friends,
and it was a coinicidence that we met each other.
He stayed over at your house for a day?
Yes,
he was just staying in my house,
actually, it wasn't a day,
it was quite a period of time.
Even a period of time?
What is that saying, what do they say,
Something that happens this lifetime, is due to however many times you gazed back at him in your past life? T/N: The complete saying is “The 500 times you gazed back at him/her in a past life, in exchange for a brush past each other in this lifetime”. Stems from the Buddhist belief that what happened in your past life affects this lifetime.
How many times did you guys turn your heads to look in your previous lives
in order to have him come come stay at your house?
I don't know,
so I just think that we were really destined to meet,
maybe in our last lives, we were-
maybe we were-
I don't know either.
Lovers?
Which one of you said that they were lovers?
Don't be like this.
But your relationship is the type to become very good friends after your first meeting,
as in there was an attraction towards each other,
or were you guys the type to grow closer after some conflict?
No, we never fight,
I think the first time he saw me,
he definitely thought that,
"Eh, you're rather handsome, this dude."
And I was thinking-
No, I'm just joking.
You can continue on by yourself, continue by yourself.
No, no, no, no,
I can't continue with this,
I just thought that-
actually it was a mutual respect and admiration from the beginning.
I think that friends are all generally like this.
I think that, maybe,
he has his own type of charm and charisma that attracted me,
and I thought that maybe we could be friends,
and we started to really communicate.
Afterwards, it was really a coincidence to find that we were working together,
at the same place,
Korea,
so we really have especially good destiny.
So you guys have a lot of common understanding of music?
Yes.
A lot of interaction?
Yes, yes.
When you guys first met each other, how old were you guys?
We were around seventeen at the time.
Seventeen years old.
Would you guys do things like singing together?
No, I can't out sing him.
Is he really good (at singing)?
Better than me.
So back then, what kind of songs would you sing?
When you guys were younger, did you have any kind of songs you particularly excelled at?
Like nursery rhymes, etc..
You caught me out,
I don't sing nursery rhymes.
Don't sing nursery rhymes?
Yeah.
Yes, I- uh-
It's rather infrequent,
when I sang with him, it was more popular songs.
So more popular songs?
No nursery rhymes?
How about when you were little?
Would Mum sing some nursery rhymes to you?
What's the first nursery rhyme that you can sing?
When I was little,
it's stuff like
! T : Nursery rhyme to the tune of Frère Jacques
Did you guys all grow up with him?
Yes!
You all know.
I didn't,
when I was little, I preferred to hear that one,
Twinkle, twinkle, glimmering brightly, (T/N: he is singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, Chinese version)
The whole sky is covered in little stars. (T/N: he is singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, Chinese version)
The rest of it I forgot.
This is a song that all children know how to sing.
So when you were little, Mum would sing this to you?
Yes.
When I was little, Mum would sing this.
She would also tell me a story about a little horse crossing a river.
She kept telling me that one.
A little horse crossing a river?
She told me that one many, many times.
You want to share this with everyone? Do you guys want to hear?
Yes!
Mummy Wu, let's go. T/N: literally “Wu mama”
Take on the spirit of Mummy Wu in your body. T/N: literally “Wu mama”
When I was little, I really liked listening to bedtime stories,
and she just kept telling me this one.
Because my zodiac is the Horse,
so she kept telling me the story about a little horse crossing the river,
and then I would-
it's just-
I think it was about a little horse that wanted to cross a river,
but he saw that the currents were very fast,
so he was afraid to cross the river.
And he told his Mum,
"Mum, I can't cross this river,"
something like that.
Afterwards his Mum told him,
"You have to be courageous,"
"As long as you try, then you'll find that you can cross it."
And so that little horse j-just crossed it.
Just crossed it?
Yes, just crossed it.
So the story is finished?
Because the river was not actually very deep.
Story finished.
Amazing!
Too amazing!
You guys are really supportive.
Reaction Kings.
So whenever Mum got to this point, you'd have fallen asleep already, right?
Yes.
Fell asleep, fell asleep completely in peace.
Because your legs are long, right,
the little horse had long legs-
I think that there is no river that I cannot cross.
No river that you cannot cross.
So I think that this is really fascinating.
when you were little, your mum would tell you stories like these,
and when you're grown up,
you've become the character inside the story yourself.
Like composing songs,
beginning to act in movies,
right?
This time, you're collaborating with Director Xu Jinglei on this project.
Do you think acting is fun?
Fun.
Do you think acting is more fun, or is singing more fun?
They're both fun.
Yes, because acting is my dream,
and then singing is my
interest,
and is something that I'm especially passionate about.
So I cherish both of them.
Have you reached a bottleneck yet?
Because when you first begin filming movies,
you will definitely meet some directors with high standards,
or some staff with high standards.
Yes.
Would you be like,
"Today has been really stressful,"
"stressful enough to break out in acne,"
or "Tomorrow, I don't want to film anymore"?
Are there situations like this?
Conversely, there weren't,
but I think that there are definitely some times
where there is more pressure,
because this is my first time filming.
Perhaps in the beginning, I would have an adaptive stage.
There were many things I was unfamiliar with,
because I didn't know, behind the silver screen,
what kind of performance would I give.
I really needed the Director to instruct me,
she gave me a lot of help.
Is the Director a strict person on set?
No, no.
Director Xu is a very good person.
She's a very nice person.
Or is she only nice to you?
No, no,
she's very nice to everyone.
Do you have something to say?
No!
Nothing to say!
Really, she's great.
I think you have words to say right now!
I hope that Director Xu is not watching this video stream right now.
Sometimes she would be a bit strict with me.
For example, she would make me practice piano and cello,
and make me lose weight,
and-
make me do lots of things.
But they are all worth it.
Did she arrange for your schedule to be filled completely?
It was quite full, yes.
I accomplished much during that time.
You said that she would make you lose weight,
how did she make you lose weight?
How did she say that to you?
She wouldn't let me eat food!
Everyone is eating food,
and she would say,
"Wait a moment, you can't eat this."
After a while, I would go over to get some,
and then I'd get caught,
and she'd take it away again.
So it was like a battle of the wits and brawn?
Like a war game?
I would always be spotted by her,
because I'm too tall, you know.
When I go over to get food,
I'm a very big figure.
A huge silhouette over there,
just like a big bear.
So when you were filming, you couldn't eat,
was this a very agonizing thing?
I wasn't allowed to eat before the filming.
But after the filming, all my restrictions were lifted,
and I could eat again.
So do you think that this role was very challenging for you?
It was still quite challenging,
because he's a rather complex character,
but I can't tell you.
You still can't reveal anything, right?
Yes.
When we are filming,
this is something that happens a lot,
there is generally always some more intimate scenes,
kissing scenes,
and then scenes with physical contact.
Did you have any?
Were there any?
I can't tell you guys.
Let me rephrase this question.
Do you think that kissing scenes are more difficult to film,
Crying scenes!
or are crying scenes more difficult?
You guys want to hear about crying scenes?
You guys are too soft on him.
Are crying scenes more difficult or are kissing scenes more difficult?
I-I think…
Crying scenes, crying scenes.
They're both quite hard.
They're both quite hard?
There has to be one that was more difficult.
Which one did you NG more in?
Crying scenes were harder.
Crying scenes.
So about your kissing scenes-
My kissing scenes were-
You kissed very great, right, is that what you mean?
Wait! Wait!
He's an expert,
did you guys hear,
an expert.
It's really hot in here.
Do you want to strip it off?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Strip!
They want you to strip.
Later, later,
I'll do it later.
You guys are too shameless.
Come, explain yourself.
You think that crying scenes are more difficult.
In what regard were they difficult?
And you think that kissing scenes went by more smoothly,
in what regard did they go smoothly?
I didn't-
My kissing scenes were not-
I think that it's- it's-
Actually, because this was my first time acting,
so everything to me, is the first time I tried it.
Whatever.
Neither of them were difficult.
I'm very awesome.
My acting was especially terrific. (T/N: WYF gives up and is trying to take the easy way out in avoiding the question)
This is the first time I've had someone give up the moment they arrive.
I did all my scenes in one take.
All in one take?
Yes.
To me, there is no such thing as NG.
There's no such thing?
In my dictionary, there is no "NG".
Please cut out this footage and send it to Director Xu.
We will ask for reconfirmation with Director Xu.
Very awesome.
So what kind of girls would have the good fortune to be kissed by you?
In real life, in real life.
In real life?
What kind of girls catch your eye?
I like girls that are like angels.
Really?
You guys know this,
I frequently say this statement.
He likes the ones that are like angels.
It's a type of feeling,
I prefer the types that are clean.
And wears a full length white dress everyday?
No, no, no- And floats in through the window?
No, this would be rather terrifying at night.
I feel that (I prefer) girls that are rather kind,
and can understand my work.
If I really have to talk about it in reality,
I think it's quite a general thing,
the types you like, I like them, too.
Really?
Saying this now doesn't sound good.
I also like girls that are like angels,
and can float in from my window.
But actually, we went to interview your close friends.
What we heard from them is not quite the same to what you just answered.
Really?
We will go and seek confirmation.
Then he definitely is not a friend of mine.
Really?
We'll go see if he is actually your friend, okay? Wait a moment!
He is not my friend!
Let us take a look at the VCR.
His expectations are so high and varied.
Maybe he would like the kind that is more
sexy.
And they have to be pretty.
And their figure must be good.
And their personality must be good,
they must be kind.
And have shiny, white teeth.
So many standards.
Wow, I feel so wronged.
How was it, you want sexy girls?
What is "shiny, white teeth" supposed to mean?
Just like you, having shiny, white teeth.
"And then their figure must be good."
And "they must be sexy."
Is it?
We can't be friends any longer,
our friendship has been stretched to the limits.
Really,
we don't talk,
I don't have friends.
Is what he said the truth?
It's fake.
Fake?
Do you guys think it's real or fake?
It's fake!
Fake? Fake?
I only have you guys, really.
It really is fake,
I am definitely not a person like this.
You guys really know him well,
we still haven't watched the second half of the VCR.
Let's watch the second half, okay?
[caption][timing is a bit off] A real friend would speak the truth.
Truthfully, he likes the girls that are like angels the most.
The type of girl that is really pretty, really clean.
Him and I,
the types we like are similar.
Let's see which one of us can get her first.
Then I will have to stand by the side,
and reluctantly say,
"Ah… congratulations, congratulations…"
Real friends?
Good.
We can still be friends.
We can still remain friends.
Our friendship can still continue.
And they also said the same thing, angels.
You and Ray are the same,
you both like the same type of girls.
He copied me.
He copied you?
Have you guys encountered this kind of situation?
No, not yet.
We haven't encountered this yet.
You haven't encountered this yet.
He's really loyal.
He said that if you guys encountered this kind of situation,
he'll just stand there silently at the side and stare.
Really?
Yes.
Not bad.
In that case, we can still continue to be friends.
As long as they put you first, then it's good.
To have friends like these, it's really a happy thing.
When you're together, you guys can joke around,
play around a bit, cause a ruckus together,
when guys are together, you will go play ball, right?
Yes.
Was he handsome in that video of them playing basketball?
Handsome!
Thank you.
Are you still keeping up with basketball?
Yeah, but not that often.
Because I'm a little more busy,
so it's less frequent now,
but I would still go play ball with my friends.
But I already can't play as well as before.
You already can't play?
I already lost my skills.
I can't run anymore.
Maybe I'm getting old.
You just turned twenty four!
You haven't!
I haven't?
You haven't!
Okay.
Thank you, you guys.
I'm youthful again.
So the source of his energy is from you guys.
Yes.
You must keep giving him motivation,
constantly give him energy.
