-
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\N: ‘yuan’ means fate or luck that brings two people together
-
because, back in Canada, I also happened to meet* him once,
T\N: ‘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
-
<Two Tigers>!
T\N: Nursery rhyme to the tune of Frère Jacques
-
<Two Tigers>
T\N: 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.
-
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.
-
<What kind of girls does Wu Yifan like?>
-
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.
