Tập 2—Phần 1 FULL: Các hoàng tử của Joy of Life đoàn tụ tại bữa tiệc nướng
Which one is his clothes? Which one is his? Which one is his? I think it’s one of these two. Now film and TV shows want to recreate the clothes from that time. They’re very particular about it. Very meticulous. Okay. Thanks, bro. Step up, step up. Every household is decorated with lanterns and streamers. Every day is carefree and easy. Step up, step up. The new year will be super exciting. Happiness will be everywhere. Interlude music. I used to sing “Step Up.” But everything below my hips is already useless. It’s useless. Why aren’t the two of them here yet? I’m already feeling awkward acting here. Have Baozi and the others arrived? Isn’t this especially like greeting guests at the door? Sir, miss, please come in. So this is the legendary close-up shot. They’re here. Who? No. They’re here. They’re here. Why don’t you move the camera? You’re making me look like an idiot. They’re here. Not fooled at all. There’s someone else. There’s really a car coming through. It’s from Suzhou. You look really familiar. Have we met before? Why? You’re going to make me die laughing. Why? What are you doing? Why did you drive here yourself? Of course I drove myself. Why? Get in the car. Hello, superstar. I’m here to pick you up in person. Big brother. Have a good talk with Fan Xian. Came in person. So big. Came in person. Hurry up and get in the car. Get in the car. Came here in person. Hurry. Let’s go. Come on. Fasten your seatbelt. Let’s go. Have you been to Hengdian before? Have you ever stayed at the Yingdu Hotel? I stayed at the Yingdu Hotel for my very first show. Me too. Which year was that for you? Was it 2010, 2011, or 2012? Legend of Ban Shu. No one dared to ride the horse. Why leave the tripwire here? From now on, things like spear techniques and formations don’t need to be practiced anymore. Better practice how to catch and defend against assassins. You know? Because for me, it was 2006 or 2007. 2006. That early? My first show in my junior year. Third Brother and Fourth Sister. Back when you both left, one hadn’t married yet, and the other hadn’t come of age. Today, I will make the decision for you both. You’re actually coming out to film in your junior year. Of course I have to come out and film myself. No, it’s not like that. Back when we were in school, basically at that time, back then, I don’t know about now, that’s pretty good. Just a few days ago, I recorded that singing show. With Yao Xiaotang. She’s my junior. She’s also from the Central Academy of Drama. Yes, from the musical theater class. She’s twelve years younger than me. Twelve years younger than you? Let me do the math. You don’t need to calculate. No need to figure it out deliberately. What I want to say is, my junior is her class advisor. You’re basically a “teacher uncle” now. That’s true. It’s fine. You look young. Really? You take good care of yourself. I think it has to do with our good mindset has something to do with it. A good mindset? Is your mindset good? Okay. It’s still better by comparison. Not bad. Yeah, we have that one thing— Compared to others— A childlike heart, right? Yeah, a childlike heart. I still, you know— I even asked you yesterday. I said, you know, now— You’re slowly starting to move towards directing. I know you have the talent for it. Leading actor at the National Theatre of China. Come on, man. Stop. Leading actor at the National Theatre of China. Man. It’s not like I haven’t seen your plays. No, “top star,” hello. Stop talking. Don’t say anything. We’re here. Let’s go, let’s get out. This thing is really heavy. So heavy. Okay. Let’s go. Close the car door. Yeah. Don’t. I’ll pull it. Don’t rush. Wait a second. We still have to go up. This There’s movement. I heard something. I’m focused now. Is your back okay? My back is fine. Your back is fine. I’m okay too. Come on. Then let’s give it a try. Let’s try. Let’s try, just go straight. You two commoners, hurry up. Why is there still more? There are more stairs. Come on. I’ll move this one first. Are you hot? It’s okay, just warm. I suddenly feel very happy. We don’t need to wear it. Forgive me, my legs aren’t good. I can’t help you “princes.” I really want to help you lift it. But I… Forgive me, my legs aren’t good. You can’t get up, right? It’s okay if you can’t get up. Just rest for now. It’s fine. I’ll come help you. It’s fine. Then Do I have to help you up again? And let you fall again, bro? That take didn’t work. Come on Let’s do it again. I’m a “medical miracle.” Welcome, both “princes,” to our third season of “Friends, Please Eat.” I am Yang Pingping. What should we do? Should we bow or not? Right. Come on There are absolutely no lines. Since both “princes” are here today, I have decided to start a competition. What kind of competition? I heard you are both all-rounders. So I have decided to compete in several aspects. I’ll give you the red one. We soldiers Xinjiang lamb skewers I am a male actor from the National Theatre. My name is Liu Duanduan. I’m playing basketball with Yang Di. Who wants to join us? Help me out. Give me advice on how to escape a wedding. Let’s pick someone to be our Hexagon Treasure Star. Alright, let’s do it this way. Because the two of us are going to compete in the Hexagon Treasure Star Plan Such a long name. So we need to split into two teams. Let’s see who will join your team. Or we can just leave it all to fate. Okay, black and white match. Alright. Palm or back of the hand. Then let’s leave it to fate. Because of love. Hexagon Treasure Star. The first star is called “Singing Star.” We have twenty kinds of seasonings in the kitchen. Each team gets ten. Use singing to describe your seasonings. Splash, splash, it’s raining. Let’s see which team can guess more. Okay. Alright, you give the questions. As long as it’s related, right? Yes, but if it’s too far-fetched, it doesn’t count. If you’re too far-fetched, just give it to us. Then let’s just use those two lines. I will send you away. Where do we start? Which song? The most beautiful moments are when emotions run deep. You are the most precious. You are the most precious. Is it related to the lyrics, or… It’s related to everything. I will give you red roses. What kind of seasoning is this like? It’s a kind of feeling. It’s a feeling. Feeling. Adding it just gives a certain feeling. It really has a vibe. Feels like sesame oil. Sesame oil. No, that’s not it. That’s not the right idea. I will give you red roses. Fell in love. Sweetness, that would be rock sugar. Getting closer. White sugar. That’s right. Sugar. Let’s just sing this one first. Yeah, this one is too… There are a lot of songs like this. But which one should we sing? We’re preparing in advance. We’ve already thought of a third one. That’s impressive. Start with something abstract. Begin with the ocean. You sing. Here it comes. If the ocean could… Salt. Take away my… But that’s kind of close. There really is. Sea salt. No. Actually, the closest should be… I love bathing, my skin feels so good. Splash, splash, splash, it’s raining. Splash, splash, splash, the rain is crying. The two of us are on different wavelengths. Think more outside the box. This thing usually isn’t used much. Right. Are we really this clueless, Duanduan? No, you’re still smart. Look at these actions. Bathing. This is scrubbing. Body wash. Lathering. Foam. Actually, the first thing you said was close. Body wash. Bathing, kapok. Kapok flower. I can’t say if it is or not. I can’t say anymore. If you can’t guess, just say it. Body wash. Fish sauce. Fish sauce. You do one. Duanduan, you do one. Love me or him. Is he really better than me? Who are you struggling for? Love me or him. Wait, let’s analyze this first. What’s the real name of this song? This has nothing to do with the name. This song is sung by David Tao. So, David Tao… It’s not related to the singer either. It’s just related to the lyrics. And it might be a metaphor. Love me or… When desire is burning. It should be related to desire. It’s something very spicy. Is it chili? No. Love. Do you love me or him? Then come here. Let me give you another hint. Think about under what circumstances someone would say something like this. Do you love me or him? When two people are confronting each other. When they’re breaking down. When they’re about to break up. I’m about to reveal the answer now. Like this. I feel like they must have given a really far-fetched answer. It’s not far-fetched. It’s actually pretty reasonable. You’re my partner. And then I ask you, Do you love me or him? And there’s a bit of something else. Jealousy. It’s jealousy. Jealousy. So did we guess it? Yes. Thank you. Is it far-fetched? So basically, there’s a story behind it. Someone’s jealous. Do you love me or him? That interpretation works too. Come on, give us the “jealousy” quickly. You’re giving it so reluctantly. I’ve got a killer move. Okay. Let Di do something ruthless. The main thing is, this one doesn’t have a song. It doesn’t have a song. At least went around six times. We soldiers aren’t any different. Alright. We as Rock sugar. No, that’s not it. Or else, If I didn’t know the answer, I would not be able to guess it in a whole year. Is it that abstract? But there must be a connection. It’s related to this actor. So you guys don’t spend your whole life guessing. Right, I’ll tell you first, it’s an actor. He sings a soldier’s song. Because he wants the feeling of “Soldier Assault”. That kind of feeling. A tough guy, Xu Sanduo. A tough guy, Xu Sanduo. Sanduo. But not him. Don’t focus too much on Xu Sanduo. Is that right? Give another hint. It’s a work filmed in the past two years. Alright, that’s it. When I say it, you’ll definitely think you totally agree. Yes. Right? My hint is already very obvious. It’s really close. This is too obvious. How many characters? I won’t say anymore. I can’t say. I can’t tell. How many characters? I want to tell him. Should I just tell him? No. Don’t tell me. No, how many characters? A two-character seasoning. Five. Wait a second, bro. Wait. My brain hasn’t started working yet. Three. Two. Two. One. Okay, time’s up. He made a movie. Yeah, he has this movie. Fist. “In the Octagonal Cage” Star anise. It’s not a stretch, right? Wang Baoqiang’s “In the Octagonal Cage” Star anise. The seasoning is star anise. Didn’t guess it. Okay. We’re still discussing it. Suddenly, Fu Xinbo is joining the army. We’re soldiers. That’s too far-fetched. Right now, I really want to make a call. Call Brother Baoqiang and ask him. Do you agree with this? I think for… Actually, I was thinking… to make it a bit easier for them. But then I thought it wasn’t necessary. Now I’ve decided to make it harder. Alright, it’s our turn. It’s your turn. You guys go. My love for you was written before the Common Era. Deeply buried in the Mesopotamian plain. Jay Chou’s song. It can’t be related to our “octagon,” right? That’s too much of a stretch. No, it’s much more reliable than yours. Jay Chou. Jay Chou’s song. But why choose “Love Before the Common Era”? Then I’ll do another one. Yeah, do another one. Okay. A beautiful, touching, lovely woman. I got it. It’s related to girls. Isn’t it? A black sweater I don’t get your dark humor Black, the color black Is it black? The bubbles rising in a soft drink Why are there so many Jay Chou songs? Right You have to pick one song A song that’s really related to it Ours are all really related to it They’re all related This has nothing to do with the song It’s a bit related to Jay Chou Getting close Zhou One Jay Chou, guess a seasoning Then I’ll give you another clue Jay Chou sings “The Greatest Love of My Life” Jay Chou sings “The Greatest Love of My Life” It’s “The Greatest Love of My Life” Why is he singing this? Okay, five Jay Chou sings “Love” Four Three I really can’t guess Two I want to hear it Go ahead Light soy sauce Why “The Greatest Love of My Life” Sheng What’s Jay Chou’s English name? Chou I’m having a hard time too. I’m really speechless. Be honest with me. Do you think what I just said made sense? Not really. I think yours was even more abstract. I’d have to get inside your head to understand what you’re talking about. Alright, so that’s how you want to play? So that’s how you want to play? Let’s go all out. No shame at all. Yeah, I’m telling you, no shame at all. Are you in or not? You do it. Sing it a song. Like this. Let’s just be straightforward. Told you to turn it off, but you didn’t. You X X. Guan Xiaotong. You X X. Told you to turn it off, but you didn’t. You X X. Is this really abstract? Not abstract. Is it related to the singer of the song or… It’s not related to the singer. It’s just related to the song. You need to listen to where Di-ge put the emphasis just now. Told you to turn it off, but you didn’t. You X X. Turn it off. Either way is fine. Figure it out yourselves. Turn it off. I’m a bit hungry. I’ll bring the pancake over. Told you to turn it off, but you didn’t. You X X. How many characters? As long as you get two of the characters right, it’s fine. What? That’s it. This is tasty. How many characters in total, bro? Three characters. A three-character seasoning. I told you to turn off your phone, but you didn’t. You X X. I told you to turn off your phone, but you didn’t. No. Say it boldly. Sugar. That’s not it. Pepper powder. That’s not it. Pepper salt. That’s not it. Sea salt. No. No. I’ve already given up. Go ahead and say it. I just want to hear the answer. They’re just not bold enough. If he would just say it, you guys can check if it’s right. Shacha sauce. I admit defeat. No. I give in. Bro. This is really impressive. Bro. Let your little brother bow to you. Bro, I surrender. I truly admit defeat. I surrender this round. Pretty straightforward, right? This round, this one. Not only will I not take yours, You can pick any one you like. Mine—Bro, this round was beautiful. That was really good. This is a perfect score. Alright. So we got that Singing Star. Or that one. Whether you turn it off or not, you still won with the X. This one is as good as nine. Okay. We can finally cook now. Let’s go. Time to cook. But for this lunch, it’s also that hexagon one. The competition for the Treasure Star. You brought seafood. Everyone has to cook at least one seafood dish. Do you want to come take a look? The first scary thing is douzhi douzhi Have you tried it? But it’s better when it’s hot. It’s okay. Now it’s sour, not smelly. It’s not smelly. It’s sour, really appetizing. Come on, give it a try. I can already smell it. Really? How is it? Does yours have fried dough rings and pickles? No, seriously, the smell is pretty strong. You probably can’t drink it, right? Wait, is it spoiled? No, that’s just how it tastes. That’s just the taste. I… Did you just try it straight away? Aren’t you the Beijing representative? Is it okay? I’m not sweating anymore. I’m not sweating. I’m fine. So, are we done? Yeah, we’re done. Alright, okay. We’ve tried it. Thank you, Duanduan. Let’s take it out first. Let’s leave it with Jia Bing for now. Yeah, Jia Bing should be able to drink this. Here, Jia Bing. A bowl of douzhi for you. Bing should be fine with it. That’s the one you brought. But actually, the real one is that. This one. The others, right. Come on, let’s take a look. What’s this? Crab It’s still alive. Still alive. Still alive. Be careful, don’t pinch your hand. It shouldn’t be able to pinch, it’s tied up. What’s this? This should be sea intestine. A precious ingredient. And then there’s this, actually— Yunmeng fish Ribbonfish and all kinds of fish What else? Brought some noodles. We can make noodles today. And secondly, I brought this. Chili oil, just eat it directly. This is good. Garlic In Xi’an, we always eat noodles with garlic. Right. This Yunmeng fish I’ll grill these three. Just the Yunmeng fish. So good. Let’s go with this. What are you grilling? I’m grilling scallops. That’s convenient. What are you grilling? I’ll do sea intestine. Sea intestine is fresh. I’ll pour the sauce on the noodles in a bit. Perfect for welcoming two friends. Visiting our friends’ kitchen. And brought so many fish. So later we’ll have Coca-Cola to go with the whole fish barbecue. It’s a perfect match. Take a refreshing sip, and the barbecue is set. Then let’s carry this over. Let’s go, friends. Let’s go. The weather is so warm. The person I love. You all should be familiar with this kind of temperature. It must feel instantly familiar, right? The kind of heat in Hengdian. It’s not hot now. It’s not especially hot right now. Because I’m always here during the hottest time of the year. But today I feel especially happy. Because it’s my first time in Hengdian not filming. When it’s hottest for you, you also have to wear those big period costumes. I wore five layers in over forty degrees. Armor, big robes. It feels like wearing a big quilt. When Liu Duanduan was filming “Joy of Life Season 2,” his face was covered in sweat when it was hot. But after I lost weight, I stopped sweating. It’s okay if you’re thin. After losing weight, I suddenly stopped sweating. Where’s my sea intestine? Sea intestine. I’ll go look for it. The sea intestine might be inside. Sea intestine. It’s not here. Here it is. Let’s start with these, friends. The juice of the soul. Here’s your sea intestine, sir. Thank you. Sea intestines are usually stir-fried. Grilled sea intestines are really delicious. I had them grilled for me once in the Northeast. They were really expensive per skewer. Grilling sea intestines is actually quite particular. I’ve also tried grilled sea intestines once. Honestly, I’ve never grilled sea intestines myself. To be honest. Do you have to cut these open? No, I just grill them as they are. Just grill them like this. I don’t know. From what I remember, this is how all barbecue is done in Shaanxi. Really? Then you do it. If I cut it open, I’d just stir-fry it. I’m starting to sweat a little. Do we have a fan? What do you need? I’ll go get something to fan with. Sir, let me fan you. No need. No, I want to fan the skewers. Sir. Nice. Don’t move. The soul’s juice. Xinjiang lamb skewers. Come and take a look. Smells so good. Should we flip them? I can smell it. Big kidney skewer. Smells amazing. Doesn’t it smell good? It should be cooked. This chicken cartilage is ready to eat, everyone. That fast? Really. This is definitely cooked. Trust me. Is it cooked? It’s cooked, right? Let me handle it. Trust me. Right? Is it cooked? No. It’s just hot, not cooked. Is this piece not cooked? I just ate a skewer. Anyway, I’ve already eaten it. I swallowed one. Good thing I didn’t eat it. This one isn’t cooked, grill it a bit longer. No. Grill it a bit longer. It’s just hot, not cooked. This is definitely cooked. Get away. Bro. Get away. Trust me. How did you grow up? I won’t hurt you. I don’t believe you. Really. Get away. I’m really putting my life in your hands. Get away. Really. Really. I won’t. I’ve already tried trusting you once. I really think it’s good. It feels so good. Just grill four skewers. I don’t know what sea intestine tastes like. I know. How do you tell if it’s cooked? Let me do it, it’s fine. This chef’s skills only go this far. Chef. Let me do it. Xi’an barbecue. Sprinkle some salt. Add some cumin. Add some chili powder. You can tell Baozi really knows how to grill. Opened a shop in Xi’an. Opened a shop. No. But I do eat at night markets a lot. This is really delicious. Is it ready to eat now? No, not yet. Let me have a taste. Wait, it’s not done yet. Actually, based on my experience eating kidney, it’s ready to eat like this. Sir, I’ll fan it for you. I really picked a great spot. Let’s see if the fish cooks first or if I do. Alright, I’m sprinkling the seasoning. It’s ready. The kidney is ready. Okay. I’ll try one first. Try one. It’s definitely good. Trust me. Absolutely. But it’s missing something. It’s just missing cumin powder. Cumin powder. It’s in chunks. Chunks. Can’t help it. Big kidney. You try it first. I’ll try. I think it should be fine. Feels like it. It’s good. It’s really good. It’s done. It’s good. Di, are you eating? Are you eating chicken wings? I’ll skip for now, you guys eat. Saving some room for oil-splashed noodles. You also like to prepare the side dishes first, right? Otherwise, it’s inconvenient for you. Right. It slows things down. Yeah. Fu Xinbo is from Xi’an. Today I wanted to make him oil-splashed noodles. Then top it with tomatoes. Cook the noodles. Wait for the noodles to cook. The meat is ready. The meat is ready. Looks amazing. It has great color, aroma, and flavor. Alright. Let’s have Brother Duan be the waiter. I’m honored. Brother Duan, help us serve. Serve with all your strength. Did you grill this? I grilled it. Try a skewer. It’s pretty good. The fire underneath is really strong. Bring the scallops over here. Who’s grilling? Duan, it seems you can grill scallops on this side too. I feel like the fire is really strong on this side. This fire is perfect. Okay. Come on, use this fire. Let’s just do this directly. If we put this here, do we need to remove the shell? It’s fine, just grill it. As long as they’re not touching, it’s fine. Alright. Just put it here. Lend me some garlic. You really used a lot of garlic. Especially the first batch. Yeah, so let’s share the first batch with the fourth. Let everyone have a share. Add some chopped green onions. This is everyone’s achievement together. Together and united. Bro Bro What’s up? Nothing. Dancing. Battle. What other popular dances are there? Recently? The funny kind. How do you do that? How do you do it? How do you do that one? Like this. Is it done like this? Is this how you do the dance, Di-ge? How do you dance it, Di-ge? Don’t you start like this? Go, go, go, go. But I can’t do this dance well. It’s just one, two. Da da da. Okay, this one. Let’s try it. Five, six, seven, eight. Then… Right, turn this way. And there’s this one too. Is this how you mention it? And then in the end, I have no idea what it’s for. Very impressive. You guys haven’t done this dance yet? No, we haven’t. It’s been out of trend for a long time. And you still haven’t done it. This one is already… I haven’t seen anyone do this dance in ages. I don’t even know what’s popular right now. Just whatever that app recommends to me. It’s always outdated stuff. Don’t tell me what you’ve seen lately is… Spraying perfume at the camera? “Love is like blue skies and white clouds”? I haven’t even seen that. That’s just too… So annoying. That’s from 2019. Tell us something you’ve seen recently. The freshest meme. You think that’s a meme? Your transformation video. That one of mine. Your “remixed” one. The one you did in that hotel. That thing… And you kept remixing it for people. Not bad. Ready to show your face and start roasting. It looks, smells, and tastes amazing. Absolutely incredible. Who’s eating with that big bowl? This is so satisfying. Come on, guys, let’s go. Then let’s just carry it ourselves. Hold your own bowl. Thanks, Zheng. So delicious. Delicious and filling. Add some more sauce. Two in one. Smells so good. It’s to die for. Come on, friends. Before we start eating, let’s pair it with our barbecue buddy, Coca-Cola, and have a toast together. A bite of barbecue and the party’s on. Let’s go. Cheers! The cold drink is so refreshing. Finally, I can enjoy these noodles. So tasty. Excellent. If you add tomatoes, it’s even more balanced. Is it that kind? Yeah. Then I’ll add some. To be honest, at lunchtime, if I eat as much as I want, with a whole bowl like this, I alone Can you still do that now? Actually, I still can now. But I have to control myself. That’s impressive. Yeah. I used to think I was the type who could eat enough at a buffet to get my money’s worth. Now I definitely don’t eat buffets. I get full right at the start. Really. Next, let’s try that scallop. Okay. You haven’t eaten it yet either. I haven’t eaten it yet. Let’s make sure it’s cooked first, bro. It’s definitely cooked. Let me smell it first. It smells really ocean-fresh. I’ll give it a taste. Is it cooked? It’s cooked. It’s okay. Alright. But it’s just as salty as you always make it. Really? Hurry up and eat. We all have to try it. I’ll have one. Very fresh. Really? You eat that one. I’ll eat this one. Fresh. Fresh. The key to this dish’s success is this. The garlic and the steamed fish soy sauce. And the chopped green onions. And the person who sprinkled the green onions. Alright. Enough chatting. It passed. Remember this taste. Next, let’s try that one. Sea intestine. I want to eat sea intestine. Try it. Very fresh. Delicious. If it’s good, have another. Have another. Delicious. Not bad. It’s delicious. It’s really tasty. Tastes good. It’s okay. This is good. Come try this fish. This is Yunmeng fish. Is this the legendary Yunmeng fish? Try some from the outside. The texture of its meat— —it doesn’t absorb the flavor at all. Pretty tasty. It’s good. I’ve never grilled fish before either. Yeah, it’s excellent for a first try. You’re talented. It’s quite good. Not bad. Success. It’s good. Let’s start voting. If you think someone’s dish is the best, just point directly at them, okay? Then we should close our eyes. Close your eyes, and on three, point to that person. Okay. Three. Two. One. Alright. Open your eyes. You can open your eyes now. Then you two are on the same team. Two versus two, it’s a tie. It’s a tie. Each team gets one point. Each team gets one point, that’s fine. Alright. Each team gets one point. Okay. Today, since you two are here, we have something special here. This is called the “fish stick.” Yu Qian. Fish stick. There are various messages inside. There are some topics to talk about on them. Here, let me shake one. This one is good. Black fish stick. A misunderstanding you’ve experienced. A misunderstanding. I have one, let me share mine first. I was online, There was a clip of me online. When I was recording a show before, Both sides competed to sing songs with people’s names in them. I sang a song by Jay Chou. The King of Babylon issued the Code of Hammurabi. I said the person’s name was the King of Babylon. Sister Liu Tao was laughing so hard in the back. Laughing. She even laughed so hard she fell down. Netizens said You think Liu Tao was just laughing at Yang Di for singing this song in a funny way? No They were laughing at Yang Di for mistaking the King of Babylon as a person’s name The real person’s name is Hammurabi Liu Tao was laughing at his lack of knowledge Later I said, really? One day, I finally met Sister Liu Tao So I asked her Sister Tao, can I ask you something? When you laughed at me back then What were you laughing about? She said it was because you sang in a funny way It wasn’t like what the netizens said at all How could she have heard it that clearly? I don’t think Sister Tao would do that It’s fine for her to laugh at me It’s just that She really wasn’t laughing for that reason I really regret not recording a video with Sister Tao that day to help clarify things for me Hammurabi I do know he was the one who made that code of laws That’s better This was a bit of a mix-up. I’m Liu Ruirui. Liu Ruirui. I called your name wrong. Liu Ruirui. It’s always Liu Ruirui. I might get it wrong. Sometimes when I’m out, I call out Bai Kainan. Bai Kainan. I even get annoyed. No. You must get names wrong too, right? Daniel Wu. No. That’s impossible. Daniel Wu. No. But I’ve experienced I’ve really been through that kind of pretty awkward mix-up. Once, when I was with some people in the industry, having dinner with some seniors, Director Feng Xiaogang was there. I really like him. I had a great conversation with the director. He’s really approachable, you know? I just felt there was a big brother sitting next to me. I kept expressing my admiration for him. He was really nice about it. Then, when we were leaving, we exchanged contact information. Still excited, I sent him a message. Director, really, I was so happy to meet you today. I really love your work, “Keep Cool.” Then I realized he didn’t direct that film. There are so many works by Director Xiaogang. And you just had to mention this one. It’s so awkward. This one is really, you know… It’s really embarrassing. Sorry, Director Xiaogang. I didn’t mean it. Did you ever run into Director Xiaogang again? No. Just that one time, never again. No. And you didn’t get to work together either? No. Why don’t you check now? See if he deleted you. Did he? I’ll try. No way. Let me tell you how to check if someone deleted you. Whether they deleted you or not. You transfer one yuan to them. When it prompts you to enter your password, that means they haven’t deleted you. Really? Really. But don’t actually send the one yuan. It’d be weird to randomly send someone one yuan. No. He replied. He did reply. No, I actually talked to Director Xiaogang again later. We talked about other things. He pretended not to see it. I’ll delete the stuff. Yeah, help me delete it. What? Who deleted you? Me. I just deleted you. And it turned out like this. Now I can’t transfer money. Please confirm your friend status with him. Is it normal? Good idea. Then you don’t have to send those mass messages. Just test it. Add me back. Of course. What else? Not approved. Try again. I’m here now. Shake. What kind of fortune? Which fortune? Slacking fortune. What’s the most unexpected way of slacking off you’ve seen? Ways of slacking off. The most unexpected… For example, when you’re at work, ways of slacking off. I never slack off at work. Never slack off. What about now? Some things don’t really count as slacking off. But it’s in a special way. For example, when filming in Hengdian, when it’s especially hot, and they’re only filming the upper body, do you let your lower body cool off? Liu Duanduan doesn’t even wear pants below. It’s true. I’m not lying. Right? You tell them yourself. The skirt is really wide. Not wearing pants underneath, just bare. But not completely bare. Still wear a little something. Legs are exposed. And every time before getting into costume, because everyone has to rehearse, and then after that, put on the costume. That’s just a water suit. When rehearsing above, it feels like walking around a bathhouse. He’s more experienced with this. I still wear pants. Hello, senior. How could I be experienced, senior? Come, have a seat. Okay, you can sit now. I touch… What fish skewer? Octopus skewer. Which ones do you have? Which ones? Which ones do you have? Sorry We’re all stage actors, okay? That was just a joke earlier. What kind of octopus-like multitasking experiences do you have? Handling several things at once. I really do. How many things were you juggling at the same time? Coincidentally, when I was on “Shine! Super Brothers,” I was also filming a drama. I was in Shanghai. Every day I was running back and forth like that. After filming, I had to go practice dancing. Practiced for a long time. And this time with “Call Me By Fire 4,” it was the same. In the middle of it, I took on another drama. So I had to start filming again. When that drama wrapped, this side picked up again. When the drama in Hengdian wrapped, I immediately started on this one. At that time, my head was about to explode. I could handle it. I couldn’t handle it. I forced myself through it. I really couldn’t take it. You know, their dance practice, that classroom? He didn’t go back to the dorm. There’s still some distance, right? A few times, I didn’t go back. I just slept in the dance studio. Slept right on the floor. Slept with my makeup on. That really is too intense. I’ve experienced that before too. The year I filmed “Brotherhood of Blades II: The Infernal Battlefield,” At the same time, I was also filming something called “Ordinary Days in Splendid Times.” I was also working on a small web series at the same time. A short series. And because of the web series, there was no fixed schedule back then. Sometimes we’d film until four or five in the morning. It would take an hour to get home, so I’d get back around six. Then I’d have to leave home for Huairou to shoot “Ordinary Days in Splendid Times.” After finishing filming there, I’d take a car to Hengdian at night. It was nonstop, without any breaks. That period was really unforgettable. But I’m also grateful for the perseverance I had during that time. It allowed me to be seen by more people. I just really Your main job is as the lead actor at the National Theatre of China, and acting in films is your side job, right? Isn’t that right? You manage to do both. Isn’t that right? Right? Can we put it that way? I’m happy. Thank you. I can’t keep up. I can’t keep up. I’m the type because at first, I wasn’t online making a lot of videos? Even now, I don’t have my own publicity. Especially for a lot of the things I film, I still edit them myself. I really do the editing myself. Because I think that sense of internet humor is hard to explain to others. For example, if I film a scene, maybe I accidentally spit while talking. If someone else edits it, they would probably cut out the part where I spit. But I think that is actually funny and real. I even wipe my mouth or something. I think that kind of thing is actually what the viewers really like. So even now, for some of the longer videos, I really don’t have time to polish them. But I still have to do the rough cut myself. There are often times like when I work late the night before, and the next day I take the high-speed train somewhere. All my colleagues are sleeping, and I’m the only one still editing. I have a feeling that maybe in three to five years, you’ll be a big director. Yeah, I think a lot, it’s always like that. To be honest, I’m really not that good at multitasking. Because I just can’t do it. So I try to avoid situations like that. Because I’m the typical kind of person who, if I’m frying eggs and making a call, either the eggs get burnt or I drop the phone in the pan. I really admire you all for being able to work like that. All for the sake of life. This isn’t just for making a living. It’s a skill. It really is a kind of skill. But I think Ah Zheng is actually quite right. Because what he said, along with what Baozi just mentioned, is also about making a living. It reminds me of something. Sometimes, we are actually doing more things. And while we’re doing them, it’s so that one day, we can focus more on the thing we want to do most. Right. No matter if you take on a lot of roles, one day, I just want to seriously do the thing I love most, and do it well. I think no matter what line of work you’re in, the process itself your own happiness is actually the most important thing. When I’m singing, I especially love enjoying the stage. I enjoy the interaction with friends. Yes. I think it’s actually a lot like having a meal together with everyone. The main thing is being with good friends you really connect with. I feel like no matter what you eat, you’ll feel especially satisfied. Yes, that’s true. But the prerequisite is having someone willing to eat with you, a good companion who understands you. That, I understand even more. It’s like having barbecue, you just need Coca-Cola. This refreshing companion. Coca-Cola with barbecue is simply the perfect match. A perfect match. So I hope that in the future, whatever you do, you can always find the perfect companion. Come on, my good friends, let’s have a toast together. Cheers. With a refreshing sip, the barbecue is set. Let’s go. In a moment, we’ll be competing for another star again. The Friendship Star. Since you guys are usually in Hengdian, you probably have a lot of friends. It’s okay. Do you often meet up to play basketball or badminton? Right? You have sports buddies. Yes. We’re going to have a competition soon. It’ll be limited to one hour. Let’s see who we can call over in Hengdian. We’ll have a basketball game. Do you have anyone who can play basketball with us? The important thing isn’t playing basketball. It’s about who can call more people. Getting people to join. Right. I’ll post on my Moments. Yes, Moments. Tell them I’m Liu Duanduan, a male actor from the National Theatre. I’m playing basketball with Yang Di. Who wants to join us? My Moments has 2,900 people. No one. My more than 2,900 friends are not in Hengdian. That’s a pity. Di, try calling people. How do I do that? Dige We’re going to have a basketball game later. Yongqi is here. Hello. Hello. Shoot directly. Duanduan Liu Duanduan is going all out. One-on-one. This is our last point. I’m tired. What we’re making is called “fireside grilling.” It’s almost a completely natural way of cooking. I’ll make a “Winter to Spring” meal for everyone. Just looking at it Chef It looks so appetizing. Looks good. Dip it in this sauce. So satisfying. Delicious. So tasty. Delicious. It’s amazing. Heard in Hengdian the most outrageous stories from other crews. I heard the lead actress in the crew next door was replaced. Sometimes you hear about crews that just disband in the middle of filming. When I went out, my legs were actually shaking. I wondered if I had offended someone. That assistant director was right next to me, saying, “What kind of acting is that?” “Do you even know how to act?” What? Before I could finish, he just started yelling at me. He said, “Can you even shoot this?” “If you can’t, then get out.”
