I have 2,900 friends on Moments. Are you guys posting it on Moments? I feel like… It’s kind of awkward, right? Yeah, a little. I kind of want to feel awkward. But I can’t post this address. I want to feel awkward. I really want to feel awkward. Because after half an hour like this, when no one shows up, that feeling… is great. That’s peak variety show energy. I’m definitely posting it. I’m posting this right now. I’m mainly just taking a screenshot to post. Is there anyone over here? Yes. There should be. Check if there’s anyone over there. See if there’s anyone over there. No one.

This one. Such a tall teacher. Now you see how I build my connections. By sheer effort. You can drink Coca-Cola. You can have Coca-Cola later. Don’t tell me it’s all yours. It’s for our group. Then Duanduan and I will play against you. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, right? We gave you a chance to find people. But you didn’t go. Jealous, kid? Jealous, envious, and resentful. Don’t resent. How about this. Is there any brother who wants to volunteer? To join them? Let’s send two of us to their side. Who isn’t very good at playing? I’m the worst at it. The worst player should go over. Then I’ll go. Go ahead. I haven’t played in years. Alright, then you join their team. Okay. Us. The two of us, plus those two guys. I heard you guys are short on players. Yeah, we’re missing someone. Is this the coach? Yes. Then we need to take someone back. No. He’s injured. Alright, our team… …is complete. Let’s go! Talk some trash. Talk some trash. There’s even a trash-talking round. Come on, Yongqi, say something. When I see you guys, it’s like looking at an empty street in the morning. Not a soul in sight. To deal with you, just four eyes and three fingers are enough. Three fingers are enough. Can you still play? I can do it with just one finger. Each team sends a representative for rock-paper-scissors. Rock-paper-scissors. Come on, Yongqi, you do it. Use those three fingers. Okay. He beat me with just two fingers. Whichever team reaches ten points first that team wins, right? Did I pass it wrong? Not on the same team. Not on the same team. We’re on the same team. Did we figure out who’s on which team? Wait, I can’t tell anymore. The main thing is who’s teamed up with whom. A few of the guys look the same. The ones wearing glasses. The five of us. Right. The five of us. Serve! Nice spin on that. No need. We shouldn’t have given them a player. You have to practice this, otherwise it won’t work. I haven’t played in a long time. Yongqi. Your turn. Yongqi. Come on! Go, Yongqi! Let’s go! Yongqi. Fu Xinbo. It hurts all over. It’s over. In a bit. Go, Yang Di! It’s over. Scored. Impressive. Come on! Nice shot! Nice shot! Yongqi. Cool. Go for it! Great shot! It’s over. Scored. Awesome. Fu Xinbo, give us one! Shoot directly. Fu Xinbo. I’ll be so embarrassed. Come on. Let’s go. One-on-one. Let’s go. Go. Nice shot! Keep it up! Duanduan. Slow down. Liu Duanduan is going all out. So fierce! You can do it! One-on-one. Go, Duanduan! So close. I’m tired. I’m tired too. Call it off. Call it off. Didn’t call it. I need a helping hand. Help me out up there for a bit. Who’s the best? It’s been a long time since I played. It’s really been ages since I played. Bring in a substitute. Hurry up and help me out up there. Yongqi. Nice shot. Our last point. I can’t accept this. I can dribble now. Just kidding. I saw it wrong. Go, Dige! Dige, you’re up! Go, Yang Di! Nice shot. Did I just break the rules? Pretty much. You traveled. But it’s fine. Count it. I’m exhausted. Tired. To the friends we invited today, let’s give each person a can of Coca-Cola to drink. Thanks to our cheerleaders. Can you Can you help me take a photo? A life photo—the cool kind. I want to take one of those where I throw it backwards and it goes in. Sure. I don’t want this photo. Push it up a bit more. Hold on. Keep his legs together. Wait a second. It’s really high. What am I supposed to do with this photo of my life? Reach out your hand. A bit more. Come on, reach higher. Reach where? Reach for the hoop. The hoop. Right away. The hoop. That’s right. Here’s the ball. The hoop. Yeah. Hold on. Move aside. Di Ge. Di Ge. Di Ge, pull your legs in. Di Ge, like this. Di Ge, like this. Yes. I don’t want this photo. Give me a table. Should I jump down? I’m a bit scared to jump. Catch me right away. Okay. Scared me to death. What kind of life is this? (photo) You’ll definitely look handsome. Okay. Shall we head back then? Let’s go back. Me, I… That super sloped shoulder. Sitting in the middle is best. Playing ball is still fun. It’s nice to work up a sweat. At that moment, I really wanted to win. Welcome to our… friends’ kitchen courtyard. This is so comfortable. Very comfortable. Yongqi’s first time here. First time. First time here. Welcome. Yongqi has wrapped up filming too. Congratulations on finishing. Thank you. Let’s just get started right away. Yongqi, let me show you around first. Take a look around. This is our… Coca-Cola Refreshing Grill Master. I’m the Coca-Cola Refreshing Grill Master. Brother Bing. Say hi to Brother Bing. Brother Bing. You don’t have hands. Brother Bing has lost weight, look. I drink sugar-free every day. Today I’m planning to make something. Because today’s theme is fish. They brought a lot of fish. I’m planning to make that kind of dish. How about a hearthside roast? What do you think? Have you heard of it? Or is it also… Is it also grilled? It’s grilled. It’s also grilled. What’s wrong? Okay. Alright. That’s awesome. I really want to eat it. Today I brought our family’s sausages. I’ll grill them for us to eat. I’ll go make a “Winter to Spring” meal for everyone. You make the flatbread. Later I’ll get those beans. I’ll stir-fry eggs with soybean paste. Sounds good. Yongqi, let’s lift this stove together first. Okay. Let’s put it in the front. One, two, three, go. Are you moving? I’m moving. Alright. Okay. Yongqi, here you go. Yongqi, here you go. You haven’t seen this before, right? Next time a guest comes, have him take off his T-shirt and put this on. It’s just a little bonus for everyone. Why don’t you take it off? Aren’t I in this episode? You’re the one who should take it off the most. It was your idea. So you should demonstrate for everyone. No. Duanduan, you do it. What? Actually, you know. If you do this, it’ll definitely be a huge highlight. But think about it, there’s no need to go that far. Mainly, it’s because my, you know… I haven’t worked out. I’m married. As long as you’re not married, you can show it off. If you’re not married, it’s fine. If you’re not married, you can show it. That’s the highlight. Him, right. The newcomer should really “sacrifice” a bit. Highlight. Spearfishing. Let’s start spearfishing now. Yongqi. Do you usually cook? I do, sometimes. Alright, that’s good. Yongqi Put this corn at the very bottom. Okay. Then it won’t slide down. Let me rinse this corn a bit. But we probably won’t eat the one at the bottom, right? What if someone does eat it? They eat everything. What water are you collecting? This water. Like this? What’s wrong? I can’t watch this. I didn’t poke my own eye. Look at mine. I know. Even poking its eye, I… It’s fine. It’s been gone for half a year. Gone for half a year? Has it really been half a year? We just do the whole thing like this. Go in through the eye. Come out through the heart. Then go in through the lungs. Use this base for squid as well. How is it? Doesn’t it look like a lady? Wearing a dress. I’m here with Di. This works. It’s beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Stick it in. That corn really came in handy. It can be used to hold it in place. That’s fine. Sichuan sausage. We also use this fireside roasting method. To roast it. Roast it until it sizzles and oozes oil. What we make is called fireside roasting. It’s almost a completely natural cooking method. It’s also a method that many people like to use at home for making barbecue. Cook it slowly. It’s a process of slowly waiting for the food to be ready. Let me boil a pot of water for you. You can mix it in later. Okay. The flatbread turns out really, really good. Okay. Fu Xinbo Do you know how to handle bamboo shoots? Just roughly on the outside. Actually, you just need to cut it. I know. But where do I cut it? Just cut it down the middle. Be careful not to cut your hand. No one cuts things the way you do. Are you okay? I’m fine. Step aside, let me do it. Let him cut it. Is it bleeding? Let me see. It’s fine. He’s fine. There’s no bleeding. You should take him to the hospital soon. Otherwise, it’ll heal up soon. Duān, you know. Come here. Like this, sweetheart. This way, you’ll never cut your hand. That’s right. It’s been a long time since I last cut anything. Back when I first started acting, I always played tough guy roles. Really. I didn’t know that. You didn’t know I was really buff? I used to work out a lot back then. Crew cut. Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). I took the wrong path. Now I’m on the right track. I’ll make a “winter turns to spring” meal for everyone. Let’s steam the rice and cook it first. I’ll just blanch it in water. Fu Xinbo is angry. Fu Xinbo is angry again. Fu Xinbo is angry. Everyone, be careful. Kneading dough is really tiring. It’s exhausting. You want me to knead dough after playing basketball? Kneading dough after playing basketball. Do you know that feeling? It’s just that it’s not easy— to finally get together with the guys to play basketball, and then when you get home, your wife says, “Knead some dough.” “I’m hungry, knead some dough.” Does your wife like noodles? She’s from Hunan. She likes rice. I used your pot. Can you help me wash it? Okay. Did you just ask me to wash a bowl for you? Wash the pot. Wash the pot. Is it done? It’s done. Just bring the pot to a boil. Spray some oil. Cook it directly. That’s great. Fu Xinbo, can you taste it for me? Try it and see if it’s the right texture. It’s okay. That’s fine. That’s fine. That’s fine. Really fine. Duanduan, do you want to hold your bowl of rice? Then let’s go shoot the green screen first. That works too. Right. This bowl of rice is just… Imagine that you have already… arrived at a sky filled with twinkling stars. And after everyone eats this bowl of rice, they each let out a sigh of amazement. Di-ge then… So delicious. Azheng is just eating intently. And then Fu Xinbo is in the back, holding a bowl of rice, while giving me a look of approval. Yongqi is holding two skewers. That’s good. Hello, everyone. I’m the actor Liang Yongqi. Today, I came here at the invitation of my brothers to Coca-Cola’s “Friends, Please Eat” Season 3. I came to get a free meal again. This is a dish I made, shredded squid. We used a kind of grilling by the fire to make it. I hope I can come often. Let me insert a little ad. The TV drama I filmed, “Meng Hua Ting,” I finished shooting it yesterday. I hope to see you all soon. Bye-bye. All done. Just rambling nonsense. Just waiting for Yin Zheng to handle this fish. Two jin of fish. Scrape off the fish scales and slime. Rinse. After rinsing, cut off the fins. This is so complicated. Put scallions and ginger in a bowl. Add scallions, ginger, garlic, and salt. Add pepper and Sichuan pepper wine. Squeeze out the flavors from the scallions, ginger, and garlic. What is this? So complicated. This is too difficult. Add salt, pepper, and Sichuan pepper. Pour the sauce over the fish. Give the fish a “massage” and marinate for twenty minutes. Hello. Set a twenty-minute timer for me. Counting down from twenty minutes. Heat oil in the pan. Dige Dige, help me light the fire. Come on. Just looking at it like a chef. It looks so appetizing. Come, sit. I didn’t use to like eating fish. But now I want to eat half of it. Alright. Let’s do it. Thanks for your hard work. Thanks for your hard work, brothers. Coca-Cola tastes really good. Delicious. So refreshing. Then we can eat everything now. Let’s get moving. I’m going to try this fish. Go ahead. This fish was skewered by Yongqi himself. This is amazing. Give me a piece. I’m still afraid to try it. I’ll try it first. You go ahead, give me a piece first. Okay. Because this fish has already been grilled for a long time. It’s been a long time, this one. Is this fish done? What do you think? This is our first time making toothpick barbecue. Dai Luwa, try it. You spat it out. It’s not cooked. This little barbecue is harder than I thought. Later, I’ll discuss it with Yin Zheng too. Our main barbecue. Let’s take it to the next level. This fish is definitely fine. Be careful of the bones. This fish should be good. Tasty. This fish is really delicious. Delicious. Come here, quick. You skewered this. Let me try. So tasty. So tasty. Is it good? Tastes like the ocean. It’s even better with some chili. This would taste good even with a shoe sole. This cooked texture is nice. It’s actually very fresh. Very fresh. And tender. Delicious. Success. A real breakthrough. Keep up the good work. Let me try some premium rice. Premium rice is delicious. Thank you. Thank you, Zheng. Beautiful. Let me try. Delicious, delicious. That’s fine. If I can’t finish it later, I’ll pack it to go. Okay. Serving it makes me happy. Happy. Got a bit of praise. Yin Zheng, what’s the name of this dish? Fruit Coca-Cola Grilled Fish. Spicy and sweet. The fruit adds some sourness. Coca-Cola also has a bit of sourness. But since there’s Coca-Cola, you don’t need to add sugar. I’ll try the skin first. I just want to dip it in the sauce. Dip it in the sauce. It looks really good. Smells great. Nice. Smells so good. It’s not greasy. What I really like is that it has fruit. Just fruit and Coca-Cola together. That way, it’s not greasy. Awesome. I think kids from Hainan should be fine with it. I love it, it’s delicious. I love this flavor. Delicious. That’s good. Dip it in this sauce. So satisfying. I like this onion. On top. Green onion, ginger, garlic, onion. Piyazi. Yes, piyazi. Friends from Xinjiang. Put some of that fermented tofu inside the flatbread. It’s to die for. I’ll add some chili first. Chili. Is it okay to eat the bun this way? Take a bite and try it. Is it good or not? It’s super tasty. I want some, save me a bit. Save one bite. Feels delicious. It’s crispy. This whole table. Delicious. So good. I feel dizzy as soon as it touches my lips. So good. Absolutely amazing. Baozi Bro is from Xi’an. The food in Xi’an is also amazing. Yeah, it’s so delicious. It’s a paradise for carbs. But I’ve already said goodbye to carbs. At night. Yes. But I really love eating carbs. Do you eat them at night too? Yes. I eat them at night too. Yes. Look at me now. This rice is so delicious. I want another bowl. I want another bowl. Another bowl, please. So tasty. That’s enough. So tasty. Very beautiful. But you’re not fat. Just keep working out. I think working out is just for eating, right? Yeah. It’s so you can eat whatever you want. That way your metabolism is high. But to really boost your metabolism, you have to lift weights. Running doesn’t help. You have to build muscle. You need muscle to burn those calories. Strength training is much faster than cardio. Yeah. Can I do Jung Da-yeon? Sometimes I do it every day. What? Aerobics. Jung Da-yeon’s slimming workout for ten minutes. It’s pretty exhausting. My heart rate goes up to 160. That should Because when your cardio reaches a certain level, you start burning fat. Anyway, I just use this to control it a little. I’m not trying to build big muscles. There’s not much chance to show off anyway. Variety shows don’t require you to take off your clothes. But you can if you want. Variety shows actually give you more chances to do that. Right? You can take it off anytime. Duanduan, take something off. Today the two of them are here. We have another competition. The two of them. Acting stars. We need to recreate some classic scenes you did before. Really? Yongqi happens to be here too. Help them with the scene. Okay. Let’s take a look first at what the classic scenes were. Let’s watch the first one. A toast to you. A toast to me? Who is this man? So handsome. He’s drunk. I did drink, but I’m very clear-headed. Your Highness, I’ve been watching you for a while. You have a unique charm. This part is pretty funny. We totally cracked up and broke character then. I know. It’s that bit. The alpaca one, right? Come on, Liu Duanduan. Pick someone to play Ye Ling’er. Come on. Are we going to act together? Will you help me with the scene? Come on, let’s recite the lines. A toast to you. I really like seeing Brother Zheng kneeling there in an apron. Do you have someone you like? No. Me neither. That’s a good thing. It’ll mean less pain for both of us if we get married in the future. We can watch the show for free. That’s great. Come on. Excerpt from “Joy of Life Season 2”. Begin. A toast to you. To me? To apologize. I shouldn’t have pointed a knife at you. It’s fine. It’s better than throwing it at my face. Do you have someone you like? What? Like someone you’d pledge yourself to, childhood sweetheart kind of thing. No. Me neither. That’s a good thing. If we get married in the future, there’ll be less pain between us. What’s wrong? I’ve been looking at you just now. Looking at me? I wanted to take a closer look. I hadn’t really looked at you before. You’re drunk. I did drink. But I’m very clear-headed. Your Highness, you are quite unique. But I still can’t like you. So? So we should work together. To call off this engagement. You’re amazing. So great. Really got into it. So good. So fast. He delivered his lines so quickly. He nailed it right away. That was awesome. Looks like we made it through too. Yeah. The two of us together. I just wanted to act with you. I’ve never acted with you before. Finally got to enjoy it. Just to get a taste. Let’s watch this part then. Okay. I think we should meet the princess too. If it goes well when we meet her, then there’s nothing more to say. But what if it doesn’t? Then who? Mao Xiaotong. Xiaotong. Really? Leaving the capital, changing horses at the post stations, traveling nonstop. We’ll reach the border in just a few days. When are you planning to escape from the capital? How did you plan it? Can I help you strategize? Help me come up with a plan to escape the wedding. I have a lot of ideas about this. Maybe I can help you. No need for now. Why? It seems I don’t need to run away now. “Showing off affection” It’s kind of sweet. What was that word again? Let me check first. Did you pick someone to play the county princess or the princess? The princess. Yongqi. I’ll do it. Sister Xiaotong, right? Yongqi didn’t expect that. Here, take a look. On the way back to the capital from the border, I arranged horses at several relay stations. Why leave horses? I thought I should at least meet the princess. If I did meet her, Look, you two are doing pretty well. Now those two are starting to memorize their lines too. That’s how it should be. That’s how acting is. You, as actors, Whenever there’s a scene together, all the feelings come out. That energy. Very good. That’s why I’m definitely not joining this part. Give it a try. Then we should be about done. Try it. I might not be able to remember. It’s okay. With such a short time, “Joy of Life Season 2” Elopement scene Begin. It was I who wanted to enter the city as soon as possible. When I returned to the capital from the border, I arranged horses at several relay stations along the way. You left horses? Why? I thought I should at least meet the princess. If the meeting went well, then there would be nothing more to say. And if it didn’t? I would change horses at the first station out of the capital and keep going without stopping. In just a few days, I could reach the border. When are you planning to escape from the capital? What’s your plan? Maybe I can help you. You want to help me plan an escape from marriage? I’ve wanted to escape the imperial city since I was a child. But it was always just a dream. I never thought I’d meet someone who actually would. I have a lot of ideas about this. Maybe I can help you. No need for now. Why not? It seems I don’t need to escape anymore. If you ever want to run away, just let me know. Alright. I promise you’ll be the first to know. Cheers. I’m shipping it. I’ve got goosebumps. Nice. Thank you. Sorry if it wasn’t great. Your eyes are sparkling. You finished acting so lively. Awesome. This part was really good. Great job. Sorry if it wasn’t great. And it really was short. That kind of short-term memory actors have. You nailed it right away. So impressive. Really great. Is this the age gap at work? Mainly, I cheated too. I’ve seen it. I remember it. Yeah, I saw it, I cheated. The lines in “Joy of Life” are really good. Actually, “Joy of Life” I think it gave me a very different feeling. Don’t you think so? It’s more concise. The lines are more concise. Including all the transitions. The blocking. Everything. Because, well, because of something. I think it’s because the director of “Joy of Life” Sun Hao, Hao-ge. He’s also from the National Theatre of China. They have to rehearse first, right? Rehearse intensely. Yeah. Actually, I still remember these lines. I still remember a bit. There’s still some memory. A little bit. Yeah. There is. Yeah, so they will go there ahead of time before the actual filming. Then they rehearse it like a stage play. They run through it and rehearse it first. Yeah. Alright, next is a tough one. Just now it was Acting Star. We have to do a blind vote again. Who we think could win the Acting Star crown. Blind vote, let’s go. I want to take a closer look. I haven’t examined it carefully before. Got drunk. Maybe I can help you. It seems there’s no need to run now. It’s a bit difficult. Three, two, one. Okay, open your eyes. You got all the votes. Thank you, brothers, for voting for me. Awesome. Really great. Come on. Whether it’s the speed of delivering lines, The way you deliver lines and that feeling, It just hits right away. And there’s something in your eyes, sparkling. You weren’t shaking, and your breathing was steady. Thank you. Yongqi, your “Meng Hua Ting”— What kind of story is it? Is it an online novel? It’s related to “Novoland: Pearl Eclipse” from before— The one that Mi Jie starred in. It’s a prequel to “Novoland: Pearl Eclipse.” The one with Yang Mi and Chen Weiting, right? Yes. “Novoland: Pearl Eclipse.” I see. How about this? Since everyone has filmed in Hengdian, let’s share some of the outrageous things we’ve heard about on other sets. How about it? Sure, I think I have one. This one— This— If it starts raining later, we’ll run. Let me speak first. I heard the crew next door today, um… Be careful. Everyone’s starting to talk, the whole place is. There’s thunder and lightning again. We have to be careful. Bro, let me show you how it’s done. I heard the lead actress in the crew next door was replaced. Why are you so straightforward? That’s really scary. Should we not talk about the other crew here? Let’s not talk about it. Yeah. Hurry up and finish talking. Serve it. It’s here. Is it raining? Did you go inside? Hurry inside. Everyone, get inside quickly. I knew it. That rain was definitely coming today. It’s coming. It’s really coming. And it’s going to be heavy rain. We’re going to get rich. I want to bring that fish in and eat it. It’s so delicious. Is the rain heavy now? Yes, it’s heavy. It’s pouring down. Can’t control it. Good rain. Pretty big. Really beautiful. A heavy rain suddenly poured down. Just as I was about to speak, all of a sudden, Okay. Let’s listen to Duanduan’s. He should be pretty fierce. I also think you’re fierce. Give us something fierce. You say one. Like, you just… Look, the one I mentioned… I said I heard the crew next door replaced their female lead. That’s what I heard. Sometimes you hear things like that. Sometimes the crew just disbands while filming. The whole crew was gone. So the team just disbanded, right? Yes. I remember there was a time when I was filming a show. Well, actually, I’ve experienced it twice. You’ve had a team disband too? What happened to me was, suddenly, we just stopped filming the next day. It was after two months of shooting. That was even more… After two months. The team disbanded after two months. No, in the end, we didn’t disband. We held on for about another month or two. We struggled through and finally finished filming. I’ve been through that too. You have too? Yeah, the team was gone. We had all joined the crew. We filmed for one day. The next day, they said we had a break. Then we ended up resting for three days. After that, the team disbanded. So then what happened? Who told you? People from each company notified every actor. They just pulled the funding. But to be honest, let me tell you something. I was even replaced once. Have you ever been replaced? Maybe I have. I’ve definitely been replaced. But I’m not sure if I should have been. I was replaced after filming. Bro. I filmed for a whole day. Why? Because… Why did they do that? Because they had someone else in mind. I was very young. When I just started acting. Then I was luckier than you. How so? Look, Duanduan said he filmed for a whole day. And then got replaced. But I was a bit luckier than him. When I went to meet the crew, I went to audition. After the audition, I was actually quite grateful to the assistant director. He came out and told me very directly. He said, “Kid, about this role—” “I can tell you for sure, it’s not going to be you.” You were probably just going through the motions. But I think you’re pretty good. I’ll see if there are any other roles for you. Maybe I can get you in to play something else. He was really straightforward. Yeah. I really want to ask everyone here, Have you ever faced— Have you ever— Faced some weird things in the industry? Have you ever gotten revenge for yourself? Gotten back at someone? Like, you felt— “I look pretty cool today.” I’ve experienced that. Come. When I first came to Hengdian to shoot my first film, that assistant director was right next to me, doing this— just giving me that look. What kind of acting is that? Can you even act? What? I’m not lying to you. He kept doing that. Right next to me. He might have been sitting He wanted you to hear it. Yeah, sitting this close. And that’s how I spent those months. Months. During those months, every day when I got back, because I had to memorize lines, I’d lie in bed memorizing until two or three in the morning. I’d get up at five to do my makeup. Every day. The pressure was huge. All because of someone else. But you didn’t have— You felt maybe you weren’t good enough back then. No, you still wanted to prove yourself. Yeah. Then, the year before last, I ran into that director. What? He ran into that director the year before last. He was still on set. He was still the same. And he’s still an assistant director, right? He is now. It was the director. Yes. Then, then I was on set. I basically gave him a lesson. I used my professionalism. I used my acting. Yes. Of course, I was focused on the scene. Let me tell you, let me tell you about this scene. I just addressed it with professionalism. Yes. How this scene should be done. What are you guys filming? Are you just messing around or what? But what should I do? Just this one point. After that, I felt really good. Respect. Right? This kind of thing feels really satisfying. Respect. But I don’t blame him anymore. You just feel that actually, it was fair for him to treat me that way back then. It was fair. It was fair. What do you mean by “it was fair”? Because I don’t know if everyone, when they were new, has had this kind of experience. I think it’s normal. Honestly, it’s normal. It’s normal. Right? Wasting people’s time. I had just entered the industry too. Then I went to meet the crew. Auditioning for a role After I finished performing An assistant director Honestly The kind who can’t even speak Mandarin fluently Then started acting like a director You get what I mean He was pretending to be a director He really enjoyed it Felt like he had a lot of power Yeah You know that kind of feeling, right? Then he started lecturing me Saying, “You this, you that” “And that, and that” But the thing is, I’m absolutely sure What you’re saying is wrong Because you don’t even know the basics The three essentials of acting Like the objective when entering a scene Establishing and resolving conflict The logical pivot of a character He doesn’t have any of that He’s just making things up Talking nonsense with you And he kept criticizing me He just kept going on and on You know, if you criticized me privately, that’d be fine But everyone was sitting together Each person went up one by one It was kind of like an art school exam Everyone was listening Then all of a sudden I said, “Director, I’m sorry” “Are you going to use me?” I said, if you want to use me, I’ll listen to whatever you say, just teach me properly. But if you don’t want to use me, then don’t bother talking to me about all this. Why do you talk like that? Get out. I said goodbye. I left. Actually, when I walked out, my legs were shaking. At that moment, I was thinking, I thought, Did I offend someone? Did I say something wrong? No, but let me tell you, bro, I got over it in five minutes. I’m really convinced that even someone as new as me, I can already see that your skills are terrible. So you definitely have no future. But I believe I have a future. So the two of us definitely shouldn’t cross paths again. But if we ever do, I’ll definitely be above you. Yeah, that actually felt pretty good. But as for Yin Zheng, I actually think what he said was quite good. Sometimes you really have to have the courage to do that thing. It was when I decided to try becoming an actor, I went to be an extra in a fairly big production. I wanted to experience it. After I got there, they were about to shoot a big scene. There were seven or eight hundred people. We were all in that studio. Everyone went to get their costumes and change. After I got my pants, the pants were big enough to fit two of me. They just didn’t fit. Right, my normal reaction would be to go find the costume supervisor to change them, right? So I went. When I got there, I said to the costume supervisor, “My pants are a bit too big.” “Can I change them?” Before I could finish, I got scolded harshly. He said, “Can you shoot or not?” “If you can’t, then get out.” This is just too… It’s okay. Yeah, and then but at that time he Sorry to interrupt. It was completely obvious that he was putting all his pressure onto a newcomer. But honestly, I was a bit confused at the time. But I wasn’t that angry. Maybe a little bit angry. Later, I calmed myself down. I thought to myself, I still like this profession. Because I think acting is really interesting. I want to study it. And then I said, If I can get through this, then I should do well in the future. And that’s how I got to where I am now. I think this experience, for me, makes me feel proud of myself. It was really satisfying. Sticking to what I wanted to do and achieving my dream. Impressive. How did you end up signing with Boss Yu Zheng? It was a coincidence. At that time, he was casting for a role in “Mo Yu Yun Jian”. I was filming Director Li Yugang’s debut movie at the time. Then he saw my official announcement photo. He also knew the lead actress in our film. Her name is Lü Xingchen. So he asked Lü Xingchen what she thought of me. She told Teacher Yu Zheng that I was great. Teacher Yu Zheng had a project and asked if she could send it to me. Then she asked me to show it to Yongqi. The next morning, I went to see Teacher Yu. I was already prepared at that time. Just like now. There were cameras set up. They also found an actor to come and act with me. Then I said, “Teacher Yu, I…” I recorded it before I came. I asked if you wanted to take a look. If it’s not good enough, I can perform it for you again. After he watched it, he made a very decisive decision. He said, “Alright, it’s you.” We didn’t talk about anything else. No more talk about work. We went out for dinner that evening. But he had already chosen me. He’s very handsome. I really, really like Teacher Yu Zheng. In my heart, Teacher Yu is If you treat him as a gentleman, he will treat you as a gentleman too. He’s a very open and straightforward person. Really, just very open. If you can work with him, do it as soon as possible. It’s really great. Alright, let’s stop here for today. Today, our hexagonal star-picking plan should be about done. Just about done. Then I’ll go get our star. Our star is in the fridge.

Sincerity. This time, being together with Zheng and Di, was really enjoyable. It felt relaxed and comfortable. I hope we can get together again next time. This time gave me a truly unique experience in Hengdian. Di’s hotpot by the fire, Zheng’s grilled fish, and that basketball game— before, it was always about work, but this time, it felt like a reunion of old friends. Let’s have a group hug, the five of us. Come on. We can definitely play as a five-man team. Five-man team. Yeah. So happy. Why ruin a game? Alright. Let’s go. No, it wasn’t this late yesterday.
