Ruan Jingtian doesn’t want to be the tyrant

Probably the reason why Ang Lee said he was Xiaosheng was because Chen Guilin still showed some uninhibited youthful atmosphere at the beginning of the film, as if there was a shadow of the monk who amazed the world. But at that time, Ruan Jingtian did not know that the gift given by fate too early could only be close to him, even if it was another ten years, and it was difficult to repeat.

Many mainland audiences may be surprised by Ruan Jingtian’s acting skills in "The Three Evils of Zhou Chu", mainly because most mainland audiences still know him as Ji Cunxi of "Destined I Love You" – a classic tyrant who stands at the peak of Taiwan puppet history. But Ruan Jingtian’s comfort zone has always been a "punk" like a monk and Chen Guilin. For him, who is not an acting professional, this is almost his true character, so he can contribute such a moving texture.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

Returning to the comfort zone is not only a "40-year-old", but also a rare luxury. Although Ruan Jingtian’s acting career has been luckier than most people, he has also faced confusion and bottlenecks during the bubble period of the film and television industry. However, the bottleneck did not eventually compress him to the status of a bad drama professional or a live streaming host, but allowed him to be recognized again and become a teenager again.

"Everyone likes Ji Cunxi, but I don’t."

Ruan Jingtian’s starting point is much higher than others.

The first time was to accompany a friend to interview for a model, but his friend didn’t want to do it anymore, but he was taken by the modeling company. He even reached the level of a professional reserve team when he practiced swimming from a young age, which also developed his long and shoulder-wide model figure. His first appearance after his debut was as the male lead of Penny Dai’s MV. In Hunan Satellite TV’s "Behind the Story" program, he mentioned that he had never learned to act at that time, and was commanded by the director like a marionette on the set. "Xiao Tian, look to the right, look up, look at the camera… This is how I played my first MV."

After that, he took on a large number of MVs of diva-level singers, such as Sun Yanzi, Wang Fei, Zhang Huimei, etc. Zheng Yuanchang, He Junxiang and he from the same company were called "Kaiwo Three Musketeers", and they often bound variety shows in this capacity. Kaiwo is also a leading modeling agency in Taiwan. Lin Zhiling is the senior sister of "Three Musketeers", and Xu Weining, who later ran a long-distance relationship with Ruan Jingtian for seven years, is also an artist of the company.

Two years later, Ethan Ethan made his film and television debut in "Michael’s Dance," in which he played a gloomy dance genius. It was also in this work that he was first noticed by the later "Bole" Niu Chengze.

A year later, Ruan Jingtian starred in the infatuated second man of "Green Light Forest", which is a typical person setting the ceiling. The performance of the show was supposed to take his acting career to the sky, but he was frozen by the agency for his affair with the 17-year-old heroine Liu Pinyan. After that, he could only play supporting roles and cameos for many years. Ruan Jingtian ushered in his first disappointment. At the same time, Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang have successfully soared with "Mischief Kiss" and "The Devil Is Around". Only he has been unable to survive.

Before encountering the project "I’m Destined to Love You", Ethan Ruan was ready to quit the acting industry. The original proposed lead actor Ming Dao refused, and the director Chen Mingzhang tried his best to persuade Ethan Ruan to play. He reluctantly accepted because he thought he had never played a male lead.

Ji Cunxi was not a typical "man setting a ceiling". He was always hesitant between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend, and he was always beaten up for being too scum in the play, and was once evaluated as "the most miserable tyrant". This is also the reason why no one liked the project before it was broadcast.

Who knew that once the broadcast was a mess, the average audience rating of a single episode was 10.91, and the highest segment audience rating was 13.64, which became the first audience rating in the history of Taiwan puppet in one fell swoop, and no one has surpassed it so far. Ruan Jingtian and Chen Qiaoen, who were both at a low point at that time, would cry every time they released the ratings data, for the disappointment of those years.

"Destined to Love You" stills

After "Boss Ba", Ruan Jingtian went all the way. The next year, he starred in "The Lost Dog Queen", and with Yang Jinhua, he performed the "sister-brother love" that was very advanced at the time. Rather than being an idol drama, "The Lost Dog Queen" is actually closer to a female growth drama, and his role as Lucas is the healing and redemption of the elderly female protagonist.

The transformation was like a whirlwind, and in another year, Ruan Jingtian produced the movie "Menga" that won the best actor. Director Niu Chengze developed him who can act in movies. Completely different from the idol drama, he did not have to wear fancy clothes and read exaggerated lines to interpret the "Boss Ba" who was far away from him, but only needed to play the street "little gangster" by instinct.

The year he won the Golden Horse Best Actor, Ruan Jingtian was only 28 years old, and the "praise" and "call" came to him prematurely at the same time, making him feel like a downhill road wherever he went.

In 2013, during the 50th anniversary of the Golden Horse, Ruan Jingtian was absent for no reason. Although he later responded that he was rushing back to shoot "Military Paradise" because the itinerary was not clear, this statement was not accepted by the circle. Later recalling that period, Ruan Jingtian said in an interview, "I was very resistant for a while, and I tried a lot of roles during that time… But the audience seemed to only remember Ji Cunxi, and my performance perception was still stuck at the age of 25."

Although there have been many twists and turns, Ruan Jingtian’s noble luck has always been good. When he first joined the modeling agency, he was introduced to resources by an agent 12 years older, and the MV contract was only softened. Later, thanks to the appreciation of Chen Yushan, the co-producer of "Destined I Love You" and "The Queen of Lost Dogs", he established a foothold in the field of idol drama. The producer of "Mengka" and "The Three Evils in Zhou" is also the same person – Luo Dayou’s ex-wife Li Lie – who was once regarded by Ruan Jingtian as a mentor.

Li Lie later responded to the media that because of the absence of the photo of the golden horse, she had not contacted Ruan Jingtian for ten years, and only broke the ice during the casting of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week". To some extent, this may also have led him to go to the mainland after the Jinma incident, and the movies, dramas and variety shows he has taken on have not been able to produce a single work. At the nomination of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week" last year, Ruan Jingtian told the media, "Thank you, Sister Lie, for taking me home."

In fact, Taiwan’s domestic films have had a difficult time these years, and the situation is very similar to that of the Hong Kong market. Imported films occupy an absolute high box office. In the top 10 box office of the Taiwan film market in 2023, there is only one local film, "About Me and the Ghost Becoming Family". Of the top ten domestic films at the box office, 6 are comedies and 3 are ghost films, and the situation of single genre is also very serious. Although there is still a guarantee of artistic status, the Golden Horse award-winning film is also difficult to compete at the box office. "Three Harmies in the Week" is only NT $46.91 million (equivalent to about 10 million RMB) in Taiwan. The shrinking of the local market makes Taiwanese films doomed to be unable to invest high costs, and comedies, ghost films, crime films and other genres are precisely the most suitable for low-cost creations.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

The epidemic was no doubt an important factor in Mr. Ruan’s return to Taiwan, and he mentioned in the interview that he had taken more time to spend with his family and reorganized his life because many of his jobs had been suspended. In addition to "Zhou Chu," Mr. Ruan starred in "Hunted," a film produced by Zhang Junjun, which landed in mainland theaters late last year.

To a certain extent, the re-entry into the low-budget crime films is also a replica of the self in the "Monga" period. Only after the re-production of convincing works did Ruan Jingtian have the confidence to reveal his heart to the outside world. In the idol drama, it is not his true self. "I say in good conscience that many people like the character of" Fated to Love You ", but I don’t like it that much. I am not that kind of person."

A gangster, but not a hopelessly illiterate

"Little thugs" like monks and Chen Guilin are really Ethan’s comfort zone. This is not entirely an afterthought based on high-profile works, but because such characters are closest to his true self.

Before he was picked up by the modeling agency, Ethan went through a rather rebellious adolescence. He studied in high school for five years, transferred five times, was persuaded to quit school because of constant fights and absenteeism, and finally attended a night school before barely graduating. But his physical fitness is quite good. His family originally wanted him to become a pilot, and he had passed the exam, but in the end he sneaked back to Taipei to break into the entertainment industry.

For those who have not received any acting training, real-life experience is the most important reference for him to perform. And Ruan Jingtian is a pure experientialist. The heart-wrenching crying scene of a friend dying in his arms in "Mengka" is the most colorful part of the entire film. After the scene was filmed, Ruan Jingtian was still immersed in emotions and could not stop crying. The director came to hug him but was pushed away. He asked the director, "Just for a scene to open my wounds, does it have to be so painful to be an actor?"

"Mengka"

Including later going to shoot "Military Paradise", playing a recruit in the movie, and also won the nomination for Best Actor at the Asian Film Awards. At that time, he had just finished his military service, and the recruit was himself.

Although his education level is not high, he is different from the "desperate illiterate" who have been soaked in art examination institutions since childhood, and he has not shown any shyness in all situations where words are required. For example, in the interview, he used the blackboard and eraser to compare the divide between reality and performance. "There is a dividing line between the requirements of the script and his real experience. When the performance starts, you can wipe it off with the board as much as possible, but no matter how hard you wipe it, there will still be a little bit, a little visible but invisible line."

"It’s actually not the so-called feelings and ambiguity," he said of the relationship between Cheng Xiaomei and Chen Guilin. "It’s not that simple. It should be said that at the moment of their lives, the two people who were originally parallel have intertwined, but each other has more important things to complete. Cheng Xiaomei to Chen Guilin, maybe when a person is quiet at night, he will recall that this is one of the few romances in his limited life."

Compared with some artists who replied "I don’t think your question is meaningful", it has to be said that there is also a gap between illiteracy.

Even after becoming famous, his life is extremely normal, which may be an important reason why he can continue to enrich himself from real life and supply it to the performance, and it is also the biggest difference between him and the "208s". He mentioned in an interview with the Beijing News, "My circle of friends includes vegetable farmers, pork sellers, people who have to get up at two in the morning to work night shifts, and very ordinary workers. This is my truest circle of friends. Everyone thinks that artists are very mysterious, and that mystery is just self-restraint, trapping myself in a cage. I just live as an ordinary person, and I happen to work as an actor, and I happen to have the opportunity to act out what I see and hear – I am not a star, just a normal ordinary person."

Using Ning Hao’s metaphor in "Mr. Red Carpet", Ruan Jingtian is not the kind of traditional Chinese medicine bag soaked in warm water that does not eat human fireworks. Neiyu is still building a false "Boss Tyrant" in the world of idol dramas one after another, eating leftovers from Taiwan puppets. And the group of people who first interpreted "Boss Tyrant" have come out of the false mold.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

To a certain extent, the Taiwanese actors in the front line are all people like Ruan Jingtian, who can see the breath of living people, and the life behind them has never been a black box.

At the shortlisted luncheon, the five handsome men did not regard themselves as stars at all when facing the media, but revealed the details of their lives very casually. Ethan Ethan praised the muscles of Xu Guanghan and Lin Baihong, and Wu Dianren would not avoid his girlfriend Shao Yuwei when he met his birthday. He even said that "it is more convenient to rent a house in Hong Kong" when participating in the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.

"I want to finish tonight and then go back to my mother tomorrow and go back to my normal daily life," Mr. Ruan said in a group interview with the media after the awards ceremony. "I want to remember this moment, my current mood, which day in the performance, you will see."

"Three Evils in a Week" is not a perfect movie, but the kind of Taiwanese actor that Ethan represents is a good entertainment footnote. Artists in mainland China never seem to understand what it means to be a living person, either completely emasculating their true character and turning it into a puppet in front of the stage, or interacting with their faces in the live stream. Living person means that the audience can see his small world and his origin from the actor’s body, but they don’t have to know everything.

Original Yang Ying was exposed to play a big name at work, and took a few minutes of advertising to make all the staff wait for a few hours

According to a report on October 29, the energetic and charismatic actress Na has not only impressed with her stunning performance in the field of fashion, but also interacted with fans almost like family. She is unique in the entertainment industry, maintaining a sincere and approachable image, and has never been photographed showing off or having a bad attitude.

Yang Ying’s relevance stems from his deep connection with fans. Every time she attends an event, she always patiently signs autographs, takes photos, and responds to every fan’s care and support with her heart. On social networks, she not only shares her work life, but also often makes candid remarks to let fans better understand her inner world. This kind of sincere and considerate interaction makes fans feel respect and care, and also improves Yang Ying’s score in the hearts of fans.

Although Yang Ying has always been known for her approachable and honest treatment, the appearance of the entertainment industry often masks the underlying reality. On October 29, the Internet revealed that Yang Ying played a big name, which brought people to see the other side of the entertainment industry.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Yang Ying actually made all the staff wait for her for several hours during a commercial shoot. Although she only shot the advertisement for a few minutes, she asked others to wait in groups, causing dissatisfaction and complaints from the staff on site. The news surprised fans because it was completely different from her usual friendly and approachable image.

At the same time, some netizens revealed that when working with Andy Lau, Yang Ying was repeatedly NG because of her poor acting skills, and even lost her temper and refused to film, which put the crew in an embarrassing situation. The exposure of this incident has triggered public doubts about Yang Ying’s professional ethics. Although this revelation lacks conclusive evidence, it has triggered heated discussions among the online crowd about Yang Ying’s work attitude. If this is true, Yang Ying’s irresponsible behavior is undoubtedly shocking. In the context of intense competition in the entertainment industry, the professional attitude of actors is particularly important. It is difficult for an irresponsible and superficial actor to gain the respect of the audience and industry insiders, and it will also affect the working atmosphere and shooting process of the entire crew.

In fact, reports of Yang Ying’s unprofessionalism have surfaced in recent years, raising questions about her work ethic. Yang Ying’s acting skills have been controversial. In addition to his lack of talent, what’s more, he doesn’t seem to want to spend time studying acting, preferring to rely on his own background and resources.

Yang Ying’s carving of "Lonely Fang Does Not Appreciate Yourself" caused public outrage. Although she was paid a high salary, she did not pay for it accordingly, which made the quality of her work unsettling. This irresponsible attitude not only embarrassed her contestants, but also affected the entire production team of the show. In an industry that requires teamwork, the dedication and input of each actor is crucial, and Yang Ying’s unprofessional behavior undoubtedly caused trouble for the entire crew.

This practice of "taking shortcuts" and not learning and honing her acting skills not only damaged her personal reputation, but also made her lose the trust of many audiences. In the entertainment industry, success depends not only on appearance and background, but also on continuous education and hard work to improve herself and gain true recognition. If Yang Ying wants to go long in her acting career, she must take every job seriously, speak with strength, and win the recognition and respect of the audience.

        Nicholas Tse, who recently won the Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, has recently returned to the crew of "The New Shaolin Temple" to continue filming. Since Ting Feng was rushing back to Hengdian to continue work and did not have time to celebrate, in order to continue this joy, director Chen Musheng and the crew specially prepared a mini celebration for Ting Feng at the filming venue of "The New Shaolin Temple" and sent two cakes with "Double Happiness" and "Linmen" written on them respectively. Congratulations to Ting Feng for winning the supporting actor role and being promoted to the second father! However, what made Ting Feng most excited at the celebration was that his idol Andy Lau cheered him up at the celebration and encouraged him to move towards the Best Actor award next year, which made him very excited.

       Ting Feng said that he has been with Hua Ge for nearly four months and has a happy cooperation during filming. He also hopes that the two will be shortlisted for different awards at major film awards ceremonies next year based on "New Shaolin Temple". Director Chen Musheng said that although there will be many movies released next year and the opponent is also very strong, he is confident that the audience will enter and support movies with different themes. Maybe next year, Hua Zai and Ting Feng will be nominated for Best Actor at the same time with "New Shaolin Temple" and become benign competitors!

       At the celebration, Brother Hua was very considerate to Tingfeng, not only cutting the cake for Tingfeng and sharing it with the staff present, but also hilariously shooting the champagne at Tingfeng who was about to taste the cake, catching him off guard, immediately putting down the cake and running away, hiding behind the director, the scene was funny! Originally, when Tingfeng and Brother Hua were holding two bottles of champagne to drink, they laughed and said that they wanted to drink it all, but the director Chen Musheng immediately stopped drinking it and said with a smile, "If you want to get drunk, you will be drunk until the movie Buke, and then everyone will have a good drink! You two are so drunk now, who should I shoot for the next scene?"

       Ting Feng made the cake for lunch, drank a few sips of champagne with Brother Hua and the director, and hurriedly buried his seat to catch up with the play. Even the staff present praised Ting Feng for his diligence, but everyone saw that Ting Feng didn’t even take off his makeup and gave it to the crew to celebrate. It looked very funny. Some staff laughed that Ting Feng was injured to celebrate winning the award. It was really a special dress, and it should be followed by the best dress, and then the best makeup!

Nicholas Tse blew himself up with a broken tear gland in his right eye, and relied on eye drops to shoot crying scenes


    Nicholas Tse personally climbed up the advertising rack.



    Ting Feng, whose tear glands had been broken in his right eye, could only rely on eye drops to play.


    Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jingchu and Zhang Jiahui were filming the Emperor’s film "Witness" in the hot summer. The actors were shooting in a 37-degree temperature and no air-conditioning secret room, sweating profusely. Ting Feng even blew himself up because the tear glands in his right eye had been broken, and he had to rely on eye drops to fight.


    In the Emperor’s film "Witness," starring Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jingchu, Zhang Jiahui, Liao Qizhi and Nursery, the actors were trapped in a room without air conditioning. At that time, the temperature was as high as 37 degrees, and with more than 30 staff members in the room, everyone was so hot that they were sweating profusely. Although there was a fan on site, it was blowing hot air, like being in an oven. Fortunately, the staff had already prepared a lot of frozen drinks to cool everyone down. Although the shooting environment was harsh, Ting Feng was still energetic and exchanged kung fu with the director from time to time. As for Zhang Jingchu, he was all smiles, without complaints, and quite professional.


  Filming emotions to bring home


    Ting Feng admits that making this film made him quite tired. In addition to climbing the outer walls of the building in person, the emotional scenes were also difficult to grasp. He said: "The emotions started from the wrong hand killing the child at the beginning, and he has always maintained the feelings of dissatisfaction, heaviness, helplessness and guilt. He can’t even let go when he goes home after finishing." One of the scenes tells of his tearful attempt to swallow a gun and commit suicide. Unfortunately, he broke his right lacrimal gland in the film many years ago. Since then, he can no longer shed tears and can only rely on eye drops to communicate.

        On the day of the event, the organizers screened Zhang Che’s "Thorn Horse" and "Revenge." John Woo said, "’Thorn Horse’ was the last play I worked with Zhang Che, and he taught me a lot of techniques and techniques for shooting martial arts films.

Renowned film critic Wei Junzi talks to John Woo

John Woo exaggerates the innocence of S’s smile, saying he wants to cooperate with Jiang David and will remake "Revenge".

        Speaking of Big S and Pei-ci Wu, who have no foundation in kung fu, Woo explained, "They both fit the characters’ personalities very well, like Big S playing a cold-blooded killer, with a beautiful appearance and a cold heart. In real life, Big S’s smile is very innocent and cute, and I didn’t expect her fighting scenes to surprise me." Woo also didn’t forget to praise his precious daughter, "Although my daughter has very few roles in’Blade Rain ‘, she has worked very hard to learn swordsmanship and taekwondo. When I was hanging my head, I was nervous, but she was very brave!"

When Woo revealed that he was so poor back then, it was Jiang David who extended a helping hand. "Jiang David is also very heroic in real life. I remember that we both had long hair at that time, and he was a big star, but I was very poor, so he gave me the money and took care of me for one or two years." Woo said with a smile, "Don’t look at Jiang David playing a tough guy, in fact, he often writes poetry in private. If there is a chance, I will definitely invite him to appear in my movies."

Interview with Wang Xueqi: I will never repeat myself in filming, and I will retire if there is no filming


Wang Xueqi

  Movie Network News(Text/Zhang Wei) He is the male lead of Chen Kaige’s work "The Yellow Land". As a hot actor in Chinese movies in the 1980s, he was once dull in the 1990s, but Wang Xueqi still continues to take on the role and act seriously. In the past two years, he has starred in many blockbusters that have been well-received and well-received. He also won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award in his arms, but he always uses the word "lucky" to describe himself. Wang Xueqi said that he will keep filming until the day when no one is looking for him anymore.


Wang Xueqi is always brave enough to break through himself. In "Sword Rain", he was kissed and seduced by Big S
 

Being popular is not a must, winning is just luck

  Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor… Wang Xueqi won numerous awards for playing the role of the Thirteen Swallows in the movie "Mei Lanfang". After being brilliant and enduring loneliness, he now has many masterpieces, but he only calls himself lucky. If these well-received works did not appear, Wang Xueqi would still use his love for performance to shoot the show.

Movie Network: In the 1980s, you were the leading actor of many classic works. At that time, many people came to you for filming. Did you set a higher goal for yourself?

Wang Xueqi:No, in fact, actors are very passive, just looking forward to playing their roles well, let’s touch it, and I don’t know what will happen to a movie in the end, it’s hard to say.

Movie Network: In the 1990s, it seemed that you were a lot quieter? How could you stand loneliness at that time?

Wang Xueqi:There are also new films every year, and I have never been idle. I want to play every role well, but sometimes the book is limited. At that time, I thought that the next one would be better. It is not good to do it without this heart.

Movie Network: Does it feel uncomfortable to watch other actors become popular?

Wang Xueqi:Popularity is not a must. Opportunities are reserved for actors who are well-prepared. Some people may never have this opportunity in their entire lives. I have seen many directors who have been filming like this, from their initial enthusiasm to their diligence and hard work, and then to their retirement. Popularity is like winning a lottery. After all, it is a minority.

Movie Network: Your starring films such as "Mei Lanfang" and "Zhao’s Orphan" have achieved good reputation. Can it be regarded as another peak in your career?

Wang XueqiBefore the performance of "Mei Lanfang", I felt that this film was very important, because it was directed by Chen Kaige, it was a good book, and I had not worked with him for more than 20 years. Now I am not as curious as when I was young. I will take good care of my role and realize myself.

Movie Network: Having won so many awards, has your attitude towards movies changed now?

Wang Xueqi:Not much has changed, now there are more opportunities, the quality of the films is high, and many audiences look at the awards with an outcast mentality. It is rare to win an award, why is it so coincidental that it is you every year? Unless you are very good. The biggest reason I can win awards is because of luck. Many international directors don’t win every work.
 


64-Year-old Wang Xueqi hardly uses a stand-in in filming

I will never repeat myself in filming. If no one asks me to act, I will retire.

  In "Mei Lanfang", the thirteen swallows, the wheel-turning king in "Sword Rain", and every character portrayed by Wang Xueqi is very brilliant, in his own words, he is "never repeating himself". In "Zhao’s Orphan", he has become the villain Tu Anjia, and Wang Xueqi is really changeable. Looking closely at these three characters, there are many action scenes, but who would have thought that 64-year-old Wang Xueqi basically does not need a stand-in?

Movie Network: You will not only shoot commercial films like "Sword Rain", but also films with strong artistic colors like "Rizhao Chongqing". Is there any standard for receiving plays?

Wang Xueqi:Just reading the script. When I saw the script of "Sword Rain", I was very excited and wanted to play it, because this character has been a eunuch for 50 years, but in the world of rivers and lakes, it is a killer leader who is very enjoyable to act. Needless to say, "October Siege", so many movie champions and queens are there. I was very happy when "Mei Lanfang" found me, and in "Zhao’s Orphan", the role of Tu Anjia is very plump.

Movie Network: If the box office of a movie genre is not satisfactory, will you accept it in the future?

Wang Xueqi:As long as it can stimulate my creative desire, my standard for acting is to never repeat myself, and each character has to be different from the root.

Movie Network: I heard that your fights in "Sword Rain" are all in person, and you don’t use a substitute?

Wang Xueqi:There are stuntmen in the play of Dangweiya. I have a good imitation ability. I can learn fast gestures and have good physical coordination.

Movie Network: Do you also exercise regularly?

Wang XueqiPhysical training is very important, I insist on running and jumping every day, often filming outside without any fitness equipment, as long as I can exercise.

Movie Network: Is this also to extend the lifespan of art?

Wang Xueqi:Yes, someone asked me when I would retire. It’s not up to me to have the final say. When no one is looking for you to film, I should retire. When I was filming in other places, there were young actors on the crew. I went to eat mutton kebabs at 11 o’clock at night and woke up at 11 o’clock at noon the next day. How can I be in good health?


Wang Xueqi

Young actors will be forgotten if they don’t work hard, and Chinese films can’t just focus on commerciality

  When asked in an interview about the young actor’s broken file, Wang Xueqi’s tone was very earnest, with a heartfelt "hatred that iron can’t make steel". Indeed, he has experienced the ups and downs of Chinese movies, and he is outspoken in the face of today’s problems.

Movie Network: Most of the male actors with box office appeal are old actors. Are young male actors starting to break down?

Wang Xueqi:In fact, both opportunities and roles are very important. Nowadays, there are many excellent male actors, but the producer will have his own considerations. He wants to see your commercial value and return. Many reasons will affect whether the actor can participate in the film.

Movie Network: If you see young actors in the crew, would you give them any advice?

Wang Xueqi:Yes, I am very anxious when I see that they don’t work hard, and I will say it very rudely. It is not easy for them to have such an opportunity now. When I was young, I didn’t have such good conditions, so I was very anxious when I saw that they didn’t cherish it and acted inadvertently.

Movie Network: What’s your take on overnight success?

Wang Xueqi:Don’t learn some bad habits. It is true that some people become famous overnight, but if you don’t work hard and there is no good work, the audience will still forget you after a year or two. Many actors are like this, and they don’t know why they ended up going.

Movie Network: In fact, the return of your career to the peak has a lot to do with the prosperity of Chinese films as a whole, right?

Wang Xueqi:Of course, since I started filming "Loess", at that time, Chinese movies were just emerging. They followed the entire environment, the market expanded, and audiences were willing to enter the cinema. Now there are still few good movies, and there should be good movies all year round.

Movie Network: What problems do you think are still existing in Chinese films?

Wang Xueqi:There are many movies of an entertainment nature, and it is not enough to focus only on commerciality, not to pay attention to art, and it is not enough for the characters to fail to impress the audience.

Movie Network: What are your expectations for the future of Chinese film?

Wang Xueqi:It is definitely getting better and better. I can only catch up with a tail now. It is a good thing that Chinese movies have begun to develop in an all-round way. In addition to making money, we must also promote culture and instill good things. You can see the kind of heroism in American movies, which can especially boost morale. Chinese movies should be like this. They cannot just focus on business, but also have heroism and national spirit.

Guo Fucheng opposed the deletion of emotional dramas and blew up "Don’t Hao Lei" crying for eight hours

The Chinese-language blockbuster "Silver Empire", which was invested and shot by Taiwan’s Crystal Pictures and Bona International Film Group, has recently stepped up its publicity offensive as the August 21 release day approaches. Starring Guo Fucheng, Hao Lei and Zhang Tielin gathered in Beijing, they deeply revealed the triangular love affair in which "father and son become rivals in love" in the film, and the interesting shooting stories behind it.

In the film, Guo Fucheng, who plays Shaodong with the ticket number "Tianchengyuan", freely admits when talking about the plot and the relationship between the characters: he loves his father, but loves "stepmother" more, and sums up his "Third Master Kang" as "deviant". He said: "In the play, because I have a’strange ‘relationship with my’mother’, I am confused and pretend to be mature in the first part of the play. This part is the most difficult to act! Later, I can’t express my most intimate love in my heart, and I feel more uncomfortable than death!"

When a reporter suggested that there were too many emotional scenes between the third master and the stepmother in the film, Guo Fucheng quickly expressed his disagreement: "Silver Empire uses a lot of space to describe the relationship between the third master and the stepmother, and there may even be a lot of passionate scenes. Of course, I think it is absolutely necessary, and it is absolutely unnecessary. Because even growing up in the Qing Dynasty, people will have seven emotions and six desires. It is absolutely reasonable and necessary to have a passionate scene in the plot, just to explain the development of the plot at that time. As for their final ending, it is a beautiful romance, because this plot of’love until separation is still love ‘is more evocative and heart-wrenching. I like this ending very much!"

When talking in detail about playing such a pair of hard-working lovers with Hao Lei, Guo Fucheng lamented that the most memorable thing was that there were a lot of "crying scenes" in the play, and Hao Lei’s moving eyes and rich emotions were an important reason for him to be able to participate very smoothly. "I remember that not long after the filming started, there was a scene where Hao Lei and I were riding a horse and breaking up in the wilderness. I had to hold back a deep feeling and sadness to cooperate with Hao Lei’s turning back. I don’t know why, looking at the moment she turned back, I felt very unforgettable! My tears fell leisurely! That scene is hard to forget!"

After that, the two cried for seven or eight hours "encouraging each other", setting a record, "I feel like our opponent was crying, and every time we cried for a long time, from dawn to dark. I remember one time, we started crying early in the morning. Hao Lei’s makeup artist went to catch up on sleep because she worked all night. When she woke up, she saw that we were still crying there, wow! It felt really incredible!"

Fan Bingbing responded to rumors with Wang Xueqi: If you have anything, please come at me!


The hand-holding picture is actually a transfer microphone.

  In 2009, Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi met together. Fan Bingbing knew that his starring role was about to be released, and Wang Xueqi, an air government actor, did not have a publicity team. Fan Bingbing enthusiastically lent his publicity team to Wang Xueqi, and the collaboration between the two has since begun. It was during this period that Wang Xueqi won the Asian Film Award for Best Actor, the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor. Fan Bingbing also won the "Queen Actor" honor at this year’s Tokyo Film Festival.

  At the same time that their careers were going well, in early 2010, the news of Wang Xueqi’s divorce from his wife appeared in the media, and rumors about Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi’s ambiguous relationship began to circulate. In December, when the upcoming New Year’s movie "Zhao’s Orphan" was recorded in Shanghai recently, some media took a photo of Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi "holding hands." The next day, rumors about "Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi living together" finally spread.

  Fan Bingbing could no longer sit still. This female star who dared to wear dragon robes and call herself a "wealthy family" decided to stand up and say a few words for Wang Xueqi and herself. She talked to reporters and responded to all the rumors: "If you have anything, come at me, don’t mention seniors again!"

Why "hold hands"?

"I passed the microphone to Teacher Wang’s chair, and Teacher Wang answered it."

  Reporter: What is the so-called cohabitation rumor?

  Fan Bingbing: Our whole company calls Teacher Wang Xueqi "Teacher Wang". In my mind, he is a good person and a good teacher. I really want to laugh off this nonsense. But this time I can’t. I must solemnly tell those who maliciously slander and spread malice that although I personally have no power to punish you, we have the protection of the law. I hope you understand that hurting an artist who only wants to act well will always make your conscience uneasy.

  Reporter: In the past two years, you and Wang Xueqi have often appeared in film and television works at the same time. Why did you cooperate so frequently?

  Fan Bingbing: I belong to the same company as Mr. Wang, and it is normal for any agency to cooperate with the company’s actors. And Mr. Wang is an actor I admire very much. Every cooperation is a learning experience for me. Of course, I am willing to study hard and make progress every day.

  Reporter: Then why did you "hold hands" in front of the media?

  Fan Bingbing: We often "hold hands", walk the red carpet together, and do activities together, both in Beijing and Cannes. The so-called holding hands two days ago was when "Zhao’s Orphan" recorded a program in Shanghai. There were hundreds of people on the scene, and the main creator was interviewed with only one microphone, and everyone passed it on in turn. I put the microphone on Mr. Wang’s chair, and Mr. Wang picked it up, and the good person looked at the picture and said "holding hands". Next time I go on a business trip with someone on the same plane, I guess he can still make up "eloping". It’s not easy for people to eat by making up sensational news, but he has to be more particular about this bowl of rice. It’s incredible to make up a story of people "holding hands" on stage and in front of everyone. In the end, he even made up the story that Teacher Wang and I lived together for two years, which was even more out of nothing. I can only say that this story is brainless and not advanced!

Wang Xueqi’s reaction after seeing the news?

"Teacher Wang has been a soldier all his life and values honor the most"

  Reporter: After Teacher Wang’s divorce, there was news that you were together, did you know?

  Fan Bingbing: I know it all. The staff will tell me the news on the Internet or hear other people’s discussions. Every time I tell them easily, it doesn’t matter. What I have to doubt with Mr. Wang is because I think everyone is "not afraid of shadows." Then they will "intimidate" me and say "just wait, when you are uncomfortable". I still teach repeatedly. I often eat and chat with Mr. Wang and company colleagues in private. Everyone is as happy as a family. Mr. Wang is our elder, and all young people like to listen to him tell stories. This feeling of joy will make people relax their guard. But this time, the degree of excess is indeed beyond my estimate. " I have experienced a lot of things about "Windless Three Foot Waves", and I couldn’t figure it out a few years ago. That dirty wave is "blossoming in my heart", but now that I have grown up, I understand that there are people in the world who have bad hearts. In the face of these, I have long been "a piece of water without clothes". I just want to be unfair for Teacher Wang! How nice he is, he is so decent that a friend has described it: In front of Teacher Wang, I feel that I am wrong if I don’t do anything. I want to emphasize that you must make up things out of nothing, and come at me if you have anything, don’t mention seniors again!

  Reporter: How did Wang Xueqi react after seeing the news? Have you talked?

  Fan Bingbing: I have contact. I contacted Teacher Wang as soon as I got off the plane and received a call from my colleagues. I told him, "Old Wang, Xiao Fan is sorry for you, and I have implicated you. It is very dangerous to be a colleague with me, and it has become a’cohabitation ‘." Teacher Wang said to me very seriously: "We are not just colleagues, we are also revolutionary comrades, and comrades should share weal and woe together." He spoke very easily, but I knew that his mood could not be good. Teacher Wang has been a soldier all his life, and he values honor the most. I have never experienced this… I have a strong sense of guilt in my heart.

       On the evening of January 11, the 2019 Sina Weibo Night was held in Beijing, and Di Lizheba made an appearance.

  Earlier, Reba had posted a post on "Oasis", ridiculing himself that walking the red carpet is often "super cold and pretending that the years are quiet and I am very used to it". When meeting with Sina Entertainment today, Reba also lamented that Beijing is very cold in winter, and it was freezing when it was just walking the red carpet. Although it is cold, Reba’s black tight dress today is really stunning. Talking about the secret of maintaining his figure, Reba laughed that in fact, he has recently gained weight after indulging in various night snacks such as roadside stalls, hot pot, and lobster noodles. His good figure is only due to the tight dress.

  Today’s Weibo night, Reba will also reunite with the previous students of "Creation Camp 2019", the boy group R1SE, who successfully debuted from the program. "Mentor" Reba said that he has been following the development of R1SE, especially impressed by their interesting interviews, "For example, they say they’don’t deserve it ‘!"

  Recently, Reba has also presented the singing and dancing stage on some occasions. When asked if he is interested in developing in the direction of "singing and dancing singers" in the new year, Reba "applies what he has learned" to R1SE’s famous saying: "I don’t deserve it! (laughs) "

  When asked about the loss of singing and dancing skills, "I don’t deserve it" exposed that I was addicted to supper and gained weight

  Sina Entertainment: Before, when I teased female artists on the red carpet on the oasis, it was "super cold and pretend that the years are quiet and I am very used to it." Are you also walking the red carpet with this mentality today?

  Di Li Reba: Yes, always. Then today at the Water Cube (the event venue) I thought it would be very warm, because just after swimming, I thought it should be steaming hot, but I didn’t expect it to be so cold.

  Sina Entertainment: Every time you walk the red carpet, it will become a hot topic. Share with us your little Tips for walking the red carpet?

  Di Lizheba: Actually not. I used to be a little less confident, but I didn’t know where to put my hands when walking, so I would put a "yeah" or something, but now it doesn’t matter, just because I walk too much, I may have a little more confidence.

  Sina Entertainment: Some celebrities have shared that there will be some warm measures on the red carpet in winter, such as wearing long johns under the skirt. Do you have any secrets like this?

  Di Lizheba: In fact, when I was a child, I used to watch celebrities walk the red carpet. In winter, I watched them wear dresses. I always thought that if they had some kind of oil that could be rubbed on their bodies, they would not be cold. I always thought so. But I didn’t expect that they would really rely on raw endurance! For example, if I wear a longer or more fluffy dress, I should be able to wear long johns, flesh-colored. But if not, like what I have today, I can’t wear anything, just resist.

  Sina Entertainment: We saw your students in "Creation Camp 2019", and R1SE was also on our Weibo night today. Do you have anything to say about their development and changes this year?

  Di Lizheba: It’s the relief of an old sister. Like they have gone from a particularly stressful stage to now being able to complete so much high-intensity work independently, and there are many interviews that require emergency response. I think they have all done a good job and are very interesting.

  Sina Entertainment: Did you watch their interview?

  Di Lizheba: Yes, as they said in the interview, "I don’t deserve it" hahaha, I saw it all!

  Sina Entertainment: Actually, the boy band dance you danced in "Creation Camp" had a very enthusiastic response. Recently, there have been many singing and dancing performances. Do you want to develop into singing and dancing singers?

  Di Lizheba: No. Because in fact, when I first entered this industry, everyone also chased after the girl group, and I also watched some girl group and boy group dances. So many beautiful little sisters and little sisters played together, I think it was a very happy thing. Everyone could take care of each other, and I felt very happy and surrounded by love. I quite envied them. So in 2019, because I was a promoter, I used this opportunity to try it, but I didn’t want to develop in this direction. I don’t deserve it (laughs)!

  Sina Entertainment: I saw that you also opened an Oasis account last year. You often post some daily things that female celebrities want to eat but don’t dare to eat.

  Di Lizheba: I didn’t dare to eat it, I just wanted to eat it and went to eat it.

  Sina Entertainment: Fans are also curious, like the crayfish and hot pot you sent, which one is your favorite?

  Di Lizheba: Even these night snacks are my favorite. Because we are filming during the day, sometimes we can’t order takeout in some more remote places, and we can only order a lot of takeout when we go back to the city at night, so I may eat more at night, but I am indeed fat, so I will control it a little bit.

  Sina Entertainment: Are there any favorite foods recently?

  Di Li Reba: Recently, I like to eat crayfish noodles, which is to put noodles in crayfish, rice cakes, and a green thing like winter squash, which I think is delicious. There are also some cinnamon buns and the like.

  Sina Entertainment: You really studied these things carefully.

  Di Lizheba: Yes, there really is.

  Sina Entertainment: But your "good body" related topics often rush into our hot search list. How do you maintain a good body while eating?

  Di Li Reba: (Clothes) Keep it! Don’t you keep it all, let it out and scare you to death (laughs)!

  Thank you for becoming an actor in 2020. I hope to focus on filming and not accept variety shows.

  Sina Entertainment: It has been 10 years since our Weibo. Do you still remember what you were doing 10 years ago?

  Di Lizheba: I was 17 years old 10 years ago. When I was 17, I should have been working and commuting to work every day in a song and dance troupe.

  Sina Entertainment: Did you set a goal to become an actor at that time?

  Di Lizheba: I didn’t have any such dreams at that time, including after I went to the Shanghai Theater Academy. I wanted to be a dancer at the age of 17 and perform well on the stage.

  Sina Entertainment: After 10 years, what do you think of the current state of Di Lizheba?

  Di Lizheba: How should I evaluate it? It’s just an unexpected surprise. I think being an actor is a happy thing. First, I am a girl who likes novelty very much, and I changed places in three or four months to play different roles. Second, like I did a lot of new things in 2019, such as being the host and promoter of "Creation Camp 2019", and being a little sister who accompanies everyone in "Extreme Challenge". So I think that being an actor has actually given me a lot of new attempts. If I didn’t become an actor, I would never have been able to try it in my life, so I am very grateful that I chose to act at that time, chose to be an actor, and then I can always stick to my dream.

  Sina Entertainment: You also shared a lot of breakthroughs last year, such as participating in "Creation Camp 2019" and "Extreme Challenge". I don’t know what new attempts you want to make in the variety field this year?

  Di Lizheba: Because last year was a relatively relaxed state, it was also a time to think about how I should plan my work in the future. In fact, at the end of the year, including the beginning of 2020, I took a few days off and thought about it carefully. I think this year, I may still go to filmmaking and do my major seriously. For variety shows, I may not have too much time, because I still hope to devote myself to filmmaking.

  Sina Entertainment: I just said that I took a break, did I secretly go on vacation?

  Di Lizheba: No, I just had a good night’s sleep, washed clothes or something, and piled up a lot of clothes.

  Sina Entertainment: Can you cook for yourself?

  Di Lizheba: Yes, but I haven’t paid for natural gas recently, so I didn’t do it.

  Sina Entertainment: Let’s talk about the plans for the recent TV series. It seems that "Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book" will also be broadcast. Can you introduce it?

  Di Li Reba: "Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book" I don’t know when it will be broadcast, but I have been looking forward to meeting you soon. Fans may have been waiting for a long time. I hope you can also support it when you see "Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book", and then see if it will be different from the previous "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles Peach Blossom".

  Sina Entertainment: Finally, let me share my wishes for 2020.

  Di Lizheba: In 2020, I hope I can play the role I want to play, and then I can be myself forever, and I can be healthy and everything goes well.

Chen Edison’s comeback, who is stalling for time?

 On March 17, 2010, at 9 p.m., the launch of Levi’s Jeans at the Taipei Creative Factory was crowded with people. Although the opening guest Jolin Tsai kept the spotlight on, the male model who appeared in the finale was the focus of the whole scene. His name was Edison Chen. Then came the bigger news: the hipster who left the entertainment industry two years ago for "pornographic photos" officially announced his comeback. Despite the nervous performance of the day, a few days later’s blog revealed his flamboyant personality more realistically: "I want to take my world back!"

 Since the beginning of this year, Edison Chen has been interviewed by mainland magazines one after another, and his self-created brand stores have also expanded fiercely. Edison Chen is really ready, but the key ****** the public ready too? The reporter interviewed Edison Chen’s partners, media people who interviewed him, and brand representatives who endorsed him to sort out Edison Chen’s experience in the past two years and take the pulse for his comeback plan.

 Indefinite = 2 years and 1 month

 I will retire from the Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. "- Hong Kong, February 21, 2008

 "It’s the best of times, the best of times, and I’m ready for my comeback." – March 22, 2010 Blog

 Edison Chan once sang in the 2007 song "It’s Me": "Edison has matured, um, more mature, more clear about the direction of my life, so many changes, but my personality has not changed, I am still the little *** who ran around Lan Kwai Fong seven years ago…" At that time, Edison Chan, who had been entangled in scandals such as picking up girls and having a bad temper, was indeed gradually maturing, but "pornographic photos" made him return to the "little ***" era overnight.

 "Indefinitely" is a slippery word, and now everyone knows that in Edison Chen’s dictionary, it means "two years and one month." On March 22, Edison Chen posted a photo of himself attending an endorsement event in Taiwan on his blog, showing his smile a little childish. Then there is the "return" rhetoric: "From now on, I want to take back my world! Yes, it is to take back, not to join!" Return, the first time Edison Chen mentioned the word after "pornographic photos", but it was not an impulse. His return to the entertainment industry has been under way since he testified in court in Vancouver in late February 2009.

 On May 13, 2009, the final trial of the "Porn Porn" case, the judge sentenced the defendant Shi Kejun to all three counts of "dishonest use of computers" and imprisoned him for 8 months and 15 days. Chen Edison was identified as the victim. Although this verdict caused controversy among netizens, and even Nicholas Tse "didn’t know what to say", it did legally relieve Chen Edison. In an interview with CNN in June 2009, Chen Edison first talked about the "Porn Porn" incident. He did not deny that he had made mistakes, but emphasized his identity as the victim and apologized to Cecilia Cheung and other female celebrities who were implicated. In the same interview, Chen Edison revealed his ambition to return to the entertainment industry by saying that the indefinite period "can be 5 minutes, or it can be 2000 years."

 According to media reports, Edison Chen’s boss, Lin Jianyue, has been "public relations" for Edison Chen’s comeback. In March this year, he responded to the media on when Edison Chen will return: "To be honest, everyone knows that he made mistakes, but the crime is not enough to die. If he is not dead and he is not sentenced to death, then why give up on him? If the law really sentenced him to death, then we will give up on him."

 Retire from the entertainment industry, not the fashion industry

 God is so kind to me, fortunately I still have my business, otherwise it would be difficult for me to come, I don’t know what will happen to me. "

 - Interviewed in November 2009

 After "quitting the entertainment industry," Edison Chen continued to operate in the public eye as a trendy store owner. As he later said in an interview with China Entrepreneur magazine, "business" became the biggest support point in his life.

 Edison Chan’s efforts to explore the fashion field originated from a "betrayal" experience in 2002. At that time, Edison Chen had just finished filming Chen Musheng’s film "Wish Tree", only to learn that the agency contract had been sold to Lin Jianyue’s Red House manager without his knowledge. Chen Edison began to feel insecure as an entertainer, and he hid in Tokyo, Japan for two months, where he and his friend Pan Shiheng from the United States "paid homage" to the Tokyo trend representative and fashion designer Hiroshi Fujiwara. With Fujiwara’s encouragement, on May 20, 2003, Chen and Pan opened the trend store Juice in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and later created their own brand CLOT, and started their own trend brand business. Later, the Shanghai store ACU also opened.

 In April 2008, just after the "pornographic photo door" controversy passed, there were media reports that Edison Chen’s Shanghai trendy store was deserted, and the whole store was sold and no one cared. At that time, a regular customer said, "I can’t wear his clothes anymore, I will be laughed at by my friends." It turned out that the clearance was just a respite for Edison Chen before finding a new location.

 On December 5 last year, Edison Chen’s new Shanghai store Juice held an opening ceremony. Liu Weiqiang, Eason Chan’s wife Xu Haoying, Fujiwara Hao and others were present to congratulate. This was Edison Chen’s first public appearance in mainland China after "pornographic photos". Many die-hard fans also came to help out. Contrary to the depression before the store was closed, the entire road was surrounded that day, and the police had to come forward to maintain order.

 Recently, Edison Chen was photographed in Shanghai to check the performance of the new store and lead his employees to celebrate the success, and the second store in Shanghai is also planning to open in May this year. Previously, there were media reports that Edison Chen’s development in the fashion field is due to the large financial support of a "mainland female rich". In early December 2009, when Edison Chen was renovating the store, a mysterious woman was photographed by the media beside him. But the staff Rachel later said that the woman was just a good friend of Edison Chen, not a female rich man at all. But she confirmed the expansion plan of Edison Chen’s trendy brand: Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places are all under planning.

 Open your heart at the right time

 I know that many people know Edison Chen through reporters and the media. You can believe their nonsense, or you can make your own decisions with your own head. "

 - June 16, 2007 Blog

 Chen Edison’s comeback impulse is also reflected in his attitude towards Chinese-language media. When the JUICE trend store opened in Shanghai, Chen Edison publicly invited a number of fashion and entertainment media to interview. Although he didn’t talk much about entertainment, the reporters present felt that Chen Edison enjoyed talking to the media and answered questions incessantly. It seems that things are changing. In a long interview published in the February 2010 issue of the mainland magazine "GQ Zhizu", Chen Edison talked about his single-parent family and his childhood urge to enter the underworld.

 Xiaohong (a pseudonym), a staff member of GQ Zhizu magazine who contacted the interview, told this reporter that the interview was conducted in November last year. Through contact with her, she found that Edison Chen’s attitude towards the media is candid, detached, and his purpose is very clear. "If he needs your magazine and newspaper and wants to talk to you, he will open his heart." In her opinion, Edison Chen’s choice to give an interview in November must be related to the opening of a store in Shanghai in December, and his return to the entertainment industry is also to use his popularity to expand his business. "He did not hide such an attitude outside of the interview," Xiaohong said.

 The interview lasted four hours, and Edison Chen was very cooperative. When it came to his feelings for his father, his attitude towards girls and sensitive topics such as "pornographic photos", he asked to answer in English, because he was worried that his Mandarin could not be expressed correctly. Edison Chen admitted at the time that he had not yet decided whether to return to the front job of the entertainment industry, but that he would definitely be a producer. "I have decided to make three movies, one funny movie, one ghost movie, and one police and gangster movie."

 Edison Chan’s flamboyant personality is not only a must-have character for "hipsters", but also often leads to displeasure because he is too frank. For example, in an interview with the US media, he bluntly said that "he has forgiven himself", "indefinite is not forever", "pornographic photos are a gift from God", etc., all of which once aroused public disgust. According to media reports, Edison Chan is frank and true in the eyes of friends, and sometimes overly happy and angry. A Man, a Hong Kong reporter who has interviewed Edison Chan many times, also told this reporter that Edison Chan is the most authentic Hong Kong artist he has ever met. He has a clear love and hatred, and sometimes it is not easy to control himself.
