Chen Zheyuan's thoughts on "The White Olive Tree"

Chen Zheyuan on his character "Li Zan" :

"He’s a really really nice person, his kindness might not be understood/encountered by everyone in reality, he’s a very kind person. He would sacrifice a lot of his own things for others and carry a lot of burden on his own. My heart aches for him when I'm acting, I think he’s too tired at some times and I hope he’ll be more happy and take things easy but he’s that much of a good person. Still, hope everyone will like him when you watch the drama."

🗣 :  We also saw that Chen Zheyuan recently starred in a new drama "The White Olive Tree", then we'd like to ask Chen Zheyuan, when trying out this theme and this role, did you encounter any challenges? 

⭕ :  At the time of initially getting involved with this drama, the biggest challenge encountered especially at the beginning was the character's image. Previously, I may have mostly played more youthful roles, But suddenly, I had to portray "Li Zan", who is a soldier in the original work, So he possesses the ability to make people feel reassured, So he himself is definitely very meticulous in his thoughts and very steady, then, he can handle whatever matters he encounters with a sense of being in control.  Also, being a soldier, he requires that kind of military demeanour and then he's a character who gives a sense of strength. So, at the beginning, I wondered how I could approach portraying him, Because previously, I had never tried cutting my hair short, it was always long. In terms of appearance, quite a few changes were made. I want to lean towards that direction.

🗣 : It's also a new attempt.    

⭕ :  Right, because I also don't know if it look good after cutting. What if it doesn't look good or something like that.

🗣 : But we have already seen the reuters, still very handsome. Very handsome, really very handsome. 

🗣 : Looking forward to it. 

⭕ :  Thank you (3x).

🗣 :  It feels like your current dressing style seems to have also changed a bit because of playing this role.

⭕ :  Can (3x). Because for the past three to four months, you have consistently been in the mindset of that character, living according to his state and thoughts. Then, you might have some daily behaviours or, your attitude to go through some changes.
