The difference between an average actor and an excellent actor
I edited together the off-screen footage of Hou Minghao and Director Zhizhu discussing "Into the Blue Cloud" and the perfect presentation in the final play.
I really like Hou Minghao who works so hard.
He clearly grasped the core psychological state of Ji Bozai in the scene of "Into the Blue Cloud", "I know everything is fake." Based on this premise, he carried out a rigorous logical expansion of the character's reaction (this is what Xiao Hou often does when shaping a character).
Since he knows it is fake, then the other party repeatedly using the same method to ask four times for stimulation should be ineffective or even ridiculous to him. (This reflects my brother's extreme pursuit of the rationality of the character's behavior.[Hug] He accurately deduced that if he repeated this question (asking four times), he wouldn't be able to deliver a layered performance, as the character's internal logic wouldn't support it. This would cause the play to "fall apart," disconnecting his performance from the intended context of the script and making the character's internal logic seem untenable. Furthermore
, he didn't simply raise the question, but offered a solution: "She then found another way to provoke my emotions." This shifted the tension of the scene, transforming it from a single, repetitive stimulus into a dynamic, escalating one.
Even though Ji Bozai knew the master was fake, his emotions might at some point be pricked on
a rational level: knowing it was fake, he still felt pain, leading to tears .
This rift between reason and emotion is where Ji Bozai finds his greatest human depth and dramatic tension.
The rage Ji Bozai feels when he kills the fake master is more about anger at himself for feeling pain despite knowing it's fake. It's anger at this uncontrollable emotion. This anger imbues the act of killing with complex psychological motivations, rather than a simple plot-based task.
It enriches Ji Bozai's character.
Although my brother is indeed a rare ceiling-level appearance in the domestic entertainment industry, he is far more than just an actor with good looks. He is a performer with ideas, technical skills and creativity. When he shoots a film, he is not only completing a task, but also creating art. This deep exploration of the character's psychological logic and the pursuit of the layered performance are the key differences between ordinary actors and excellent actors.
There are a lot of haters both internationally and in China, and they seem to be doing everything they can to…
i’m hoping he can, because apparently i read that bftb and dy (also youku) rose up to 10k around the mid broadcast period. so when the story picks up and the binge watchers start to watch as well

the same reason why the other boys are badmouthing jibozai behind his back and the girls in the pavilion are trying to get close to him to get rewards… the boys are jelly of him and those girls are leeches… HMH unfortunately has a lot of those in his circle. people who try to cozy up to him and take advantage of him. people who try to buy social media negative buzzers to bully and defame him. but he does have people who really care for him and that’s why he treasures them so much, tries to give so much back to his fans who pamper him and defend him. being in his fandom is a two way street and it’s lovely despite it all
i saw a music reviewer video on douyin praisinh hmh’s huo li quan kai. then suddenly the treasured voice official commented something along the lines of “potential guest scouted” i’m so happy and hoping he really gets invited for a solo stage or maybe a duet with zhangbichen…
posting a translated postIn today's interview, Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao both spoke very well about the relationship…
"He knew that he was being deceived by her, but he knew very well that he was begging her to lie to him and to not leave him." "Even though he knew that this tear was fake, he thought, okay, I forgive you."
"The body may have realized faster than his heart that he had fallen in love with Ji Bozai."
In today's interview, Hou Minghao and Lu Yuxiao both spoke very well about the relationship between the male and female protagonists. It can be seen that they really put a lot of thought into the emotional transformation of the characters:
i end up just watching twice. once for the visuals, once to understand the plot hahaha
turns out it’s not only us, i was reading xhs and many people experienced the same thing. i quote a netizen “there’s a person who said，his face should apologize to his acting and singing skills” hahahaa really, he gets underestimated a lot because of his looks hahahaa
"Many of the interesting plots you see in the drama were actually designed and directed by Hou Minghao himself."…
he has always tended to help his fellow actors, i remember in an actor variety show he did that and that’s why she was super shocked when the judge chose her over him. and he was just “mei shir” “it’s okay” at the side… not to mention the variety show he had with yang chao yue. he helped her sooo so much and it really shows that he ended up indulging her a lot too even though he was so annoyed at all her weird requests.. 🤣 yes he is super smart, pays attention to detail, sees the bigger picture and kind to help his fellow castmates and workmates
Those days during Yuming Tea filming, everyday came with facial mask to the makeup room 🙄 - trying the product…
haha could be, but in my experience HY’s makeup artist likes it when their actors use facial mask right before they put on makeup.. i occasionally saw xk’s videos using them too before coming to do his makeup
ZhaoYuanZhou was a 34000 years old Demon compared to young JBZ, anyway HMH outside the play is still a cute kitten.https://x.com/DhilaAhmad2/status/1859404317247275391?t=Y8oTqIE9VaEzF1oWQwSxoQ&s=19
haha i agree anyway it’s his magic, he completely transforms himself for any role. from makeup, style, mannerisms & acting, voiceover, physique. you name it. he did it. that’s why all his roles are all very separate and it’s easy to tell them apart.
“wait, since when is there such a cool/good looking and also great at singing guy?”
honestly he’s been in the industry for ages and his early fans already know that, but he just hasn’t gotten a chance to showcase his talents using a mainstream popular song up till now.
i’ve been checking weibo, rednote and douyin lately and there’s been a lot of praise from new fans and music critics creators for HMH! He’s just such a gem waiting to be discovered by people, once they start digging archaeological footage on him they will fall down the rabbit hole! haha welcome to the fandom people 🤣😂

This video will make any director, industry insider and audience take notice of him. Hou Minghao is an excellent actor!
