Interview with China News Network 🥰🥰https://news.sina.cn/2022-04-26/detail-imcwipii6511107.d.html?sinawapsharesource=newsapp&wm=3049_0013&sendweibouid=7517194708&sendweibouid=5993119278&sendweibouid=7493494688&sendweibouid=7543220103…
The excerpt from the interview is as follows:
Q: What kind of person is the "juvenile Zhu Di" in your heart?
CY: He is a very vivid character. From being naughty as a teenager to joining the army, he was beaten with a military stick, went to the battlefield, and made many friends; when he returned to Beijing, he secretly assisted for the people’s plight, and wanted to contribute to the society; from his mentality to behavior, he grew and changed. However, the bright and perseverance in his heart has not changed.
He has the side of an aggressive young man, and the side of being stubborn and unyielding, as well as the side of lofty aspirations and family and country. The combination of many aspects makes the role of the young Zhu Di more three-dimensional.
Q: There are many scenes of being punished and beaten in the play. How did you feel when you played it?
CY: It really hurts to hit with a stick, but because the force cannot be seen in the camera, so Mr. Zhang Fengyi demonstrated how to hit with "smart". What everyone saw later was less force but felt more real. It also requires experience. The scene in which Mr. Chen Baoguo hit Xiao Zhu Di with his shoes was actually played on the spot. At that time, no one expected him to hit him. I naturally acted according to the emotion in that situation. Now, when I look at it, I feel that the reaction is quite real. Yes, it's just "Dad, Mother", although there is no preset, but the effect presented is quite interesting.
Q: Will there be pressure on the veteran actors of the show?
CY: There is definitely pressure. Because my performance was still very young at the time, I also worried that if my performance was not good, it would affect the role. The seniors loved us very much and encouraged us all the time. So now every time I think of this character I shot, I feel very lucky to have this opportunity to learn and accumulate. I feel that every scene is quite challenging. After all, facing so many senior teachers, I feel nervous inside. But all the teachers are very kind. They let our juniors relax every time and give me a lot of encouragement.
Q: In your impression, what kind of people are Chen Baoguo and Zhang Fengyi?
CY: The two teachers are very respectable performing artists. In the process of filming, you can feel their love for the play and strict requirements for the details of the characters. They are also very loving elders outside the play. They taught us their performance experience. I really miss the time when I listened to the two teachers.
Q: After the broadcast of "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight", did you pay attention to the evaluation of the outside world?
Cheng Yi: I have seen some of them, but what impressed me was that Xiao Zhu Di "run away from marriage ineffectively", that is, he couldn't escape no matter how he escaped, but instead he was hit with a military stick, and also said that Xiao Zhu Di is an indestructible water tank, very interesting haha Ha ha.
Q: How to deal with positive/negative reviews?
CY: As an actor, the test standard is more from the audience, and it is very happy to see that my character is recognized and liked. I will accept negative comments, and it is also the motivation to make myself work harder. If there are some malicious ones, I will let myself not care too much.
Q: "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" is a drama filmed in 2018. Many times there will be delays between the audience and the characters. Do you feel a little regretful?
CY: Memories may be blurred, but things that have been learned and precipitated will not, such as the shining points seen from the senior actors, comparing their own shortcomings, and how to make their performances better, these will always be remembered. heart. But art itself is a pity. I think it is necessary to face it with a calm attitude. As long as I keep working hard and making progress, all the efforts are worth it.
Q: You have experienced a lot in the past two years. Has your mood changed?
CY: From the beginning to the actor industry, to the accumulation of works that are seen by some audiences. Now that I have been filming, trying different roles and challenges, I feel that I am more mature and able to sink in. I hope that I can play every role well, and every actor is looking forward to winning an award, but I think I still need to work hard.
Q: Any regrets?
CY: No regrets, because this is my dream.

Chat | Cheng Yi: I have never regretted becoming an actor China-Singapore Entertainment, Beijing, April 26 (Liu Yue)
Recently, the historical drama "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" is on the air. The play tells the story of Zhu Di, the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, King Yan, who gradually grew into an outstanding political and military strategist under the baptism of the court, palace and battlefield in the early Ming Dynasty. A breathtaking picture of Ming history.
Whether it is the ups and downs of the plot, the scenery full of fireworks, or the majestic style, it is quite bright. In addition to Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Ji and other powerful veteran actors joining in, Cheng Yi, who plays the young Zhu Di, is also eye-catching.
It is more appropriate to describe the "juvenile/teenager Zhu Di" created by Cheng Yi as "when I was young with fresh clothes and angry horses, I saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day". On the one hand, he is rebellious, is a "naughty student" who often skips classes, and even left the palace to join the army in order to refuse marriage; on the other hand, he is arrogant, with clear eyes and a heart for the country and the world.
This kind of mature temperament is mixed in the youth who is still a little young, and it seems contradictory and harmonious. The stubborn and unyielding side, as well as the lofty-minded side of the family and the country. The combination of many aspects makes the role of the young Zhu Di more three-dimensional."
In order to play a role well, preparation is indispensable. In order to shape the youthful period of "Zhu Di" well, Cheng Yi checked the materials in advance and asked the seniors humbly: "I have received a lot of guidance on the direction of the characters from the director and screenwriter laoshi/teacher, and I was also inspired by the performance methods of the senior teachers on the set. Learn how to make yourself more relaxed and give characters more natural."
What makes people laugh is that the young Zhu Di in "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" was pictured by netizens as "being beaten". Because he joined the army without the knowledge of his elders, he was first rewarded with forty military sticks by his future father in law, Xu Da, and then his father Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a shoe to spank. Ten whips, everything is the "price" of youth growth.
But mentioning his "beating" experience, Cheng Yi admitted that he has learned a lot of acting experience. He revealed that the "shoe sole attack" from his father in the play was the on-the-spot performance of Mr. Chen Baoguo: "The scene in which Mr. Chen Baoguo beat young Zhu Di with his shoes was actually played on the spot. At that time, no one thought he would hit. In that situation, I naturally acted according to that emotion. Now, when I look at it, I feel that the reaction is quite real..."
In fact, as a young actor, playing on the same stage with a group of seniors, it is normal for people to be under a lot of pressure, and Cheng Yi is no exception: "There must be pressure, and at that time I was worried that if my performance was not good, it would affect this role. "Fortunately, during the filming process, Cheng Yi benefited a lot from the encouragement and teaching of Zhang Fengyi and Chen Baoguo. "The seniors have been encouraging us. The two teachers are very respectable performing artists. During the filming process, you can feel their love for the play and their strict requirements for the details of the characters. They are also very loving elders outside the play, and they passed on their acting experience to us. I really miss the time when I listened to the lectures of the two teachers."
The love and admiration from 2018 has not dissipated until today. In fact, time has always been between the actor and the audience. There is always a delay between the eyes in front of the screen and the characters on the screen, and sometimes even so long that even the actor's memory of that time period begins to blur. Cheng Yi did not feel regret, he smiled cheerfully: "Memory may be blurred, but things learned and precipitated will not, such as the shining points I saw from senior actors, I will always remember these in my heart. But art it’s a pity in itself, and I think I need to face it with a calm attitude, as long as I keep working hard and making progress, all the hard work is worth it.”
In Cheng Yi, you can see the sharp and gentle appearance of time - when he was a teenager, he rode a green-skin train alone to Beijing to pursue his dream, and the fire in his heart ignite the young and immature boy into a resolute and brave man today. Young man, time has sculpted him in a drastic manner. Speaking of those difficult days, he was grateful: "I didn't feel tired at that time, it was as if a small flame was burning in my heart, I felt that I was chasing my dream, and I was very excited."
After more than ten years, he has gone through the ups and downs in life, but time has gently brushed the unchanging actor's original intention. When it comes to his expectations for his future acting career, Cheng Yi's goal is simple and sincere: "Playing every role well and winning awards is something every actor is looking forward to, but I think I still need to work hard. I want to be an actor. The belief of a good actor supports me to persevere, I have no regrets, this is my dream."
In the end, Cheng Yi left a sentence for himself ten years ago, "Thank you for your persistence and hard work, allowing me to come here."
Interview with the 28 y.o Qi Qi at the filming location of Imperial Age 😄😁 He talked about his role, "I feel (he is) like myself, because of my age, tend to be mature and take on responsibility. So I think, when playing the role of (young) Zhu Di, there are many aspects that is closer to me." https://video.h5.weibo.cn/1034:4761738944643221/4761739155213017 Adding english sub : https://youtu.be/MU8WCboTIEQ

Very CUTEEEEE Qi Qi interview 😆😆😆😆 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4758886446272643 https://youtu.be/lg6Dfb080ww https://youtu.be/AH9hzqP0BL8 Youku (Y) : Use 3 words to describe yourself (as young Zhu Di) CY : Family & country-minded, fearless, teenage/youthful spirits Y : What skills are you most proud of? CY : That must be able to resist beating, beaten often 😭 Y : After marriage with Xu Miao Yun, who do you think will be compromised? CY : Do you think she pinched me to death? 😂 No spoilers for this, because everyone must follow the drama to know. I think it is gonna be cool later on. Y : My father vs my father in law, who is more scarier/you afraid of? CY : Both! Father and elder also afraid of 🥴 Y : Which one is more painful to feel, the army/military stick or the (shoes) sole? CY : At first the army stick, but after father also hit me with that shoes sole, it was just like putting salt on the wound, because it hurts just right after the beating, so it both hurt 🥲 Y : What attracks you the most about the role of young Zhu Di? CY : Because young Zhu Di is in high spirits, very stubborn side, and mischief, but he is the prince that still have big ambition, aspiring to contribute, he rather run away and join to army, than being force to marry. I think young Zhu Di is really interesting to me. Sometimes he is like when i was a kid, every child has a stubborn side, hot-blooded, and have dreams. Y : What are the similarities between young Zhu Di and yourself? CY : I think it is not admit defeat, once you know something, you have to move forward, do your best to make it happen. Y : What do you think of the scene of standing on the tree and feed the birds? CY : This scene is interesting, he just found the bird nest, and because it is a fake tree, they actually create a big tree, i am standing on that and there is a ladder to climb up, so the air above is pretty good, you can see the whole palace, and it is quite interesting to stand on that, i don't want to come down. Y : Is Cheng Yi in life also do it often, some playful, small expressions? CY : I had some when i was young, but not when i got older. Because i am older now so i am more calm. When i was young, there were some small expressions 🤨 (he gave small samples 😅😅), move around a lot. But when you've grown up, it is gone. Y : There is a lot of interaction with 12th prince in the drama. Is this part of coaxing the child a true performance? CY : In life, because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, play with them as soon as you get home, i feel like a kid myself, king of children, so i am used to play with them. So when we were filming, because the children in the drama are so cute, and they are all good at acting, so just have fun with them. Because I am also the king of children, so it is a bit close in real life. Y : Have you been impressed by your own armor in the play? CY : It looks good. Once you wear the armor, wow, this armor is pretty good. Every day I just touch it and take pictures of myself, keep it and send it to my parents, "how cool is it? It is priceless!" Y: How did you feel about the scenes of galloping on the battlefield? CY : Just fun. I remember the prairie when I went to Inner Mongolia, beef and mutton. Just look at that every day, see many cows, sheep, and horses, just have different moods. And the horse is actually very good and obedient. But the horse also has some uncontrollable emotions, there are some occasions when we were filming, I've had this a few times, but luckily I've had better luck, immediately restrain the saddle. But this is actually quite normal, when you are shooting a big scene, in the process of filming, the crew is actually very good in preventive measures, gives us early training. Y : How do you feel about being ridiculed for "either being beaten or on the way (to be beaten)"? CY : Umm, yes, that's right, after performing young Zhu Di, in the past four years, the roles were either beaten or on the way being beaten by others, or often stabbed by others. Y : We saw Mr. Zhang Fengyi demonstrating how to hit a military stick. What happened at that time? CY : The crew laoshi, they maybe don't know how to beat with skill. Because they hit me dozens of times in the early stage, but the director and Zhang Fengyi laoshi after reviewing and said "you hurt this kid, but I can see that it looks fake (in hitting him)." So Zhang Fengyi laoshi went to demonstrate in person, how to use skill to swing the stick, to hit me. I still remember that scene very well, because you were shooting, and as a boy, had to save face, and say "just hit it (for real)." And it takes for almost an hour, right? Well it is quite a long time anyway, at the time, i feel okay. But when I went back, when I took a shower, it is really green (swollen). But I think it's normal, during your filming, it's normal for you to bump and get hurt. Y : At that time, when you were beaten on the screen, do you think that the audience would crazy off-screen laughs? CY : I didn't think about it, but if this works well, if the audience is happy, that's fine too. We really didn't think about it at the time. At the time, just bear with it. Y : There are a lot of old/senior actors in the drama, how does it feel to work with the teachers/laoshi? CY : The biggest feeling is to see the laoshi, as the true benchmark. They are very relaxed in performance. Because only after working with them, I just realized that I have some problems, so I know where the direction of my efforts is more clearly. I think this is very good. And their rigor/thoroughness with the role of the play, I remember being very lovely. Director Gao Xixi and Chen Baoguo laoshi, the two are so cute, we were performing together that day and I sat in the back, the two of them are "It is wrong, I don't think the shade of your floor is right. It is too new." Just the two laoshi, discussing about floor tile and studied it so deeply. Y : Do you have any illusions about what kind of state you will be when you reach their age? CY : I hope I can maintain the enthusiasm like the laoshi, including Zhang Fengyi laoshi, Chen Baoguo laoshi, and other laoshi. You watch them performed in the process, I think if at that age, if i was still acting, i think it is worth learning. Y : Replying comments from netizens. CY : (reading the comment) Q1 : Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, It's also the first time I'm laughing like this when I see the beating tidbits. "Is it really funny?" It is really funny, but it hurts in my heart because it's real,and it's also very interesting, this tidbit will be treasured forever by me. "Hmm, you have the final say, just be happy, but your heart won't have to hurt." Q2 : young Zhu Di and Si Feng also have been beaten, Si Feng is like a broken vase, young Zhu Di is an unbreakable water tank. "Unbreakable water tank,,young Zhu Di should be an iron tank, right? King Kong, Transformer." Hahaha,,🤣🤣🤣🤣 Qi Qi is so funny!! He is so expressive and lively!! Hmm, i don't think you are more calm when you grow up, but you are more adorable and cute day by day!! 😆😆😆😆😉😘😘😘
I see you are very active on here. Are you fluent in Chinese? Or have you studied Chinese before?
Hmm i don't really active on twitter before though but i heard about that too, but because i don't really know what is really happening so i couldn't make any comment on that. For now, i welcome to any Cheng Yi fans out there, because we all here to spread our love for Cheng Yi. If there were some mistakes, let's just remind each other in a friendly way 🥰 And i only use twitter link for additional information, because instagram is rather difficult to use for link for desktop setting.
He sneaked into the military and broke all kinds of rules along the way.
The 1st one because he used fake ID to join into the army. The 2nd because he directly confront the other general, being he is only "small soldier" there, it is pretty rude haha 😅
At this rate idg what Youku really is thinking, why even it takes forever to release this drama when:1. It's only…
Haha,, yes Youku, people are getting pretty impatient here! 😅😅😅 Anyway, if the rumor about the drama is trying to get their hands for TV network airing is true, maybe that is why the airing date is still unknown, although the rumor is in Q2 (April-June) airing. Sharing airing rights could have some effect for Youku potential viewers. But for us, whoever gives english subtitles is the one we choose 😏
Yes Q2 please!!! April or May, let it be true!!! Anyway i hear either this weekend or next week, they gonna released something new!! 😆😆😆 either a new OST or trailer 🤔 The official drama weibo has a hidden post. I miss my Fu Yun Shen,,🥺🥺🥺
1

China-Singapore Entertainment, Beijing, April 26 (Liu Yue)
Recently, the historical drama "Mountains, Rivers and Moonlight" is on the air.

Speaking of those difficult days, he was grateful: "I didn't feel tired at that time, it was as if a small flame was burning in my heart, I felt that I was chasing my dream, and I was very excited."
After more than ten years, he has gone through the ups and downs in life, but time has gently brushed the unchanging actor's original intention. When it comes to his expectations for his future acting career, Cheng Yi's goal is simple and sincere: "Playing every role well and winning awards is something every actor is looking forward to, but I think I still need to work hard. I want to be an actor. The belief of a good actor supports me to persevere, I have no regrets, this is my dream."
In the end, Cheng Yi left a sentence for himself ten years ago, "Thank you for your persistence and hard work, allowing me to come here."

Youku (Y) : Use 3 words to describe yourself (as young Zhu Di)
CY : Family & country-minded, fearless, teenage/youthful spirits
Y : What skills are you most proud of?
CY : That must be able to resist beating, beaten often 😭
Y : After marriage with Xu Miao Yun, who do you think will be compromised?
CY : Do you think she pinched me to death? 😂 No spoilers for this, because everyone must follow the drama to know. I think it is gonna be cool later on.
Y : My father vs my father in law, who is more scarier/you afraid of?
CY : Both! Father and elder also afraid of 🥴
Y : Which one is more painful to feel, the army/military stick or the (shoes) sole?
CY : At first the army stick, but after father also hit me with that shoes sole, it was just like putting salt on the wound, because it hurts just right after the beating, so it both hurt 🥲
Y : What attracks you the most about the role of young Zhu Di?
CY : Because young Zhu Di is in high spirits, very stubborn side, and mischief, but he is the prince that still have big ambition, aspiring to contribute, he rather run away and join to army, than being force to marry. I think young Zhu Di is really interesting to me. Sometimes he is like when i was a kid, every child has a stubborn side, hot-blooded, and have dreams.
Y : What are the similarities between young Zhu Di and yourself?
CY : I think it is not admit defeat, once you know something, you have to move forward, do your best to make it happen.
Y : What do you think of the scene of standing on the tree and feed the birds?
CY : This scene is interesting, he just found the bird nest, and because it is a fake tree, they actually create a big tree, i am standing on that and there is a ladder to climb up, so the air above is pretty good, you can see the whole palace, and it is quite interesting to stand on that, i don't want to come down.
Y : Is Cheng Yi in life also do it often, some playful, small expressions?
CY : I had some when i was young, but not when i got older. Because i am older now so i am more calm. When i was young, there were some small expressions 🤨 (he gave small samples 😅😅), move around a lot. But when you've grown up, it is gone.
Y : There is a lot of interaction with 12th prince in the drama. Is this part of coaxing the child a true performance?
CY : In life, because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, play with them as soon as you get home, i feel like a kid myself, king of children, so i am used to play with them. So when we were filming, because the children in the drama are so cute, and they are all good at acting, so just have fun with them. Because I am also the king of children, so it is a bit close in real life.
Y : Have you been impressed by your own armor in the play?
CY : It looks good. Once you wear the armor, wow, this armor is pretty good. Every day I just touch it and take pictures of myself, keep it and send it to my parents, "how cool is it? It is priceless!"
Y: How did you feel about the scenes of galloping on the battlefield?
CY : Just fun. I remember the prairie when I went to Inner Mongolia, beef and mutton. Just look at that every day, see many cows, sheep, and horses, just have different moods. And the horse is actually very good and obedient. But the horse also has some uncontrollable emotions, there are some occasions when we were filming, I've had this a few times, but luckily I've had better luck, immediately restrain the saddle. But this is actually quite normal, when you are shooting a big scene, in the process of filming, the crew is actually very good in preventive measures, gives us early training.
Y : How do you feel about being ridiculed for "either being beaten or on the way (to be beaten)"?
CY : Umm, yes, that's right, after performing young Zhu Di, in the past four years, the roles were either beaten or on the way being beaten by others, or often stabbed by others.
Y : We saw Mr. Zhang Fengyi demonstrating how to hit a military stick. What happened at that time?
CY : The crew laoshi, they maybe don't know how to beat with skill. Because they hit me dozens of times in the early stage, but the director and Zhang Fengyi laoshi after reviewing and said "you hurt this kid, but I can see that it looks fake (in hitting him)." So Zhang Fengyi laoshi went to demonstrate in person, how to use skill to swing the stick, to hit me. I still remember that scene very well, because you were shooting, and as a boy, had to save face, and say "just hit it (for real)." And it takes for almost an hour, right? Well it is quite a long time anyway, at the time, i feel okay. But when I went back, when I took a shower, it is really green (swollen). But I think it's normal, during your filming, it's normal for you to bump and get hurt.
Y : At that time, when you were beaten on the screen, do you think that the audience would crazy off-screen laughs?
CY : I didn't think about it, but if this works well, if the audience is happy, that's fine too. We really didn't think about it at the time. At the time, just bear with it.
Y : There are a lot of old/senior actors in the drama, how does it feel to work with the teachers/laoshi?
CY : The biggest feeling is to see the laoshi, as the true benchmark. They are very relaxed in performance. Because only after working with them, I just realized that I have some problems, so I know where the direction of my efforts is more clearly. I think this is very good. And their rigor/thoroughness with the role of the play, I remember being very lovely. Director Gao Xixi and Chen Baoguo laoshi, the two are so cute, we were performing together that day and I sat in the back, the two of them are "It is wrong, I don't think the shade of your floor is right. It is too new." Just the two laoshi, discussing about floor tile and studied it so deeply.
Y : Do you have any illusions about what kind of state you will be when you reach their age?
CY : I hope I can maintain the enthusiasm like the laoshi, including Zhang Fengyi laoshi, Chen Baoguo laoshi, and other laoshi. You watch them performed in the process, I think if at that age, if i was still acting, i think it is worth learning.
Y : Replying comments from netizens.
CY : (reading the comment)
Q1 : Cheng Yi, I'm sorry, It's also the first time I'm laughing like this when I see the beating tidbits. "Is it really funny?" It is really funny, but it hurts in my heart because it's real,and it's also very interesting, this tidbit will be treasured forever by me. "Hmm, you have the final say, just be happy, but your heart won't have to hurt."
Q2 : young Zhu Di and Si Feng also have been beaten, Si Feng is like a broken vase, young Zhu Di is an unbreakable water tank. "Unbreakable water tank,,young Zhu Di should be an iron tank, right? King Kong, Transformer."
Hahaha,,🤣🤣🤣🤣 Qi Qi is so funny!! He is so expressive and lively!! Hmm, i don't think you are more calm when you grow up, but you are more adorable and cute day by day!! 😆😆😆😆😉😘😘😘
