I am not talking about money. I am talking whether her acting can be a breakthrough when she has similar role than her previous role. Because i think it is rather difficult. What is an awards drama story, what is not an awards drama story? What makes you think a popular theme is not an award drama material? The quality of drama depends on many factors, the acting, the director, the visual effect, the story, etc. Titanic wons Oscar and it is also box office movie with billion audiences.
I think whether she had been used by HR before or not, that is another issue. Don't mix the problem. Smart people could use an unfortunate situation to become his or her gain. Cheng Yi also being used by HR to block the slander against them because of the whole FL controversy. But he choose to continue working hard in preparing for his role because he knows his acting is his life saviour. Even when the whole fiasco of the opening ceremony, he change it to become a very fortunate experience he has because he can have meet and greet with his fans, and both of them enjoying themselves. Even make his other fans who couldn't come become very envy of the rare experience, because they could interact more closely and freely.

Yes i also heard about this. But don't you think they have sort it out before they decide to make it a drama? This drama is high budget production, if the foundation is not firm enough, how would they continue to built a "house" above it? HR has been dealing with novel based drama that has similar issue before, but they manage to convert it to another storylines. So what makes you think that they would not do the same with this one?

I don't understand why the need to feel bad just because her role is the same as before. It is not the same issue anymore. It is not a pitiful situation. She must have her own idea when she accept the role. I think it is rather a challenge for her, whether she can make this role has a different impression than her previous role. For example, some people think Cheng Yi is typecasted with a similar role because his roles in several dramas are an abused male lead. But i think he proves that his acting in each of his character has different impression than his previous role. If people only see from the description of the drama, it may feel the same. But if you actually watch his acting, he can bring different feel in each of them. So i don't find her situation is pitiful.

Dialogue with Cheng Yi : Do what you like without feeling tired

01 "Filming is more of an art of everyone"

Blog World (BW)
Cheng Yi (CY)

BW : What do you think of Fu Yunshen's role?
CY : At first, Fu Yunshen was a well-meaning and idealistic person. Later, because of some things, he became more paranoid. There will be some contrasts in his personality. But it hasn't been broadcast yet, I can't spoil it too much (laugh).

BW : You once said that filming is a group art. Is this time also discussing and deciding what kind of character image to present?
CY : "Filming is a kind of group art" actually means that the art presented in the work is the result of the joint efforts of everyone. Actors should absorb after reading the script, have a certain understanding and opinions about their role, combine the whole script story to measure how the role should be interpreted, and then take these ideas to participate in the reading, discuss and run in with everyone.
Directors, screenwriters, as well as the main creative teachers of photography, lighting, costumes, makeup, etc., basically everyone is there, including how the character wears clothes, what makeup and hair styles, all have ideas and designs of. Everyone brainstormed, conceived the role together, and built the structure of the script.
I will express my deep understanding of Fu Yun Shen, but this does not mean absolute (correct). The director has his ideas, and the screenwriter teachers also have his ideas. Everyone discusses their own ideas, and the roles are actually discussed together. In the early stage, we digest ourselves first, and after the digestion is finished, in the process of expression, we reinterpret the characters from the script and from the prescribed scenarios.

BW : Soon after "Dream of Chang'an" was finished, you came to film "South Wind Knows My Mood". How do you adjust the status when you quickly switch between costume play and modern play?
Cheng Yi : Actually, there is no secret. You still have to understand more, try to figure it out, and understand the script to the best of your ability. Then you will have more room to play on the scene.

BW : It’s very late to finish filming every day. How do you keep yourself in a tired situation and do your homework for tomorrow’s scenes?
CY : It feels okay. When doing what I like, the whole person's state will be excited and happy, and will not feel tired. When I call for a card or call for work every day, it feels unfinished.

02 "Take it seriously, there will definitely be gains"

BW : When "Love and Redemption" was broadcast, you were filming "Dream of Chang'an", so you didn't have time to follow the show?
CY : Yes, it was my parents who sent me a WeChat message and told me, "Son, I saw your drama, and your drama is finally on!" Then they posted a lot of pictures of the drama in the group every day.

BW : Similar to the group that "loves each other's family"?
CY : Yes, yes (laughs), and my aunt and uncle were also in the group. At that time, it was like chasing a drama group.

BW : When did you find that "Love and Redemption" is particularly popular?
CY : Probably more than ten days after the show was broadcast, a reporter teacher said in an interview that many people watched "Love and Redemption". Later, I kept receiving news from relatives and friends that watching the drama and found comments on Weibo has also increased, and I know that it is very hot.

BW : What was it like at that time?
CY : As more people see it, of course I am very happy to be an actor. The actors in filming still want to present good works to the audience, so I will also look at everyone's comments and see how everyone feels after the drama. This process is also a process of continuous improvement.

BW : After the popularity of "Love and Redemption", your 70 ways of vomiting blood have been hotly discussed. Are these different forms of expression you designed, or is it a random expression of true feelings?
CY : When reading the script, I will definitely do some homework and make some small designs according to the plot, but when shooting on the spot, it depends on the situation on the spot. Like the camera position, the way of performing will be different, such as vomiting blood. On the set, together with the director, photography teacher, and martial art teacher, we can collide with various performance methods.

BW : After so many years of filming, do you deliberately pay attention to different ways of expressing emotions?
CY : It's not to the extent that it is specially designed, but you will pay attention to it when you watch it. For example, before the filming of "Love and Redemption", I would watch some works of fairy tales. Now this is a modern drama, so I will watch more modern dramas. I feel that I am still in the growing stage, so I need to see more, refer to more, and learn more.

BW : How do you generally feel when watching a movie? Where will the focus be?
CY : It was a bit weird after all when I watched my own play. I thought, "It would be better to act like this at the time." I feel a bit regretful, but the actor actually knows that art is a regret.

BW: Are there any regrets in every drama?
CY : Yes, in fact, every play will have regrets when it is finished. I will think about how it would be better at that time, sort out the areas that need improvement, and digest them as soon as possible, so that we can do better when we perform the next role.

BW : What do you think is the most important thing behind your achievements today?
CY : I think there are a lot of them. They cannot be said in a few words. For example, I insist on a lot of things, the support and giving of my parents and people around me, and the many people who help me along the way are all important.

03 "Keep a good attitude"

BW : When did you first come up with the idea of ​​being an actor?
CY : I first accompanied my friends to participate in a show. A teacher said that I was quite suitable. I felt a seed was buried in my heart at that time, but the impression of this industry was still very vague at that time. When I was studying, in addition to learning theoretical knowledge, I would also have some practice. In the process, I gradually strengthened my dream and felt that I must be an actor and a good actor.

BW : How did you deal with the stage when you just entered the industry, no audience commented on you, and kept going to the show?
CY : I think this is a process of growth, which every actor should go through. When you are young, you need to be denied, so that you can know your shortcomings more quickly. You need to maintain a good attitude. Beginners have a lot of ignorance and vagueness. They have to try more and learn how to accept and pass opportunities. Many things do not rely on others to tell you what to do, so you need to firmly dream, absorb and digest, and play each role well.

BW : When you participated in "First Grade" in 2016, you had a conversation with Director Ang Lee. Do you have any impressions when you recall?
CY : Actually, at each stage of life, everyone wants to ask different questions. I was nervous before going to see Director Li Ang, but when I saw him myself, I felt he is very gentle and made people feel no sense of distance. I think this conversation is very lucky, because it was Director Ang Lee who made me remember the relationship between "relaxation" and "concentration", which is like practicing Tai Chi. Only by relaxing can focus. His words have a great influence on me.

BW : Being an actor, when filming, and to become famous, you need to wait. How do you think about waiting?
CY : Waiting should have a better way to think about it. Waiting may be hope but unknown. I don’t know what will happen. The most important thing is to be yourself and adjust your mentality, wait for opportunities, and wait for the future. In this process Don't give up on yourself.
More often on the set, I’m waiting. I don’t think there is pure waiting. Everyone is waiting, right? In the process, you can listen to a song, learn something, or read a book, all of which are waiting. "Waiting" can actually do a lot of things.

BW : Will you have any theme you want to act in particular next?
CY : Many. Basically I want to try the ones I haven't played before. Great heroes, villains, police, etc. are all fine. I think I have just started.

BW : Will you imagine what you should shoot before the age of 30, and what to shoot before the age of 35?
CY : No, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, and you don't know what will happen in the future, so you will look more at the present.

BW : Will there be occupational anxiety?
CY : Life will always encounter some difficulties. I think everyone will have anxiety. I think it is better to actively adjust their mentality. Gradually digest, anxiety can also be transformed into motivation.

BW : When you encounter some difficulties or some problems, are you used to adjusting yourself, or to talk to others and communicate with others?
CY : Basically, it’s about self-regulation. Difficulties sometimes seem like scaring yourself. For example, when you were young, you might think that this stool is very high, like a ladder. You definitely can’t step over, but now looking back, you just stepped over. It is just a stool.

04 Current Affairs

In the past few years, when he was not too busy, Cheng Yi could take advantage of his free time to sit by the river in Hengdian and pick up the fishing rod. In the quiet and long wait, he will welcome the big one that belongs to him, fish.

He doesn't think "waiting" is a very boring thing: "Waiting may be hope or unknown. In life, you have to keep waiting, waiting for tomorrow, and waiting for the day after tomorrow. I don't know what will happen, but adjust well. Mindset, don’t give up on yourself, you can wait for a better tomorrow."

In the long wait on filming site, he learned early how to use time, watching movies, reading books, learning something... He is used to arranging the waiting time fully. Even in a sense, he feels that there is no pure waiting-after all, in the so-called waiting process, you have to do something.

In him, a "beginner" mentality has been maintained. When he first entered the industry, he was out of the picture as he acted, which delayed the filming process. The theoretical knowledge learned in class needs to be "picked" again during the on-site shooting. The lens position, lighting, position, how to cooperate with the opponent, etc. are full of knowledge. Therefore, the studio is also another school and cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness.

In the process of ignorant learning, some opportunities were passed by, some roles were deemed inappropriate, some performances left regrets... As he digested these regrets, he gradually grew and developed a force that forced him to become a beginner. The mentality to keep trying. "These things may not be what anyone tells you, but how you can absorb and digest yourself, strengthen your own dreams, and play every role well." He said to "Blog World."

Now he is familiar with the working atmosphere of the studio, and after having experience, he will also put forward his own ideas to the director or screenwriter on how to make the character creation more natural and more in line with the plot logic. Of course, at the same time, he remained cautious: "My idea is not necessarily right. I need to absorb the ideas of the director and screenwriter teacher. We brainstorm together to make this role the best."

After the old problems were solved, new problems continued to emerge. When preparing to shoot "Love and Redemption", in order to get familiar with the specific style of Xian Xia drama, he also browsed some Xian Xia dramas, looking for different states, and let him enter the role in advance. When filming "The South Wind Knows My Mood", he "aligned" modern dramas with similar story structures. After all, there is a difference in the performance mode from costume dramas.

"Living to be old, learning to be old, every industry is like this." He said.

After each play, in addition to paying attention to the highlights in the play, he will also look for what is missing in the finished film. The hypothetical question of "how to do it better in the first place" will haunt him, and at this time he must be forced to relax and let go. "When you put your time and energy on the next role, you have to put yourself down before you can focus on your new job."

Saying goodbye to the past is also a process of moving forward, as he said in countless interviews: "Only live in the present and be yourself."

The professionalism of an actor comes from a large extent of his focus on work. Cheng Yi feels that he will forget many things when he puts himself into work. This is like a strategy of the brain.

Along the way, becoming more and more busy, which naturally means facing choices. Cheng Yi still has a lot of dramas he wants to act. "I haven't tried it all. Basically, I want to try it. Big heroes, big villains, and the police can do anything." He feels that his career is always beginning.

One of his favorite movies is "Brave Heart". In this epic of Scottish heroes, William Wallace played by Mel Gibson is not too tall or too strong. He could not get the top spot in the sling contest with his childhood friends, but he eventually defeated a wave. Another wave of powerful enemies, because he has the heart of a warrior. Until the end, the enemy took his life and couldn't succumb to his will.

Facing the difficulties in life, we must be brave and face it with long patience. This is growth. Cheng Yi made an analogy: "When you were young, you might think that this stool is very tall, like a ladder. You must not be able to step on it because you are young. But now you look back and look at it. It is (only) a stool."

At the interview site, Cheng Yi needed to climb up the zigzag iron staircase from the studio on the first floor to reach the lounge. In his 10 years of acting career, his experience is actually the same. After the ignorance when starting, the waiting and accumulation on the way, we will usher in a natural outbreak. Only when every step is solid, the road will become smoother and smoother. And the steps, leading to the infinite possibilities in the distance, also lead to his own solid heart.

03 Moat

After 10 years of acting as an actor, the media who came from Love and Redemption, often want to ask Cheng Yi a question: What are the difficult things that have been experienced on the road of being an actor?

But it is not easy to get some sad past stories from Cheng Yi today. Sometimes he will answer: "I won't talk about it? It's all okay, all okay." Sometimes he will say: "Actually, the actors are okay, and the other behind-the-scenes workers are more difficult."

Individual emotions are gradually dried out by time, refined into a universal understanding of life, and merged into the empathy of the characters. The director's experience of "don't be an actor for the rest of my life" that made him cry, eventually turned into a calm response in the interview, "When I was young, I always had to go through a lot of denials. Everyone is the same."

In many cases, the media's questions are just to let the audience understand the life of public figures through answers, but Cheng Yi seems too sincere. There are many kinds of "personal design" in the industry. In an interview with the media, he denied the "veteran cadre" person design. Regarding fitness anthology, he will also fall into a certain sense of unconfidence for fear of "mistaking people": "Many people ask me about fitness methods, but in fact, everyone's methods are different. Because my physique and my body are different. I know my situation very well. I use fitness methods that suit me, not necessarily for you or him."

After gaining attention with "Noble Aspiration" in 2016, he did not take advantage of the popularity to chase after victory, but to prepare himself for the role of precipitation. When filming "The Lost Tomb 2", he joined the group ahead of time, trained in play, and worked hard to complete the director's difficult action requirements. For the role of "little brother" Zhang Qiling, he became a lean body, showing excellent flexibility.

He stayed in Hengdian for more than a year until the eve of the airing of "Love and Redemption", and many other dramas such as "Imperial Age", "The Promise of Chang'an", and "Deep Dive" will be broadcast. "Filming and sleeping", he described his life during that time. During the airing period of "The Lost Tomb 2", Cheng Yi took a day's time to record various publicity interviews (later fans discovered this with the same costume), and then returned to the closed life of the crew in.

Some people will say that they missed Cheng Yi, who was just a few years ago. At that time, he was still very young, and it was easy to be caught in a sensitive and confused state. The polishing of time gradually revealed his calm and introverted side, showing calmness and calmness, and coping freely in his own circumstances or the disturbances in the outside world.

Rather than taking the initiative to show, he is more willing to let the outside world know himself from each role. From Lin Jingyu in Noble Aspiration, to Yu Sifeng in Love and Redemption, to Xiao Chengxu in The Promise of Chang'an, the huge span of characters constantly refreshes the audience's impression of him. He knows that every character has its own part, "because in filming, in the final analysis, it is human nature." This is the result of accumulating life grind and performance experience.

Suddenly exposed to the turbulent love, Cheng Yi responded to every support and concern of fans with his strength, hard work and works.

The work is a moat of actors. After 10 years of acting as an actor, Cheng Yi has faded away from confusion and anxiety, focusing clearly on the work at hand, grasping what can be done, and not worrying about the unknown.

02 One Way

Embarking on the road of an actor is an accident of misplay.

Cheng Yi’s childhood was a golden age for Hong Kong films and martial arts dramas. In his childhood dreams, there are the swords and swords of Jin Yong's martial arts scenes, and the heroic sentiments of Hong Kong hero movies. Many years later, he still remembers the classic moment of Andy Lau wearing a denim jacket in "If there is Love" from the motorcycle.

His parents didn't have too much pressure on his growth, but he looked at the life of his peers day after day, and suddenly felt "seeing the 70-year-old days." At night, he tossed and turned, and suddenly made up his mind to go to Beijing.

He still doesn't know where this road leads, but the kind of unknownness also fits the minds of young people. At this time, he happened to find a new direction-when he accompanied his friend to a show, a teacher said to him, "You are quite suitable to be an actor". Recalling, he felt that it was a seed of a dream, which was sown in unknown soil and began to grow freely.

The layman sees the excitement, the expert sees the doorway. It wasn't until he officially started to learn acting that he gradually established his cognition of the actor's profession. While in school, Cheng Yi learned to watch movies from a new angle, "seeing the schedule, the structure of the drama, the scene, and the performance" after listening to the teacher giving them a classic film appreciation class. And when he turned in his film review homework and the whole class communicated with each other, he would feel that his personal understanding was really "small."

He began to develop the habit of "brushing" films daily, increasing his reading volume. He will use his makeup time to watch classic movies on his mobile phone. So in "Keep Running" show, when Sha Yi made a gesture of Marlon Brando stroking a cat, he almost reacted in the first second: "The Godfather!"

Once he went for an interview, the director told him, "Don't be an actor in your life, you definitely can't." When he talked about this, he cried bitterly on the "First Grade" program. The program guest, Anita Yuen asked him directly: "Your concerns, your fears, what are your fears?" He couldn't say clearly. That was his most confused period, he was constantly denied, and he wanted to prove himself, but he couldn't find the confidence and direction. It was also during that time that when Cheng Yi mentioned the childhood idol Andy Lau in a video program, what Cheng Yi remembered most clearly was the sentence he said: "I am not the most talented, but I can be the hardest." Change another perspective, he, who was not affirmed by the outside world at the time, might be thinking that if he gave up on himself, others would definitely give up on you.

Even if you can't see the future, you can stare/focus at the present and try to do your best for the thing at hand.

Fortunately, at the time, with the opportunity on the "First Grade" program group, Cheng Yi met the director Ang Lee who promoted "Billy Lynn's Intermission". Recalling this moment, the director Ang Lee in his impression was "very gentle, and there is no sense of distance."

The communication with Director Ang Lee was an event of enlightenment, so many years later, Cheng Yi was able to recite what Ang Lee said to him. It was acting as a director, and even to his acting, guiding the way.

The haze of rejection during the audition was swept away, and the road gradually became clear—there is only one way in the world, and that is the one under his feet.

Cheng Yi Blog World interview article

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/h64AlWzT_VdgFEUWgS-khg

It is pretty long article, it will divide in several parts. I love reading his interviews, he has a beautiful mind ;D

Cheng Yi : Step Up

The work is a moat of actors. After 10 years of acting as an actor, Cheng Yi has faded away from confusion and anxiety, focusing clearly on the work at hand, grasping what can be done, and not worrying about the unknown. Regardless of his own circumstances or the disturbances in the outside world, he showed calmness and calmness, and he was able to deal with it freely.

01 Hit worker

Under a large-aperture lens, the lights appear more enthusiastic, but the probabilistic imaginary focus of the photo cannot be avoided. Cheng Yi turned around briskly in front of the camera and kept repeating the action, allowing the photographer to capture the moment again and again. "Is it okay for the teacher?" Hearing the misfortune that he was out of focus, he immediately adjusted his position and started again, always keeping a focused look on his face.

This performance surprised the photographer a little. Because on the day of shooting, Cheng Yi only finished work until late at night in the crew of "South Wind Knows My Mood". After a short break, he arrived at the studio. The photographer was prepared to deal with the exhaustion and mechanical action of the artist, but after Cheng Yi had arrived, he quickly dispelled his concerns.

In fact, Cheng Yi has been in various crews in Hengdian in the past few years. In August 2020, when "Live and Redemption" became popular on the Internet after its airing, he was filming the new drama "Dream of Chang'an"; and shortly after "Dream of Chang'an" was finished in October, he rushed to "South Wind Knows My Mood" crew.

During this short interval, Cheng Yi tried his best to thoroughly understand the script and the original work, and first portrayed the character of Fu Yunshen in his mind, from the conceptual "knowing the world without the world" to the emotion. The understanding of the relationship between brothers and grievances was then refined into the design of movements and eyes to form an overall shaping strategy; and then at the script reading meeting, he exchanged and collided with directors, screenwriters, photography, lighting and other main creative personnel for further improvement.

Each chief creator has his own cognition in his mind, and these brainstorming meetings can generate enough sparks to effectively outline a clear and unified character image. As an actor, he often spreads out the script at this time and discusses his understanding and thoughts of the plot with everyone. "After the actor has absorbed himself, he can discuss this with the director and screenwriter."
Therefore, in the face of interviews after the play was broadcast, Cheng Yi never attributed the success of the role and the work to himself, because he felt that a work condensed in the efforts and efforts of all the staff, just like he said, "The works are the art of the group".

Filming is like fighting a battle. Everyone works step by step and cooperates with each other to get more and more courageous. Therefore, no matter how late it is to finish work, Cheng Yi will be ready for the next day's scene, because he knows that every step of the filming is interlocking, and preparation is the prerequisite. He told "Blog World" that in fact, on the set, not only these actors are nervous, but every other post/crew is like this.

The preparation for the work in the early stage is an addition, but the scene shooting is subtraction. When "Love and Redemption" was broadcast, his "Tears Collection" and "Spitting Blood Collection" sparked heated discussions on the Internet. In these collections, his performance has not been the same. When asked whether these were intentional designs, he said that when he first read the script, he would have some ideas. When he arrived on the set, he communicated with directors, photographers, martial arts, etc., and collided with new ideas. But at the moment of filming, all these designs must be performed on the spot based on the actual situation. Coupled with the sparks of collaboration with the opponent actors, the natural response, that is, "really listen, really see, really feel".

Cheng Yi's mantra is "adults"-whenever he asks about occupation and focus, he will use this sentence as a summary. Rather than talking about his love and dreams of performance, he is more like a dedicated craftsman, "I think it may be more of a sense of responsibility to take on every role, and you have to be responsible to do it well."

Essentially speaking, acting as an actor is the same as an office worker's work, which is the completion of the work. In an interview with Tencent, Cheng Yi described the daily life of the crew: "Be happy, go happily, go home and sleep happily, and come back tomorrow. If you have time, everyone will have a meal together. Aren't they all the same? This is our state of work, and I think everyone is the same."

Due to being closed to the crew and filming, even after the launch of "Love and Redemption", Cheng Yi had an afterthought. When the family group quickly evolved into a drama-chasing group in 2020, when relatives such as parents, aunts, uncles, etc. kept discussing enthusiastically in the group, Cheng Yi still did not feel that he received much attention, "Anyway, no matter what my drama, they all think it’s a hit."

It took more than 10 days to truly start to realize the reaction of the outside world. A reporter came to the crew for an interview and said to Cheng Yi that "a lot of people watched this show." He thought it was a polite remark from others, but he didn't quite believe it: "Is it? It's only been aired for a few days?" Family group discussions, media reporters, and the sudden increase in comments under Weibo, the splashes of "Love and Redemption" began to spread out in circles.

Cheng Yi, who was filming "Dream Awakening Chang'an" at the time, received this signal with a delay. He feels that more people have seen his work, and occasionally read the comments of the audience. In addition, he still repeats his work life in Hengdian for several years, like leaving early and returning late.

I don't really follow Yang Zi, but you said it yourself, she had other dramas outside HR production, that means she has more freedom to choose. From the statement released by HR, they already offered her the script before but she refused because of conflict in her schedule. That mean she can refuse, she has a freedom to refuse. Jing Tian has prepared a lot for her role in Agarwood, knowing she will be paired with Cheng Yi and she also has been reading her script and even photo for her make up and hairstyle for her role. What is going on behind close door, only people involved knows. Youku already bought airing right for South Wind Knows My Mood and Agarwood even before the drama completed. Even for Agarwood, they already bought the airing right when the drama only has Cheng Yi as the male main lead (on January 2021). So that speaks volume for his ability. He already has his own good foundation. He is a dedicated actor, everytime people asked him what his recent activities (Tide & Safeguard live event), he always said, he will went back to Hengdian (the location for Agarwood filming). So these day, he still busy preparing for Agarwood. So i am really excited when he finally able to start filming, because he is happy when he is on filming site. I am happy because he is happy. Other noises don't really matter ♡♡

Kekekkee... when he watch his drama, he doesn't see the barrage (the comments) because it would distract his viewing LOL But his friends and staffs remind him to see it, because the comments are so interesting. So he tried to watch it, but when it get too much words, he would become dazzled/dizzy, so he would turn it off LOL Hahaha Cheng Yi, whenever there are your videos or dramas, there will be a lot of comments flying around. The trick is don't watch it on the 1st viewing, but after the 2nd viewing, so your focus is not on the video anymore, but more to see the comments. Although,, i actually prefer the video to be clean so i could watch you more clearly because i was afraid to miss anything ;D

Cheng Yi is the unchanging male lead from the start to the end. The investor (Youku) believed in his ability by buying the right for his 2 new unfinished dramas, South Wind Know My Mood and Agarwood (and maybe more). So that said a lot about his ability isn't it? People seem to forget this fact.

Well for 20 days, he is (roll eyes)

Ex 2nd FL

Nirvana in Fire? Haha, well not exactly directly get the throne, but he sure got his revenge :D And "sweet" too hehehe..

After bidding farewell to these once-played roles one by one, he finished, removed his makeup, returned home, and closed the bedroom door. As the absolute protagonist in his life, he sometimes tries to sum up himself in a few words like summarizing the role. The conclusion is-"difficult to generalize", that is a life simpler than any character, and a life much more complicated than any character.
Waiting to be unravel on April 12th at 12.00 ;D

He said the memorable moments when filming South Wind drama, that they like to share snacks & foods. When the other co stars brings instant noodles, they share the warmth together. Fufufu,,, Cheng Yi, did you still have that craved for instant noodles? Still remember that noodles you didn't get to taste because of your diet? LOL

One the crew of Faith Makes Great drama, share the impression of Cheng Yi ;D
https://m.weibo.cn/status/4621321083818361

When Love and Redemption fire broke out last year, I didn't watch it, but I knew the actor Cheng Yi. This year, because of Faith Makes Great drama, I joined Cheng Yi's group. I have really met a super nice artist. The accommodation is definitely not as good as other projects. All the open-air location are still 2/3 of the night. There is no RV car. There is a small shed on the scene location. It is the only place where many actors can rest together. Cheng Yi came to the scene every day and happily. He became a little bit silly when he become familiar/get close. He would also bring snacks for everyone to eat. When the weather was cold, he took the initiative to pull the staff outside the booth to rest in the actors' studio. This episode of Our Positions was filmed for five days, and it was very bitter for five days. There was a sudden drop in snow and temperature. War scenes. Every day there was gunfire, running and climbing in the ground. It was really "eating dirt" every day. After shooting this time, Cheng Yi would still say, "I'm having fun after shooting!" It was very similar to the second grade male classmates around us when we were in school. In fact, Cheng Yi was a bit late to become famous, so seeing his character, I was very emotional, maybe it is because of the general experience of growing up in the industry, starting from a small production, a small role, shooting good films and bad films, so even after the fire/big success, he still maintains a consistent working state and a sense of humility.
Perhaps "traffic is the original sin theory" in this online world is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only after getting to know him, did I realize that Cheng Yi is really a professional and dedicated actor.
(The screenshot is when I was at work, I couldn't help but want to praise Cheng Yi's fans WeChat site, I was very impressed and sent it haha). It said "He doesn't complain much. Let him play whatever he want LOL"
"Mmh good, this time, i also felt the approachable, amiable, and dedicated spirit of Cheng Yi laoshi."

I hope Cheng Yi can become more and more successful! And recognize by more and more people and love by more and more people! And by the time his contract expire, all the other agencies out there will be trying to win him with much better offer!
I believe we will see that wish happen! I believe in his ability! Success is the best revenge!

Isn't Cheng Yi is the one who really save the drama? They literally made him the sacrificial lamb T__T
I don't really care much about the FL controversy. They shouldn't treat him this way,, T__T

Hiks me toooo!!! Too bad Cheng Yi only join HR in 2018, so if his contract is 5 years, that means he only gonna be free in 2023 ?
At the very least, they should allocate more professional teams to him. But alas, that Liu person is still around ?

Me too!! Or Tang Zhou, either way, i am happy!

It is really sad and sad to see this. I guess we couldn't really count on other people to protect him (even if it is his own agency - roll eyes). We should only count on ourselves, as Cheng Yi's fans. We believe in him, we believe in his good personality and his ability. We are looking forward for all his works ;D May we get better and better together ;D The sun always shines after the storm ;D Cheng Yi fighting!! ♡♡♡
