Zhu Xiao Tian is
presently entering the most enjoyable part of filming.
There isn’t a Zheng Shao Qiu basic feeling but a
ZXT style.
Southern Television and GuangDong Qiang Shi TV
are co-producing a big ancient drama “Chu Liu Xiang” they are currently
in Xin Jiang Shan Shan. As for ZXT playing the part of CLX, Chu Liu
Xiang fans controversies have never stopped. Questions range from
whether or not ZXT is too fat for the role, or his acting isn’t that
mature yet, whether the explanatory notes have a loose appearance etc.
all are external worries. Before this reporter went on a special trip to
visit the drama, ZXT and producer You Jian Ming already accepted to be
interviewed.
Central Issue # 1:
Q: Is ZXT qualified for this new edition CLX?
P: ZXT is entering his most enjoyable stage.
General Appearance of the Actor:
Q: When we got there it was the same day they
were shooting “The Desert” they also sent off “Zhong Yuan Yi Dian Hong
and Song Tian Er.” It has almost been a month now and because of the
intense rays of the sun in Xin Jiang, ZXT is no longer in an idol drama
“Meteor Garden” no longer does he look like the “white faced pampered
son,” Xi Men, his skin has already been darkened by the sun, dressed in
a checked long gown, iron hoop hairdo, his hand holding a fan that can
also be used as a weapon, quite like a hero appearance. Although from
his appearance you won’t see the basic grace of the Zheng Shao Qiu
edition but you will find another style, you will get a “younger”
feeling, and no way will you feel that he is fat!
Acting:
Q: When the reporters were on the scene, ZXT
didn’t NG, nor did he forget his lines, or laughed offensively at
anyone. With the director just giving him some pointers, he was able to
completely grasp what was required. Although this is the first time he
would be filming an ancient drama, the director and producers are very
satisfied. Producer You Jian Ming revealed, “Actually, when we first
began, ZXT really made people worry, that was why the production
requested for a teacher who would teach him how to express with his
eyes, and do body motions, ten days later we had no more worries. Right
now he is in his “best moment” phase.” When ZXT is not filming he will
continue to receive training from his teacher. The director praised all
his acrobatic and wu xi stunts.
Producer’s Praise:
At first we were considering Yan Cheng Xu and
Huang Xiao Ming; although Huang Xiao Ming can portray that distinguished
look his acting isn’t that natural he really isn’t what we had in mind,
if we let Yan Cheng Xu play the role, this Chu Liu Xiang won’t be
interesting. ZXT inherent qualities make him a very interesting and fun
person, extremely intelligent and he is a quick study, right now he
already has the feel of CLX.
Central Issue # 2:
Q: Did ZXT cause the director to quit?
P: Cooperation not so smooth.
At the press conference in
Shanghai last June,
we learned from Ju Jue Liang that there would be three parts for this
drama “Chu Liu Xiang,” “Wu Hua.” “Duan Bei,” but this reporter learned
that “Duan Bei” is cancelled because the director had quit.
K: At first there was really an idea of having
these three parts but there wasn’t anything concrete that was written
there was only a plot. Because the director feels that men can also have
sentimental feelings and that would be the only time he can be capable
of handle the feelings and understand the opposite party. CLX hasn’t
reached one month of filming but the director quit already he didn’t
leave anything definite with regards to the plot.
Regarding the reason of Ju Jue Ming’s quitting,
earlier on it was said the ZXT was the reason. A few days ago ZXT
accepted an interview to explain the matter, “After thinking about it, I
don’t have a big influence on changing a director, and this incident has
turned to be a confusing matter. Today is the first time I have been
interviewed since I started filming; previously I will simply not answer
any of the media’s word. Regarding the directors departure, we are only
actors and are only notified on this matter.
But the producer explained: “At the beginning
ZXT and the director’s cooperation wasn’t that smooth, and the director
was inconsistent with the ideas of everyone, so after much consideration
we decided to replace him.
Central Issue # 3:
Q: Have denied washing the underwear of Chen Hao
Min.
K: Although personal friendships are good but not to the extent of
washing another’s underwear.
Chu Liu Xiang’s good brother is Hu Tie Hua.
Although Gu Long fans know that CLX and HTH have a lot of affection for
each other, there were some news that came out that ZXT washed the
underwear of CHM making the readers shocked.
In response to this, ZXT didn’t immediately
answer, but he was being asked by the reporters’ non-stop. “How come
there are so many rumors in this drama? I have never experienced a drama
like this. When my father passed away, my mood fell and I was not
capable of filming. But the truth of the matter is, when I heard the
news I only rested for two days and then I continued working. Its but
natural that Chen Hao Min and I would have a good relationship, because
I have no experience in an ancient drama, he has taught me a lot of
things. But not up to the extent as this disgusting rumor.”
K: XiangShuai is weak with women.
The years have swiftly gone by, ZXT has been in
the business for 7 years already. These 7 years F4 has been famous, from
an unknown he became famous, famous in the shops and kitchens of
Japan, he became so
famous because he is one of Asia’s most beautiful males, but after their
solo flight, suddenly fan adulation has slowly been decreasing. He has
experienced that rise and fall in the entertainment circle.
He isn’t clear why people think he is fat.
Q: When you got the role of CLX what was your
condition?
K: Because I have no experience in an ancient
drama, I didn’t know the basic principles in acting. I still remember
the time when we started filming, although I was wearing an ancient
costume, my way of talking, manner of speaking I felt that it was like I
was still wearing western style of clothes, it was really awkward,
fortunately the production team invited a teacher for me, he taught me
the essentials on how to act in an opera, right now I know how to act in
an ancient drama, how to move my body, at least I can do the movement of
cupping my hands while the other one is across my chest like the way you
greet someone happy new year.
You made everyone anxious that they will have a
fat CLX, but looking at you now it seems you are not fat at all, could
it be that for this drama you really tried to lose weight?
K: I haven’t reduced any fat ah. My body weight
has been constant all these years. I really can’t understand why some
people can say that I am fat, on one had people here say I have
succeeded in losing weight. I really don’t think I have changed that
much.
Previously, the manner in which he treated a
woman was so disappointing.
How do you think should CLX act?
K: I think he is the Chinese version of Sherlock
Holmes, he is really meddlesome, when you run into him you just don’t
want to care about him. But in these modern times you could say that, he
would always wants to obey the law and punish people who don’t follow,
no woman can refuse him but not everyone can comply with him.
How will you portray the role of CLX?
K: Because Zheng Shao Qiu’s performance was
impressed on everyone’s minds, we will continue to do some of the
trademark moves of CLX, for instance the touching of the nose, but my
style will be different from ZSQ. He is better looking, my version will
be like a massage, because the original is something like a rhinitis. My
movement will be the same as Chen Hao Min, because Hu Tie Hua is used to
copying CLX, so our feel will be the same, in edition to this our
edition will be more faithful to the women, but not so much because I
think the CLX deals with women is also a bit weak.
Then can you act like CLX?
K: Actually before
Meteor Garden, the
way I treat woman was no good. I am not considerate to women, but after
the filming I have learned to be a gentleman and to be more considerate
to women.
In the drama CLX you have many relationships,
who do you like?
K: It’s best for you to watch out the part with
Xiao Qiang, she is really pretty, and very lovable, aside from that the
character of Song Tian Er, Liu Jia’s opponent. I often feel that my
mental age is 40, but when I look her I feel the invincibility of youth,
it seems at that time I became like a kid.
I am beggining to like wu shu more.
Are you beginning to like wu shu more?
K: My father is a Gu Long fan, when I was
officially announced to be the new CLX, I had my costume fitting at
Beijing and I showed
my father the picture, that time his condition has not worsened. He
really liked how I looked, that is why I am going to be very serious in
making good in this role. That’s the least I can do for my father.
I am beginning to like wu shu arts more and
more, although the production group arranged a double for me, but if I
can do what is required of me I will do it to the best of my ability. Up
to the present, filming acrobatic Chinese scenes Fortunately, I haven’t
received any injuries. I have Wu Xing with me I always drag him to study
gong fu.
Aside from wu shu what else do you like?
K: Ride the horse, in the past I used to ride
the motorbike, but after learning how to ride the horse I have no
interest in bikes. It’s because the horse is a living thing. I have also
asked the drama team to buy a horse for me, but right now I have not
decided where to raise this horse.

Sun Fei Fei Plays Li
Hong Siu Braves Intense Summer Heat Going to Xinjiang to Shoot Chu Liu
Xiang
"Bi Shue Jian" has just finished shooting,
yesterday without stopping, Sun Fei Fei, went to Xinjiang to begin
shooting for the new drama <<Chu Liu Xiang>>. In the show, the fifth
generation of the role "Chu Liu Xiang" will be taken on by F4 member Zhu
Xiao Tian, Sun Fei Fei will play Chu Liu Xiang's bosom friend, Li Hong
Siu.
Before this, it was undecided who would play the
role of Li Hong Siu which is one of the important female roles in the
drama. After repeated selection, the role falls upon pure innocent image
Sun Fei Fei. The difference from the old version <<Chu Liu Xiang>> is
the role of "Li Hong Siu" played by Sun Fei Fei, "Shui Mu Yin Ji" played
by Xiao Qiang and "Su Rong Rong" played by Hu Jing will be given even
distribution of importance, creating three female leading actresses.
The part which creates the most anticipation in
the play is Chu Liu Xiang and Li Hong Siu "Brokeback" romance (due to
the Ang Lee's Oscar-winning adaptation of Brokeback Mountain, most refer
to anything slightly linked to homosexuality as "Brokeback"). Sun Fei
Fei dressed in man's attire would be alone in a room with Chu Liu Xiang,
acting
out a romantic
romance. According to what Sun Fei Fei herself reveals, she also has
much anticipation for this drama, finding it interesting even just
thinking about it.
Upon mentioning dressing in man's attire for the
first time, Sun Fei Fei smiling states, "looking at herself she doesn`t
find herself looking like a boy". However this pretty "boy" causes
Casanova Chu Liu Xiang to fall for "him". Having tried kungfu scenes for
the first time in "Bi Shue Jian" she would show her skills again in <<Chu
Liu Xiang>>. The scene whereby she, Xiao Qiang and Hu Jing the three
beautiful women fights is also worth anticipating.
It is reported, at present, Sun Fei Fei already
arrives in Xinjiang Turpan and begun shooting for the new drama.
Being in the season of intense summer heat,
Xinjiang is like "the big stove", with the combination of complicated
ancient costume, many internet fans reflected their concern for Sun Fei
Fei fearing that she may not be able to take it. She in turn actually
advice everybody not to worry, although fearing sun exposure, but being
an actor there is no choice, all must be overcome.
