THEO： Looking forward to the challenge of ＂Depth Charge 2＂ with strength.
Special feature of 1905 film network From the Spring Festival to the National Day,TheoI finally waited for my first big screen work.The release. Although he didn’t get involved in it more deeply as a special star, the film still means a lot to him.
It was Wang Baoqiang who won this rare opportunity for THEO. The two became attached to each other through a variety show. At that time, THEO was controversial because of his idol status, and Wang Baoqiang not only shaved him directly in the program, but also took him to complete a series of challenges such as survival in the wilderness.
It was also this experience that made Wang Baoqiang remember this "unexpected and hard-working" younger brother. Then, after learning that the new film directed by Tang Jili was looking for a new actor, he recommended THEO to the other party. After trying the play, the role was settled.
For "making a movie with Jackie Chan", my father, who is a movie fan, is more excited than THEO. "It’s a dream for my father". The day before joining the group, he was very upset and recited a few words of his own many times: "As a result, the director at the scene said, don’t care too much about the lines, just follow your feelings, and finally I basically changed all the words."
THEO, who majored in dancing, was recognized by the director at the first interview. However, due to the limitations of roles and scenes, he didn’t have many opportunities to show his skills through acting, which made him feel a little sorry. Therefore, when Tang Jili, who had already written the story of Depth Charge 2, sent out an invitation again, THEO readily responded to the director’s "arrangement".
Many people are prejudiced against idol-transformed actors, but THEO feels that he has always been a hard-working person. "I have never felt that idols and actors (to be distinguished) are all engaged in a career together on the road of performing arts and doing what they like."
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, and "breaking the circle" is particularly difficult for idols — — Being in the "rice circle", they are surrounded by countless praises and even "unconditional" love; Once faced with "passers-by", it is difficult to get rid of the negative impression in evaluation. THEO said half-jokingly, compared with the criticism that an actor has to face, "As an idol, I should have suffered more scolding. I always told myself not to care too much about it. It should be quite tiring to live according to other people’s ideas."
Although he doesn’t want to be imprisoned by a certain identity, whether he is a singing idol or a young actor, THEO firmly believes that he can prove his only strength. From an unknown trainee to today, he has a goal that has never changed: "I hope I can always do my best." In this line, you just have to do better and be known by more people, so that you can get more and more platforms and opportunities and get better and better. "
[Interview Record]
Up！ New power: what scene did you shoot on the first day? What did the director say about you after filming?
THEO: The first day was with Brother Allen and Sister Mia. The director will also ask me to take a look at it after filming a paragraph, tell me where I need to make minor adjustments, and ask me what I think. I’ll tell him that maybe I feel a little uncomfortable here, so we’ll adjust it again. In fact, the director also said not to care too much about the words memorized the day before, just follow your feelings.
Up！ New power: We know that Jackie Chan has been very strict with "small fresh meat". How do you feel this time?
THEO: Actually, he is not strict. He has always been very kind to me. Anyway, he is very nice, including telling me at dinner, "You are too thin, you need to eat more." Later, he gave me zongzi.
Up！ New power: Many people think that it is not particularly easy for idols to transform into actors. What do you think of this?
THEO: I feel fine. In fact, I have never felt what idols should be and what actors should be. I think we are all engaged in a career together on the road of performing arts and doing what we like.
As for hard work and tiredness. Actors may work and work continuously every day for a period of time. If we (idol groups) work continuously for a week or a month, we may take a day or two off in the middle. Actors eat and rest regularly, so we can’t help it.
Up！ New power: Your fans have always been very concerned about your works. How do you digest and understand this "unconditional" love?
THEO: I always feel that no one can always support you unconditionally except friends and family, but many of my fans and I are strangers and have never even met each other. We just met on the screen, and they can always support me unconditionally, which is very touching. I said at the concert that fans are like family to me.
Up！ New strength: I am the captain in the team, but this time I am the youngest in the crew. Will my mood change?
THEO: Yes, suddenly I feel loved and happy. (Laughter)
Up！ New strength: It should be quite stressful at ordinary times?
THEO: Actually, we are all older children, and we can take care of ourselves. Maybe sometimes, as a slightly older (captain), they didn’t notice, so I’ll just talk about it a little. But I usually just stop. I think everyone has his own direction to develop. I can’t control him or make him like me. So I will only tell him the disadvantages and then let them choose for themselves. Now, everyone is a mature artist, everyone has their own ideas, and they all know how to go in the future.
Up！ New strength: Will your future work focus be biased after starting to make movies?
THEO: Actually, what I want is to work together. Actually, when I first entered this industry, I wanted to go to the actor’s side. Later, I came into contact with music and fell in love with it. But now it’s like fulfilling my original dream.
Up！ New strength: After becoming an actor, the audience evaluation may be more acute. Are you ready?
THEO: I think as you said just now, as an idol, I think I should have suffered more scolding. So I think (sharp criticism) should be fine. I have never cared much about these things. It is most important to be yourself. If you care about other people’s ideas and live every day, I think it should be quite tiring.
Up！ New power: Do you think it is more difficult for idols to "break the circle"?
THEO: Difficult. But maybe because everyone has defined idols and actors clearly, I have always felt that I am an artist, so I never thought about breaking the circle. For me, it’s just two different jobs. It doesn’t mean I can’t do this job. One job is finished, and the other job is not bad, so I’ll try. Just like everyone usually says, "I may not want to do this job, I’ll change my job."
Up！ New strength: from debut to now, which experience is unforgettable?
THEO: The most unforgettable thing is actually my debut. I will never forget that day, and I will never forget the day when NINEPERCENT was dissolved. At the moment of debut, I felt that I had worked hard for so many years, which was very, very worthwhile. At that moment, I learned the same thing, that is, a person can’t accomplish everything, and there must be many people behind you to help you. Only by working together can you make your achievements today.
The day NPC was dissolved … … It’s just unforgettable Just entering that environment, in fact, all nine of us think we can do better, which is also a question we have talked about privately many times, that is, we think that several of us could have done better.
Up！ New strength: What is your goal to enter this industry? Has this goal changed?
THEO: It hasn’t changed. At first, I just liked to do it, but later I found out that you have to do better and be known by more people in this industry, so that you can get more and more platforms and opportunities.
