excerpts for this interview about wang yibo and his character wei ruolai: Exclusive interview｜"Storm Chaser" director Yao Xiaofeng: Creating a period drama with a grainy and historical feel

The TV series "War of Faith" is on the air. This legendary story that cuts into the history of the Republic of China from a financial perspective has aroused the curiosity and follow-up of many viewers. It’s production level can also be regarded as the best work of 2024.

Director Yao Xiaofeng admits that he has always been interested in the history of the Republic of China. "This history is actually very heart-wrenching. During this history, the ups and downs of the country's destiny, what kind of experiences did the people who participated in it and those who followed the trend have? I find it particularly interesting.”

In addition to the visual presentation, the performances of many actors are also quite exciting. Yao Xiaofeng said confidently: "The actor in this drama will definitely be able to give one of the best performances in his career." He is a director who is very good at communicating with actors and bringing out their charm. Starring Wang Yibo is also in " Contributed a commendable performance in "War of Faith".

The first time he collaborated with Wang Yibo, Yao Xiaofeng recognized this "kid" very much. "I spent a lot of thought on Wang Yibo this time, and he was very involved and fully committed himself to me during the process. He also believed in me." He said, "There are no distracting thoughts in our cooperation. .”

The Paper: In the first episode, the male protagonist is dragged into the stock market by the landlady. On one side is the heroine's gunfire and on the other side is the male protagonist's stock market turmoil. This contrast is quite interesting.

Yao Xiaofeng: The male protagonist is an ordinary person. When an ordinary person is involved in chaos and bloodshed, he goes from being at a loss to being calm and making a choice. I think this is very interesting. An ordinary person's true reaction when faced with a world he cannot control may be the highlight of this drama. So for the first few scenes, I first created the atmosphere of his life and let the audience accept what kind of person he is. Talking about the relationship between an ordinary little person and the big era and the big world is my specialty.

The Paper: In previous interviews, I saw you expressing your appreciation for Wang Yibo. I would like to hear you talk about the cooperation process, including some observations of this young actor?

Yao Xiaofeng: When we met, I could feel Wang Yibo's sincerity, and I said I wanted to convey this sincerity to the audience. No matter what kind of scene you face, you don’t have to act, you just need to tell me your truest feelings on camera. The good thing about this kid is that he easily believed the scenarios I gave him.

I think this child is very good. He understands it very well. When he comes to the set, he is filming. He regards himself as an actor and leaves it completely to a director. As a director, I explained my ideas to him and let him develop them. I often say that actors and directors should trust and respect each other. From the moment we met, we only talked about the two creators’ understanding of the characters and the drama, so there were no distracting thoughts about our cooperation.

The actor in this drama will definitely give one of the best performances in his career. As a director, what I have to do is to amplify the charm of the actor and help him complete the role. I spent a lot of thought on Wang Yibo this time, and he was very involved, and he also trusted me in the process.

The Paper: How to build this trust?

Yao Xiaofeng: It’s equality. I don’t “pretend” to be a director, and he doesn’t “play” a star. We are just ordinary people. And then he was the younger guy and I was older than him and he certainly had a lot of respect for me. But at the beginning, when the two of us were not that familiar, I talked more about the script with him, without any pretensions to being a director, and communicated with him in a normal manner. After slowly breaking through the barriers between people little by little, the rest will not be a problem.

His smile was so lively that once I made him laugh. After laughing, I said you have such a cute smile, and we were both very happy. Later, he often smiled, and I think he probably smiled the most in my drama.

The Paper: The pavilion where the male protagonist lives on Qibao Street is also particularly rich in details.

Yao Xiaofeng: When Wei Ruo came to the room, I said it was not shabby enough. It was also a loft at the beginning. When the view of the loft was ready, I said as soon as I entered, you have no experience in living in a pavilion. It is too high, too big, and the room is not dilapidated enough. But the photography team is also worried that your space is too big. It’s hard to get small photography equipment in, so it’s not easy to take pictures. But when it comes to photography, I want it to be small and have enough space for people to hit their heads.

If the space is right, we will discuss every detail of the character's life, including what kind of lights to use at home, where to eat, and where to cook. The staff in the clothing team are relatively young now and have no idea about the "ragged" clothes of that era, so I asked them to make them as old and torn as possible.

When everything was ready, Wang Yibo put on a torn cotton-padded jacket, entered the pavilion where he would hit his head, and bent down. The small quilt on the bed could only cover his head but not his tail, so he could only shrink up. We filmed it in winter, and his most authentic reaction was aroused. By truly feeling in this real atmosphere and environment, you can bring the characters to life.

let’s start the new year with some good old cpn!

so glad that yibo’s stages all went well! as expected from a performer like him. i was kinda nervous that a bad hot search will come out but it was all good. from people being touched with his/dls song, wanghan crying, his clothes, the bystander stage, his high ratings and him seeing the green sea. i’m sorry to the other celebrities who got smeared in the hs but that’s just how it is, better luck next year.

now onto the clownery, if you clown today, it means you will continue to do so for the rest of the new year.. so proceed with caution 😂😂😂😂

starting with the most obvious one are the photos from yibo-official and the effect it gave — it was so little prince. something they both have connection with and a favorite among turtles. international or not, it’s already there and we are not the only ones who noticed the reference.

also the similarity to xz’s weibo night ( their wedding day outfits lol ) effect and little prince look. 👀

another “similarity” is this right here. i like how wyb is in black and xz in white because in cql wyb was the one in white for lwj and xz in black. and the drumming!!! 🥁

during the countdown, WYB was doing the chongya pose. similar to XZ. awwww. i love that this has really become their thing now, tho it really originated more with XZ. even if they didn’t spend it together, they still do it. they have the same hopes and attitude for the new year!

in the subject of the countdown, some are commenting on this incident where wyb didn’t hug the girl/s who were moving closer to him. lol. he is married! what are you all doing? 😂😂😂 kidding aside, i think that a part of it is he is not familiar with them. the girl’s skin was also exposed so maybe he didn’t wanna touch inappropriately. and well, he is wang yibo. people will slice and dice all his public interactions so he is also being careful so people won’t misunderstand.

another thing that fans were looking into was the type of flower he was wearing as a brooch! lol. turns out it’s a ginger flower and it means to keep memories in summer forever. ginger flowers bloom in May-June in summer. the flowers are pure white, the fragrance is refreshing when blooming, and the flowering period is very long.It's short-lived, but it's also accompanied by beautiful memories.

i’m sure we’re over interpreting here lol. but whatever. it’s the summer we remember! 🤍

THIS PART IS NOT CPN BUT TO MENTION THE TIMES the cpf related light signs made an appearance on the screen. So there is a small screen in the venue where they can zoom in on the audience and some of the stuff that made it there were cpf light signs. not to say that these people understand the reference, maybe they found it interesting so they focused on it.

you may have also noticed the lone red and green headbands in this scene! lol. as a casual viewer, you won’t be paying attention to it and if you notice, you won’t even know what they are. but it means something to us and it’s nice to see representation.

and this one, i’m pretty sure he saw that huge ass turtle light sign! 😂😂😂

Disclaimer: i am not trying to undermine what his so/os did today to make sure the green sea was there for him to see. they have worked hard and i’m sure yibo appreciated them showing up for him. this is a cpn post so i would post cpf related stuff.

Lastly, fans have tried to send them a message on weibo and this time there is an automatic reply of them giving a happy new year message ☺️

-END.

CANDIES Round-Up: Weibo TV & Internet Awards

so glad to see the 31-year old xiao zhan walk his first red carpet, the first of many, i hope. despite the stress this event brought us upto the last minute— i’m sure we are all happy to get a glimpse of our dearest xiao laoshi.

now let’s look at all the clowning potential brought to us by this event. all of this is CPN. I may miss some things but if it’s interesting enough I will make a separate post about it.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

The “day” started off with XZS sharing photos of ZZ and what most of us noticed is the brooch/pin he is wearing. It is GUCCI, which is on brand for him but what’s special is that it is a 🐝 , similar to the one he wore during 2020 Weibo Night. Guess who he was with that time? As per the wardrobe accounts, it’s not a pin but is something embroidered on his tie. But it really says alot that BXGs have one braincell and we collectively thought of the same event.

Also look at the time on his watch. Is he doing some Kadian again? I see 8:50? Or maybe i’m hallucinating and that’s the lack of sleep talking. 😂

• We had some ChenWei potential aesthetic going on because of this. HAHAHAHAHA! WeiWei borrowing his husband’s clothes to wear at an event. There is a galaxy CPN to this cause that blue top is not tagged by any wardrobe account. So it might be his own — which is usual for inner wear like this. But gives us hope that it’s a shoutout to Chen Yu. LOL.

• Plus we had the same stage, or should i say their works were show next to each other in one of the videos shown @ the event. Awwww. 🤍

• If you add all the photos that XZS posted tonight, it is 28. Love Bo ( Yibo ) in kadian. His first photoset also had the 3rd and 8th photo with a “reflection” effect to it. 3 for Zan and 8 for Bo.

Same energy :

• My favorite clowning tho involves ZZ’s necklace. You know i’m obsessed ( derogatory ) with the accessories they wear and what could it possibly mean. especially if there are similarities. Now this one appears to have the same details as WYB’s in last year’s Weibo Night which they both attended. It’s not the same, GG’s is a Gucci Heart Necklace. but that tiny detail and similarity makes me happy ☺️

The theme in ZZ’s GUCCI jewelry is filled with hearts, and it’s a coincidence that when you look at the logo, it can be the number 8. Bo. Yibo. Let me repeat, the heart shape. That’s Yibo’s favorite. Heart with a mole. Snow Heart. GG’s heart drawing last 2020. I can go on and on, it’s a recurring symbol that we CPN.

• If you wanna clown some more, if you look at his Alexander McQueen outfit, it spells out W. Is it for Mister Wang? 🤡🤡🤡

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

The second part of this post is about what you probably have been seeing bxgs share on weibo— GG who was sat next to Chen Feiyu / Arthur Chen. I won’t go into detail about all the rumors from a long time ago, but there were talk of CFY dissing WYB. If this is true and to what extent, we don’t know. What was documented tho is for a time WYB’s solo fans were mad at CFY, but the older fans stopped the online attacks because CFY has strong connections ( his parents ) in the industry. At the time, WYB was not as prominent as he is now so he can’t really protect himself. The CPN is ZZ is knows this and does not like CFY because of what he did to WYB. Or maybe he just doesn’t like nepotism babies like I do. LOL.

Now look at XZ’s face when CFY sits next to him and judge for yourself:

XZ is usually mister polite but this is not his usual reaction at awards ( or any event ) like this. Even if we don’t know about the whole WYB and CFY incident before, I will be wondering what’s going on. I mean, he didn’t even acknowledge him. XZ will usually give a bow/ nod to people even if he doesn’t know them. I saw fan cams of him greeting other people in this area so I know that the gracious XZ is still there. This is pretty sus and I understand why BXGs picked up on it. When we got photos of the seating arrangement, people were already talking about him being next to CFY and the implications of it. We all didn’t expect for an interaction like this to happen. The Chongqing Pepper really came out. If you watched his dramas, you will recognize this face that he is making and when he uses it.

On the flipside, I also don’t advise any talk about XZ having a grudge on CFY. As I said, this person has strong connections. I don’t want to imply that XZ has beef with a person with just this video alone. If anything, just take it as a double standard. Lol. with WYB, he is all smiley and scooting closer. With others, he has his bitch face on and he is moving away. 😂😂😂

A deja vu moment we also had was this one. ZZ with his award and all alone. I truly hope one day he can be at an event with WYB and he can laugh freely. I know that both their fame now forces them to be extra cautious of what they do. Be careful of who they interact with and all that. I think I’m not the only one who wants to see him laughing and genuinely enjoying an event. The nice thing tho is GG was spotted outside the venue with his team, he was chilling and texting. Who are you texting? The love of your life? Awwwww. This is a nice change from his 2020 stolen photo where he was texting and looked super stressed.

-END.
