YY: Hello, friends of CCTV

I am Yang Yang

I played Han Li in drama TIA

Q: As a classic IP

the process of drama adaptation of TIA was highly anticipated

Did you have any pressure?

YY: There was certainly pressure

Because TIA is an IP

that has a lot of followers

I have also watched the anime

Our production

actually carries

very high expectations of many people

So, I wanted to turn the pressure into motivation

and I hope

more people can enjoy our drama version of

TIA

Q: What's the biggest difference

between Han Li and

all the other roles in the past?

YY: I think the biggest difference is that the character

Han Li has a base-color of an ordinary person

Basically, two words "ordinary people"

There are

complexity and growth in this character

Q: So, during the process of preparing this character,

what was the biggest difficulty?

YY: Actually

when we started to shoot the beginning portion of the story

since Han Li was boy from the mountains

he had to

show some youthfulness

I remember when I first finished shooting

the first scene of Han Li's youth period

in his youthful look

The director came over and told me...

because she actually didn't

really have a very concrete

image

whether we can achieve

the youthful feeling very well

But after that scene

the director came over and said

"aiya, very youthful!"

So, I felt at ease

Q: Because I've seen the youth period Han Li

actually having a lot of minor expressions

and some slight movement that very much

conveyed the youthfulness feeling you just mentioned

These are the details that you added

when you prepared for this role

YY: Yes, I even gave Han Li

a little bit of "sneaky-ness"

because Han Li

was a rather inexperienced person

At the beginning

he was oppressed by the struggle of survival

He really did not know much

about anything in the outside world

But he was almost

"taken" by Dr. Mo at the end, right?

After that

he kind of grew up a bit, thanks to Dr. Mo, too.

After listening to Dr. Mo's words, he went on an adventure

to see the world outside

and finally

walk on the cultivation path step by step

Q: When you watched the drama,

did you secretly sent some comments?

YY: I usually am the one reading the comments

Reading the review of the netizens

There was one comment that I saw was really good

I meant, a comment that was really interesting was

"Can Han Li possibly be from ShanDong?"

Because Han Li ate wraps and green onions/leeks in the youth period

I think this point/meme is very interesting

Q: In the episodes shown so far

Han Li ran into many dangers, but he always escaped unscathed

What do you think are his ways of survival and his philosophy of life?

YY: I think

it's like the 8-word proverb by Dr. Mo

"Concealing skill in clumsiness, using obscurity to reveal clarity"

I think this also help Han Li developed his

personality of

"conceal your abilities and bide your time; know when to advance and when to retreat"

Q: In the process of Han Li's growth

which experience did you like the most?

YY: I personally liked his experience

in the Yellow Maple Valley more

(I think the experience in Yellow Maple Valley) <-- no Chinese caption

contained some warm-colored memories

Although it was short and precious
