https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYyW_NklHyI/?igsh=MTd6NTUwc3VycHYybA== Vivien Yang I've been following your work since 2021 and am amazed by the diversity of your roles and the nuances of your performances. Each time you appear, it's as if you've completely transformed into a different person; your eyes, demeanor, emotions, and subtle details are all distinctly different. This time, you're playing Zhan Zhao, a character with extremely strong principles. What did you enjoy most during this process? YY: I think the most enjoyable was the tension between action scenes and dramatic scenes The result turned out pretty well and I really enjoyed it Araminta Chiu ZZA's action scenes were incredibly exciting to watch; I even want to watch them three or four times! But I still want to remind you to take good care of yourself, please try your best not to get injured, and make sure your left hand injury heals properly. What does playing the role of Zhan Zhao mean to you? YY: Tha...

YY: The Zhan Zhao in ZZA is the heart of the entire story and the main character who drives the narrative He faced the injustices in this world And the character of Zhan Zhao had a dual identity as both an official and a chivalrous knight so he also experienced confusion self-doubt and such reflection and struggle 0:36 Q: In your performance, in which details are Zhan Zhao's "strength" and "gentleness" reflected respectively? YY: I think Zhan Zhao's "strength/toughness" and "gentleness" arose from the clash between his chivalry and his adherence to the law Then, regarding "strength/toughness", if manifested in actions it means his movements are precise and swift In terms of personality this "strength/toughness" means Zhan Zhao is resilient For example, in the scene at the West Bridge Port he was surrounded ...

Actually, I was quite reluctant to leave when filming wrapped. Let the audience decide. 0:10 [YY: 99% knight] （not sure how to translate 俠客） 0:12 Q: An impressive scene from the trailer? [YY playing the role of Zhan Zhao] YY: I think it was the scene at the end where Zhan Zhao stood in the snow supported by his sword  Actually, Zhan Zhao had already found out the truth at that time right after a desperate battle After he beat the biggest enemy He could finally really unload his heavy burden I would feel tired for Zhan Zhao Although himself didn’t feel tired  when he was chasing down the case But I actually feel sorry for him.
