December 19,2006 afternoon 4pm

Ekin Cheng, Jordan Chan, Zhou Mu Yin were the special guests.

主持人: Welcome Ekin, Jordan and Mu Yin. New images?

郑伊健: Not regard as new

主持人: Of course Jordan's image on the internet evaluated extremely high. Many of our internet friends say "really good"

陈小春: What image?

主持人: In the drama's image. Now will be a brand new Huo Yuan Jia, and Chen Zhen, Ekin and Jordan replace the old edition performers.

陈小春: There are other actors, there is Zhao Mu Yin and Pumpkin head.

主持人: Many web friends want to ask, have you seen the 1981 edition of the drama before?

陈小春: Have seen before.

主持人: Mu Yin you are very young have you come across that edition?

周牧茵: I have, but not dare to watch.

郑伊健 (laughing): Afraid compare not as good.

主持人: But now you create a not the same 《霍元甲》 because the playwright and the director understand feelings perhaps even more. There is a high appraisal when you Ekin go out to perform Huo Yuan Jia. In your view what kind of appearance should Huo Yuan Jia have?

郑伊健: I have also seen the old edition before. Of course is the Chinese people's hero, is a historical figure. we formerly play roles mostly is shut out reality. This is the first time I play the part of a historical figure. Pretty happy. If can succeed, because I myself am Chinese, but never acted before a genuine historical figure so I am very interested.

主持人: You say this is the first time you played a historical figure. With regard to this you will make so preparations? For example will you talk with Huo Yuan Jia's descendants or read historical accounts?

郑伊健: Of course, besides watch the former edition of the drama, also visited his descendants and talked with them. Take a look at their Beijing is how? Of course also develop my own inner mentality.

主持人: The last editions Huo Yuan Jia was Huang Yuan Shen . Do you feel as you create the character that it is different?

郑伊健: Completely the same. We have same clothing and shaved head.

主持人: Also have people say that Jordan playing chen Zhen is both appropriate and not appropriate, let me ask Jordan when was the first time you learned you perform this role? What frame of mind? Happy?

陈小春: Happy

主持人: Excited?

陈小春: Excited

主持人: You want a fight role?

陈小春 Because basically in the past I have performed some fighting roles, however when performing Chen Zhen, I at once imagine unable to cope. Because is that person's impression, I believe my personal impression is very deep. I should explain to the Chinese people, Chen Zhen is indeed Li Xiao Long, and Li Xiao Long is Chen Zhen. Especially in Hong Kong Chen Zhen is even more associated with Li Xiao Long. so now when I come to perform I am a little afraid. Because the jewel is before, because Li Xiao Long's performance really is penetrate the whole. Originally this figure is an imaginary one. Very many people have filmed Chen Zhen, almost have some Li Xiao Long's style inside. I myself also very afraid, however finally I feel Jordan is Chen Zhen. then I can break my own concerns.

主持人: we on the internet see many friends have said Jordan has many works. For example with Ekin collaborated on Young and Dangerous series, an ancient series compares leather jacket, but leather and Chen Zhen completely not the same. now you act as a national hero.

陈小春: I feel although I was not born in that decade, the decade has many Chinese people, the Japanese people invaded a large area of China, prove what? Foreign people cannot understand our issue, sorry our thing. I'm very excited . I remember have a scene is perform with Japanese ( angry expression) that kind of feeling then appears.

主持人: See Jordan's hands get injured.

陈小春: Yesterday, again fighting the Japanese

主持人: A consequence of fighting?

郑伊健: Is not him suffer fighting is by substitute fight.

陈小春: Earlier fight here, when quickly finish work, take a eastern knife fight here, still it doesn't matter.

主持人: Ekin you also get hurt?

郑伊健: Also have a little.

陈小春: Your skill is very good.

郑伊健: Is not!

主持人: I heard say you searched out team to come back,k for example in scene compete with Kung Fu

陈小春: on the mainland there are many masters.

主持人: resembles complete family good fortune simply two males with three females story.

陈小春: Basically the three are already Ekin's.

主持人: Oh really? Is there not one have a Japanese girl, is yesterday injured fighting her?

陈小春: Is not.

 屈: I'm not that fierce.

陈小春: She is Japanese, also is my first love, but not able, she is Japanese, obliged next fierce heart, fierce hand.

主持人: Cry?

陈小春: Still not filmed

主持人: Believe will cry?

郑伊健: She only is female role murdered, I'll introduce the females.

主持人: Introduce relationships a little, original wife also here.

周牧茵: Chen Zhen with Wang Xiu Zhi, I with Ding Li is feel enemy.

主持人: Jordan I want to ask you, are you able often with Ekin in the heart disagree and not comfortable. He each time has more women than you.

陈小春: But really is not like this. Ekin just talks eternally.

郑伊健: I am a wastrel

主持人: Just a minute ago introduce three actresses all considered to be new entries to the circle, first time film with you two seniors, certainly Jordan will be mad.

陈小春: They are new, haven't come across them in a scene

主持人: They take unfair advantage of you?

陈小春: You didn't see, particularly is my next to me pumpkin.

周牧茵: Injustice. Have once eaten chocolate. He said eating chocolate is very romantic for college students, I say eat, then even if eat or not..pull what? He said I only like to eat sweet things, I say you eat, finally is not eat I say eat and still is not eat. I feel wronged he plays big game.

主持人: Really actually want to see you eat a mouthful.

陈小春: I usually don't eat snacks

周牧茵: Yes that day I see you eat very happy.

陈小春: Can't talk

主持人: So young people collaborating on the set is very interesting, But I will feel Ekin is somewhat serious. Is he like this?

郑伊健: Unlikely

周牧茵: Actually at the outset I didn't know anything about them to have an opinion at first I think Ekin is serious and solemn, but afterwards...

陈小春: He's still a little serious

周牧茵: Is not! He really is the cute neighborhood kid personality, very outgoing, likely in front of an audience he doesn't reveal that side but in fact it's there.

陈小春: So fell in love with him

周牧茵: No ..I love you

主持人: It's said Ekin with Ding Li's scene, you really use her as an older sister

郑伊健: I think, but her age doesn't resemble.

主持人: But she explains when enter the scene she really feels then is your older sister.

郑伊健: Because we are actors, possible except for the scene, we also unable to take the role's scene away is place mind inside

主持人:In private you also call each other by the characters names?


郑伊健; Right, usually ..except her.

陈小春: Ekin often gives us nicknames

周牧茵: get back actor nickname " pregnant"

主持人: Explain nickname



周牧茵: We normal people not have a nickname

主持人: Web friends will say see Huo Yuan Jia as a splendid hero

郑伊健: Ah! a splendid hero with a bald head.

主持人: He is on watching the film have an impression

郑伊健: If he completely watches then not be the same

主持人: For this role you shaved off your hair do you feel this was a sacrifice?

郑伊健: I just a moment ago have thought before, I feel this hair next topic of talk. Actually is image. After have made a telephone call say "shaved, already shaved" then after make another phone call "We go together shave"

陈小春: Because hair will grow

主持人: Then will see long, fast or slow?

陈小春: You in a rush or what?

郑伊健: Still have very many people say he often keeps long hair, so I shaved my hair.

主持人: So this image isn't very difficult to accept, in the past have said it was hard to accept.

郑伊健: Isn't difficult...if you don't look in the mirror then you can accept.

陈小春: I can accept long hair or short hair.

周牧茵: OK what? That day you shave head and put on makeup you were clutching your hair and crying. Not truly is real crying but false crying.

陈小春: World cannot accept that much hair loss, I think to myself shaved, an image or not an image, as a result not an image.

郑伊健: I think Zhao Mu Yin with a shaved head would not look bad, like a nun.

主持人: If girls cut their hair off for an image that would be a shame.

郑伊健: But now how you see them is not the norm, because every day we see them in ancient clothing, Oh! Do we recognize her? Because with women the change is very great.

主持人: Oh ..like this?

陈小春: Think it over a little

主持人: I'll think it over Our net friends remember you both in Young and Dangerous. How many times have you collaborated do you have enough fingers to count?

陈小春; Can't count...Ekin can count.

郑伊健: Can't count...too many ...also can't count too few.

主持人: So you have a collaboration understanding.

郑伊健: Originally didn't...now have ...originally I feel... groan ...Jordan.

陈小春: groan...Ekin

周牧茵: You two. Don't act! You two are online already have broken your image at the top of the mountain.

主持人: How close is your relationship?

周牧茵: Later we gossip, they say don't..Ekin and I then are good.

主持人: In what way good?

郑伊健: Because these three women are not gentle and tender, so we feel Jordan and I are good

周牧茵: Between you two who plays the gentle and soft role?

郑伊健: How can I be gentle and soft?

周牧茵; Ekin's face is gentle and soft, inside extremely male. Jordan's face is very rough, inside he is a woman.

主持人: Watch out, these women will give you a headache.

陈小春: Ekin has a headache

郑伊健: Pumpkin things have a headache, She herself is a pumpkin.

主持人: Zhao Mu Yin's part 赵倩男with her current image how does it compare?

郑伊健: There is no resemblance. But also there is energy, because she resembles my older sister. Eternally she will take care of me, but now I feel I am taking care of her. But she has very many complaints, I don't know her. In the drama the male is the decision maker.

主持人: How , you feel her character is what kind of person? Give me some descriptions.

周牧茵: dare to love , dare to hate, independent, graceful, seem more like that,

陈小春: Extensive love

主持人: How does your own character react to her?

周牧茵: I am dare to love dare to hate person, also character comparatively graceful

陈小春: You! Sorry

主持人: Originally want to ask the girls if they find pressure collaborating with you two. Actually they don't.

周牧茵: Actually at the outset there was.

丁莉: If we say there was pressure here they will flatten us.

周牧茵: We are new, Ekin and Jordan are seniors in the entertainment industry, when I am a student I am crazy about these two. Now I am collaborating with them. My classmates are dying with envy. Actually my pressure is very big, but contact is long, pretty good , unlikely any pressure.

郑伊健: I remember the first day when I start to work with them. I am comparatively serious, because I don't know them, then I work together with Zhao Mu Yin, she speaks Mandarin, I speak Cantonese, now I'm pretty confident in Mandarin, so start some jokes. Have filmed a few scenes, feel pretty good. Although she is new she displays a not new image.

主持人: But now hear you speak Mandarin still is a little labored

陈小春: In the drama have problem

周牧茵: You are making jokes again.

陈小春: Impossible to joke?

主持人: In the film have any sentence very funny

周牧茵: 丁莉 can speak Cantonese but myself and 屈 only southern words. But Ekin and Jordan in the scenes already instruct us. Actually in the scenes don't need language to communicate, but action, expression in their eyes teaches us a lot.

郑伊健: Actually we explain the complete sentence, (drag Jordan by the clothes) " Talk Ah!"

陈小春: Sometimes a situation will occur a specially long Southern Language speech but final sentence perhaps is Mandarin, comparatively interesting, if Southern Province speech they listen understand. Southern language speech is tough, completely it is Ekin who instructs.

郑伊健: Right..is me...is me

周牧茵: I teach him Mandarin

主持人: This decade of Huo Yuan Jia, is everyone affected the same? In peaceful age we need this kind of spirit. Because already film many months, after continue next picture responsibility will look forward to any one scene.

郑伊健: Very many scenes not yet filmed. There are very important things, for example want the conflict with foreigners, again compare martial arts. So much haven't filmed.

主持人:Today our time is limited There are many things still want to ask you , many questions, but ai believe we will have another opportunity

陈小春: Of course, How can we not have another chance.

主持人: Take off your hat?

陈小春: I'm afraid Ekin will look better.

周牧茵: You look like a pirate
