Zheng Yijian is afraid of paparazzi and dare not go to the cinema, so he has not considered getting married yet.



  Zheng Yijian, who was once popular throughout South East Asia for "The Bewitched Boy", was called "Nie Feng" when he walked down the street after filming "The Wind and Cloud" directed by Liu Weiqiang ten years ago. But because of the financial crisis, it was not until this year that the film company brought "The Wind and Cloud 2" back to the screen, starring Zheng Yijian and Guo Fucheng. Recently, our reporter interviewed Zheng Yijian. He talked about the changes between the two people. Zheng Yijian said: "Both of us have matured a lot. Nowadays, the characters in comic books are more like characters in the real world, with more human touch."


  Nie Feng is more humane


  Q: After ten years of filming "Wind and Cloud 2", what’s the difference?


  Zheng Yijian: Today’s stunts have made great progress compared to ten years ago. "Wind and Cloud" was the first Hong Kong stunts film that year, and it sold very well. Many people didn’t call me Zheng Yijian when they saw me, and they would say, "Hey, isn’t that Nie Feng!" Everyone wanted to make a sequel to "Wind and Cloud", but they couldn’t find investment. Until now, when the company bought the copyright back and found the Peng brothers to shoot, we all felt that we had waited too long, including the author of the manga. This thing can’t wait too long.


  Q. The Peng brothers are all ghost filmmakers. How is it different from the feeling directed by Liu Weiqiang?


  Zheng Yijian: Can I see ghost movies in the mainland? (Yes) I heard from the film company that now you can’t make ghost movies, and you can’t make bewitching boys. You can make anything in the past. But this one I became a demon, and it felt like a ghost, very strange. (laughs)


  Q: How has the subject matter changed in ten years?


  Zheng Yijian: The first film tells the story of two brothers who root out Xiongba for the same goal. Now Guo Fucheng’s role as Bu Jingyun is still very affectionate, and I am enchanted. The previous movies were cool, but this time it is more humane, with more emotional scenes inside, closer to real characters. As for manga movies, I think they will always be popular. I have always liked them myself, such as King Kong. I think movies are about giving people the space for fantasy, and the audience can escape reality when they enter the theater.


  Guo Fucheng is more talkative


  Q: Has Guo Fucheng become more numerous?


  Zheng Yijian: When we first worked together ten years ago, the two of us didn’t seem to communicate very much. Usually you shoot yours, and I shoot mine. The shooting time is very rushed, and we also have to go about our own things. This time we met again, and we all felt that it was fate. Maybe we were not very good friends, but fate made us meet. He has changed a lot, and he is more mature and sees things more macroscopically. In the past, when he was a singer, he just worked alone, and no matter how good or bad he was, he didn’t need to communicate with others. Now we are filming like a family.


  Q: Guo Fucheng has won two Golden Horse Best Actors. Do you have higher requirements for yourself?


  Zheng Yijian: Winning an award is a kind of encouragement, and you must express yourself well during the filming process.


  Q: I heard you broke his head.


  Zheng Yijian: At that time, others told me to play ten strokes, but they also told him to play eight strokes. However, when filming, they kept saying faster and faster. He stopped after playing eight strokes. I was still wondering, but the move was too fast, so I injured him. This is also impossible. As an actor, injuries are always inevitable.


  Q: What memorable event did you have?


  Zheng Yijian: After I became enchanted, I couldn’t wear clothes, and I had to spray white paint all over my body. Thailand is very hot. I filmed all action scenes, and I wasn’t allowed to sweat. And when I unloaded, it was really spectacular. This feeling is really unforgettable. In the past, I used to shoot the action first and then do the stunts. Now it is the action and the stunts, so I often shoot in front of the air, and it is difficult to get into the play.


  Q: I feel like you don’t talk a lot on stage. Guo Fucheng is always talking alone. Are you usually like this?


  Zheng Yijian: Guo Fucheng and I are "wind" and "cloud", and Nie Feng doesn’t talk a lot. Besides, Guo Fucheng’s Mandarin is better than mine! In fact, he has always been like this, and he likes to talk a lot, but he seems to talk more in the past two years. Maybe it has something to do with his liking for spicy hot pot, and his personality is more outgoing. As soon as we arrived in Beijing, he took us to eat spicy hot pot together like a local. He can really eat spicy food, and then he talks a lot.


  Afraid of paparazzi, I dare not go to the cinema


  Q: Do you usually watch movies?


  Zheng Yijian: I don’t go to the cinema too much, because the paparazzi are so powerful, I usually buy a lot of movies to watch at home, and I haven’t been to karaoke for two years.


  Q: Will they keep following?


  Zheng Yijian: Yes, these two years are getting more and more outrageous. They must write about things that make people unhappy, and even if they are happy, they must write them as unhappy. After a reporter became a paparazzi, his eyes changed. It may be because he always thinks about bad things and becomes very… (wretched?) Yes, and there are many acne on his face.


  Q. Now some female celebrities can’t hide and say, "Please don’t make me look too ugly"?


  Zheng Yijian: They must be very ugly, and they must make the bad things the worst. Now, I can only go to some places they are not very good at, and sometimes I still can’t escape.


  Q: Do you have any plans to get married?


  Zheng Yijian: I haven’t thought about getting married yet. The years are different, and the ideas are different. Men don’t have to get married. I am more like Guo Fucheng in this regard. Work makes me feel very fulfilled. In addition to work and acting, I will spend the rest of my time with my family and friends. For emotional things, I care more about the memories left by that process.
