#AgainstTheCurrent Weibo Vision Conference interview (part 1) #LiuXueYi his answers always so candid & tinge with humour 😂: Q: We had a bunch of trending topics at the Conference. Did you have time to look at them? LXY: I haven't looked yet. What's up? Q: Uh, there were almost 20 trending topics. LXY: That can't be right. Q: Really. LXY: I should learn from this. Why are netizens' imaginations so wild these days? (they laugh) Q: And there's also… LXY: Is this live? Q: It's not. LXY: Ah, alright. Q: Have you seen that netizens have been following Against The Current to the point of obsession lately? And have you gotten used to being called "Lin Daye" now? LXY: I've always been quite used to it. Ah, "Lin Daye" (as in "old man Lin") — I'm not used to that. "Lin Daye" (Master Lin) is okay. (it's a play of words here 😹) Q: So would you prefer audiences to call you "Lin Daye" or "Xueyi Ge"? LXY: I think I will always serve the character. I think having the character loved by everyone, recognized by everyone, and familiar to everyone is what makes me happiest. Q: And because Against The Current is so popular right now, everyone is digging up your past ... like your mountain climbing, for example. Do you want people to dig up these things? LXY: It's fine. Every time a drama airs, these things get pulled out again. I'm used to it by now. Q: You're already used to it. So you're open to being "archaeologically excavated"? 😂 LXY: Yeah, that's right. Q: And everyone also feels for you about the days you spent waiting for opportunities. Is there any opportunity you particularly wanted back then that has now come true? LXY: No, actually I want to clarify something. It seems like everyone's been saying I was always waiting for opportunities. But actually I've played a lot of other roles too. It's not like I was just waiting the whole time and then suddenly ...... because I walked step by step by step to get to where I am now and be seen by everyone. I'm very honored that this work could be loved by everyone, recognized and supported by everyone. And in the future, I will continue to work hard to portray every role well. [Love his answer here - it will be a disservice to his past work & characters if people think he's been just waiting for a "breakout" role like this] Q: If you could, what would you say to your past self during that confused period? LXY: I wouldn't say "you should do this or that." Just do what you should do. Be grounded and make sure that every night when you go to sleep, you have no regrets. Q: Your cooking videos have also gotten a lot of attention. If you were to invite friends over for a meal now, what's your signature dish? LXY: I don't really have a signature dish. For all dishes, whenever I see a recipe that looks especially appetizing, I note it down and make it someday. I probably have some basic skills, so nothing I make turns out too bad Q: Or what's a dish you've made recently? LXY: I haven't cooked in a long time. Q: So you haven't cooked in a long time. Must be too busy. (I have translated to midpoint of the vid & will continue later)
