Still remember filming an interview session that we had with Zheng Yuan Chang which was aired during the eve of Chinese New Year, that time he wished to have some changes about himself. Especially hoping to have some breakthrough in his acting and he's not just the genius Jiang Zhi Shu (his role in [They Kiss Again]) which everyone sees in their eyes.
This time as we invited him for another interview session, Zheng Yuan Chang has just finished filming the idol series [Honey and Clover], his role is a guy who couldn't make firm decisions, [The guy is very irritating, everyone would sure be grinning their teeth when they sees him, tend to love and hate him at the same time. Hope (people) would not only praise about my good looks; I also want people to use the sentence "good acting" on me].
[Best partner], the series that both Zheng Yuan Chang and Lin Yi Chen have collaborated together [They Kiss Again] is still airing in Taiwan, from a bickering couple to a bickering husband and wife, they have remind the viewers about the sweet scene which a lot of lovers had been through; but the series' rating was overtaken by Chen Qian En and Ethan Ruan's [Fated To Love You], Did [Xiao Zhong] Zheng Yuan Chang feels unease about it?
Short goodbye to Lin Yi Chen
Zheng Yuan Chang said: [Rating is something that can't be controlled by the actors, during the filming; I always thought that this is a good script, the most important thing will be the whole casts are willing to work hard together. Just like after they had finished filming all their own scenes, they would stay back and watched the filming of the other casts and leave when everyone is done, this type of determination is really, really rare; but, maybe the viewers still prefer to see the couple wondering about each other feelings than bickering from a young husband and wife; never mind, the series hasn't finished airing yet! The later part of the story will be even more exciting, I believe the viewers will continue to watch it, and myself as an actor, I'm very happy with the result.] This can only said that [They Kiss Again] didn't get to break the curse about sequels' rating can never match up to their predecessor.
Doesn't matter if the rating for the sequels is better than the predecessor or not, Xiao Zhong have long decided that he won't take part in the third installment, [Unless I'm really touched by the script! Actually I have a high anticipation to work with Lin Yi Chen again as different characters, not just working together again as Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin; when we work together again as another character, then we will know, after (our) the short separation, whether there's any improvement with our acting skills or not.] Lately, (the reporter) heard that there's a new idol series [Skip Beat], and are hoping to get the both of them to have an [reunion], but the earliest confirmation will have to wait until October. Question about him accepting the role or not, the initial step will be reading the script first. Because he didn't want to jeopardize their title as [The best on screen couple], so have to consider about the script first before accepting it; and during this time, Xiao Zhong will be searching for a new partner, and wants to discover more sparks.
Denied falling for Janine Chang
Previously, Xiao Zhong's rumor leading lady is no longer Lin Yi Chen, heard that it has changed into another person, and that will be the one who the Taiwanese Media has been describing her as the [Popularity Beauty], Janine Chang. The both of them work together in [Honey and Clover] and rumor has it that they have sparks out some sparks for each other. There's even some hard core [Zheng Yuan Chang + Lin Yi Chen Fans] accusing Xiao Zhong of betraying Lin Yi Chen, a betrayal, in words, it is obvious that they refused to accept Janine Chang. After Xiao Zhong heard about it, he didn't get upset but on the contrary he was very happy about it and said: [This will only means that Yi Chen and I have left a deep impression in the viewers' heart, the fans have even taken in the story more than us and really hope that we are on-screen and off-screen couple in life. At least now we are very good friends, but also wants to ask the Fans to please leave some room for us to improve our acting skills, I don't want Yi Chen to get bored with me! About the rumor with Janine Chang...still ok! Only a partner in the series, until this point, we are not dating each other.]
Does not oppose for falling for older women
Xiao Zhong was being reveal that he has the hearts for another female lead in the series, and that will be Tarcy Su, with a suspicious tone I (the reporter) said: [Tarcy Su is 10 years more mature that you isn't it?] Feelings, is not just about aiming for a relationship, can also be just a kind of fondness, Xiao Zhong describes that Tarcy Su's qualities will subconsciously attracting the guys. Looks like Xiao Zhong is too into his character because in the series Tarcy Su and him will have the older woman - younger guy relationship. In real life, will he able to accept that? Xiao Zhong gave it a thought and said: [Hard to say, but I am a matured thinking person, even if it did happen, base on maturity (we) won't have communication barrier, but really have to interact together to know more about the feeling.]
[Honey and Clover] will be portraying a jerk
In [Honey and Clover], Xiao Zhong will be [Zhen Shan], he describes that, the guy is quite irritating, making the ladies love and hate him at the same time, [This character is totally different from the roles that I've ever been in, he will fall for his employer (Tarcy Su) who is older than him, always hoping that he could start out a relationship with her and at the same time he also knows that his school mate Ah Gong (Janine Chang) has been secretly crushing on him. But he never down right rejected her love and her cares for him; still his heart only belongs to his employer. When I read the script earlier on, I was a bit detested by it, how could he handle his matters like this! But then when I looked around me and actually there are a lot of my guy friends who acted like this as well, they love someone in their heart but never reject other love that was given by the others. I asked them why and their answer is [Don't break the good girl's heart, who didn't wish to have their own love? Should always leave a thread for hope right?] Then only I realized that the modern days love story is not the same anymore. Everyone wants to leave their spot in someone else love life, could always [short live] in other people's heart]. Xiao Zhong describes the character as an easy going person, because a person's personality is very difficult to decipher, is hard to find a perfect person. [When everyone has reached the grinning teeth point while watching the series, I just hope that at the same time they won't hate this character.]
Having a breakthrough in his acting; doesn't need to rely on physical appearance
[Honey and Clover] is an adaptation from a bestseller manga in Japan. The story is about 5 young students in an art school and how they deal with their love, friendship and future. And who will be able to find the lucky four clover leaves in the end and tasted the love that is as sweet as the honey? It is because of the story plot and a manga adaptation, so the scene will be a bit exaggerating; like when every lead comes across a certain special incident, they will started to have a certain reaction to it, for example Janine Chang will kick people while Zheng Yuan Chang will make some ridiculous facial expression. The director call this as [millisecond changes], means that within a certain time frame they will have to change their facial expression. And having to do this exaggerating expression is actually quite hard for Xiao Zhong who has always been playing the role as a cool guy; but since he is aiming for a breakthrough, he is willing to give it a try. [I really hope the comment that I will receive from everyone will be, not really good-looking but (he) has improved his acting skills, that will be my happiest moment], Xiao Zhong wants to remain on his top status in the idol series and having to compete with all the new stars, so how can he just rely on his physical appearance?
