Some Q&A [2022]


madame FIGARO HOMMES May 2022 Issue




Q: So, for this role (Qin Shi), is she as ‘REAL’ (honest/straightforward) as you are in real life?

YM: Don’t keep saying that I am straightforward, real or the ‘living clear-headed’. Why do I have to be so real all the time. I am not even a rapper, so why do I have to diss everything? I don’t even write songs too, right?

At work or in the daily life, we still need some flexible communication skills. Don’t be too sharp or aggressive, and don’t keep dissing people. Nowadays, many people classify REAL and POLITE as opposites, but that’s not true. You can KEEP REAL (be yourself, stay real and honest), but there are not that much dramatic conflicts in life. So, we still need some PEACE & LOVE, right?




OK! Magazine 10th Anniversary Issue




Q: 
Looking back on these 10 years, OK! has also witnessed your time of "screen domination", what do you think of your achievements in these 10 years? How did you manage to maintain stability and break your own high point (record) every time?

YM: I never look back, whether it's good or bad, or other people's comments, etc. I don't pay much attention to these things, and rarely summarise myself. To ask me which thing I remember more deeply before, it may be the moment just recently read a certain news, a certain story. And I never feel to say what is called the high point, because the high must be compared with the low, I do not think of what is high and what is low.


Q: What do you think about the word "success" or this matter?

YM: How should success be defined? In fact, everyone's perspective of success is not very similar, right? For me, my principles of doing things are still to be myself and to follow my heart.





Q: How would you evaluate these 10 years?

YM: Hahaha, speaking of this, I have experienced three 10 years before, these three 10 years have passed anyway, just let them pass. We can look forward to the next few more 10 years, I hope each 10 years are interesting, abundant, and full of happiness.


Q: Some people think that you are "brave" in making decisions, what do you think?

YM: For me all decisions are made naturally, that is, it happens at the moment, then I will accept and do the thing. If I want to do it, I will do it. If I don't want to do it, I won't do it.






Q: There has been no shortage of attention on you over the years, what is the special feeling you get from this invisible power?

YM: I am very grateful for everyone's attention, and these attentions also constantly remind me to be a good role model, because the people who pay attention to me include a number of children. So, I hope to bring them positive guidance, and I also hope that under the mutual companionship, we can all be better and better in our own life journey.


Q: Do you often have high standards and requirements for yourself?

YM: Yes, in terms of work I think so, because I still want to do my profession well in either filming or something else, so that I don't drop the ball. (OK!: Do you have any requirements for the people around you?) I don't really ask or expect much from other people, because sometimes you can't even control them.






Q: Do you have any regrets in your work?

YM: There will definitely be a moment when I think this could have been done a little better.


Q: Do you make plans for yourself?

YM: No, I don't want to put a limitation on my life or anything, I would find that too boring. I'm looking forward to things that I don't expect to happen, and that's what makes it fun.


Q: What do you care more about now? Which things have become less important?

YM: At this point, I will pay more attention to my own condition and feelings, and try to reduce some meaningless social interaction. My own feelings are the most important.


Q: You've always been the "queen of promoting goods", how have your thoughts on dressing or fashion changed over the years?

YM: I don't pay attention deliberately. I think it still depends on my own mood. I don't know what's popular now. I just like to wear what I want to wear lately and buy what I want to buy lately. I probably bought a few hundred of plaid shirts last year, I think the total of plaid shirts of a company's programmers may not be as many as mine hahahahaha.
