Yang Yang : "I Never Thought That I Would Become an Actor" (From an Interview)

In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2018, Yang Yang and Wang Kai sang "My Spring Festival Gala, My Year", warmly interpreting the 35-year story of a family and the Spring Festival Gala that time. Back then as an emerging young film and television actor, Yang Yang had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala twice. For him, that year's Spring Festival Gala was a surprise.

Then Yang Yang said that "Because in fact, I learned dance when I was young. At that time, parents said that if one day you can stand on the TV and perform, let us all see you together, even if you are in the most corner, it will be a very proud thing. But I really didn't expect that I would be able to perform the song "Father and Son" in the 2016 Spring Festival Gala, and I could be on the Spring Festival Gala again this year. This is really something I didn't expect".


In previous years, with starring in a series of hit film and television works, Yang Yang had quickly become popular. He confessed that it was like being on the Spring Festival Gala stage for two years, many things he hadn't thought of in his career as an artist.

Yang Yang was born in Shanghai in 1991. Because he loved dancing since he was a child, he made outstanding achievements. In 2003, Yang Yang went to the Dance Department of Beijing People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts to study in a five-year secondary school.

At the Beijing People’s Liberation Army Academy of Arts, Yang Yang was among the best in his professional performance. At that time, his dream was just to be an excellent dancer. In early 2007, when the crew of the new version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" went to school to select actors, he almost matched the show’s Jia Baoyu. The roles passed by.

Back then Yang Yang said "At the time I was in a period of graduation, I was preparing for the debriefing ceremony, and I was also preparing for an international dance competition. I think I can't give up on those. When the crew asked me to meet them, I didn't go. I never thought that I would become an actor. I think acting is too far away from me. Later, when my mother knew that the crew wanted me to play the role of Jia Baoyu, she said that I should try it".

To Yang Yang's surprise, he was selected by director Li Shaohong. After two months of professional training, he became the actor of the adult Jia Baoyu in the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions". It is precisely with such a TV drama role that Yang Yang officially entered the film and television industry.

But in 2010, the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was officially aired and did not bring Yang Yang the peak of his acting career. Then he went to the Central Academy of Drama for a period of time for further studies, and participated in many film and television works, but none of them caused much repercussions.

In April 2015, the movie "Left Ear" starring Yang Yang was aired. With the image of Xu Yi played in the film, it won the attention of more industry insiders and audiences. Yang Yang was recognized as one of the most popular "flow niche" in the domestic entertainment industry.

Once  Reporter asked "Everything has a good side and a bad side. The good side is that your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but at the same time, there are more and more doubts about you".

Then Yang Yang said "I think this is normal. Although I will be sad and unhappy, I think it doesn't matter because I know what I want. I hope I have a good character and a good acting state. I will continue to try and let everyone see my versatility. I am not "small fresh meat" I am "broiled pork".

Counting from the role of Jia Baoyu in the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" in 2007, the 27-year-old Yang Yang had gone through 10 years of acting career. In the complex background, there were many emerging film and television stars like Yang Yang, who are facing constant pursuit and doubt.

Then Reporter asked "Now when everyone defines "little fresh meat", they often talk about you without an appointment. What do you think?"

Yang Yang said "I think the first thing "Xiao Xian Rou" pays attention to is appearance. I want everyone to see that I am not a simple "Xiao Xian Rou", I am "Braised Pork". "Braised pork" has a taste, it is made by adding various things, and I also hope that I can let everyone see some of my own differences like "Braised Pork". Acting is my life's business, not just now."

After that Reporter asked  "At a young age, there are so many funds, fans, dramas, flowers, applause... Do you think you can handle it calmly?"

Back then Yang Yang replied "It may also have a lot to do with my studies in the military academy since I was a child. The training of the military academy makes me very independent, allows me to have my own ability to judge, and let me know which of my own things are my bottom line, which things I should do, and which things I can’t touch. . I think acting is my life's thing, not just the current thing."

Now I think he proves his words back then and attracts more fans. He made his path in his own way. Let's cheer him. 💪

Thank You !
