Gong Cast Interview on HunanTV


This interview was conducted on January 2, 2011 before Gong was released. The three main cast of Gong got invited by Hunan TV to do an hour long interview where they talked about BTS fun.

Watch Interview (partially English subbed on Viki)

Some observations made by Mango_cake:
  • After the host shows a photo of FSF carrying YM in the "peach blossom pavilion" scene in Gong, FSF exclaims "Look how happy I am!" gleefully.
  • After the host shows a photo of YM and Mickey holding hands during their "dance scene" in Gong, FSF remarks (teasingly) "And they're even holding hands..."
  • Also after that "FSF carrying YM" pic was shown, FSF says YM was so easy to carry, and keeps going on and on about it--he talks about how light she is even though she's so tall, he could spin around several times carrying her and he wouldn't be tired, then he turns directly to YM and says "Really, you are the lightest person I've ever carried!" in a sort of "praising/admiring"-type tone.
  • The host talks about 4th prince and 8th prince choosing love vs. power in Gong. Then she asks YM what she thinks FSF/Mickey would pick (ie love or their career). YM says, "I know FSF will pick his career!" Upon which FSF turns around to YM and says "Not necessarily...how do you know?!"
  • The host mentions how they film so often in HengDian; FSF says to YM "We should buy a house there!" YM jokes: "You buy and I'll live in you guys house!"
  • Previously in the show, they talk about the nicknames for each other. FSF calls YM "Mi Jie", i.e. "older sister Mi" (although this seems to be mostly in public--in the same interview he just referred to her as "Mi" and he's also called her just "Mi Mi" in other interviews). Since FSF is actually older than YM the host asks about it, he explains that it was a joke at first because everyone calls her that, then over time it became an "ai chen" (directly translates as "love name" in Chinese but the meaning is more like a "pet name"). At the end of the show when YM's fan (a guy) comes up to ask YM questions, in his first comment he also calls YM "Mi Jie" (since it is what her fans typically call her). FSF immediately cuts in asking (also sounding a tad jealous IMO) "How come you call her Mi Jie too?!" YM then turns to him and explains that it is what her fans typically call her. (And I feel like FSF should know this since he even said it started as a joke due to other people calling her that, but he seemed to forget about this detail during his initial reaction!)
  • When YM's fan is giving her the gift, FSF is hovering right behind the guy watching the whole thing intently for a good 2 full minutes (reminding me of an overprotective boyfriend haha), leaving his own numerous gifts to the side forgotten.
  • At one point the host talks about the nicknames for fans. e.g. FSF fans are called "Feng Ling" ("windchimes"), YM's fans are called "Mi Feng" (bees). After the host mentions this, YM turns to FSF and in the background you can hear her ask, "Aren't my fans 'Feng Mi' (honey) "? FSF corrects her saying, "No, 'Feng Mi' are our fans." And they both don't sound annoyed by it, FSF actually sounds a bit proud and happy when he mentions "our" fans. So clearly FSF is very aware of the fans of their pairing, and YM got confused about her fans vs YM/FSF fans (of course the two terms are very similar, just "flipped" from one another, but the term "Mi Feng" has been around for much longer and she's always seemed to be very aware of her fans).
  • At the end of the show, there's a segment where a fan of each actor comes up to ask questions and give a gift to them. FSF's fan recommends a restaurant that he should go to. FSF says, "It has to be strong-flavoured!" The fan says it is, and then FSF turns to YM...we can't hear exactly what he said but it certainly seemed like he was suggesting to her that they go together...and it didn't seem like he included Mickey in this conversation! (Like a number of their other discussions in this interview where poor Mickey was ignored...) I also wonder if he asked the question about the restaurant because he himself likes to eat strong-flavoured food or if YM does.
