I have this Lolworthy appreciation for Zhou Yu's actor at the moment [out of costume]. He's hilarious [and used to be a model apparently =3] and IS TOTALLY BUFFER THAN LU BU which is massive LULZ in itself.
But like, mimicking the actions of his horse on national TV? |Db Win. He was also all like 'Before, when I was younger, I used to like Zhuge Liang. Now, it's more like *low voice, clenched teeth* "Zhuge Liang >|" and about how the actors, during filming, congregated into groups according to 'kingdom' and used to discuss each other. As in Wei would all be like 'I bet Shu is doing so and so and so' and Shu would be like 'I bet Wei are discussing us right now =3' etc etc.
AND THEN HE BAGGED SHU!! which is probably why I like him a lot better now. Da Qiao was there and they called her on to sit with Zhou Yu onstage. She's really tall and pretty and did this lovely dance. So then the two hosts were like to Zhou Yu, 'So, who do you like better now? Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao?' and Zhou Yu was kinda like '=| Do I have to answer?' but he managed to get out of it fairly well by saying 'Oh hay, I have new found appreciation for Sun Shang Xiang and Diao Chan ;D'. Smart boy.
Then when Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's actors came up [separately from Zhou Yu], they were like 'We wanted to hold a drinking competition between everyone from Shu, Wei and Wu. But then we never got to because we realized that Zhang Fei alone could drink all the rest of them under the table |Db." At which Guan Yu added 'Two boxes of beer is all it would have taken.' xD
There was also a part when the hosts mentioned to the three brothers about how Zhou Yu was talking them down before. To which Guan Yu was all like 'I guess? I mean, us 'borrowing' Jing Zhou from them was probably kind of objectionable. But then, poor Shu, we had no home! Jing Zhou was a great place for us to live and then Wu wanted to take it away from us, so in the end, I think Wu were the ones being unkind \o/'
Inter-kingdom rivalry. I like~ \o/ Pity no one from Wei showed up D= But I guess having Cao Cao sitting around a campfire on a talk show-esque thing with Sun Quan and Liu Bei would've been quite hilarious in itself.
Ahahahaha. Speaking of hilarious, Lu Bu's actor. Also a lot of LULZ there.
He was talking about the period of time on set when he was required as the main actor [ie. the entire day's worth of filming was focused on him]. So he was like 'After the first couple of days, I thought to myself, I can totally do this! And asked some of the others where the gym was. I wanted to work out after the day's filming. Then I caught the martial arts instructor shaking his head in pity, as if saying 'poor boy, you have no idea what you're in for'. By the third day of filming, I was asking for the nearest massage parlor and by the fifth day, I was asking for the nearest hospital.' And he mentioned his horse 'Red Hare' and how it was really temperamental and how he got thrown off a lot so by the end of filming he was totally PRO at knowing how to fall properly from a horse xDDD;
First two episodes [one hour each!] premiers tomorrow, 19:35 AEST on Tianjing Channel~ |Db
