Da S//ZaiZai Back to Back, Yet Still Shows Their Unity

B = Barbie
Z = ZaiZai

(Question. 1) If you were to use an animal to describe each other, what will it be?

B: Probably a cat, because he's very capricious, changing every once in awhile. I think he's more like a cat.

Z: Once she spreads out her wing, she's like a devilish bat. Sometimes when I hear her laughing at me, i can feel that evilness in her laughter, it's indescribable. It's like after her laughs, something horrible will happen. She really likes to make prediction of my life; she would say, "Mm, you don't look too good today. You must be extra careful these days." Such a crow mouth, everything she predicts is usually right. So since then, everytime she's about to say, "I can see..." I would say, "Mm." (Puts his index finger against his lips) Signaling Barbie to keep quite. Then she would be like, "Ok ok..." And that's how everything end.


(Question. 2) Do you know which animal each other has used to describe you?

Z: It's probably a pig! Because I love to sleep!
(Host): It's a cat.
Z: Oh really?
B: I have a feeling that he must have used a deadly snake, a beast, lion, tigers...these type of stuff to describe me, since he must have used a fierce looking animal to describe me.


(Question. 3) Can you describe some of the special characteristics that your partner possesses?

B: I think...I think ZaiZai is a really adorable person, that's why I can easily get along with him. It's probably because he resembles my little sister a lot, so no matter what he does, I would think of him as my sister and I can always bear with him. For example, he would get really naughty and then he would start acting dumb, acting really cute. And then sometimes he would get really moody and would even want to cry. That's what makes me think he's a really cute person.

Z: A really reasonable and mature woman. An excellent person! Because she said I'm as tame as a cat, so I must have to praise her. Oh nvm, this is BS, I have to praise her, because she knows a lot of stuff about me. Director, can you cut this part of the clip away?! (I think ZaiZai is confused here, I'm confused too...)


(Question. 4) When there are times that you two would have different opinions, what would you do?

Z: We often have arguments, of course, usually these arguments start off from very minor problems, so why do we still argue because of these little problems? Afterwards, I started to realize that arguing is a way to get us along together. All along, it's because of these conflicts that strengthen our friendship. Because she's a very witty person and she talks very sharply. Whereas I'm a person who has a lot of ideas, but has difficulty in expressing myself. So everytime, she would hold on to this weakness during our arguments. So afterwards, I'd always be the one to obey her, letting her get her way.

B: Not true! He never lets me get my way, he's usually the person who wins over me! Don't accuse me...haha! It's always me who obeys him, because he would always call me sister, so how can I not obey him? Afterall, being with him is like being with my sister, so I would always bear with him, root for him, comfort him...etc. So if we have different opinions, I'd let him get his way.


(Question. 5) Do you know what each other likes to eat? And what do you like to eat?

Z: Personally, I like to eat pork rib w/ rice. And because Barbie is a vegetarian, so I believe she likes to eat anything that only has veggie in it.

B: Because I'm a vegetarian, so I can eat anything that has veggie in it. As for Zai...he likes to eat pork rib w/ rice. He needs to eat a lot of rice and a big piece of meat.

(Host): So he's a meat eater.

B: Yes, he's a meat eater.

Z: Actually, there are many vegetables in pork rib rice! So my diet's really balanced! But she always denies it, nun!


(Question. 6) In , which shot has the most NG takes? And why?

Z: I didn't make any NG takes! Fine, it's me. In , the scene that has the most NG takes is actually an unimportant scene. That is when I had to say something to Qi Luo in the corridor of Ling's dad's house. Actually, I didn't have to say a lot of stuff, but that day I...I don't know what happened to me, probably I was too tired due to either filming too late, or I played too much. What happened was I kept on getting tongue ties! We got about 30 NG takes!..I believe. It really got on the director's nerve until he finally sai, "Good! Cut!" Then I felt really bad that I just wanted to jump into a river right at that instant.

B: Um..everytime Zai got to say a little bit more, he would get a lot of NG takes. (Laughingly said) Then he would get so many NG takes that he would start to get speechless or he would start to make up his own long dialogue. As long as the director doesn't cry, "Cut!" You can see Zai continuing to make things up and he would go nonstop. (Laughs)

Z: I know! And so what? That's because I'm a person full of creativity and I don't like to memorize my dialogue, you know, it becomes very stiff if you memorize it. Personally, I like to read over my dialogue and I would express it using my style. They always say I make things up, but I didn't! I'm protesting!

(Question. 7) Being able to work with each other after two years, what difference do you find in each other?

Z: The difference is...both of us got old! (Laughs) No...the difference should be found on her acting. (Clears throat), When I was acting in with her...I didn't know what acting is all about, so I didn't even know if her acting is good or bad. It's after that I started to act in other series and once I accepted , I finally realized...Wow! Barbie is really...I've mentioned it before! I said she was....mm..within our age range, she is the most stabled actress, she can keep her acting skill really well and steady.

B: After working with him in , I realized he's totally different. Even his facial appearance and body structure has totally changed. When I was working with him in , he didn't have a beard yet, and now that I work with him in , I can see a beard coming out from him, also he has become really strong, really manly. I can also see that he has done a lot of homework before accepting , for example, his pronunciation and acting skill has improved a whole lot. There had been a few times that I got scared by him due to his excellent acting, I felt like I wasn't acting WITH him, but was actually WATCHING him act.


(Question. 8) If you get a chance to work with each other again, do you still wish to act as a couple?

B: I really want to work with ZaiZai again, doesn't matter if we act as a couple, enemies, siblings, or mother and son...as long as I get to work with ZaiZai again, I would really look forward to it. Because there is a sychronization between us, so whenever we act together, the whole atmosphere would become really delightful. Also, since we are really familiar with each other, and personally, we're great friends, so working with him makes me really happy.

Z: That's right, because we both are really tacit, so I believe no matter how intimate our scenes will be, or even no limitation, we can surely make a breakthrough performance out of it.


(Question. 9) Do you think he/she wants to act as a couple with you again?

B: I think he surely will. Because he doesn't like to work with strangers, so he would feel more comfortable working with me. I believe he wishes to work with me again, so that he doesn't have to handle strangers.

Z: Mm! She would surely want to act as a couple with me, because I know her, and she really likes to act as my partner.
