Being the youngest filmmaker on the jury panel Zhu YiLong was worried that “because I’m so young I was worried I would not be experienced enough or hold the same level of professional maturity to match my fellow colleagues on the panel.” He confessed, but thankfully after contacting each of them he was relieved to find the open and friendly atmosphere and general energy of his fellow judges put him at ease (to treat him as a regular member of the team). “When I think about everyone needs to hear different voices and opinions, because there is no good or bad film in terms of standards to meet. The atmosphere was really good as I was treated as a simple ordinary equal, and not as the “youngest actor” here. It gave me the courage to express my thoughts and feelings after each film viewing and just take part in the debates and discussions.”

#ahhhh that’s so great #this was a really good opportunity and i’m glad it has helped him to gain confidence #to express himself. i’m very glad he had such a good experience :) #could’ve gone very different but thankfully it didn’t #i guess he met the right people :’))))) #i have no doubt he has learned much and is already thinking of how to apply newfound ideas and skills in future projects #it’s always great to see him gain confidence :) #he’s only going to soar to greater heights from here on out i just know it #zhu yilong

“Here, it’s my best coffee, you deserve it,” he said, pouring a bit of the beverage on the ground underneath the bush. “You are already doing great,” he added, feeling rather stupid.  Well, at least he tried.  *** The next day, the coffee-drinking azalea was a tad taller, Zhao Yunlan was willing to bet on it.

Long Ge saying Fei Xiang Laoshi was a helpful translator and “very gentlemanly, helpful, and eloquent. It’s thanks to Fei Xiang Laoshi for helping us to translate and communicate our thoughts and feelings about the films we have seen during our discussions sessions. Sometimes he would just observe, and other times when I didn’t understand he could come and translate over topics.”

#oh that’s very cute #i’m glad he made friends #that he had someone in his corner willing to help him :’) #fei-laoshi sound like a nice man :) #zhu yilong

“Zhu YiLong usually shows a mature calm side in the public eye, but in private he has a child-like nature. When he entered the interview room that day he saw there was no camera so Zhu YiLong comfortably put his feet up on the bars under the chair, and wrapped his arms around his knees, and curled himself up into a comfortable ball. He was just more relaxed when being interviewed when the cameras were off and he could just speak without overthinking things.”

(a/n author describes him as 孩子气 (haiziqi which mean literally “childish” though probably better phrase in English as child-like or young at heart (?) (or as I call him a certified smol bean in his natural habitat))

"Put it away! I am sorry: sorry you have come in for this burden; sorry about everything. Don’t adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on the story. Well, it can’t be helped. I wonder if it’s any good trying to finish my book? But don’t let’s worry about it now – let’s have some real News! Tell me all about the Shire!"

When Zhu YiLong turned 36 his Studio/Management team kept saying “you’re only 36 years old, Zhu YiLong, still so young and always measured and dignified.” To which Zhu YiLong replied: “Ha! Only 36 years old? I don’t even know how to be that age. I’ve always been working with team, a filming crew, shooting two dramas a year, then on to movies, and now suddenly I’m 36?! It feels too fast. I should be probably more mature now, haha, but I’m so use to just jumping around from project to project.”

#i don’t think anyone really knows how to be the age they are longge #and there also aren’t rules for it #just be yourself and do the things you like and you’ll be alright #and no 36 is not old at all sweetie you still have a lot of time ahead of you #to make great films and watch many others #just take your time. as you’ve been doing. there’s no rush #🥹🥹🥹 #zhu yilong

Zhu YiLong being a judge for the first time at the Tiantan Awards at the 14th Beijing International Film Festival saying candidly his first reaction was nervousness because: “I have never done anything like this before, I don’t know if I am qualified or what to do. They’re all unknowns to me. As a young actor I’m trying to figure out how to communicate or express myself in judging such things.” Zhu YiLong though being the youngest jury member is already a skilled film actor particularly since winning best actor at the Golden Rooster Awards in 2022 & debuting his first Un Certain Regard Award nominated Film Only The River Flows at Cannes Film Festival 2023.

After the process had began Zhu YiLong said: “I’m very focused on this work, devoted myself entirely to watching movies on the Campus. I’m thoroughly enjoying it very much.” ^^ How the judging process works: Zhu YiLong describes: “I start watching films after lunch - about 3-4 films a day - have dinner around 6pm and finish work around 9pm. I like to digest the films afterwards before recording points of interest, noting any problems or particulars and then I prepare a discussion speech for our group discussion. I do all this one day and then repeat for the next day with more films to watch!”

They asked doesn’t seeing that many films day by day make you tired of films? Zhu YiLong says “ all the films selected were very interesting, and all different in terms of genre, material selection, cinematography, and culture - there is great variety.”

Zhu YiLong revealed the judges main concern was whether to focus on creative expression of the film or how it engages and connects to the audience in ways of being entertaining and pleasing to view.

“You need to have a good balance and a fusion of both - to express yourself artistically whilst being entertaining and engaging for the audience. This way it will encourage the audience to go to the cinemas.”

The final meeting for the award takes place behind closed doors and lasts about 2 hours. This is where the judges give speeches on their findings and their preferred films, and finally it is put to a democratic vote. Each judge has their own tastes, at this moment Zhu YiLong likes more extreme works fused with heavy artistic expression and thought provoking genres. One highlight of this experience for Zhu YiLong was meeting filmmakers from across the globe and getting to experience films from all over the world. He enjoyed the experience but vows to continue making more films “I’m in the creative age of my life now, so my focus is on making films and works.”

Question to Long Ge: what defines a good actor in his perspective as one himself, his answer was: “vivid, natural, unified, and measured.” It is a question he has been pondering for years about himself - how to be a good actor? “This has always been the direction of my own efforts. To capture that vividness and the nature of the premise and how to fully integrate yourself into the film. How can you help the director through this character properly express what this film wants to express? Instead of just completely immersing yourself in your character, you add something of your own to the film to make it relevant.”

Zhu YiLong isn’t the type to express his thoughts and opinions publicly because he believes every actor and filmmaker has their own methods, standards, and individual ways of expression. Nobody is the same. There is no right or wrong answer. “I’m just striving to better myself, and at this moment in time these are my thoughts but they can change as time goes on.”

Now that authors have been revealed I can finally post about the fic I wrote for the Pangzi Birthday Exchange 2024!!! I wrote this for the wonderful @lungache <333

Title: mourning soup Rating: Gen Characters: Wang Pangzi, Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling

Summary:

The golden coffin water may have cured Wu Xie of his illness, but he's found that other hurts are more difficult to heal. His Pangzi too could use some of that water, to heal the hurts no one can see, the hurts he cannot speak about. They didn't bring any of the water back, of course, but in its absence Pangzi can still make soup. After all, that’s what he always does.
