Narrator: Recently Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng attended a certain event in Beijing,
the "FengMi" romance, after enduring various wishful hoping and all kinds of speculation,
in the end came to a conclusion of "just friends" status.
Yet currently they once again appear as a sweet "onscreen couple" at the event.
The two as always seem very matching and suitable together.
Host: I hope the two of you, find true love, alright?
En...do you have anything you want to say to Yang Mi?
Narrator: On the day, Yang Mi wore a white dress that appeared very similar to a wedding dress.
The romantic occurrences that took place at the event also made many people
feel like they once again saw the sweet and romantic onscreen scenes of the two from the past.
Reporter: Do you have the feeling of really getting married?
FSF: Actually in filming we have already "gotten married" many times...
that is...I think this is quite meaningful,
the two of us, as such familiar old costars, "onscreen couple",
today appearing at this event I think it is...very happy!
Narrator: This little-seen onscreen couple, after the "FengMi pairing" became extremely popular,
"ji liu yong tui" [=retreated at the height of their popularity] and henceforth seldom appeared publicly together,
in regards to this, the pair gave the following response:
Reporter: It seems like the two of you haven't appeared together in a very long time?!
YM: Indeed it is the case. FSF: Yes, we haven't seen each other in so long.
YM: En. Reporter: Why is that?
FSF: Because we're both so busy.
YM: Both busy with each of our own projects. FSF: Right.
Narrator: Indeed, after the FengMi pairing went their own ways, the two have been insanely busy...
Narrator: Displays of "love/affection" between onscreen couples,
in the entertainment industry this is nothing new.
However, being able to get this "sweet/intimate" feeling to such a degree as Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi,
really makes one imagine/speculate to no end!
Host: You know what--when you two first came out you really scared us,
because today this--Yang Mi is wearing a little wedding dress...
Shaofeng is wearing a formal suit,
really being very generous today, appearing together at the same event!
This is very rare for you two, right?
YM: The first time. Host: First time?! Wow...let's give some loud applause!
Reporter: Feng Shaofeng, seeing Yang Mi in a wedding dress do you think she's pretty?
YM: *Wedding dress??!*
FSF: She has always, all along, been very pretty! YM: *laughs* Thank you!
YM: Actually I think this is the first time that we together...
FSF: Right. YM: ...appeared together at a commercial event.
This should be the first time. And this time it happens to be a...
uh, something that is like, something like this--that is, quite close/intimate,
because--even though the two of us have gotten married lots of times while filming.
[With the host's encouragement FSF pretends to ask YM what she's missing.]
Narrator: Since they have to openly display their affection, then let this scene be played out to its utmost!
Under the close questioning/scrutiny of Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng right then and there pulled out a huge diamond ring,
we'll count this as a "confession of feelings" in front of everyone!
FSF: Let me take a look...
[FSF plays along with the host's suggestion that YM is "missing something"]
YM: Did you get a good look? FSF: ...missing a...
FSF: Missing a ring!
Host: Everyone give up a cheer (tease them a bit), alright?
Give out some shouts! One, two, three...
Host: Come, open it up...wow, give everyone a look, come on...
It's huge!!!
Host: A "kiss on the fingertip"...representing true love...whoo!!!
Host: So great/wonderful...thank you...
YM: To tell the truth...this really is the very first time that I received a diamond ring from a guy.
Narrator: Even though the gift of the diamond ring is only "borrowed" from the company [i.e. the scene was merely scripted]
but Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng are indeed extremely good friends.
No matter if it's during filming or outside of filming, big matters or trivial matters,
neither of them treats the other as an "outsider",
to the point where every little action, both their words and mannerisms,
always give off the feeling of sweetness/affection.
[Reporter asks if FSF gave tickets to Yang Mi to let her watch his newly released movie "White Vengeance"]
YM: He's making me buy my own ticket!
FSF: Yes...she... Reporter: HUH???
FSF: She...not only is she buying her own ticket but she said she is inviting all the people around her to see it too...is that right?
YM: Of course I will!
Reporter: Didn't you give tickets to both Director [??] and Mr. [??],
how come on the contrary for such a good friend you don't give her tickets??
YM: Perhaps he sees me as one of "his own people", I guess.
Narrator: The words "his own people", Feng Shaofeng hearing it must feel quite happy.
Even though Yang Mi, who has the nickname "little pepper" [due to her feisty/mischievous nature?]
often "bullies"/teases the polite/genteel Feng Shaofeng on set,
but in real life, the two are extremely considerate and thoughtful towards each other,
practically used all her effort/energy to help her good friend with promoting/advertising [his movie]
YM: To be honest, because "White Vengeance" has just been released for 1 day, and I haven't had time to watch it yet.
But--because when he was filming "White Vengeance" to tell the truth we often saw each other
because at the time we were also both filming the same drama,
but--during that time, he all along was working very hard to prepare for the movie,
and telling me stories of things that went on/the situation on set of "White Vengeance",
I felt that he was very immersed in his role/filming and was also very serious/earnest,
so even though I haven't seen it yet but I will for sure go see it,
and in addition, I hope everyone will give lots of support to Shaofeng's "White Vengeance"!
Narrator: A "couple" onscreen, "zhi ji" in real life [=extremely close friends that completely know one another/confidantes/etc]
perhaps this is the best way to describe Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng right now.
Narrator: "Onscreen couple" Feng Shao Feng and Yang Mi
on Nov. 30th appeared together at the promo event of a certain jewellery company.
Because the two often appear on the screen as a couple,
due to this the rumours regarding the pair have never stopped.
However, on the day of the event, the two seemed to ignore all the rumours surrounding them,
and even changed into a wedding dress/suit to make their appearance, causing a huge commotion.
Reporter: Feng Shaofeng, seeing Yang Mi in a wedding dress do you think she's pretty?
YM: *Wedding dress??!*
FSF: She has always, all along, been very pretty! YM: *laughs* Thank you!
Reporter: So today--you guys have always appeared as an onscreen couple,
and today also--also came together for this jewellery promo event, so, how do you guys feel?
[In the background: "Lower, lower, everyone lower!"; referring to the microphones that the reporters have stuck right in YM's face!]
FSF: Uh...
Reporter: Do you have the feeling of really getting married?
FSF: Actually in filming we have already "gotten married" many times...
that is...I think this is quite meaningful,
the two of us, as such familiar old costars, "onscreen couple",
today appearing at this event I think it is...very happy!
YM: Actually I think this is the first time that we together...
FSF: Right. YM: ...appeared together at a commercial event.
This should be the first time. And this time it happens to be a...
uh, something that is like, something like this--that is, quite close/intimate,
because--even though the two of us have gotten married lots of times while filming.
Reporter: So putting on a wedding dress, do you have the urge to hurry up and get married?
YM: I'm good, I'm not in a rush! [to get married] En...
[Reporter asks if FSF gave tickets to Yang Mi to let her watch his newly released movie "White Vengeance"]
YM: He's making me buy my own ticket!
FSF: Yes...she... Reporter: HUH???
FSF: She...not only is she buying her own ticket but she said she is inviting all the people around her to see it too...
FSF: ...is that right? ...Yes. YM: Of course I will!
Reporter: Didn't you give tickets to both Director [??] and Mr. [??],
how come on the contrary for such a good friend you don't give her tickets??
YM: Perhaps he sees me as one of "his own people", I guess.
FSF: Uhh...actually that showing, I didn't call any actors...any actors to come,
because I think maybe it won't--it might not be as convenient for actors, mainly...
So I...Yang Mi, I think perhaps we will individually--or...
with a few good friends, go see it together I guess.
[Reporter asks about the rumours that Yang Mi will perform at the annual CCTV Chinese New Year festival]
YM: To be honest, I only knew of this by reading the news on the internet!
To be honest, I myself don't know. Because maybe--because,
also there won't be any important directors directly contacting me personally.
So as for this matter I myself am not too clear, en.
Reporter: So if there *was* a performance, what kind or type of performance would it be?
YM: I'm sorry, I truly--in regards to news about the Chinese New Year festival,
I truly don't know how to respond, because I also don't know where this news came from.
YM: To be honest, because "White Vengeance" has just been released for 1 day, and I haven't had time to watch it yet.
But--because when he was filming "White Vengeance" to tell the truth we often saw each other
because at the time we were also both filming the same drama,
but--during that time, he all along was working very hard to prepare for the movie,
and telling me stories of things that went on/the situation on set of "White Vengeance",
I felt that he was very immersed in his role/filming and was also very serious/earnest,
so even though I haven't seen it yet but I will for sure go see it,
and in addition, I hope everyone will give lots of support to Shaofeng's "White Vengeance"!
Reporter: Did you especially give him any kind of encouragement?
YM: He is quite confident, in this aspect,
so he won't really need too much encouragement from me, I think...en...
Host: Welcome to both of you! Hello!
Shaofeng...Yang Mi...
Wow...let's give up some loud applause!
You know what--when you two first came out you really scared us,
because Yang Mi is wearing a little wedding dress, Shaofeng is wearing a formal suit!
How about you guys give everyone a greeting first, alright?
Especially...Shaofeng is currently starring in the movie "White Vengeance",
it just started to be released in theatres, we'll have to ask everyone also to go support it lots!
Shaofeng why don't you go first?
FSF: Hello to everyone in the audience and all the friends here...
Hello everyone, I am Feng Shaofeng, I am very happy to come here today--
come here today to attend this promo event for "I Do",
recently my movie "White Vengeance" has been released to theatres,
I hope everyone will go support it lots, hope you all enjoy watching it!
Reporter: Shaofeng please stand forward a bit, there is no light there, please come forward a bit..
Host: Step forward, come to the best spot... Reporter: Good, good good...
Host: Come, Yang Mi, go ahead...
YM: En...good evening everybody, I am Yang Mi.
So...today I am very happy, to come to "I Do"'s event,
especially since it is together with my old buddy/costar,
Feng Shaofeng, who I haven't seen in a long time,
and...umm, thank you to "I Do", for giving us this
"jiu wei chong feng" opportunity [="opportunity for us to see each other again after so long apart"]
Host: Hearing this sounds just like a "reunion over the bridge of magpies", huh! [see note #1]
FSF: Actually me and her, we really haven't seen each other in a very long time... [can't make out what FSF says to YM]
Host: Really?? So that's why, the moment he came in [backstage],
Shaofeng didn't have anyone else in his eyes, he went over,
and, immediately rushed over to Yang Mi to greet her!
And, I heard that the two of you--today "I Do" really is quite impressive,
uh, the two of you really "gave them face" [="were very generous"],
appearing together at the same event! This is very rare for you two, right?
YM: The first time. Host: First time?! Wow...let's give some loud applause!
Host: It's really very..."The power of love, allows us to be together."
Hey, the two of you have acted as a couple how many times? Have you counted?
YM: Five times I think...five or six times.
Host (to FSF): How about you? FSF: Six times I think.
Host: Right. The two of them, in the hearts/minds of many people,
everyone very very much hopes that these two will become a *real* couple.
Uh...to the point where they've probably become sick of being asked that question.
But this is the personal choice of the two of them, we have no power to intervene,
But you know, people are just this way,
when we see two people, who are so matching with each other,
we just think, "Ahhh..."
Right?? You guys understand what I'm trying to say?
Host: Here I'll help you hold this...
Let's use our applause to invite Shaofeng, to place this on Yang Mi's finger for her...
A "kiss on the fingertip"...representing true love...whoo!!!
[Reporters in background are yelling at them to look in their direction.]
Host: So great/wonderful...thank you...yes...
Host: Yang Mi, tell us how you feel right now.
YM: (a bit dazedly) Thank you... *laughs*
Host: Bring it up, let them see...
now it's a complete set [along with the other "I Do" jewellery she's wearing], let them take some photos.
Host: Do you feel a bit light-headed/dizzy/giddy? I'm not talking about the expensiveness/cost...
YM: To tell the truth...this really is the very first time that I received a diamond ring from a guy.
Host: [first part cut off] ...will have to do some reflection/thinking, right.
In the past what kinds of things have you received?
YM: No nothing, really very rare to--that is, never received a *ring* as a gift.
Actually Shaofeng is usually very much a gentleman...he will buy gifts for all his friends,
including the people in the crew as well.
And Shaofeng has also, in the past, given me other gifts, but never a...
well of course, even though today this is just for the event.
Host: Well this is a good start, right!
Host: [first part cut off] ...a partner in real life. I think all this is not something
that everyone's will/hoping can change. But I do hope the two of you...
can both find...true love. Alright?
Host: Do you have anything to say to Yang Mi? About finding her true love?
FSF: She says she's going to marry herself off before she turns 30!
Host: Do you still have that kind of thought now?
YM: Aspire/aim for it, en... FSF (seems to repeat): Will aspire/aim for it...
Host: Right... YM: This--is this--just this--is that what you want to say??
FSF: Well I definitely don't have the chance anymore! Because I am already over 30 years old!
Host: Okay, thank you, thank you...
Narrator: We have the wedding dress, we have the ceremony...the first time FengMi appear for a promo event together
and they end up being arranged to do a proper wedding!
Can't help but admire the ability of these organizers to generate talk/news.
And the two stars of this event were also extremely accomodating--
when Yang Mi showed everyone the earrings and bracelet she was given,
the attentive/considerate Feng Shaofeng then brought out a wedding ring exactly at the right moment.
Host: Let's use our applause to invite Shaofeng, to place this on Yang Mi's finger for her...
A "kiss on the fingertip"...representing true love...whoo!!!
FSF: During filming there have already been many of this type of scenes.
Host: Oh really?? FSF: Yes, yes yes...
Host: But the two of you doing scenes while filming certainly wouldn't be this--lovely...right!
FSF: Right...So I think today, coming here...inviting the two of us here,
to this event, I think it is a really happy thing!
