Hello to the iQiyi audience. I'm Han Geng.
That moment of complete darkness before dawn is 寒更.
There is always some dissatisfaction in everyone's heart.
I just want to sing my songs and prove that I can do music.
by Han Geng---Han Geng's Attitude
A handsome outfit with a head of silver hair,
plus an impeccable dance routine,
as soon as Han Geng steps on stage,
the fans started cheering.
In these past two years,
from until ,
to him,
what's changed is not only his style and music,
but also his attitude.
There's a lot of things in there that is aimed at singing out my attitude.
The original meaning of 寒更 is that moment of complete darkness before dawn.
That moment is called 寒更,
when you can't quite see the dawn yet,
but you're just about to break through the darkness.
So it's also talking about how everyone has a place of darkness,
but also everyone has their own way of thinking,
plus their own dream, that beam of light.
It's a hope that
everyone won't easily compromise on anything.
Work hard to fight the demons for that light,
and give yourself a chance for change.
It's that type of feeling.
There's some dissatisfaction in everyone's heart.
It might be some complaint against the present,
The things we compromise on,
we won't talk about.
So everyone still just need to be themselves.
Some things that are unjust
some things that you're not satisfied with,
just let it all out.
Just say that it's not right.
From his long battle to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment,
to his frustration at being nicknamed "Ba Lu Men*,"
As a super popular idol,
Han Geng can't escape the negativity that comes with the popularity.
In response to this,
perhaps he can only borrow music's voice
and sing it loudly.
Myself, my music
is to sing out myself.
To sing out my attitude.
With the first album,
it was more of getting every musical style
and putting it all inside,
to prove me,
to prove myself,
that I can do it musically,
as evidence for everyone to see.
Like in ,
singing "International" and all that,
I feel like that was full of ambition.
So with this album,
that type of stuff might be less apparent.
I want to sing out my attitude.
Music+Movie---Help from Friends
With a wide fan base spread across Asia,
Han Geng is also popular in the entertainment circle.
Not only did good friend He Jiong* agree to act as MC for Han Geng's album release event,
even famous magician Lu Chen came to celebrate.
Having known each other for many years,
plus their first time on the big screen
were both given to the movie .
This time, for Han Geng's world tour,
Lu Chen has also been been invited to help out behind the scenes.
For now, I've been focused on preparing for the concert
because it's getting closer and closer.
For the concert,
there'll be more visual effects
such as with the lighting and the stage
or with the costumes,
there will be a more powerful
since we'll also have some high tech stuff.
There will also be some more fantastical themes,
so I've invited Lu Chen.
to help me out with the concert.
It will definitely make your jaw drop.
Lu Chen: This time, I will not be performing on stage.
This time,
we've actually discussed this at length,
so we're going to add some
some surprises that's never been seen before.
With the new album
plus the concert to look forward to,
besides music,
Han Geng has also had help in his journey to the big screen.
For Vicki Zhao's first directoral work,
she hand picked Han Geng as the first "Wei Nan Lang*."
Working with her,
I feel like I've learned quite a lot.
Because this is only the second movie that I've starred in,
so I'm still in the learning stage.
So I can learn more things
and travel more smoothly along the acting road.
So when I'm working with her,
with things like the inner dialogue of a character,
I feel like I've learned a lot.
According to media reports,
the first-time director Vicki Zhao
has worked Han Geng quite hard.
A scene through the market
caused Han Geng to sustain injuries,
paying a price of blood.
She's quite strict I feel.
To every shot,
and every character,
how you portray them,
the details of the matter,
towards these things,
I feel she's quite thorough.
Towards the actors performances,
I feel she's pretty tough on these things.
She has high expectations.
She'll talk with you first
about the script
and about this particular scene.
But after you've acted out, she doesn't feel it's quite right
because of this or that
or what this character is going through inside
or what kind of things has this character experienced before,
and how does that influence his attitude in the present.
She'll explain all of that very clearly
and ask you to act it out again,
to experience that character once again.
---An Artistic Youth
If we say that the Han Geng on stage is always dynamic and fashionable,
then the Han Geng on screen is continually changing.
last year allowed us to see one of Han Geng's different sides.
The action scenes and Chinese opera scenes of the movie
also allowed him to have fun.
Right. Especially for the Beijing opera,
I did a lot of homework.
I had a lot of fun.
It was different.
I think the hardest action scene
was with Yu Rongguang.
We filmed it with "Shuai Ge*."
That was the hardest
Because, originally,
it was just on the area of a stage.
It was a small area,
and we had to do a lot of things.
We were also fully decked out in Beijing opera costumes.
So it was a bit *** us.
I felt the other actions scenes were quite fun.
In contrast with the old Shanghai feel of ,
in ,
Han Geng transformed to the sunny Lin Jing,
with much more inner dialogue.
This movie is very touching.
When I saw the end,
when I read the end of the script,
I cried.
I feel like this childhood
was filled with memories.
It was a very beautiful youth.
Everyone has something like it.
I would use some of the things I experienced before
and add it to this film.
I would remember a lot.
There's a lot of inner dialogues.
Because, in the beginning,
he experiences some things.
How he responds and handles these events,
as in his attitude towards each event,
is different in each case.
The age range I'm covering is also quite big,
from the 20s into the 30s.
In the end, I become a police officer.
In the future, in his attitude towards society,
towards his surroundings,
towards all the people and things around him,
he might be very indifferent.
He might also by sly and ridicule everything around him.
When talking about music and film,
Han Geng always has endless things to say.
When talking about himself,
he reverts back to the Han Geng with few words.
The people who like Han Geng always has millions of reasons.
What is your reason?
