Interview with Yang Zi: 12 years later, it is difficult to accept Song Dandan’s long white hair

  China News Service, Beijing, December 12 (reporter, Zhang Xi) For a moment, Yang Zi thought she was still filming "Family with Children", looking at Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Zhang Yishan, and You Haoran around her, as if she had returned to the set 12 years ago, without any unfamiliarity.

  In fact, it was the first time the five had worked together in 12 years on the micro-film "17 Brings Home Music." In the film, the "eldest son" Zhang Yishan became a police detective; the "daughter" Yang Zi became a female white-collar worker; and the "younger brother" You Haoran went to college. It was a very happy ending for fans of "Family with Children."

  Recently, Yang Zi was interviewed by a reporter from China News Service (WeChat official account: cns2012). As a member of China’s most talked-about "screen family", she revealed for the first time some interesting past events during the filming of that year.

  The past –

  I used to fight on the set

  In 2004, "Family with Children" officially began filming. Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were only 12 years old at the time, and You Haoran was only 8 years old. Neither of them expected that because of the popularity of the show, they would be closely connected with each other.

  "In the past, when the three of us were together, You Haoran was the noisiest, then Zhang Yishan, and finally me." Yang Zi recalled happily that because her "Xiaoxue" was helping her parents watch her two younger brothers in the play, it was quite stable.

  Yang Zixiao said that the three of them often quarreled over food, "For example, there are props for peaches or durians placed there, and when we are not filming, we all stare at it to see who fights for that peach first." She also revealed that the youngest, You Haoran, even released a "big trick", "He was very disgusting. He was afraid that we would take that peach, so he took it out and licked it all first, and then said that if I licked it, you would not be able to take it. At that time, I would be very angry and would quarrel because of this kind of thing, which was very funny."

  Reunion.

  It feels like I’m filming with my family

  This reunion took a total of two days to shoot the micro-movie "17 Music to Bring Home". In Yang Zi’s opinion, it is not so much work as a family reunion.

  "I remember that it was 12 am the next day. It stands to reason that I was very tired, but I felt very happy. It would be fine to shoot for a while.

  Although it was the first time they had worked together after 12 years, Yang Zi felt that everyone’s tacit understanding was still there. "It’s like a family.

  Twelve years ago, when filming "Family with Children," Yang Zi often laughed, and this time was no exception, but the feeling was different. "At that time, because the script was funny, now I have a feeling of filming with my family, and I can’t stand it when I look at each other, and I can’t control it."

  Change.

  You Haoran grew taller from a little brother

  Reunited 12 years later, Yang Zi bluntly said that You Haoran had changed the most, "He was only 8 years old when he was a child, but now he has grown so big, much taller than me, and has a beard. In my impression, he will always be our little brother."

  When it comes to everyone’s changes, Yang Zi sighs deeply, she was the quietest in the crew at the beginning, but now she is the most noisy. "I have been arguing with them at the scene, Zhang Yishan said’calm down ‘, You Haoran said’go to Zhang Yishan’s place to play’, why did it change like this? Haha."

  However, during the filming of "17 Brings Home Music", Yang Zi also had a trance feeling, "At the end of the filming, everyone had a sentence, but I didn’t think they were reading the lines anymore. I wanted to cry so much that I endured it all the time, because I felt that when we grew up, I looked at Aunt Dandan and Uncle Yalin again. They are old and have white hair, so they feel very unacceptable."

  Off-screen.

  Song Dandan loves to send voice

  Although they worked together again after 12 years, the five people had a very good relationship in private during the past 12 years, and they also established a WeChat group called "Family Who Love Each Other". The most active in the group was Song Dandan.

  "Auntie Dandan loves to talk about voice, and when she talks about her specialties, you have to listen to it all the time, but we children usually like to type text." Yang Zi complained that once Song Dandan sent many 60-second voice messages in a row, and every time I didn’t finish listening, there was a call, "I wanted to smash my phone at that time, haha."

  When it comes to the interesting things in the group, Yang Zi is also overjoyed. She confessed that she loves to send emojis, not only her own ugly photos, but also Zhang Yishan’s, "There is an emojis like this, all kinds of staring at you, with the words’I am not sleepy ‘written on it."

  CP —

  And Zhang Yishan maintain each other

  From the day "Family with Children" aired, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were regarded as "screen CP".

  This year, Zhang Yishan starred in "Remaining Sins", which was a hit. Although the outside world believes that he has changed from a boy to a pure man in Beijing, Yang Zi said: "Because we are very familiar and grew up with each other, he is a very atmospheric Beijing boy in my eyes."

  Although many netizens hope that Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan can become a couple, in fact, the two are just good buddies. Although they always hurt each other, as long as Yang Zi encounters difficulties, Zhang Yishan will stand up for protection as soon as possible; if someone scolds Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi will also stand up.

  "Sometimes I feel down. Zhang Yishan won’t ask what’s wrong like others. He will wait for things to pass slowly and send me a WeChat message saying that you are okay, are you okay. I think it is very warm, a kind of relationship between friends."

  Yang Zi made no secret of her desire to work with Zhang Yishan again, "Everyone always says they want us to film together, and I don’t think we should be sorry for the audience to shoot a movie at random. If the movie is particularly bad, everyone will be disappointed. I hope there will be an opportunity, a good moment, a good script for us, and we may choose to shoot."
