Translation: 0:06 "Going on variety shows...How do I put it? In the past...everyone knows, maybe friends (think he means 'fans', he doesn't want use the word 'fans' though, he calls fans 'friends') who have known me for a longer time may know that in the past, I was on some variety shows. I appeared on Happy Camp, and the variety shows that were popular in those days, and also some smaller variety shows, and those reality TV shows and went places with some big stars and experience various things. But I...honestly, I'm not really suited to these, you know, I'm not suited to these. What am I more suited to? I'm more suited to the life now. When there are shows, I'll film them, and if there are no shows, I'll rest. 0:49 I don't know if it's because I've grown older, but I'm not into it, into these variety shows. If you think about it, right now there are a lot of popular variety shows about a group of friends in the entertainment industry in playing games together happily. I'm not suited to it because I don't like really like socialising. 1:13: I mean, I don't really like socialising in the entertainment industry, if you know what I mean. In the past, when I was filming with various different groups (of actors), people would tell me, "Hongyi, if you're on a set, try to hang out with your actor friends. If you're free, take a few more photographs with them, etc." But I felt that you're asking me to do all this, as if it's to deliberately get eyeballs/views...right? 1:42 There are some things I just don't understand. Like certain concepts. When you're with a certain actor on the same set, that's OK. If they're more popular, that's OK. If they've more resources, that's good. But does that mean you should go and try to ride on their popularity? Will their fans suddenly turn around and support you? That won't happen at all, right? 2:03 So for variety shows, etc, before this, I also considered and always planned that if I had to film dramas everyday, that was fine. Let's say I start work in March and film all the way through to the next year, Lunar New Year, around February or March, I'll film until then. Then around March or April, it gets hotter, right, so around April to August, I won't take on any dramas, and I'll do some variety shows, or try out this field of work. But there are two difficulties with that. First, the staff's work requirements don't allow that. The staff working with me are family people, so they have to go home over Lunar New Year. The second is, like I said earlier, I'm not really into these variety shows. I'm not very good at socialising.
