Hands down to the whole cast/staff of #GuardiansOfTheDafeng. The storyline is strong, making me laugh so hard on the first few episodes but overwhelmed me with so much emotions at the end. Now I'm desperate for 2nd season!

Wang Hedi: A Life Without Spoilers
From spring through to summer, actor Wang Hedi has been filming Empress Reborn in Hengdian. Adapted from the well-known historical romance novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of the Military Lineage, the drama has drawn widespread attention ever since it entered production.
Wang Hedi stars as the male lead, Xie Jingxing, a character who appears rebellious, unruly and carefree on the surface, yet beneath that façade is a master strategist, calculating, farsighted and always several steps ahead.
The coexistence of anticipation and pressure is not a challenge unfamiliar to Wang Hedi.
From his very first role as Daoming Si in Meteor Garden, he has spent the past nine years moving forward beneath the glare of the spotlight. He says the film set has long since become part of his everyday life.
Now, as summer returns once more, ELLE meets him again. He is just as bright, open and engaging as before. Speaking of life, he says simply: it is his to live. As long as he stays healthy and continues doing what he loves, that is enough.
Giving It 120 Percent
With Empress Reborn now more than halfway through filming, the scenes that left the deepest impression on Wang Hedi were the battlefield sequences shot in Gansu.
To faithfully recreate the sweeping scale of ancient warfare, the production travelled to the Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Area in Baiyin. Against the vast grandeur of the desert, Wang Hedi donned armour and fought valiantly through simulated wind and snow.
In an age before firearms, horses and spears were indispensable companions on the battlefield. But riding at full gallop while wielding a spear was an entirely new experience for him.
"In the past, when filming xianxia dramas, I spent much more time on wires. I'd never experienced this kind of large-scale action scenes from this sort of grounded historical drama before."
After seven days of filming, he summed it up with a smile:
"It was an absolute thrill."
Part of the challenge lay in horseback riding. Before joining the production, Wang Hedi had not ridden for quite some time.
"Riding a horse is a bit like driving a car. If you don't do it for a long time, you kind of lose your touch."
The only remedy was practice. Whenever filming wrapped early, he would head to the production's stables to train. But a horse is a living creature, not a machine, and once filming began, it inevitably had a mind of its own.
"Sometimes there are people or cameras in front of it, and it'll get frightened. It gets tired too."
On one occasion, after a full day's shooting, Wang Hedi was still able to carry on, but the horse was completely exhausted and simply fell asleep on set.
Beyond working in harmony with the horse, he also had to stay constantly aware of the camera's movements while maintaining his performance. He likens the experience to walking a tightrope: remaining conscious of everything unfolding around him while keeping his mind utterly focused and undistracted.
"So it's a very comprehensive challenge."
Even before accepting the role of Xie Jingxing, Wang Hedi knew it would not be an easy character to portray. Before filming began, he deliberately prepared himself mentally.
"I kept encouraging myself, telling myself to approach it with 120 percent commitment."
To make the character of Xie Jingxing feel more vividly alive, Wang Hedi devised a number of signature habits for the character. When deep in thought, he would absent-mindedly turn the ring on his thumb. He also drew inspiration from his fellow actors' dialogue, finding opportunities to enrich the performance with subtle details, such as sitting slightly sideways or unconsciously reaching for his teacup.
"I wouldn't say I'm a particularly accomplished actor yet, but I have certainly built up some experience."
Wang Hedi did not come from a traditional acting background. He graduated from Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation. Had he not become an actor, he might well have been working as a cabin crew member today, much like many of his former classmates, whose social media feeds are filled with snapshots of early-morning flights, location check-ins from different cities, days spent operating four flights in succession, and duty rosters packed from top to bottom.
Or perhaps he would have been selling fried skewers instead.
Wang Hedi is from Leshan, Sichuan, where fried skewers are the city's signature street food. His family runs a shop, and it was something he grew up eating from childhood.
A chance opportunity led Wang Hedi into the entertainment industry. In 2016, he entered a talent competition and was crowned the inaugural annual champion of the Sichuan Campus Celebrity Festival. The following year, he competed in the reality programme Super Idol. After winning the overall title, he officially made his debut, and soon afterwards came his very first role: Daoming Si.
Meteor Garden was an iconic idol drama familiar to virtually everyone, and Daoming Si's domineering yet pure-hearted nature had long been etched into audiences' memories. Standing before the camera for the first time, Wang Hedi was immensely nervous.
Beyond the director and his fellow actors stood the cinematographers, lighting crew, make-up artists and the rest of the production team. The moment "action!" was called, every eye on set converged on him.
"When everyone's attention is on you, you naturally become self-conscious. That's simply basic human instinct. As an actor, your job is to overcome that instinct, to free yourself from those inhibitions and then simply do the work."
Carrying a Character's Mindset Into Life
Once Wang Hedi realised that acting was what he truly loved, watching the number of completed scenes steadily grow brought him an innate sense of fulfilment. From that point on, continuing along this path came naturally.
Along the way, he encountered an ever-expanding gallery of compelling characters. In Love Between Fairy and Devil, he portrayed the aloof, proud and commanding Dongfang Qingcang. In Guardians of the Dafeng, he became the exceptionally quick-witted, upright and humorous Xu Qi'an. Most recently, in the crime thriller Light to the Night, he transformed into the courageous and resourceful criminal investigator Ran Fangxu.
For a time, these characters became one with Wang Hedi, only to leave him when filming came to an end. Yet much of their character remained with him. On the surface, it was Wang Hedi who gave them life. On a deeper, spiritual level, however, they, in turn, shaped the person he became.
"I absorb something from every role. I carry their way of thinking with me into my own life."
Last year, Wang Hedi played Song Qianji in Live Long and Prosper. The character possessed an easygoing outlook, encapsulated in the line, "Rather than pursuing immortality, I'd rather grow potatoes." Even more than seven months after filming wrapped, that philosophy of embracing simplicity continues to stay with Wang Hedi.
"That quiet sense of ease he carried has been incredibly healing for me."
Moving between historical and contemporary dramas, Wang Hedi has gradually developed his own approach to acting. In historical dramas, emotions can be expressed more openly and with greater dramatic flourish. In slice-of-life modern productions, however, the finer details need to be embedded naturally within everyday behaviour.
Characters like Ran Fangxu, whose journey spans a long arc of growth, require both continuity and carefully calibrated change. When portraying the younger Ran Fangxu, Wang Hedi made his movements and expressions more lively and animated. As the character matured, he deliberately reduced his physical gestures, allowing the performance to become more restrained.
Years of moving almost nonstop from one production to the next have made Wang Hedi accustomed to the constant presence of the camera. Standing in for the audience's gaze, it watches him and urges him onward. To him, the camera has become a companion he works with every day.
"The relationship between a racing driver and their car is a very close one. It's the same between me and the camera. It's become as much a part of my life as the everyday essentials."
Before the lens, he has grown increasingly at ease. The instinctive trace of nervousness that once accompanied him is no longer an obstacle, but something he has learned to turn to his advantage.
"When it's time for a close-up, I'll draw one more breath and sharpen my focus. I also think about what the director and cinematographer are seeing, reflecting on my performance through their feedback."
There are no shortcuts to acting. The only thing Wang Hedi believes he can do is devote himself to it with even greater focus.
"There are no shortcuts in acting. All I can do is stay more focused. If I give 120 percent in a wide shot, then even if I pull it back by 20 percent for a close-up, I'm still left with 100 percent, and that's a good thing. For example, when filming a movie with a lot of dialogue, I'll memorise my lines until they become muscle memory. Then, when it's time to deliver them, I can free myself from other pressures and distractions."
There are still many roles Wang Hedi hopes to take on. As for who they will be, and how he will bring them to life, that is something only opportunity and time can reveal.
The future stretches far ahead. What Wang Hedi wants to live is a life that has never been spoiled.
Q&A: A sense of freedom and exhilaration
ELLE: This interview is for the July issue. Could you tell us about your memories of summer?
Wang Hedi: My childhood summers were all spent in Leshan, so when I think of summer, I think of concrete basketball courts, shaved ice from the neighbourhood, and everyone sitting under the shade of the trees eating fried skewers. The shaved ice came in all kinds of fruit flavours, but I always liked mine with brown sugar. As for fried skewers, I especially loved beef and sliced potatoes. Back then I wasn't very good with spicy food. When I was even younger, I couldn't eat chilli at all, so whenever my family cooked, they'd make a separate non-spicy portion just for me. If any chilli got onto my skewers, I couldn't eat them at all.
ELLE: That sounds like a quintessential Sichuan childhood summer. Have you ever experienced going straight from winter into summer?
Wang Hedi: At the beginning of the year, when my schedule was especially full, I'd be in a freezing place one moment and flying to a tropical beach the next. Hengdian has gradually been getting warmer recently too. It finally feels like summer. It's been raining these past couple of days. After the rain, the air is damp and humid, and I actually find it quite pleasant.
ELLE: How many summers have you spent filming in Hengdian?
Wang Hedi: Three or four. They're quite unforgettable. Every summer in Hengdian, I'm wearing a wig and layers of period costume. When I take the costume off, I can literally wring a puddle of sweat out of the tank top underneath. The studios are stifling, and outdoor locations are scorching. The heat is something everyone has to deal with. There's a funny sight you see all the time: the moment the director calls "Cut!", every actor instinctively reaches for a handheld fan and starts fanning themselves.
ELLE: Besides the hardship, are there any happy memories of spending summer in Hengdian?
Wang Hedi: Just because it's tough doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. The two aren't at odds with one another. When we're creating together, chatting and joking around, we're still able to enjoy ourselves.
Something funny that comes to mind is a water gun fight. When I was filming I Dreamed a Dream with director Wei Shujun, we were scouting locations by the seaside and ended up having a full-on water battle. The cast against the directing team. I bought a pretty expensive water gun that looked really impressive, but it turned out a water gun was no match for a plain basin. The other side just came charging over carrying basins and splashing water. After I emptied my water gun, I still had to refill it before I had any "ammunition" again, so it took much longer.
ELLE: When you're looking to escape the summer heat, do you prefer the mountains or the seaside?
Wang Hedi: I'd lean towards an island. It feels freer, more exhilarating.
ELLE: If we went back to 2016, before you entered the talent competition, what do you think your life would look like in a parallel world?
Wang Hedi: If I hadn't entered the industry, my daily life would probably look just like what my classmates post on their social media. Or I'd be selling beef and potato fried skewers.
ELLE: Can you still make fried skewers now? How do you judge when they're done?
Wang Hedi: It really comes down to feel. Timing and heat are everything. Just two or three seconds can completely change the flavour. That's something you only learn through experience. Beef should be cooked a little more gently. After about 15 or 20 seconds, it needs to come out. Leave it any longer and it becomes too tough to chew. Pork belly is different. The fatty pieces need to be fried a little longer, otherwise they're too greasy. You want them crisp and golden without becoming burnt.
In my family, we have our own fried skewer rankings. Personally, I don't think my cousin's are as good as my aunt's.
ELLE: It sounds as though that sense of getting the balance right is something acting and cooking have in common. The theme of this shoot is 2046, where your future self comes back to find the present you. Looking ahead, what do you hope the 2046 version of yourself will be like?
Wang Hedi: I hope he's living a healthy life, still playing basketball, still keeping active, and still getting to play the roles he loves.
ELLE: Imagine the 2046 version of you meeting the present-day you. What do you think the two of you would talk about?
Wang Hedi: We'd definitely be curious about each other. But apart from making small talk, it's probably best that he doesn't tell me anything. He shouldn't influence the way I think at this point in my life or change this version of the universe. I'd rather live my own life for myself.

Experiment One: Reflection.
He stands before an enormous mirror. The reflection trails his movements by 0.3 seconds. He begins to wonder: perhaps it isn't the mirror that's delayed, but that he himself is living in the past.
Then he stops moving.
The figure in the mirror raises its hand."

Experiment Two: The Wave-Particle Duality of Light.
A single photon passes through a double slit, and an interference pattern emerges. But the moment he attempts to observe it, the pattern disappears.
He suddenly realises: it isn't light choosing its form. It is he who chooses whether to observe... or to look away."
