Felt motivated as he received the recognition
Zheng Yuan Chang will never give up on actingTaiwanese artist invading the half of the globe in Hong Kong entertainment is already a hard fact by now. Taiwanese artists together with their [Taiwanese Series] are coming into Hong Kong like a big storm and it has never missed its target. The series that Zheng Yuan Chang provides for the Hong Kong fans will be Taiwanese version of [ISWAK] and it was very popular in Hong Kong. A lot of Hong Kong artists will find it hard to compare with the passion that Xiao Zhong had! Xiao Zhong said: [Taiwan’s entertainment industry is very different from Hong Kong entertainment industry, if you are doing the tv series then you will be doing the tv series, the singer will only be doing the singing; all will be concentrate on 1 field. Hong Kong artists will be trying out a lot of different fields from singing, movies and series. I’m interested to be like the Hong Kong artists, trying out various fields. I would like to sing, act in movies, collaborating with my idols like Stephen Chow, Tony Leung, and then I won’t ask for anything anymore!]
Stepping down from the runway; his achievement is even biggerXiao Zhong has a handsome face since he was born, to have all these qualities given to him and before he stepped into the entertainment industry, he was already being introduced to become a model. Until one day, while he was on the runway [having a crowd watching him on the runway], he realize that instead of walking on the runway as a Solo why don’t he just work with a group of people and develop a good series together. As its sense of achievement would be even bigger if compare to his modeling. His curiosity and opportunities happen to come just in time and Xiao Zhong finally enters the entertainment industry. He said: [Artist and model are very different; model is very independent while walking on the runway and it’s about representing the product alone; while the tv series will require a team of member to achieved it. So it will be a bit hard to gain anything in return because we have to wait for the series to be released first in order to know about the feedback; but the sense of achievement will be bigger too. So I prefer to be an artist than a model because being an artist it is not just another job for me, it’s my career!]
A lot of people will think that they are the most unfortunate people, never thought that they are actually very luckily to have what they have now. From the outside, Xiao Zhong seems like the type that couldn’t take on any hardship at all, more like a [weak] guy. But him who’s inside is full of passion about his work, won’t think of as hardship at all: [I know that filming a series will be an ongoing type of work, once I only get to sleep for 5 hours in one week. But I didn’t felt that I have waste my youth at all because I believed in retaliation.]
To express his feelings through his eyes; Using his heart to act out his roleWhen asked what was his biggest retaliation? Xiao Zhong laughed and said: [I have! One time a mother and daughter recognized me on the street, they said to me: [We love watching the series that you are in; from you eyes we know that you are a very hardworking actor, totally not just as simple as an idol!] This encouraging sentence is much better than any words at all. And it was true that if you really strive for it, you will receive your retaliation. There was once a director who told me, if people are touched by your movie then that movie is a good movie. Actors who are able to use their eyes to express themselves, will be consider as good actors, so Zheng Yuan Chang’s acting did actually touched our hearts!]
But the entertainment industry is full of gossip; you can’t really escape those rumors and harsh words. Xiao Zhong was being included as having [brokeback relationship] with Mike He. Finally making him realized the impact of this rumor which will eventually be brought up again from time to time. Xiao Zhong said: [Actually I don’t really like to do interviews, because I don’t like to share my all to everyone. I also understand the fans might be interested to know more about me but every person will bound to have a sunny and gloomy side and I will try to keep my gloomy side to myself. But since I have been in the entertainment for quite sometime now, I have finally come to accept this culture.] Xiao Zhong sounds a bit disgruntled when he said these words.
Praising the 3 ladiesAlthough Xiao Zhong was being rumor as a brokeback but he is very popular among the ladies as well. When talked about girls, he becomes even more talkative!
Rumored Girlfriend Liv[In my eyes she only has good points, she is nice and active, I talked to her on the phone regularly and would go out for dinner, I am very happy when we are together, to say the truth, she totally fits my ideal preferences.]
Idol Karen Mok[She is my idol, able to sing and dance and has an attitude too. A lot of people will like the girly girls, but she (Karen Mok) was able to drop her sexy goddess image and acted as an ugly girl, really admire her.]
Great admiration towards Sammi Cheng[It is very hard to find another hardworking artist like Sammi Cheng, whether or not she is in singing or in acting, she was able to get the work done properly. And after what she had been through all this while and she still didn’t give up.]
Slaving the heart of the fans by just one kissIn 2000 Xiao Zhong was being hired as a model by a management company because of his height; sharing the same company with Taiwan’s famous model, Lin Zhi Ling. In 2003, people started to aware of him when he was being invited to become the substitute host for the [Entertainment News] in a TV station.
In 2005 Xiao Zhong participates in Peng Jia Duan’s series [ISWAK] who was also the producer of the TV series [The Rose]. This year he even went to promote [The Rose] in Japan together with Ella and was well received by the local fans.
In 2007, following the well received predecessor he has take on the role again in [TKA], continue to appear with Lin Yi Chen as the onscreen couple. The bed scene in the series was being highly promoted too. After the first 2 episode were aired in Taiwan, its rating has been topping his best friend Mike He’s series, becoming the top rating series among the Idol Series.
Using my hands to draw out my heartXiao Zhong said: [I have been meaning to expand my working environment but I also wanted to be a illustrator. Because I love to draw since I was a child, using drawings as a way to express my inner heart. Hopefully sometime in the future I will be able to publish my very own illustration book; but all this is still under conception.]
