czy: are you more orderly or spontaneous?
zxc: i'm fine with both. but sometimes when i've chosen a style, the other person isn't the same
czy: do both people have to be the same?
zxc: i like to be led by the other person 😂#CDrama pic.twitter.com/ehEkQYnAqF

#ZhangXincheng: are you more orderly or spontaneous?#ChenZheyuan: i seek to not let others see that i'm acting
zxc: that's actually very hard to do. good films have lighting, cinematography and audiovisual language to help you (get into character) so you're very relaxed#CDrama pic.twitter.com/OpUenBcId1

#ChenZheyuan: do you think it's better if the audience can tell if you're acting or not?#ZhangXincheng: depends on the director. some like it natural, others like it more out there...#CDrama pic.twitter.com/yUwIBn7Zci

#ZhangXincheng: i struggle with this too. often, i feel i've captured the (character's emotional depth) in my core but when i watch back it's...#ChenZheyuan: very bland
zxc: yes, very bland, too bland#CDrama pic.twitter.com/1MLfQTX1nY
