Dating

The filming process was done during Lay Zhang’s concert tour. After dance practice, Jiang Sida asks Lay Zhang if he has any desires to get to know other people. Lay Zhang responds, “There are people that I want to get to know better. For example, you like a girl. Even though you like the girl, but you guys talk for a bit, and then there is no follow up. Why? You really don’t know them. You don’t have time to get to know them, so you can’t start. It takes a lot of courage to tell someone you like them.”

Jiang Sida is surprised and tells him that if he really wanted to, he can say he likes whoever he wants and there shouldn’t be much difficulty. Lay Zhang responds back, “Huh? You are oversimplifying this a bit.” Jiang Sida then asks him, “Don’t you have someone you like lately?” Lay Zhang immediately says, “No.”

Fans

Jiang Sida asks him if there was a time where he was disappointed at his fans. Lay Zhang responds, “Saying I lip synched throughout the whole concert. I was really singing. After the first day of practice, everything was done and we thought it was good. The only thing we didn’t check was the sound quality. Later on, fans wrote me letters and said, ‘If you really can’t sing, then just forget about it. Don’t have a concert.'”

Lay Zhang takes a deep sigh and continues on saying, “This is why every time I sing, I use a hand held mic so if I pull the mic away, then I am not singing. I bring it closer, then I am really singing.”

Music

Throughout the three day interaction, he gets really pumped up talking about music and how he wants to be viewed as an artist. Jiang Sida mentions he doesn’t know how he should view Lay Zhang because he has different identities such as singer, actor, music producer, idol and how they are all different. Lay Zhang then explains, “A lot of people hear he’s from “Go Fighting! (极限挑战). I know this person Zhang Yixing, but I don’t know what you do because you don’t have a good piece of work. Whether it’s music, film, or series, you don’t have a complete piece of work that can enter people’s hearts.”

At one point, he asks Jiang Sida and his crew, “Before meeting me, would you guys think I created my own music? Speak honestly.” Jiang Sida responds, “I heard you created your own music.” Lay Zhang gets a bit worked up and says, “Not what you heard. Your feelings. Would you feel I created it myself?” One of the videographer says his perception of Lay Zhang is different now and that he used to think that a song of his was not created by him. Lay Zhang then explains that there are people who don’t believe him when he tells them he created his own music. They say that it’s impossible he could do it and that someone else is definitely doing it for him.
