In contrast to the team’s planning, Feng himself seems unprepared to deal with the media in depth. He will admit his lack of confidence and insecurity in the face of sharp questions, and will seem even more evasive about the competition for jungle status. Of course, a year has passed, and he also made his own summary of the “power” scandal that started a fire in an exclusive interview with the weekly.
Responding to industry questions
“It’s really hard to walk right now”
Nandu Entertainment: Interestingly enough, although “The Palace” made you a big hit, it caused a lot of controversy, so much so that you played Xiang Yu.
The first time I saw you, I was very impressed.
Feng Shaofeng: People always like to hear good things, but my need for that is not that strong. The heaviest words I’ve ever heard are, for example, “You’re a stupid person, very stupid. I’m the least afraid of being questioned. I actually like to hear this, when everyone is questioning, suddenly wow, give everyone a very powerful thing. No matter what happens in the end with “Hongmen Banquet,” it is a door. If it wins big at the box office, it is a golden door, if it is average at the box office, it is a wooden door, both open the door of the movie for me.
Because I didn’t feel like my acting would be questioned. At least not to be called out. I’m pretty confident in that regard.
Nandu Entertainment: But did you also find the next step after the big hit difficult?
Feng Shaofeng: I’m terrified. It’s really hard to take steps now. But I think every step I’ve taken since “The Palace” has been pretty steady, and basically 90% of what I want to shoot has been shot. I still believe in my insight into my work, and once I’m very inspired and impulsive, I can definitely do a good job. I try to make every film after that without missing a beat. But one can’t stay on top forever.

Nandu Entertainment: Are you insecure?
Feng Shaofeng: Yes, insecure. I always have to think, what do I have to get behind? I often do this when it comes to work, and if I get it all today, I might not have it tomorrow. But I can usually enjoy the trepidation. It’s not that kind of insecurity. I believe that if you have a piece of work that comes out one day, all that can be wiped away.
Responding to the topic of making
“No borrowing from people to be on top”
Nandu Entertainment: A while ago, a magazine photographed you and Zhou Xun having dinner, saying that you have a sister-brother relationship, did this single sneak peek hurt you a lot?
Feng Shaofeng: I’m very upset about it now, but it’s over. That’s just ordinary friends having dinner, not two people, a lot of people.
Nandu Entertainment: Is your point of displeasure in the untrue news, or the subsequent displeasure of what others have said about you?
Feng Shaofeng: There is no sibling relationship, said to be a sibling relationship. This is the point of displeasure. I didn’t even read the follow-up comments, I didn’t want to read those. (Saying you borrowed Zhou Xun to get to the top?) What have I borrowed? Just one article? I do not need this one article? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Nandu Entertainment: Do you accept similar hype arrangements?
Feng Shaofeng: No. If the collaborative team tells me afterwards that this time it was actually arranged by us, then don’t collaborate, no matter who it is, collaborate with a minimum of respect.
Nandu Entertainment: But during the gap in the work, there is no topic not worried about fans leaving you?
Feng Shaofeng: I am in the mindset of a viewer, always want to see something new, it is not a marriage and a relationship, to be endless, like a person should be a lifetime, for modern people, marriage is not necessarily endless, and how can I ask my fans? It’s normal to turn your attention to someone else once you don’t surprise them.
Nandu Entertainment: Besides your work, do you regularly give them something sweet to keep them loving you?
Feng Shaofeng: My sweet spot is my work, the only thing I have to rely on is my work to get attention.
Response to “Power” scandal
“Once the biggest power party of all”
Nandu Entertainment: Yang Mi (
Nandu Entertainment: Yang Mi (twitter) also has a new scandalous partner these days, as an old scandalous boyfriend, do you feel lost or relieved?
Feng Shaofeng: After all, “Palace” has also been broadcast for so long, forever tripped up by this drama, and not enough respect for the new opponent, right? As for off-screen, the two of us have actually been clarifying that everyone should have understood that my relationship with her is a very deep kinship. That day a girl, a peak power party, also brought a group photo for me to sign, very quietly asked me to say can sign? In fact, they understand our relationship, but after all, they have seen the TV, the two of us is a love in. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Nandu Entertainment: But you’re said to be the biggest fan of Peak Power? I hope that the relationship in the drama will continue outside the drama?
Feng Shaofeng: There was a time when …… uh, there was a time. The two of us are more or less affectionate together, but then I realized that our personalities really don’t lend themselves to a relationship as lovers, and are better suited to be the best working partners.
Nandu Entertainment: As a man, have you ever made a move towards Yang Mi that went beyond friendship?
Feng Shaofeng: Uh, no. I’m a bit more subtle and less bold. I’m not used to being pursued by girls, and I’m more passive. With her, I’m not used to expressing anything either.
Nandu Entertainment: When we interviewed Yang Mi, she said she wanted to find a man she could look up to, and you didn’t meet her requirements?
Feng Shaofeng: Well, it’s true that I’m not a strong person in life, and I don’t make a gesture of being looked up to, and I don’t have a strong desire to be in control. I think men and women should have an equal relationship, and help each other to understand each other, not to find a teacher, or a student, or a child. I think it’s a good idea to have a relationship that is equal, to help each other understand each other, not to go to a teacher, or a student, or a child.

Response to Love Life
“Single, No One Night Stand”
Nandu Entertainment: So you’re single now?
Feng Shaofeng: Haven’t met the right one, unless you feel very good in every way. And it’s best if it doesn’t have any impact on the current career. (That’s kind of a selfish thought, right?) I just know I have this idea, so I’m not in a relationship right now, and it would be selfish of me to go now and ask someone to give themselves completely to me. I can choose not to.
Nandu Entertainment: In a couple of years, no more heterosexual gossip, about the time someone says you’re gay, right?
Feng Shaofeng: Whatever the rumor.
Nandu Entertainment: So do you accept one-night stands?
Feng Shaofeng: One-night stands are too dangerous. It’s not like we know each other. Now everyone knows me. (The reason you don’t accept it is because you are afraid that people will recognize you?) No, I haven’t had a one-night stand before when no one knew me either.
Nandu: Have you never had a very indulgent life?
Feng Shaofeng: That’s a regret, too.
