Wu Yifan then moved onto discussing his life in the entertainment industry, revealing, “When I was 18 years old, I entered the entertainment industry by chance and started chasing after another dream. At the beginning, my mom was really against me being a trainee in Korea as she was really worried. However, I thought boys should start being independent at the age of 18 in order to share the family pressure, so I went to Korea.
The training system in Korea is comprehensive but strict. I learned a lot and also experienced some hardships during the seven years that I was there for. I really missed home, especially during the holidays. However, these things were really nothing. The thing that was the hardest to deal with was the uncertainty about the future.
Often times, you would feel extremely lost and scared. You wouldn’t know when you will actually have the chance to fulfill your dream, or if you will actually end up accomplishing anything at all. You wouldn’t know how the story will go, and no one would be there to tell you.
I thought about giving up, but I persevered at the end. The one that gave me the most motivation was my mom. She told me, ‘Son, no matter what, if you feel that you’re tired, then just come home. Don’t worry and don’t be scared, mom will always be waiting for you to come home.’ She didn’t give me an excuse to quit, but rather a reason to keep going – to not let my family down and not regret my decisions.
I remember I was especially nervous when I first filmed Lao Pao Er, but later on I found out the directors were really willing to help out the newbies. Instead of being tough, they gave me a lot of encouragement instead. I was really happy and learned a lot, so I hope I get to work with a lot of different seniors in the future and take on different roles. I want to be a good actor and enjoy the fun in being an actor.
