1. Why can Mike be so hot in China?
Information Times reported on August 22nd? Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming have been the mainstay of the program since the opening of the Chinese restaurant in Elephant Island, Thailand. Whenever China people go into the store to spend money, Chinese restaurants instantly become a "fan meeting" in a foreign country. The customers in the restaurant are served by big stars in surprise and excitement. This kind of life experience can be told for 800 rounds after returning to China. Finally, in the program broadcast last week, Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming can rest their "star aura" because a special diner, the popular Thai actor Mike, walked into the restaurant.
Mike appeared as a mysterious guest on last week's program. At first, the "partner" of the restaurant didn't know his real identity until Mike took the initiative to go out and help the "Chinese restaurant" attract customers. Thai consumers who entered the restaurant exclaimed again and again, and the spoony faces of both men and women always faced Mike's position. Only then did everyone realize that Mike was "Huang Xiaoming, Thailand".
In fact, Mike, who became popular in China with the Thai version of "Full House of Romance", has been involved in the China market for a long time and has mostly appeared in online dramas before. With many fans, he was a guest on Hunan Satellite TV's reality show "Chinese Restaurant", which not only exposed his hardworking China people, but also showed off his singing skills and cooking skills, bringing many surprises to the audience. Earlier, Mike accepted an exclusive interview with an Information Times reporter when promoting his TV series "Delicious Romance" and shared his experience in China.

? In order to speak lines in Chinese, he squeezed out his spare time to learn Chinese.
"I use the APP to learn the car, and the agents are bored."
The biggest surprise of Mike's appearance on the China reality show "Chinese Restaurant" is that he is proficient in Chinese. Walking into the "Chinese Restaurant", Mike can communicate freely with Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming and others in Chinese, and he can also correct the Chinese pronunciation of his companion ship. Even more amazing, at the end of the program, he and Huang Xiaoming sang Joker Xue's The Actor together, which fascinated the guests in the restaurant and the audience in front of the TV. Foreign stars who have developed in China can use Chinese flexibly to the extent that the audience thinks they can "receive goods".
Mike came to China from 20 15, and made his debut in The Legend of Qingqiu Fox Hu Si. Since then, he has successively performed plays such as Unintentional Master, Little Lover, Dear Princess Disease, Mr. Swimmer and Delicious Romance. Like most foreign artists, he mostly reads lines in his mother tongue, and then solves language differences through dubbing later. However, Mike described his requirements for himself. He said, "In the past, all the lines were spoken in English and then dubbed, but now I still hope to speak Chinese as much as possible, because every time I finish a play, I will watch it when it is broadcast, and I find that if I speak English, my mouth will be wrong, which will affect the audience's feelings."
Since he is determined to open the China market, Mike is determined to learn Chinese well. Reciting dialogue is one of his ways to learn Chinese, and the crew is his mobile classroom to learn Chinese. "I don't learn Chinese by rote. I must understand the meaning of this sentence in order to understand how to perform. " After work, he also makes full use of his spare time. "Because I usually have a lot of homework, I can't get a tutor, so I downloaded a mobile APP, and I can study on my mobile phone when I take the bus. When I was in Thailand, my agent was bored with me. "
Using Chinese more and more skillfully has brought a lot of convenience to Mike's work. He said, "This will help me make more friends, and the directors and actors who play opposite plays can communicate with me better, and everyone will be more emotionally involved when acting."
? In order to show his cooking skills, he specially found a video imitation.
My ex-girlfriend taught me to cook.
Mike shows his warm man side in the Chinese restaurant. He will take the initiative to help the Chinese restaurant attract customers and serve the guests who come to visit warmly and thoughtfully. When he sang songs with deep affection, he deliberately took away a foreign female tourist and fascinated the fans of anthomaniac. He also contributed the first Dongyin Gong Tang in his life, and the pictures choked by spicy taste made netizens shout "cute". Aren't boys who are enthusiastic, know how to pick up girls and take the initiative to cook charming beyond measure?
Don't stare at the menu on your mobile phone while watching Mike cook in a Chinese restaurant. In fact, he has made some achievements in cooking. Mike is a three-country hybrid. It is reported that he attended an international school when he was a child, and his English was good and his living habits were westernized. He said, "I usually cook by myself. I usually cook steak and pasta, and sometimes I invite friends to come home to do it together, which is more relaxed. " Explaining why he became a "chef man", he said, "My ex-girlfriend taught me how to start cooking."
Last year, Mike filmed a TV series with the theme of "Chef Man" in China-delicious and romantic. In order to play the role of "star chef of western restaurant" in the play, he specially learned a lot of cooking skills. "I found some related videos on the Internet, carefully watching the gestures of chefs holding knives and cutting vegetables, and even how to pour spoons, I will learn."
Mike admits that he is a foodie, and his favorite China food is hot pot. So in "Chinese Restaurant", he also put forward the appeal of eating hot pot. When he came to China for filming, he was most gratified by the hot pot. Because of his love of food, he made many friends in China. He revealed: "I am very busy at work and have no time to invite everyone to meet. If an artist friend from China visits Thailand, I will entertain him. Just like Leon went to Thailand some time ago, I asked him out for dinner. "
? 4. "I like work, I am a workaholic"
Mike used to be a popular traffic manager in Thailand, but the "ex-girlfriend having a baby" incident had a great impact on his career. Later, he starred in the Thai version of "sealed with a kiss" and made a successful comeback, which also gained a large number of fans in China. Since then, he has entered the China market, but most of his early works are online dramas, and the audience is still fans who like Thai dramas. In recent years, many youth inspirational idol dramas have been performed, such as "Mr. Swimmer" and "Delicious Romance", all of which are the first heroes, a figure show and a cooking show, all of which are purposeful projects. Before these two TV series were broadcast, Mike recorded the reality show "Chinese Restaurant", as if he had got the key to "entering the house".
When he came to China for development, Mike had to adapt to the work rhythm of the China crew. He said: "The shooting rhythm of Thai TV dramas is just a little different from that of China TV dramas. Basically, China starts work every day, but even if Thailand takes a two-day break, it won't last for two or three months like China. I prefer the pace of work in China. Although filming every day is very tiring, I like working. I am a workaholic. "
Mike played many handsome guys in Thailand and inspired many girls' hearts. When he came to China, he also had a set of standards for taking roles. "I like challenging roles. I don't have to be handsome or rich. The character should have something that can impress me. Because I will stay in the crew for two or three months, if you are not interested in your role at all, you can't finish the play seriously. "
As a foodie, Mike accepted the role of "delicious romance". He said that the drama moved him: "Food, like life, is full of ups and downs. This drama will teach you how to make life like food. " He also joked: "Because of filming, I often steal food until the box is empty. The director often shouts, "Mike, stop eating, it's almost gone." "
