So you still live in China? How did your local friends react to you working with movies? Were they envious in any way?

Yeah I've lived here for 5 years now. Local in China? Chinese people were extremely envious, especially seeing how close I was working to one of their heroes. There are so many people here that doing something so special is even more special.

But did you actually have any contact with the real stars of the films? Did they talk to you at all?

Yeah in Wandering Earth 2 I was a featured extra and 5 of us and the main star shot our scenes in a small little spaceship for a few days. We spoke but nothing personal just pleasantaries. I spoke to Dante Lam too, I mentioned in the OP he asked where I was from.

Oh sorry, I thought I had read everything. But my memory isn’t what it was…

So when you write everything was dubbed later, you mean I won’t hear your original voice in any of the films, right?

No an American guy in Beijing who I met later dubbed my character, you will hear me saying "fire" in the second Lake Changjing though they didn't dub that.
