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 Chinese Restaurant opened in Elephant Island, Thailand. Whenever China people come into the store to spend money, the Chinese Restaurant instantly becomes a "fan meeting" in a foreign country. The customers in the restaurant are served by big stars in surprise and excitement, and this life experience can be told for 800 rounds after returning to China. Finally, in last week's broadcast program, Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming can give their "star aura" a rest, because a special diners-Thailand's popular actor Mike entered the restaurant.
Mike appeared as the mysterious guest of last week's program. At first, the "partners" of the restaurant didn't know his real identity, until Mike took the initiative to go out to help the "Chinese restaurant" solicit customers, and the Thai consumers who entered the restaurant screamed again and again, and the spoony faces of both men and women always faced Mike's position. At this time, everyone realized 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 wading into the China market for a long time, and most of them have appeared in online dramas before. With many fans, he was a guest of Hunan Satellite TV's reality show "Chinese Restaurant", which not only exposed his hard-working Chinese, but also showed off his singing skills and cooking skills, bringing many surprises to the audience. Earlier, Mike accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Information Times while promoting his TV series "Delicious Romance", and shared his experiences in China.

? In order to say his lines in Chinese, he squeezed spare time to learn the language.
"I use APP to learn by car, and my agents are bored to death."
The biggest surprise of Mike's appearance in the China reality show "Chinese Restaurant" is his proficiency 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 his companion boat's Chinese pronunciation. What's even more amazing is that at the end of the program, he and Huang Xiaoming sang Joker Xue's The Actor together, which made the guests in the restaurant and the audience in front of the TV fascinated. Foreign stars who have developed in China can use Chinese flexibly to such an extent that the audience thinks that they can "receive the goods".
Mike came to China for development from 20 15, and made his debut in The Legend of the Qingqiu Fox, Hu Si Xiang Gong. Since then, he has successively taken on dramas such as The Unintentional Master, Little Lover, Dear Princess Disease, Mr. Swimmer and Delicious Romance. Like most foreign artists, he mostly reads his lines in his mother tongue, and then solves the language differences through dubbing later. However, Mike described his requirements for himself. He said, "In the past, the lines were all spoken in English, and then dubbed later, but now I still hope to speak Chinese as much as possible if I can speak Chinese lines, 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 not be right, 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 before I can understand how to perform." After work, he also made full use of his spare time. "Because I usually have a lot of work, I can't ask 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. "
The increasingly skillful use of Chinese 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."
? 3. In order to show his cooking skills, he specially found a video imitation.
My ex-girlfriend taught me how to cook.
Mike showed his warm man side in Chinese Restaurant, and he would take the initiative to help the Chinese Restaurant attract customers and serve the guests who came to visit warmly and thoughtfully. When he sang songs with deep affection, he deliberately took away a foreign female tourist, which made the anthomaniac fans fascinated; He also contributed the first Dongyin Gong Tang in his life, and the picture of being choked by spicy taste when he tasted it made netizens shout "cute". Aren't the boys who are enthusiastic, know pick up hot chicks and actively cook attractive off the charts?
Don't look at Mike's cooking in Chinese Restaurant while staring at the recipes on his mobile phone. In fact, he has already achieved some accomplishments in cooking. Mike is a three-country mixed-race. 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 spaghetti, and sometimes I invite my friends home to cook 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 Romance. In order to play the role of "Star Chef of Western Restaurant" in the drama, he deliberately learned a lot of chef skills. "I found some related videos online, carefully watched the gestures of chefs holding knives and cutting vegetables, and even how to tip spoons, and I would learn."
Mike admits that he is a foodie, and his favorite China food is hot pot. Therefore, 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 goes to Thailand to play, 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 was once a popular traffic manager in Thailand, but the "ex-girlfriend having children" incident had a lot of influence on his career. Later, after he appeared in the Thai version of "seal it with a kiss", he successfully turned over, and this drama also gained a large number of fans in China. Since then, he began to enter the China market, but most of his early works were mainly online dramas, and his audience was still fans who liked Thai dramas. In recent years, he has acted in many youth inspirational idol dramas, such as Mr. Swimmer and Delicious Romance, all of which are first hero, one showing off his figure and one showing off his cooking skills, all of which are full of 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 to develop, Mike had to adapt to the work rhythm of the China crew. He said: "The pace of shooting Thai TV dramas is just a little different from that of China TV dramas. Basically, China starts work every day, but even if Thailand shoots for two days and takes a day off, it will not last for two or three months as China does. I prefer the pace of work in China. Although I am tired of filming every day, I like to work. I am a workaholic. "
Mike has performed many handsome men in Thailand, which has inspired many girls' hearts. When he came to China, he also had a set of criteria for taking on roles. "I will like challenging roles. I don't have to be handsome or rich. The role should have something that can touch me. Because I have to stay in the crew for two or three months, if you are not interested in your role at all, you will not be able to finish the play seriously. "
As a foodie, Mike took the role of "Delicious Romance". He said that what touched him in this drama was: "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 and eat it until the box is empty. The director often shouts,' ‘Mike, stop eating, it's almost gone'."
