Mike in Japan, thinking of his mother.
Recently, Ipersonally travel to Tokyo fpr half months during the scholl vacation.At the beginning, I eat instant noodles everyday because I don't likeeating alone outside. It is very lonely. After that, the JapanManagement Company realized it and started to bring me to eat outside.At that time I always think of my mother's cook, then I will telephoneback home.
From small until adult, I have lived in the home.Only once time I live home is to study at Taichung Instutute. At thattime, I need to eat alone, wash my own cloths, called myself wake upand I feel that it is very hard. Plus, at that time, I need to studyand work as a part time model to make money. Sometimes, one month onlyearn 3000 to 4000yuan, just for eating expenses is alreadyinsufficient, never think of buying other things. When I have no money,I have no choice. I can only borrow money from other relatives or askmy mother to send money for me. Every week, I will travel back home atTaipei, but each time traveling back, I does not wish to return toschool. Because I really wish to stay by my parents side and this mademy feel upset. Why I didn't get into Taipei university?
Thisyear went to Japan, the feeling of the past came back with no motheraround. One cloth need two to three days only wash. Once before I wentoverseas, I call back to my mother receive a cheat call said "Mum, Ihave an accident, help me!" My mother really believed it. Fortunately,my mother immediately call me. After that, I only realized safety isthe most important things when going out faraway.
In Tokyo, Icarelessly used the credit card until burst, then I quickly call motherfor help. Originally, I think that work hard for so long, want to usethe money I earn to pampered myself, but later thinks that it is notnecessary to do that. Cloths wear like this or like that is still thesame. However, I still seriously study Japanese, maybe no pressure oflearning things is the best way to learn it. The night before I sleep,I will flashback the content of what I have learnt.

Comic Star Mike He Part 2
Q: Most memorable scene
A:My memorable scene is the scene Rainie and I need to shout in thebalcony. The director want us to shoot the scene at one time directly,I was very nervous at that time because I was afraid of NG. But Ididn't think that both of us have good chemistry. Because the lines forthat scene is long but the director want us to shoot it at one time.Because we need to control the emotion. After shooting that scene, Imyself think that the atmosphere was correct. I see from her eye, Iknow that I got go into the role, got the feeling of tears coming out.Got that correct emotion. This is my own memorable scene.
Q: First time singing for drama, how do you think about your own performance? Any interesting things happen?
A:This is the first time I have to sing for the drama story. I givemyself 55 marks. I hope that I can get 100marks, that is my satisfyingrate. At that time, only I will start to do. At the studio, sometimes Icannot get into the pace and need to record a lot of time. This made myfeel quite shy. (shy smile) After that, maybe I will go for some musictraining. If I am really well prepared, maybe I will also have somemusic product. (laugh) But need to wait until I get 100marks only canla. After this, I will also not reject to sing in a drama for thestory. But I hope that next time I can be well-prepared.
Qn real life, would you like a person like Tong Jia Di character girl?If friends and brothers feel in love for the same girl, what will youdo? Is this happened before in real life?
A: I will not feel inlove with the same firls as my brothers or friends. Becasue I thinkthat compete for woman and fame and destroy the relationship are thestupid (don't know this word I translate correct or not) things. And Ialso think that no matter her background is, the most important thingis the feeling. No matter the person is like Tong Jia di or not, Ibelieve that between human, the most important things is feeling. Butif a girl like Tong Jia Di character , and have the cuteness of Rainie,then I believe most guys will like it.
Q: If in real life, you meet a person like Huo Da get a weird sickness, what will you do?
A myself think that if I want to leve, I think that cheating is not theway. I think that it should be spending the left time with her.Sometimes when you think of somethings, you will not definitely goingto do it. Then, I think that left time should spend on fulfill the wishof my partner. Give myself a "Although cannot be together for the worldlife but at less have own the most memorable things" feeling.
Q: What is your feeling when filming kissing scene?
A feel nervous. (rainie: Will you?) Sure. Shoot kissing scene sure willfeel nervous ah! But male cannot show out their nervous. Like thekissing scene we done in the campus. Myself time shooting kissing scenewith so many people at the side watching. Normally when shootingkissing scene, is when there are few people at the side. It is rarelyfor shooting kissing scene, many people by the side. That scene wasvery nervous to me, cause need to afraid of NG or cannot give thedirector the feeling he want. Actually, shooting kissing scene alreadyso many times, it doesn't has any special feeling anymore. Whilekissing need to take note of the shooting scene and angle. The mostimportant is drama is drama. It is not really want you to kiss withyour beloved. This is the different.
Q: What character you wish to act?
A:Me? If need to choose a character, I want to act as police. Because I,myself likes the feeling of Jackie Chan action movie. The police whofight for justice and fight with bad guys. (Rainie: You wish to actlike that? Undercover?) Also can. As long as it is police, no matter...(Rainie: Traffic cop?) (laugh) Also can. (kingone: If like Stephen Chouwant) (three laugh) Also can ah. As long as it is related to a police.(Rainie: The anti-vice?) (Kingone: If that type work in presidentialplace and need to wear the uniform. Also need to shave your hair?)What? Uniform? That is not police, is soldier. Police don't need toshave their head ba? (Rainie: Then the anti-vice want most suitable!Can catch a group of girls) Anti-vice also not bad. Just like the "bahuang hua" (Kingone laugh: ba huang hua is for female.) Then, I willact as the male version of "ba huang hua". (rainie laugh: then you actas a change sex female police) Er.. that also not bad la. (three ofthem laugh) |

Mike new interview at Taiwan but in HK newspaper.
Evil men-Mike He
Nickname "Xiao Mei"
After knowing Mike He, only know that his nick name is "Xiao Mei". All people call him "xiao mei". This six-foot tall man, why he was call like that? always mistake that he was called "Xiao Mei" because of his English name "Mike" that sound like "mei". When I ask him only know that this is due to a character "He Yi Hang" portrayed in one show.
At that time during a show a funny character appear and this character is called "He Xiao Mei". This naughty joke started when Mike when to school, all his friends started to call him "He Xiao Mei". This nick name has used by Mike until today.
At first, when Mike hear other people call his nickname, he can't accept it. But soon later when he met the passerby on road, they all called him Xiao Mei and he feel that this nickname is very friendly and awesome. He treated his own entertainment business wholeheartedly, to make "Xiao Mei" become the new Taiwan top artists as "The first evil man."
Black prince Xiao Mei
Mike is the recent favourite artists in Taiwan idol drama. He own all the requirement of becoming an idol with his tall and handsome appearance. What is more, he is quite "evil". Does the evil is the only things require to become so popular? Other people may not becoming popular because of the devilish. But he is definitely deserves the "Number 1 evil man". We make a special trip to Taiwan to interview the female passerby to know that who is the most popular artists. When asking a few "Why Why Love" fans, the answer is -the eye. Is Mike He and Rainie Yang really dating in real life?
From"Devil Beside You" Jiang Mong until "Why Why Love" Huo Da, the first thought Mike is that he is very evil, but when he show out his smile, making the heart of everyone to melt until the "freezing point."
Mike asked me "Are you from Hong Kong? Have interview how many artists before?" Although the asking tone was just like Huo Da talking to Tong Jia Di, very stubborn, but it is a concern words. So, the first thing I ask him was "You usually will have the characteristic like Huo Da?" He answer, "Not that bad what? My personality is more quiet. Normally, I don't talk much. But when I treat my girlfriend sometime will become a bit evil to guard the person I like. But with friend I won't be that evil. But woman nowadays won't be control by the man already. From "Devil Beside You", "Express Boy" until "Why Why Love", Mike has successfully change the point of view of most female about the character of a white prince which is normally a romantic and gentle guy to a playful, self-righteous guy. Treated his girlfriend with his bad attitude but love her with his whole heart, this is what known as "The Black Prince".
Do not deny the probability to have any development with Rainie
Mike normally talk very little, but when he meet Rainie, both of them started to bickering with each other, looks like very happy. For Mike He, is Tong Jia Di very unique? When mention about Rainie, Mike smile and answered "We are indeed the most tacit partner. I sometimes will be influence by the partner I am working with. If my partner is quiet, then I will also be quiet. But Rainie is different. She is very cheerful and always laughing. When I see her during my work, my feeling will suddenly turn happy. Acting will affect one another and she bring many laughter to me. But other than work, we seldom meet each other after work." I haven't started to asked but he himself have close this topic of conversation. But I still continue to ask, in real life, would you also like to find a girlfriend same to this character? In the audience eye both of you are the new generation most compatable partner. Mike said "I feel that sometime acting too much and can't extracted away from the drama character is a quite painful things. Rainie is surely the kind of girl admire, so if we have the destiny to be together, I can not deny what will happen in future. But today, drama is drama, we must know how to extract ourself from it." In another words, there is a possibility for Huo Da and Tong Jia Di love tales to happen in the reality.
Very hard to love someone
Not yet see the sequel of both of their love story, I will like to ask first what is Mike opinion towards love? Is the girl must be quiet and long hair. Mike answer with two words-depends on destiny. The words has sum up everything? No, he also added "If really like each other, then will be together. But I am very hard to like someone. If I really have set my target, I will surely tell her. But that type of courage only appear during my first love. At that time is the most bravest."
Music
Maybe due to the previous "brokeback" relationship with Joe, in order not to destroy their friendship, when mention about Joe, Mike seem to avoiding this topic. "In the e-circle, it is quite hard to have friend. Most of my friends now are outside the e-circle. In the e-circle now, only the hair stylist and my manager that I can talk from heart to heart." Is Joe your good friend? Mike think for a moment and said "Joe... Because both of us are busy with our own work, surely if got time, we will also meet each other. But want to talk about some hearty problem, still will find the people outside the e-circle." Does he wish to protect the friendship and be that low-profile? Seeing him suddenly become quiet when mention about Joe, I have slowly change my topic. Why you didn't entering the music industry? Mike said "I often heard people said that in order to become a comprehensive artists must know how to sing, dance, host and acting. But that is not for me. I know myself really like acting. So, I will wholeheartedly filming my drama. Not much think about music. I am not a person that can do many things at once. Until now I have no intention for singing."
Started to grow up when losing oneself
Shooting drama not more than 4 years, Mike has become "Idol drama top artists". Mike is satisfied with his performance but he still got some demand. "When I started to enter the e-circle, I look more a sunny boy but now all have to maturity. Becoming an actor, the most difficult things is when you have portray more and more different role, your original sincere and naive had gone." 24 years has becoming old? "When I started acting initially, I only know that I am now acting. Other than that, there is nothing I know. At that time, I will surely use my own character to shoot the drama. But after acting in different drama, I will use "Not Mike" character in my acting. Sometime, wish to return to my original naive, it seem like I have lost it. Only that I found myself have grown up." Actually Mike He can be very funny, like in "Why Why Love". His funny character make every people like him. All people like to see Mike sunny smile. Can you have more smile? Mike show out his sunny smile and answered "Smile? Before that my smile is very sunny! Perhaps filming drama until very tired. Now have little flu. OK! I will smile more!"
Seriously acting in "why why love"
In Taiwan just finish broadcasting Why Why Love, but Mike know that Hong Kong had just started airing it. Also got some fans watching through internet. In the forum, he also saw some Hong Kong fans coming to leave message. Plus the sales of why why love photo book was good. He feel satisfied with the result. "This time acting is quite different with previous drama. In appearance, this character is a good for nothing rich guy, doesn't wish to inherit his parents business. When facing Tong Jia Di, from started to bully her until at last fall in love with her, the psychological change part, making this role more difficult to act. Now, shooting idol drama can't just play with it. Because the competition has become stronger and choosing the good script and role is important." |

Wish to go Hong Kong to film movie
Heard that TVB have plan for Mike to enter Hong Kong industry. Mention about acting in Hong Kong, how about Mike cantonese? Mike said "Shooting drama? Got a bit difficult. I totally can't speak cantonese. But I know how to sing cantonese song. At karaoke I like to sing Li Ming, Andy Lau and Ekin Cheng songs. I have go to Hong Kong 3 times and I wish to go again. Every time go to Hong Kong only stay for a few days and not allow to go out for shopping."
Strengthen his Japanese
Did you all know, Mike can speak Japanese fluently. This is because his drama "love Contract" was shown in Japan and receive good result. He has become Japan IMX management company one of the most important artists. Mike has become Bae Yong Joon little brother and have his own Japan website. Mike determine to learn his Japanese so that he can enter Japan industry. Learning cantonese would not be a problem for Mike!
Grateful for fans sacrification
Mike said "I sometime think, without the support of fans, what will be me for today? Because of their existence, I can exist. Their love for me, never ask for repayment. If I am shooting drama, they will don't care whether how far I am, they will bring fruits for me. When I do charity activity, they will help me in the fund-raising. When sometime try to hurt me, they all are still support me. This make me very touch with their action. I more prefer to express my gratefulness through the blog."
"In addition, I hope that fans won't spend too much money on me. When I donate my own T-shirt in the auction, they all will buy it back at high prices and return it to me. Of course, I am happy as they are doing good deeds. But buy it back for me is really don't need. Because I have donated it out is for the people who have done the good deed."
Carrier more important. Love and family are number 2
Mike said "At this moment, carrier is more important for me because I am not dating with anyone now! Ha Ha! Rest assured. Even if I have dating in the future, it will still be the number 2 important, same rank with family and friends. I am very lucky. Comes from a healthy family, although I am not from a wealthy family, nut my mother is a standard housewife. When I go to school, she will prepared lunch box for me and she will arrange will arrange everything for me."
"My parents never worried about my school achievement, but they worried that I choose the wrong way in my life. Initially I tell my parents that I want to become an artists, they afraid that I will get bad influence cause they heard a lot about the complexity of the entertainment industry. But after that they saw me come back home after work to memorise the script, and not coming back home late at night, finally they understand that their son is still a good boy."
Mike smile
Mike enter the e-circle not more than 4 years, have shoot altogether 8 dramas. 2003 "The Seventh Grade"; 2004 "Love Contract", "Say Yes Enterprise"; 2005 "Devil Beside You", "Express Boy"; 2006 "Marry Me"; and 2007 "Why Why Love", "Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao" (still filming).
Mike give the audience impression are mostly evil character. Mike first drama "The seventh grade" acting as a student character, look immature. After that, he collaborate with Ariel Lin in "Love Contract" act as Ah Ken who grown up in a single family. The character look more depressed.
Why Why Love show out his joking ability
Until "Devil Beside You", he started to have a devillish character and have give the audience an evil image. The sharp eyes and evil smilehas capture numerous fans. In the following drama "Express Boy", Mike act as a small master of a black society with a big tattoo on his back.
With two drama that base on evil, Mike act as a devoted man. In his life, he meet a lot of obstacle in his love. In this drama, he also need to dress up as a female.
This year Mike and Rainie collaborate again in new drama "Why Why Love", their love story touches the audiences. Both of them acting have become mature. Mike also show out his joking ability in the drama. He often have cute expression in the show.
"Love Contract" plot is the most touching
Mike said "If ask me about my most favourite work, in fact all of this products are important for me cause it is all my hard work to produced them. I more prefer "Love Contract" and "Devil Beside You". When shooting "love", all my tears run out is due to the plot, and the tears looks nature. No eye drop is used, used much effort to cry it out. I am not the artists that can laugh and shout out immediately, but very soon I can get into the plot of the drama. "Devil" plot is the most memorable plot for me."
Postscript
After Mike become popular, apart from losing private time, the paparazzi have long been tracking for him. The day we met in the restaurant for interview. Just after taking only a few pictures at outside scene, he and his manager said that the paparazzi is taking photo. They said "Let's go inside to take photo. Prevent paparazzi from taking photo." The photographer and I move inside the camera secretly, seeing left and right whether got paparazzi or not. The photo take was not enough. Fortunately, after the interview, Mike has relaxed himself and haves takes some photo at Taipei street. Finally we have bring "The sunny smile" of Mike to you all.
The prices of becoming fame. Maybe if Mike have stay i Hong Kong for a long time, he will be used to it as this is "Hong Kong culture". |
