Short Ugly Fat Counterattack to Become Dominant CEO? This Goddess Has Something to Say!
At Codoon, we are often inspired by"The story of a chubby guy turning into a handsome man and winning the goddess's heart"which motivates us to start running and losing weight immediately. Today, I want to introduce a heartwarming workplace stress-relief TV drama"Pretty Li Huizhen"where the male lead transforms from a chubby boy to a successful man, winning the admiration of two elegant goddesses in no time~
Now, I am fortunate to have the chance to "chat" with one of the goddesses from the dramaLi Xiruiso let's get to know this multi-talented lady better!
Synopsis of "Pretty Li Huizhen"
The drama tells the story of Li Huizhen, who once had everything perfect but grew up to be unnoticed, and her reunion with her first love, who was short, chubby, and unattractive in his youth but became a fashionable elite and a cool deputy editor through hard work and exercise.In "Pretty Li Huizhen," Li Xirui plays Huizhen's best friend, who agrees to pretend to be Huizhen and date the transformed male lead.
Q1: What is your schedule like recently? Are you currently filming?
Li XiruiRecently, I haven't been filming. I've been adjusting and went on vacation to Yalong Bay and Sun Bay in Sanya. Although I regret not diving, I was happy to swim. I swam in various hotel pools and even took a yacht to swim in the middle of the sea. I recommend Sun Bay; it's relatively private with beautiful coral reefs washed ashore.
Q2: You studied at the Central University for Nationalities' Music College and released an EP "Light and Heat" in 2011. Will you continue to work in music?
Li Xirui:I am currently collaborating on the opening and ending songs for TV dramas. In "Pretty Li Huizhen," I sang a duet with Binbin. Previously, I also sang the ending song with Kaiwei in the drama "Hummingbird."
Q3: In "The Ultimate Master," you appeared in ancient costume. Do you prefer ancient or modern dramas? Why?
Li Xirui:They give different feelings. Ancient dramas require hair styling, giving a more elegant and ladylike vibe. Modern dramas are more casual. I can handle both~
Q4: Besides playing Huizhen's best friend in "Pretty Li Huizhen," you also played a loyal and caring bestie in "Dear Translator." Do you think you have a natural affinity for best friend roles?
Li Xirui:My personality is loyal and straightforward, so playing best friend roles is easy for me. The directors are great at casting, and the roles suit me perfectly, so it's like playing myself~ (Through the conversation, I learned that Xirui is a native Beijinger, cheerful and straightforward, a true candid girl.)
Q5: Which role do you think is closest to your real self? What type of role would you like to try next?
Li Xirui:I want to try playing a deaf-mute character, someone who can't speak but conveys emotions through their eyes. I think it would be a challenging way to test my acting skills. Or something like... (I witnessed Xirui instantly get into character, her big eyes losing focus, impressive!)
Q6: In "Pretty Li Huizhen," Xia Qiao is a fashionista. Do you like to follow fashion trends in real life?
Li Xirui:I do follow fashion (At this moment, a fan commented that Xirui has great fashion sense, and Xirui acknowledged the fan's understanding of fashion~~~). Xia Qiao is different from me; I prefer a casual style, but Xia Qiao's outfits are always meticulously styled, like a fashion show. The stylist put a lot of effort into it, so look forward to it. I prefer comfortable clothes with a stylish feel (At this moment, a staff member revealed that Xirui's home clothes are all pink and cute~ I love such insider info~~~ It seems that although Xirui appears cool, she has a girly heart! Fans love this contrast~)
Q7: Which celebrities do you admire in the entertainment industry?
Li Xirui:I admire Mi Jie (Yang Mi) a lot. She is very dedicated, which I respect. Whether filming for her company or other projects, she works tirelessly, even when sick. Her performance as Xue Yuan in "Beauty's Rival in Palace" left a lasting impression on me. (The editor adds: Yang Mi's performance in "Real Men" was also impressive.)
Q8: Goddess, princess, lively, cool; if you had to choose two labels, which would you pick?
Li Xirui:Lively and cool. I seem cool when not speaking, but once I talk, the contrast is evident.
Q9: What book or movie have you recently read or watched? Any thoughts?
Li Xirui:During this trip, I watched "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." It left a deep impression on me. Although I rarely watch fantasy stories, this movie impressed me with the writer's imagination and broadened my own thoughts.
Q10: Do you have a habit of running or exercising in your free time? How often do you exercise?
Li Xirui:I've been doing ballet, stretching, and sit-ups, 30 reps per set, daily to tone my muscles. And most importantly, remember to use Codoon for happy exercise (haha).
Q11: Can you share some tips on maintaining your figure?
Li Xirui:I have a small frame, and at one point, I had a bit of baby fat. I controlled my diet slightly, but now I eat and drink as I please (The editor thinks Xirui is naturally beautiful and can't follow her example, so I'll just eat and drink as usual...).
Q12: Many celebrities participate in marathon events. Would you consider challenging yourself in a marathon?
Li Xirui:I need to train my stamina more because I strive for perfection. If I start running, I want to finish. Currently, my stamina isn't enough for a full marathon, but I'm using Codoon to maintain my exercise routine. Soon, I'll be able to run a marathon~ (We all hope to witness Xirui's journey from never running to completing a marathon. It will be a rewarding and meaningful experience.)
Lastly, please follow Li Xirui and the drama "Pretty Li Huizhen," airing on Hunan TV on January 2nd. Let's see who is the prettiest. Here's a little spoiler: Want to know how the male lead (Sheng Yilun) transforms from a chubby boy to a handsome deputy editor? The drama has the answers and highlights~
