Actors Playfully Tease Each Other While Promoting New Drama 'Becoming Famous'

Actors Li Guoyi, Yao Chunyao, and Cai Gengyan are generating buzz for their upcoming MyVideo drama "Becoming Famous," where they portray high school best friends whose lives diverge significantly over time. During a promotional interview, the trio engaged in a playful session of roasting each other's characters, offering a glimpse into the show's dynamics.

Li Guoyi introduced Cai Gengyan's character, a woman who marries into wealth, jokingly congratulating her on achieving her goal but quipping that "rich life is not as exciting as expected." Cai Gengyan retaliated by teasing Yao Chunyao about past family troubles, asking if he was happy and encouraging him to "keep going." Yao Chunyao, in turn, described Li Guoyi's character as someone who "will never get promoted, always putting himself last." This lighthearted banter highlighted the strong chemistry between the actors, mirroring the close bond of their characters in the series.

Cai Gengyan's character, Wei Xinyu, finds herself caught between the two male leads, Chen Zhiwei (Li Guoyi) and Luo Guanhau (Yao Chunyao). When asked whom she would choose if she were Wei Xinyu, Cai Gengyan humorously stated, "Only children make choices, I want both." She elaborated that her character, in high school, didn't fully understand love but enjoyed the happiness and care she received from both friends. Ultimately, she suggested Luo Guanhau would be a suitable boyfriend for dating, while Chen Zhiwei would be an ideal husband for marriage, a sentiment the male leads agreed with.

The drama "Becoming Famous" explores the divergent life paths of three young friends who harbored dreams in their youth. Yao Chunyao shared a humorous childhood ambition of "selling cleaning cloths," inspired by the requirement for students to bring one to school. Cai Gengyan recounted drawing a microphone in sixth grade, aspiring to sing on stage, a dream she feels has now come true through her role as an idol singer in the drama. Li Guoyi, more pragmatically, stated his dream was simply to do his current job well and collaborate with actors he admires, adding with a laugh that his dream was to become an actor, which he has achieved.
