Interviews roundup!
So the boys have been going on a lot of shows and stuff lately to promote their new EP. Here are some of the latest. YouTube links thanks to the wonderful puizzTC!
♥ Sohu "Star Talk" 搜狐明星在线 (April 27)
Sorry, no one seems to have uploaded this one to YouTube, but you can watch it HERE. And here are some cute pictures from the interview.
- Ma Xueyang is the best cook.
- Zhang Yuan and Li Mao have to shave more often than the others because their beards grow more quickly.
- Xiao Wu says he didn't shave for one month, and all he got were little spots instead of a full mustache.
- Xiao Wu loses things a lot, lol. Once he lost an iPhone 3 that someone had given him and cried about it. Another time he left his iPhone behind him on the airplane and cried about it again. And then another time, when TC went to Korea for "Qi Tian Da Sheng," he left his iPhone in his pants, and it got put in the wash. Another time he left his computer behind because it was in a separate bag, but he didn't cry about it because he'd already gotten used to losing things.
- Xiao Wu also lost Zhang Yuan's iPad, ahahaha.

- Zhang Yuan and Xiao Mei are also working on songs (hopefully we'll see them in their next album!).
- The hostess asks how much of their time they spend together, and Xiao Mei replies that he feels like all of his time is taken up by TC. Even when he's not with them, he'll think about what the others are doing.
- Zhang Yuan never actively suggests that they all go out and eat or hang out together, so whenever he does suggest it, it's really awkward.
- Li Mao likes to take pictures and videos of the other members.
- Ma Xueyang has pretty much the same smile in everything.
- TC says they want to have another concert this year.
- Li Mao teared up when he saw all their fans at their concert last year.

- They said the difference between recording in the US and recording in China is that when they recorded the parts where they were supposed to sing together, they sang it together, at the same time, in the US, but in China they record their parts separately.
- "Zai Lu Shang" is supposed to be a song that talks about TC's relationship and how they want to always be together, following after Arrival's "Next Stop, Forever" and Qi Tian Da Sheng's "Guang Mang."

Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVM2-nKrYHM
- They play games with Idol Girls.
- Cutest part was when they played a game that involved Chinese phrases/idioms as the answer, and Xiao Wu simply walked away because he didn't understand any of them, lol. And then when the game involved looking at a picture and identifying what it was, Xiao Wu said "butterfly," and the answer was "kite" (in the shape of a butterfly), and he pointed at it and was all "It's a butterfly! It's a butterfly!" <333 UNFAIRRR.
- Another game tested the players' sense of time. Participants would be asked questions and would have to answer them. When they think 30 seconds have passed, they would hold up a sign. Kind of a boring game, but omg the questions (and Zhang Yuan's answers), lol:
Girl: What did you eat for breakfast?
Zhang Yuan: This morning... Instant noodles.
Girl: How tall are you?
Zhang Yuan: 1.81m
Girl: What was your ex-girlfriend called?
Zhang Yuan: .........Can I not answer this?
Girl: No!
Zhang Yuan: Uh... her nickname was Lang Lang (狼狼).
Girl: Who is more handsome, me or Zhang Ziyi? I mean, more beautiful.
Zhang Yuan: ...Zhang Ziyi.
