Due to his profession and popularity, there are countless 'Xiao Zhan's' that have emerged: large portraits on high-end shopping mall facades, the roles in the films and dramas being released, or the images on the covers. But the origin of all this fragmentation is @X玖少年团肖战DAYTOY, who is poised and relaxed. The glitz seen by the outside world is an added value for him; he wants to focus more on refining the complexity of his characters.

@X玖少年团肖战DAYTOY believes in simplicity. However, in acting, he increasingly enjoys multi-faceted and complex characters, or rather, this is a kind of authentic state of human existence. In an age where everything is being simplified, acknowledging the differences between people, seeking possibilities for communication, staying sensitive, and defending complexity must require passion and courage. #XiaoZhanELLELightAndShadowFilm# #XiaoZhanStayCuriousAndExplore# #XiaoZhanELLEGoldenSeptemberCover#

Now, 8 years have passed since @X玖少年团肖战DAYTOY acted for the first time. Looking at his resume, he has played the leading roles in various genres of film and television. Yet, he still feels like a newcomer and hopes to collaborate with more experienced production teams in the future. He doesn't think too much; he actually doesn't have a clear understanding of the work plan divided by year. What he cares about is only the upcoming stage's work arrangements, not 'to ask about things too far away.' #XiaoZhanELLELightAndShadowFilm# #XiaoZhanStayCuriousAndExplore# #XiaoZhanELLEGoldenSeptemberCover#

Two black curtains reach the ceiling of the studio, neatly isolating the shooting area from the surroundings, and one must pass through them like a maze to enter the most core little space. Pure white, cool air, the sounds of the camera shutter are high-frequency and continuous. @X玖少年团肖战DAYTOY is dressed in black, seldom making any unnecessary movements. When the lights broke, and photography paused, he maintained a pose with one foot resting on a wooden box, standing in the dark; while staff and photographers discussed photos and adjusted looks, he stood quietly in front of the display screen, with the faint glow of the screen enveloping him... We recorded Xiao Zhan from another angle.

In the middle of the interview, @X玖少年团肖战DAYTOY suddenly expressed his contradictory feelings about long interviews. On one hand, he worries about not growing enough and showing shyness during the conversation; on the other hand, he wants to delve into certain subtle emotions through talking, as he feels he is not good at documenting them with words. Observing, feeling, understanding, and expressing—these are the essential qualities that allow actors to bring creativity. 'Dialogue is also muscle memory,' Xiao Zhan said, 'Although I am very outgoing, I am not reclusive. Because I think actors need to learn to express, to express what you feel inside, and to digest what is transmitted to you.' #XiaoZhanELLELightAndShadowPhotoshoot# #XiaoZhanStayCuriousAndExplorative# #XiaoZhanELLESeptemberCover#
