ELLE：Among Jaeger-LeCoultre’s astronomically inspired timepieces, what design appeals to you the most?
As I just said, the shooting stars on the dial are amazing and very attractive to me. With such an ingenious design, it is hard to imagine how the watchmakers of the big workshop turned it into a timepiece. It is very innovative and makes me more interested in the limited-time experience of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Starry Sky legend theme that I will visit later. curious.
ELLE：Are you interested in topics related to astronomy or constellations? What is the biggest attraction of the starry sky for you?
For me, the biggest charm of the starry sky is the unknown. While sighing at the vastness of the universe, I will also realize my insignificance, and I will cherish the good times of the moment even more.
ELLE：Do you own a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch? Which is your favorite?
I like many Jaeger-LeCoultre watch collections. Personally, I would prefer the Reverso series watch. A watch has a double-sided dial, which represents different atmospheres and moods at the same time. It is elegant and modern, and can well meet the needs of daily wear.

ELLE：In recent years, most of your film and television roles have been dominated by the image of a big woman. Will you challenge some other types of roles in the future?
For actors, they definitely want to constantly break through themselves and challenge some roles and fields that they have not been involved in before. Of course, this also depends on the next script, and I am looking forward to the characters I will meet in the future.
ELLE：Do you think there is a style match between watches and clothing? How do you usually deal with it?
There is definitely a stylistic match between watches and clothing. If it is for daily wear, I mostly choose watches with simple structure and relatively practical, which can improve the styling texture. If I attend an event, I may choose a more decorative watch to add highlights to the overall look.
