[Epoch Times, March 12, 2022](Comprehensive report by Epoch Times reporter Tong Yijia) The mainland actress Xiong Dailin, who made her debut as a model, returned to the Hong Kong drama “Family Glory” after giving birth. During the interview, she described her performance status: “During filming, I cried for several nights in a row, and I couldn’t stop after entering the play. I kept crying even when the director called me.”
Xiong Dailin, who married Hong Kong wealthy businessman Guo Kesong six years ago, gave birth to twin daughters in 2018. She came back after giving birth, and the Hong Kong drama “Family Glory” that she participated in last year was being broadcast a few days ago. In the latest plot, the wealthy wife Ye Caiwei, played by her, broke down and cried out of control after being kicked out by her own daughter for her trick to cause an abortion. Many netizens commented on Xiong Dailin’s expressive expression, explaining the character’s inner struggle. Some netizens also laughed and said, “This role is so entertaining.”
Xiong Dailin revealed in an interview that although the filming of the scene was very hard, it was very enjoyable to act. She sighed: “I have never tried to make a role like this. I cried for several nights during the filming, and I couldn’t stop after I entered the movie. Even when the director called the card, I kept crying until the staff couldn’t answer it. I.”
In addition, in order to speak Cantonese lines well, Xiong Dailin spent a lot of effort. Actor Guo Zhenghong, who plays the “husband” as his partner, also confirmed that Xiong Dailin had to memorize the dialogue until he was thoroughly familiar before arriving at the shooting site. Therefore, the audience generally reported that Xiong Dailin’s Cantonese had improved very much.
Xiong Dailin, who plays the rich wife in the play, is married to the billionaire Guo Kesong in real life. When asked “whether the wealthy life in the play is the same as reality”, she emphasized that it is very different from her usual life. The wealthy young grandma in the play wears beautiful clothes every day to drink afternoon tea and party life. She lives in reality. She has never experienced it before, but stayed at home for a long time to take care of her children, which also became an opportunity for her to come back to film.
After the 41-year-old Xiong Dailin got married and gave birth to a daughter, she focused her life on her family. She, who has been out of the public eye for many years, emphasized in the interview: “The reason why I want to come back to film is because I have always liked to be an actor. And because I haven’t filmed for a few years, I really want to come out and try it.”
Talking about the 6-year life in a wealthy family, Xiong Dailin said bluntly that “it seems like I am trapped at home” and “it seems that I have lost myself”, so I really want to find myself and my career again. She thanked the wealthy businessman’s husband for his great support, who not only helped take care of the two children, but was also a big fan of hers.
