Luckily, actress Yung Mei Ling (re: Picture) was chosen to act as Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She is happy and frightened. Recording of this TV series has started. Its a heavy burden for Yung Mei Ling as she worries about her performance.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not her first TV series in which she performs. Before Yung Mei Ling has some experiences in playing in the TV series “The Legend of the Unknowns”.
Yung Mei Ling says: In the beginning, I was very scared in front of camera but I get more comfortable on camera now. However, the character in “The Legend of the Unknowns” is different from the character that I was in “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” so I cannot apply my previous experiences to deal with this task. In fact, I am still frightened when I play in this TV series.
The first part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is being filed now. At this stage Yung Mei Ling does not require act much. However, she needed to play as a beggar in a few scenes. She was required to wear ruined clothes and her face was painted with black greasepaint. For sure, this did not feel good.
Yung Mei Ling says: No! It was good fun. I never did it before. I felt good to try it on. That’s why everyone said actor’s life is interesting and exciting. I thought the reason was that an actor can play different kind of characters.
