Johnny di-CP-kan dengan Jin Chen 🥰.
Kat sana ada kelompok fans yang dipanggil CP Fans. CP fans ni golongan yang suka pada couple-couple pilihan. Ada lagi satu kelompok namanya Solo Fans. Solo fans ni tak kisah actor tu nak kawen ke, nak bercinta ke, gasak. Solo fans hanya fokus pada career actor saja. Like me, aku kategori solo fans.
Kali pertama Johnny di-CP-kan adalah between him and Timmy Xu. Ini impak dari drama Addicted. Yang CP-kan dorang ni adalahg geng-geng main bontot kat sauna.
Kali kedua di-CP-kan adalah baru-baru ni. Between dia and Jin Chen! 🤣 Unsangkarable dorang berdua ni boleh di-CP-kan. Oh baideway between Johnny and Dilreba bukan CP, ya. Itu gossip saja. CP is couple gossip yang “diapproved” oleh netizen.
Ceritanya gini, Natural High season kali ni, Johnny nampak close dengan Jin Chen. Selalu sangat dorang berdua ni duduk sebelah-sebelah. Salah sorang member Natural High is Shen Teng. Shen Teng ni big brother yang disegani. Dia punya EQ, high. Dia jenis yang takkan bercakap sesuatu yang dia tak tahu.
Ada beberapa episod Shen Teng cakap kat Jin Chen and Johnny:
“Stop acting out a romantic drama there”
“Top-tier actors are here performing just for you”
“If you can’t finish it, share with him”
Shen Teng takkan berseloroh kalau benda tu tak betul. Umur Shen Teng tu baya aku, 48. At this age I tell tu, it’s either we say or we don’t. This age takde masa nak berbasa-basi sembang kosong. So when Shen Teng cakap macam tu, antara dua je. Either Shen Teng knows a whole lot more than what’s shown on screen, OR he’s deliberately pushing them together because he sees something we’re all seeing too. Aha!
Johnny and Jin Chen belum pernah ada drama bersama. Dorang start kerjasama last year dalam Natural High Season 2. Masa tu Johnny hanya guest member. Then tahun ni dorang sama-sama terlibat dengan program variety Top Car Racer. Jin Chen satu-satunya perempuan racer dalam program tu. Dalam that program, dia banyak aktiviti pair dengan Johnny. And Johnny menjaga dia sepanjang program tu. Tapi masa tu takdelah nak kecoh sangat sebab Jin Chen sorang je perempuan. Logiklah kalau dia dijaga.
Bila dua-dua ditemukan balik dalam Natural High Season 3 tahun ni, this is the 3rd time dorang kerjasama. Maknanya dah boleh get along. Ahli Natural High pulak jenis bongok-bongok perangai semuanya. Jadi dorang semua rapat. Susah nak nampak samada dorang berdua dah start bercinta.
Ahli-ahli Natural High ada persamaan iaitu masing-masing pernah collab with each other. Contoh:
1. Johnny + Shen Teng = Pegasus 1, Pegasus 2 and Pegasus 3
2. Johnny + Jia Bing = Our Dazzling Days
3. Jin Chen + Wang Anyu = Falling into You
4. Jin Chen + Bai Jingting = Always on the Move
Natural High banyak buat aktiviti bongok-bongok. Peluang Johnny and Jin Chen nak close tu ada. Tapi penonton masih ok je lagi time ni. Tak expect apa-apa pun sebab tahu ahli-ahli Natural High memang sporting semuanya.
Until-lah kat Milan. Kejadian dorang berdua share ice-cream meledak kat Weibo. Johnny jarang ada candid moments macam tu dengan mana-mana perempuan. Even dengan co-star pun takde. Dia always dengan hal sendiri. Video share ice cream tu trending 3 hari kat Weibo. Sampai orang kata takde orang boleh naik story kat Hot Topics hanya kerana makan aiskrim, but Johnny 😆. Sejak dari tu audience follow rapat and peratikan je dua orang ni dalam episod-episod seterusnya.
Sekarang Natural High dah habis. Dah takde peluang nak tengok hint-hint macam ni lagi. Tapi kat Weibo masih ada yang ship dorang berdua.
Kalau dari pandangan mata aku, Johnny and Jin Chen nampak close tapi gaya-gaya bercinta tu macam takde. Itu dari observation aku lah. Sebab now pun Johnny back to filming tapi tak tahulah kot-kot dorang masih at early stage. Cuma yang best tu sebab CP between Johnny and Jin Chen tenang and takde bangkangan dari sesiapa. Macam semua pun approved. Maybe sebab karakter Johnny and Jin Chen sama-sama gila and lasak. Both of them pun tak pretentious or jenis nak menjaga imej 24/7. Sekufulah nampaknya. Tu yang audience rasa dorang sherashi bershama agaknya.
Hint terkuat sekarang adalah Shen Teng. Sebab ada beberapa kali Shen Teng tease dorang with I-know-something-you-don’t know smile 😆. Sangat suspicious cara Shen Teng senyum. Orang-orang yang makan garam ni observe lebih sikit selalunya. Anyways, if this turns into a real-life CP one day, we all saw it coming. Sebab fans follow rapat dari rancangan Top Car Racer lagi.
Kalau tengok part ni pun dah sesuatu. Dalam aktiviti ni, dorang kena melakonkan watak confession pada someone yang dorang suka. Skrip semua buat sendiri. Masa ni Shen Teng cakap "Johnny, you only needs courage.." Masa ni belum kat Milan. Masih di China. Hari tu masa tengok ni takde rasa apa-apa. Now tengok balik, like wow Shen Teng, is this your biggest hint to us?
If Johnny betul dengan Jin Chen rasanya fans takde masalah. Sebab dua-dua low profile, jenis buat hal sendiri, sama-sama bukan traffic actor dan perangai gila-gila. Johnny sesuai dengan perempuan macam ni. Dulu kena gossip dengan traffic actor macam Dilreba tu ya ampunnn kecohnya macam nak kiamat! Ni kena CP dengan Jin Chen aman-aman je aku tengok. Age-wise, Johnny 33, Jin Chen 35. No problem at all sebab Johnny gayanya matang. Tak nampak muda dari Jin Chen lansung.
Then ada satu lagi cerita, on birthday Johnny hari tu, ada satu post went viral. Iaitu post dari bekas assistant Johnny. Aku translate siap-siap untuk korang baca. Sangat heart-breaking 💔. Tapi so much thanks kepada ex-assistant dia sebab berani buat post ni.
I worked as Jingyu's assistant for 4 years, from 2019 to 2023, witnessing his highlights, but I also saw him hiding in the hotel room wiping out tears. Last year, due to illness in the family, I resigned. Before I left, he gave me a red envelope, saying, "Over the years you've worked hard, take good care of your family from now on," in a tone so light that he didn't seem to want to bother me.
Come to think of it, if he's so careful even with an assistant, how could he be the "negligible man" who circulates online?
Now, the announcement of his new drama Winner has been shared by the CCTV channel, many praising him for "fighting and turning around in the wave of the season."
When CCTV starts saying your name, that’s when you know you’re not just ordinary. Finally Jingyu is officially recognized.
Looking at the screen for a while, I felt like revealing some things that have been in my heart. What you see is the story "the heartthrob wrapped in six years of rumors is still reborn," but you don't know that at the height of rumors of pregnancy in 2023, he nearly gave up his career.
[rumours pregnancy ni between dia and Dilreba. Orang tuduh dorang berdua ada anak luar nikah]
At the time, rumors were circulating that "the actress" was pregnant with him. Someone even forged exams, with details: "Private doctor in Shanghai for pregnancy rest."
I remember that once, at 3 am in the morning, he took me to the hotel room, with a pile of screenshots of angry comments from netizens. The cruelest comment said "Huang Jingyu, get out of the entertainment, don't get in the way of her!!
[“Her” tu referring to Dilreba]
He asked me “Did I really make a mistake?” with red eyes. He cried.
On another day, we were surrounded by people with signs calling Johnny a "negligible man" and shouting accusations about "her." They even threw a bottle of water near him. I tried to stay in front of him, but he pulled me back and took the bottle, politely throwing it in the trash, without saying anything.
In that period, many suggested that he go public to defend himself. Evidence was gathered. I gathered all documents that could, that in minutes could clear his name. But he just shook his head and said, "If I talk, I can hurt someone who doesn't deserve it."
[Bab inilah yang aku pernah sembang dengan team Whale Guardian dulu. Kitorang assume salah satu sebab Johnny tak pernah buat statement pasal gossip dia and Dilreba adalah kerana dia taknak memalukan Dilreba. Nanti fans bongok Dilreba anggap seolah-olah Dilreba kena reject pulak]
So he asked me to send everything to “her” team, saying they would know what to do. He preferred to be attacked in to allow his response to put even more pressure on “her”.
He is a person who doesn't chase hype. When Ace Troops won the Eagle Awards he didn't go to the red carpet, he preferred to stay filming Bright Eyes in The Dark. He’s always been like that. Award events simply aren’t his thing. Just look at today, despite it being his birthday, he didn’t cancel filming and continued working as usual.
In 2021, an appearance on a reality show would pay 3x more than he would earn in acting. He declined politely, “I'm just an actor, not a star." He still thinks he’s not the kind of star people want to see.
In 2022, the great director Yimou invited him to a special participation in a S+ movie, a good opportunity to get him out of the rumors, but he refused because he had just received offer for The First Shot where director waited 4 year for him to play the role.
For the role of Lin Luxiao (watak dia dalam Bright Eyes in the Dark), Johnny trained and worked at firefighters stations for 4 months and wrote everything down. When the director saw it, the director said, “This role can only be of intelligence, he understands intelligence better than I do."
The day I left, he himself drove me to the train station. We talked about family and he handed over the red envelope and said “Do the right thing, don't be afraid to wait".
Fame was never his focus. And staying silent when the rumors spread was never about guilt, it was his way of refusing to hand more weapons to the people trying to tear him down.
Sedih baca post ex-assistant ni. Part yang pukul 3 pagi dia kejut assistant sambil bawak all print outs komen-komen hatred and tanya “Did I make a mistake?” — Allah sedihnya.
Kalau aku jadi assistant dia, aku cakap YES! Your mistake adalah bersetuju berlakon dengan traffic actor (Dilreba). Traffic actor punya fans mostly cibai. Fans dorang semua berlagak. Actor dorang terpaling best, terpaling hebat and terpaling famous. Siapa berlakon dengan actor dorang semua kena cop menumpang glamour. Masalahnya traffic actor kat China satu award prestige pun tak pernah sangkut! Nomination pun tak lepas!! Famous sebab imej je lebih.
Aku takde masalah dengan actor, tapi fans dorang. Contohnya fans Dilreba. Terpaling cibai. Sampaikan kat poster drama dorang berdua, production letak nama Johnny depan dari nama Dilreba pun dorang sakit hati and edit the poster letakkan nama Dilreba di depan. Macam tu sekali cibainya perangai.
Ini screenshot semalam. Aku kan sedang istiqomah menge-share drama The First Shot. Kalau IGS tu tak limit sampai 100 stories, aku dah tepek semua episod dah. Bersabar ya kepada yang menonton. Aku share sampai habis. This drama memang best. Best Drama 2024 kot! Dan yang paling best, ini adalah kategori S+ drama.
S+ ni kategori drama/movie yang very high impact. Producer drama The First Shot is Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou ni filem under dia banyak Box Office. Dah tua dah, umur 75 tahun. Dia ni la yang peram skrip The First Shot 4 tahun sebab nak Johnny carry watak utama. Panjang umur nak tengok Johnny berlakon production dia.
Cerita ni bertambah best sebab 2 orang pelakon terbaik Asia ada dalam satu frame. Johnny won Best Newcomer di Asia Film Award tahun 2019, at the same time Zhang Yu (yang jadi jahat, Jiang Xiao Hai) menang Best Supporting Actor di malam yang sama. Seeing two Asian award recipients in one drama is just wow!
By the way, bila tengok balik video-video ni kan aku notice yang Johnny "berubah" sejak kawan dengan Jin Chen. Dia mana pernah layan buat video-video gini before this. Tapi dengan Jin Chen somehow dia let loose. Hilang sungguh karakter polis and military dia.
