The popular web drama "My Babylonian Lover" tells the story of the lonely Chen Meiru (played by Bu Guanjin) on the day of her 24th birthday, suddenly "summoned" to a strange prince (played by Feng Xiaoyue), and the two have since begun a series of ridiculous stories. A few days ago, Feng Xiaoyue said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing News that the similarities between the "prince" in the play and himself are very generous, "very willing to believe others, and even believe in others at once." ”

At the beginning of the whole play, when the heroine Chen Meiru enjoys the joy of her birthday, suddenly a man dressed as an ancient Babylon appears at the party, and the man claims to be a "prince" and is born to love Chen Meiru. Chen Meiru thought at first that this was a prank prepared by her friend, but when the prince said his name and story, Chen Meiru was very surprised, because the "prince" turned out to be a character made up in her maiden diary. The whole story is full of magic comedy, such as the male protagonist came to this world with the setting of "Xiao Yong is good at war, handsome and wild", but he does not have the basic survival skills in this world, he does not understand the boundaries of human interaction, and he also "demolishes the family" every day, causing Chen Meiru a lot of trouble.
Feng Xiaoyue confessed that it was its comedy part that attracted her to "My Babylonian Lover", and she liked the "absurdity" of the story. In his opinion, the "prince" in the play has his own very lonely side, "I think his loneliness is a reason for him to do a lot of things, for me this loneliness is very mysterious, I have been looking for this thing (loneliness) when I am performing." 」 ”

Beijing News: Do you think there is any difference between love in the play and in reality?
Feng Xiaoyue: The thing about love, it is just not very realistic. But we must help everyone find some balance in real life, so that everyone has psychological space to fall in love in the busy life.
