Ali Lee Is Nervous About First Role in Theater Play

The stage play The Hell of Hello <見面即地獄> held a press conference on September 24. The cast had only been revealed to include Chan Cham-man (陳湛文), Dee@ERROR (何啟華), and Lau Yi-lam (劉漪琳), plus a mysterious TV Queen. Today it was officially announced that the mysterious star is Ali Lee (李佳芯)!

Co-Stars Disagree with Her Self-Appraisal

Ali said she was very nervous about performing in a stage play for the first time, feeling small and uneasy. “Because I’ve really never done a stage play before. During the read-through, every line I said felt like it was wrong or didn’t fit,” Chan Cham-man, hearing this, immediately teased her. “This is clearly the classmate who says they didn’t study, then gets a high score on the exam.” Dee agreed, saying, “Try drawing her blood right now—it’d test as ‘actor,’ it’s in her blood.” However, Ali also said that after finishing ViuTV’s Long Vacation <悠長假期>, she wants to take some classes to make up for her lack of experience.

This time, Chan Cham-man will have more scenes with Ali, and Cham-man has always been paying attention to her. “She’s someone who radiates light on camera, very memorable, so I’m really looking forward to working together.” Dee, on the other hand, has more scenes with Lau Yi-lam. “Actually, I’m a bit nervous. There’s a scene that looks quite bold even on paper—quite naked, I mean psychologically—so we haven’t discussed how to handle it yet,” As for his beard, that’s for a Chinese New Year film—it has nothing to do with the stage play.

When asked whether she finds MIRROR’s Edan Lui () or Dee funnier to work with after having worked with Edan, Ali said, “Different levels, can’t be ranked. With Edan, I can talk complete nonsense. Just now doing the interview with Dee, I had to figure out which sentence was true and which was false—you have to think really fast. It’s brain-burning, it’s hell.” Dee immediately jumped in: “She means I’m more high-class, higher-class than Edan, and more like Kimura than Edan.” Ali immediately clarified that the above was not her personal opinion.
