Tianjin wedding photography. The night before last, at the recording site of the "True LIVE True Music" collaboration between Guangdong TV and MTV, the appearance of Sun Nan and Gu Juji, this "fresh duo," caused bursts of applause from the audience. Sun Nan and Gu Juji didn't disappoint the audience. Besides singing their own works, they also sang each other's classic songs. Their duets of "At Least There Is You," "Love Trap," "Friends," among others, brought the atmosphere on-site to a climax.
After finishing the recording late into the night, Sun Nan still kept his promise and accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter. Regarding the "false girl" phenomenon in television talent shows, Sun Nan frankly said, "Liu Zhuo might as well go to a masquerade ball."

Talent Shows:
Only by being meticulous can we select talented singers.
Guangzhou Daily: What is the difference between your duet with Jackie Chan for the Asian Games song "Blue Sky" and the Olympic song "Forever Friends" you sang before?
Sun Nan: Mainly the collaborators are different, haha. The closing ceremony of the Olympics featured "Forever Friends" sung with A-Mei, while this time it was with Big Brother Jackie Chan. In fact, "Blue Sky" was written according to my usual pitch. I thought I would need to adjust for Big Brother, but later when we sang together, I found out that he sings very well and doesn't need me to accommodate him. Moreover, Jackie Chan is an international superstar; his voice embodies both the spirit of Chinese people and the indomitable martial arts spirit. It's great. Personally, I am very optimistic about the song "Blue Sky." It will be highly popular.
Guangzhou Daily: Currently, music talent shows on television are also very popular. Have you noticed these programs?
Sun Nan: I know about them. "The Palace Scheme" was accused of plagiarizing "Dae Jang Geum," yet its ratings did not drop but instead increased. Programs like "Happy Boys" and "Super Girls," I know all about them. I fully approve of the format of these programs. In our era, there were no such talent shows. To become famous, one had to take many detours. But I also want to express my views. I hope similar programs are done more meticulously so that truly talented singers can be selected, bringing fresh blood to the music industry. Of course, they have selected some good singers, like Zhang Liangying.
Guangzhou Daily: Have you heard of Liu Zhuo, who recently became famous on "Happy Boys"? How do you view the "false girl" phenomenon?
Sun Nan: Liu Zhuo? False girl? (Staff beside him repeatedly reminded.) Oh, I've heard about it. The "false girl" phenomenon is not strange. There is also a cosplay trend in places like Japan, but this seems incompatible with music talent shows like "Happy Boys." Does every contestant need to dress up strangely to get attention on the stage of "Happy Boys"? Let me suggest something. Liu Zhuo might as well participate in a costume party or a cosplay competition. Such occasions would suit him better.
Self-deprecating Remarks:
It's regrettable that Ge You took away the "Broom Award"
Guangzhou Daily: Can you introduce your newly released album "The Joy of Living"?
Sun Nan: "The Joy of Living" features both electronic and dance tracks, as well as rock, but overall, it still leans towards pop music. Compared to other albums, the new one has definitely changed, but change is easy; the key is how to change for the better. I cannot completely deny the previous Sun Nan. I can only transform in a direction that is "very Sun Nan" and better.
Guangzhou Daily: Last year, you starred in the movie "Pirate Cat." Are you planning to develop in the film and television industry?
Sun Nan: Although I have won many music awards, I didn't expect to receive a film award after acting in a movie - "Pirate Cat" was nominated for the "Golden Broom Award Best Actor!" Do you know what the Golden Broom is? It sweeps audiences out of the cinema. But I really hoped to receive this award at the time. I even prepared a speech to give upon receiving the award: "Thank you to my parents, thank you to the organizing committee," but unexpectedly, the award was not given to me; it went to Ge You, haha. After being nominated for the "Golden Broom Award Best Actor," I don't have any plans in this aspect. Should I hope to be nominated again?
"False Girl" Liu Zhuo Refuses Male Attire
Misses Out on National Top 300
In the weekend's "Happy Boys" competition on Hunan TV, "false girl" representative Liu Zhuo was eliminated in the Chengdu district's top 25 advancement round, missing out on the national top 300. It's reported that Liu Zhuo hasn't yet decided whether to participate in the revival competition.
During the competition that evening, Liu Zhuo remained very feminine, stepping onto the stage in high heels. His rendition of "Legend" was full of tenderness. Meanwhile, contestants in his group chose songs that were very masculine. After Liu Zhuo finished singing "Legend," judge Wu Qixian said, "Your performance has improved a lot, bringing me a gentle shock. You have already become a small prototype of a legend, but whether you can become a timeless legend depends on how you proceed in the future." After the competition, when asked if he would willingly change back to male attire to secure an advancement spot, Liu Zhuo firmly stated, "No."
