# Chen Fei Yu Shares Insights on Film Industry and Life
20 April 2023
In an interview at the premiere of his latest film, "Double Happiness", young actor Chen Fei Yu shared his thoughts on the impact of "luck" in the entertainment industry. The 25-year-old star admitted that luck is a nebulous concept that actors cannot control, and emphasized the importance of focusing on their craft as performers.
"Luck is an abstract concept that can't be controlled by human," said Chen Fei Yu at the premier of his latest film "Double Happiness". Despite working late into the night, he remained humble and professional, demonstrating his dedication to his craft.
The actor also acknowledged the challenges facing the industry, including increased competition from other production companies such as iQiyi, which produced the popular web series "Nightfall" and CatchPlay's epic fantasy drama. Despite these obstacles, Chen Fei Yu remains optimistic about his future in the film industry.
As the son of a successful businessman, Chen Fei Yu has been fortunate enough to work with some of the best production companies in China. He credits his success to hard work and dedication, rather than luck or connections. "Big businesses have good resources," he said, "[but] I don't think my luck is bad."
Chen Fei Yu also took a moment to address rumors about his relationship with co-star Li Xiaolu, who played the female lead in "Double Happiness". "We are just saying that Chen Fei Yu and Han Hao Rui can do it too," he said playfully. "I don't have anything against [Li Xiaolu], but I really wonder why there is such a strong preference for male actors."
Despite the challenges of working in the entertainment industry, Chen Fei Yu remains committed to his craft and urges others to do the same. "Each one has their own role," he said. "The scriptwriter writes good scripts, the director directs well, the cameraman shoots well, the actor plays the character well, and the sound engineer makes sure the sound is good."
Chen Fei Yu also offered some words of wisdom for aspiring actors, encouraging them to prioritize hard work and dedication over luck
