Ou Han-shen Launches New Show with Lin Xiang and Zhang Li-dong, Hopes to Test Learning Outcomes

(Central News Agency, reporter Hong Sujin, Taipei, 3rd) Entertainer Ou Han-shen is teaming up with Lin Xiang and Zhang Li-dong to host a new show. Ou said this show is a perfect opportunity to test the results of his learning under mentor Hu Gua. He described his past role as mostly a supporting act, but now he must learn to control the pace himself, calling it a great learning and training ground.

Regarding the new show "Ou Yeah Number One" with Lin Xiang and Zhang Li-dong, Ou shared his excitement upon receiving the hosting invitation via a press release. "I'm very excited. It's been 8 or 9 years since I last hosted a show on my own." He also mentioned he has always wanted a daily show to verify how much he has improved after spending so many years by his master Hu Gua's side.

Ou admitted that in the past, he was often a supporting role in shows. "Studio shows are very particular about rhythm, so this is also a great learning and training ground for me."

Facing the pressure of carrying the ratings alone, Ou was candid. "Our time slot is the same as Xiao S and A-Ken. But I don't think we are rivals; we are working together to pull the audience back in front of the TV to watch shows. I think this is also one of my work wishes."

Speaking of co-host Zhang Li-dong, Ou gave him high praise, calling him an excellent new hosting talent. "I think he has great potential." In response, Zhang Li-dong humbly said, "He watched me go from a nobody to an entertainer, and now from an entertainer to a host. Hosting a show with him feels like being checked by a master. So it's impossible to say there's no pressure; the pressure is actually quite high."

Lin Xiang has done a lot of homework for the show. "I often watch old variety shows. Whenever I see funny clips or behind-the-scenes footage online, I save them for reference." Ou is also looking forward to working with Lin Xiang and is optimistic about her career development. "She is our popularity queen; she's even famous in Japan. I hope to see Lin Xiang shine in Japan one day." (Editor: Lung Po-an) 1150603
