Interviewer: Cherry, your career spans across acting, modeling, film production, fashion design, and songwriting. How did your journey lead you to explore such a wide range of creative fields?
Cherry: Remarkable thanks but not yet, I still have a long way to go. I just keep going non-stop and learn from people who know the field better than I do. That goes for all aspects. Songwriting is my latest venture, and it’s a process of exploration, much like filmmaking. Understanding what you excel at takes time. In designing, the goal is to create visually.
Interviewer: Your work covers diverse creative domains. What or who has been your greatest source of inspiration in each of these areas?
Cherry: For acting, it’s about being considerate to all actors, from leading to background. Good teamwork equals a good day. Modeling involves learning from different looks and postures, and a good shot makes a good product. In film production, budgeting is crucial, and you must work within your means. Fashion design, to me, is about creating a vision, not just for selling. Songwriting is a new frontier; I’m still seeking feedback from professionals.
Interviewer: With experience in acting and film production, how do you navigate the ever-evolving entertainment industry, and what challenges have you overcome to establish yourself?
Cherry: In acting, it’s about taking opportunities, big or small. Navigating the industry requires a mindset switch, taking it step by step. Film production emphasizes effective budgeting, working within your own planning. It’s a lifelong process. Fashion and design happen whenever I find the time.
Interviewer: As a fashion designer, how do you approach creating your designs, and what particular aesthetics or themes do you find most compelling in the world of fashion?
Cherry: Fashion designing is for fun, not for selling. It’s about exploring coloring and combinations. Musical journey and songwriting are too early to judge. As for fashion, designing is more about patience and steadiness.
Interviewer: Your involvement in songwriting adds another layer to your artistic expression. Can you share the story behind one of your favorite songs or an experience that significantly influenced your approach to songwriting?
Cherry: Songwriting involves turning my poetry into music, a collaborative process. One of my favorites is “Foundation of Sorrow” and “The Pretender” by Jackson Browne. His storytelling is exceptional, and Joker Xue’s lyrics are all about existence.
Interviewer: How has being based in New York influenced your creative pursuits and career choices?
Cherry: I admire and appreciate all cultures. Creative pursuits involve never looking down on others, avoiding negativity, and interacting with people who make you better. Traveling is part of life; you travel every day.
Interviewer: Your website mentions a love for travel. How have your travels impacted your perspective on creativity, and are there any specific locations that left a lasting impression on your work?
Cherry: Travel is work-related, and I love scenery. It’s about interacting with people that make you better.
Interviewer: Could you share insights into your work at Cee Media Productions? Any upcoming projects or initiatives that you’re excited about?
Cherry: Ceemedia’s last film for the year is “These Unnoticed Tears.” It explores the deepest parts of ourselves, focusing on the unnoticed people. I’m happy with the results, and I’m excited about future projects.
Interviewer: Reflecting on your career, what are your goals and aspirations for 2024? Any new projects or challenges on the horizon?
Cherry: 2024 is a mix of good and bad. Challenges are ahead, but life is better. Balancing multiple roles requires four hours of sleep a day. It won’t work in a month or a year; it takes time to build. Keep going, struggles are part of the process. Art takes time in all fields.
Interviewer: How do you manage to balance these different aspects of your career, and any advice for aspiring individuals looking to pursue a similarly diverse path in the creative industry?
Cherry: I sleep only four hours a day, half in the morning and half in the afternoon. Balance is key, and remember you’re still young. It won’t happen in a month or a year, so be patient and build it up. Struggles are part of the journey, and art takes time in all fields. Let’s talk about that later.
