Kapanlagi.com - Rico Tian's name is well known as the King of Bigo. His achievements in Bigo earned him the TOP Global Host 2020 award from Bigo at the Bigo Awards Gala 2020. The event took place at the Capitol Theatre in Singapore.

Previously, Rico often appeared in several soap operas and FTV. Most recently, he was involved in the soap opera Putih Abu Abu on SCTV. After that, he focused more on Bigo and created several web series productions.

After years of not acting, Rico now admits that he is ready to return to the world of soap operas. "Yes, if I can go back to soap operas, I'm ready. So, I'll do Bigo and soap operas," he said.

Realizing that the soap opera industry now also presents many new young stars, Rico is not discouraged. To hone his acting skills, Rico has started learning again. One of them is by watching more foreign films.

If given the choice, Rico admits that he is challenged to play far outside his character. For example, like a psychopath. "Nowadays, I prefer thrillers. When asked what role I want, I really want to be a psychopath, it's more challenging," he explained.

Currently, Rico is also in the process of starting a coffee business. Although he is still selling to his close friends, he is planning to soon open a proper coffee shop.

"I've always wanted to have my own coffee shop, but I haven't had the courage. During the pandemic, I tried several businesses, but I feel that this coffee business is the most promising," he said.

2. Still Prioritizing

Then, what about his status as the King of Bigo? Clearly, for this one, he still prioritizes it. He continues to be creative on Bigo. When asked about the development of Bigo in Indonesia, he admitted that now ordinary people have started to see Bigo as a profitable technology.

"Now there are many big artists who are starting to dive into Bigo. In the past, Bigo was still looked down upon, considered negative. But it's not at all. In fact, if there's anything strange, Bigo immediately takes action," he concluded.
