Oh man, he must have been so hot in that sweater and jacket, poor guy. But he looks so good, you really can't tell!

Thanks from me as well! It's not easy for me to view Chinese social media, and I have a hard time finding reliable sources for his news. Really appreciate you and everybody on MDL who takes the time to post updates for him!

I’m WAY behind here, but just watched it and feel the same way! I wanted to leap through the screen and hug him during his talk with Mr. He. Especially with the knowledge we have now that a criminal gang was attempting to blackmail him and trashing his reputation all these months! Acting in an emotionally and physically grueling cdrama day after day, while standing up to all that and facing the risk that they might succeed in destroying his career… no wonder if he feels drained.

Hopefully, with the drama filming done and the crackdown on the gang, he’s relaxing and feeling better. SO glad he got that award!

Seconding this, I used to follow a bunch of YouTubers that would sub his interviews and livestreams, but lately it seems they’ve all stopped posting and it’s become harder and harder to find subs of him even for his new content, let alone older stuff like this. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it!!

I didn’t know 80% of his fans were over 25 and university educated! I fall into that category myself lol. But it makes sense, I’ve had the impression his fans were more mature and generally chiller than many other fandoms, although lately they’ve been stirred up a lot

Thanks so much for this! It’s really impressive to see it all laid out. What drew me to him as a fan, aside from his incredible talent, was his perseverance and grit, climbing his way up as an underdog through so many setbacks. And the more I learn about him as a person, the more I like him

But knowing now what he’s been through since the beginning of this year, I admire even more his fortitude and tenacity. The mental toughness it takes to film a grueling cdrama every day while experiencing heath problems AND being held up by a criminal cyber gang - it’s unbelievable. In an industry where reputation is everything, it took so much courage to stand up to that gang and take the risk of letting them trash his reputation for months to bring them to justice.

Thanks, that's great! Is this the most prestigious award he's won? I know he's won cdrama awards, but it seems like movie awards are probably higher-tier.

Hahaha even "haggard", he's still so good-looking!

I only know him from Story of Minglan, so I was glad to see he seemed supportive too! Especially since I've heard his fans were nasty, good that he's not like that.

Me too, I'm pretty emotionally sensitive to sad stories. I want to watch it for him, and definitely want it to succeed, but if they really go with a sad ending, I don't know if I can handle it.

Thanks for this explanation! I was also confused why fans were blaming the studio - after all, he's the boss of it. But the fact that his manager should have been handling the situation makes the whole thing make a lot more sense. Why did the pinned post come across so badly - was it the content of what it said or just that it felt like too weak of a response?

This seems like a great development to me! I've been trying to look up more info about this, but it's so hard to find reliable news about the c-entertainment industry where I am. Did this have anything to do with the "scandals" at the beginning of January, or was it just about the DWTT fanwars? It's awful to think of being targeted by blackmailers, I'm glad the police are doing something about it.

Yayyy, so happy!! He completely deserves it! I know very little about Chinese film awards, how prestigious is this one? Ofc he deserves all the awards regardless of how prestigious they are, but I'm curious to know more about what this means.

Thank you so much!!!

No worries if you can't find it, I don't mean to take up your time! It sadly makes sense that he gets targeted, and I like seeing defense or praise for him.

Excellent reviews here, I agree with most of what you said! Reminds me I still need to watch AA/Growling Tiger. It would be interesting to see young TJC in his first meaty role. But it's so long and he's not the MC, so it's hard to commit, haha.

Yeah, one of the things that makes him so great to watch is how much he clearly loves performing. Paradoxically, he's kind of a quiet introvert in everyday life, but he opens up on stage and it's like an inner light comes on whenever he gets to perform.

He did a lot of Cantonese songs at Shenzhen in his solo concert tour, definitely check those out! I think the Shenzhen stop was my favorite of his solo concerts. All the concerts were good, but to me, Shenzhen had the best outfits, best performances, and best exclusive song choices.

His Our Dormitory appearances are good, and he's hilarious on Hello Saturday where he's been a regular cast member since 2022. Unfortunately, he's been appearing less and less as his schedule has gotten busier, but the episodes with him are great!

Thank you for sharing, I love these!! They make it seem so real, almost like we were there with you.

I like the song! I saw this news last night and thought it was so random, especially since I don't think Tan Jianci usually does OST's for productions he's not in. At least not at this stage in his career, not sure about earlier. But it being a request from the producer of his movies would make sense.

Haha, right, it's such a far-off dream to ever see him in person. I'm genuinely happy to know someone who did!
