I really dislike fake white foundation and red lips. Also wigs. Actresses obsessed with the white skin, they leave white dots everywhere, coz they put it on the entire body. They also semi bald coz of costume dramas wigs. Fans should love them less? Thankfully, Lusi has white skin and a healthy hair. She had to cut her hair for a commercial, another several months and her hair will be long again. She didnt use extensions for her last events, also worked with the best MUA.

What's this comment? you read more yxh/melon accounts and haters posts than other real materials. Girl was the only one chinese actress praised by Vogue for her look (march) . She was featured by Vogue, W, SoFigaro, Sohu Fashion etc (april)
She unlocked 25 HC (Haute couture) in a single year, wore customized designs of famous designers. Of course she changes her look, she isnt a teen anymore ZLS is the actress with the biggest number of endorsements, she has duties, lives, offline activities, shooting commercials, magazines. Her fashion resources are very good.
Her Versace Icons campaign is so big, that fans of other actresses edited pics of her 220 m billboards and put their favs on those big towers. The jealousy is insane How cant you see these things, but you see what haters said. They edited her pics, enlarged them and made her look short. This is a certain prove they are jealous
She is on the wave, she's the moment. Haters can cry, ppl naive enough to believe them can also panic, complain or whatever
What happened to lusi? She is no longer choosing her series well. The story is not good, her clothes are strong,…
This is still a melon. Till there isnt an official announcement, why would you panic this way? Her last 2 dramas have 40 eps, HL has less eps, but what a big hit it is! About clothes and not attractive look I cant comment, coz I dont get what you want to say. I really hope Lusi will take someday a very challenging role, when only her acting will count, not clothes, not her look, not the handsomeness of her ML. Famous actors act with young actresses usually, to push their career. When they prove they can carry a drama they will act with not so famous actors. If dramas big hits, they explode Ad to that the company they signed with. As you know, ZLS has Youku and Tencent dramas, while the actors you talked about have more iQiyi dramas. Not a rule, but it also counts Dont doubt Lusi's decisions. She knows better than we do what's the best for her career. Support her if you like her, or move to another actress
I simply love this drama. It was good. It's rare to see a drama where the entire cast gave all and transformed every each role in a lil gem. They worked perfectly together. The emotions they gave me are priceless.
has anyone read the novel? can anyone give me some spoilers? are there any misunderstandings? breakups? is fl…
the FL is a slave, diving to pick pearls. It's about her journey to became a wealthy business woman. There isnt a novel, it's an original script. The author made a short summary, 10 chapters which were developed in drama script. We dont know much about the script
Zhao Lu Si is a beautiful and talented actress. In the Chinese Drama World, she is one of the best actresses.…
The Romance of Tiger and Rose is very good. It's ZLS' drama with the highest number of views (average 52 mil/eps.) ZLS won her first Best Actress award at Hengdian Film and TV Festival of China
Gen Z is a mainstream, not an Idol drama. Lusi is the second billing and she is the single traffic actor in that drama. GZ got lots of awards ( I uploaded a part of them as pics, Gen Z's page on MdL). Also, along The Last Immortal, made the short list of chinese quality dramas recommended at Cannes Festival -October 2023. Gen Z will be rebroadcasted next month- Dragon Tv
About TLI, it was far to be a "weak drama". It lacks in several points, but it managed to keep in front of screens an average of 40 mil/ep (did much better than WRTW which had 27 mil/ep). It is still top 2 xianxia aired this year(with split data on 2 years 2023-2024) and there were several xianxias aired. Started its running as a S drama and finished it as a S+ drama, certified as being a hit. ZLS broke several own records with TLI: fist drama with almost 7 mill reservations, broke at peak 200mill views in a single day of airing (Mango TV) first char who broke 9 in the first day of airing (and fist 95 line flower who broke 9 in the first day) first character with the highest heat popularity increase in a single day first char with the highest Tencent heat popularity all times This drama did good, even we, of course, wanted more. We have to understand that many things are changing during the post production, nobody knows if drama will be a hit or a flop till it's not aired.
All chars Lusi took have great development. She didnt choose a bad script yet, she didnt deliver flops. She is the first who knows what's the best for her and for her career and what we think we know is good for her may not be true
you must be suffering and hurting with so much jealousy and envy to make effort to go to this page and write your…
coz she's not ZY's fan. She stans other actress, who had a drama with LYN before (actually 2 dramas). She's ZLS's hater and dont give a cent on LYN either Usually this sort of posts have some effect on chinese platforms. But here, she just increases the number of comments and publicly embarrassing herself.
Zhao lusi said in an interview that this drama is going to release in 2025 ... can't believe we do not have a…
Hutong is rebroadcasted for the 3rd time (CCTV8) right now and Gen Z will be rebroadcasted next month (Dragon tV). Cfans are a bit more lucky than us. But even so, we have time to rewatch her old dramas. TSOPG will be aired this year. Lusi always thought her dramas will be released later than they did
congratulation Zang Hai Zhuan for 1 million reservations on Youku . The Story of Pearl Girl when ðŸ˜Top4 Douyin…
when fans will decide they will want to make data before airing. I guess ckelulis have no will till now, they are really busy with some other things.
the number of reservations at this time doesnt mean anything. HL had almost 6 mill reservations, TLI had almost 7 millions. Dont worry for ZLS's dramas
it was an A drama which finished its running as a S drama. That means their budget was low but finished its running…
ZLS is considered the top of 95 line. She was the first billing in HL CZY got more recognition (China and overseas) after HL. He was second billing in HL
HL was a blockbuster in China, but its overseas popularity is impressive (Instagram, Facebook, X, tiktok- all platforms exploded during airing - HL hashtag had almost 5 billions views on tiktok) HL finished it's airing on Netflix on 2nd place as number of points (all times cdramas aired on Netflix). The first place was still Who Rules The World (Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang)
If you want to watch more dramas of ZLS, I recommend Love Like the Galaxy and Who Rules The World.
Waaahh when would our baobei’s next project be announced…patiently waiting every day. Hope it is soon! LYN…
Lusi has 21 endorsements, she's the actress with the biggest number of endorsements. She has duties (shoot ads, livestreams, interviews, offline activities). She's working. She also had a photo shooting session for a new magazine More, Lusi always left 2-3 months between drama projects, never filmed back to back. TSOPG turned off camera on the 14th of March, about 1 month ago.
yup, sometimes, in some democratic countries (and even there you cant be sure always of the sincerity of the intention), not in a communist one. If you never lived under a communist regime, you cant know/understand how things are.
Generally speaking, I dont mind some ppl see things differently. It's our nature, it's about our life experience, our background, our fears, culture, education, age. .and it's normal to be this way. But here, most of them are haters, I read tones of illogical comments about Lusi and her dramas during time You cant debunk a rumor/ a black comment if you cant bring data or facts. Many of ZLS int fans are this way, they do research, check several platforms, weibo too, collect data. They have a clearer vision of chars Lusi plays, coz they watch all her interviews, knows the way her dramas are marketed, discuss in groups etc. But what is sad, for haters doesnt matter what you show/explain, show facts and they dont care about truth or facts. Important is that lil and momentary satisfaction they have when they shade her or her work and the image damage they think they done. Gosh...and so many of them are so rude, like they just get out from a cave When I have time I like to engage in convs. At least what I write stays there for every passer by who wants to read and they dont take as good what every hater or yxh said on weibo and it was brought on int platforms. Or, at least, makes her/him wonder
*grateful for the ideas exchange, for the way we agree to disagree:)
"My response to this type of love story is who cares? " the novel fans base which is huge (millions)
"The writers must create something that will make it past the censors, but still convey the message the writers want to get across" this is your supposition (about the message), not a fact. This drama was an A drama (low budget). The prod team wouldnt risk to fail a censorship, there werent money and time for another post prod/part of it. And I will give you an ex: Legend of Anle failed 2 censorships. The editing suffered a lot, are holes in plots, and it was a high or very high budget drama but they still couldnt handle it. Imo they did everything to make things clear from the beginning. More, there isnt yet a prod team which dares to tease laws in China or send messages about them. They would be blacklisted, never work in industry. If there are some things you cant do in China, firsts are to not go against gov politics and do not evade taxes. This drama has a bunch of messages, but that's not one of them
"Zhao Lu Si always plays a character who goes against societal norms. Why would she play this part?" not a rule. Actually she picks chars with a clear development, diff genres of dramas. As she said, she wont pick another campus drama, HL will be the first and the last one. She loved SZ char, described it as sweet, cute, childish, sincere, lonely, but also, later, a strong char ready to def the man she loves, their love relation, mature enough to know what she wants from life, mature enough to comfort/heal DJX youth trauma. This drama is about emotions. ZLS nailed SZ char. The amount of emotions she gave audience through screen is impressive. Pll love this drama for the way they feel watching it
"but it bothered me why they would have her speak like a kid and act like a kid until she turns 22. I am sorry to say, but for 17 she has a tonality, for 19 another one and for lasts ep another one. ZLS' voice is cute by definitions, but not irritating. Saying she used the same voice isnt fair. now...usually asian teen girls act cute and have tinny voices. When they are spoiled kids in their childhood as SZ was, this is natural
"She is not ready for this type of relationship" Do you think she wanted/dreamed that kind of relation? Only part of viewers sexualized her crush. Dirty minds even saw shady thing even when she was 14. There is no clue/hint she imagined even a silly kiss. This is why i am kinda socked and upset to read such things. It is first love, pure and sad coz is unrequited. She doesnt hunt touches, kisses or more, she is happy to steal a pic, and embarrassed she was caught in fact like a thief. She is in plushies era in her 17 when it comes about love
"DJX tells his friends at the bar in episode 23 that he had a crush on her when she was 17. He was just too embarrassed to admit it and called her his sister because this is the safe choice. However, he does start courting her when she is 17 under the guise of being her tutor and brother. This is the safe choice. Other people might call it grooming." Did we saw the same drama? When did he say he had a crush on her in her 17? Again your suppositions Lol. He didnt. There is no grooming there and i told you several times why. dont believe it, take as guarantee Netflix rated it+7 Even the fact you say he had a crush when she was 17 and he respected her, didnt give her hints of his feelings, the way he kept it in his pants till she was 20 makes him a green flag. Shits happens, but not in this drama.
"Happy pondering. This drama is more than just a simple love story. It asks the audience at what age is it morally right for a girl to start her sexual journey and with whom should she start it with? " Are you serious? you're not The audience saw clearly she started her journey when she was ready. And he gave her time, court her before. Shouldnt be ppl more concerned about the real dangers teens are exposed to then to turn an unrequired first love in a moral issue? Just asking. Such a never ending debate on a fiction
However I look at what you say, this drama is a green flag one.
