That was amazing. I'm still not over it either! XZ voice is so good live even if it was very very cold that night. Seems to me that XZ is really picky with what he does and I can see why he chose to appear with the Jackie Chan.

October 2021 is not over yet and I just have to post how happy I am that this month has been so great for Xiao Zhan. From his birthday to many Xiao Zhan Studio updates, to performing with Jackie Chan to International Games ambassador to two international endorsements, one of which is another luxury brand. As usual, they are the highest titles and absolutely dominates. Sounds like there might be other announcements before the end of the month or at least before the big shopping day 11/11.

Wah, I'm so proud of him. I'm just being a little sentimental because I thought of last Oct 2020 when it was more quiet. Now we know that at that time, Xiao Zhan was actually already rehearsing for ADLAD and would be filming AT in a couple of months, and also Wolf was going to be released in several platforms soon. Xiao Zhan is always working hard whether we know if or not. I mean, he's obviously much stronger this year than last year so I can just anticipate with excitement what he's going to do next.

I loved it so much! That drumming in the beginning was fire!

Hope that one with Ma Sichun is true but ofc I don't believe anything until XZ or his studio posts it :)

Hey welcome! I agree with @tanavanas so much.

To me, 2021 is a great year for Xiao Zhan because he showed so much strength and had more accomplishments. I believe even better times are yet to come.

I think it's ridiculous how antis keep saying that he's not doing anything because he had time for his own photoshoot, that he's jobless, etc. Antis are here to sow discord and mislead. Just because we don't know what he's working on doesn't mean he isn't working on something. The Wolf and Douluo Continent aired with almost no publicity and yet was so popular. His endorsements are always best sellers. I would think XZ has many choices on what projects to do and there's a long line that are just begging for him to work with them.

I am hoping for his dramas to air soon too. But what I learned about c-ent is there are a lot of works that are unable to be released for many normal reasons. There are many stars who don't have dramas for over a year. It's not that unusual.

I agree that that Xiao Zhan seems to be trying to move away from being an idol or 'traffic star' as they call it and that's why he doesn't do much events, variety shows, magazines, etc, that others do to promote themselves and keep themselves in the public eye. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. XZ did some of that too in the beginning. I would love more content from XZ too. But I think at this point, he doesn't need it so he's being very selective. His fans are already very loyal and very 'sticky.' Xiao Zhan can just do things quietly and surprise us with something wonderful when he's ready. I'm sure he's doing many things behind the scenes. I mean, in 2020, when he's under severe attack and hardly posting, he was actually very busy. To me, the biggest was preparing for the ADLAD play.

Have you seen him in Our Song? That's probably my favorite XZ :)

Even if Xiao Zhan antis tried to ruin his birthday with their same tactics like provoking and instigating fights, 5 days after Xiao Zhan's birthday and I'm still thinking about how he got a world class photographer with top of the line designer clothes for a photoshoot and gave it to his fans for free as a gift for his bday. He could easily make so much money if he released some kind of photo book but didn't do that. He's really special and treats his fans well. I love how he does the unexpected like performing in a play and this photoshoot.

I'm so proud of Xiao Zhan and XFX. He's inspired his fans to go out and do so much good in the world. This recent twitter thread compiles XFX charity work all over the world (Philippines, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, US, Thailand, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil..) https://twitter.com/madetolove1991/status/1446982868924837888

The 30 cities charity tour by Chinese XFX was so heartwarming and that's just one of the many prepared by cxfx, and not just for his birthday.

I'm still eagerly awaiting Xiao Zhan's new dramas to air. It's taking a while but I know they will eventually. I just tell myself many popular artists have had no new dramas for even longer time either for many reasons.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Xiao Zhan. Hope you get everything you ever wanted.

Good list, but my one of my favorites Marcus Chang isn't on it :)

Agree !!

I really don't understand this cleaning up. In the last few days, when I search XZ name in baidu, there seems to be more articles with titles that try to provoke a negative reaction from xfx. But everything I'm reading is saying that xfx are remaining calm which is great to hear. :)

I'm sad too but it's likely for the best. To me, it's better for it to be postponed than to encounter problems that has nothing to do with XZ. :)

Waah! Hopefully just melons or if it is postponed, it's just for a short time only. So much upheaval in c-ent lately! Better to be safe, I guess.

I'm excited to find out too.

6 days to go to meet Dr William Gu. :)

So much happening and so many big changes in c-ent. Gov't trying to clean up. Whew! Just want to note today's date is 8/27/21

Hi!! Dang, so many new things in c-ent. My daughter used to like Wayv back when she was into kpop. I didn't catch everything that L did but sounds like he didn't commit a crime, was just a d1ck? Well, I learned that if someone sleeps with a celebrity, they should take a pic of them while sleeping, screenshot chat records, etc, just in case they need to expose it one day lol. Once again, the timing of these breaking news is ?! He's supposed to have new music coming out. Then, this d d u host story that broke. Ugh. I hope justice is served. I tend to believe the woman esp with the video. I remember someone telling me before that that show is low rated (despite having y there) but doesn't get cancelled because one of the host has high positions. Maybe it's that dude because I saw a HS yesterday talking about his jobs. Seems this girl is going to have an uphill battle. When I first liked xz, I was also deluded by cp because I really didn't know anything about c-ent so I was easy to deceive. One reason I believed it was there's some bts of the other ddu hosts implying it. I thought it must be true because they are seniors. I can be pretty naive. Good thing it didn't take long for me to get suspicious of that whole fandom. I think it was finding out about the ao 3 that made me question it too. Because it didn't make sense that xz lost so much because of that. That and the candies were just so ridiculous and obviously made up. Even I was able to see thru it and I'm not the sharpest.

Just watched another YT by JBS and she talked a bit about Z L Y fight with 9 L F fans. Right now there's a HS about W dealing with 2150 fan accts. Yesterday I saw the No 17 HS is her fans being banned, making it sound like it was just them. What! Isn't 17 notorious? Probably a bought bad HS paid by guess who. Just WOW! Talking about cleaning the environment but keep accepting paid HS.

Hee, that LiNing table tennis clip is so cute. I hope XZ makes more of these variety show type stuff too. Love to see his cute personality. His Douyin where he is trying to catch the square is delightful. Why is he so adorable. Heard XZ got W suspended bec of mentioning Douyin too much? Then the return of DJ XZ. Waaah! Just reminded me how much I love him in Our Song. Time to rewatch his Faded performance again a few times!

Oh, just finished You Are My Glory. Have u seen it? It's the first one I saw with Dilreba. She is gorgeous. I thought that for a c-drama, the kiss scenes were damn good. Hope OOL has that too. Wonder if the 50 kiss scenes are true. I'm lowering my expectations because OOL airs on TV, not just web. I read they have strict rules about kissing scenes in c-ent so that's why it comes off weird sometimes. I'm so shallow that I've literally stopped watching dramas because of awkward/bad kissing haha. Seriously, YAMG is just cute, light and fluffy. Maybe too light and fluffy for some. There is almost no meat or real conflict in the story. But it's ok for me because that's what I want right now. I started a couple of new dramas while waiting for OOL - Crush and Broker. Let's see if I finish them. Are you watching any dramas now?

True, true! I should remember not to hold fan behavior against the artist. Esp being xfx who get baited and dragged into all kinds of things. You know, I have questioned myself if am I just addicted to the melons and fandom drama since there seems to be always something, or do I really like xz. I came to the conclusion that I actually do like xz, because I have tried my best to stay away from, or muted, or unfollowed, or whatever social media equivalent there is to avoid the other artists and fans that irritate me. I'm sure I'm missing some really good melons but that's ok. If it is big and juicy enough, I'll hear about it eventually, lol.

I also know I actually like xz because I have watched shows with YangY, XuK, GongJ, and many other actors first before I saw xz in TU, but I never followed anyone like this. To me, it's not just about XZ's looks. There is really something super special about XZ. I love his interviews too. I like that he's eloquent but not glib. I'm not a fan of the I'm-too-cool-for-this personality either because it can come off as insincere. I remember some interviews where XZ said he has a 'dark side' and he has a private side and he can get angry, but he always just seems like a real, good and honest person.

New OOL bts so damn cute. And I'm excited for that xz ping pong thing coming up. So he's not going to variety shows, but he's just making his own variety show type segments lol.

About the MDL flowers, I see a blue 'Send Flowers' button under where it says how many flowers he has in his page. I noticed it a few weeks ago and clicked on it. I use my 'coins. that I didn't even know I had. haha. I'm guessing we earn them somehow by posting and rating? I pretty much only post XZ stuff but I rate a lot of dramas that I watched. :)

Wow, really KW agency going bankrupt? They probably have to pay a lot of breaking contract fees for the endorsements and others etc. Producers spent a lot on golden hairpin movie. Maybe they can also sue KW for damages? Saw speculation about reshooting golden hairpin movie or changing his face with AI. I don't know we have that kind of great technology for a big role. Maybe reshoot would work but who would take on that role? Maybe not someone super famous, but someone who wants a name for themselves might? Dunno. Did u hear about how that netflix movie 'Army of the Dead' had to reshoot and replace one of the actors after they found bad stuff about him? I watched the whole movie before finding out and I didn't even notice. They are lucky that this role happen to be mostly isolated from the other characters in the movie.

Have you seen Just Be Station's vid ? OMG I shouldn't be surprised that these awful people are related to each other. Glad to see some of the ppl related to se7ers getting some form of punishment. More to come I hope.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HVdubbXB00

Crush looks interesting. I'll look for it after I finish YAMG and FITYS. :)

Good idea to put spoiler tag :)

Looking at Weibo HS right now as I'm typing this, and there are still several HS related to Z controversy. Yikes, some of his i-fans still thinking it's a conspiracy because of his popularity. They are not quite getting how serious this is or refusing to. Like u said, respect other countries' history please. Ugh, annoying how some keep bringing xz name. Dude, not the same situation at all. XZ did nothing wrong and was targeted. I agree it's BS! Sure z popularity did contribute to his downfall because he got more eyes on him, but this is majorly caused by his own f up. cc tv spoke out against z immediately. cc tv always supported xz.

I'm not a fan of z. Someone told me months ago that he had liked or reposted that xz broom award thing last year so I already had a bad impression of him. I also remember a few weeks ago about Z fans dispute with xfx involving li ning. Also few weeks ago, I eyerolled so hard when he pretends to be a book reader but can't come up with a book title when asked. Many other things coming up. It's a pile on.

Last Sept/Oct, I finally watched TU and liked both actors, but liked xz more ofc, because I have taste lol jk. When I like stars in dramas, I try to watch other works. I started y video game theme drama but dropped after few eps. I watched SDC3 and liked it a lot mostly because of the dancers and other mentors. Watched whatever XZ stuff I can. When I got to Our Song, that was it! He's so adorable and such a good performer. It blew my mind that he can sing so well, can draw and so smart and so great at interviews. I've watched lots and lots of Asian dramas, I liked a lot of actor/actresses, but I never felt like following a star like this until XZ. What I learned about 2020 cyberviolence made me support him even more. I went from knowing nothing about c-ent even when I was watching dramas to watching for xz news every day, looking at Weibo, Baidu, etc and buying endorsements omg lol. I wish I could send more than 80 flowers a week to XZ here in MDL, haha. How about you, how did you get to like XZ?
