Honestly I'm for everything except for Liu Haoran and Zhao Lusi after what I saw happen to Wu Lei. Liu Haoran is someone whose more so under the radar and niche...everyone knows of him but he's not too popular and yet he's not ignored. He perfects his craft and has been trying to be a serious movie star, but he also reads a lot and is interested in various different scripts. However, he's had issues with releasing his breakthrough movies in the past, except for Detective Chinatown. As for Zhao Lusi, no matter what people say, in Chinese media and in the public is seen as more of a traffic actress, although she was a beloved one due to Tiger and Rose. After Love like the Galaxy though, a lot of her fans got big-headed and began saying very mean things about Wu Lei, even talking about his looks. To be fair, Wu Lei is someone cemented in the industry since childhood, and some of fans of the novel were mean towards the Zhao Lusi casting, so some of her fans got defensive over that. But as someone who was only a recent fan of Wu Lei and always found his features a bit weird, I'll say the things that were said about his acting and him as a person as well as his looks just because of Zhao Lusi was ridiculous. Some of her intl./Chinese fans are 太疯狂, like K pop male idol fans. They shield her and protect her, but are always comparing her to her male co-stars as if she's better and they are undeserving. For this reason I've started to distance from her fandom. I don't think Liu Haoran or his agency likes that kind of fan war and fan obsession. He's been doing a lot of International stuff lately, between the Cannes Festival and Fashion Shows overseas, amd he recently trended for a bit on Weibo as a 'forgotten handsome'. But I don't think he's someone that would want to pair with someone with fans like Lusi's for now. Especially when he has so many dating and marriage rumors with Zhou Dongyu 周冬雨 since 2022.
I really want a full on historical drama with Zhou Xun and Chen Kun.
That would make the internet crazy!! But considering their long friendship and the speculation about their relationship amidst Zhou Xun's marriage in the past, that's probably inpossible. :( Those two are well grounded and seem to despise their privacy being blown out
Wu Lei and Zhang JingYi would be an eye candy and acting orgasm wth. Someone give them a murder thriller script or something.
As for Nini, she's a great actress but she's recently slowed down. I think it'd be better for her to pair up with someone like Wang Kai or even Ven Gao. Yang Yang is perfect eye candy but he's not an acting powerhouse. I wouldnt tie her to him for a new hit, unless she just wants the CP fans.
Oh yikes sorry, it didn’t win. It was submitted for Cannes in the Un Certain Regard category and received a standing ovation from the audience, with numerous European and Asian investors after the ceremony. I think I mixed up it 'winning' with another film.
From the win at the Cannes Film Festival to the recent show with Balenciaga, Liu Haoran has been having a good summer! Lets hope this momentum continues. It's so funny how he trended on Weibo as a 'forgotten handsome'😭😭😭
"A middle aged woman falls in love with a "teenager boy" who acts like a puppy begging for attention. Intoxicated by love, she begins to cover up the rape case of her subordinate that the boy's father committed earlier - Just so the boy wouldn't feel bad - "
Wth?!!! Yeah thanks for the save. I will not be picking this up.

Just finished the show a couple of moments ago. Holy cow, your thoughts are spot on. I couldn't place why the FLs character seemed to weaken and be less charismatic and powerful as she seemed in the beginning of the series. They tried to fuse too many things at once... honestly the last 20 or so episodes of the drama and how key loved ones were killed off one by one is reminiscent of the drama 'I Will Never Let You Go.' Exhausting bordering on exasperating, and I usually llike those heart wrenching plot elements. But more than that, the aspect of not allowing character's to be "truly dark" is another aspect of this drama I had a bit of a problem with. Although, Id say Xin Ziyang's character came very close to crossing that line. THANKS for your review. Thoroughly detailed and deserving.
he doesn't have the vibes to do bad things ,i think he pisses off some big shot that why he get cancelled,but…
No he didn't do anything "bad" ... well depending on your standards and beliefs concerning sex work/prostitution. He was just sleeping with and buying prostitutes, and got caught and humiliated through video. Many Chinese friends I know deep in C-ent also told me the public opinion on him wasn't that bad, people were more like ewwwwww haha and making memes....probably also because he doesn't have a huge fandom stirring up trouble all the time to tick people off.
But yeah, mayybe he did piss off a bigshot? He was not an insanely popular actor, though people did praise his ability to choose scripts and keep his head down. He doesnt seem like a slimy or EVIL person, just a horny one. Kind of like actor Xu Kaicheng.
I, personally, believe what he did was distasteful because I believe no matter how willing a woman is entering the prostitution/porn industry, it's still victimization to me. And opting for that as an older actor and someone of privilege appears unnecessary. Call me a prude.
I want it so badly though.....
