geechoo

he posted a piece of white paper on his weibo. for some context, during the covid era, university students were posting white paper on social media as a form of protest against the government's censorship. people saw it as him supporting the students which was seen as instigation for riots by the government. going against the CCP is a big no-no. you pretty much can't escape being banned if you attempt that.

something I've noticed is that since last year, ZLH has soo many antis who try to use his co-stars to step on him lol they did it with MJTY and they tried it again with SOKP. I can't keep track of the number of YXH who kept pushing the narrative that WXY was a better actor or ZZ is more popular, etc. And they love to screenshot the most unflattering captures of him like last night, I saw his antis trying to spread the screenshot of him being hit in the face like of course he'll look unflattering there lol.

It's just so bizarre to me because usually only large liuliang actors will receive this kind of attention from antis. WHD was targeted recently but he's a lot more popular so it's understandable. the amount of antis ZLH has doesn't even match his fame level lol he's still a newbie actor with little fans.

I kind of wanna see him work with 95 hua actresses lol so far he's only worked with esther but her liuliang is much larger than him so it makes things feel imbalanced. I wanna see him work with tian xiwei, zhou ye, wang churan, etc.

he mostly works with older actresses (prob because he looks mature)

unfortunately Zhou Jun Wei is effectively banned in China. he had a political scandal early last year which is why the drama doesn't even include him in promo stuff. I think he moved back to Canada already.

why are these bts filmed at better angles than in the drama lol the director using slow-mo on xie wei falling to the ground made me cackle and it was not a funny moment!!

they turned him into a superhero lol that was never in the book lol

ZZ is like an emotionless robot lol that man looks either worried or sad in 90% of the scenes. yan lin should've been 2nd ML. at least he kicks ass.

no I'm back to this scene because why is his solution to her being scared shitless of him killing her to have her stab him?? loool this man's logic is batshit insane but this is what makes this show so exciting. never date a guy like this though..

man the final battle at the palace really would've been better with more people lol having that few guards is kind of unrealistic

the "kill me" scene in episode 34 is so well acted!! XW is so fucking insane omg

the last minute of SOKP though.. someone get him a modern drama script asap! let him play a nerdy character lol since he's smart irl too

tbf she has already been married in the past life lol I don't think she cares

wait.. how did this even go to production omg I feel like even if it wasn't bl, it still wouldn't have passed censorship

I don't agree because imo ChangHeng never tried to be competition to DFQC. ChangHeng is kind of the prototype male lead in older xian xia dramas like yehua but the difference is that he actually fights against the laws of his world and that's what made me like his character so much. he's really sympathetic towards the end of the drama.

the title makes it sound like a comedy lol

wait.. that's what this novel is about? lol

if it airs next month, it should air into 2024 so hype should remain for at least first half of 2024 if it's well received. legend of jewelry probably won't have a long post-production because it's not a cgi intensive drama.

there's no specific stat lol but last year, in the year-end round up, his character was the only non-lead character that showed up on a lot of platform's popularity ranking. his own popularity shot up because of this role too.

I remember this drama only finished filming in March right? 9 months of post-production is incredibly fast for xian xia which requires a lot of cgi. I just hope the drama is ready to air and they aren't rushing it for year-end financial reasons.

maybe his character in MJTY lol because that's the one I see people being annoyed with. his character in LBFAD is one of the most popular cdrama SML in recent times.
