HMH: βIβm honored to have received an invitation from Madame Tussauds Shanghai and will soon have a wax figure of my own. To ensure the best possible presentation, Iβve made thorough preparations. Want to know more secrets about my wax figure? Follow Madame Tussauds Shanghai on Weibo and WeChat and stay tuned for the reveal.β
Yeah I saw this π too Iβm also not sure about this source, but they previously posted about hmh endorsement…
I think we are talking about the same sources. The account is pretty accurate with his endorsement melons and earlier the account posted about the FL change.
Also, I know the account you are referring to with the second paragraph. Indeed, the production team written was inaccurate, they changed the team in the latest. That's why I'm skeptical. Also, HMH got a schedule for the 16th and the studio usually mention in the itinerary if he will film a drama.
Official announcement for the Luzhou Galaxy Left Bank Music Festival will be released simultaneously on April 3rd at 16:58. The official lineup poster (π§£γπ ) will also be released.
Hou Minghaoβs wax figure at Madame Tussauds is officially revealed! π
Shining at Madame Tussauds Shanghai, a Double Celebration of Hou Minghao's Career β¨ As Madame Tussauds Shanghai celebrates its 20th anniversary and meets Hou Minghao's 10th anniversary in the entertainment industry , a journey of time and growth is about to begin!
Hou Minghao literally held a sword with fire and did the action scene by himself. There's no special effects, green screen or CGI. He was the only actor in this battle scene as the rest of the soldiers all were professional stuntmen.
An Extra (actor) shared that he and other extras used to backbite about Hou Minghao until they saw his dedication here. He could choose to use a body double, but he didn't. While inhaling smoke, he did his own part as General Xiao Wuyi π
The main features of the drama series "Key to the Phoenix Heart" are reflected in its triple narrative lines, contrasting character settings, sweet and bitter emotional threads, innovative integration of elements, and production. The drama uses three main lines of power struggles, mystery of origin, and emotional transformation to showcase the feelings of family and country and the affection between son and daughter.
In terms of character design, the characters in this drama possess "contrast aesthetics" and "dual-faced personalities." The male protagonist, Xiao Wuyi (played by Hou Minghao), appears to be an arrogant and domineering playboy, but in reality, he has the world in his heart and is a reformer determined to promote new policies, hiding his true strength. The female protagonist, Xie Jiayu (played by Amy), is a "science and engineering prodigy" who is proficient in the mechanical arts of the Mohist school. She transforms from a political pawn into a leader of the rebel army. The second male lead, Li Mao (played by Wang Yilun), takes on the role of a cunning and ruthless prince, transforming from a handsome young man into a vicious young king.
In terms of emotional development, the drama adopts the "marriage first, love later" model. Xie Jiayu and Xiao Wuyi's relationship begins with a forced political marriage (contractual marriage). In the process of solving the mystery of their origins and fighting against the court's conspiracy, they go from mutual suspicion and scheming to mutual healing, and finally become soulmates who will stay together through life and death. The emotional storyline is a mix of sweetness and heartbreak.
In terms of element integration, the drama combines " Mohist mechanical arts " with court intrigue. Xie Jiayu's mechanical arts talent becomes the key to driving the plot. The drama designs a variety of mechanical props such as siege crossbows and repeating sleeve arrows. The power struggle is interwoven with overt and covert plots, such as the βunjust regicide caseβ in the imperial court and the βsecret codeβ in the teahouse.
In terms of production, the main creative team of the drama includes director Gao Yijun , who directed "The Empress of China", and screenwriter Wu Mengzhang. In terms of visual aesthetics, attention is paid to research and restoration, such as using intangible cultural heritage techniques to restore Song Dynasty costumes, and the makeup and costumes of the lead actors to fit the characters. The war scenes were handled by a professional action stunt team.

Saw a π that the FL has been changed to WYL. I am skeptical with the credibility of the source so as usual take this with a grain of π§.
Btw, I read that the hengdian entry pass was submitted with HN as FL. I'm also skeptical with the source.
