Duke Su was a powerful, flamboyant character whose aura was defined in the show itself. XHJ is restrained and…
I've been seeing snippets of the deleted lines/scenes from the script and XHJ has a fun, dry sense of humor, it's so sad Youku cut them out. hope they release some of them in clip form at least, they'll get my money idc.
the production team arranged a lot of outdoor scenes today to drum up publicity, there might even be skydiving and a proposal later lol watch this space (edit to add: fan reports have confirmed WXY did shoot the skydiving/parachuting, but maybe the crew asked them not to share any videos)
also, his ability to become meme material in the most unexpected ways really needs to be studied as every early review of Jadewind was saying XHJ's character was negligible but what do you know, viewers still fell in love and Thai Orange (his character nickname) jokes started trending (not to the level of Duke Su virality but it's still amazing and his social media engagement is rising, pray YZ doesn't open his mouth and ruin it again lol)
and lastly, icymi A Love Confession will be having it's official booting ceremony on Feb 25, head over to the drama page to see the latest reuters and pilot Zhou Jingze!
on a fun note, netizens have officially dubbed the CP: 现煮泰式橙 or Freshly Brewed Thai Orange [tea] because Peiyi always has Huaijin steaming with her antics (Freshly Brewed/cooked is a pun on PY's title of County Lady while Thai Orange is a pun on HJ's title of Grand Astrologer)
Lol pei yi acting sick so that hau jin would not scold her for the act she pulled. The episode was sweet. Her…
it was deleted from the drama but in the script, Peiyi gets the medicine recipe from the doctor and makes one for Wu Ren. Huai Jin notices WR's medicine bag is the same as PY's and he tricks her to exchange so that his medicine bag matches PY's. it's revealed later that PY also made bags for some of her other staff so HJ's effort of getting a couple trinket was in vain.
I don’t think this is about wanting romance or big emotions. For me, it’s about interaction and partnership.…
cnetz who read the script say a bunch of their interactions were cut from the first case which made their dynamic feel stiff (after all, a 40 episode script was cut down to 34.) not sure what episode you're on now but I'm up to date and it is improving.
Reason why people don't believe he is 23 til date. I still think he got more chemistry with Wu Jin Yan rather…
sometimes chemistry is also a product of directing/editing. I remember in the reuters of the horseback jumping scene, you clearly see WXY as XHJ get surprised and flustered when LPY grabs the reins from him. this is not cut into the drama and they just have him looking stoic on the horse as usual. so how are you supposed to feel their emotions towards each other slowly changing? it just makes me wonder how many more little character moments were deleted.
just let them be. cnetz complained he was ugly in Scent of Time but he still got the most fan growth out of the…
film roles might be a little hard now, if the drama industry is struggling with multiple projects getting canceled/constantly delayed, it's even harder for the movie industry unless you already have a lot of connections (YZ doesn't seem to have that many, his reach is still limited to TV.)
the difference with LYX is that her management is very good at controlling public opinion: they delete a lot of the more unsavory rumors off douban/weibo and are willing to spend money pushing flattering clips of their artists on douyin to the masses. YZ lets the bad rumors fester and circulate because it's all publicity to him. like there's a rumor now that DEX's management has been buying her ALC reuters so netizens will stop ganging up on her with the blurry, overly sharpened images for a bit.
just let them be. cnetz complained he was ugly in Scent of Time but he still got the most fan growth out of the…
I noticed that most of the actors who I think have interesting faces over there (him, Ci Sha, Jiang Qiming) are always called "rugged" by the noisy majority of cnetz. they just prefer softer features, plus he has a natural aggressive sex appeal that comes across as too strong for their taste. And honestly people just like to pile on the hatred now, it's the internet's collective mental illness. he lost a lot of goodwill from cfandoms after The Double and Yu Zheng's continuous actions of stoking fan wars for hype so it's not surprising that he gets attacked. there was also a melon years ago when SWL sued Huanyu to get out of his contract, that Yu Zheng likes to spread bad rumors/negative publicity about his own artists so that they won't think about leaving him. I still remember the day WXY announced his first luxury endorsement (Chopard) and Yu Zheng decided it was a good idea to get the Perfect Match cast to flood weibo with unflattering bts pictures they took of WXY a few hours later. really, it's a dirty business.
Douyin and Weibo making a fuss over blurry ALC reuters is so ridiculous.
just let them be. cnetz complained he was ugly in Scent of Time but he still got the most fan growth out of the cast because his performance won people over. book fans complained he wasn't suitable for Zhang Zhe because he looked too much like a villain but they were complaining his storyline was cut by the end. book fans also complained he wasn't beautiful enough/looked too righteous for Xiao Heng but then he went viral. believe in his acting skills lol. it's already friendlier in XHS because yesterday's clips had a few book fans changing their opinions.
