Yeah no wrap up special video, not even a group photo! I guess the artists wrapped on different days and crew couldn’t get them all together for a wrap up video/photo/cake cut. I still feel they will collate the available materials and release a wrap up special soon 🤞
The production must have consulted the traditional Chinese almanac.Looking for an auspicious time (Ze Ri, 择日)…
Oh the wrap up pics? Did we go overboard 🤣😂🤣 Seriously his C fans did a fantastic job at the wrap up fan meet. It was a pleasure to see all the preparations and the two way interactions ❤️ Miles was very generous (1 hour interaction !) And his studio prepared a goodie bag with drinks, meal packs,cooling pads, custom photocards...the fans were chuffed 😊 He doesn't do many livestreams and this was way better as he can see and hear the fans and interact with them directly, a rare occasion!
The production must have consulted the traditional Chinese almanac. Looking for an auspicious time (Ze Ri, 择日) is a deep-rooted tradition in Chinese culture.
At the Nirvana in Flames wrap up fan meet today, Wei Zheming said: "After filming for 'Phoenix Doesn't Perch' wraps up, I have variety shows, a second album coming up, 'Flying into My Heart' airing, and a new drama series to join. My rest time is limited, so I'm balancing music and acting. Cr: fan post weibo https://m.weibo.cn/status/5325640342701831?jumpfrom=weibocom
It’s a wrap! In just a bit more than 100 days of filming, Miles lived the life of Emperor Xiao Jue. Congratulations Miles, congratulations to the entire cast and crew 🎊🎊🎉🎉💐💐🥳❤️❤️❤️
ThanksThe book has a douban rating of 7.6 and has positive comments https://m.douban.com/book/subject/1499775/Synopsis…
Douban rating 7.6 for novel means good/respectable. Yi Shu's novels are pretty solid. Some of her novel adaptations that have been hit dramas are The tale of rose, My first half of life, Best choice ever, My best friends story, Xi Bao
There are several 🍉 going around. Some are saying the script is undergoing revision. Anyway the project is already delayed (was expected to start by this time). The latest melon said WZM was approached for ML.
Interestingly Miles posted this on his weibo yesterday
I wonder if it is a cryptic message that he hasn't received the script (yet)? I could be wrong but that's how I read it 😀 Surely the production team ( well known and respectable executive producer Yang Xiaopei is the boss of Xixi productions) can't expect him to agree or sign a deal without looking at the script! Even if it being revised, unless he reads the revised script and his scope to perform he can't make a decision. I trust his choice of scripts and if he picks this up then it must be good quality. Anyway all we can do now is await official announcement AND Eagerly await the release of Miles's three upcoming dramas covering three genres with many diverse characters ♥️♥️♥️ ⚫️ Urban romance - CEO of Airlines industry Fu Mingyu (BlossomThroughTheCloud), ⚫️ Historical detective stories- Su Xuelou, Minister of Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, and the leader of the Emperor's secret organization, the "Ting Feng Ling" (Tian Du Yi Wen Lu), ⚫️ Court intrigue and family politics- Emperor Xiao Jue (Nirvana in Flames)
Another one!! #Fu Mingyu's bright and cheerful performance was on full display! His little scheme to successfully become Ruan Sixian's best friend's "brother-in-law" was written all over his face~💖
#Heartwarming behind-the-scenes footage of Fu Mingyu and Ruan Sixian at the archery range has been released!! Archery is all about aiming at the target, but whose gaze suddenly veers off course? 👀💕

#A super sweet and beautiful couple spotted on set! 💗 Fu Mingyu and Ruan Sixian are comparing heights online, and the tenderness and doting affection in the moment he lowers his head is undeniable#
Pre-orders exceed 660k! Night falls, leaving space for this moment, yet eyes are filled with unspoken feelings. Fu Mingyu and Ruan Sixian stand facing each other, waiting in the quietly shifting light and shadow for a love to slowly find its echo. Thank you for your support and love. May every approach land perfectly on the heart~ @HunanTV @MangoTV , stay tuned!
That dorm is a very cozy place to chill 😎 To see our sweet guy relaxed and happy is something I like to watch.…
😍😀 the games were a bit difficult. The psychologist describes the psyche of the person based on their drawing. The last drawing was Miles's. It says " The drawing is like a vast openness. At this point he has to hide a lot of his inner things (thoughts?) Because he is not sure? But the house has no doors which means he is really eager for others to understand his true self"
#Our Dorm Back to heart Wei Zheming Episode 5 with subshttps://youtu.be/ZbxF4ZDO7vI?si=INtoUBjcxPmq6YT4❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍❤️
"Our Dorm, Welcome home" was indeed homecoming for WZM. He stayed in the same dorm during "Call Me By Fire Season 3" in 2024. He was quite nostalgic. It was really nice to hear him talk about his family. He emphasized that he consulted with his parents on all decisions, analyzing the pros and cons, and ultimately, the final decision rested with him. It turns out Wei Zheming's family was very democratic; his parents didn't impose their will on him. No wonder Wei Zheming dared to push his boundaries time and time again; his strength came from his family. He was a child nurtured with abundant love. And the way he conducts and carries himself shows his upbringing! And not surprisingly he rushes home straight after his filming is done. Total homebody!
He is with Beijing Chengyu Culture Media Company, which he joined in January 2024 (google information)
The company he signed with before 2023 has the same legal representative as the current one. The boss of his current agency is probably someone he has worked with for many years. This company isn't fully commercialized, so he has the freedom to choose his scripts and business deals. It's quite good to take a steady and solid path without rushing. Maybe signing with a smaller company gives him more autonomy. Also keeps him 'safe and sound' which is even more important. Wei Zheming can sing, dance, and host, so he'll have more opportunities at Mango TV. He has starred in a bunch of low to mid-budget modern romance dramas with Mango and every single one has been a hit earning them a lot of money. Now that his market value has increased they are offering him better scripts in return. Artists under the Mango are the ones in demand now despite the current industry winter.
For those unfamiliar or confused about the new system 👇
This rule forces production teams to sort actor credits within the same tier alphabetically by the character stroke count of their legal surnames in ascending order.
1. Stroke Count Sorting (The "Counter") Instead of ranking actors by their popularity, market value, or screen time, production houses must mathematically count the strokes required to write the Chinese character of an actor's surname. • The Rule: The actor whose legal surname has the fewest (simplest) strokes is listed first. • Ties: If two actors share the same surname or their surnames have the exact same stroke count, the rule moves on to calculate the stroke count of the subsequent characters in their given names until a mathematical order is established. Example: Actors with the surname Ding (丁—only 2 strokes) or Wang (王—4 strokes) automatically jump to the front of the list, whereas actors with complex surnames like Yu (虞—13 strokes) or Zeng (曾—12 strokes) are pushed to the back. • Wei Zheming's surname ("Wei" / 魏) consists of 17 Chinese character strokes. In the context of Chinese drama billing regulations—which require the use of legal names and list actors in ascending order of their surname's stroke count—this places him alongside actors like Wei Daxun and Tan Jianci 2. Mandatory Use of Legal Names Actors can no longer hide behind or gain a billing advantage through strategic stage names. All credits must display their real, legal birth names, with their well-known stage names placed secondary in brackets. For instance, popular actress Bai Lu is listed by her birth name, Bai Mengyan (Bai Lu). 3. Strict Limitation of Tiers To stop production companies from inventing convoluted, appeasing titles for sensitive star egos (such as "Special Top Equal Co-Star"), the new rules explicitly collapse billing into exactly three standardized categories: • Lead Starring (Lingxian Zhuyan) • Special Appearance (Tebie Chuyan) • Cast Member (Chuyan) Exceptions and Loopholes If a drama is completely centered around one absolute protagonist (e.g., a titular character), that specific actor can be given a standalone spotlight box independent of the stroke count rule. However, early adoptions of this rule—such as by the Tencent Video historical drama The Noble—have already sparked fresh debates among netizens, as viewers point out that major leads with high-stroke surnames are technically getting buried beneath minor supporting cast members in promotional materials.
Industry Impact and Criticism: ●While the system successfully neutralizes aggressive contract negotiations over who gets top billing, it has sparked widespread debate in the C-biz community: • Decreased Marketing Recognition: Forcing actors to lead with unfamiliar birth names has left general audiences confused about who is actually starring in the project. • Disconnection from Screen Time: Because it functions strictly like an alphabetical index, a veteran actor with a minor role can inadvertently rank above a main character simply because their surname is easier to write.
Im fryed with the new billing rules of stroke counter...while Ding Yuxi is rejoicing poor Wei Zheming...if I counted…
Honestly so much drama just for billing! So there's going to be 3 categories- Leading actor, Special appearance, Appearance and actors will be listed in each category based on the number of strokes in their surname. It will be a task to identify some actors if they use their legal birth names 😅 Confusing!
