"BlossomThroughTheCloud" starring Wei Zheming, Liu Xiening, Fei Qiming, and Zhao Qing, is seeking pre-broadcast sponsors and is expected to premiere on Hunan TV in August.
A bloggers analysis of WZM's two extremely contrasting roles. One as a Main Lead in Fox Spirit Matchmaker Red Moon Pact as Third Young Master Ao Lai and another as Special guest role Liu Chang in Flourished Peony 1&2. The so-called "good role" and "bad role" are never about the moral scale of the character, but about whether the actor can turn a piece of ruin into a monument.
Regarding "good characters" and "bad characters," I'd like to discuss two extremely contrasting roles played by Wei Zheming—the Third Young Master and Liu Chang.
The former is the pinnacle of power in the *Fox Spirit Matchmaker* universe, an absolute paragon of virtue and justice (in the drama version); the latter, on the other hand, is initially a haughty and pedantic good-for-nothing, later becoming a stubborn and insane cripple, even gaining notoriety on the list of live-in sons-in-law for "getting married" on the same day as his ex-wife (not really).
If I had to choose which is the "good character," I would unhesitatingly pick—Liu Chang.
The Third Young Master's character is built to its peak, yet the plot is as thin as paper. Looking back, my strongest impression is simply "Zheming looks so handsome"—that's all. Because most of his scenes are just static output (WBX's consistent style), there isn't a single highlight that truly brings the character to life, so even the strongest character setup can't hold up.
As for Liu Chang? His character is a ruin, but the plot is multi-dimensional. It was this role that silenced anyone who still said "Wei Zheming can only play saccharine drama elites." It was also because of Liu Chang that Yan Ke came along, and that a passerby commented in a leaked photo of Xiao Jue, "He's playing a madman again this time"—unlike before, similar comments were "He's playing a domineering CEO again this time."
Liu Chang's "rotten character" was rotten to the core: cowardly, obsessive, and a burden to everyone around him. Yet, it was precisely this fragmentation that sparked the most genuine debate and pain from the audience. Coupled with Zheming's nuanced performance and the overall atmosphere of the production team, the final scene of "Liu Chang's death" still evokes sighs from viewers—he died when he most wanted to start over, the world vast and white, utterly clean.
Looking back now, if this role had been given to many actors, fans would probably collectively pinch their philtrum. A deeply affectionate supporting male character is clearly easier to play and more likely to garner sympathy; who would want to take on a useless villain who lacks both ability and manners? But those "easy-to-act" sentimental supporting male characters are plentiful, with an astonishingly high rate of character duplication; while "bad characters" like Liu Chang's, riddled with flaws yet still lovable, are few and far between.
His upcoming dramas all look so good! Good for him! Any rumours about his next project? I think in his current…
There was one melon about a historical 'Qing Chuang Ji' or 'Story of the sunny window' which was only registered last month under YouKu. Will have to wait for updates.
Regarding support roles, WZM has not actually taken a 'support' role after 'Rising with the wind' [filmed in 2022, aired in 2023]. Roles like Qiu Qingzi, Liu Chang, Yanke, Yu You which came after 2022 are 'Special invited star' or 'Special guest star” roles (there’s just no category for this on MDL) and hence listed as support role. That means that it is not limited to the scope of a normal support role. I think if he comes across scripts which offers him a challenging role with a scope to perform like the ones above he will most likely take it.
Congratulations 🎉 🎊 👏 Promoting a healthy drink 😍In my part of the world, olive oil is a dietary staple…
Yunnan olive is Phyllanthus emblica or amla, different to the Mediterranean olive. It’s extremely popular in modern Chinese tea culture. It is pressed into fresh "olive juice" or blended with ingredients like jasmine green tea, green grapes, and perfume lemons. Can also be snacked on ots own or preserved as candied or savoury snacks 😋 Used as a natural medicine in traditional Chinese medicine
Gotta feeling that scene from Empress Dowager is chapter 86 of novel volume one, am I correct?
Yes that kind of appearance suits old empress dowagers. This one is a middle age scheming behind the scenes type, hence sophisticated appearance 😂 Let's hope she will confuse us and keep us invested in the political intrigue 🤞
Gotta feeling that scene from Empress Dowager is chapter 86 of novel volume one, am I correct?
Was she much older in the novel? This actress is around 50 which fits the middle age empress dowager tag I thought and the scheming step-mom of the Emperor. I read somewhere that she is a central antagonist in this drama, driving force behind the chaos of the realm acting as a ruthless political mastermind. She was pretty good as the main antagonist Black Fox in Fox Spirit Matchmaker red moon pact. I think she is a strong actress and can deliver. Actually I just realised that this is her third collaboration with MW after Fox Spirit Matchmaker and Rising with the wind.
okay so the reference to meteor garden is cute but the timing is off. the past events in the diary are from 2014…
They were referring to the 2001 classic Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden where Dao Ming Si and Hua Ze Lei are the two most prominent members of this iconic group F4
From the casts it look like all four of them will be main leads so why is mango tv only has miles wei as main…
Ofcourse there are 4 main leads. Mango has shared all main leads individual posters. Xukaifangirl88 already shared the individual Xu Kai poster by Mango in one of her posts below. As MW fan I posted his individual poster 😊
