Producer Yu Zheng Thrilled with Wang Xing Yue’s Breakout in The Double as He Banked on Him Initially Because He Looked Like Young Wallace Huo

View Comments

• Wang Xing Yue looks like Chen Xiao. Not Wallace.

  • I started noticing Wang Xing Yue since Your Sensibility My Destiny aired in 2021. I think he was around 18/19 years old but he had a depth to his acting. And he certainly gave life and sparks to the role of an emotionaless young Lord with his subtle expressions and nuances. I was expecting his breakout but it took a few roles for him to do so. I guess maybe he was being sidelined in favor of other uprising and older actors. Now I am glad his talents didn’t cause him further delay and I look forward to his other roles.

• Rather than looks, I would say he chose based on Chen Xiao's vibes. Notice how Xu Kai also has the same vibes?

  • Yeah,you can hate him,but he really have eyes for talent

  • All these actors mentioned are wonderful. I like them all. They probably resemble each other bcuz of some expressions when they're acting. Ah, im so happy for WXY. I hated him in One and Only. Loved him in Scent of Time and had high expectation when watched him in Admist. But in The Double, he becomes one of the actors that i'll watch every project of his. Young and talented, love it. Hope he'll get more various characters later.

  • Sorry it not supposed to be a reply.

  • So true. He doesn't look even remotely similar to Wallace Huo, but after watching his scenes, I noticed he exudes similar vibes to Chen Xiao. And I loved Chen Xiao because he's similar in acting to another actor that I love from Pakistan - Fawad Khan. It's all in the eyes. All three actors have a way of pulling you in with their expressive eyes.

    • Never thought I’d see Fawad Khan mentioned in a CDrama article haha…I agree though, he has mesmerizing eyes and a way of looking at his female leads…

• Wang Xing Yue looks like Wallace Huo ? I feel his eyes in "The Double" look more like Chen Xiao imo. Plus boy is really good at dubbing himself so far and at playing authoritary roles way beyond his years. I am cheering for WXY because I think he brings his own flavour to the industry among the batch of actors born in 21st century.

  • Oh, he's dubbing himself in The Double? To be honest, I think the voice over for him sounded kind of weird, but if that's his real voice, well, there is nothing I can say.

    • This is his voice. Wang Xing Yue, so far, dubs himself in his works. That is one reason he is blowing up in China

• Yu Zheng might have the eye but no interest in developing talents into proper actors and tends to overwork his stars. They do non stop drama, one after another, with so-so production values. Some occasional hit here and there, but none would stand the test of time, with the exception of Yanxi Palace. After awhile you can tell the passion isn't really there anymore or they are simply too tired eg. Bai Lu, Xu Kai. He prioritizes popularity and money. I am glad Chen Xiao is out, hopefully Bai Lu will get out in due time. Yu Zheng is a good gate to enter entertainment industry but that's it.

  • Yu Zheng is a businessman. Nothing wrong in banking more money 💰 Just like how the farmers milk their cows 🐮 The main point is how much he is rewarding his artists 🧐

• The supporting male cast in Amidst a Snowstorm of love was pretty good. Wang Xing Yue and Chen Jing Ke were pretty charismatic in their role. I only watch modern cdramas and I'm curious to see them in new roles.

• I always thought he resembled Lin Geng Xin because of his nose. A skinnier version. I don’t see the other actors as him. Dylan wang looks a lot closer Wallace huo atleast with how skinny he is and how his ears stick out. Chen Zhe Yuan To me looks a little bit Chen xiao a little when he was younger. I’m sure there are other actors who resemble but this is all I could think of lol

  • I always thought Dylan Wang looks like young Wallace Huo too, especially during the peak of WH's career when he was the most handsome....haha There is an individual head shot of DW and WH in white polo that if we put side by side we can really see the resemblances.

  • I agree on LGX. I saw a pictorial of his a few days ago and had to double take coz I thought he was WXY. Maybe in a decade, WXY would resemble LGX. ;)

  • I thought the same, he looks like LGX because they have similar nose shape, however I think WXY has Wallace’s eyes. Truly expressive.

• He's got a great vibe. I also like his voice. Is it dubbed?

  • No this is his own voice. There is a video where he dubs himself

    • Great! I'll look it up, thanks!

    • His voice stood out for me he sounds good. I thought he was going to be one of those actors where the voice actor does 90% of the acting lol

  • I second the voice
    It is an added asset for him
    It’s really quite expressive

• Breakout? Where?

  People should stop using these expressions. He hasn't broken out nor exploded. His popularity rose but an explosion is something vastly different.

  Not to mention Youku got caught in cheating with this drama's views. Lol surprise.

  • It doesn't matter though. He is getting popular anyways.

• Chen Xiao it is for the resemblance and charisma
  I like the way he acts with his eyes - not everyone does it well. He’s pretty good!
  The drama is reallh low budget (I cannot help but laugh that the town folks measure up to like 20 people and logic tells you this is not mass threat….) but when he appears in his red drape it gets “leveled” up for me hahahaha yes I’m shallow. Watching it for his Royal duke hotness, the fluff and no logic revenge plot

• I dont see the resemblance to Wallace who is more manly in aura even when he was young but I totally see it with Chen Xiao more in the vibe and mannerisms rather than facial features and i quite like him overall...
  I usually only see one chinese drama at a time and chose this one instead of Tale of Rose which i dont regret since even if it is slightly cartoonish and illogical, I am hooked by it anyway like a trainwreck i cannot look away from...
