There are bigger budget C-dramas on the shelf due to cancelled lead(s) longer than Night Wanderer but it’s still nice to see this will see the light of day. C-actor Fu Xing Bo was tapped earlier this year to replace cancelled male lead Deng Lun, with him filming his scenes against a green screen and will be AI-faceswapped into the … Continue reading →
The September Vogue covers are always the most coveted since it comes with the thickest Fall fashion season spread. For Vogue China this September 2025 also marks its 20th anniversary issue so it’s doubly prestigious to get the cover. This time it’s not one top actress but eleven assembled together all in red for the glamorous spread. For the 80 … Continue reading →
There are at least a handful of big budget high profile C-dramas held in abeyance due to the misconduct or scandal of one or both of the leads, and now another will be taking steps to try and air. Night Wanderer with Deng Lun and Ni Ni will be re-filming the male lead scenes with replacement lead Fu Xin Bo, … Continue reading →
The phenomenon that is smacking shirts (Chinese colloquial slang for wearing the same outfit) has really crossed country and industry lines so much so that it’s a stark reminder that there aren’t that many fashion houses out there. If we take the top ten from France, Italy, and US, chances are there is only so many red carpet, performance, and … Continue reading →
I think production sitting on long finished but unable to get airing permit C-dramas should quickly do this method before it’s fully outlawed. C-ent is reporting the Night Wanderer with the cancelled Deng Lun and Ni Ni is readying to air drop the drama before pulling it like BL-drama The Spirealm did earlier. Recently there was talk that another BL-drama … Continue reading →
This week Tencent held its own 2023 Tencent Video All Star Awards to celebrate the actors and actresses who did a Tencent project this year. It’s like the network drama years in South Korea so all attendees are there basically known he/she will get an award. And there were a lot of awards with very creative names so recipients could … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2023 iQiyi Scream Awards held in Macau and the young and pretty C-stars were out in attendance. This was a streaming platform event so the winners isn’t anything more that the platform paid to do their productions or will be doing one so it was more a social event than anything. I’m there for the C-actress … Continue reading →
I sense an intentional emulation of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet here with the sprawling staircase but since it works so well totally go for the same grandeur vibe. The 25th annual Shanghai International Film Festival opened over the weekend with a grand red carpet gala and so many Chinese and Hong Kong stars in attendance with movies to … Continue reading →
The cancel machine in C-ent is way more methodical and linear than in other Asian entertainments, if an actor or actress is deemed to have committed a transgression of moral turpitude and beyond (i.e. actual crimes) then it’s all the same consequence – complete erasure. C-actor Deng Lun went from flying high to cancelled this past March 2022 after it … Continue reading →
If the C-actresses are dressing way better than their K-counterparts on the red carpet, more diverse and experimental, they are also looking better makeup wise with rarely any overly BB-creamed face. K-actresses are so foundationally shellacked it detracts from the rest of the makeup technique but on the C-ent side there is apparently one top Chinese makeup artist by the … Continue reading →
There are SO MANY new and young acting stars in C-ent it’s actually made me drop off most of my C-drama watching because there are no true stars (yet) in that generation which captivate me like the group which launched the mid-aughts. This year Marie Claire China held a Women in Power evening night out that clearly had the dress … Continue reading →
It’s been some time since I saw so much glitz and glamour and this time it’s courtesy of C-ent which held the 2020 Weibo Night Awards despite it already being 2021. Better late than never and the ceremony feted popular C-stars in various categories that I’m less curious about than checking out the fasion. Yellow, bright canary yellow, as the … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi took a short maternity break and is back firing on all cylinders. She won the best dress of the night at the recent Bazaar China charity gala and this weekend at the 2019 Golden Rooster Awards also took everyone’s breath away in a white mermaid gown that looked like she had foam around her shoulders and … Continue reading →
