So last month in May what should have been a high profile premiere for a big budget C-drama ended up flopping and slinking into the annals of forgettable dramas. Modern romance Lady Liberty adapted from the novel Single Woman by famed novelist Yi Shu was supposed to be Tang Yan’s first big drama since getting a career boost resurgence from … Continue reading →
Ohhhhh this is the kind of petty entertainment industry tea I love! So harmless and yet so much hurt feelings all around lol! This week jewelry house Tiffany held a star-studded event in China where all it’s big name brand ambassadors and spokesperson stars were invited and that’s when it all went down. Top actress Zhang Zi Yi was supposed … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the same voice recording could end up affecting C-actress Tang Yan negatively in two different ways. The leaked voice recording from the C-drama Blossoms Shanghai production crew meeting has had multiple ramifications. For Tang Yan, the first was hearing director Wong Kar Wei criticize her for being fake, publicly cultivating a reputation of hard working and polite … Continue reading →
C-actress Tang Yan must’ve felt like the last week was getting sideswiped by a train with the Wong Kar Wei voice recording leak speaking negatively about her. But that’ll pass and what’s more concerning is that she may be returning to less serious projects due to not getting the big serious works she thought she would get after the breakout … Continue reading →
C-ent has juicy dirt this weekend with the released recording by an unknown screenwriter person who claims he worked on award winning C-drama Blossoms Shanghai but got no credit and was removed. The recording is of a conversation with BH’s famous director Wong Kar Wai where he discussed, among other topics, one of his leading actresses in that drama Tang … Continue reading →
This xianxia drama was only filmed in late 2023 but it feels more old school than that, probably because it just looks mid budget and overall like someone tried to copy and paste hit xianxia dramas but the result comes across as cobbled together. Of course the previews could be wrong and the upcoming A Moment But Forever turns out … Continue reading →
So there are new posters, stills, and a first teaser out already for modern C-drama Lady Liberty (Du Shen Nu Ren 独身女人) based on the same name female-centric novel. The drama stars Tang Yan as the titular single woman or lady liberty as she embarks on a reinvention of herself after heartbreak, and is also a reinvention of her career … Continue reading →
The number of dramas arriving next month in December 2024 has increased yet again, with news that iQiyi will release A Moment But Forever. It feels like a lifetime ago it seems when this drama was announced but it actually filmed last year but that was prior to female lead Tang Yan‘s big career break this year with Blossoms Shanghai. … Continue reading →
I feel like Tang Yan and her next drama Lady Liberty is trying to capture the same hit and zeitgeist that Crystal Liu did with her The Tale of Rose, big name female lead centric with multiple big name male leads in sectional stories woven through her life. Nothing wrong with that and it’s nice to have her get her … 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 →
There was a slight blip in C-actress Tang Yan‘s meteoric second act rise this year when she didn’t win a major Best Actress award that she was the front runner for but she’s not letting it harsh her glow. She walked the runway for Le Défilé L’oréal this week in Paris and absolutely held her own. Sure the dress and cloak … Continue reading →
Well this is not the smartest move if you ask me, but again C-actress Tang Yan‘s fandom hasn’t been known to be the savviest. Her long ago filmed period C-drama A Moment But Forever with Liu Xue Yi is reportedly airing soon, this summer so likely next month in August or early September. Her fandom announced this week that it … Continue reading →
Things change so quickly in the entertainment industry and for C-actress Tang Yan it was one awards ceremony. She was riding the high of C-drama Blossoms Shanghai for the past 6 months and was the front runner for the Best Actress award at the 2024 Magnolia Awards held last week at the end of June. Zhou Yun ended up winning … Continue reading →
