Chinese and Hong Kong stars Out in Force for the 25th Annual Shanghai International Film Festival

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 14, 2023 by ockoalaJune 14, 2023
Three women posing in glamorous evening gowns.

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 →

C-ent Gossip Reignites Dating Rumors Between Zhou Dong Yu and Liu Hao Ran that Have Been Swirling for Over a Year

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 25, 2022 by ockoalaSeptember 26, 2022
Text posts and images about romantic themes.

I think interest in a celebrity’s dating life naturally comes with their public facing jobs and for most of us (i.e. non fans) it’s a rubber necking curiosity. Like, it’s interesting to see how an actor or actress picks their real life partner and sometimes it’s totally not what would be assumed based on watching him/her act onscreen. With that … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 26, 2021 by ockoalaJune 25, 2021

Okay, this story is making mainstream papers and really hitting a nerve so worth delving into. Last week the latest period fantasy C-drama (xianxia genre which means gods and wuxia combined) Ancient Love Poetry was released starring Zhou Dong Yu and Xu Kai.

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 →

Zhou Dong Yu and the Chinese Bullying Movie Better Days Sweeps the 2020 Hong Kong Film Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 9, 2020 by ockoalaMay 8, 2020
Movie poster for "Better Days" featuring two characters.

This week the Hong Kong Film Association announced the winners of the prestigious Hong Kong Film Awards, held via a video telecast for the first time in the award history rather than one of the most star-studded red carpets and ceremonies in Asian cinema. For me the magnificence, resonance, and inspiring impact of movies that challenge the heart, mind, and … Continue reading →

The 2020 Weibo Awards, celebrating the 2019 year so perhaps the 2019 Weibo Awards would be more apt but it’s held this weekend in January 2020 so imma stick with this year, brought together China’s most popular stars and the platform where they get to curate and expand their popularity. The fashion looks remains my sole interest and it was … Continue reading →

This is a real work of art and coming 18 years after the original just makes it even more special. The theatrical release of the 2001 animated movie Spirited Away finally arrives in China next week as none of the famed animator Hayao Miyazaki‘s works have aired on the big screen in China until My Neighbor Totoro last December. Miyazaki … Continue reading →

Taiwan’s biggest movie awards night was this weekend with the 54th annual Golden Horse Awards, feting the best of cinematic achievements in 2017.

Being a drama aficionado is akin to trying to find the best fast food restaurant. The reviews are rarely worth the time spent to write it but the satisfying immediate fill the medium offers is nothing to scoff at. With that said, the high brow sibling that is movie making certainly deserves the heightened acclaim and with it the elevated … Continue reading →

Nothing looks as good as having a hottie doting fiancee by one side, and the star couple of Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen were definitely the major standout at the just held Weibo Awards in China. I feel like K-ent holds its awards at year end whereas C-ent holds it in January, before the lunar new year end. Weibo is … Continue reading →
