The princes and princesses on the upcoming episode of Happy Camp (I can’t promise if it will be this week though~)
Gossip corner (such a long time since we haven’t done one! ><)
Edison Chen is currently dating 秦舒培, a Chinese super model. She isn’t as popular as she wish to be and ranted to Edison. As a follow up, he decided to insult Lin Zhiling (famous actress who debuted as a super model) on social media (with some pretty nasty expressions). He declares as a “Mainland Chinese” man, his incomes are lower because of people like Taiwanese Lin Zhiling.
Indeed, Edison Chen publicly insulted Lin Zhiling on weibo for been a “bitch” and a supporter of Taiwanese Independence. Chen is famous for his sex scandal in 2008 (which involved a lot of famous celebrities, you can find information on wikipedia) whereas, Zhiling is known for her elegant and smart personality. To my surprise, the online opinion is well divided, with a number giving the benefit of doubt to Zhiling but also ready to “kick her out” if she is indeed a supporter of Taiwan. His weibo itself has tens of thousand likes. I know this kind of online menace will not be put into practice (haters gonna hate right?) but it disgusts me that some netizens are so close minded. However, I also want to add a large number of people are also defending Lin Zhiling and doubting the virtues of a man willing to insult a woman for no good reason on social media.
Is Huang Zitao is going to participate with female actress in real man? I’m impressed lol
Zhu Xian is going to be hit of Summer I feel.

Unfortunately, this coming week’s Happy Camp seems to be a mishmash of guests from previous shows (Cheney Chen, Lin Gengxin, A-sa, Coco Lee, etc). Sigh…patience is a virtue.
How is Luhan not a girl?! I have never watched a Running Man episode so I can’t comment on his charms or lack thereof. Got me thinking…period dramas always use the girl-parading-as-a-man trope and fooling everyone, including the lead male (BTW, is supposedly very smart). I’ve always wanted to shout at the screen, “how are you so blind that you can’t tell that he is a she?!” But then I’m reminded that guys like Luhan exist.
“The Great Wall” has an epic cast!

Looool I’m not a fan of “Run Brother” yet but I’ve seen him on “Back to school S2” (though I’m not watching it for him ahas!) and there’s this part where he is in an English class and has to introduce himself to the class. He’s like “Hi everybody. My name is Luhan. I’m 26 years old. I’m a man, not “meng” (didn’t know the word “cute”)” bahahahahha i had a good laugh after that
LikeLike
Yess… Which is funny because they keep promoting the episode with ZLY and WC, but they release other ones (marketing tactic? probably)
Luhan is very smart and athletic in Run Brother, but also extremely innocent. Because all the guys on Run Brother are either old/tanned/(fat)/short/buff, he is well-known as the second most beautiful crew member, after Angelababy :P. I don’t watch that many of Luhan’s projects anymore, but he is indeed very sunny and innocent, also girly.
Haha, agree xD Guy-secretly-Girl are so obvious, they are my Sailor Moon with or without glasses 😛

Please PD team, do not take this role away from her like how she was pushed to 2nd lead for “The Rhapsody of a Summer Dream”
For her first leading role, to have Yan Kuan opposite her is a good start! Jia you! :DDDDD

Yes, still sad about this. And they choose a Korean actress as the lead >< Which frustrates me because Song Yi has more fan in China :"D, I guess the PD team wanted to push the drama internationally? Still, I was sad.
Yes, sounds interesting!

Taooo ❤ I wanna see more of him, he's the best in variety shows. Just finished watching EXO's showtime and his cut of charming daddy and fell in love. He's so adorable and silly. Please do another one altho he's filming A Chinese Odyssey and then an Asian tour in Nov and Famen Temple Code after that so when would this happen.. Happy ZX is released this weekend, soo soon. Li ying is so beautiful. Luhan somehow looks more feminine than normal.. he hates being called meng, his looks says otherwise tho

Yeaaa, an actual physical album that’s gonna be released worldwide.. way too excited for it. Have you heard his latest song, black white? He always looked good in EXO, but just got way hotter. He’s been doing alot since leaving, 2 EPs, then he filmed Railroad Tigers, Summer Portrait of a Nineteen Year-Old, Laws of the Jungle, The Game Changer, and now A Chinese Portrait.. all while writing and composing songs for and doing his MVs for his new album. Luhan actually looked more manly before his nose job, his cute button nose makes him look so cute tho

If Luhan doesn’t want to be mistaken for a girl, then he should stay away from period dramas/movies. They add long hair to you, make you wear this flowing outfit (especially in xianxia), etc. Presto, you’re a girl!

Oh wow, The Great Wall’s first press conference! I remember this was supposed to be one of the big 2016 blockbusters!
It’s one of the few movies I’ll be looking forward to this year, along with the Journey of the West 3D movie played by the original Monkey King.
Any dates on when the Great Wall and the Journey of the West will be released? These two hyped movies were all supposed to be released in 2016 – but it’s already half way through the year!

Why can’t be it an episode every day? 2 episodes per week will take too long for a 50 episodes drama, lol I’ll probably watch til BY disappears.
