Lovely Gif,  JulyMoon  !    The Last Immortal is already aired and our sweetheart has moved on, not doing as much tantalizing teasing for it as what she did for Hidden Love or LLTG and WRTW before.  

We are awaiting The Legend of Jewelry now... although it is probably too early to expect it before the summer.  Meanwhile, you can check if you want to join the Challenge advertised earlier, a few posts before, if you are not too busy.

I am sure the keluli in the Rose Pavilion will be happy to welcome you for virtual tea and canelés.  :D

Thank you for the welcome. <3 

Oh yes, I've seen a scene on Youtube for The Last Immortal and immediately retreated to not spoiler myself. xD I might not end up watching it within this year though, since I set a higher goal for the MDL Watch Challenge this year and participate in some other challenges. ^-^' 

I looked at the challenge, but I can't join it this year. I'm too busy with other challenges and stuff. 

I'm still behind from last years, still need to watch Hidden Love and Love Like The Galaxy. I'm a mood watcher so even if I make plans for watching, they get messed up. Recently I completed Who Rules the World which has been sitting in my PTW since 2022 and loved it. 

I'd like to join! She's my favorite Chinese Actress since I've started watching in 2023.

1. What was your first drama of Zhao Lusi?

Who Rules The World. It's my first Cdrama that introduced me to the world of Chinese entertainment!

2. What’s your favorite drama of Zhao Lusi?

Love Like The Galaxy. I love the plot, characters, and the romance. I liked the family relationships the most. 

3. What’s your favorite thing about Zhao Lusi?

I love her charismatic personality and her acting. She does a good job in every one of the dramas I watched of hers.

4. Why did you decided to join this cult?

I thought it would be fun to join a space where we all appreciate the same actress.

5. Tell us something about yourself.

Most of the music I listen to is in a different language that I don't understand but I love the melody and tone of voice. One song I like is Zhou Lusi's song Hidden Heart (The Last Immortal opening).

Welcome to the club! ♡⁠(⁠>⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠<⁠)⁠♡

Thank you for the info! I'm looking forward to this drama. The scenes of the trailer/behind the scenes look beautiful yet intense. Wow! O.O

It's very quiet here, but lots of exchanges on the ZLS actress page.  The most remarkable news these days is probably this one :

Pictures from Weibo via GlobalGranary and X
My Gif from the TV news

On May 9, attentive watchers of her news must have noticed that she was officially announced by the 2024 Paris Olympics committee as one of the 50 rigorously selected torchbearers to welcome the game at Stage 10 in Gers, a town in the South of France. It did trend in ‘Weibo and other social media outlets.

17 May 2024: Lusi left  Chengdu for Toulouse, France where she was met by fans who patiently waited for her at the airport.

18 May 2024: She ran the 200 m stretch  in the relay race that will bring the torch to Paris on July 26 after having passed from hand to hand in 400 localities.  Since the Olympic flame arrived in the port of Marseilles on May 8, each stretch has been scheduled for an easy run of about 4 minutes with many different torchbearers taking part successively, and lanterns keep a part of the fire so it can't get extinguished on the way.

And some more about that event :

Relayed to X from xiaohongshu, a short speech in good English by Zhao Lusi on May 18, 2024, subtitled in French! (links to original X post) :   #ZhaoLusi (in English): I'm so... it's truly an honour to carry the torch... to be the torchbearer.. it's my honour.. and to represent my country so I'm so excited and thrilled! Come on! 

Jov @ wonwoncity on X also translated her full interview, post-running : https://twitter.com/wonwoncity/status/1792054611089711599

I'm so proud of her!

There's also a new song up,  《有你的快乐》 (links to  the original post on X to listen to the song). It's a Chinese version of an English 2008 song by Joanna Wang titled ‘lost in paradise’ but the direct translation of 有你的快乐 is “happiness with you”.  Rosy's voice is very pleasant.

Adding this Gif from the excerpt of interview that also highlighted some of Rosy's memorable roles (Love Like The Galaxy, and Hidden Love) together with the Olympic run (links to original twitter post)

"Zhao Lusi × CCTV6 News 20240519 The two-and-a-half-minute news report highlights Zhao Lusi's memorable roles, her domestic and international fame, and the national, international, cultural, and political significance she embodies as an Olympic torchbearer. Zhao Lusi (key points): I feel a mix of pressure and a sense of mission. It's an incredibly proud and honorable task to be here as a torchbearer. I still remember the day I received the email invitation on January 22nd. It was an unforgettable day, even half a year later. I was still filming at the time, and I reread the invitation five or six times, but I couldn't contain my excitement. Even now, after completing the torch relay, it still feels surreal."

Thanks for the updates!
