My dream AvenueX video would be her discussing the career trajectories and current level of fame vs. acting skills and ability of TJC compared to Yang Yang since she worked with both in their first projects. She was a PA on the 2010 version of The Dream of Red Mansions -- Yang Yang's first acting job. I would especially like to know how she thinks XL would have been had Tong Hua gotten her first choice and Yang Yang had accepted the role. Not that she would ever make such a video -- too controversial, I suspect, even for her.
Wow. I did not know that. Now I'm going to have pay attention to her Yang Yang reviews. I didn't realize Yang Yang was about the same age as Tan Jian Ci or they both started in film so young. Actually, I just read the MDL bio, and also didn't realize Yang Yang has pretty much had a golden acting career. I mean, he basically has only had male lead roles for his career -- though I think the only one I watched was Who Rules the World.
What I didn't understand was how Avenue X was ignorant of the fact that Tan Jian Ci was busy with M.I.C. for those years that she said he 'fell off the radar.' But I guess she doesn't follow Chinese music. And yes! I'd love to hear what she thinks about a Yang Yang XL.
I saw one interview where Tan Jian Ci said something like, his career rise has been slow, but felt that worked for him.
