Yuanyuanzi

No reliable source, so better not posting here.

Yuanyuan is confirmed to attend Weibo Night 😊
So glad to see him again, I really miss him 😭

Haha I really love your profile picture! It’s so cute just like Yuanyuan 😆

Last night (China time), CELINE Official Weibo posted:
@Chen Zheyuan – Appeared at the CELINE Chinese New Year Gala.

The post received 120,000 likes.

Last year, when he attended the CELINE Summer Fashion Show, the post featuring him on CELINE Official Weibo gained 1.26 million likes.

His engagement with the brand is quite strong 😊

I’m not sure either. I don’t see them holding fan meetings but many of them do have concerts in China. There might be some regulations that prevent fan meetings though I could be wrong.

CZY hasn’t held any fan meetings either in China or overseas but iQIYI has used him to promote the platform and organized events in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
These weren’t actual fan meetings but at least fans could meet him in person.

Congratulations to http://t.cn/A637Psk2Chen Zheyuan's Super Topic for becoming the 【Shining Diamond Super Topic of the Year】

From me, thank you to all Chinese Yuanbao for sharing Yuanyuan’s news, reuters updates, photos, videos and so on.
Without you all, I honestly wouldn’t know where to find a place to follow Yuanyuan 🥹

He’s trying not to be typecast. That’s why he accepts a variety of roles instead of sticking to idol dramas, his choices speak for themselves.
He also transforms himself for each role which is why we can’t see any trace of DJX in FSG or even of his real self.
Many people may like him because of DJX and expect him to behave the same way 😂 but that’s completely not the case. After following him for a while, I’ve realized that there’s no trace of him in his characters at all even the way he speaks is quite different in each drama.

I don’t know about the dubbing schedule either.
He went back to Shenzhen with his mom after the Celine event, so I’m not sure where the dubbing will take place maybe Beijing.
Let’s see if he flies back to Beijing again. If they don’t let him dub his own voice in the drama, I’ll seriously curse the production team for wasting such a big part of his talent 🫤

Fated Hearts is the costume drama that made everyone realize CZY can do voice acting 😆 Because he has a modern, boyish face, many people say he doesn’t suit costume dramas. Still, he wanted to improve and accepted this role.
Thanks to the production team and everyone involved for making such a great drama except iQIYI. Not you. You didn’t do anything, you just broadcast it 😑

Congrats! and every drama on the list! 😊

Hope we’ll get good news in February 😉

Fans have said that he looks much healthier now compared to when he was filming JSWP. During that period, he was extremely thin because the costumes required him to stay slim along with the tight schedule.
He naturally has some baby fat on his face which can make him look immature for the costume drama, so he went on a diet to appear more mature as well.
He was only truly happy when he could eat freely again after filming ended. Poor thing.

Yeah he always says to trust him and not to worry about him too much.
He just wants his fans to be happy and not fight with others because of him hahahaha.

I really love his Celine Gala look and these photos were taken by his fansite.
Such a handsome and beautiful young man with bright eyes and clear skin that practically glows in the dark, seeing him act in a modern drama with this look would be a huge bonus for us fans 😭 This look is even better than DJX.

Strongly agree!! Speaking of his audiences outside China, I was really surprised to find that he has many Indian fans (at least from what I assume). They seem to have followed him from Our Secret and later watched the Hindi-dubbed version of Hidden Love on Youku’s official YouTube channel. Many comments mentioned that they had watched Our Secret before with 13K upvote.
If he does act in a modern drama, I hope it won’t be on iQIYI, since iQIYI dramas aren’t available on Netflix. It would be better if it were with Youku or Tencent.

YES!!! Sounds great!
But can we get a more innovative plot instead of just the CEO and the naïve girl trope?

Actually, there’s a melon going around about a CCTV primetime drama called Seventh Son, in which he would play one of the sons.
However, since nothing is official, I don’t want to rely on it or believe it. Otherwise, people will later say it’s been changed to another actor and that CZY has been replaced blah blah blah, the same old tactics from last year’s rumors.

I kind of like the peaceful vibe on Weibo right now, no loud rumor-mongering everywhere and no one using it as an excuse to slander CZY again.

He said there’s no need to worry about him, that he’s just resting for a while and I actually agree. I understand that we all miss seeing his Reuters and want to watch his dramas every half year hahaha me too 😅

They haven’t submitted the drama for distribution licensing yet. It’s still in post-production and I believe CZY is currently working on dubbing.
For now, all we can do is wait. This process usually takes two to three months or even longer.
As a result, the drama will most likely air in the summer or later. If we’re lucky enough, we might get to watch it in Q2.

I’m not sure whether you’re familiar with the Chinese entertainment industry but what I can say is that K-dramas generally have a wider audience while Chinese actors and actresses tend to have more die-hard fans who are willing to spend money to support them.

It’s not just CZY or Neo, Chinese actors and actresses clearly dominate the leaderboard on this website. Giving a heart, like or vote the drama doesn’t cost anything but sending flowers requires money. That’s something only die-hard fans or fans who truly appreciate the actors would do.

I think it’s similar to K-pop. K-pop fans are also very loyal and willing to spend money to buy albums or digital songs or to vote for their favorite artists with money. While K-dramas are still more popular worldwide, in recent years Chinese dramas have also been attracting a growing number of viewers.

I don’t think we should use the number of flowers as a way to judge anything. It mainly reflects how willing fans are to spend money on their favorites, not necessarily who is more popular in China, Korea or globally 😊

You are right. Ji Chang Wook might be the most liked actor on this platform. K-actors are far more popular and widely recognized by audiences than Chinese actors, so it’s not a mystery at all.

Yeah 😭😭

But in the end, it is what it is 🙃
