Friday Photoshoots: Liu Hao Ran, Tong Li Ya, Deng Lun, Wu Lei and More
If I announced each time I was back at the beginning of these posts, they’d probably all start with it. So from now on lets just promise to pretend I didn’t miss any weeks. But nevertheless, another week has ended so here are some pretty photos to brighten up the start of your weekend~.
Lu Han and Wu Lei transcend time and space to meet each other in Cross Fire
Cross Fire (穿越火线) is a modern drama about esports featuring two players at different time period meeting and encouraging each other. Lu Han plays captain of a team which has been slowly losing steam over the years and Wu Lei plays a genius in the gaming world while in reality he’s bound to a wheelchair.
Other tidbit: Cross Fire is an online game developed by Smilegate Entertainment for Microsoft Word. A film adaptation is in the making.
Airing 7/20!
First stills of Chang Ge Xing with Dilireba, Wu Lei, Zhao Lu Si, and Liu Yu Ning
Chang Ge Xing aka Song of the Long March (長歌行) is adapted from the manhua of the same name written by Xia Da. It follows our heroine, who’s a princess on the run. Her father is Crown Prince Li but after the new Emperor ascended the throne, he ordered his brothers and families put to death. She escapes, fakes her own death, disguises herself as a male and plots her revenge against the new Emperor, becoming a fierce military leader in the process. The manhua is highly rated among fans and has solid rating of 9 on douban. Readers also poured their hearts out for the arts as well.
Reviews are promising, our heroine sounds awesome – merciless and highly intelligent. Since she was young, she was trained in martial arts and battle strategies, so she holds her own in a fight. Our male protagonist is no less of a worthy character – he’s the adopted son of Jieli Khan, a leader of his own army, who is known for his ruthlessness and doing things his ways in the beginning. He slowly melts that attitude and begins to realize how his actions could affect those around him after meeting our leading lady. But he doesn’t know SHE is a SHE for a little bit. HEH.
Drama adaptation of Chang Ge Xing confirms Dilireba, Wu Lei, and Zhao Lu Si
Hmmm, I don’t know what to say about this casting choice. It’s a beautiful group of people for sure but Wu Lei romancing Dilireba is a little odd. Lol. Well, filming has just begun for those interested. The original male lead is Qu Chu Xiao who had to bow out due to management issue.

I always have hopes in the novel description and the drama adaptation hasn’t been accurate …..at all in recent years. Lol. I really do hope she kicks A$$!!

Gosh, gosh. Baby Wu Lei needs a few years to really execute that general look. xD

Movie Review: Shadow (Cmovie, 2018)
A dying army commander, an indolent emperor, a man trapped in servitude and a plot to take back a kingdom’s lost territory. This is the core of the move Shadow, which sees director, Zhang Yimou, reuniting with his House of Flying Daggers cinematographer, Zhao Xiaoding, for another visually enticing, as well as intriguing, film. I’d read a lot of great things about this movie and when I saw that it was posted to LeTV’s official YouTube page, I had to watch it.
