72 Floors of Mystery’s shooting with Zhao Li Ying, sole female member

It is happening! First shooting of variety show 72 Floors of Mystery (七十二层奇楼) with their sole female member, Zhao Li Ying, has commenced! I was really worried about our girl but the fan-taken photos assured me that she looks happy and at ease. If this were Running Man, I would put my trust in Yoo Jae Suk’s awesome MC skills, but it’s not, so I can only hope, everything goes smoothly for everyone ~ The other male members include Simon Yam, Kris Wu, Leo Wu Lei, Wowkie Zhang, and Wang Xiao Li.

EDIT: ADDED FIRST TRAILER! The show airs on 5/5!

Beauty And The Beast was a let down on my end, didn’t feel the magical sweep of the romance, top-notch graphics and animation though, and I do love the bantering of the various house objects – they, to me, brought magic to the film. On the other hand, Kong: Skull Island was an unexpected enjoyment. I came for Tom Hiddleston but stayed for Kong; what a surprising twist to put us humans as the bad guys. What I also didn’t anticipate was the beauty-and-the-beast element placed at the end. I swooned. Was surprised to see Jing Tian in the movie…..who was absolutely disposable for all points and purposes. Lol. And you know I adore her but here, she was just there.

Lin Yun joins Wu Lei’s Fights Break Sphere, and first stills

Ah, so after the initial rumored cast was exposed back in November, we finally have our confirmed cast and first batch of wintry stills for Leo Wu Lei‘s next epic costume drama, Fights Break Sphere, adapted from Battle Through the Heavens (斗破苍穹), a xianxia novel written by Tian Can Tu Dou with over 1000 chapters. Male lead was confirmed months ago for Wu Lei’s casting and now we have his female lead in Lin Yun, a film actress who broke into the scene by playing the mermaid in Stephen Chow’s movie, The Mermaid. She’s 20 to Leo’s 17. Very close! Her character, Xiao Xun Er, is adopted by male lead’s family and his childhood friend, very loyal and dedicated to him.
