Xiao Zhan is Xiao Zhan

Weibo certification: actor, singer. Representative works "The Legend of Zanghai", "The Youth Memories", "The Untamed" and so on

The internet is losing its collective shit over the fact that Xiao Zhan has updated his Weibo profile. He is finally simply 'Xiao Zhan' after all these years. 🥲

He was the last member of X-NINE to remove the band from his name and profile. This is being taken to mean that all of X-NINE are finally fully free from their contract with WJJW.

He also removed DAYTOY from his name.

The other notable item is the update to his representative works, and the fact that he kept The Untamed among them.

All of this is currently trending on Weibo and throughout the international fandoms.

Xiao Zhan - Shanghai Leica Photo Exhibition

Leica is holding a photography exhibition in Shanghai that will be in place for one month, and the exhibition features four photographs from Xiao Zhan.

More information under the cut.

In the steep streets of Chongqing, the 'porter army' carries the mountainous city on their shoulders. Bamboo rods and ropes are both a means of livelihood and a memory of the city. When the light rail runs through the buildings, their labour chants are swallowed by the roar of machinery, but in their coarse palms there is still the memory of the old days. The camera captures the moment when they cross paths with the modern city - a concrete jungle rising from the ground. These images are not only an elegy for a fading trade, but also a testimony to how a city's outlines are reshaped with the passing of time.

Witness of the Century: When the Leica Meets China

07.26 - 08.25

Shanghai Postal Museum

No. 250, North Suzhou Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai

Exhibition Introduction

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Leica camera.

In 1925, the Leica camera was officially put into mass production and launched. This compact and portable camera created a new way of photography - photography has become flexible, low-key and natural, allowing photographers to capture the original, immediate and unmodified moments of real life.

On this centenary, the exhibition "Witness of the Century: When the Leica Meets China" pays tribute to the deep roots of the Leica and Chinese photographic culture. This one-month exhibition is held at the Shanghai Postal Museum.

In this exhibition, visitors can enjoy rare cameras and lenses from the early days to recent years, detailed design manuscripts, raw materials and components of the production process, antique advertisements and "Leica" magazine covers and other historical materials, as well as rich image works from Chinese and foreign Leica photographers with a creation time span of nearly a hundred years.

This exhibition not only traces the evolution of Leica Optical products, but is also a visual epic written with lenses.

In case you lost track of it all:

GG

Role Model Film Actor of the Year

Legend of Zanghai Drama of the Year

Weibo King

DD

Exploring the Unknown Documentary of the Year

Let's be clear: these kinds of platform-specific awards tend to be a bit unserious/lacking weight because platforms like Weibo, Tencent, etc. have an ulterior motive for highlighting the most popular artists. By associating themselves with such artists and by drawing those artists to their events, the platform can claim relevance and draw attention/viewers, etc.

Platforms are only ever motivated by attention, status and money - however those goals can be achieved.

Having said that, I am very proud of both of our boys, and I will never complain about them being celebrated and awarded for their accomplishments. They've both achieved so much.

I'm especially happy to see DD's passion project being celebrated and appreciated. He has been on a very personal journey these past couple of years, and he took a risk by doing what was best for him and by stepping a bit outside of the industry to go find himself and find his joy. I'm so glad he's being praised rather than punished for it.

Of course it helps that they created quality content that had real substance, but how a project like this would be received was never a certainty. I'm glad it's being appreciated. I want his choices and his efforts to be affirmed and validated in the strongest possible terms.

Seeing GG's accomplishments all collected together like that was also very powerful. He's been celebrated from practically day one of being in the entertainment industry (because people can immediately see he's special), but he's come such a long way. He pours so much into every opportunity - they both do - and it makes me so happy to see them recognized for their efforts.

I'm so proud of them both!!
