This has to be one of my favorite photoshoots of the year. The photoshoot is natural and showcases Jing Boran’s unique youthful nonchalance, but is also highly stylized with a unique Latin American mixed with Italian aesthetic.
Stills, posters, and photoshoots that caught out eyes this week. What caught yours?
Fan Bingbing and photographer Liu Zongyuan paint a delicate summer scene in this latest photoshoot. Liu Zongyuan really has a knack for capturing a traditional Chinese aesthetic while using almost solely Western tools, and this is Fan Bingbing at her best.

Two upcoming late-Republican/Pre-revolution dramas, The National Southwest Associated University and Us with Wang Hedi and Zhou Ye, and A Love Never Lost with Li Xian and Chun Xia, have both recently released stills.
It’s pretty rare to use popular young actors for this period, but the casting for both seem spot-on . Wang Hedi and Zhou Ye look perfect for the wide-eyed university students of the era, and Li Xian and Chun Xia are both very solid actors who can blend flawlessly into the era. Plus, this is Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Chun Xia’s first leading drama role, so I’m actually really interested in the two projects. Whose stills makes you want to watch their dramas?

Eva Huang is a human-butterfly-bird hatching from an egg in this pretty but also pretty weird photoshoot. I’m not sure if the photoshoot team knows that just because butterflies have wings doesn’t meant they are birds that hatch from an egg in a nest, but it’s pretty so we’ll forgive them.
The actress is currently in girl group reality show Sisters Who Make Waves.

A round-up of a couple of my favorite stages since the last post. If you missed it, XDramaX also did a Sisters Who Make Waves round-up.
A Tim Burton film turned into a stage, Miss Freak is easily my favorite since River. The make-up and costumes, the stage, and the choreography are all perfectly on theme, as is the performance.
Ju Jingyi is cuter than ever in the trailer for her latest drama, In a Class of Her Own 漂亮书生 with Song Weilong. I feel like this might be the drama with her that has the best (aka least) filters? [Extended Synopsis]
