This is the first time where the leader kept switching places. It went from Zhang Bichen’s Nianlun to M.I.C.’s theme for the drama that is still never going to air before settling on Zhang Jie‘s Truth. Also, I really need someone to convince me that Wang Hao is not planning to host drug parties because everything about his store from their slogan to logo to the trap music screams Chinese-entertainment-ban-for-life.
Lunar New Year Performances Round-Up
Remind me why she haven’t been in any ancient dramas lately?
My picks. Note that I have no music tastes and most choices are purely based on prettiness. Hence why Tong Liya gets photos but no links to the performance, because the rest of the show must have switched costume and stage designers.
For the first time ever, the local channels completely overwhelmed CCTV in every aspect. Better songs, dances, stage design, and even funnier and less misogynist skits.
Best Song-Stage Combo: While you’re still young by Hua Chenyu
CCTV designers should be taking notes from the simple but so effective stage design for this. Also, I can’t believe this song wasn’t popular before.

Music Monday: Last Monday of 2014
Good Morning Last Monday of 2014! Thanks idarklight for keeping Music Monday as consistent as possible! Here’s to consistency in 2015! …
Another cute acoustic song to add to my playlist. Really, I should just rename the playlist as My 徐良 Xu Liang. His new album 《我》, a composite of ten duets, features a different female artist on each song, from Guo Jing to Happy Camp’s Wu Xin. Seriously! How does this happen? I Will Be OK features Xiao Yan Zi 李晟 Li Chen.
“Quasimodo’s Gift” brings back the alien in Hua Chenyu
Can we just talk about how much better the poster for this extended MV is than most album/film posters?
When a lonely alien stuck on Earth meets a depressed clown next door, an unlikely friendship forms.
For “martian” Hua Chenyu‘s latest album, Quasimodo’s Gift, ee-Media went all out with a fantastical extended MV directed by the amazing Peng Youlun. You can listen to Hua Chenyu album on iTunes and watch the microfilm/extended MV below:

Here to make Monday a little easier =)
Since most Chinese children begin learning English in elementary school it only makes sense to create an English version of “Where are we going? Dad!” theme song.

Super Boys preserve youth and passion in opening MV
Do you recollect when you begun to grow old?
Not only is the message beautiful and filming impeccable for the latest opening for the 2013 Super Boys , but the entrance itself blends with the opening clip. eeMedia’s N13 visual workshop has made great use of on-stage black and white this Super Boys before with Poker Face, and uses it again this time to connect the opening clip and the entrance, but now to show the contrast between the bright red passion of the boys versus the gray world. Watch it below and translations below the cut.
Laure Shang lights up dreams in “The Star”
Do you remember your childhood dreams?
As a part of the “Firefly Project” that aims to light up areas unreached by electricity supply, Laure Shang sings of the innocence of childhood her self-composed song of “The Star.” The song praises the pure and carefree dreams of children, and ends asking the listener to lay in bed once more to look to the stars and remember their truest selves, the child within them that has yet gotten lost in the outside world. Also listen to the live version with Hua Chenyu here, where he literally lights up.
