This is a case where everyone knows they’ve divorced, but the couple never officially said so until today. Both Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy have posted the same message on Weibo saying they’re thankful for everything, and will remain family. The couple have one son, born 2017.
Heart’s Motive stars Huang Xiaoming as a lawyer who has been blacklisted by his industry for blowing the whistle on his firm. By chance, he helps to overturn a mysterious woman’s (Yan Ni) murder conviction, and regains fame and fortune. However, he soon discovers there’s more to her story than meets the eye.
The film will premiere on December 3rd.
Game Changer 紧急公关 (formerly 危机先生) focuses on crisis management as PR manager Lin Zhongshuo (Huang Xiaoming) is caught between protecting his clients’ interests and telling the public the truth. Costars include Cai Wenjing, Tan Zhuo and Zhang Bo.
The drama releases 2 episodes daily on CCTV-8.
Now this is my type of show! Woman Like Me / Sisters Who Make Waves 乘风破浪的姐姐 (lit. translation) is aimed at forming a mature-age girl group, and I am loving all the contestants (full list below) and producer Huang Xiaoming after watching the first episode.
The variety show airs every Friday at 12pm on Mango TV, and will be up on YouTube shortly thereafter.
Starring Huang Xiaoming and Yin Zheng, bromance + peking opera drama Winter Begonia will begin releasing episodes on iQiyi tonight. Charmaine Sheh costars as Huang Xiaoming’s jealous wife.
An accompanying show will tell the story behind each of the Peking Opera pieces in the show. It’ll be hosted by Peking Opera artist Wang Peiyu, who is perfect for this. She did a podcast doing something similar and it was entertaining and informative even for the casual listener.

Republican era bromance drama Winter Begonia, which still has no release date, has released a set of character poster and a video of the shooting session with Huang Shengyi and Huang Xiaoming looking like they’re going out on a hunt together. I just need this drama to air now so I have something to watch.
Everything is perfect in the trailer for the tragically beautiful drama Winter Begonia 鬓边不是海棠红. Yin Zheng stars as a Peking Opera star in Republican Era China while Huang Xiaoming plays his soulmate in this bromance drama about their love for each other, for a dying art, and for the world around them.
Thanks to my love-hate-relationship with Zhang Yunlei, I finally understood the Republican era craze for Chinese opera stars, so even the fan-cam of this trailer released a while ago made me tear up. Plus, Zhang Yunlei and Yang Jiulang are like the definition of an irl bromance that’s as close you can get to romantic love without actually being one.
Huang Xiaoming plays a former journalist who disappears after publishing fake news and returns a changed man after three years. He is employed by a top PR firm, and makes a name for himself in the field of crisis communication. Tan Zhuo, Zhang Bo and Cai Wenjing costar.
Directed by Hui Kaidong (Story of Yanxi Palace), the drama began filming a couple of weeks ago.
Glimpse into a decade of a Chengdu teahouse in this microfilm starring Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Dongyu Wang Ziwen, Zheng Shuang, Wang Kai, Qin Lan, Hu Yitian, Nazha, Ni Ni, Wu Xuanyi, Yamy, Wu Lei, Liu Yanchi, Li Xiaoran, Chen Zhengfei, Liu Xijun, and Jane Zhang.
