[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Okay, this is months and months late. I'm sorry. I can't really do a huge update post since my browser can't handle it and I don't have the time so this post will mostly just be major updates from each of them.

Kris was cast in Wong Kar Wai's upcoming movie "Blossoms"

<

Trans: Today, Kris Wu’s manager Chris Chen posted a photo of the novel “Blossoms” on Weibo and left comments in response to netizens: Kris Wu will be participating in Wong Karwai’s movie “Blossoms.” Sina got in contact exclusively with Chris Chen and he has confirmed the news as well as denied the rumor that Kris Wu will be participating in the drama Fu Yao. Previously, Zhang Ziyi posted a photo with Wong Karwai and wrote: “If you smile, you’ll blossom!” Netizens suspect that she will participate in the film.

The novel “Blossoms” won the 9th Mao Dun Literary Prize in 2015, and was selected as the 2013 Chinese Good Book by CCTV, honored as a distinguished long-length novel about Shanghai. Synopsis of the novel:

Depicting chores and trifles of urban life, such as grocery shopping and hosting a dinner party, “Blossoms” provides a vivid image of the daily life of ordinary Shanghai people. Focusing on a hundred characters, and several main ones, the whole story is carried out over two time-lines: from the 1960s to the mid-1970s, the end of the Cultural Revolution; and from the 1980s to the start of the 21st century. As the two time periods alternate, the book unveils the two faces of the city: the Shanghai of old and the modernized metropolis it is today.

Kris is currently doing two variety shows, 72 Floors of Mystery and The Rap of China. You can watch 72 Floors of Mystery subbed here. The Rap of China premieres tomorrow. You can watch the trailer here. He is cute with his female costar in 72 Floors. Here's a nice interview he did about The Rap of China where he explains his thoughts on hip hop.





xXx 4 is happening and the cast is coming back according to the director. Here they are singing praises about Kris lol:

He's the box office king among China's young actors (under 30)



He's also the first person to grace the cover of China's top 10 men's and women's magazines after he snagged Elle last May, here's a video of him reading English poetry.






Kris and Stephen Curry are.. friends?

I am LIVING for Kris and Zhao Liyin, they're adorable together. Luhan and Dilirabaare cute too but RMC is so blatant with the shipping sometimes lol. I'm excited for the Wong Kar Wai movie but knowing him, it'll be a couple of years before it sees the light of day.

I heard Jia is guesting on 72 floors soon so that should be a nice mini reunion.

Tao really impressed me with his acting in edge of innocence, I'm looking forward to his other works this year too.OP he released two new songs that I know of: Collateral Love, Expose and Promise

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

I came in for the Wong Kar Wai movie info. All I can say is . Good luck to Kris.

Totally agree with your comment.

WKW is notorious for being a director who takes years on a movie.

I've not really been keen on his last few movies, Blossom sound right up his street. But 100 characters, two timelines? Already sounds like it'll be 2046 mark II

:-/

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

yaaaas, finally!!! i just thought about this post today, i really missed it.

luhan's music continues to slay me, on call has been on repeat for weeks now
also is that one superstar show like we got married?

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Date Superstar isn't like We Got Married.. I think it's an interactive show between fans and stars? Not really sure tbh.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

lol it's nothing like it. it's more like they pick a fan and help fulfill their wish (if u are planning on watching it for luhan, he starts appearing from ep 3)

qiaoxin & cherrie on that show w/ luhan r so funny

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

i lovvvvvve dilraba. she is my absolute favorite person in the whole world, i love running man for introducing me to her. she's too cute. with and without luhan. they're such cute kids

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Dilraba is a gem! Hopefully she pops up in other variety shows

[suehoe.livejournal.com]

kris on a wkw??? unworthy tbh, i'd have expected better from him.

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

I'm just here to show love for Tao but I don't have much else to add lol. I hope these posts continue!

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting about kris' activities that the wkw movie and the chinese SMTM thing keep surprising me... wait that's the chinese SMTM right? W/ show luo also in it

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's the Chinese version of SMTM but no, Show Luo isn't in it

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

I'm so proud of my flourishing traitors~

Thrive, babies, thriiiiive

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

Ok i might have been wrong but the dilraba girl is the one who shot dear archimedes with sehun right?

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

No, she backed out of that project. He filmed it with Janice Wu who incidentally is also mentioned in this post as Tao's costar

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

dear archimedes is with xu ling yue not wu qian/janice wu - wu qian is instead in catman (sehun's move), and she's also going to star in tao's new drama and had starred in fighter of the destiny (luhan's drama that ended earlier this month)

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Oh my bad. And yeah she was one of the actors in Luhan's drama.

[soulsreverie.livejournal.com]

Thank you OP! Kris being a producer for SMTM china LOOOOL
He already has a catchphrase that trended on weibo, that star power

Dilireba is cute I hope she is still part of the cast after this season.

[ohmontauk.livejournal.com]

Speaking of that trend, this (http://weibo.com/1882460957/F9mi13ULG) killed me.

[soulsreverie.livejournal.com]

i am dying, that's hilarious.

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

i was so upset when the ~rumors~ were that she's not gonna be next season. i praying so hard that she is. i love that everyone takes care of her and care for her like a baby sister

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Luhan's music has been great. Even roleplay, though I still lol at him acting tough. Hope the new mini delivers.

It seems like Luhan is the last and only link of exo's chinaline.

[thatsoohot.livejournal.com]

their careers in china show the power of SM its amazing. SM knows it too

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I haven't followed China line much these days, but damn those Kris Bulgari pics almost made me want to start stanning him again lol

Im glad all of them are thriving! Get money, bbs!

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

thank you for the post, op! i was thinking about tao just yesterday evening :')

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

I really hope Jia succeeds in her home market <3 Fei was my bias in miss A but Jia always gave a 110% in all of their performances; she is really a tru performer.

[bauci.livejournal.com]

Oh, Chinese SMTM. I had already forgotten how much second hand embarrassment stanning Kris was.

[buckleyourboots.livejournal.com]

Tao shouting out Luhan was super cute oh my gosh I love them. :((

Thanks for the post OP!

[pinkwingsblack.livejournal.com]

so happy that my favs are slaying! just looking at what Kris has accomplished after leaving SM, it's obvious SM was keeping him back.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

I read TaoHan as TaoHun TT_______TT am I the only one who's missing this OTP?

[klauses.livejournal.com]

i'm so proud of all of them and all their success!! my bb tao always makes me smile.
