I particularly like this one as well, because of how his waist is emphasized. Sometimes the cut of his suits is a bit wrong (at events), he has a narrower frame so he needs the suit to sit well. Some of his suits (can't recall a specific example, or maybe what he wore during the Mango event afterwards, I noticed that the host's (He Jiong) suit was really well tailored to him, in comparison to ZYL that had a poorer fit) create a sort of fake hourglass figure for him, very nice on women;,on men less desirable; because the waist of the jacket is quite high and then flares out too much in the lower part, creating an illusion of hips. Then his hips appear almost as wide as his shoulders, especially as these suits are particularly tight in the back and shoulders. The better suits show off his trim waist and hips. Shen Wei's suits were all great, and in magazines also mostly. But I think they're getting better overall. No point in wearing an expensive brand name suit if it doesn't fit well after all, for the person or for the brand.

He Jiong in one Phantacity episode I think was wearing a really nice shirt as well (https://youtu.be/moP23aY2WdA?t=15m3s). I really like this type of shirts. They have a more sturdy/thick front panel, so that you don't need to wear an undershirt, but then the sides and back can be of a very light and breathable material. Also cut tightly into the waist. Looks particularly nice on men. And is probably comfortable. 

Anyway, sorry about this random interlude into men's fashion. I'm also weird about textures, I don't like velvety and thick materials (with the exception of nice wool).

@katthy Absolutely he's allowed to smoke privately if he wants, none of my business. What disturbs me is fans saying absolutely stupid stuff like: I used to dislike men smoking, but now that Zhu Yi Long does it, it looks hot. 

And then creating whole collages of him smoking. With other fans commenting that it looks hot. This stuff shouldn't be glorified and spread around as a good and sexy thing. My point is exactly that his smoking should be allowed to be kept low key and private. 

But yeah, personally I do hope he can quit, because it is horrendous for health, not just for cancer risk, but a risk factor for a lot of immune-related illnesses that you wouldn't expect, bad for the skin, teeth, etc. (So is the air in Beijing, to be fair.) And, as can be seen, people are extremely susceptible to a celebrity's influence. But it seems he has graduated to vaping (slightly healthier alternative), since otherwise there would be pictures of him smoking from the summer. Which again, I hope he can manage to keep private, and is allowed to do so, because a lot of people seem to assume it is completely harmless. And vaping at least so far is thankfully seen as dorky, and we don't need ZYL to revolutionize and make vaping sexy suddenly.

https://weibo.com/6532057137/GBpzX1AMR A trailer for his Phantacity performane. The host says something like that the judge or expert has one thing she's displeased about. And then they censored it. But I bet it was something like I wish it was even longer. 

It seems that he went with heavy makeup, and the idea behind it was that the bodily performance and singing should convey the emotion. Remember, people were criticizing that his "posture is bad", which turns out meant that his bodily acting was stiff in their opinion (they only looked at Shen Wei, and not his other characters, and mistook characterization as a flaw). So Zhu Yi Long sneered in his heart and said, look, I can!

So excited for this!

 

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@BreezeC I think I'm glad they cut it because it really is very violent and extra disturbing because it's sort of between a teacher and a student. And I liked how they used his creeping in the classroom scene to create a sense of foreboding, so I think it didn't fit for the pace of the show either. But I like that it's being released now, despite the drama surrounding it. He is so creepy in it. Anyway, isn't it nice that people get to see more of his awesome acting, I don't really get the idea behind this attack. 

If it would've been in the show, more people would dislike the weaselly loser noodle Ye Zun like me ; ) (I think he's a good villain, but, you creepy whiner with a brother complex, many people have unhappy childhoods without becoming raging psychopaths).

This type of thing is a bit distressing to see (read the fans comments). How come people are so easily influenced. But he has been keeping it really low key since his popularity, so I hope he can keep doing that or quit altogether. It is really sad to see kids being influenced in an unhealthy direction.

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@paopaolong thanks! I've been curious for a while about what there is to make fun of in his name. I seem to recall I even checked that it also sounds like pig but I couldn't believe that's what people would make fun of :D. I thought maybe one dragon sounds a bit like a hippy name or something. Pig one dragon sounds quite cute. I feel like the dragon will roast the pig and it will be very tasty and satisfying. And also sounds like a mini zoo. I don't know, I'm a bit weird but I like it, I like animals. And dragon is a badass name to have. 

I'm so hungry. 

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@paopaolong wow. That really looks like him from that angle. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I didn't get the joke about his own name, could you explain a bit? (edit: ok, so it reads something like pig the dragon or pig and dragon. His name can sound like pig? I bet those jokes are familiar to him from elementary school if that's the case. Pigs are very smart and clean animals, not to mention tasty :)) 

I want it to be Sunday already

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

He looks so fit in that latest behind the scenes clip when they were filming Lou Fu Sheng's dad's story. Crazy fans please stop stalking him so he can go back to swimming and the gym, I have no alterior motives at all for wanting this. Not one. My motivations are pure.

 

... I won't comment on the pictures with kids. I feel like any man must know they stab at a woman's heart when they're gentle with kids or animals. I'm not strong enough to look at it.. Must resist and remain sane..

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

I think it's so great that the LV event he chose to go to is a gallery opening. Now his fans hopefully can be motivated to visit the exhibition. Curiosity and exploring outside of the curriculum is such an important part of education : ) Also the travel guide is one of their less exclusive items (despite my personal opinions about its usefulness ; )). 

Is there any information about what the customized z5 will look like?

I think he looks a bit healthier and plumper with the shorter hairdo. Or maybe the 1 day with his family worked miracles. People were commenting about his airport appearance that he looks like he's 18. Luckily not, ew, but he definitely looks young and healthy : )

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@paopaolong Awh. Poor you. I totally understand that since people have negative emotions they don't want to buy. I don't think it's the job of fans anyway to frantically buy things. The brand needs to work to get the trust back over time, if they manage. I noticed that people were talking about plastic surgery accusations, but since I didn't understand clearly I didn't want to bring it up and upset people. If it helps, I think for ZYL it doesn't hurt so much that some random person either thinks or was paid to say that he looks ugly or had plastic surgeries or whatnot, because he knows he hasn't and he can look in the mirror and see he isn't. But he doesn't like these messy and ugly things and doesn't want his fans to be hurt because of him. Maybe it's good that he's on a flight, so that people at SKopf have some time to wake up and form a plan on how to deal with this. Ultimately it's in ZYL's interests that this gets resolved well and doesn't end on a sour note. It certainly isn't in SKopf's interests to have all of this happen, so if this isn't an accidental case of idiocy, then someone is manipulating the situation. In that case it's best to try to remain calm, get some sleep, and give some time for people to figure out how to go forward. And not worry so much about buying or not buying, but more about how ZYL can maintain good professional relationships. Probably that can happen if fans can leave some space for them to figure things out. It's good that he has a strong support, but then we don't want to be helicopter parents. And about the apology not being enough, I think with cases like this no single action can be enough to heal the hurt, so there just needs to be time to see if they're going step by step on the road to repair this. 

It sounds like this is too upsetting for you to be calm about it, so I think the best medicine is to distract yourself with exciting stuff, like his coming Phantacity performance, which is going to be amazing : ) I hope your day won't be totally ruined because all of this, try to sneak some sleep in.

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@katthy @TheRedDragon SKopf have released an apology statement, basically they're saying these are the views of the anchor and not the company. They apologize to ZYL and to the fans for not supervising their 3rd party organizers better. They will consult about what legal action can and should be taken in regards to those people. They say that they have no doubts about ZYL's brand image or artistic integrity and felt very happy about the cooperation due to ZYL's hardworking attitude.

Of course this doesn't erase things, but maybe if they continue slowly working together and have an open attitude about this, it can heal. Anyway, in my opinion it is not necessary for fans to buy products that are endorsed if they're not interested in them in the first place. Endorsements are to create curiosity and maintain relavance, and associate brands with the good image of celebrities, but fans don't need to hike up their sales. I think it's more beneficial /the aim for brands to just start a good and lasting relationship with customers due to being introduced to them via the celebrity. So maybe this buying craze by ZYL fans can lessen a bit now, otherwise sooner or later the fans will start to get tired and feel like they're getting used. Even though in my opinion that's totally not the point of endorsements. Being a fan is not a job, it's not a life, we should do things that bring pleasure or that are important to us e.g. on principle, but I bet ZYL doesn't want to be a burden on anyone. I mean, of course I understand if people want to buy something to smell like him or whatever, but maybe 1 is enough, people don't need to buy enough shower mousse to smell like spring through a nuclear winter.

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@TheRedDragon Okay, but unless you speak Chinese we are not going to change anything anyway, couldn't buy before, won't buy now, no difference. So no need to ruin our mood, the chinese fans have raised complaints and the relevant people need to handle it. All this marketing stuff in china is a very dark business, ZYL is feeding a lot of families who are hired to talk badly about him online, the brands like Lenovo and Huawei are trying to manipulate fans to have wars between themselves, this thing is coming out right when he had his LV event, etc. But that is all something we can do little about, and anyway has little to do with real life. Who knows, maybe these 2 people are really so incompetent they gossip when there's a live event about to start and don't notice it started, maybe chinese SKopf has internal division and staff are causing trouble for each other, maybe these people got paid to create bad press. In any case, this has little to do with ZYL and even less with international fans. The safest way not to get played is not to play along with such unpleasantness. Today he had an event with LV, so it would be more useful for him if people talked about that more. 

Bottom line, ZYL is a good person, can act well and is handsome. So ridiculous stuff like this won't have a longlasting impact. People and companies will want to cooperate. He will continue to act : )

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@TheRedDragon The chinese branch was notified, so I think we here can remain calm, no need to be upset because of people who aren't very nice and unfortunately not very smart either, since they don't know how live broadcasts operate. They will apologize etc. The best thing for ZYL is if this doesn't become so huge it affects his other commitments. I can't really imagine how they can salvage the cooperation, but luckily that's not my problem   

 

For those not in the loop, chinese Schwartzkopf announced ZYL as a spokesperson. Then yesterday or today their staff had a live broadcast and for some inexplicable reason, 2 staff members were gossiping amongst each other that ZYL looks ugly and old and anyway his fans are poor and can't afford to buy stuff (everything obviously absurdly untrue). Weird stuff. His fans are obviously upset that SKopf employees are disrespecting their own spokesperson and his fans, the consumers, and are demanding an apology. Since it's night there the company hasn't had time to respond. ZYL is already on a flight to Sidney so luckily he won't have to deal with this nonsense. 

Anyway, people who think ZYL is ugly have anyway problems with their eyes or how their brain processes visual information, so let us have mercy and not get angry. Perhaps they are only attracted to other unkind people, after all, tastes are different and there's no arguing over them.

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@biskotmeri I doubt Zhu Yi Long knows about the Johnny Depp incidents. The information space in China vs west is different, then he's probably not the type to pay attention to celebrity gossip (as opposed to world news). Even if he has heard of it, you are probably aware of the sexist bias that went on in the reporting, so in that case he would have probably only heard of it as allegations, and not about the whole mess of it. And he seems like someone who wouldn't want to read anything further, because he doesn't like the messy and sordid things. But quite likely he has no clue at all. So don't take his comment as a support for Depp's actions or such actions in general. Before all this came out I also enjoyed e.g Edward Scissorhands etc. and Depp seemed like he was a chill guy. But apparently not. Anyway, it seems it's a mistake to respect any old men in Hollywood : p 

As for ZYL, based on his overall behavior and character, combined with the fact he has mentioned his father never spanked him and is a very kind father (since such behavior can be learned), I think at least when it comes to violence against women, there doesn't seem to be any cause for concern as of now : ) Otherwise we wouldn't like him, would we. 

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@paopaolong Thanks! I kept thinking it's somehow wrong or to do with October, because why would they ask about November already and even considered it might be the first of october, but then kept wondering why they would ask about a specific date : p

 

I guess they analyse him a lot in film school then. K-pop artists still mention, what's his name, beat up Rihanna, (literally googled 'beat up rihanna') Chris Brown in a positive key. If it were widely known there what type of people they are I'm sure people would be disgusted.

 

I watched a couple of episodes of Phantacity on youtube that had english subs, and I think that show fits him really well and is a good opportunity. Really glad he got to work with someone he respects. One step closer to Jiang Wen who he wouldn't mind playing a gay couple or any other role with as long as he gets to learn from him ; ) Presumably Jiang Wen is a decent person and doesn't beat up women in his spare time? I would hate to not wish for the fruition of another one of his dreams : p

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

So a kind fan posted the video with floating chinese subs, which means I coulld easily google translate them, mwahaha. 

As always, since I don't understand Chinese, expect mistakes. And I'm translating more what I think the meaning would be in english, rather than his actual sentence, because how would I know, I don't understand Chinese : p

 

What plans do you have for the 1st of October?
October 1st? October 1st I should be in Australia.
But I'm going for work, not to play.

... (no subs)

Come and appreciate his relationship.

 

[No sub for question]

In fact it's really rare recently.
Sometimes I will go to see exhibitions.
When I was young I liked to collect shoes and stuff.

 

What do you think is the most attractive aspect of this brand?
I think it is not only a concept of a luxury brand. It has things like suitcases and then a clothing brand.
I think this is quite attractive to me.
It also has an output of culture and art.

 

[No sub for question]

October 1st I'm still working.
October 1st I'm going to Australia
Then I will go home and prepare for the next show.

 

Where do you most want to go?
Recently, I want to go to many islands.

 

What is the next work plan? (lady, he just told you)
Next is to prepare for the next show
Next is "Restart"

 

Any films?
After filming, after "Restart".
In fact, I also want to participate in creating a film later.
But we have to wait a bit.

 

Introduce the story of the new film.
Everyone should know about the new film, I'm playing Wu Xie.
Wu Xie in "Restart".

 

Talk about your impressions of Rome.
The impression of the city of Rome for me is the impression from the movie "Roman Holiday".
So I took a lot of black and white photos when I went.
I wanted to try to restore the retro look of that time.

 

Do you think you're and idol or a strength? (probably asking if he's an idol or an actor)
They are not mutually exclusive. 
I am fine, everyone can relax, I think it is ok.

 

[Someone said something to him after the interview].

I am already a little bit fatter.

 

 

He does look a bit healthier than he has been : )

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

I watched the live. He walked into the scene, then they took photos, then a short interview. No idea what they were talking about of course. He has a new haircut. Bangs are shorter, but still divided almost at the middle, and he got rid of the bob at the back. Looks good, siple, manly, not too stern. He looked quite relaxed and energetic : ) You can rewatch it from the live link, he appears around 24:40 : )

Bai Yu's 8 million follower video. He's such a goof is it normal for shaving to take that long? 

 

hahaha. His friends are also teasing him.. Does Peng Guan Ying just spend all his free time looking up photos of ZYL? Because in not judging, welcome to the club Guan Ying.

Today we have found the first bad picture of Long ge. Which I previously didn't think possible. (Although there have been some hilarious ones). Was he right to confiscate that photo in the Nivea event after all? Did he look evil in it? Wanted to spare a fan the trauma? ; ) (The lighting or photoshop in this is really weird, barely looks like him)

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

Looking at the picture of the girl and his clown make up, and thinking back that he said he'd like to work with Johnny Depp (who as far as I've come to understand seems to be at least partly a rather horrible person, so sorry Long Ge, but in this case I don't hope for your dreams to come true), maybe he likes Tim Burton-esque aesthetics?

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@qjys @TheRedDragon the message he wrote next to it was about the innocence of kids etc if I remember correctly, so maybe he was just sympathetic to kids (it was children's day) and not expressing some inner anguish

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@verliebtintraum But I still think there's a big difference in the degrees when it's organized invasion of privacy versus spontaneous or opportunistic breaches. That's why normal people should really convey their displeasure or at least not support such fans who stalk celebrities, who want to control who the celebrities date and who create an atmosphere where dating is a 'scandal'. We should try not to view and absolutely not buy materials that are gotten illegally /invasively; nor discuss private matters like dating unless the person themselves has opened up about it and then to congratulate. People's behavior depends a lot on how they perceive the group behavior to be. Of course in a country as large as china they can form subgroups where such ill-minded people gather together and think they're okay, but at least the larger portion of normal fans can convey that it's not acceptable behavior in society. And of course the large inequalities in china make it possible for there to be a lot of people looking out for easy ways to make money, such as invasive videos or pictures or stories about celebrities, which is why it's good the hotels are trying to help protect them. Really it's just not acceptable that people buy his itinerary and follow him on vacations / work trips / to his workplace / to his home/hotel etc, and this must be expressed so young people don't get lured in to think it's okay, because it's just something that happens to celebrities. This type of behavior is really different to just seeing him on the street and saying you like his work.

[Zhu Yi Long 朱一龙 Official Thread]

@qjys How sad : ( What is wrong with people : ( 
And we know this because he can't even know that his interactions with the hotel are private. 

 

btw, I think you mean the picture with the girl with a lot of mouths who is cutting a smile for herself. It's by a Japanese illustrator called Tama. He posted that one in 2011.

Looking at ZYL, he really seems delicate, fine and highly sensitive. It is no surprise that he has intense reactions to mundane things. I do hope he has better productions and a high grade team to work together with in the future. 

 

Wow! What an awesome hotpot layout. I tried lotus roots the last time I had that hotpot, and they're so yummy. Lately his photos have been very nice and I can feel reassured about his Lenovo endorsement ; )

 

I'm going to be a bit annoying again and say that his alcohol intolerance has nothing to do with him being a sensitive person, it's a medical condition. The reason I say that is because it might happen that some people, of course not you, would look down on people with alcohol intolerance and not take the condition seriously, and just treat it as if that person is overly sensitive or delicate. Which in addition to being dangerous to their health, could also undermine their authority and standing in society. Although of course I know that you didn't mean it like that and just find everything about him cute in the best way : ) 

 

That producer sounds so sketchy : ( But then a production that forced me to watch so many XXC scenes obviously has something seriously wrong with them, I should've known.
