Photoshoot Friday: May 17, 2013

Below the cut, Liu Yifei is crying because Zhao Wei took her place as the cover photo.

Zhao Wei is the true jewel in her photoshoot with Bazaar Jewelry; Liu Yifei is glamorous for Figaro. Zhang Yao from Zhao Wei’s new movie So Young makes an appearance in this round up with her husband, and actress Jiang Xin is pretty and sophisticated in the still from her shoot. Chen Xiao was supposed to be here, but Chen Kun was not impressed and took the position of “most charismatic male” in this shoot instead. You also have Chen Yanqiu, who’s awfully young (born after 1995!), beautiful in an old-movie themed photoshoot. Da Zhangwei reveals how much fun he can have dressing up as a clown in what I assume is a telephone booth (that changes colors). Look below the cut for more!

If you never caught on to Li Yuchun‘s androgynous appeal from her Supergirl days, you’ll get to see version 2 of it in her new shoot for ELLE. Jiang Yirong was unrecognizable to me at first in her “sexy black ropes” photoshoot, while Wallace Huo was (what else?) extremely handsome as he smouldered about…handsomely. Qi Wei wore the type of outrageous eyelashes that I love and idarklight thinks are weird. (Side with her. She’s the boss). Tong Dawei and Lin Dan make an attempt to even up the male vs. female factor with their shoots, while Li Sheng wears a springtime dress with folds that are to die for.

Still want more? The following celebs also got a few slides in the limelight: Zhang Liwei, Chen Sisi, Song Jia, Dong Xuan, Shao Bin, Lu Hong

Isn’t Tong Liya adorable here? The rest of her shoot is more sophisticated and dreamy; look at it below the cut! The actress is currently leading in the television adaption of Aftershock. Meanwhile, Liu Shishi (Desert Melody is still stalled with SARFT, it seems, hooray! unfortunately). Laure Shang tosses in the black-and-white elegance for this round-up, though she’s got competition from Li Qin (the actress is posing for Chic! Elegance, after all!). Li Qin is currently filming new modern idol series The Heiress Returns 千金归来 with Li Yifeng and Li Wei. Zhao Liyin‘s drama with Chen Xiao, Female Prime Minister, is finally coming out this weekend; fittingly, she’s smiling very sweetly in this post. Asides from that, Tang Wei is also in this post; no sign of any men, though…

Qin Lan is beautiful for GQ and Fashion Weekly

Here at Cfensi, one of our duties is providing our viewers with eye candy. We now present Qin Lan, who was too gorgeous in these photo shoots for Fashion Weekly and GQ to be glazed over in a round up. Look below the cut for more pictures, or look at the full sets here and here. 

Photoshoot Friday: April 26, 2013

Sun Li is as calm and composed as ever in a duo black-and-white and Chinese painting photo shoot for L’Officiel; even in modern clothing, she brings a touch of classicism with her poise. Fan Bingbing tries a different approach to keeping cools as she jumps into the pool, an early prelude to summer for Harper’s Bazaar. Meanwhile, actor and Central Drama Academy professor Zhang Xiaolong has found time in between the filming of the drama version of Bodyguards and Assassins for a photo shoot with Men’s Health.On the other side, Bai Baihe reminds you that chocolate is the most healthy food of them all for Women’s Day, you’ll want to watch out for her new movie A Wedding Invitation.

Despite being the main antagonist in idol drama Our Love and upcoming Hunan TV drama “Female Prime Minister/Legend of Lu Zhen, somehow it’s just so hard to hate the lovely Yang Rong. Look below the cut to see her, and the aforementioned celebs in this week’s round-up.

Photoshoot Friday: April 19, 2013

Here’s to another couple photo shoot from Fashion Weekly; this time, the real-life pair Li Chen and Zhang Xinyu appear romantic and gorgeous, with Zhang Xinyu decked out in flowing dresses. Meanwhile, Yan Kuan shows off how sporty he is for GQ, and Yin Tao sits pretty for Good Housewife. Liu Tao spends all but one picture in her shoot for OURS looking down, and Gao Yunxiang smolders by the pool – look below the cut for more pictures!

Street Style #2: eye-catching C-celebs

Qin Lan is as pretty as ever.

These stars are hard to miss – maybe they are decked out in tangerine orange, like Liu Yun; maybe they (like Xiao Heqing) look ready for winter when summer is approaching (…of course, it is possible that it was just cold that day). Others are like Su Ma or Liu Yuqi, and wear eye-catching colors or bright flowers…if Yao Chen ever wants to hide from paparazzi, she shouldn’t let her signature smile become a dead giveaway. And then there’s Qin Lan of our feature photo, who stands out just for being gorgeous. Look below the cut to stalk a handful of your favorite actresses!

Zhao Wei directs new film So Young

Zhao Wei, pretty even when she’s not in the film.

I love how the bright colors of the posters blow the cut. They give this upcoming film So Young 致青春, directed by Zhao Wei a cheerful, youthful glow. Built on the melancholy  theme “disappear with the wind,” the film will center around the trials and tribulations of youths as they struggle to find their way in this changing world. (A young girl pursues her childhood sweetheart, and finally gets into the college he went to, only to learn that he has left to study abroad. She makes new friends, becomes enemies with a cold but handsome man, and then falls for him – but wait, there’s more! She graduates college, and years later, both men return to her life….)

Look below the cut to see posters where people break things in pretty color schemes. The movie is adapted from a novel called In Honor of Our Youth, Which Will Ultimately Depart (that’s another hint about the tone of the film). The film stars Han Geng, Mark Chao, Yang Zishan, Cya Liu, Jiang Shuying, Zheng Kai and Tong Liya. Look below the cut posters where people break things in pretty color schemes.

01. Liu Yuxin . The actress is most recently seen donning bikinis in Zhejiang TV’s celebrity diving show “Splash.”

The difference between Photoshoot Friday and normal Photoshoot round ups is that you are guaranteed photo shoot round ups on Fridays. (And no other days, it seems). How exciting.

In this inaugural issue of our Photoshoot Friday….we feature Cao Yang, classy against Gothic architecture; Zhang Yixin colorful and contemporary. Han Geng makes an appearance too, either as a white-star studded star or someone who doesn’t know what to do with his Christmas lights. Yu Haoming is manly as he hangs out with his equine friends. Also, Xu Dongdong has cool pink lipstick.

Cast finalized for Song in the Clouds: Why isn’t Yu Zheng bankrupt yet?

(Disclaimer: The views expressed in this post are jjss08′s, and not Cfensi’s.) In response to my own question…because he still manages to make money off of those other adorable adaptations he makes. Regardless, this means that I will be in a corner crying while he makes another mockery  of history, filming for his new drama Song in the Clouds (adaptation of Tong Hua’s novel.  Btw, its prequel Desert Melody still hasn’t been passed by SARFT, partly due to history fans who’s been calling SARFT every day to protest it.) has recently begun. The cast was finalized, with Chen Xiao playing Liu Bingyi and Su Qing playing Xu Pingjun…actually they aren’t the main characters. They’re just my historical favorites (historically speaking). Angelababy will play the actual lead, (Huo) Yunge and Lu Yi will play Liu Fuling, her romantic interest #1, with Du Chun playing Meng Jue, love interest #2. Yang Rong will be playing Huo Chengjun, the evil daughter of Huo Guang (spoiler alert!) who probably would not have been able to be so evil in history, given the fact that she was thirteen when Liu Bingyi became emperor and just sixteen when her mother poisoned Xu Pingjun. 

Evidently jjss08 is very hung up over this. The cast is fine – better than Mickey He for Liu Bingyi, of course. And no Yuan Shanshan for Yunge, I suppose.

Also, idarklight is mourning at the fact that the designer for this is the one who did “Beauties of the Emperor” and not the one from “Schemes of a Beauty,” so even the clothes won’t be authentic.
