Did Huang Xuan win for Dear Interpretor or The Imperial Doctress? If the former, surprised Yang Mi no where to be seen! LSS is for The Imperial Doctress?

Really? Do you have the link for that post or video? What are their other fans in Baidu thinking about this situation? I noticed some people are thinking that they’re avoiding each other. Do Chinese fans also think like this?

So happy for Liying!! this is indeed a big step up for her to be able to lead a high budgeted film like this one. But a whooooole year for the release tho….

I know
and Eternal Wave still doesn’t have a release date. I am guessing she will pick a drama after filming for Monkey King. Movies usually don’t take long to film, which is good.

Thanks!! iQiyi without Zhao Liying felt so flat this year 😦 The only highlight of the night for me was the beautiful dress of Liu Shishi. She is so damn gorgeous!! Everyone deserves their awards though so congratulations!!
The Monkey King movie series isn’t my cup of tea, but that harem for Liying looks pretty badass. Hope that it will be worth watching!
Else, Yang Mi looks so pretty in the trailer for 3Lives!! I don’t really like Mark Zhao’s depiction, but will have to see more before judging..

I know I was so sad over iQIYI. I waited for so long 😦 it really felt like it was missing something. Liu ShiShi always has the best gowns, just very pretty and classy. Same for Monkey King, I am hoping this one will be better.

Thanks for this! Love LSS’s dress, so glad Lt Zhang and Chen Pi from 老九门 got recognition, Yang Rong and Bai Yu got the CP award (although what happened to Fo Ye and Xin Yue?) and so sad ZLY couldn’t make it! I do wonder if it’s because WC and ZLY both got individual awards which are meant to be more prestigious than the CP award so the XinYue couple was ignored and instead more limelight for Yang Rong and Bai Yu (they totally deserve it too and about time !!) to promote S3 of Memory Lost (starts 12.12.16). Also wonder if ZLY couldn’t make it because she had to go for the Monkey God announcement!!! Glad she got the role!!!!

Loved ShiShi’s dress too. I was also happy for their awards, they have been getting more recognition after The Mystic Nine. Super sad ZLY couldn’t make it. I don’t know if it was because of the Monkey King announcement or something else.

hopefully ZLY and WC are still friends and if she couldn’t make it, he knew in advance 🙂
