#prev tencent awards was basically their 3rd drama 🤧#okay yet again taking the liberty to ramble in the tags but! can i just#xiaoding grinning like an idiot (affectionate) without covering his face is not something he does. not in public.#not at the most important awards show in his life.#he's incredibly self-conscious and hyper-aware of his little quirks and always gets embarrassed when he catches himself slipping#and for most of his career his costars always pointed out his 'weirdness' and introverted nature which only made him more guarded#but xinxin enables him to be himself and GETS him bc she's always being singled out for being 'too much'#on so many occasions her own costars mentioned not being able to keep up with her train of thought or 'silliness'#and both of them were like this towards each other at first! the bts of moonlight stands proof 😆#but now they're at the point where xinxin calls him 'my audience' bc he understands and matches her sense of humor and wit#and xiaoding feels secure enough to be himself bc she knows how to make him feels comfortable and valued#which is why every single one of their (*wipes tear* countless) lgief-era interactions is a joy#they feel like genuine friends to the point they forget they're in a livestream or at an event bc they get carried off in conversation#and joke around ALL the time and it's honestly. healing to watch#ding yuxi#yu shuxin#not to be cheesy about irl people but this duo is everything to me#tldr they are best friends your honor#lgief- @justplaggin

your tags are really nice, and I just wanted to share them. They have such a sweet friendship. ❤️

Which photoshoot was this from?

Video from https://www.douyin.com/video/7438934698040003851

I could have sworn the original video included Miaomiao too, but I couldn't find it on the show's official Weibo or Douyin. Is it just my imagination?

Edited to add: see comments. Thank you for the help!

Ding Yuxi and his micro expressions

Lately, Ding Yuxi has trended in weibo for his phenomenal acting in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy and people have started calling it "jinjiang style acting" for being able to portray the fancy and wordy description or narration jinjiang (JJWXC) novel authors use. For context, jjwxc is a chinese website for publishing novels.

Someone in weibo has created a compilation of his micro expressions and let me tell you, if you appreciate good acting, watch this.

Link to the original post here.

NOTE: All subtitles were MTL'd! I only added subtitles so that when I rewatch it I don't have to rely on my notes for the translations. It's all really for ease of watching. I apologize if there are mistranslations within the video.

FUN FACT: xiaoding's expression in yyxh was used as a lecture material in a film school in China! This also got trending in weibo.

Two people meet at the Lantern Festival. And fall in love at first sight. The plot is too cliché, isn't it? I think it's quite realistic. The first time I found you a bit cute was at the Lantern Festival in Taicang County. At that time, the sky was also filled with lights.
