"Call Me by Fire 4" First Stage, Round 2, Match 3 was 🔥LIT!!🔥 🎶Scroll down for performance videos

First, Hacken Lee sang a classic, "Flower Protector" 《护花使者》, that had everybody dancing (if you watch c-actor douyins or behind-the-scenes clips from dramas, you've most likely heard it!).

And Jason (from NU'EST) followed up with a cosplay performance where he did wuxia moves and played the suona!

Winner posted in the comments, to avoid spoilers.

Jason Fu - November 22nd 2022

[blackmoonlightexpress]

Luo Yunxi Appreciation Master Post: How can someone be so multi-talented?!

In case you did not already know, here are LYX's many talents. It's insane how many different things he can do at a near-professional level beyond acting!

1. Dance/Ballet

LYX graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy majoring in ballet with over 11 years of professional experience.

This is him doing 13+ pirouettes in a performance of Tchaikovsky Rhapsody (full video, he's on the right)

Interpret dance solo (燃烧的火苗) where he won the first gold ever for STA (video, news)

Swan Lake solo at the Taoli Cup Dance Competition in high school (video)

Modern dancing solo (黑白影画) at his graduation performance (video, he's the only guy in white)

He also taught at the Macao Conservatory for a year and danced in front of national leaders in Flying to the Moon (奔月) at the Macao 10th Handover Anniversary (video)

He's super flexible and has a strong core (despite being naturally thin)

In response to request from fans, he performed the Black Moonlight dance in a now viral video on Douyin.

2. Wuxia / Posture

LYX is known as one of the best actors working today for wire work - you can see him here doing 3 consecutive jumps 2-3 stories above ground (compilation videos 1, 2)

He does a lot of his own stunts and is often better (i.e. more graceful) than his stunt double, even though it's really risky and he's sustained some serious injuries from being dropped accidentally (And the Winner is Love: B roll video, actual scene, other BTS, other fight scenes)

He moves with elegance, not just in action sequences (Ashes of Love fight compilation 1, 2), but people have made video compilations of how he walks, kneels, works his sleeves and train

Of course, it's thanks to his dance foundation, but he also puts a lot of hard work into stunt training. Not something a lot of actors do because it eats up time to make more TV or go on variety shows (Ashes of Love stunt training, BTS)

3. Diving

He played a diver once in Flip in Summer (夏日心跳) and actually learned to dive... I mean he's no Tom Daley but this looks pretty good for an amateur... (full video)

4. Voice Acting

He’s always dubbed himself since circa 2018 (with the exception of And the Winner is Love due to Covid logistics issues), which is not the norm in Chinese drama (Ashes of Love dubbing BTS). In fact, he is sometimes the only person in the cast to use his original voice (e.g. in Princess Silver)

He also lends his voice to animations - he was the voice of Viktor in Arcane (BTS video), which received positive feedback (most people didn't realize he was not a professional voice actor)

He appears as a judge and live dubbing performer in Voice Monster alongside the top voice actors in China, Bian Jiang (aka voice of Yehua in Eternal Love, Nan Wangj in the Untamed) and Zhang Jie (aka voice of Donghua in Eternal Love, Sifeng in Love & Redemption). He has so much respect to those working behind the scenes, and it really shows (full video)

5. Singing

Some of you may know that he started out in a boy band called JL with Fu Longfei - these videos didn't age well, but here you go: JL (MV), 我们 (MV)

He has released a number of solo singles, including 缘起 (MV), 星星之火 (live), 不是我 (MV), 等风停 (MV). and 勇 (soundtrack), which he composed and wrote the lyrics himself (these are all mando-pop ballads if that's your jam)

He performed Big Fish 大鱼 at Tmall's 11/11 Festival (live video) - while his rendition is not as powerful as the original, he can hit really high notes with an impressive falsetto - I think it goes up to G5 (one octave above middle C)

He performed Pipa Xing (琵琶行) at the Douyin Festival (live video) - the notable part is his Peking Opera style singing at the end

He occasionally releases covers of songs on Chinese karaoke app Changba or Douyin: 要不然我们就这样一万年 (youtube), 黑月光 (youtube), 不染 (youtube), 山水又一程 (youtube)

He can also sing in other languages, including 喜欢你 in Cantonese (recording) - it's actually a very good cover and his Cantonese pronunciation is >95% accurate - there are parts where you can't tell he's not a native speaker.

6. Musical Instruments

He's an accomplished classically-trained pianist, which you can see in...

JL MV (video, starting around 3:30 mark) - don't mind the makeup, it's from ages ago

Mr Mossie season 2 (video)

Love is Sweet (BTS video) - impromptu jazz, he was deciding which song to play

Fan thank you recording (video)

He also plays the guitar, though probably at an amateur level

7. Music Gaming

During college he was obsessed with this music game called O2Jam (劲乐团) to the point where he created new tracks (i.e. arrange/compose the music) for the company under the username Dinoroy (explained by himself here, videos of him playing).

He became well-known within the fan community as the legendary D�� (D God). There are a lot of funny comments from old players saying that they thought D God is a bitter middle-aged recluse trying to screw them over with difficult tracks (read comments here).

D God was so prolific and reliable that gaming company accepted his submissions without review. Here are some of his best tracks - game arrangement only (Lydia, Croatian Rhapsody, Digital Emotions), music & game arrangement (黑暗魅影), original composition (光之乐章)

8. League of Legends

He's an LOL super fan, commentator, and player since season 2, went to see worlds in person twice, and was a cast member in a gaming show called Beyond It! Hero (episodes here)

He played the 2018 All-Star Event in Las Vegas teaming with reigning world champion Rookie and delivered the final blow that beat the other team 2:1 (video)

He got a quadra kill at a celebrity mobile game even though his team was crap (video clip)

He co-invested 1M RMB in a team led by Misaya 若风 - you can see them playing together in a live broadcast of the mobile game (video)

Update: Our longtime fan boy has become spokesperson of League of Legends and official commentator at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou! The love is reciprocated!

9. Calligraphy/Drawing/Culture

LYX is known for his Chinese handwriting (he practices regularly) - there's even a font based on his handwriting called 汉仪罗云熙体 (download here)

He does all his own handwriting for marketing materials (e.g. Immortality below) and doesn't need a hand double for scenes where his character is practicing ancient Chinese calligraphy

He's also got amazing drawing skills - check out the Queen of the Night 昙花 he drew as Runyu while waiting around on set in between takes (video)

While he doesn't go on a lot of variety shows, he's often a guest on cultural programs, like the beauty of Chinese Calligraphy 书法之美 (video), Chinese Fans in 指尖上的非遗 (video)

His self-produced Mr. Mossie covers a lot of cultural topics (seasons 1, 2, 3), the segment on Hanfu was featured in the UNESCO Chinese Language Video Festival (video)

10. Photography

Luo Yunxi is often seen taking photos on set with his top-of-the-line Leica camera. Here are some of the photos he has shared:

[phantomthiefjeanne]

Ok but where it does exist (maybe it shouldn’t at all), almost any unit-to-unit or member-to-member treatment comparison in NCT that doesn’t acknowledge xenophobia (and often sinophobia specifically) is almost automatically disingenuous or naive To Me. Like why am I seeing Beckies from Florida trying to argue that Actually every foreign member—in a company long known to treat foreigners inequitably—is only getting shafted because of individualistic personal faults or just somehow being Objectively less capable or bankable than others? Or Joe from Indianna only valuing team relationships of one or few foreign folks you have decided to token-stan when they involve Korean members, as if to emphasize that kind of adjacency & make them seem exceptional to the prejudices that management and fandom alike have levelled towards others—instead of grappling with the existence of that bias itself?

It’s not just a management thing so much as an all-around vicious cycle—I genuinely think fan spaces are turning off sinosphere-diaspora peeps because so much English-language discourse reads like watching people ranking which Asian identities they respect more than others 😭 I can’t even blame cpop fandoms for being hostile to wzns/czns tbh like why would I want to engage with a fanbase with people saying stuff like ��I just think Korean sounds prettier than mandarin when sung” unironically

(also unrelated but I just finished watching winwin speaking to the Token Chinese Person they added to Nuest M for that short-lived project (Fu Longfei) about life as an idol and overseas on Flavour Rings a Bell and it was interesting)

FMV D屎屎橙子C: Spinning Master

Zheng Yecheng can spin anything, I remember the last person who was so handsome was Sun Wukong

【郑业成之万物皆可转，记得上次这么帅的人还是孙悟空-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/Gd236Xb

Photos: ZYC was a guest on stage, with his friend, Fu Longfei. He was late due to traffic so he did a split second fan service gift, that someone was miraculously captured by fans in high resolution. Best highlight of the night.

Moving the Goalposts: An Illustrated Guide

By: Jason, from Call Me by Fire, Season 4

🤣🟥

🔊Turn sound on🔊

⚽You can watch the full football episode here: [https://youtu.be/iEwBTU4dXTw] (but the subtitles on YouTube are not good, which is one of the reasons I prefer watching CMBF on the Mango website)

⚽The first half is football; the second half is badminton (I haven't watched the badminton part yet)

⚽Mivayi scored most of his team's goals. He wanted to become a pro footballer, but quit when he was a teenager because of an ankle injury. But I didn't know he really is quite good! (He's the one who hit the post in this snippet)

⚽Hacken Lee was initially selected to be the referee, but he wanted to play instead.😆Good, 'cuz he scored!

⚽Jason got hit in the nether-regions with the ball

⚽Liang Long got hit on the head twice with a beach ball

⚽They lost the normal-sized ball because they got it stuck in the rafters

⚽Penalty kicks at the end and Aruna sniped the shot (for Jing Long!)
