let’s talk about pickles , bruce lee and possible connections!

if there is anything turtles are good at, it’s knowing how to relate things & pick up on cues. most of them may not be true but it’s fun to read about it anyway and i would like to think that their circle overlap many times because of their connection. 🫶🏼

some references that will be helpful:

if you have no idea about the sauced beef cpn then better start here.

xz’s love for oranges over here as an example 🍊

1. In one of the roadshows, a btf cast mate was talking about yibo and said: Then every time he eats a healthy meal, he will have small pickles with a dip of soy chili and cilantro that he will eat with great relish. Wow. WYB seemingly with his homemade side dish? this surely reminds us of his Sauced Beef during LOF shoot. Who could this be from? Chili? 👀 I’m not removing the possibility that it could be from someone else, like his own mother, but knowing the history with sauced beef — it seems more likely that it’s from his in-law. Also with how the story was told, it seems like WYB is not sharing, he’s eating it on his own and is very happy with it 😂😂😂😂

this also brings up the discussion of lele bring this camping bag where you can store food too. Which we noticed around 11/30/22, so it could be that it stores his food 🥹🥹🥹

In the same video, it was said that WYB can fry/cook beef, chicken breast and broccoli! omg! HAHAHAHA! Our dear yibo has finally become capable in making food for himself. Who is teaching him? Well this aligns to the recent fake rumor, where ZZ was teaching him via video call how to make a dish. I love domestic stories like this and the fact that WYB is learning how to cook! for himself and probably for his ZZ so he can prepare food for him. Their love language has always been food. From 2018 where they always made sure the other is eating well upto now, even if they don’t see each other often — they will find a way.

2. GG was spotted wearing Li-ning’s bruce lee shoes early 2022, around the same time WYB was shooting BTF. and we see that Lei Yu is a fan of Bruce Lee. This may be a long shot but it’s cute to see GG probably wearing cause of Lei Yu, who we knew nothing about at the time. He has so many shoes to choose from and he’s not even promoting this line at the time so it’s interesting.

3. Zhao Ziqi who is a cast mate of WYB @ Born To Fly was seen watching ADLAD! lol. People are saying she has a friend in the play, but we’ve seen this before, cast mates of XZ also watched Hidden Blade. The circle is small. Those who support openly may not be the people we are very familiar with.

( edit : please see replies on where the orange bouquet is from ) apologies for the misunderstanding! but lemme see if i can find that other cpn related to a bouquet.

-END.

today director cheng-er attended one of the fan arranged imax screening of HB. he said it was his first time to watch it in that kind of screen and it’s the best one because it follows the specifications and effects they intended when it was shot by Arri 65. he shared stories about the shoot, like how ZX was afraid to hurt yibo, how wyb cried after filming one scene because he felt that he ( his character ) has lost everything and is now truly alone. also that the movie can be edited again and maybe another 50 minutes of new content can be added. A fan also asked if there will be a HB 2 and he said yes.

just watching CE be enthusiastic and talking to the fans make me soft. i don’t know much about him before any of this & but I can see his passion for writing and making movies. this collaboration between CE & Yibo is just perfect. we all joke how awkward they both are and that’s why they get along but it’s really more than that. they both believe in making good movies and doing it the right way. not stepping on anybody. focusing on the quality. believing that the audience still knows how to appreciate a solid story. the way i see it, during this whole spring festival run, they represented hope for the industry. it is possible to have critical and commercial success for literary films. don’t be scared of the big IPs.

i’ve talked about wyb’s eloquence during the HB roadshows but i didn’t mention the utter grace and calm at how he handled everything. it was chaotic but he was always present. he was sincere and wanted the audience to see what they made, he is genuinely proud of it. at the height of the anti attacks, he reposted that spring festival movies MV and praised chinese movies. recently, he reposted in support of that pingpong movie. you never hear him say or imply anything negative about the industry. you can argue that he is just “playing nice” but if you’ve known yibo long enough, you’ll know that it’s not the case.

no matter what he does, he was never the one who goes “i’m here, pay attention to me.” he did moto racing — ended up helping events sell more tickets and bring positive press to the sport. became a skateboarding ambassador, made it okay for people to think it’s cool and made way for more exposure. became a sdc captain, helped the dancers and genuinely wanted china to represent itself better in the international scene. and the same goes for movies. he is here not to be yibo the celebrity. he is willing to do the work. he respects it and everyone who has come before him. he knows that the whole industry has to thrive, not just him. it’s not always a competition. this is why people in the industry are drawn to him and want to work with him. he is the real deal.

I have so many HB feels and i’m so excited ( and stressed lol ) for BTF + One & Only also coming out this year. HB’s story is just beginning, we still have the international release and awards season. 🤍

Yibo, you did well. I’m so proud. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
