Luo Yunxi National Geographic Traveler China, Oct. 2023

[endlessnine09]

Luo Yunxi left a deep impression through one hit drama after another, creating vivid characters who are out of the circle. He is now the representative of the “beautiful man in ancient costume” and “walking man in Hanfu” who is discussed on both domestic and foreign platforms.

When acting, Luo Yunxi is good at handling complex character interpretations, and has the ability to bring fragmented and labeled “character/s that only exists in paper” to life. All of these require a keen sense of art and an insight into human nature.

With the broadcast of dramas such as “My Sunshine”, Ashes of Love, Love is Sweet, Light Chaser Rescue, actor Luo Yunxi as broken into the eyes and hearts of many viewers. His progress is very steady. In the 2023 costume drama Till The End of the Moon, he plays the three roles alone, allowing the audience to see a different acting style from the past. It’s a very enjoyable drama for him to film. “Every day I feel that my potential is being developed.” While exploring the possibilities of his role, he is also exploring his own possibilities as an actor.

In autumn, the ginkgo trees turn from green to yellow, the falling leaves cover the ground, like brocade and embroidery. Luo Yunxi as dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, pacing while playing the guqin and holding an umbrella. He is like jade, which makes the scenery even more picturesque.

In Mr. Mossie (Xixi’s self produced variety show), Luo Yunxi and hanfu enthusiasts talk about etiquette, and explore the reasons behind its culture and popularity. This video clip was also selected for the 2022 UN Chinese Language Day and the Second Overseas Video Festival and was recognized by the United Nations.

When he came to Xi’an, Luo Yunxi, dressed in Hanfu, looked like someone who had stepped out of an ancient painting. This time he was not a character in the play, he was himself.

Accumulate the experiences brought by each role, slowly absorb and it becomes your own, and constantly improve yourself.

Luo Yunxi hopes that every attempt will bring new progress, gain additional experience from the role and life, and enrich himself more.

Some of my fave excerpts from National Geographic Traveler for Xixi 💜

Worst Ways The Allies Have Died

England: Burnt at the stake

Ironically, it wasn't witchery that got him in trouble. His pork pie resembled a human sacrifice, and one would think this is incredibly hard to do, but not for him. With his feet on fire and his ego hurt, Arthur cursed at the townspeople for not appreciating fine dining

France: Decapitation by guillotine

Riding high after a successful revolution, Franny wasn't expecting to be betrayed by that bitch Robespierre. Artie had to help him sew his head back on his neck. The second those vocal cords connected— "ARTUR YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT ZAT FUCKING BITCHBOY DID!" “Hush up, frog, I can feel your vocal cords vibrating! You'll make me do a shakey job.” Bonding by talking shit after an execution #JustNationThings

America: Mustard gas

This dumbass thought if he snorted mustard gas, he could taste mustard with his nose. Newsflash, this chemical weapon is not made from actual mustard. When his government found out, they started testing his brain because they thought, "There's no way he's this dumb." Yes way. But, to be fair, it could be all the head trauma. The injuries heal, but he never comes back the same 🤔

Canada: Mauled by a mama polar bear

Mattie went to the Arctic to show Kuma where he came from. It backfired, because a mama bear got really protective of Kuma. It's okay, Mattie understands. That was the day Kumajirou decided he preferred the land of chips and TV instead of raw fish and so much ice

Russia: Froze to death 

During the Victorian period, a certain Russian planned to meet with a certain American for a special private meeting to do some secret private business. In simple terms, it was a long-distance booty call. Ivan didn't want to leave any evidence of his whereabouts, so he traveled on foot. Big mistake. The man froze to death after swimming across the entire ocean for a piece of ass. Despite his death ruining the booty call, Alfred did think Ivan dying for him was incredibly romantic. SCORE!

China: Total organ failure from poisoning

An old fling poisoned his tea in a furious act of revenge. China didn't even flinch, even as his organs were shutting down. Not like MODERN nations, who cry at the slightest fatal wound! No, he finished the meeting, watching carefully, until he spotted that MANWHORE Luo with a face like he was nervously expecting something. He bided his time until the last moment, then pointed dramatically at the culprit just before collapsing, dead. That bitch got accused of being an evil spirit AND an assassin. HA! He was fucking terrible at sex, too...

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神 (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:

SVSSS fan cast/ faceclaim inspiration

Not prepared for that, all Lin Nansheng could do in reply was to cough shallowly, the exertion of the chase getting to him.

“You can let go, comrade, I won’t run.” Despite the lightness in his words, the voice was hushed, as if trying not to attract more attention. And yet, Lin Nansheng found himself letting go. The stranger used his free hand to support the bundle pressed against his chest.

A bitter and disillusioned Lin Nansheng gets pulled into much more excitement than he bargained for.

National Geographic Traveller China - October 2023 (1/2)

[lobaznyuk]

Luo Huan, 2024 Chinese National Championships

[paleturtlecherryblossom-blog]

Thoughts on Rise of Ning, Pt 1

Started the Rise of Ning drama (just finished one episode and these are just my preliminary opinions so far~~)

So! I want to categorize the changes they make from the novel:

Making Luo Shenyuan a nicer guy, somewhat: We are given hints in the first episode that he is working to clear his master’s name. The novel version of him is FAR more ruthless, rather than exonerating someone, he would rather trick the accuser into losing everything. In fact, he does do this!! When Xu Wei (his teacher in novel ver.) and Yang Ling (his fellow disciple in novel ver.) are framed and killed, he isn’t concerned about clearing their name, he instead manipulates the court, and Wang Yuan (the framer in question, a scheming minister, as always XD) to hold supreme power. He would assassinate the nation’s most important general in the middle of a crucial border war for personal revenge! Moral bottom line? He doesn’t have one!

Removing the age-gap and the growing up together aspect: In the novel, he is eight years older, an unfavored shu son and she is the little di sister that clings to him for a good while. While I agree it’s not healthy to portray this as the foundation of their romantic feelings, it was riveting, ugh. The way that their lives were always so entwined, and their codependency slowly evolved to outright romantic possessiveness of an insane nature, sigh, I will miss it. That said, Zhang Wanyi is  doing a perfect one-sided delivery of these vibes, so far in Ep 1. The soft and ruthless sides of the same person, the quiet care, the longing!!! A++++

Changes in the heroine: They seem to have drastically changed Luo Yining’s set up, which makes sense because they can’t put in the death/reincarnation part, so I wonder how her connection with Lu Jiaxue will play out here. Also they have somewhat changed her relationship with her grandma and Lin Hairu, because she is not raised with them, Again, I feel this is an unnecessary change. I love her bond with Lin Hairu in the novel, they better keep allll their interactions 🙁
