Xiao Zhan Studio | Weibo Update [2024-01-12]:

[accio-victuuri]

i wanna clown more about the matching tulips cause it deserves a bigger space in the world of cpns. i just can’t wrap my head around the fact that it’s been years since they were seen interacting — and their fans absolutely hate each other. there is no way they should be allowing things like this to happen but it did somehow which tells me that they don’t care what people will think ( in their own way that still leaves space for plausible deniability ). it’s so loud. they didn’t choose different flowers, they didn’t even space out the posting. no.

one decided to hold onto red tulips despite the photo of so many other flowers. so you know he had the choice.

then yibo goes and chooses to hold white tulips. this was specifically bought by his photographer along with the carrot & bread as per his (oliverjune) social media post.

both shoots were important ones and guaranteed to get traffic because it’s done abroad — related to fashion events MFW & PFW. very close in dates. so people who are looking will notice. fans or cpfs — even passerby. and they still did it. 🤯🤯🤯

they were insane for this. 😌😌😌

and when i think more about it, yibo-official on weibo did not post any photo of him with the tulips. we only got those snaps from the photographer. which made me realize that yibo’s team probably knew what may happen and cut it out. or maybe they just chose close ups to showcase yibo more — cause in YBO instagram they shared one photo of him with the tulips. who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

when we think of them — we never associated the two with tulips. it was always sunflowers, red roses, peonies and camelia etc. but not this. which i think makes this cpn more interesting, because it’s a first.

if you google it, the first thing that pops up really describes them imo,

i’m also seeing this one from cpfs (p1)

Red tulips and White tulips are usually paired together to symbolizes combination of love and purity. Red tulips represent warmth, love, passion and romance- while white tulips symbolize purity, sincerity and respect. The combination of the two can express a feeling of deep affection and pure emotion, suitable for expressing sincere love or high respect for people.

In addition, this combination can also convey the meaning of harmony and balance. The contrast between red and white creates a visual beauty. It symbolizes the perfect fusion of two different emotions. In floral design this combination is often used in weddings, anniversaries or important occasions. Together, it conveys an atmosphere that is both warm and solemn. If you have a specific occasion or emotion to express, this combination would be a great choice!

then (p2) is people counting how many flowers. xz’s is 18 and yibo’s is 23. don’t quote me on that tho. y’all can count it too. 😂😂😂😂

whatever the reason is—this cpn is now a personal favorite 💛

Fic Finder/in The Mood For...

June 25th

~*~

1. can you find a yizhan fic where xz painter and have ex husband. Then met yb.

FOUND? You’re thinking of Encounter by Thetaintedblade. Terrific fic but they have removed from AO3

You can ask the author kimmy for the PDF. She removed encounter from AO3 because she made a real book out of the story just with different names. Here is the x URL

~*~

2. Hi! I was wondering if you could help me. I'm in the mood / looking for yizhan fics which depict their relationship through time. I'm looking for ones that aren't AUs, so they are both who they are fully. Bonus points for longer ones with slow burn and lots of mutual pining (or family introductions/hitting keypoints through the timeline!). It's also fine if they're still ongoing, as long as they are still being updated. Maybe someone out of the mods or readers can help me collect a few? Thank you in advance if you help me!

It’s one thing for CP fans to deal with homophobic idiots online… It’s another when it’s effecting them and making it EVEN HARDER to see each other 😢 This is the world they live in (that too many people have to live in)… And it’s sad to be reminded of that.

Sure, it was nice to have a giggle over Yibo being in Hengdian (where XZ was) over the holiday… But it seems to me that the guy who posted about it was more interested in getting attention from other fans than in doing what decent CP fans make a priority: protecting them.

We are continually reminded that a minority voice filled with vitriol and hate can be louder and more dangerous than those of love and hope. As much as we are always so desperate for any little hint of them being together, I really hope this was a reminder to our fellow turtles in China to be more careful… To keep the juiciest pieces of candy off main and in the group chats.

Because there would be nothing worse to me than a situation where they are forced out of the closet and all hell rains down 🥺 (Somebody that hates me but is a very good writer wrote a really good, devastatingly sad fic about a similar situation. When things like this happen and solos lash out, I always think about this fic and how potentially possible it is 😢)

It’s hard. It’s hard to watch the homophobia. And I don’t know what the answer is given the limitations of China. But I have seen progress made in the 4 years I’ve been in this fandom - in online interactions, in Chinese dramas, on social media. Change is slow - acceptance is slower. But I truly think XZ and WYB are changing hearts. And turtles are a big part of that. I just hope we can all be careful and keep them safe in the process.

[rainbowsky]

Why are people on Twitter saying that xiao zhan knew the title of wang yibo's new song before anyone else. What is your opinion on this?

It's not just on Twitter, it's being talked about pretty much everywhere turtles congregate.

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

The whole thing actually started on Weibo - as almost all turtle content does, whether it's a gif or a candy or a theory or whatever.

In fact, 90% of turtle content you see on Twitter came directly from Weibo, and most of it isn't attributed to the original creator. Most people on international social media platforms (including Tumblr) are doing this. People just casually take the ideas, screen caps, art, theories, etc. of Weibo turtles and bring it into the international fandom without any attribution.

So if you see someone in the international fandom who seems to always have a lot of turtle content and none of it is ever attributed to someone on Weibo, most of it is probably not their original thoughts. They probably scooped that content from a C-turtle and are taking credit for themselves.

/rant

Anyway, this candy comes from a XZ Studio video post on GG's birthday that contained a caption, "Have you thought of a title yet?"

And on that same day there was a reblog of GG's birthday photo post that included the phrase, "万物可爱" which is the title of DD's new song.

(source)

From this turtles are clowning that GG knew the title before anyone else. But I think that's a pretty safe bet without these hints, isn't it? I mean, DD probably tells GG everything before anyone else hears of it.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Our Song S3: Commercial Break

While I work on editing episode 5, I've posted a special chapter on AO3, with all the Our Song-related stuff I saw (and bought) in China!

You can read it here on AO3 or below the cut:

First off, a literal word from our sponsor: I found a UBEST ad. For a country where a lot of the population is lactose intolerant, there are a lot of milk ads. I guess when a lot of your potential market is lactose intolerant you have to advertise your milk more heavily than here.

I very much wish I'd been able to see someone in concert while I was there, but nobody I could find happened to be playing either of the cities on the few days I'd be there (Joker played Beijing DAYS after I left! 😫). But I did see ads for Jam Hsiao coming to Shanghai in August:

Wait... Who tf is Jam Hsiao, you may ask? You'll find out in episode 5!

Thanks to a tip from marlo-noni on tumblr, I found two "idol stores" in the Shanghai Jing'an Joy City mall, which were ground zero for merch. These stores were about 75% K-pop, but there was a decent amount of merch for Chinese singers and actors, along with a few current cdramas.

Photo cards are very popular, little playing-card-sized random photos of celebrities, some of which look official and some of which look like selfies from their social media. You can buy these singly, or in packs of like ten, or in actual decks. I didn't buy any, but I saw some for both Wang Sulong and Joker Xue:

I also saw some for Zhou Shen, who was in Season 1 of Our Song, but I forgot to take a photo of those. The first store especially also had a ton of these 6"x18" double-sided banners. This was the only Liu Yuning merch I saw on my trip! There were a ton of these but I bought these two, LYN and Joker (photos show first one side and then the other):

In the second photo, the text on Joker's banner reads 你是我今生未完成的歌 (You are the unfinished song of my life), lyrics from his song 未完成的歌 (Unfinished Song) from his 2009 album of the same name. The text on LYN's banner reads 一束光 / 黑夜的2 (A beam of light in the dark of night 2). 黑夜一束光 is the name of one of the songs on his 2019 album 十.

I also bought this Joker Xue bookmark (front and back):

The first idol store was also where I got an ACTUAL PIECE OF OUR SONG MERCH! It's got Xiao Zhan, who was on season 1, not 3, which you can watch here (it says 2 but it's 1)—the store had a whole section for Xiao Zhan merch.

Honestly, I almost didn't notice it in with all the other Xiao Zhan stuff—I don't even remember him wearing this outfit, though apparently he wore it for some of the promotional photos like this one. I eventually noticed the Our Song logo, though. I have to wonder if I would have seen other Our Song merch around if I'd actually been in China while it was airing, or if this was only made because of XZ's popularity (as a singer, overall he's not nearly as big a star as some people they've had on the show, but among people who shop at idol stores he may be the biggest lol).

My white whale of this trip was to buy at least one actual physical CD from an artist I like, or at least someone I know of. I asked on multiple subreddits where I might be able to buy CDs in China, only to be told over and over again that Chinese artists don't release physical media anymore and nobody cells Chinese CDs. The closest thing I got to a real answer was someone who suggested a bookstore chain they thought might maybe stock CDs at some locations, but with the warning that they probably mostly or only sold western artists. This turned out to be the biggest bookstore chain in China (and run by the government, unsurprisingly); I went to at least a couple different locations as well as many other bookstores and not a single one had CDs.

Finally, a couple days from the end of my trip, I was looking for more idol stores in Beijing and had the idea to Google where to get K-pop stuff, since the idol stores were mostly K-pop (the idol stores actually did sell K-pop CDs, as did a couple other places I saw, but not a single Chinese CD). This is what finally led me to a blog post about places to get K-pop stuff in Beijing, including CDs, which mentioned the store Disc in the Chaoyang Joy City mall! (Joy City seems to be a big mall chain in China, I went to two different ones in Beijing on top of the one in Shanghai.)

Unfortunately, once I got inside there were signs saying no photos - I'm not really sure why, but I really didn't want to get kicked out so I didn't take any! Which is a shame, because talk about hitting the jackpot! The very first thing I saw when I walked in was a bunch of George Lam CDs, along with Hacken Lee (who was a senior in S1).

I have no idea how the discs were organized, honestly. I think maybe the first section was Cantopop, since George and Hacken both recorded mostly in Cantonese and there was also a lot of Wang Fei (who has never been on Our Song afaik but I have some of her songs, she's recorded in both languages). Then was clearly Mandarin stuff, and maybe vaguely sort of in alphabetical order but not very strictly? And maybe also by genre? There were no signs on the shelves that I could find explaining the organization, listing genres or anything.

I opened my notes app and made a note with "Where can I find these?" in Chinese along with a list of the artists all in hanzi, but thankfully the guy I found to help me actually spoke pretty good English. I still showed him the list because it just seemed easiest. He knew exactly which ones they had in stock and where to find them.

They had two of Penny Tai's albums, a couple from Wang Sulong, a bunch of albums from Da Zhangwei's band The Flowers, one Da Zhangwei CD/DVD, and a bunch of Joker Xue albums. (As an example of the weird organization, the Da Zhangwei album was shelved with the Flowers albums, which suggest genre but not alphabetical, and Joker's stuff was on an endcap in a totally different part of the store that I never would have found.) I wound up buying a Flowers double album and Joker Xue's latest, Countless (I already knew I loved the title track from this album):

I will not say how much I paid for these; let's just say that the Joker CD was somewhat reasonably priced while the Flowers CD, which was released in 1999 and this is probably a copy from then, cost way more than I was hoping to spend. 😬 But I have yet to find a single Flowers album on eBay or yesasia.com or even iTunes—the few Flowers songs I have in my playlist I've ripped from YouTube—so I bought it. The guy helping me actually handed it to me telling me it was their best album; I'd assumed he was trying to sell me the most expensive one but believe it or not this double album was actually the cheapest one they had! I forget which album it was but one of the Flowers CDs was going for 1000RMB ($137)!

Joker's album, Countless, cost a little more than I'd normally pay for a CD in the US, but when I got it home and finally opened it, it very much earned that price! I was not expecting it to be full of more merch. It's in a very nice grey box to start with, then on top there was a black envelope that, when I opened it, contained several index-card-sized black and white photos of Joker. Plus instead of just simple liner notes with lyrics, there was a full little photo book, with the lyrics on the smaller black half-pages in between:

Also! I could not get a photo of this, but I heard Hu Xia's song 那些年 (which you'll see him perform soon) in the wild! We were eating breakfast at a pastry shop in Beijing and they were playing it! What's really funny is that my son realized it at the exact same time I did—"Mom, this is a song from your playlist!"

Of course, Our Song merch wasn't all I was looking for in China—to see some of the other merch and ads I saw, keep an eye on my PG Goes to China tag on Tumblr; I made some posts while I was there but I'll also be posting several themed roundups over the next couple of weeks! I might even post a few photos of boring things like the Great Wall and Forbidden City.

I promise next time I will be back with more actual Our Song. Until then, here is 无数, the title track I love so much from Countless:

It's true that Yibo Official shielded Xiao Zhan's name and a yellow heart

I saw a big tumblr account and many bigger and smaller Twitter accounts questioning whether YBO even applied a "shield" to the above words and emoticons, thus accusing mtjjs of lying.

These bjyx accounts deliberately mislead their followers, who either believe uncritically in everything these accounts say and do not intend to check the truth of their words, or do not have access to the source, i.e. Weibo. It is true that Chinese bjyx know well that such a thing happened, which is why they use various substitutes when commenting.

For those who don't have Weibo, I prepared a short video - an overview of the initial comments on the said YBO post. Please note that bjyx's comments dated 16/01 contain yellow hearts and xz's name, while those dated 17/01 and newer do not. In the clip, I also check recent comments, which show the same trend.

Finally, I showed the existence of the Weibo post functionality - i.e. "shield".

International bjyx accounts are also trying to convince you that this ban/shield has something to do with spam, but it is actually a manual functionality of the platform, which means that the account owner manually enters specific words and emoticons to be banned/invisible. This is not an automatic "anti-spam" functionality. And you probably don't want to suggest that YBO didn't know what they were blocking 😉

As we can see at the end of the video, the phrase 博君一肖 was not banned - and here my guess is that they might have been afraid that using both characters of Yibo's name in the shielded frase could block the visibility of his name.

It's really sad and frustrating that even a clear declaration from YBO that they did not want comments to be spammed with bjyx attributes didn't stop some (many) bjyx from continuing the harassment.

One of my Twitter friends summed it up very well, so I'll quote her words:

For the record, if your ex acts like this on your social media accounts, it's clear grounds for restraining order. Any reasonable judge would grant it.

That's exactly what cpf are. Violent obsessive ex who can't get a clue after half a decade since breakup.

just some 3.14 clues & clownery

another anniversary celebration for us! and the boys delivered by posting on their own social media accounts. xz on weibo and wyb on ig. i understand that wyb is on ig right now because he is abroad & he has not shared a dedicated post for loewe. but i’m also clowning that he is on there cause xz studio ig is very active with their posts related to WM’s release. i hope wyb has an ig side account to like and comment. lol.

let’s start with xz’s post and the most glaring candy. a photo of a cute dog with a bone “necklace” of his own. which probably remind him of bobo. imagine him taking this and sending it to bobo like — “look, it’s you!”

i really wish they can have their dog! but they are too busy right now. maybe someday in the future. and i’m thinking about how 3.14 is all about the romance, and if this was some fan service, he would share more selfies / thirst traps. but no. the first one is a dog. his gouzaizai.

then you have him posing with a 🪙 which is a Casa Batllo souvenir coin that you can find in the museum shop of Gaudi’s artistic building in Spain. we know went to Spain so he did visit this place. so how is this connected to candy? well, coin is 硬币 yingbi. YB. yibo. he was really showing it off cause it’s a live photo so you know it’s special.

lastly, in xz’s photoset there is one of a stained glass and it has the colors red, green and yellow! it represents us! because we celebrate 3.14 in a different way.

as for yibo’s side, the mushrooms are shown twice. the lamp + design. lamp is also red and green!

there’s also this photo. how is it relevant? well, it’s one that cpfs have been talking about for some time. saying that he chose to pose with the sculpture with red and yellow. even if there was a lot of green.

EDIT: adding this in cause i saw it too, this particular look he shared in the show reminds us of GG’s style! tod’s style!

-END.

[xiaosean]

is xz getting a lot of criticism on we*bo again? 😔

it’s died down since yesterday; but this time it was more of a discourse started by antis & respective fandoms were just brought into it 😖 we’re all tired tbh, when will we*bo stop being toxic !!!

[rainbowsky]

Hi! I've been browsing and read somewhere about some "boyfriend" that xz had in the past called Kyle. Is it true????

Hi Anon,

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

There were rumors about GG dating a man during or shortly after his college years. There were photos of them together that could be seen as 'couple-ish' and some other evidence of them being especially close.

There were also rumors of him dating a woman, also with photos of them looking 'couple-ish' and other supposed evidence.

There were also rumors that he proposed to a woman at one point. These are based on pretty flimsy circumstantial evidence. For example, there is a photo of him in a jewelry store with a woman. The 'he was dating a woman' people claim he was shopping with his girlfriend for a ring (don't guys usually buy the ring themselves before proposing?), while the 'he was dating a man' people claim a friend was helping him shop for a ring for his boyfriend (and they claim there was proof of that posted on social media).

I don't think we can rely on either of these interpretations. It was so long ago, impossible to verify now, and there are a thousand possible reasons two people could be looking at rings - including the idea that he is helping her find a gift, or they were working on a school project together.

GG also mentions in interviews that his parents were pressuring him to marry (pretty much all people in China are pressured to marry), and in one he even talked about his parents buying him a home for his future marriage. People often run with this as further evidence that he was going to propose, but from what Chinese friends have told me it's not unusual for parents in China to buy a home for their son, long before he's even in a relationship.

Not only would any future hoped for engagement first require that he could provide a home for his family, but it's typical for Chinese families (and Asian families in general) to provide for each other in whatever way they can. If parents can afford to get their child a home or help them buy a home, they will. And as the parents age, they will move in with their child's family and be cared for at home by their children.

People will make claims and cook up stories that best support their narrative of who GG is. It happens on both sides of the gay/straight argument. I find all this so pointless.

Even the photos are inconclusive. GG is known to be huggy and affectionate with his friends. Whether he has his arm around a man or a woman, it says nothing about whether they are dating.

We should also remember that a lot of dating rumors - in fact, almost ALL dating rumors - are crafted by people trying to harm GG and DD. Even rumors from the past. So we should be ultra careful with those claims - gay or straight - and take them with a huge grain of salt.

Here's the bottom line as far as I'm concerned: GG and DD's dating history is irrelevant to their current life, and irrelevant to their relationship, and irrelevant to being a turtle. These stories can only ever be speculation and conjecture and theory. Nothing will ever be confirmed. So - from my perspective - it's a waste of time to even bother digging into it.

It's also - in my personal opinion - a bit off limits. Those events took place prior to his becoming famous. Others are free to form their own opinions, but mine is that it's really none of our business. I totally understand the curiosity, but it's just not something I'm going to go digging around for.

my cute xz wip is looking less like "cute xiao zhan" and more like "gymrat fuckboy sean who got into a fight after someone tripped on the weights he abandoned in the middle of the floor bc he needed to take new thirst trap mirror selfies to post on social media"! lucky for sean there's something about him that first makes you want to fight him and then apologize for ruining his brand new lacoste sweater and offer to treat him to a nice dinner. or yeah. something like that
