Day 3: Favourite actor discovered in 2025

Chinese actor and singer Yu Shi (Mongolia ancestry), in #cDrama To The Wonder (2024, watched in 2025), #cMovie Creation of the Gods Ⅰ: Kingdom of Storms (2023, watched in 2025) and Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force (2025). I really loved his acting and singing in To The Wonder (he plays guitar, too).

Watching the first two installments of the Fengshen Trilogy, #cMovie Creation of the Gods Ⅰ: Kingdom of Storms (2023), and then Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force (2025).

These are epic Chinese fantasy films adapted from the semi-mythical novel Investiture of the Gods by Ming dynasty writer Xu Zhonglin. I'm familiar with the work and its a complex story.

Stellar ensemble cast and production crew. From the beginning, visuals are stunning with inspired acting.

@AnnaAnthro I love Chang Chen! One of my top Chinese actors. He's been a favorite since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), through Brotherhood Of Blades 1 (2014) & 2 (2017) #cMovie, to #cDrama Love And Destiny (2019), and #kDrama Narco-Saints (2022) on Netflix. His roles are so iconic.

I am obviously objective when I say Mad Painter deserves a stand-alone movie. It's been years, and I'm still fascinated by the way he rides his brush (literally - get your mind out of the gutter).

NB: the dubbing sucks

@AnnaAnthro Very interesting. I would definitely watch for the history period and Tony Leung, and now your glowing recommendation. I see Wang Yi Bo won a Best Actor Award for this. I've seen him in Untamed and Luoyang. Sounds like this is his best role so far.
