Angelababy Talks About Love And Family With Huang Xiaoming

Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming have been married for three years.  In 2017, they were blessed with a son whom they nicknamed their "Little Sponge."  It seemed everything was going well for the celebrity couple. However, Huang Xiaoming got caught in a stock manipulation scandal last year. 

Rumors about Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming's alleged divorce over the scandal circulated on the internet.  Despite the hubbub, it appears those rumors were just that. Rumors. 

Angelababy was interviewed by ELLE magazine recently where she talked about her attitude towards family.  She tells us "Love is a process of compromise and concession."  Angelababy added that as long as she and her husband can understand and respect each other, she wouldn't mind her partner's quirks and habits.  Although she is open to accepting change, there is one thing that she absolutely won't tolerate. Cheating. Or to put in Angelababy's words, "When another party appears in the relationship."  

Angelababy's motherly instinct to protect her son kicked in when she was asked about the rumors about her split with Huang Xiaoming. Angelababy says the rumors doesn't bother her much but drew the line by calmly saying, " Don't involve my son." 

Beneath the successful exterior, Angelababy is just an ordinary mother who wants the best for her son.  Angelababy has been working hard while trying to balance her career and family.  She says, "I have been working hard all the time so that I can be there for him when he grows up."

The makers of Story of Yanxi Palace return with Winter Begonia

There's quite the interest in Yu Zheng's next drama after Story of Yanxi Palace, and understandably so. Now that filming has begun for Winter Begonia 鬓边不是海棠红, it seems like the drama is going for something completely different with a male-centric story about the Peking opera. 

The leading man is not anyone under Yu Zheng Studio but A-list star Huang Xiaoming (The Years You Were Late). Andrew Yin Zheng (Original Sin) is the other male lead in a story that was originally based on a BL novel. Also in the cast are Merxat Mi Re (Legend of Yun Xi), Liu Min (Magic City), Fang Anna (Story of Yanxi Palace) and Tang Jingmei (Lost Love in Times). 

Huang Xiaoming plays a rich and patriotic businessman while Yin Zheng plays a Peking opera artist. I'm no opera fan, but Yin Zheng who's quite a versatile yet underrated actor really sounds perfect for his part. 

Yu Zheng shared that his vision was to promulgate Peking opera and to show people every aspect of it. He chose to adapt the novel by Yin Dahu because he liked the author's take on traditional Peking opera. He also shared that they spent an entire year to transform the story into what they wanted. 

Winter Begonia is produced Huanyu Films and directed by Hui Kaidong. Yu Zheng is the executive producer and creative director.

Deng Chao's legendary selfie and more from recent events in C-ent

Sorry for being MIA, between people getting sick and getting busy (one of us has finals!).. let's just say it's been hectic. 

December is a busy time for c-ent too as it squeezes in the last remaining events and awards shows for the year. That usually means non-stop parties and plenty of eye candy to go around. Interestingly, my favorite picture is not from the red carpet but one taken by Deng Chao backstage at the 17th Huabiao Awards last Saturday. 

This moment is the money shot right there for the sheer star power packed into one picture. It reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar selfie and who better to make it happen than Deng Chao. From left to right: Jiang Shuying, Yang Yang, Guo Jingming, Luhan, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Zhou Dongyu, Chen He and Deng Chao. 

After Luhan and Kris Wu's epic reunion during iQiYi Scream Night, the two were spotted together again backstage. 

Deng Chao shared a few more pictures from the event. He reunited with Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei. The three starred in the 2013 Chinese film American Dreams in China.

With all the fully-suited men and ladies in beautiful growns strutting down the red carpet, a topic that started trending on weibo the other day was whether women really don't get cold. Yang Mi wore a playful patterned gown to the 15th MAHB Awards. Fans worried that she'd be freezing.
