if we’re talking about shoelaces cpn then my go-to will always be @jesiyathatsit shoelace-ology post over here. even before the fake rumor, we’ve already been eyeing how they tie it and guessing what it could mean.

the LRLG on 022621 featured Bobo saying :

Just wait, I will tie you a bow for sure

Or one half for me and one half for you

I know that too, if you're not afraid of being found out, I'll tie it for you.

the speculation is if it’s tied this way— one in a bow and one tucked in— it means they are together. lo and behold, XZ is in Shanghai today and his shoes are tied that way. Same with Yibo ( who when he was in BJ premiere tied his normally ). so yeah. Do what you want with this information. what’s important is they are both in shanghai. 🫶

Liu Xiaoshi interview with Youku ( impression of Wang Yibo ) :

The first time you worked with Wang Yibo, what is your impression of him?

He is very serious, especially in such a movie. He was especially afraid that he would make a mistake, so we basically rehearsed and read the script together every morning, after we solved all the problems, whether it was the performance level or the logic level of the story. We can only perform the official performance (Wang Yibo). He is actually very cold on the surface, but he is a very emotional person. His heart is very soft and emotional, including the scene when his parents came to his dormitory. After he was injured, they wanted to take him back to his hometown and tell him not to fly. After that scene, he insisted on flying, so his father was very angry. In the past few years since he was a soldier and became a test pilot, his father has basically never met him. His family is not bad, and his father wants him to go abroad or look for a job in society, he has many choices in life, but he chose to fly because he loves flying very much. When he was injured, he said he would still fly. His father was very disappointed and took his mother to prepare to leave the army. When Bo came out with a cane to see his parents off, his parents said that you can fly if you want, and pay attention to the weather. At this time, the father and son reached a reconciliation. After Yibo watched his parents leave, the back of him, he was in the corridor with a cane, and the tears came suddenly. It just flowed down, but we only took one shot that day. He is a very good sensibility, very devoted, and a very sincere actor who can mobilize his emotions.

xiao zhan - gucci cosmos shanghai exhibit red carpet interview :

[killerdimmer]

It’s time for CPN. 🎟️

first, thank you to xiao laoshi for making this thursday extra special with his exposed knees and fabulous hair. and well, that face. he can do no wrong. next day is btf premiere and wyb is expected to attend BIFF ( red carpet starts at 5:30 ) so we will most likely have another meltdown.

continue reading for more clownery ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Well let’s start with what we do best, over analyzing the photos they share and the numbers as well. XZS posted GG’s Gucci set and the most obvious observation is that he uploaded 18 ( yi bo ) photos with the 2nd and 8th ( love bo ) colored as red. you know, ZZ’s favorite and the color associated with love. no big deal.

You can say it’s for aesthetic reasons cause 2 and 8 in red will look good in the 9 grid, but there’s one more thing with the 8th photo. 8 = bo. It’s the only split photo, on the left is a photo of a place. and yes they did that before in the Milan sets but those are a couple. this time, it’s just one. I’m so proud of myself for noticing that this is the same place that makes an appearance in Hidden Blade. Which also takes place in Shanghai.

it is a landmark, yes. but he is not promoting the city of shanghai 🤦‍♀️. He is there for Gucci. why can’t he add a photo of the venue itself? interpret this however you want but it’s something that personally made me go 👀. a scene from HB + red + the number 8. i cannot not clown over it. 😂

Also the last photo shared from both studio photosets are of their backs. It’s the 18th ( yi bo ) for ZZ, so is he copying someone? Lol. We know that “yibo’s back photos” are popular among fans so i’m wondering if ZZ is bias towards it too.

Now for ZZ’s weibo post:

What we noticed is a photo, that looks like water and fire. Which reminds us of their NYE stage themes in 2019. The blue eyes reminds us of a photoshoot Yibo did and the colors. doesn’t really matter if they mean what we think it does — the point is, this fandom have so many symbolism/association over the years and it shows up over and over.

My favorite would have to be XZ reminding us all that he is a Libra. Yes we know. and well GUCCI + Libra design also has some CPN history ( hint : weibo night 2020 ) 😌

Over at Yibo-Official’s side, they probably noticed how loud they are with the ♥️. yesterday, so they were more lowkey today. Their douyin post was shared 20:33 ( love zhan zhan ). I admit i was kinda bummed out that WYB had to leave early for Beijing. He wouldn’t go there if he had no participation in BIFF program. Because his usual MO for events is arrive the same day and then leave as soon as his part is over. So I think this “one day” is for him to prepare for whatever it is he will do for BIFF. I could be wrong. I just want them in the same city. 🥺🥺

Lastly, Happy 5 year anniversary to the BJYX Supertopic! I have so many good memories of that space and it’s only right that it gets to be celebrated. It’s nice that it falls on BTF release so people can get together and the eve of it is GG’s gucci event so it’s all positive vibes ✨⭐️

Before They Met : BoXiao in 2016

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell, Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

In the grand scheme of things in this fandom— These may all seem nothing. Lol. But I love seeing what their life was like before they met. Since a lot of us were not a fan of them at that time, this can also be a glimpse into it.

Think of these examples as you would this instance when they were at the same airport but didn’t meet. 5/5/2016 @ P.E.K Airport. WYB was leaving Beijing while GG just arrived in Beijing. A missed opportunity.

So. Put your clown hats on and let’s go!💪🏻

I have talked about other more well-known instances here via the D-Timeline ( Love Mole, Dream lover, going to Spongebob exhibit and GG’s drawing )

Tod's China's revenue soared by 140% 🤍

On the road to the rejuvenation of luxury brands, Tod's seems to have found a direction of its own.

According to Fashion Business Express, the share price of Italian luxury goods group Tod's has risen by nearly 63% since the beginning of this year, and its market value has soared to about 1.5 billion euros, setting a new high in the past three years and becoming the fastest Italian luxury brand this year.

Tod's Group's stock price rose further due to the unexpected first-quarter report. The stock price rose by more than 8% in a single day. Data show that in the first quarter ending March, Tod's Group sales rose 19% year-on-year to 182 million euros, and China became the largest market for the group’s brands. During the period, sales increased by 142% to 64.2 million euros. , Accounting for 35.3% of total revenue.

On May 19, Tod's suddenly set off a huge wave on Chinese social media. After announcing the star Xiao Zhan as the spokesperson and releasing the official publicity film shot by him, the two bags were priced at 4,600 yuan and 10,600 yuan. The handbags were quickly sold out within ten minutes, and the number of fans on Tmall stores increased by nearly 110,000 that day, a rapid increase of nearly 24 times from the previous month.

Tod's official Weibo fans also soared by nearly 290,000 to 890,000, Xiao Zhan’s Weibo followers were about 29 million, related Weibo posts were forwarded, commented and liked more than 6 million, video views approached 50 million times, and topics were read. The amount is more than 500 million times in 6 hours.

Such a phenomenon-level celebrity endorsement effect is rare in the luxury goods industry. Tod's has become popular this time and continues to arouse the industry's curiosity.

| Seize the Chinese market traffic dividend |

Some analysts pointed out that the reason why Tod's dared to become the first luxury brand to sign a contract with Xiao Zhan is inseparable from its accurate grasp and in-depth understanding of the young Chinese market. This Italian luxury brand has basically grasped the heart of young Chinese consumers.

Although Xiao Zhan has maintained an extremely low profile on social media platforms and performing arts in the past year, his personal strong influence among fans has not diminished. In the latest star-carrying list, Xiao Zhan leads with a fault of 93.7%, and Wang Yibo, who ranks second.

But you must know that the controversy associated with celebrities with more traffic should not be underestimated. Therefore, if luxury brands do not have full confidence, they will generally not easily declare celebrities as spokespersons. It is reported that Tod's has been paying attention to Xiao Zhan since 2019, and has been cooperating with Xiao Zhan for two years. In addition to Xiao Zhan, Tod's has another brand spokesperson, Liu Shishi.

In fact, Tod's has accelerated its deployment in China as early as 4 years ago, and has continuously increased its investment in marketing and digital teams to better grasp the growth opportunities of luxury brands in the highly digitalized market of China.

In addition to the celebrity strategy, Tod's is also trying to maintain close communication with the new generation of consumers through friendly fashion bloggers and language that keeps pace with the times, in order to further penetrate into the daily lives of Chinese consumers.

Note : This is not the full article, I just included the ones pertaining to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan - Joyoung Ad behind the scenes

The creative interpretation of @主任LIN , take you deep into this fresh and wonderful journey!

(1) DIRECTOR LIN : The concept of a restaurant on Monday is actually a small idea. Many young people rarely enjoy their time. From Monday to Sunday, all seven days have all kinds of things. The time for enjoying freedom will become relatively short. In fact, Joyoung has always advocated an attitude that Qi is a healthier lifestyle and is relatively young. So we hope that the concept of Zhou Yuan Hall, can become an undefined day like this. A lot of interesting things can happen on this day. We also hope that Xiao Zhan and Zhou Jiu Restaurant will have a very peculiar reaction involving chemistry. There are a lot of fresh feelings, fresh spaces and some more creative and attitude expressions. This is when we propose the week. The source of such an idea at 9th restaurant.

(2) DIRECTOR LIN: At the beginning, this space was a hidden space, so we chose the state of the dining car on the roadside. But inside this small dining car, we actually want to build a relatively large restaurant environment and a sky hall. The open kitchen includes its own fresh orchard and a superimposed structure of various restaurants, so we hope that everything is connected in a magical way and in a more wonderful state.

(3) DIRECTOR LIN: Xiao Zhan and Joyoung are very close to each other. Xiao Zhan and Joyoung fit well. He has always been a relatively healthy image. Joyoung also advocates a healthier and newer life attitude. He will make every meal of his own heart. I think that Xiao Zhan is also very particular about details. At the restaurant, we hope that his and Joyoung brands will have a better chemistry and a communication including this attitude.

(4) DIRECTOR LIN: I think the cooperation with Xiao Zhan this time is a relatively new experience because our (built) space is more complicated and some of the space is also larger, so we hope that it will be a little different from the usual advertising. In terms of shooting methods, we hope we can give Xiao Zhan more space for sports and then he will wear it in this space and then cooperate with group performances and artists. In such a complicated scene, he will complete it in one day. Hopefully, this advertisement will include Xiao Zhan and Joyoung’s cooperation can give you some new feelings.
