Tan Jianci Interview - Weibo Summit Dec.2023
and 2 other interviews, Tan Jianci with Zhou Ye, posted Dec 9, 2023 and Zhou Ye, posted Dec.11
Although in Chinese only, this video about JC-T's visit to subbing master Bian Jiang's studio is worth watching ! (thanks to Kokuto, who posted the link in the "Love him Love His Voice" Discussion thread) :
There's a second part for that visit with JC-T performing dubbing and some hilarious tongue twisters.
There were two real singers in the cast : Tan Jianci (MQC) and Xian Zi (Linglong Ti Tou /Mo QiaoQiao, who was also an obstetrician, and Dr. Mo's cousin) both singing several OST songs.
This was a musical drama (very nice OST), but with FL hopelessly unable to sing ; she is dubbed by professional singers throughout. This BTS shows the level of performers singing : Tan Jianci is perfect, even though it is not his primary choice repertoire, Zhou Ye is so painful that he can't help wince despite her prettiness. The dialogue 6'20-8'31 between them is muted.
StIll, she managed to sing (almost) the Happy Birthday song to "Mo Qingcheng" in the livestream of December 14 - video in full but Chinese only. The song is at 14:07. The Livestream has been translated in bits, inclusing the one when Tan Jianci and Zhou Ye speak in dialects (he in his native Beihai, Guangxi, Cantonese dialect, she in Chongqing, Sichuan, dialect). Links to more : first, second, third (JC-T singing "Wintersweet" Qingmei Yin《青梅引》), fourth (the birthday of MQC song and wishes from JC-T).
List of other established or new voices actresses who can sing, in this interesting comment from other discussion thread.
Among latest JC-T / Tan JIanci 檀健次 stage performances : Walking the road of life (漫步人生路) sung together with Gigi 炎明熹 in Cantonese :
With the end of the year nearing, Tan Jianci and Zhou Ye treated their fans to a final live stream about LMLMV, recorded here (no English subtitles). Zhou Ye was in costume for her current filming of her next drama (Legend of the Female General) that started in November. They showed some food, such as the easy chaofan (fried rice) and the luobo gao 萝卜糕 carrot or turnip cake (the one he showed looked like a western carrot cupcake without topping, though) , he made a face at the cloying sweetness of soy milk (豆奶 dòunǎi) ; they performed some hand "dance movements" and talked about their drama, wishing everyone Xinnian Kuai Le (Happy New Year) before having a moment of fun with face deformation, and wished everyone good cheer.

Love Me Love My Voice was appreciated by many for its simple and uncomplicated story and garnered a favorable opening rating as a nice Christmas gift to cast, crew and production:
2/ Sheng Shengman - poem and song |
In addition to the playlists in next post, here is the text and a tune for the poem around "Sheng Shengman" ("rudimentary knowledge" of poetry, as Qian Qingci expressed it in ep.1, but perhaps not that well known to all c-drama audiences)
The author of the poem was Li Qingzhao (1084-1155), the most well known female poet of the Song dynasty, still towering in Chinese poetic literature. She was born in Jinan, Shandong province, to a family of scholar-officials. At 18, she married Zhao Mingcheng, who also was a poet and official, and they often wrote poems for each other as well as about bronze artifacts which they collected. But war destroyed their home and bliss, and they fled to Nanjing; but on the way, Zhao died of a fever in 1129, and Li spent the rest of her life distraught, wandering. She wrote an afterword for Zhao's posthumous published work Catalogue of Inscriptions on Metal and Stone.
Listen to the poem, narrated by Dashan (the famous Canadian and Chinese language lover, who worked many years for Chinese television and Chinese language teaching). To go further, you can have a look at the interesting analysis of the poem by Edward Chang in 2012).
声声慢·寻寻觅觅 [shēng shēng màn·xún xúnmì mì] Slow slow tune, searching and seeking 李清照 [Lǐ Qīngzhào]  Translation : Gordon Osing and Julia Min from : Rhymes and Vibes (Chinese poetry pages) "Some collections call this ci "Autumn Thoughts." It was apparently composed in August 1129 upon her husband’s sudden death, and her sorrows had become multiple, so far as she could tell, permanent. She was distraught and yet, perhaps, tried very hard to maintain her dignity in the act of composition." | 寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。 [ xún xúnmì mì, lěng lěngqīngqīng, 乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。 [zhà nuǎn huán hán shíhòu, zuì nán jiāng xí. ] 三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他、晚来风急？ [Sān bēi liǎng zhǎn dàn jiǔ, 雁过也，正伤心，却是旧时相识。[Yànguò yě, zhèng shāngxīn, 满地黄花堆积。[mǎn dì huánghuā duījī.] 憔悴损，如今有谁堪摘？ [Qiáocuì sǔn,rújīn yǒu shéi kān zhāi?] 守著窗儿，独自怎生得黑？ [Shǒuzhe chuāng er, dúzì zěn shēngdé hēi?] 梧桐更兼细雨，到黄昏、点点滴滴。 [Wútóng gèng jiān xì yǔ, 这次第，怎一个愁字了得！ [Zhè cìdì, zěn yīgè chóu zì liǎo dé!] | Where? Where should it go, the lonely soul? Too dreary in miseries, in day dreaming! Gone is the world's warmth, its cold now holding my very being. Would a few cups of wine soothe the wind that also violates the heart of evening? You flying geese in the rising air were once our loved go-betweens. With whom shall I pick the chrysanthemum shrinking and withering, now all fallen? Am I to spend forever tonight at my window here, alone again, watching at dusk, in the parasol trees, the mists turning inexorably to rain? No word is desolate enough to imitate this joyless scene! |
Here is a nice ballad : 秦霄贤 - 声声慢 Qin Xiaoxian - Sheng Sheng Man, inspired by this poem, written by Cui Kachao 崔开潮 on a tune by Liu Yang 刘洋, sung by a child and by original singer. Also in alto voice, by singer Chen Min with English subtitles. It was also sung at the Mid-Autumn festival gala in 2022, at 57:23 in the full recording of beautiful songs.
The words of that song are (translation adapted from the one suggested by 林汉杰.):
I am also a mandopop/gufeng/zhonguofeng EDM lover. For those who are looking for more musical pauses (and for the OST) and those unfamiliar with the music genres, I am adding this short playlist in Discussions here with relevant direct links to the songs, on Youtube or other.
3/ Gufeng or zhongguofeng famous songs : |
Gufeng/zhonguofeng is the "ancient Chinese music influence" on Chinese pop music, popularized in the early 2000s by Jay Chou. Examples : Jay Chou's "classic" playlist of 11 "best of" : and "Fearless" 霍元甲 which is one of my favorite (edit 2023-12-21 : if those compilation MV and translated & pinyin + trad.+simplified Hanzi MVs are not available on YT...; go to the official MV or the 2009 stage version with a translation if you want to listen to "Fearless".)
JJ Lin songs such as "Cao Cao" 曹操
Leehom Wang's "Flower Field Mistake" Hua Tian Cuo 花田错 is often considered as a model of zhongguofeng 中国风 music for its use of ancient instruments and allusions to classical Chinese works such as the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber" (红楼梦; hónglóumèng) and mentions "butterfly chalice" which could be a reference to the film, The Butterfly Chalice, or the legend of The Butterfly Lovers.
Closer to now, many songs including, from Zhou Shen, this one penned by poet songwriter Fang Wenshan : "Rhythm of the Rain" 听见下雨的声音 Tingjian Yu de Shengyin. Wikipedia explains "Vincent Fang, a lyricist well-known for his collaborations with Jay Chou, is held at the forefront of Zhongguo feng music, with his works often treated as poetry of great artistic merit that garners high critical regard. Fang uses a poetic style which he calls "suyan yunjiaoshi" (素颜韵脚诗) in his lyrics to evoke vivid imageries of traditional Chinese culture" such as in "East Wind Breaks" 东风破 Dong Feng Po, a song he wrote for Jay Chou.
I particularly like the one Zhou Shen sung for the "National Treasures exhibition" in October 2021: "Wei Feng Yin" 威风吟 (The Phoenix Hums/Song of majesty) aptly analyzed professionally in this video reaction (but unfortunately the song and short talk are not subtitled) This song features the declamation style inserted in the melodic part, which is a characteristic of full gufeng 古风曲 music. [if the link to the song clip is still unavailable, try watching the full excerpt with Zhou Sheng speaking , from 8:10 Wei Feng Yin, "Song of Majesty"]
Poetry but also Chinese opera snippets can be inserted in such style music. Here is Luo Yunxi's take on Song of a Pipa Player (sometimes translated as Song of Everlastig Sorrow) on the Pipa Xing 琵琶行 poem from Bai Juyi (Tang dynasty poet). A more modern song, inspired by the Japanese invasion and destruction of cultural relics in the 1930s (but not related to actual event) is the famous Chi Ling 赤伶 (Red opera singer/ The Sacrifice) by HITA, a singer who had a strong influence over the past couple decades, made famous by Internet; Chi Ling includes quotes from The Peach Blossom Fan opera.
Gufeng and EDM were winningly tied together in the 2019 "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" of Yinque Poetry, a group of young Chinese musicians based in or off Chengdu in Sichuan. The musical sisters of Zhao Fangjing (everybody knows the "Mangzhong"song?) composed a series of songs linked to the Chinese traditional agriculture calendar (also themed recently in the TMC drama Gen-Z). In fact, only 15 of the 24 solar terms are on the main album, but as samples of that type of music, here are some songs by Yinque Poetry group, appropriately timed for the season : "Lidong" 立冬/ Beginning of winter Nov8-Nov21 this year and "Da Xue" 大雪 /Great Snow Dec7-21 term this year, by Xiaodan , that also has a nice bilibili choreography version.
One branch of gufeng/zhongguofeng is called "chinoiserie", which has a festival since 2015 and ties in with Hanfu fashion. Here is a short video presentation of the 2020 festival, which is quite explanatory and illustrative (but the link to the full festival recording is not available any longer). There are many songs in this style on the Chinese Internet. One that was widely sung in 2021-22 was "Brave" 骁 Xiong from the Jing twins. And here is the latest in the genre, according to Youtube : "The Reflection of Red Sleeves" 红袖映 Hóngxiù yìng by "Tansy" (Dec.2023).
Rhythms and contents of this genre music have influenced drama music and game music such as that of Genshin impact (The Divine Damsel of Devastation) and also that of the Luo Tianyi Vocaloid phenomenon, one hit song of which is Sun Quan The Emperor. They can be sung despite difficulty by gufeng lovers as these covers by Bodokun or XiuXiuman show!
There have also been funny zhongguofeng songs such as S.H.E. 's tongue-in-cheek song Zhong Guo Hua (Chinese language) the lyrics of which even sparked some controversy, despite they often were used in CFL classes in the early 2000s! Anyway, I always liked the songs of the Taiwanese girl band formed by Selina Ren, Hebe Tian and Ella Chen (they still have not officially disbanded, despite a terrible accident that caused a hiatus in their songs together ; Hebe still pursued on the side a solo career, but not centering on gufeng or zhongguofeng) ; one song I like which is totally unrelated to the style is for instance Only Have Feelings for you, covered by Wu Xuanyi, Wang Ziyi and Lil'Ghost (LG) : this is pure mandopop.
On the other hand, the Guochao 国潮 [national wave movement in fashion] movement that also has connections with the Hanfu revival, spawned the emergence of another trend of zhongguochao yin 'music of China’ (中国潮音) which has tried to combine Chinese music with selected musical trends from abroad, but is most often submerged by gufeng/zhongguofeng/chinoiserie trends. Example : 《水木道》(Shui Mu Dao) by 宿涵 + 多力崗(Swang多雷) .
 |  |
I should also add a towering musician, whose style and songs play deceptively on the edge of folk and rock but also ties in with zhongguofeng spirit while staying totally "indie": Dao Lang 刀郎, who hit international headlines with his Luochahai/羅剎海市Raksha Haishi song in the summer of 2023 (explanation). He's back with a new album, in which the use of ancient instruments and themes blend with the electronic keyboards : 《瓜洲渡 Guazhou Ferry Dock》weaves a tale of ancient culture that may subtly have bearing on preesnt day, as in most Dao Lang songs. His songs are also reprised by reputed singers such as alto Chen Min who sang a version of his Pian Pian (original 翩翩 from October 2023: link ; pinyin and translation version here). Dao Lang even got an appreciation in the Global Times and an apology of sorts from former detractors of his special style.

These two beings got to know each other and accompanied each other until the human died of illness. Before her death, she locked her soul into her Longevity-lock (a type of Chinese talisman) and gave it to the Begonia Spirit and hoped that this lock would accompany the Spirit from loneliness. Trying to save the human, the spirit traveled around the world and used every possible way. She ended up sacrificing herself to change the human’s destiny and brought the human back alive. Without the soul and the longevity lock, the human couldn’t remember anything from her previous life, not the spirit either. The Spirit finally found the human in her second life and returned the lock to the human before the spirit dissipated away, giving the human back a complete memory in the mundane world." (Youtube)

It is the song in ep.26, 24:53 with lyrics from the poem Qi Yu in the Book of Songs, that Off-Key thought fit perfectly the melody composed by Shengshengman, who had asked him to provide lyrics. She tries to record it at 27:18 but has trouble because the key is too high for mezzo-soprano : the song is for LInglong.
 Qi river wetlands i Henan | Qi He 淇河 [not to be confused with Qí Jiang 綦江, which is a Guizhou and Chongqing tributary of the Yangtze river, nor with 祁水 Qishui in Hunan) is a river in Henan province. Since the beginning of time, many luminaries have visited this location to read poetry. Li Bai, Gao Shi, and Wang Wei were among the poets who flocked to the Qi River near Hèbi 鹤壁 to sing poetry aloud. Many poems in the Book of Songs, China’s first poetry collection, depict the beautiful scenery of the Qi River and record the folk customs along the banks. The local government built a 2.5km-long street park in Qibin District—QihePoetry Garden, along the Qi River. With 1500 poems total, it is organized chronologically into five chapters. |
* Water Dragon's Chant / Shui Long Yin 《水龙吟》 originally sung by HITA in 2014 , sung by Lin Ye Zi (林夜子) in the drama

There is an epic game song by the same title 《水龙吟》translated as Samudrartha sung by Yusuf as theme song for "Danheng" in the game Honkai: Star Rail, which just won the Mobile Game award at the TGA Games awards in Los Angeles.This game was developed by Hoyoverse (Mihoyo of Shanghai) the developer of Genshin Impact, the Chairman of which has stated that the games developed will be including Chinese culture. The song gained immese popularity since June-July, and has been covered by female Internet artist XiuXiuMan (who sings the song "Together" in LMLMV), and by Bodokun, also with English versions, and with a guzheng and dance cover by 碰碰彭碰彭 Jingxuan. [For those who are interested in more info about the type of characters in the game and the links with xianxia, danmei, Buddhism and Daoism, there is a long essay online].
There is also another tune by the same name, by Guan Dazhou 关大洲 , which has been covered impressively with EDM & ancient instruments here, or by the 24 Musicians in colorful Hanfu.

Wishing you nice musical pauses in your drama watching !
Looking4secondarycouples:
I tried looking for more information about Le Xiao Tao but the only thing that pops up is about the drama, I sincerely thought it was the actress singing.
I have not totally given up the search, although I did not find any more than Peachey Blossom who also was on the thankless hunt ;-) If you do find data somewhere, don't hesitate to comment again : I'll be taking!
On the other hand, you can learn some more about the other singers in the revised annotated OST page, above. It is still a "work in progress" since there are still songs that have not been sung in the drama, and one uncertainty (about singer Alex Xiao who is not credited in the song cast by Baidu; instead there is another singer, so I will ask Peachey later about that, and check some more -- Later. It takes a lot of time to hunt up data and find relevant songs to link...) I'll probably need to spellcheck too since my old computer has sticky keys.
But I do not think Zhou Ye is Le Xiao Tao. There are very few videos showing Zhou Ye singing. The one with Hunan Satellite TV New Year Eve opening show_Hou Minghao, Xiao Shunyao, Zhou Ye and Jiang Yiqiao with CNY songs for 2022 shows her singing not impressively, she does not seem to be able to reach high notes like those required in the song, nor have a voice that can handle gufeng. She can sing in a limited scale, best with a chorus to overshadow her possible off key moments [edit: a BTS shows her singing so off key that JC-T looks rattled].
There are some "singers" like that, who are not keen to sing solo on stage -- thinking about my "best romantic actor" Chen Zheyuan, who was so sweet and perfect in Hidden Love but shied away from the only snippet of karaoke where he was supposed to sing Zhao Lusi's "It seems to fall into the Sea of Love" song - CZY is sweet and knows his limitations. Still, I love CZY, and Duan Jiaxu was a better down-to-earth and believable (if too perfect) character in Hidden Love than Qiang Qingci the superman who does not sleep and stays hidden from public despite paparazzi threats and gossiping fans, for the somewhat similar romance Love Me Love My Voice, imho - The finger poking on cheek by Duan Jiaxu at the university lecture was so much sweeter than just sitting behind FL like Qiang did, for instance. Nevertheless, I am extremely pleased to find that contrary to his junior (CZY), Tan JianCi is such a good singer in addition to being also very good at acting!
Megumi-H:
This is an informative and interesting thread. Thanks for creating and sharing this. I love the Gu Feng emphasis on music, the voice acting profession and how this drama leverage on the beautiful sites.
I agreed with you about the story and characters. It also didn’t appeal to me., MQC is too perfect to be real and GS is too baby for her age. They have chemistry but their characterization just put me off.
Hidden Love, Duan Jia Xu is definitely more down to earth and real, I just sometimes can’t handle Zhao LuShi’s acting and voice.
I am continuing to watch this drama not for the CP but TJC’s singing and his dialogue reading, I really feel he can do very well as a voice actor.
Same ;-)
But since we have 3 days without episodes I will be watching The Last Immortal in a few hours too. + Absolutely loving A Journey to Love, happy that it broke 10000 and has been top for two weeks now in charts. Fully deserved. I have added the latest news in pictures there in the Discussion I created for that one too. (But I am not watching on speed anywhere, so sometimes I lag behind a little.)
I have a lot more complaints than you have about the plot of LMLMV, splotchy camera work, excessive makeup, frozen smile of poor JC-T whose gazes towards boring Zhou Ye give me more a feel of exasperation than tenderness. Am not feeling much from sites visited in the drama - perhaps I am jaded since I lived in China for many years and saw most of these places before... But lest I sound like a dreadful Avenue X clone, I will not voice all my disappointment here.
Ahhh. Well. Save for the music, and JC-T's diction as reader and orator, this drama will be eminently forgettable, despite poor Tan Jianci wishing it could be "relaxing" in bed : yeah, spot on, totally soporific to me. sigh. I had to pinch myself to keep eyes open, because I hate to skip and hit ff button.
Oh yes too, the wiping off lipstick from JC-T lips by ZY was a summit of cringe to me. There's nothing believable in that drama. I feel that the work of dubbers in studios was better handled in dramas such as Forever and Ever : contrary to some, I liked F&E a lot, but then I don't mind Ren Jialun and his non-kissing contract. That other drama with its views and sounds of Wu language in Zhenjiang, Wuzhen, plus the parts in Shanghai, Xi'an and abroad, and Bai Lu playing, was very satisfying to me.
RJL is a very good singer-rapper btw, just usually not in the gufeng/zhongguofeng style, even though he did a version of Pipa Xing with Fang Jinlong, the famous pipa player, back when (that's perhaps Allen's closest brush with zhongguochao). In addition tohis nice OST songs, I like his personal music which is very energetic. But RJL's personal songs are C-pop and hiphop, in the line of Z.Tao's. (My musical tastes are wide-ranging and eclectic....(^-^))
@Megumi H : I have pared down here on the previous illustrated "tourist information" in previous answer, Just leaving the important link about how to navigate the advance reservation system requirement since you plan to visit Tian an men and the Palace Museum in BJ. Leaving also the links to explore Shanghai Tower in SH, and find the hairy crab xiaolongbao restaurant LaiLai Xiaolong on Tianjin Lu 506. The large Shanghai museum on People's Square/Renmin avenue ought to be on your list too: the exhibits there are really good and cover all China's history in pleasing ways.

Although in Chinese only, this video about JC-T's visit to subbing master Bian Jiang's studio is worth watching ! (thanks to Kokuto, who posted the link in the "Love him Love His Voice" Discussion thread) :
Watch too the second part for that visit with JC-T performing dubbing and some hilarious tongue twisters. I have added it before in the LMLMV first page (above in thread)
There's also a collection of 105 (now 215!) snippets of BTS and Clips covering many moments from LVLMV, and the goodbye of actors to their characters when the shooting wrapped.

6/ Mini Profile notes about Tan Jianci 檀健次 |
| Tan Jianci 檀健次 was born 1990-10-05 in Beihai Zhuang autonomous region of Guangxi province. As an actor, he has already appeared in 8 movies since 2008 and about 25 dramas since 2014, including the 2022 Under the Skin (as the painter Shen Yi) , 2023 Lost You Forever costume drama, which was his main drama for the year (playing "Xiang Liu" sent him up to firmament) , as he stated in this year retrospective talk (in Chinese). The drama was honored among the best of the year in the Tencent Drama Video Night of December 2023. As a singer he has sung about 16 OST songs, including 10 in Love You Love My Voice, and Waiting in Futility from "Lost You Forever". He also sings mandopop, C-pop, rock...and in several languages : putonghua and Cantonese, such as "Midnight Serenade" 月半小夜 曲, and in English, such as in his Jan.2022 version of "You Raise Me Up". Also known as JC-T, he was a member of the M.I.C. (Made in China) group of C-pop which gained attention from their debut in 2010, and won many awards, including Most Popular Group at the 2014 Music Radio China Top Music Awards. Among their songs : 2010 "Rock Star"; 2015 “LadyBro 闺蜜” and "Fly Away". Tan Jianci held bass voice, dancing, and lyric writing position in MIC -- There is also a 2017 medley retrospective of their songs"年华 Years of our Youth" (where Tan Jianci introduces himself at 01:37 in the video). As a dancer, Tan Jianci was sent north when he was barely a teenager, to attend the affiliated secondary school of Beijing Dance Academy where he learned professional ballroom dance, at the age of 13. He became a ballroom Latin dance champion at 15 and broadened his dance to many other styles, including hip hop. He was admitted to Beijing Sport University's Art department. His performances on stage are always a feast for eyes and ears, whether they be dancing with a group (such as here, in Sept.2022 平行 / Pingxing, Paralllel) ; in collaboration (such as in 2023 那么爱你为什么 /Why do I Love You So Much, cover performance of the Karen Mok 1999 standard, together with Yu WenWen and Wei Li'An), or alone (such as in 2020 Dance Monkey for one of the musical shows he is used to participate in - [追光吧！哥哥 Shine! Super Brothers: full episode linked as a sample]). His nickname is "CiCi". His star signs are Libra and Chinese zodiac Horse, Metal element : "popular and hard workers. They have financially sound minds and are adept at handling money matters. Whether male or female, Horse personalities feel more comfortable in the company of their own kind. They are independent and self-willed individuals who never take advice." He enjoys cooking, likes spicy food and rice noodles. He is said to "Like to play basketball, ping pong, soccer, and bowling". About dramas, he belongs to the growing number of actors cursed with a long awaited shelved drama ; in his case, it was one long and difficult star project, filmed back in 2020: Winner Is King (a cyberpunk drama that got shelved almost last minute because of the BL ban: more about it in the link). He is not very tall (174cm /5'8") and therefore often wears insoles and "elevator shoes". Social media links : Movie Douban ; Maoyan ; Weibo ; Weibo (Tan Jian Ci Studio) ; Facebook ; Instagram + Weibo: MIC檀健次JC-T Contrary to data that had it that the fandom was called "Barley" (麰 Móu or 大麦 Dàmài) , in fact the fandom name was recently coined by Tan Jianci after consultation with his fan base, and the name agreed on March 20, 2021 is "Little charcoal fire" (小炭火 Xiǎo tànhuǒ) in this Tweet). There are many fan pages of social media, including an 檀健次官方后援会 Jianci Tan Official Fan Club channel on Youtube, but the 92 videos there stop after 2021. Favorite Colors of JC-T: Black, White, Yellow, Blue, but apparently no fixed fandom color or even lightstick design. Some 鑫 (Tan) designs in red or blue did appear in the audience of past concerts, and there is a new design sold by a Thailand company, that draws on the Xiang Liu demon idea, in appropriate yellow fire colors with the letters JC-T and the Hanzi 檀健次, and the number 1005 (which refers to his birthday of Oct.5). There are also plush toys for the cuddly fans ! Of course, he has been the recipient of many awards, the latest, one Starlight award for "All-round artist of the year" on Dec.17, 2023 at the Tencent Video All Star Night (called up to collect his,right after Wu Lei took his own, at 01:22:01 on the full recording of event, paywalled).

special thanks to nathsketch ❤️ for the above info to complete and correct the incomplete and bizarre data that was bothering me !
 | In the wake of the recent dramas (especially 2022 Under The Skin and 2023 Lost You Forever), that catapulted him to the forefront of attention as actor in 2023, some interesting videos delve in-depth or impressionistic on the evolution of his personality from feeling imprisoned by the mold of strict schools hundreds of miles away from his mother (with only a short experience of wild freedom, in his elder brother's small siheyuan courtyard house in the hutong alleys of Beijing), to becoming a more balanced, aware, and thought driven entertainer and first of all, artist. He acknowledged that he is an introvert, doing his best to stay lively and positive, give people around him energy, and avoid conveying melancholy. |
"CiCi" (his nickname) mentioned Xinjiekou and Yuyuantan, but Xinjiekou is closer to Houhai quarter and lake, so I suppose he roamed and wandered in the hutong maze down south, along Xidan and Yuetan too, to get to the lovely Yuyuantan park and lake, from which boats in summer sail along a canal up to the Summer Palace, perhaps also haunting the vibrant "underground mecca" live houses (defunct Yugong Yishan etc, where one could sip beer or stronger stuff, and appreciate anything in the new styles of Chinese pop rock music, except Kpop, but including Mongol growl). Perhaps he also sampled the open air music festivals (Strawberry festival ; Midi spring festival and Modern Sky autumn festival, both in Haidian park, etc) although he perhaps missed the Chaoyang park Beijing Pop one in 2007 (that one featured a crazy show of NIN from the US, aside from granddad of Chinese rock Cui Jian) where 30,000 young pop & rock music lovers flocked (me included lol).
   | Perhaps Tan Jianci likes to stay discreet, blurring lines and data despite his apparent openness and sincere statements ; he has a sister (does he?), and he spent a year in Japan in his childhood, getting his other nickname, Kenji, from anime. Although he looks aloof, he had to build a thick skin against those who taunted him in his early career, as a "little fresh meat" who "could not act". Eventually, he gained approval from influential critics and star entertainers (Zhang Ziyi and Xu Zheng), moving him to tears. MBTI - One page listed his personality as ESFP (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving). According to John Hackston, head of thought leadership at The Myers-Briggs Company, ESFPs make up 6% of the population. Very rare. Introverted is more common and some "introverts" are known to be "wounded extroverts", with reasons that pushed them to change, for better protection of their inner core. Anyway, he showed in a half sarcastic video how he came about another: introvert verdict, and seems to agree with it, so let's agree that he belongs to the INFJ type ( Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging) that's even rarer (1.5% of population), described as "emotional alchemists who possess a remarkable talent for transforming their own emotional experiences into creative expression", "attractive because they understand people so well, better than themselves", physically with "almond shaped going towards cat eye shape (Ni) . While talking at the same time thinking, eyes have a detached look (Ti) while looking down darting back and forth from one point to another (Ni). Eye brows: Lower set than average with a natural defined arch." Doesn't it fit him to a T ;-) ? |
    | This other video shows glimpses from his evolution as actor since his debut as sullen teenager in a 2008 movie, and closer to his interests then : as singer and dancer since debuting in 2010, in the challenging C -pop culture, overshadowed at the time by EXO. He was thwarted in his entrepreneural foray when the factory he'd invested in to produce luosifen (river snail noodles) was expropriated (there are still some pictures of his promoting the foul smelling dish) : the video shows his frailties and resilience. Recalling also his self-derision to ease awkward moments such as when a fellow lady performer lost a shoe on stage ; he directly kicked off his own, to the audience's squeals of delight, and danced on with her. Or that other moment, early in his singing career, when he smacked his partner Steelo (Zhao Yongxin) from M.I.C. a kiss on the lips on stage in a 2016 mini-concert, that went on in JC-T fandom lore as the "Kiss of a century" (at 2:41 in this Ladybro video). Not that Tan Jianci is gay in any way. He also likes to interact with fans on livestreams or in chats, although he could get annoyed at times at the excessive calls of "laogong" (husband) by the over eager female fans in the comments areas of live broadcasts, and "shout" back. His mock disgust actually made him even more popular for his humor. It is illustrated in this hilarious "Daily morning routine" ("Laoban qi chuang a!/ Boss, get up!) short video ! and in this light-hearted and heart-warming short birthday vlog of October 5, 2023. |
It was not before 2023 that Tan Jianci released his first solo album, with emotional ballads, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop music, titled "Dreams" llustrated in this Medley appetizer. Check out the following videos and MV too:
- teaser that conveys an oppressive feeling of being submerged, with urgent calls to"wake up"
- 《一念无明》[yīniàn wú míng /"One Thought of Ignorance" also titled Darkness] an emotional ballad accompanied by a movie-quality MV (+ a studio version; and a lyrics MV with Hanzi & pinyin in comments) ;
- 《枷鎖》[Jiāsuǒ/"shackles"] lament, sad lost love song ;
- 《梦境》[mèngjìng /"Scene In A Dream"] retro-style ballad with almost traditional Russian nostalgia song influence slowly building into new rhythms ;
- 《着迷》[zháomí / "Be Fascinated"] weaving in soft funk/soul dance (in a style evoking JC-T's mentions that he was listening to Michael Jackson in his early youth), emphasized in this stage version of August 2023, which is more in line with Chinese mainstream pop,
- 《IMMA GET IT》 breaking into a C-pop/hiphop "statement song".
Adding this wonderful Dec.24 video of Tan Jianci unboxing of the album package that comes with a lot of funny, interesting and exciting goodies such as a shrinking butterfly and lumo cards! (The video is not subtitled, but easy to understand, and the presentation added this information : "It was also revealed that the new album is being produced hard. The first single of that new album will be available to everyone at the 2024 Hunan Satellite TV New Year’s Eve Party. Let’s look forward to it together!")
 | He has supportive friends, such as fellow actor Chén Zhéyuǎn who went all the way, despite a busy schedule that day, to support Tan Jianci 檀健次 and Zhāng Jìngyí 张婧仪 in their movie "I Miss You" aired March 8, 2024 : " Chén Zhéyuǎn's Studio showing some major love by booking the entire movie theater to support the film 'I Miss You' starring #Tán Jiàncì and #Zhāng Jìngyí. What a supportive brother! 💙 " ( March 8, 2024 ) To watch that movie (which does not feature CZY), online in wait for theater release, click here. (but make sure to have a good ad blocker turned on, as some reported annoying redirections there! ) |
We do not know anything about JC-T having a firm romantic relationship with anyone, except that he dotes on his two pet toy dogs, Tan Xiaodai 檀小呆 (a Shih Tzu breed dog with the brown mask, and hanging ears) and Tan Liqiu 檀力球 (a Yorkshire terrier breed) ; see them more clearly on this TikTok snippet. Tan Jianci often brings his pets along to sets. This humorous short of JC-T picking up his dogs to rest with them features Tan Jianci voice acting their wishes !!
Finally, what does Tan Jianci deem necessary to carry in a bag ? Not too much... (Dec 12, 2023) [Me, I'd add a K-way raincoat, a light waterproof carrying bag folded into a small pack, a pen with laser pointer, a pack of Kleenex hankies, a mini travel toiletry bag with nail file, nail clippers, and some cosmetics, an ID documents kit, and attached to a ring in the bag but easy to drag out, a keyring with the necessary car keys, home keys, shrill whistle.]
