Xu Si is Rising with the Wind (Hand crafted)
I was really hoping by the time I started posting Xu Si figs that I would have made some progress in watching Rising with the Wind, but I have had exactly zero time lately to watch TV. It is definitely next up though! If you love Gong Jun in suits (and I do), it definitely seems like a show to watch.
So far I've just been getting my Xu Si in suits fix from Tumblr posts across my feed, and I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
This fig was inspired by Gong Jun's November 17, 2023 photo he posted on Weibo from a promotional event for Rising with the Wind:
Love the long blue overcoat! He looks so good.
My favorite ultra-light clay artist also loves Gong Jun in suits, so she designed this little guy to celebrate his show. I snapped it right up off her storefront, and in no time at all he was heading his way to me.
She always packages her figures very carefully. The ultralight clay is remarkably tough, but she avoids crushing damage but putting her figs in well-padded plastic boxes.
And here he is! Looking downright dapper, if you ask me.
The pose on this fig is fantastic. It's so casually elegant and confident.
His hair looks fantastic here. What a fabulous swoop! Please also note the watch detail! I love it.
Hmm, my camera seems to have focused on the base here and not the fig. Well, his hair still looks magnificent, even from this angle.
We don't get a back view of Gong Jun in that one photo, but fig makers scour all available pics from all different angles to get every detail right!
His little feet are so cute.
I like the details of the break in the trousers here.
She did a great job of the proportions of the suit - the right length on the overcoat and the suit underneath. Keeps the chibi proportions while still looking quite elegant.
It's always a little difficult to get bottoms-up angles when there's stands, but thank goodness there IS a stand. I really like how she always builds the fig into a stand.
I have a few extreme closeups for you - a good one here of the painting of his face, and of course the watch detail.
A good front view of the suit and tie - the tiny details here are so well done. She has a very steady hand!
More of that magnificent sweep of gorgeous black hair.
I'm so glad she was inspired by this show to make this fig. I definitely need to watch it.

Zhou Jingxu Needs To Top Xu Si: An Agenda
Zhou Jingxu is a rich man frustrated by impotence who decides to solve his problems by force.
Xu Si is a man hyper focused on his work and taking what he wants regardless of the feelings of those around him.
They’re both awful misogynists and they should have “Business Relations” about it spare everyone else.
