You're the first person who recognised any actors from Link Click musical. Are you perhaps a fan of chinese theatre in general? If yes, can you pleease give us some insight about it ๐๐? Like, is our suspicion that the audience can record/photograph only the encore true? Or can we hope to get an official recording/songs audio someday? And ohmygod I hope your finals go well aand you'd be able to see the play. Please share some of your experience with us!
(sorry if I rambled, i'm like a child in the dark while trying to learn about this musical ><)
no worries! this is so sweet aha
unfortunately i don't know that much about chinese theatre (im not much of a theatre kid in english either tbh), a couple of the actors for Lu Guang (Guo Hongxu and Wang Minhui) were on season 2 of the variety show Super Vocal by MGTV which is basically like. a singing contest show for musical theatre people (its honestly a pretty good show, some of the music is very good)
anyway worms in my brain aside yeah as far as i know for shows like these audience members are only allowed to record the encores, and so far i don't think ive seen any talk about an official recording but i think they said the show will be running long-term(?) in shanghai so that's something..? unfortunately i havent managed to look that closely into the show yet but yeah once i get around to it i'll probably post about it more!

Middle of April summary, part 2
(Jing Yanqiao's birthday ๐ฅณ AND Cheng Xiaoshi's birthday ๐)
Links in replies: all two (2) weibo clips from jyq 13.04 performance, new behind the scenes vlog from Encore Musicals (karaoke time ๐)
April 13th, night: Jing Yanqiao, Zhu Hanbin, Zuo Yiping
Huge thanks to @shimmeringweeds for finding Jing Yanqiao's pictures on xiaohongshu ๐ This boy doesn't get enough attention ๐ค Let's wish our youngest Xiaoshi happy 21st birthday ๐
April 14th, noon: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling
Boys being boys ๐ Instead of rock, papers, scissors they engaged into a fierce palm pushing game ><'
For some reason Cai Qi tried cupping the mic (it boomed at first ><)
April 15th: Ding Xingchen, Du Guangyi, Zuo Yiping
It was Cheng Xiaoshi's birthday, so the theatre did an event similar to QL-themed one, where audience members who wore cxs cosplay elements could be later picked to take pictures on set and with dxc ^^
okie we're caught up now ^^

(The 100th performance and 2 special encore videos, also I cried from joy and it's not an offtop)
@elaraqwq attended the 100th play, gave away the postcards we made to the audience and SOMEHOW delivered them to the trio actors ๐ญ๐งก๐๐ As an absolute legend she is, she sent me the pictures as a proof ๐โโ๏ธ So I lost my mind about the loveliness of it all and took a while to chill o7 ๐
But enough of that! Lemme tell you abt today's events โจ
Feb 25th, noon performance: Ji Xiaokun, Guo Hongxu, Cai Lu, Guo Zhenyan, Li Zexi
For special encore they did full version of 'You can forget about it' ('Rock, paper, scissors song') but sung is 3 different dialects: from Hebei, Shandong and Shanghai (lowkey foreshadowing).
TW:CXS's dramatic ass once again puts on the noose, so if it makes you uncomfortable, be warned~
If you've been listening to this song over and over again (like me), you should be able to hear the difference in pronounciation. It's as if they changed the lyrics completely ><
Feb 25th, night, the 100th performance: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling, Zhang Jiahao, Zhu Jiayan
It's full version of 'As the saying goes' (earthquake arc mom and son quarrel) with Cai Qi in place of Cheng Xiao and Wang Minhui as his mom. Joined by the rest of cast :>
I called the earlier encore foreshadowing bc (like in dongua) the earthquake arc characters speak in Sichuan dialect (the province where the plot takes place). And despite the role swap Wang Minhui used Sichuan as well.
โฌfrom Zhu Jiayan's weibo
โฌ @/ๆธฒๆKLไธๅ ็ณ_็พๅฎถ posted this picture on weibo with caption: 'Chicken run'. And I think it's the funniest joke ever ><
Check the replies for both videos ๐๐งก And I hope you'll have just as good time watching it as I did ^0^

(Spring Festival livestream summary, links to both songs in replies )
"Words can't convey the love"
Wu Yihan, Shu Rongbo, Wu Hanglu, Zhou Bobo
It's basically about CXS struggling through a heart failure to confess as Cheng Xiao and LG doing his best to make the atmosphere romantic (but also nagging him like hell).
LG: 'Cheng Xiao wrote a short essay about what he wanted to say.'
In the end he fails and dashes away ><
LG: 'Is it so difficult to say the words "I like you"?' (the audacity)
"The Faith of Friendship/Friendship's Faith"
Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Cai Lu, Li Zexi, Zhu Jiayan
NOW I HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU โค My twt friend, @/Elaraqwq made english subtitles for this song ๐๐๐๐ I'll link it in replies SO GO WATCH IT ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
I'm just going to add context for this one part, because you need to fully understand how heartbreaking it is ๐
1st is Xiaoshi's iconic line, after which Lu Guang goes silent, then sings what's on 2nd pic:
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S BRUTAL? At one of stage door clips Wang Minhui says, his LG saw CXS die already ๐
How does Lu Guang not break down and cry everytime Cheng Xiaoshi speaks is beyond me...
So there you have it ๐ I'm going to go lie down now, but first, let's thank our lovely cast members for today๐๐๐
Oh! It's Cai Qi's birthday today, so have more of the b-day boi ๐ฅ๐
:'>

๐Urgent Link Click Musical update๐
To celebrate LC Musical's 100th performance, they're doing a 'commemorative week' with special encore events. Today it's Lu Guang/Wang Minhui who sings 'Words can't convey the love' instead of Cheng Xiaoshi/Bai Zhuoming, with Qiao Ling played by Wu Hanglu (my cute lil baby :>).
Encore Musicals uploaded the performance video on their weibo, so I'll link it in replies ๐
The intro convo is basically LG saying he'll show CXS how this mission should be done. But in the end he cowers and instead of saying 'I like you' he wishes her 'Happy New Year' (the phrases start with similar sounding syllabes: Xฤซ ๅ and Xฤซn ๆฐ).

(two very chaotic Cai Qi & Wang Minhui performances)
Aight so we're gonna cover these 3 days. However, wmh&cq take the spotlight ๐๐๐ I swear I looked hard for the other pairs too but didn't find nearly as much to share, sorry ;w;
From official announcements: Encore Musicals released a schedule for April to early May. I breezed through it and what stood out is that we'll get to see Cai Qi with Guo Hongxu for a first time and with Wu Yihan again ๐ sadly not a single Shu Rongbo & Wu Yihan set (they will peform, just with other actors)๐
It seems there will be some special events for Qingming Festival and Labour Day. Some days have the special holiday stamps, though I don't know what we can expect ๐ค...
Videos to check out in the replies: a vlog from rehearsals by Zhang Jiahao ๐ + both encores with wmh&cq bc they're way funnier on video.
March 14th: Cai Qi, Wang Minhui, Deng Xianling, Zhu Jiayan, Zhang Jiahao
Wang Minhui slides over the table at the beginning of 'You can forget about it' (sofa song) and Cai Qi can't stop laughing for the rest of the performance ><
+ LG's hair looked very fluffy that day :>
March 16th: Wang Minhui, Cai Qi, Qian Anqi, Zhu Jiayan, Zhang Jiahao
Cai Qi performs half of the encore in extreme conditions, with a 'broken' thumb & blinded by a dog hat ><'
Wang Minhui tries to intervene but is helpless ๐
Disclaimer: No chickens, dogs and Xiaoshis were harmed during the performance ๐

(backlog, the most ๐ซฃ๐ณ๐
โจphotos with the actors you requested)
Disclaimer??: I'm asexual, and call people 'hot' mostly as a joke. Honestly, I don't have a good feel for what's attractive in people, so sorry if you expected more (I tried my best to feed you) ><
On the other hand, I promise this post has no intent to objectify the actors and is just to appreciate them ๐ I'm sure it was a given for you, but since the musical involves real people I'd rather be extra careful to be respectful :>
โฌ Wang Minhui โจPeople seem to like his dancing moves (and arms, especially the arms. fair)
โฌ Teng Chunpeng <3
โฌ Shu Rongbo (the first photo? he posted it on his weibo >>)
โฌ Ji Xiaokun (Quarri I'm sorry there's so little, I'll add more next time)
โฌ Wu Yihan (@saelterlude sent me a cute clip with him, so check the replies for a link to click)
And finally, an extra treat ^u^ My darlings, I present you Wu Yihan as Florence from ๆกๅก้ฒ็ชไบ/Mio Fratello musical ๐
โจIt took an immense brainrot and luck to learn about the existence of this character. And a lot of time to find at least one picture of her ๐ค Huge thanks to @chocolatexiaoshi for help with researching ๐
I went down this rabbit hole and thought it may be interesting for my fellow Wu Yihan enjoyers ๐ Sorry for the huge offtop ><'
About 'Mio Fratello', it's a long term musical with small cast (like LC play), in that case 3 actors. It's a story about Italian mafia combining the present with flashback elements?? Wu Yihan actually plays the mafia boss, Sonny Boy. That is his main character:
Florence is a different character from the past memories/flashback part. So Wu Yihan plays her bc they only have 3 actors. The reason it's so hard to find pictures of him in this costume, despite him still performing in Mio Fratello, is that Florence appears in the main plot. And as we've learned with LC musical, we only get to see the encore recordings๐
But I saw people praise his depiction of Florence, saying it was 'really visible (he) studied carefully what is a cute girl like' yet there were 'no common stereotypes for female characters' ๐ imo? another reason to love this guy ๐
*Oh, trivia! Currently, Zhao Muzhi also plays in Mio Fratello. And Shu Rongbo used to as well (he doesn't anymore). They did different characters.
k byeee ๐โโ๏ธ๐

First week of 'Soul of basketball' event ๐ฅ๐, part 2
(Bai Zhuoming testing Wang Minhui's patience)
Official announcements: theatre will be doing 2 more guided set tours for the audience. If we get any pictures or trivia from it I'll inform you o7
Links in replies: bzm&wmh arguing during closing speech
The guide lady's name is Chen Xiaoyi (I think?). She is the Chief producer of LC stage ๐ I've added her weibo profile to the masterlist (I've also updated the navigation info a bit).
April 20th, night: Jing Yanqiao, Zhu Hanbin, Deng Xianling
Unexpected, crushing victory with 2:9 score for jyq vs. zhb ๐
โฌ some extras from Deng Xianling's weibo :>
April 21st, noon: Bai Zhuoming, Wang Minhui, Cai Lu
This one was really fun ^^ wmh wore a dog hat and bzm was particularly cheery, bc he won the match, with score 15:12 ๐ he kept making fun of wmh for loosing, especially during rock, paper, scissors:
then he sung wrong lyrics ><
So bzm won๐ And it was a source of 'serious' drama! In the closing speech wmh complained how bzm didn't want to pass him the ball and they started arguing to a point where Cai Lu had to step in ๐ Look at him, so proud of himself...
then he laughed, doubled down and hit his chin on Cai Lu's arm ><
kbyee I gotta make another one asap ๐โโ๏ธ
