#wugan performance
Text
not them giving newbies yibo and uniqs songs when they're right there??? 😭😭 this is so annoying like all of this was staged? from hyping up that there will be three performances including one starting performance by yibo to lure fans and then showing the set list with him performing last just cause they wanted the money and ratings.
#im not tuned in but saw someone tweet that there were no applause after the group performed wugan lmaoo#serves them right#yuehua annual concert 2023#wang yibo

My favourite Wang Yibo performance:
youtube
(the actual performance he did during the show is even better - but this one doesn't have the girls and audiences reactions cut in)
Unpopular opinion no doubt. Most people would probably go for Versace on the Floor or Wugan or Dragon Fist.
I get it. Pick me Up is a relatively simple, cute-sy dance, not really up to Yibo's level. But because of that, and I think also because of the fact he was very stressed about being a dance mentor to these girls in the first place, he throws absolutely everything he has in the performance. Every move is so well articulated, accompanied by the perfect facial expression and brimming with energy and enthusiasm. And that is why I can't get enough of it.
Please let me know your favourite in the comments/reblogs!
Honourable mention: Nian from the 2023 Yuehua Family Concert

A correct amount of words about wang yibo
I keep trying to indoctrinate the good people of Post.news who have the misfortune to follow me into joining the Wang Yibo fandom. And that's hard to do given that this is a whole-ass sea of like white Gen X MSNBC liberals who probably only think about China as politics, but I am doing my LEVEL BEST, and the result is this absolutely enormous post about Yibo that most people reading this on Tumblr don't need to know, but which I am going to put here anyway, because I need to feel Seen.
I wish to talk about Yibo's beautiful New Year's Eve performance, but first some context.
actually no, first, a picture because isn't he lovely
Over the last four years, this has become a holiday tradition: Eagerly awaiting Wang Yibo's release of a huge song on December 30 — his only single of the year — that he then performs live on an annual New Year's Eve concert the next night. Every year, when he does this, it's a huge deal and the songs always become the bestselling single of the year on the last day of the year, which is the kind of massive flex that compels me to yell about it a lot.
So in 2019 he released "Wugan" (which he wrote) on 12/30, and it became the bestselling single of 2019. At the end of 2020 he released "Rules of My World," which he also wrote. That then became the second-bestselling single of 2020. (More on the single that beat him in a minute.)
The next year, he released his 2021 end-of-year single "Nian" completely for free, probably in response to the Qinglang restrictions I wrote about here, in which, among other things, China banned multiple mass sales.
Yibo is known primarily as an (extremely good) hip-hop dancer, so since "Nian" was more of a power anthem everyone was anticipating something more upbeat for his end-of-year song this year. Instead, Yibo surprised us all with a gorgeous love song, "Like the Sunshine" (像阳光那样)", which immediately became not only the bestselling single of 2022, but the first single to top 2 million sales in China since the CCP banned mass sales 18 months ago.
And then he paired it with this incredible modern dance performance at Dragon TV's new year's eve event.
youtube
Please watch it; he cut his hand and his feet while dancing barefoot on stage but kept performing, and this gives you such a good glimpse of what a heartfelt and mesmerizing performer he is.
What you wouldn't know just from watching this is that Yibo has rarely if ever danced modern dance before onstage, only hip-hop and other dances blending modern dance elements, but never anything like this. And yet he looks completely at home and in his element. The climax and fully the last 60 seconds show so much control and power, combined with his ability to be completely immersed in the flow and feel and emotional dynamics of of a song — which you get both from his movements and his vocal expression. He's just. So good. All the time.
It will be three years at the end of this month since I first discovered Wang Yibo, and I still feel every day like I just discovered him for the first time, because I'm continually blown away, not only by how tremendously talented and gifted he is at whatever he picks up, but by how unapologetically passionate and pure-hearted he is about loving dance and loving acting and music and racing and competition and all his geeky quirky little hobbies, about loving people and loving life.
Everyone who works with Yibo just winds up raving about about how talented he is, whether it's his acting or dedication or dancing or singing or that time he just fucking did this what the fuck, and you can see so clearly from all of this, and especially this new NYE performance, that it's not just that he's incredibly talented and skilled enough to master a totally new skill in weeks, but that he goes full-throttle in every performance, makes himself completely raw and vulnerable. Yibo eschews method acting, is arguably not neurologically suited for method acting, but instead has this wonderful ability to slip in and out of character, become whoever he's asked to become in any given moment. And when he's dancing as himself on stage, he consistently shows us his heart and his pure emotion, whatever it is.
He is just, above all things, a consummate entertainer: He prioritizes the mood and the moment of the art he's creating, and he delivers that consistently, each and every time. Case in point: let's enjoy him performing "Pick Me" for Produce 101 in 2019, when he served as dance mentor to women competing for a spot in a girl group. Every time Yibo gets asked to dance "cute" dances — and probably the reason he keeps getting asked — is that he commits to the cuteness without any posturing or machismo and just, again, lets his performance serve the dance/song without letting his ego get in the way.
youtube
Or! Or! This next song! I love this performance because it's completely inexplicable at a glance but SO fun and just, happy. What's happening here is: He's a special guest on a variety show where the object is (wait for it) to SING SONGS WHILE SPINNING ON A LITTLE SPINNY THING.
And one of the judges of this show is Da Zhangwei, who's both a well-known like, comedy/variety songwriter and Yibo's good friend (they hosted a variety show together for years). So Yibo makes a surprise appearance to perform one of Da Zhangwei's own songs, "Pop Rocks Candy," while spinning around on a little spinny thing!!!! (China!!!!)
And this should be absolutely absurd, like, cringey beyond belief, over-the-top excess, right. But because Yibo is so committed to this performance, without a hint of embarrassment, it somehow just becomes this joyous, endlessly delightful gift of Wang Yibo performing one of his friend's songs and turning it into a celebration of fun and whimsy.
youtube
OR! here he is being dragged into a silly dance battle in 2018 while filming the rom-dram Gank Your Heart. Nothing at all going on, he's just hanging with the other cast and dancing for fun, except Yibo is just so excellent that the camera eventually gives up following the other cast members and just zooms in on him. Everyone always winds up zooming in on Wang Yibo.
youtube
To return to 2020: Yibo was second in song sales that year only because the top spot went to his best friend Xiao Zhan's song "Spotlight," which was/is the biggest selling single of all time, as in, in world history, as in this song outsold both the Beatles and "White Christmas". You will assume I must be exaggerating until you click that link and learn that this is actually a well-verified fact.
The reason you have never heard "Spotlight" is because the combined impact of the CCP's isolationist tendencies and the tendency of other countries to treat China like a sealed vacuum means it's easy to ignore/write off whatever's happening in China, even while entertainers like Yibo and Xiao Zhan are making major inroads and breaking through international culture divides.
But I think that might be changing sooner rather than later, and Yibo is a big part of the reason. In Q3 of 2022 his studio, Yuehua, was preparing to go public (they eventually withdrew) basically fully on the strength of Yibo's popularity: They released an investor report claiming he was responsible for 80% of their overall revenue in 2022. (I saw a later claim that in Q4 that # jumped up to 90% overall but I couldn't find a source. I believe it, though, because YIBOOOOO.)
Yibo has three films coming out in 2022. One of them I've already discussed in this Post post (lol), without mentioning the fact that in the scenario where Born to Fly is China's version of Top Gun, Wang Yibo is Tom Cruise as Maverick. (At age 24, by the way — just a year older than Cruise when he first played the role.)
The other two are equally eye-catching. One is One and Only, a street dance movie created and scripted entirely around and for Yibo, clearly inspired by what an absolute phenomenon he has been as a captain on Street Dance of China. This movie won the Weibo award for most anticipated movie of 2022 (back when we still thought it was coming out in 2022, sob). The director stated on the awards red carpet, "If there's no Yibo, then there's no movie." Brb sobbing into my tea.
The final film drops on 1/22 and it's called Hidden Blade (previously titled Anonymous) and he stars alongside Tony Leung, YES I SAID TONY LEUNG, and it's also one of the most anticipated films of the year. And, listen, I would go a long way just to watch Tony Leung, but the trailer, along with the latest just-released poster, each make it clear that Yibo is every bit the co-star:
youtube
Sooooo this movie will probably land on the international radar — hell, it already has — and if I know Yibo, he won't be easy to overlook.
Because that's the thing, always: Eventually, no matter the context, you always wind up zooming in on Wang Yibo.

Note to self: if a video has auto closed captioning and the video’s content is singing and/or rapping, accented, another language, or a combination of the three, it is best to just turn the captions off.
When watching a longer cut of Wang YiBo’s WuGan, there were a couple of doozies, like “too much yoga” and “for Olga.” No youtube, I am fairly certain moving and breathing in a relaxing fashion was not mentioned nor was a Norwegian woman.
#random#the blogger is on a wang yibo kick#wang yibo#wugan#auto captions are basically useless#I can’t imagine having to use them for video interaction#i just very much like the general aesthetics of the wugan performance#it’s all great

I see so many shiny analysis on Bobo’s new song, and I have a few my own. It’s all so very exciting and 👀. However, I’m personally waiting to have the whole experience before making a post. I plan to make one post only for everything.
CPN aside— his year end single is something that I look forward to. Bobo is someone who doesn’t say much. No essay like reflections. He keeps his answers as short as possible. This year, we have next to nothing when it comes to personal posts. His songs allow us to get a sense of what he’s thinking. What’s the strongest emotion he felt in that year.
In 2019, his popularity exploded. People rushed in to love and hate him. Wugan. That was his attitude towards everything. I'm not as good as you think, yet not as bad as they imagine. // You only like the parts of me you see. // You spoil me and then harshly trample on me. He showed how conscious he is of what people are saying. Of what all this means and what kind of mindset he must be on to get through the new found fame. In 2020, it was clear that he’s not going anywhere. Wang Yibo was in every screen. His popularity was not declining and there is nothing antis can do about it. So he comes out with The Rules of My World. And that’s his answer. It’s his world, if you don’t like it, then leave. He is being himself, if you’re someone like that, then you’re free to join his world. I am my own model //I was this stubborn since I was born //Speaking about my own story.
So I wanna know what’s someone like Wang Yibo thinking this 2021. Looking forward to Thursday! the song ( lyrics, beat and his VOICE ), album art, concept photos, video & behind the scenes content and a selfie please. Not to mention how he will perform this onstage this 31st. Thank you Yibo for this gift, We don’t have it yet but I know I’ll love it. 🤍
