Four pairs of stars shoot for Sohu's 2046 - themed photoshoot
Following the absolutely stunning Sohu Tribute photoshoots from last year, Sohu strikes again, this time with a 2046 tribute. Featuring four pairs of actors, including Yang Mi, Hawick Lau, Ying’er, Lu Fangshan, Gan Tingting, Wang Lei, Michelle Chen and Ke Zhendong, the photoshoot and video series depict four different relationships frozen in time. I don’t really get the videos this time, but you can watch them on Sohu here.
As a sidenote, wow Sohu is good at predicting news. I remember last year when the photoshoot series came, they put out Yao Chen’s photoshoot as soon as news of her divorce came out. This year, they released it right after Yang Mi and Hawick announced they were dating.

Two of the hottest stars of 2011 come together in 2012 for drama, music and love.
2011 was the year for Yang Mi.

To top it all off, Yang Mi admitted today that she was dating actor Hawick Lau. The story has resulted in more than16 million weibo’s after less than two hours.
According to Yang Mi, the two became good friends during the filming of upcoming drama Ruyi. She then introduced him to her company, and he ended his long independent actor status. Hawick Lau recently called Yang Mi in a surprise phone call on Happy Camp, and the two filmed a MV together for Yang Mi’s new album.
In an interview published today to Southern Metro Weekly, Yang Mi said that previously, she always thought she was too busy for a relationship ( I don’t know how she has room for anything else given her workaholic attitudes), but found new confidence in Hawick Lau.

Not satisfied with film and drama, Yang Mi goes into music, but will her songs maintain the cuteness of her looks?

Produced by Jane Zhang‘s Show City Times, Yang Mi’s new album “亲幂关系/ Close To Mi” revealed its first song and official MV, the fun 异想记 Yi Xiang Ji, recently.

Yang Mi makes her international fashion debut in flaming red.
Following her new burst of popularity earlier this year, actress Yang Mi made her entrances into both the fashion and music world this year. At this fall’s Milan Fashion Week, poor Yang Mi was mistaken for Fan Bingbing most of the time, but hey, at least it got her coverage, and the red outfit definitely seems like something Fan Bingbing would wear. Her outfits in the show really wants me to see her star in a modern fashion drama that’s not Symphony of Fate. If China ever did Gossip Girls, she would be the perfect Blair.

Following the success of Palace Lockheart Jade, the sequel, Gong II/ “宫锁珠帘” (Palace Lock Pearl Curtain) will begin filming in August soon. The series brings back together the old cast(?) for a new adventure in, unfortunately, still the Qing. The plot synopsis for Gong II below.
The new Gong tells of a new love story set in the times of Yongzheng. Lian’er asked her father to let her into the palace so that she could meet the seventeenth prince, Yunli. The two fall in love and originally planned to marry. But, when Yunli’s teacher Alinga lands in trouble, Yunli has no choice but to marry Alinga’s daughter to save him. A heartbroken Lian’er does her best to protect herself in the palace, desperately dreaming of being able to leave the palace and live an ordinary life. She did not expect to become a piece in a power play, used by those with power and betrayed a girl she had once thought of as a sister. Alliances are made, debts are formed, and just as Lian’er is about to go under, she accidentally attracts the fancy of Yongzheng and becomes one of his consorts. Suddenly, everything becomes so complicated – if she stops now, she will be hurt; but she fears losing herself if she continues. She chooses to believe in the light, and to trust that her perseverance will see her through this storm.
The rain in the Jiangnan (that would be southern China) drizzles away; Yang Mi is adorable in her big straw hat.
Using fragrant tea plantations as the setting, new drama “Ruyi” is a Republican era piece starring Yang Mi and Hawick Lau. Hawick Lau will play Tan Mingkai, the young master of the Tan clan and the heir to its fortune. The title character, Ruyi (played by Yang Mi), is an ordinary worker on the tea plantations. A secret? Their lives are the result of a switcheroo – Mingkai’s real mother almost died giving birth to him; to save his wife, Mingkai’s birth father (a plantation worker) sold him to be Madam Tan’s son. Family conflict, former best friends become enemies, disaster and calamity…and of course, challenging it all, love.
