Yang Zi is nominated at Magnolia Awards again
28 May - Yang Zi has been nominated yet again at the Magnolia Awards, becoming the youngest nominee in the Best Actress category.
The actress, who is nominated for her costume drama, "Flourished Peony", will be competing with the likes of Crystal Liu ("The Tale of Rose"), Ma Yili ("To the Wonder"), Song Jia ("She and Her Girls") and Yan Ni ("Romance in the Alley").
Despite the nomination, many expressed scepticism about Yang Zi having a chance to win, seeing that the drama she is nominated for is the one with the lowest rating score among other contenders, having received only 7.8 stars out of 10 compared to, for example, "She and Her Girls" rating of 9.6 or "To the Wonder" rating of 8.9.
However, despite the lower possibility due to rating score, it is noted that Yang Zi still held her own record for being the first post-90s actress to be nominated in the Magnolia Awards for two consecutive years.
Last year, the actress was nominated for her performance in "Lost You Forever".

Zanilia Zhao deletes posts responding to romance rumours
28 May - Zanilia Zhao has recently deleted three posts from her official Weibo account amid the heated debate among netizens regarding her love life. The whole issue sparked with the recent rumour saying that the actress is now dating director Midi Z, with sources stating that the filmmaker was seen going into her residence with an access card and even spending time with Zanilia's son. After the news broke, Zanilia attended a brand event on 23 May, and a tag appeared on Weibo saying "Zanilia Zhao's first appearance after her relationship was exposed". The actress decided to be cheeky by reposting the said tag and posted, "Jumping on a trending topic given by 'Zhalang' to announce the release date of 'What a Wonderful World'!" While the actress was just poking fun at the whole thing by trying to get attention to her new drama, some wondered if it counts as an official announcement of her new relationship. In response, she responded with an expression that can be interpreted as, "As if!" and added, "What a Wonderful World will set its release date tomorrow." However, the actress had since deleted the three posts, prompting many to speculate that she received backlash over her response. Meanwhile, Zanilia's fans supported the response, saying that it was a typical "sharp-tongued Zhao" approach, where the actress breaks the unwritten rule of celebrities having to always tolerate things said about them.
