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.

AI avatars in China just proved they are ace influencers. It only took a duo 7 hours to rake in more than $7 million
Key Points A Chinese entrepreneur raked in $7.65 million after streaming using an interactive digital avatar. That was more than what he earned from his previous livestream, which he hosted personally. "This is a DeepSeek moment for China's entire livestreaming and digital human industry," an analyst said. Chinese influencer Luo Yonghao and co-host Xiao Mu tried out livestreaming on Sunday, June 15, 2025, using interactive digital avatars based on Baidu's generative artificial intelligence model. Screenshot BEIJING — Avatars generated by artificial intelligence are now able to sell more than real people can, according to a collaboration between Chinese tech company Baidu and a popular livestreamer. Luo Yonghao, one of China's earliest and most popular livestreamers, and his co-host Xiao Mu both used digital versions of themselves to interact with viewers in real time for well over six hours on Sunday on Baidu's e-commerce livestreaming platform "Youxuan", the Chinese tech company said. The session raked in 55 million yuan ($7.65 million). In comparison, Luo's first livestream attempt on Youxuan last month, which lasted just over four hours, saw fewer orders for consumer electronics, food and other key products, Baidu said. Luo said that it was his first time using virtual human technology to sell products through livestreaming. "The digital human effect has scared me ... I'm a bit dazed," he told his 1.7 million followers on social media platform Weibo, according to a CNBC translation. Luo started livestreaming in April 2020 on ByteDance's short video app Douyin, in an attempt to pay off debts racked up by his struggling smartphone company Smartisan. His "Be Friends" Douyin livestream account has nearly 24.7 million followers. Luo's and his co-host's avatars were built using Baidu's generative AI model, which learned from five years' worth of videos to mimic their jokes and style, Wu Jialu, head of research at Luo's other company, Be Friends Holding, told CNBC on Wednesday. VIDEO07:49 AI & future of workforce: Andrew Yang on how the technology will impact jobs "This is a DeepSeek moment for China's entire livestreaming and digital human industry," Wu said in Mandarin, translated by CNBC. DeepSeek, China's version of OpenAI, rattled global investors in January with its claims of rivaling ChatGPT at far lower costs and using an open-source approach. AI avatars can sharply reduce costs since companies don't need to hire a large production team or a studio to livestream. The digital avatars can also stream nonstop without needing breaks. "We have always been skeptical about digital people livestreaming," Wu said, noting the company had tried out various kinds of digital humans over the years. But he said that Baidu now offers the best digital human product currently available, compared to the early days of livestreaming e-commerce five or six years ago. A growing industry Livestream shopping took off in China after the pandemic forced businesses to find alternative sales channels. More people are turning to livestreaming to earn money from commissions and virtual gifts amid slower economic growth. Livestreaming generated so many sales on Douyin last year that the app surpassed traditional e-commerce company to become China's second-largest e-commerce platform — and ate into the market share of lead player Alibaba, according to a report from Worldpanel and Bain & Company last week. Both and Alibaba's Taobao also offer livestreaming sales portals. Meanwhile, other Chinese companies, including tech giant Tencent, have developed tools to create digital people that can be used as news anchors. In late 2023, several businesses started trying out virtual human livestreamers during the Singles Day shopping holiday. But analysts have cautioned that products sold via livestreams tend to have a high return rate as they are often impulse purchases. The biggest challenge for using virtual humans to livestream is no longer the technology, but compliance and platform requirements, Wu said. Digital humans need to be trained to adhere to regulations about product advertising, while major livestreaming platforms may have different rules about allowing virtual people to host the sessions, he said.

While Luo's next virtual human appearance hasn't been set yet, Wu said he expects it will be very soon. And in the future, he said, digital humans could easily livestream in multiple languages to reach users outside China.

Liu Yuning denies starring in "The Island of Siliang"
18 Jun - Liu Yuning is quick when it comes to responding to rumours about his casting, including the most recent one, when rumours circulated that he will play a big role in the upcoming series, "The Island of Siliang". On 14 June, amid the heated debate about his participation in the project, the actor posted a Polaroid picture of himself on Weibo and wrote, "I have never received a script. Haha." The response seemed to confirm Liu's previous stance on not letting his name be used by "slippers" to gain publicity for their project. The term refers to production crews that will "slip" false information about casting in order to drum up support for their actual lead actors. The actor once revealed in a livestream with fans that he has been a victim of production crews multiple times. "Some production crew member will announce that I will play the role, wait for the haters to slam me, and finally announce someone else in the role by saying that they have found a "more suitable candidate," he said. The same thing had happened to him multiple times, including for the drama "Ya She" in 2023 and "The World of Flowers" in 2025, the latter that had caused unnecessary fan war between his fans and lead actress Ju Jingyi's fans.

Internet swoons over woman's ‘rom-com' story where she traveled 6,000 miles for a second date
A vacation fling turned romance novel. Meeting someone in the wild that you have a romantic connection with is so challenging these days that one infatuated woman traveled 6,000 miles to see a guy for a second date, according to Jam Press. A woman named Grace Kelly was hanging out at a hotel bar in Taiwan, where she was on vacation, when she met a potential suitor, who owned a restaurant in the East Asia country, with whom she hit it off. Advertisement 3 Grace Kelly never expected to meet the love of her life while on vacation. Jam Press/@graces__adventures 'That first night, we were enjoying each other's company so much that we decided to stay up all night and make the most of the few hours we had,' Kelly told What's The Jam. 'We were literally talking about our ideal futures and living on a farm in Scotland with dogs and chickens, and goats within hours of meeting.' Advertisement The duo's night sounded like one right out of a rom-com movie: 'The hotel bar was closing, so he suggested we go to his restaurant at midnight to make pasta from scratch…' Any vacation fling is fun — especially when you think you'll never see the person again. 3 The 34-year-old traveled far to see this lucky guy for a second time. Jam Press/@graces__adventures But in this case, when Kelly eventually flew back home — and he stayed in Taiwan for work — she and he kept in touch and 'spoke constantly for three weeks on different time zones' Advertisement The couple couldn't stand to be a part much longer, so Kelly booked herself a flight back to Taiwan and traveled the 6,000-mile trek to see the special lad again. 'I was so nervous going out there, but I'd arranged my own hotel just in case things didn't go to plan,' she told the outlet. 'But as soon as I arrived there, he'd arranged for flowers to be waiting in my hotel room, and he swooped me up as soon as the hotel elevator doors opened.' After their time together in Taiwan, the lucky guy visited Kelly in the UK — and the two eventually met each other's families. Advertisement 3 This love story sounds like it's the plot of a rom-com movie. Jam Press/@graces__adventures 'We both rarely meet anyone who we click with this much and whose lifestyle matches each other so well,' she said. 'He's so refreshing, insanely skilled and definitely the most intelligent man I've ever met, but also really funny and down to earth.' Kelly shared her love story on social media — and the internet couldn't get enough of it. 'This looks like it was taken right out of a romcom – love love love it,' one commenter wrote. 'I LOVE this,' another comment read. 'Ahhhh, how exciting!' wrote someone else. Advertisement The most touching part of this story is that although these long-lost lovers met in a completely different country, it turned out that they both grew up in the UK, living only an hour apart from each other. Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways.
