#like I could do a side by side photo comparison of Ma Zhe’s eyes vs ZYL’s vs He Fei’s xD

Planning to write my thesis or straight out devoting my life on the question of how todays pretty boy and mazhe is the same person, any thoughts?

Oooh I am fully on board with the thesis idea, Anon! It would be a fascinating case study on acting craft.

(Okay so when it comes to Ma Zhe I usually end up writing essays so I shall try to keep this short. 😅)

I agree in a physical appearance sense Ma Zhe looks very different to Long Ge: the hair, the make-up, Ma Zhe had really nice thighs - but nowadays it isn’t so much Ma Zhe that makes me look at Long Ge and then back at him in a “how are they the same person” type of way. It’s He Fei.

I look at He Fei and my brain still goes “that is not Zhu YiLong, nope, he has left the building that’s someone else.”

And it’s all due to his eyes - somehow he has mastered acting to such a level that he can do that with his eyes - I don’t know how to say in English like he has swapped souls with the character during filming.

The only time he was that unrecognizable to such a level for me in a movie/film was when he played Mo San Mei (and it wasn’t because he shaved his head either). xD

I can see still hints of Long Ge in Ma Zhe, because his eyes held that same reflection of familiarity ...idk what to call it in English… comforting soulfulness(?) that makes you wanna root for him, see what he does next, or in my case playfully call him a smol bean.. And I do not understand why I love Ma Zhe so much.

#asks #text posts #this message made my week anon so thank you #also I’m sorry when it comes to Ma Zhe I cannot stop talking about him lmafo #like I could do a side by side photo comparison of Ma Zhe’s eyes vs ZYL’s vs He Fei’s xD #it isn’t because He Fei was a villain because so was YeZun and his eyes had hints of Long Ge having a great time #it probably helped that I didn’t see Long Ge as He Fei because I could look at his face after seeing the film super easy like Aw smol bean
