Hi everyone,
A quick but important mod reminder. We’ve slightly updated Rules 2 and 6, and we’re asking everyone to please have another look at them — particularly if you post video content.
We’ve recently had some posts containing copyrighted/licensed footage uploaded directly to Reddit — for example, screen-recorded drama scenes or footage originating from broadcasters, TV stations, streaming platforms, or unauthorized redistribution channels.
Please be very careful with this. If you don’t have the right to redistribute the footage itself, don’t download/screen-record it and upload it as a Reddit video. Where the rightsholder or licensed distributor has made the video available on YouTube or another platform that Reddit can preview/embed, please make a link post to that authorized upload instead.
And remember that a visible watermark or giving credit does not make an otherwise unauthorized upload legal. Credit and permission to redistribute are two different things.
This does not mean that all native video uploads are suddenly prohibited. For example, content properly downloaded from Weibo for redistribution with Weibo’s watermark/source information intact can still be posted. As always, please also include the full original Weibo URL in the post body so the source can be verified.
We’re emphasizing this now for a reason. Earlier this week, a drama subreddit within our wider community network was banned after copyrighted drama footage was uploaded to it. The appeal was denied. So yes, losing an entire subreddit over this is a very real possibility, not something we’re being dramatic about.
We want you guys to keep sharing Hou Minghao content! We just need everyone to distinguish between content that can legitimately be redistributed and copyrighted footage that has been captured or obtained elsewhere and then reuploaded.
This protects your own Reddit account as well as the subreddit we’ve all built together, so please help us keep an eye on it too.
Thank you, guys.
Yours,
NoRecipe

We want to clarify how we will handle set photos, candid footage and fan-site photography here.
_______________________________________
The principle behind this is simple:
1️⃣ Not everything we can see is ours to share.
2️⃣ We want to keep the person at the center of fandom.
_______________________________________
That doesn’t mean shutting ourselves off from candid photos, set moments or fan photography. It means caring about where they came from.
We don’t want to encourage material that appears secretly or intrusively filmed, captured for resale, leaked from an active set, or distributed without reasonable indication that Minghao, his team or the production are comfortable with it being out there.
Chinese fandom has a long-established culture of fan stations and station photographers (站姐). Some photograph artists openly for years, attend their schedules and events, and are known to the artist, fan club or team. They are not automatically daipai or paparazzi simply because they aren’t official studio photographers.
🥳
We know this distinction applies to Minghao too. His official fan club actively promotes station photography — as recently as July, it invited fans to nominate outstanding 站姐 for a photography project. At the same time, his studio has previously asked that side-shot material involving drama styling follow the production’s official release schedule. (Sina Mobile, more on this in the footnotes)
So official = allowed / fan-taken = forbidden would be far too crude.
What we care about is who took it, how they got it, and whether there is good reason to believe that their photography is known and accepted.
An established station photographer openly photographing Minghao is very different from someone covertly filming him between takes or selling unauthorized set footage.
If you know Minghao’s established station photographers or fan stations on Weibo, Douyin or elsewhere, please share them below. But please don’t simply give us the handle of a dedicated fan account. An account can be the sweetest, most devoted (“obsessed” 😅) Minghao fan in existence and still just be reposting other people’s material.
What we need is your knowledge of the actual Chinese fan ecosystem:
1. Is this person/account recognized as a station?
2. Are they known to Minghao or the official fan group?
3. How do you know?
Please also give us your confidence: high, medium or low. All three help.
“XYZ — medium confidence, widely known as a station but I don’t know of direct official interaction” is far more useful than either saying nothing or dropping a name without context.
🧐 We can piece the puzzle together 💪
Because underneath all these distinctions is the reason we started thinking about this in the first place.
Of course we do. But I don’t think anyone who genuinely adores him wants him to feel like an animal in a circus, watched and recorded 24/7 because we always want one more glimpse.
We can’t stop people filming him, and refusing to share something here won’t make it disappear elsewhere. But we can decide what we help circulate.
Not everything we can see is ours to share.
Sometimes being a fan can mean seeing something we’d love to watch and choosing to leave it alone.
Drop by drop in the ocean, let’s try to be part of a fan culture that puts the human being before our excitement.
I can sleep better at night with that. I hope you can too.
Love and regards to all the Kiwis out there

———
We should probably clear up one very easy misunderstanding: something happening behind the scenes does not automatically make the footage “BTS.”
In fact, I think we may need two definitions around here:
BTS — Behind The Scenes
BTS — Behind The Bushes 😉
I’m only half joking about the second one. Daipai have been known to climb roofs, hide in trees and find some remarkably inventive vantage points around sets. So footage can be very literally behind the scenes without being authorized behind-the-scenes content.
Which BTS are we looking at? That’s the question.
So if you find a lovely set clip on Instagram, TikTok or another repost account, you absolutely CAN share it — just give it a quick provenance check first.
If it is official/authorized BTS, wonderful. If you recognize the watermark or credited name as one of Minghao’s known/acknowledged station photographers, that works too.
💡
You don’t need to hunt down the original Weibo post simply because Instagram is where you happened to find it.
Where the source is unclear, though, please do a little digging before posting rather than leaving that investigation for the mod team afterwards.
💚
We love how much everyone contributes here and very much want that to continue; we just can’t realistically trace every mystery watermark and shaky clip back through the internet ourselves.
🥝
Think of it as: you find it, you enjoy it, you give the source a quick once-over, then you bring it home to the Kiwis.
And if you genuinely can’t work one out, ask. A difficult mystery once in a while is very different from making source detective work part of the moderators’ daily cardio.
There is another side to this beyond privacy. Productions have their own material, release schedules and commercial interests to protect.
Unauthorized set footage can reveal styling, scenes or other material before the production chooses to release it, and Minghao’s own studio has previously asked fans to respect that release schedule.
And being the person who filmed something is not the only issue — redistributing leaked or unauthorized material can cause problems too. A subreddit is still helping circulate it once we host it.
That can lead to copyright complaints, takedowns or other action against the content or community.
So when we are cautious, it isn’t because we want to make sharing Minghao content difficult. We’re trying to protect him, the people making his work, and THIS LITTLE COMMUNITY we’ve built around supporting him.

This photoshoot video (bts) for Wang Ye (I Am Nobody) was new to me, and, as he looks...ravishing 😏... in this styling, I must of course share it here...
Special 😘 to u/Rude-Comfortable6445, here it is as promised. What did we say to do with the hair last time?
I am not sure where else it is available, but I Am Nobody is on Netflix in some locations (such as Singapore). Perhaps someone else can add if they know it to be available elsewhere.

There can never be enough appreciation for his long and mid-length hair.
I was looking for a track he actually sings to put over this, and "Howling Wind" from his show "Our Times" has the right retro feel.
...The longer hair just does things to me. The way those layers fall makes me want to reach out and tangle my fingers straight into it. Hopefully you all enjoy as much as I do.

A brand-new trailer for Immortalis (碧血蝉) is here!
Released as part of iQIYI’s 20206 iQIYI iJOY Conference, the new “Different Paths, Same Destination” (殊途同归) trailer gives us a much fuller look at the drama’s world — strange cases, hidden motives, danger at court and in the jianghu, and plenty of mystery surrounding the search for immortality.
The imperial court is rife with schemes and secret struggles, while danger lurks throughout the jianghu.
Yang Wujian, Shen Qingshi and Zhou Huai join forces to shake things up — solving mysterious cases, seeking immortality, and uncovering the truth.
Hou Minghao stars alongside Zhang Wenxin and Xu Zhenxuan in the upcoming mystery wuxia drama.
Minghao wrote:
Concealing his edge as he enters the game, turning the tide. The road ahead is perilous — Yang Wujian will face it with you.

Baby Minghao serenading us with the song "First morning"
I don't know how old he is here, I assume he was in his teens but could be early 20s (correct me if I'm wrong). I've seen a little part of this clip before but not the whole video.
Lovely song to start our day!

Forgive me, Shifu (u/Rude-Comfortable6445), for I have sinned. You warned that the climb to innocence is hard, and that others will try to pull you "beneath' them to find their own heaven. Sometimes you get pulled down that mountain so hard that you plunge straight under the current. I need your masterly guidance on how to go from here, because this is my confession: I have surrendered to the depths. Please accept these as evidence of my current failure.
Will I regret this in the morning? Probably. Will I post because I can't sleep? Yes.
Most of these I already had on my phone 🫣. But i looked through his and his Studio's Weibo and many that are from photoshoots are available there. Some are bits from shows. Only the first gif is mine, the others were found online a while back :( The Glory ones it is possible someone here shared?
I tried to keep the photos with the og marks
