A Drama Academy PhD Explains Why Xiao Zhan Stays Popular Long-Term 👤: If you ask who the real top star in the domestic entertainment industry is, the comment section would probably blow up. But among industry professionals, if any ranking dares to leave out the name Xiao Zhan, then that ranking might as well be thrown straight into the trash. So why do insiders see Xiao Zhan as a stabilizing force, while casual viewers feel he’s especially quiet and low-key. Behind this contrast is the underlying logic that explains how Xiao Zhan can stay popular beyond 2026 and stand out as a one-of-a-kind case. Today, let’s break it down from three psychological angles. First, his socialization path gives him a major advantage. When people look at Xiao Zhan, they shouldn’t just focus on his face, the one that’s topped global “most handsome” lists for six consecutive years. They need to look at his résumé. He debuted at 24. Before that, he graduated from a comprehensive university with a degree in design. He actually worked regular jobs, was a real office worker, started a business, stayed up late, revised drafts, and got worn down by demanding clients. This point is extremely important. Many actors have never worked regular jobs at all. So when they act in workplace dramas, it often feels fake. They’re basically just acting it out. They don’t really know what the real world looks like. But when Xiao Zhan plays Sheng Yang or Xiao Chunsheng, that sense of a real, living person isn’t something he acts. It’s something that’s already in him. In psychology, this is called complete socialization. And for an actor, this is extremely important. Even though I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, I still think many students who come out of acting programs are lacking in this area. Xiao Zhan brings a designer’s mindset, a professional habit of solving problems, into the entertainment industry. That clarity, together with real workplace experience, is his strongest shield in a world driven by fame and profit. Second, traffic is temporary. Only works truly matter in the long run. Let’s be honest. For most people, the 227 incident would have been a career-ending blow. But for Xiao Zhan, it became a brutal reset of his career. Before that, he was a traffic star supported by fan campaigns. But that storm forced him to go through a psychological transformation early on. On a psychological level, he redefined himself. He clearly understood that traffic and popularity are superficial. Only works are real currency. So he threw himself into the theater, performed A Dream Like a Dream, and at the peak of his popularity, stepped onto the stage of live theater. He spent three years there, training and honing his craft. In psychology, this is called a higher level of desensitization. He stripped away his labels and deliberately put himself into an environment with no filters and no retakes, where he could go all in on his craft. And everyone saw the result. In 2025, The Legend of Zang Hai broke viewership records. During the 2026 New Year crossover period, its ratings share hit legendary status. All of this is the compounded return on those three years of investment. Third, this comes down to the capital side’s sense of psychological security. Here, I’ll have to share a bit of industry insider talk. A lot of people say that Xiao Zhan is “capital’s favorite son.” But honestly, you’re overcomplicating it. The logic of investors is very simple. I invest to make money. Artists who come with low risk and high returns are a guaranteed safe bet. Among top male stars in the domestic entertainment industry, there are only a few real options. Who stays away from messy relationships with female assistants? Who works hard on set, doesn’t cause trouble, cooperates well, and stays professional? In an era where scandals break out at any moment, a top star like Xiao Zhan, with no gossip, no variety shows, who spends his days on set, is basically a low-risk, high-return investment product in the capital market. Even brokerage research reports use him as a reference case. At this point, it’s no longer about whether he’s popular or not. It’s about the fact that his commercial credibility has already turned into real, tangible value, real hard currency in financial terms. To sum it up, Xiao Zhan’s success is adult self-discipline beating empty youthful showmanship. He turned himself from just a name into a brand. So even if casual viewers feel that he appears less often, the moment he shows up, the gap is overwhelming, on a completely different tier. Finally, I want to ask everyone a very clear-headed question. In the entertainment industry, what do you think matters more: being constantly visible on variety shows, or being like Xiao Zhan, where every appearance comes with real substance? #XiaoZhan #肖战

Ni Ping: You’re such a good actor. Your fans must be so proud. Xiao Zhan: No, no. Ni Ping: What, they didn’t watch it? Xiao Zhan: They did, they did. They probably all did. Ni Ping: You were so good. I’m telling you, you need to thank Kong Sheng. Xiao Zhan: Yes, yes, yes. Of course, of course. Later, Ni Ping also told Kong Sheng, “You should really give him a few more films.” Then Kong Sheng said, “There’s no chance now. He’s already gone to Shandong.” (T/N: I can’t make out every word clearly myself, so this is based on what Chinese fans transcribed) #XiaoZhan #肖战 #33rdBeijingCollegeStudentFilmFestival

🎧 Xiao Zhan — “Just Dance” (现在不跳舞要干嘛) | Dragon TV New Year’s Eve Gala | Reaction by Zhang Shanfeng (professional photographer) 👤: I have a friend, he’s a world-class photographer. He’s worked with a lot of artists, really top-level ones. He’s a foreigner and has worked with a lot of artists in China. And a lot of the male celebrities that we think are handsome, he doesn’t necessarily think so. He told me that among all the male artists he’s worked with, Xiao Zhan is the only one he truly finds handsome. When you see him in person, you’d really feel the difference when you stand next to him. He’s worked with basically all the so-called “handsome guys” people talk about these days, but the most handsome one to him is Xiao Zhan. His features are very sharp and defined. It’s the kind of look both men and women find attractive. He’s not that overly soft, delicate type of beauty that’s common nowadays. He sits right between those two. He’s not just your typical big-screen handsome guy. Youtube: #XiaoZhan #肖战

Xiao Zhan, the First in the History of China’s Entertainment Industry When Xiao Zhan lifted the Weibo King trophy for the third time, what he changed was not only his personal record, but also the definition of this traffic-driven era. A true top star, it turns out, is someone who can outlast cycles and stay at the top. From 2019 and 2020 to 2025, across seven years, he won the King title three times. People can’t help asking, why Xiao Zhan again? So today, let’s talk about it. If it were only about popularity, it would be impossible to secure such a solid place at the top. At their core, Xiao Zhan’s three titles are a declaration that strong works can rise above traffic. In 2025, with an almost flawless track record, he brought unprecedented weight to the Weibo King title. In television, The Legend of Zang Hai pulled far ahead, taking first place in annual views across the three leading platforms, Lighthouse, Maoyan and Yunhe. It is widely recognized as the undisputed drama of the year. In film, Gezhi Town and The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants were both released that year, achieving breakthroughs in both box office and word of mouth, and both were selected as Top Ten Most Influential Film and TV Works in Peking University’s China Film and Television Blue Book. This is not just the market’s vote, but top-level recognition from academia and the industry. The history Xiao Zhan made with his three wins goes far beyond a single trophy. He is like a beacon, showing several key directions for the turbulent waters of the domestic entertainment industry. First, he proved that popularity and real substance can go hand in hand. For a long time, the market treated the two as opposites. But Xiao Zhan’s own journey shows that huge public attention can magnify quality works, while solid works are what truly stabilize popularity. He completed the crucial shift from being driven by popularity to defining popularity through his strength. Second, he showed that long-term commitment is the ultimate survival rule. In an industry where fame rises fast and fades fast, seven years is enough to witness countless ups and downs. His three King titles did not come from a short burst of fame, but from consistent, high-quality output. This tells everyone in the industry that harder than becoming famous overnight is being able to deliver convincing results year after year. Third, he reshaped the standards for judging top-tier artists. Today, you can’t judge whether an artist is at the top by trending topics or fan buzz alone. You also have to look at whether they produce landmark works that match their influence, whether they gain endorsement from major mainstream platforms, and whether they stay level-headed and grateful while achieving major success. Xiao Zhan has written a clear footnote to this standard. His third time winning the title is not the end, but a more meaningful beginning. He symbolizes that the domestic entertainment industry has entered a new stage. Here, popularity is the entry ticket, works are the deciding arena, and a person’s character and vision determine how long they can stay at the top. This is not only Xiao Zhan’s personal evolution, but also a future path for the industry that audiences who value quality content are glad to see. Youtube: #XiaoZhan #肖战

Lin Hai (Dragon TV host) on his livestream, talking about Xiao Zhan: “Waiting is captivating, and happiness in 2026 has no limits.” **Is it the kind of happiness I’m hoping for? 🙏 🤫: That night, when I was there listening to this song live, I felt especially moved. Especially when I was standing at the stage entrance, watching the big screen and the live shots the director cut to on site. I saw him, there was a faint, shimmering glint at the corner of his eyes. And later on, when I went back and rewatched the cut from that live performance, I felt deeply moved. I just said that waiting can be very compelling, and so can persistence. Someone asked, what did you feel being there in person? I think, um, I felt very honored. It’s been, well, about seven years now. Seven years ago, I hosted Our Song, and in the first season I met many outstanding singers, including one who, at the time, still felt very youthful and quite childlike — Xiao Zhan. And if I have to put it into words, this time, sharing the stage with him, I’d say it really is “boys to man.” It truly is “boys to man.” But through that process of going from boys to men, he has still kept that sense of simplicity and that respect for the stage. Yes, that’s what I mean. So I feel that night, when the whole venue lit up in a sea of red, and he was singing this song, what was going on inside him must have been stronger than what any of us were feeling. So, just like I said, let’s look forward to it together. In 2026, happiness with no limits, alright? #XiaoZhan #肖战 #DragonTVNYE26_XiaoZhan

Huang Jue (Lord Pingjin) on the difference between Xiao Zhan’s public image and real personality [ENG SUB] 🎤: How do you think Xiao Zhan fits the role of Zang Hai? 🙍🏻♂️: I’d say about 90%. The word I’d use is… "restraint." I think Xiao Zhan is actually a very healthy and sunny person, but because of his public status, he often hides his true emotions. Only when you work with him, you realize he’s a very lively young man. 🎤: So, what we see might be somewhat different from who he really is? 🙍🏻♂️: There’s definitely some distance, some gap. For example, before I met him, what I saw of Xiao Zhan in the media was more like a symbol — Xiao Zhan as a public figure. But when you meet him face to face, he’s very three-dimensional. For example, when we were having a meal together, he talked about a play he performed in called A Dream Like a Dream. He put a lot of emotion into that play. He said he still remembers every single line. I think that’s quite rare. When you perform with Xiao Zhan, it’s easy to feel a really strong connection between you two. #XiaoZhan #肖战 #LegendOfZanghai

Xiao Zhan | The King of the Numbers | 2025 — A Year of Success Just how outrageous Xiao Zhan’s overwhelming top-tier popularity really is: with just the slightest move, he can easily take full control of the numbers. Xiao Zhan’s personal hashtag on Douyin has surpassed 230 billion views, making him the first celebrity overall and also the only one to reach this “data king” milestone. User participation also ranks first by a wide margin. And that’s not all. The Legend of Zang Hai, which aired exclusively on Youku, ranked No.1 for both the drama itself and its lead character in Tencent’s 2025 industry report. Even though he did not air a drama on Tencent in 2025, he still held No.1 positions across 13 charts. Think that’s the end? He also topped the 2025 year-end rankings, ranking first on two lists. With a cumulative attention score of 841.5 billion, he was named the Most Discussed Personality. With an annual index score of 100, he was named the Most Fan Stickiness Artist. The significance of these results stands in a league of its own. People were saying that at the New Year’s Eve gala, Dragon TV proudly said, “We have Xiao Zhan.” He ranked No.1 across all platforms during New Year’s Eve, by a wide margin. It reached a peak of 860 million views, with a search index of 15.76 million, becoming Dragon TV’s highest-rated program of the year, along with an eight-second red sea during the live broadcast. Xiao Zhan is also known for spoiling his fans. Right after that, his studio changed its background image to the 8-second Red Sea. In 2025, every step Xiao Zhan takes is steady and eye-catching. His drama The Legend of Zang Hai claimed the year-end No.1 across the Lighthouse, Maoyan, and Yunhe charts, a clear phenomenon-level hit of the year. Gezhi Town was even publicly praised by CCTV News. His music album WM has consistently ranked within the top five on the male singer reputation chart. He can truly be said to be thriving across film, television, and music. There are no shortcuts in life. He has always treated every job with sincerity built on hard work and sweat. That is why he remains an actor whose recognition stands entirely on his own. #XiaoZhan #肖战

Yao Peng, Vice President of Lamett, couldn’t stop praising Xiao Zhan’s incredible selling power and massive influence, calling him the industry’s universally recognized "living God of Wealth"! “Xiao Zhan’s selling power — just how strong is it?" Do you know how strong Xiao Zhan’s selling power really is? Many people think that getting a spokesperson just means running an ad, creating an image, and that it doesn’t really have much to do with business. Only after meeting Xiao Zhan did I realize just how superficial I really was. Let me give you an example. Zenith watches — 750,000 yuan each. Seven hundred and fifty thousand, not 750. And they sold out the same day. That single day’s sales were more than the entire previous month. So, you can imagine just how incredibly powerful our Xiao Fei Xia (Xiao Zhan’s fandom) is. And then there’s If coconut water. On the very first day it launched, the Hong Kong stock rose 42%. Market value shot up to 10.5 billion HKD. And what about the Honor 400 series that Xiao Zhan endorsed? In just 23 days after launch, it broke through one million units. By September 8, sales had reached three million. That’s a 195% increase compared to the previous series. So when Xiao Zhan endorses something, it really means explosive sales. Everyone says: This isn’t just hiring a spokesperson. He’s like a living God of Wealth. And when he endorsed our Lamett — Our Douyin and Tmall flagship stores went from zero straight to booming orders. Our LamFun modular cabinets sold out that same day. Topic reads exceeded 700 million, and suddenly, the whole world was talking about Lamett SPC flooring and SPC home solutions. Overnight, it became a household name. So Xiao Zhan endorsing Lamett — it’s not just about brand exposure. It truly allows distributors to capture consumers’ minds and opens the gateway to traffic. That’s why Xiao Zhan is not the same as other celebrities. #XiaoZhan #肖战 #XiaoZhanxLamett

Why are all the big-name projects competing to cast Xiao Zhan? Analyzing the appeal behind it through three key factors. 🧑🏻: Then let’s get right into it and break things down — what kind of qualities make him the top choice for all these big-name projects? Let’s start with the first question: what kind of impression does Xiao Zhan’s temperament give people, and why does it attract so many? 👩🏻: His overall aura — first, there’s this kind of old-school vibe, a bit traditional. And at the same time, he gives off a clean, studious energy — very focused, but not showy. He can make high-IQ characters feel less distant. He has this kind of intelligence that feels approachable — a down-to-earth way of being smart. It’s not flashy or pretentious, just very real. That’s why he feels so relatable. 🧑🏻: Right, it’s easy to feel close to him — that’s really important. 👩🏻: And he also has this mix of fragility and resilience. In his eyes, you can sense a lot of longing — things he’s desired but couldn’t have. At the same time, there’s that sense of someone who’s been through hardship yet remains strong. So he reminds you of those complex experiences in life, and that really touches your heart. 🧑🏻: What do you think allows Xiao Zhan to earn the trust of so many big-name projects in this industry? 👩🏻: Whether it’s Wei Wuxian in The Untamed or Tang San in Douluo Continent, he’s always taken on these kinds of complex roles. He’s also faced a lot of controversy, but in the end, he proved himself in his own way. So his ability to handle pressure, his strong compatibility with nuanced characters, plus his solid fan base — all of that makes him a very reliable choice for big-name projects. He brings a stable level of confidence for investors, which is extremely important in the business sense. 🧑🏻: I think Xiao Zhan’s charm lies in the way he conveys that intelligence with warmth. He carries both vulnerability and strength — a very unique combination. That’s what creates a powerful connection between him and the roles he plays, and also gives these big-name projects a crucial sense of stability. #XiaoZhan #肖战

Lin Hai (Host of the show Our Song) talks about Xiao Zhan’s crazy schedule and love for music [ENG SUB] 👤: Recording an album for someone like Xiao Zhan is really no easy task. Because I have close friends who participated in the production of some of his singles and songs from this album. And honestly, you could say that in the middle of his extremely busy schedule, he carved out time to record this album. Of course, when I was recording Our Song Season 1, I truly experienced firsthand his love for music. At the time, he was filming, so he had to both practice singing and squeeze in time to record Our Song. I remember, across all six seasons of Our Song, there was only one time we started recording at 1 a.m. and kept going until 6 in the morning. It was because Xiao Zhan was filming during the day — after finishing his scenes, he rushed over, rehearsed with Na-jie, and then we started recording at 1 a.m. and wrapped at 6 a.m. And after that, he immediately rushed back to the set to continue filming. Honestly, it was like he was made of iron. Of course, once you're in the entertainment industry and become popular, you’ll be flooded with all kinds of opportunities and work, all lining up for you. But this album Xiao Zhan released — the production stretched across three years. And in those three years, he filmed five dramas, performed in 72 stage plays, shot dozens of commercials and endorsement campaigns, attended countless events, did major stage performances, magazine covers, fashion weeks — all sorts of events. And only in between all that did he manage to complete this album. Which really shows how much he loves music. Because honestly, at this point, making money from selling albums is actually quite hard. #XiaoZhan #肖战

So this is the behind-the-scenes moment Yin Zheng was talking about! When he’s standing there, he really is Mo Dexian🥺 👤: When the soldiers first entered the village, Xiao Mo was standing there. After the gunshot, a single tear just fell from his eye. While we were acting the scene, I reached out and wiped that tear from his face. And Xiao Mo’s reaction was to suddenly tense up. In that moment I thought, wow, he was completely inside the moment. It was really, really great. #XiaoZhan #肖战 #GezhiTown

2025.10.06 Xiao Zhan — «Year After Year» 《岁岁年年》 [ENG SUB] Song Introduction Co-produced by TME Studio and Xiao Zhan Studio, “Year After Year” is a Mid-Autumn themed song about a mutual journey through time. Centered on companionship and flowing along the axis of time, the song links the changing seasons with the gentle rhythm of everyday life. Each verse carries the warmth of ordinary days, turning simple moments into tender confessions hidden within the years. The melody begins like a spring breeze over the fields, slowly unfolding a picture of four seasons spent together. Through its rises and falls, it paints the warmth of life — the quiet tenderness found in daily moments — expressed with honesty and sincerity, revealing the true meaning of being there for one another: those everyday scenes marked by time become vivid and beautiful because they are shared. Emotionally, the song moves from the closeness of daily companionship to the depth of heartfelt wishes. The verses depict fragments of life across the seasons, while the chorus opens up with a broader, more sincere melody, softly delivering the blessing of “peace year after year, joy season after season.” From “walking with you to every faraway place” to “still holding hands when we’re old,” each wish is a reflection of mutual affection. Like a letter filled with hopes across time, it speaks of a love too pure for words — “I’m not good at saying sweet words, I just see you as my light” — and of an enduring bond that lasts a lifetime — “When we’re old, still by the fireside, I’ll listen as you tell me what I was like when young.” Youtube: #XiaoZhan #肖战
