Chinese actor Zhang Linghe rose to fame for his role as 'Wu Anhou Xie Zheng' in the historical drama 'The Oath of Love.' He has now joined a new production, filming the period drama 'Return of the Phoenix,' where he once again plays a general. This time, he specifically gained 8kg for the role. Recently, behind-the-scenes photos were revealed, showing a visibly bulkier Zhang Linghe dressed in white mourning clothes, his eyes filled with sorrow. Even from the photos, you can feel the overwhelming sense of brokenness—his handsomeness surpasses that in 'The Oath of Love'!
Recent behind-the-scenes photos from Zhang Linghe's shooting of 'Return of the Phoenix' have gone viral on Weibo. Wearing white mourning attire with a white headband tied on his head and a few loose strands of hair mixed with white hair falling across his face, he gazes sadly ahead, conveying a deep sense of brokenness. Netizens speculate that this scene is about the death of the mother of Zhang Linghe’s character, 'Xiao Li.' In addition, photos of him in a black military uniform have also been revealed.
