The new drama "Small Town, Big Events" starring Zhao Liying and Huang Xiaoming premiered on the 10th. The series has been hailed as the drama king of the year with over 2 million reservations, and the ending theme song is a collaboration sung by 11 actors, including the leads, with the MV hitting over 100 million views in a single day. The story is inspired by farmers building a city in Longgang, Wenzhou, in the 1980s, and follows grassroots officials leading the masses to pool funds to build their own city. Zhao Liying appears with a bare face and ear-length short hair, while Huang Xiaoming lost 6.8 kg for his role.
As for real life, Huang Xiaoming joked that the two share a common trait—they both love to eat: "We're foodie buddies and often find ways to look for delicious local food. What impressed us most is that we both love spicy food. It was really difficult to find spicy dishes in Fuzhou, but I found a place with amazing spicy frog, so I would often pack some to share with everyone. Liying thought it was especially tasty. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water." Zhao Liying laughed and said, wherever there is Huang Xiaoming, there's always good food and drink, which gives them the energy to get things done.
