Personal portrayals of superstars
"Wang reads books every day and writes book reports twice a week. I believe that helps him vividly portray different characters on film and TV," says Yang Yueqiang, director of the episode about Wang.
Lin depicts Kris Wu, who has nearly 51 million followers on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo, as a "workaholic".
Lin cites an instance in which Wu sent a barrage of WeChat messages at 2 am to his audio engineer to make tiny revisions to his recording.
Lin says the star clearly understands the rapid changes in showbiz circles, and has been working hard to achieve breakthroughs amid great stress.
"All the celebrities have a unique influence in their own fields, but they're also affected and reshaped by the era," says Jin Hui, director of the production company, Haoyu Zhishi Studio of Tencent News.
