A blogger analyzed Magnolia nominees’ performances.
I will post their evaluation about #XiaoZhan
“Finally, post-90s actors have been nominated for the first time this year[…] Xiao Zhan debuted through a talent show and transitioned from an ordinary person to an actor.
[…]
Xiao Zhan's portrayal of youthful spirit is really outstanding. The two moments of Zang Hai hopping and skipping with the pigeon before his apprenticeship immediately conveyed a sense of youthfulness. It made the audience feel that although he was a vengeful figure burdened with deep hatred, he was well-cared for in his master's home. That kind of playful, non-saccharine, lively, and non-greasy youthful charm might also be a natural talent.[…]
Xiao Zhan's "Legend of Zang Hai" is not a genre that is easy to win main mainstream awards in the usual sense, because it’s not an historical drama in strict sense. Legend of Zang Hai belongs to the ancient legend and has a bit of the supernatural element. However, Zheng Xiaolong made this drama with realism, showing the alienation of people by power in every aspect. It has a profound critique of feudal power. It’s interesting that the common people have names and surnames, while the emperor is nameless. The plot shows that history is written by the people, and the protagonist is the hope supported by the lower class.
The character Zang Hai is beautiful. A professional critic put it well, and me, a self-proclaimed critic, will quote: "Xiao Zhan switches effortlessly between the uprightness of youth and the gentleness of youth."
Both Xiao Zhan and Sun Li are not formally trained actors, yet both possess a natural talent.
Last year I happened to watch Lan Xiaolong's film "#GezhiTown" with my mother. In the same year, Xiao Zhan's portrayal of Mo Dexian and his role as Zang Hai were completely different—so different they seemed like they were played by different people. That's what is called a natural talent.
In the entertainment industry, many formally trained actors excel at one type of role, making it difficult for them to break out of that mold, but I feel that Xiao Zhan not only has the awareness to actively expand his boundaries, but he also has real great talent. Mainly, his eyes are particularly expressive, and his micro-expressions are rich. Moreover, the key is that actors rarely have habitual small gestures, which gives him unlimited possibilities for his acting career. I am optimistic that he will go far in his career.
The Magnolia Award rarely wins on its first nomination. If the award is willing to innovate, I think giving it to Xiao Zhan wouldn't be a problem. Although he's a strong discussed figure with a huge following, his acting skills are undeniable.”

When Xiao Zhan rose to fame, his offline brand event drew such a huge crowd that even a 7 floor mall couldn’t hold everyone. The event caused severe traffic congestion nearly paralyzed nearby roads. To this day, it’s still considered one of China’s biggest open crowd brand events

Trending on Chinese sns “Help #XiaoZhan ask for leave from #TheInfinite10Days”
This comes from a funny joke based on the fact that Xiao Zhan is winning so many awards that every month he has to ask to the director of The Infinite 10 Days, a leaving permit to take an award 🤣
Fans even created fictional conversations between the artist asking the permission to the director 🤣
May you have to ask many other leave permissions during this year, Xiao Zhan!
