'The Rise of Phoenixes': Fan videos capture the fun actors had behind the scenes on the sets of your favorite show
'The Rise of Phoenixes', a Chinese period drama starring Chen Kun as Ning Yi and Ni Ni as Feng Zhiwei, is about brothers who fight each other and kill each other for the throne. The 70 episode series is on Netflix and was originally aired on Hunan TV in 2018. The lead actors of the show received much praise for their role and their performance and fans have grown by huge numbers since it was first screened on Netflix. While the show was low on humor and high on drama, the actors had a lot of fun behind the scenes and videos subbed by fans on YouTube are a must-watch if you love the show.
One of the videos, for instance, shows Chen Kun carrying a twig of leaves everywhere he goes and marveling at the symmetry of the leaves (no kidding!) He even carries it with him during scene rehearsals, while posing with Ni Ni and even annoys the film crew with his twig.
