Ziqi's Mini Theater (BONUS CLIPS outside of the drama)

Do you guys know there's bonus footage for Mu Sheng (it's called Ziqi's Theater) that I found on Ding Yuxi's Studio weibo? Usually these bonus footages are found at the end of each episode, but I haven't seen it (I'm watching on Wetv app). I'll compile them here with the link; hope they keep working. I'll add and edit as more become available.

Edited on 11/5/2024 to add: it's revealed on Weibo that the reason these aren't in the drama episodes because Ding Yuxi filmed these "easter eggs" in Hengdian a month or so ago by himself (that means, paid for and produced by his own team) in preparation for the drama release. Reason is, he wanted to flesh out his Mu Sheng character, so he filmed it in what he believes Mu Sheng is feeling after recalling each "significant" moment of his character's development.

Hengdian staff discovered him on 10/8/2024 (less than a month before drama airs on 11/1).

Staff on wechat: "Who is this? This look like Mu sheng? Today the Hengdian DP sent to me. Mu Sheng has this exact outfit. Maybe its extra materials (to film)."

he's so cute! thank you for the translations!

This is so cute! Thanks for posting with the explanations~!!

I've been enjoying these clips and started appreciating them even  more after finding out DYX went back to film these afterwards (I saw a reuters photo of him on site).

Ryan Ding Yuxi is so dedicated to his craft, and his love for each of his roles is always super deep to him. It looks like he really love Mu Sheng in particular, as he could have been taking a break at home but instead went through all the planning, work, time, and money to film these Mini-theater bonus clips for him and the fans! He's the best!!

Thank you for this! It's so cute!
