In China, Tian Xiwei (田曦薇) is attracting attention as a strong candidate for the heroine in the historical drama "燈花笑," which is based on a novel by a popular author.

Tian Xiwei shot to popularity with the historical drama "逐玉：翡翠の君," which became a hit this spring. In August, her latest starring modern drama "天才、女友" was released. Although "天才、女友" faced criticism for significant changes from the original novel, it has maintained strong performance with sponsor advertisements in all episodes.

"燈花笑," which is also a hot topic online as a candidate for her next work, is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by popular Chinese author Qian Shan Cha Ke. Popular dramas such as "墨雨雲間～美しき復讐～," "錦月如歌 強く美しき誓い," and "雁回時～貴女の誉れ～" have been born from Qian Shan Cha Ke's novels so far. In July, a new adaptation, "将門毒后," finished filming.

"燈花笑" obtained filming permits in June and has been praised as a top-tier project sure to spark a fierce competition among "95花" (popular actresses born between 1995 and 1999). Consequently, attention is focused on the movements of Tian Xiwei, who is seen as the strongest candidate for the heroine.

Tian Xiwei, who broke through with "逐玉：翡翠の君," currently serves as the image character for over 10 brands. In August, she was newly appointed as the ambassador for the cosmetics brand "M・A・C." With her rising popularity and commercial value as a tailwind, will she be selected as the heroine for "燈花笑"? Future official announcements are awaited. (Mathilda)
