Welcome to my random as hell blog. Brace for waves of Stony, Barisi, Xena, Raul Esparza, Marvel, theater, and a sprinkling of whatever else I'm obsessing over at the moment. I write really stupid, smutty fanfic over on AO3.

What’s the story with yuncifang? Give us all the tea!!!

oooo that's a good one. prepare yourselves, gang, we're flying through some clouds.

I'm not sure how much tea there is, but can tell you about yuncifang, well, as it is or seems to be.

for starters, Yuncifang (云次方)is one of weibo's most famous CPs and consists of two musical actors, Ayunga and Zheng Yunlong. The name of the CP comes from both their names having a character 云/yun in it, which also means "a cloud". YCF basically means Cloud squared. They also sometimes dub themselves/are called 双云/shuang yun, which means Double Cloud.

various shows they make appearances on straight up call them Yuncifang sometimes.

Ayunga - 阿云嘎 - is a musical actor of Mongolian ethnicity, born and raised in Ordos. His name in Mongolian - Ayanga - means lightning. He also has a nickname 嘎子/Ga-Zi, which is something you'd call someone mischievous or naughty (lol), which is funny, because during his uni years in Beijing Dance Academy, he was the class monitor, and basically the responsible and serious one.

Zheng Yunlong - 郑云龙 - is a musical actor, born and raised in Qingdao. Long in his name is the character for dragon, and his nickname 大龙/Da-Long means big dragon. Before SRRX he was basically crowned the Prince of Chinese Musicals, but he himself said he doesn't quite like the term.

They both attended Beijing Dance Academy and were classmates, which I think is one of the reasons the CP is so enticing to fans, them having all that history together. As their graduation project they performed Rent, where in the fourth year they played lovers. Zheng Yunlong played Collins, and Ayunga played Angel.

Ayunga is Beijing-based, Zheng Yunlong is Shanghai-based, but they maintain that they're close friends and, for instance, Ayunga has seen all of Zheng Yunlong's musicals he could attend. Zheng Yunlong has seen his, some, like "My bucket list" (我的遗愿清单)several times :) They are both incredible singers, often perform together, and have several songs together.

SRRX basically propelled them to well-deserved recognition and fame, both of them have made the Forbes' 30 influentual people under 30 in 2019.

When asked about their view on CP, Ayunga basically said that their friendship is so profound, that nothing can rattle it, and if the fans like to imagine "something beautiful", then they don't mind.

Also, Ayunga has joked on weibo about getting marriage certificates with Zheng Yunlong, often uses "my Dalong" when referring to him, and calls him cute. You know. As friends do.

During SRRX Ayunga clowned Zheng Yunlong's wardrobe, because Zheng Yunlong is the type to wear the same pair of jeans for ten years and isn't at all interested in spending money on expensive clothes. So, he borrows Ayunga's clothes for photoshoots and events. You know. As friends do.

And that was a quick rundown of Yuncifang.

My mom has been yelling about her Ayanga obsession for a while now, and since my favorite blogger 你也入坑了, is it a sign I should check him out?🤪

ahahah, well anon, I think this is a decision only you can reconcile with yourself, 但是你知道我总会欢迎你入坑 :))))))

once you've discovered Ayanga, you can't exactly undiscover Ayanga, so decide carefully! at any rate, here are a few videos from 《声入人心》 to get you started:

  1. Les Rois du Monde - beyond the fact that this song is a total banger, and Yu Di and Hong Zhiguang are kicking some serious ass, and even Wang Xi is bopping along at 1:46, and words cannot contain how much I love how hard Fang Shujian is rocking out at 1:48, what continues to absolutely break my brain is the fact that Ayanga doesn't know a lick of French
  2. 鹿 be free and 往日时光 - his duets with Cai Chengyu (another tenor) and Wang Xi (a baritone) really showcase his versatility and range. also I kinda love these songs
  3. 偿还 and I'll Cover You (yes, from Rent) - if your chosen path towards Ayanga travels through 双云/云次方, I shan't judge you for it, here's a starter pack for your journeys :)). I really love Zheng Yunlong and Ayanga's relationship, it's very wholesome and often hilarious
  4. 生命的故乡 - I realize that I haven't put an Ayanga solo song on here yet because he's such a good team player! One of the things I admire so much about him is his general lack of diva-ness despite being the protagonist of this variety show a performer who's often cast as A角 with the skill and experience and acting credits to justify a lot more of an ego than he displays. anyway here's a moment from one of the few times he was ever dethroned from his 首席位, proving that he definitively deserves said 首席位
  5. but if we're being honest, I just love Ayanga's general vibes? his good-naturedness, humor, genuine love and enthusiasm for his art,  supportiveness for his fellow contestants. there's this clip where they pair up for duets by playing song charades that's comedy gold, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about this hilarity from episode 8 at least once a week
