Time flash back in November 2018, the current domineering male god Dongfang Qingcang (the character name of the TV series "Canglan Jue"), the domineering young master Daomingsi (the character name of the TV series "Meteor Garden"), and the Chinese idol actor Wang Hedi Dylan led the Chinese version of "Meteor Garden" F4 boy group to ignite the opening ceremony of ICONSIAM, Thailand. Many top Thai artists also rushed to interact and take photos with them. The popularity of ICON has made more Thai media and people pay attention to these new generations of Chinese artists, especially the "Daomingsi" that already had a fan club in Thailand at that time.
Who is he?
Why is he so popular in Thailand?
Taking advantage of the opportunity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in August, Chen Xingyu, let me take a special review of the years when Chinese actor Wang Hedi ignited Thailand.
[Wang Hedi successfully debuted]
On July 9, 2018, China Hunan Satellite TV premiered "Meteor Garden", 18-year-old Wang Hedi successfully debuted. Almost at the same time, this drama also attracted the attention of Thai netizens (Chen Xingyu's note: In August 2019, Thailand's Third TV officially introduced and broadcasted the Thai dubbed version of "Meteor Garden"). Thai audiences and Thai media lamented that Wang Hedi's appearance and temperament are the actors closest to the original comic Daoming Temple (according to Thai media rumors, the 2021 Thai version of "Meteor Garden" is remade according to the framework of the mainland version, and the actors of Daoming Temple are to be drafted according to Wang Hedi).
[Wang Hedi’s first Thai show]
With the popularity of "Meteor Garden" in Thailand, the first overseas fan station of Wang Hedi, an actor who gave birth to Daoming Temple, was opened. This is the Thai support station. Then the spectacular scene of Wang Hedi's first arrival at Bangkok Airport was also ushered in. After interviewing him afterward, he felt that he had never expected that so many Thai fans would welcome him and like him so much.
The opening ceremony of the largest shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand, was held in November 2018, and a large sum of money was invited to the popular "Meteor Garden" F4 Wang Hedi, Guan Hong, Liang Jingkang and Wu Xize, who were in full swing at the time. This event was unprecedentedly grand, and thousands of people gathered in ICON. The Thai entertainment industry is invited by top star artists. That night, Wang Hedi and the four young Chinese actors, including Korean star Cui Siyuan (Super Junior), Thai popular actor Aokbab (The Talented Gunner of the Movie), James Jirayu (The Five-part of the Famous Gentleman in Thai Drama).
[Wang Hedi swept Thailand]
In early November 2018, Wang Hedi frequently made headlines on many Thai media, as well as various programs, magazines and publications. For a time, this domineering young man swept the Thai Internet, attracting heated discussions on the public. At the end of the year, he even participated in a Thai entertainment ceremony, which really attracted another wave of Thai fans. This also laid the foundation for him to obtain many commercial and endorsement activities in the Thai region in the future. Wang Hedi led the F4 boy group to Bangkok, Thailand many times from 2018 to 2019 to attend related events. The four of them were hired as spokespersons by Taokaenoi, the small owner of the Thai seaweed brand. This brand is one of the foods that Chinese tourists love very much in recent years.
[Wang Hedi and Thai fans agree]
With the rapid accumulation of high popularity in Thailand, the second half of 2019 finally officially announced the "Wang Hedi DYLAN: The Real Me Thai Fan Meeting", which is scheduled to be BCC Hall Hall of Central Ladprao Shopping Center in Bangkok on January 19, 2020. Promotional posters and short films and other materials link Wang Hedi and the King Tiger fantasy to show the heroic spirit of this Chinese boy. As soon as the news of the sale was released that year, Thai fans responded enthusiastically, and even the highest ticket price of 6,800 baht was rushing to buy seats.
Unfortunately, there was a major global event in the meeting. Wang Hedi spoke to Thai fans through official channels: "......Striving to go to Thailand as soon as possible to meet fans and friends." To this day, Wang Hedi has transformed into the domineering male god Dongfang Qingcang, sweeping over the land of Siam again.Those Thai fans who like Wang Hedi frequently spoke out this year, hoping that the regret-missed "Thailand Meeting" can be finally "renewed" as soon as possible.

Chinese fantasy fairy tale drama "The Legend of the Condor Healing" not only Chinese audiences call it addicted, but even Thai audiences are addicted to the "super sweet and super healing" love between Oriental Qingcang and Little Orchid. Dongfang Qingcang's "domineering president" feels like a déjà vu, which hits the pleasure of Thai TV viewers.
