Zhang Mingbo

BIOGRAPHY

Zhang Mingbo (Chinese: 章明伯; also credited as Zhang Boyu, 章博予; born July 5, 1998) is a Chinese actor working across mainland television drama. His screen record is short but has moved quickly from episodic support to sustained series work.

He appeared in the 2025 romance Second Chance Romance as Gao Haotian across two episodes, then took the recurring role of Mi Xiaoran in the twenty-six-episode 2025 crime drama Crime Hunt, his largest credit to date. In 2026 he joined the Chinese-Hong Kong BL drama Sammy’s Children’s Day, set in the 1980s Kowloon Walled City, playing Lu Guangming across all nine episodes, a third-billed supporting lead alongside He Changxi, He Yanzhao and Matthew Han. The series is directed by An You and adapted from the web novel by She Xie Dian Dian.

BLGLFlix editorial view

Two episodes in 2025, twenty-six in a crime drama the same year, then third billing across a whole series. That is quick.

Zhang Mingbo played Gao Haotian for two episodes of Second Chance Romance, then the recurring Mi Xiaoran through Crime Hunt. In 2026 he plays Lu Guangming right through Sammy’s Children’s Day, nine episodes, billed third behind He Changxi and He Yanzhao.

Billing order is one of the few pieces of hard information a small production publishes about its own hierarchy, and third of four in a nine-episode series is a specific position: enough screen time to carry a subplot, not enough to be the reason anyone watches. Actors move up or out of that slot within a couple of years.

The production is adapted from a web novel by She Xie Dian Dian and directed by An You. He is also credited elsewhere as Zhang Boyu, and both spellings are on this record, because a career this new is easy to lose track of across two names.
