Tips

usage
As the news agency, 路透 is short for 路透社, as in 据路透报道 'according to Reuters'. Fan slang turned the name into a pun: 路 for 路人 'passer-by' and 透 for 透露 'to leak', so a 路透 is a photo a passer-by takes of a star or a shoot and posts online.
culture
Fans wait outside studios such as 横店 to catch stars in costume, and a new drama's first 路透 can trend on Weibo within hours.
