Under the new rules, actors are billed according to their screentime/ story. Main leads have the most screentime,…
Don't tell me MDL is your authentic source, LOL!... MDL is not an authentic chinese website. it has no idea where to place whom. PGY was placed as special appearance before changed to support role and samantha ko is in main role... so you are telling me she has longer screentime than PGY... have you even read the novel? even if they change the script completely, Ko's screentime cannot be increased at all...
It is a new billing system. PGY is one of the leads alongside Lulu and CH. Because PGY’s name has a high stroke count, his name has to be listed under “Special Appearance.” You cannot have more than 3 lead names anymore. It is not determined by screen time. Under this system, even main actors may sometimes be credited as special appearances. For example, Johnny Huang’s name may appear more frequently under “Special Appearance” simply because of the number of strokes in his name. https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1v54u8d/kai_dao_tu_mi_%E5%BC%80%E5%88%B0%E8%8D%BC%E8%98%BC_from_tencent_officially/
Leading actors (sorted by the number of character strokes in the surname):
5️⃣ Bai Mengyan 白梦妍 (stage name: Bai Lu 白鹿) as Wang Yunna
🔟 Samantha Ko Hoi-ling / Gao Haining 高海宁 as Wei Shudong (Zuo Wensi’s sister)
1️⃣1️⃣ Chang Huasen 常华森 as Zuo Wensi
Special appearance (sorted by the number of character strokes in the surname):
1️⃣2️⃣ Peng Guanying 彭冠英 as Teng Haiqi (Wei Shudong's husband)
Why peng guanying is a special appearance is he not the ultimate villain?
his name in chinese and its stroke count is very long, in future his credit will be mostly special appearance in all dramas.. this is because of the new billing system

it is a new system.. his namestroke is high so his name has to be placed in special appearance.. it is not according to screentime. In this system, main actors names could be in special appearances...like Johnny Huang's names might pop up more and more in special appearances due to name stroke length
U should not be annoyed if someone doesn't like ur favorite tho. If u like him doesn't mean everyone has to. 🤷🏼♀️
i agree... but as a lurong, if negativity starts even before the drama shoots, based on the lead actor's name..with no basis (his image is clean)... it is going to affect the whole drama... because media will pick up comments from her fans, websites...they are vultures.. how will it benefit the drama? so i did not like the fact that fans are commenting on the actor without any basis. i dont care if they like him or not... but such comments are not helping lulu or the drama.
Whether on Weibo, other social platforms, or in the international fandom, i haven’t really seen any Lurong unhappy…
i can see you did not understand what i was trying to say or did not try to understand. So, i don't bother discussing it further with you. I agree with some of your points only because my wordings perhaps implied what i did not mean to say. ''Bailu does not need someone to tone down their acting for her to shine''---- this is the stupidiest interpretation of my comment i have ever read from any fans in any forum. i have not meant or wrote that at all. Nothing else to say. Lastly, i am not a lulu fan who gives 10 or 9.5 to every lulu's drama. So, perhaps i am more perceptive to criticisms against her and think about what can be improved so that she goes higher. i care the least taking any other actress's name here, i am not afraid of any discussion because i believe Bai Lu is no less of an actress than anyone mentioned. I am proud of her. Not that i dont like Yang Zi, she is a good actress. But i always support the actress who i feel has the potential but hasn't achieved what she could achieve due to various reasons... Bottomline, my comments are geared to notify the facts that there could be lurongs who like PGY or any other actor.. and if they see that their actors are not being respected, they have the right to comment! Just because we are lurongs doesn't mean i will say yes and agree if you are disrespectful and comment bu**sh** about actors i like.
I read a comment that Bai Lu may be retiring. Said to be a rumour. Does anyone know of this? My heart would break…
nonsense... she is changing her gear to next level... her desire to raise her level is clear with the new drama with PGY... Lulu needs to up her game in acting to act alongside PGY
Peng Guan Ying?I aint on X or weibo can someone tell me is this rumors stronger at these account or any other…
yes HE is. also one of my fav actors... he only works in dramas where script is demanding and intense.. he is a good actor, has worked with renowned actresses... but he is one of the very few actors who allows his actresses to shine more than himself..
even if they change the script completely, Ko's screentime cannot be increased at all...
