oh it gets so much better in the upcoming episodes. trust me watch it
I didn't plan to stop watching it. As I said, I'm loving the drama, but background score is taking me out of it. I'll still continue watching it, but I hope these two directors that people oh so revere (VOS director and Fated Hearts director) take directing 101 classes again, cause I reckon they teach not to let background score feel overpowering or overused. Some of the mistakes they make just feel very juvenile.. I've already talked about Fated Hearts director's mistakes. VOS director on this drama allowed abrupt change of one background score to another. That is so juvenile and so very Indian daily serial style.
I guess my only complaint is overuse of background score.. to the point where they were switching between different scores abruptly, and that's taking me out of the drama. Another drama I felt the overuse of background score so much that it took me out of the drama was Fated Hearts, but VOS is not as bad as Fated Hearts.
VOS at least lets the dialogue flow without the background score overpowering the dialogue. In Fated Hearts, characters could be seen having a random, ordinary conversation, and the background score plays so loud for no reason at all.
"#XuKai's #EightHundred is amazing! ✨ It broke into the CVB primetime daily chart the day after its broadcast, breaking Jiangsu TV's long-standing streak of not appearing on the charts.
(Jiangsu TV only has 3 dramas on the charts this year, and "Within 800 Meters" is one of them.)"
PM Min calling Ian childish is the definition of "pot calling kettle black". Dude, like aren't you even more childish? You want Huiju (and he didn't even ask her consent btw), so you plot to kill a person representing the same crown you wish to protect. You already crossed the line with your personal feelings and yet you have the audacity to lecture Ian for wanting his revenge? Irony died a million times.
He's much more worse than Daebimama and her father.
It would be great if it's true but unfortunately that specific melon account is 1 of the least credible ones on…
That was bound to happen sooner or later if you ask me.
If he leaves, there will be those who'll call him "ungrateful". If he stays, his own Chinese fans will probably criticize him for choosing to continue in that god awful company.
Interesting so if this is true this show will have multiple mls.
The rumour only said they are in "contact" with the said actors. If the rumours are indeed true, Xu Kai or the other actors mentioned are not yet confirmed to star in the drama. They are just being approached at the moment.
🍉Youku’s Male Centric Costume Drama “Changning Emperor's Army/长宁帝军”
Adapted from novel of same name by Zhi Bai
Male lead role in contact with #YuShi, #WuLei, #LiYunrui, #XuKai and #CiSha
📍 • The novel is set against the backdrop of the fictional Ning Country, a nation with unparalleled land combat prowess yet still faces threats from maritime foes. The young protagonist Shen Leng, holding the belief of "wishing to fight for the nation for the rest of his life," takes up arms and joins the struggle for his homeland.
• In November 2022, the novel won the Excellent Work Award in the Military History category at the 3rd Pan-Chinese Online Literature Golden Keyboard Awards
this is very silly of them. is there no trade union or association that supports Chinese actors?
Well, it can also, in a way, be a blessing in disguise. Especially for actors who are in Xu Kai's situation.
Yuzheng uses Xu Kai to place him in bad projects, get his share from Xu Kai's earnings. What if the drama flops? Xu Kai gets less money, and consequently, Yuzheng too gets less money. Although Xu Kai doesn't need to concern with himself about this anymore after he leaves that god-awful company, other actors who are in similar situation might see this as a good news. Their bosses would do their best to place them in good dramas more often than not. Cause, who doesn't love more money? And especially so when it comes to company bosses.
Just my thoughts/assumptions based on my observations.

And as I said, and will be saying in future wrt to all rumours I'll be hearing from C entertainment, take it with a grain of salt.

Can anyone verify?
I can't access Weibo.
I'm not sure if this melon is going around in China tho. So, take it with a grain of salt.
🍉 #XuKai will not be renewing his contract with Huanyu Entertainment upon its expiration.

Again, take it with a grain of salt.
I hope it's true.

🍉 Actors pay for dramas is being adjusted now. A-listers roughly 20% pay cut and non A-listers 20% or more pay cut, though it varies.
They’ll no longer receive their full payment upfront. Final pay will be given after the drama airs and will depend on how well it performs.
I hope he does one soon.
