Streaming platforms and production companies/main distributors such as Tencent Video, iQIYI, Youku, and MangoTV do not announce release dates a month in advance. Instead, they usually reveal them just a week or even a day before the premiere.
For high-budget dramas, streaming platforms take the lead by launching pre-broadcast investment promotions first. This stage focuses on attracting investors and advertisers before the drama officially airs.
Once everything is finalized, the platforms enter the pre-heating phase. During this stage, they release promotional materials daily on the drama’s official Weibo and Douyin accounts. These frequent updates serve as hints that the release date announcement is approaching.
since hi6 was filmed with them, do we have a release date yet?
What do you mean by release date—are you referring to the drama or to when the Hi6 episode will air?
If it’s about Hi6, it will depend on MangoTV and HunanTV. Before they recorded, many other guests had already filmed their episodes, so there is definitely a lineup that determines when the Hi6 episode will be broadcast.
As for the release date, no official announcement has been made yet. It is still tentative and expected to air next month.
Dec 4? But how the release date already appear here? As i check on official Weibo accounts of sniper butterfly and Tencent Video they still don't have any announcement about that or confirming the release date.
Is Zhao Lusi’s agency under Huijing Digital Media & Entertainment Group (known as Orca)? Since that company manages the platform Youku and its parent company is Alibaba, does this mean Zhao Lusi is an exclusive Youku artist, or can she still take projects from other platforms in the future?
I know Zhao Lusi cannot take on any projects for now, but in the future, will she be an exclusive artist for Youku, or will she still be able to accept projects from other platforms?
Waiting ever so patiently for this and When I Meet The Moon.
iQIYI already gave a tentative schedule for when i meet the moon during it's iQIYI Conference few months ago. iQIYI said it's tentative schedule is Q3 2026.
I think someone few months already commented that on MDL page of when i meet the moon, you can check it as well.
what's the relationship of the leads with HL or FF ?
The main leads here are Sang Yan and Wen Yifan’s senior.
The male lead here in when i meet the moon (Fu Shize) has a nephew who is in the same grade as Sang Zhi. He has a crush on her and confesses during his birthday (You might remember that scene when someone confessed to Sang Zhi — that character is Fu Zheng Chu, played by Zhang Jiongmin in Hidden Love.)
His uncle is Fu Shize (male lead in When I Meet the Moon).
For now, all we can do is wait for the official announcement from Xixi Pictures and Tencent Video.
So now, it likely to be on finalization stage of release date and preparing for promotional materials.

The drama is still currently in editing stage and they still need to submit an application for censorship review and obtaining a distribution license.
I know Zhao Lusi cannot take on any projects for now, but in the future, will she be an exclusive artist for Youku, or will she still be able to accept projects from other platforms?
Thanks to anyone who can provide an answer.

Zhu Yu is a dual-platform drama, so both platforms must have an available schedule within Q1 2026.
All we can do now is wait for the official announcement from dual platform (Tencent Video and iQIYI).
Tencent Video and iQIYI are the only one who will confirmed the release date.
For now, all we can do is wait for the official announcement from Xixi Pictures and Tencent Video.
