Yes, there was one clip of him and TJC standing next to each other, both in their armour and the lighting was just perfect! I think we will get a lot of very atmospheric scenes…
I'm trying to remember in the book ... They don't make Cao Jun actually fight, do they?
No, I don’t think so. However given Cao Jun’s martial arts skills, it would be a waste not to make good use of them. Given the character’s background it would be likely for him to have at least some skills.
Lineup Official Announcement Leading role: Xiao Zhan Special guest starring: Wei Daxun, Hu Xianxu Leading actors: Li Zhiting, Li Zefeng, Li Wanda, Qiu Tian, Xing Jiadong, Li Sheng, Zhang Yutong, Liu Jiayu, Mao Xiaohui, Liang Chao Special guests: Lan Xia, Lan Yingying Starring: Wang Yutian, He Yuhe, Li Nuofei Friendly role: Mao Xiaotong
All his next projects are support or guest roles 😭 I need him as lead again asap!
Yes, we all would love that, but quality roles of this type are hard to come by. Especially for someone without any agency support or strong financial backing. However, his role in Blossoms of Power is officially a “special guest star” role (there’s just no category for this on MDL) and. That means that it is not limited to the scope of a normal guest role. He filmed on 54 of the total 124 days of shooting, so it should be a sizable role. He also has a main role in Dancing with the Tide which he is currently filming. None of his recent roles have been support roles (if it is indicated anywhere, it’s simply incorrect).
Update to Deirdre19's post ... that news is now being retracted. The original weibo poster is now saying the assistant…
Yeah, yeah, always blame it on the assistants. They don’t know what they’re doing 😂 My guess is that this news was leaked on purpose to get things moving. It feels unreasonable to expect an actor to sign up for something they haven’t even seen.
Yes. It won’t happen. Reportedly, TJC wanted to see the full script before signing up whereas the production…
I saw Tencent mentioned it in their new rules last year that high-level dramas must have a finished script before the project is approved and actors can be contracted. However, judging by what happened to Yang Yang, they don’t seem to stick to their own rules.
Yes. It won’t happen. Reportedly, TJC wanted to see the full script before signing up whereas the production team only wanted to start writing it after he signed up. So there was no agreement. Hopefully more people will follow Tan Jianci’s example and reject cat-in-the-bag projects, where the script is written while they are already filming. It would vastly improve drama quality!

At least the Chinese title, “800 metre radius “ makes sense.
