@baifan, I think you're right, to get more popularity, he shouldn't reject that genre. I would argue if he were…
A main role in a serious dramas with veteran actors is something post-95 actors like xu kai would die for. He worked 10 years doing romantic dramas despite mistreatment, polishing his skills, building connections in the industry to take on a serious role. I will be blunt with you, ancient costume romances and modern romance dramas often link actors with tags like "traffic, no acting skills, money grabbers" etc which are negative, and only acting in rom-coms when he's 30s only means that he's just an unserious, traffic-actor who will only have a short career path. How hard it is for one actor to star in a serious drama is beyond our imagination. If he gets more offers, of course he'll do more serious dramas. And most importantly, chinese industry does not care about the international audience when it comes to everything. YES, they have more and more platforms like wetv, netflix, disney etc. But its just an extra way of money grabbing. Recognition in china is 1000000x more important than international recognition. Because thats where the real money and career is. Meaning awards, scripts, endorsements, connections. And for them, you not only need to act in serious dramas, you should show your potential through it. I dont know where you got the information that 800 did not do well in china. 800 was able to cement tencent x-theatre's position as a great crime theatre, did really well on tencent charts and did really really well on Jiangsu TV ( Jiangsu TV came up on the top 10 list due to 800, a position they could not get for a while). CVB literally praised 800 as a well performer on TV. All in all 800 was just the first step. And hopefully he will do more serious dramas. And he will surely do romantic dramas. He has been stuck with romances for 10 years and finally he got the perfect role we wanted and now yall are crying
Xu Kai becomes the first post-95 actor to reach 30 billion cumulative views on Yunhe (this counts only main roles (MR, BCE), not support roles like Yanxi, UL)
MDL is playing deaf. But u are right. People are so good at writing and analysing small details, which makes me feel like im only seeing things at the surface level. I think most weibo long praises are from professional movie critiques- hence the beautiful writing and critical analysis. Reminds me of my school days when i was forced to write long essays for literature. But these people are truly passionate of writing and appreciating quality dramas
no, yu zheng defo won't give him a good project. If xk receives a good script, that'll be from his own effort. Since its a crucial period, we can only wait patiently. Kai and fans have been tolerating this treatment for almost 10 years. Fingers crossed it will come to an end
if he starts in may, then he'll be able to finish before august. But no one knows what's up with contracts. We should accept and support him whether he decides to renew it or not
Either he has not decided yet, or they are keeping it under wraps. Right now everyone is focusing on 800. They will release the May schedule tomorrow and if that says he will start filming in May, then we will know. If not, then we will have to wait
Based on sample size just now (it changes by the minute). I hope it can stay above 7. People give 1 star for reasons…
so for the final score, they take every score into account right? I saw 3000 something short reviews so that means overall there are more people who have rated the show?
