Good to know that marketing since the beginning does not always help. Lmao I’ve been using weibo these days I guess I’m becoming one of their braindeads 😭😭

He doesn’t have other rumors as of now. So it should be this one. If he’s joining a crew, usually there are rumors circulating around a month prior, which so far is only this. So this should be it.

Yikes. XK doesn’t chase clout so good for BL. If it’s someone like Esther, BL is done for

Yeahhhhhh. I have weibo and C-fans are demanding the production to post the official blog coz costume dramas requires marketing from the get-go. Hopefully they get things done fast

Do you think FI will air in spring? I really really wanna see it .

The only consistent rumor has been about the cast which is xk and zy. Everything else keeps changing. The network was initially youku, then mango, then both, then tencent, then back to youku or mango and now iqiyi. The rumor started coz yang long followed both xk and zy on weibo and now he’s no longer the director. It’s supposed to start next week. XK said in an interview that he will join a crew this week? Can someone tell me why it’s so uncertain and feel rushy when it’s about to start?

Why is the new drama completely confidential? A lot of people know it’s yi ou chun. Is it not the next project?

Yeah, c-fans are having a stroke on Weibo about it, saying they have cut main lead parts and added side plots which hopefully is untrue. I wish they stick to 34-36 epsand they haven’t passed review yet so fingers crossed

From what I heard, XK now has the independence to chose his scripts after contract renewal. But I also saw a post today on XHS that he has filed a lawsuit for contract termination and I don’t know if it’s just some hoax. Either way people were saying he was excited about the script but they are all marketing accounts on Weibo and xhs. Zhou Ye has been pressured to accept this script for more than 8 months. Also they say it starts on April 2, but still there’s no confirmation about the cast, crew, platform etc it’s just rumors. I don’t know what’s going on.

I heard the screenwriter is Li Qiang and he has good reviewed dramas on Douban . Hopefully he does a good job.

That’s what it said in the Hong Kong film festival, but it is yet to pass reviews so we don’t know yet. Apparently this show was filmed to have 34-38 episodes, so 39 isn’t too bad. Let’s just hope, if it is 39, then it’s for the plot to be actually better and not for fillers.

Same, it’s not the same experience for non-mandarin speakers to watch a dubbed drama

Okay thank you for the update. Someone said his mandarin pronunciation may be good for modern but not yet for costume. And I saw fans complaining to the production for not letting him dub in MR, which I also support but we can’t help. Fingers cross he will use his voice for the next one.

FI is the one I’m looking forward to the most but since it’s a crime drama involving government agencies (police and fire department) they are gonna be super quite post wrapping up filming. Modern dramas are expected to air quickly compared to costume ones. Like first frost took 7-8 months. But fire investigator had fire scenes so they might take longer for production. Also MR is expected to air in June. For FI to air before June is unlikely even though I wanna see it sooner, coz there should at least be a rumor about it by now if it is to air before June. So FI will be later than July, or maybe August- October window IN MY OPINION.

Ahh got it. Gosh that’s annoying.

The rumors for BL drama according to her fans are earliest July . Don’t know about the accuracy but I just want Xu Kai to have a peaceful drama release. Good thing is that in a lot of the posts comparing the three, most people prefer MR coz it’s a unique genre unlike the (according to cnetz) overdone Xianxia (aka BL drama) . Also people like the colors, makeup, plot, production so it’s a good drama. I just want it to have good publicity and be a good hit without smear from others. Also does anyone know what happened with WOL and SOKP?

Oh my god. What happened between Wol and Sokp. I’m a new fan.

Rumors on weibo and xhs are for June. This was also rumored for July earlier and if so this will most likely compete with youku’s offering salted fish with Arthur Chen and Iqiyi’s Bailu, Joseph Zeng drama. So it sounds like a tight competition and I hope they won’t air at the same time or less the black marketing will be nonstop. Either it sounds like it will air right around Chinese summer vacation which is June/July - August.

Happy Birthday Xu Kai 🎉🎉🎉. May all the dramas be super successful and broadcast smoothly. May all your haters suffer and all your supporters thrive. Wish you good health, happiness and importantly WEALTH.

Rumors on Xiaohongshu- possible air date is June, July.
