Yes, it's iffy... at least he's not a 'brother' like in 'Rise of Ning'😁.

Imagine if he did reincarnate as 'cousin'🤐.

Yeah, it'll be interesting who else joins.
The comments on Douban recc Cheng Yi & Ju Jingyi don't show there is one. But after 1 reincarnation, you're already 70,000 years out in a Xianxia lol.

Ngl, I was shocked when I saw his age, but she does have a good rapport with all of her co-stars. I wonder who else is joining...

LYT in a female-centric drama with 'Bloody Romance' author Miao Wen Jing/Ban Ming Ban Mei💜! I wonder what C. Netz meant when they said that CXH is 'cousin'.

Thx. We have something to watch now lol. I hope they get a TV slot🤞🏻.

Actually, the SOP released to go against the rumoured 26th Oct 'FangsOF' is strange. FOF doesn't have a distribution license... unless the companies know something we don't know.

Re: ZHW, maybe I'm not getting it straight as I get info via translation. To me, what his studio statement said was that a case was being brought for AI fraud and extortion against the people who released the recordings. I read it as the v. recording were all AI fakes? 'JoyOL' also said that he will be in their next instalment too.

I have a feeling they're planning to have BO air later/last, like what another user said. Either late Dec/Jan for Xmas/CNY holidays + a TV slot. As TSY has a unique broad mass appeal, it would work in her favour, though it'll mean more patience🙃...

Yeah, you were lol. It's that messy GuoJM, he did the same when he shot Zuo Ye in the trailer so it looked like WD in 'YinYM'. They actually look diff but both have smooth features + long noses that Gjm seems to like. Don't know if you knew this, both WD & TJR are signed to him. There's been jokes about him getting X who resembles Y, Y resembles Z🤦🏻‍♀️.

I can't get info on this film either. Apart from WD cutting his hair there's no indication of what it's going to look like/ be about...

You are killing me😁. It would've sent me over if TJR was inc. I see you with your 1st 'dream' joke🤭. But I shouldn't be joking as WD's 'Special Starring'. If it's code for 'Guest' I'd need this again🔍...

The idea of dreams, subconscious & reality, I'm into that. Hopefully, there's reuters & the set isn't completely closed off.

TY. The one I originally read it on made it feel sparse. These 2 new ones are a lot better...

I meant 'in the middle of the road' straight, so it can appeal to more audiences. The aesthetics in 'BR' were extreme, you'll either love or hate it. If Dir went that route for TV, I would be surprised, but I would love, love it.

Yes, I didn't expect this. It's grt he's back in the movies. The synopsis looks trippy. Plus, the director is pretty acclaimed. Looking forward to it🌞.

Yes, he's not officially listed for directing. Allegedly he wasn't paid for that role due to their budget, but both Dirs are on the bts. I have a feeling the art direction team is different. So it'll be interesting if he goes the 'straight' route this time for this drama.

I thought of you when I saw the casts 😁.This Dir is pretty acclaimed & has won quite a few awards. Be looking forward to how they do the sci-fi & dream elements.

Dir did a fantasy costume(wuxia) in the past called "Bloody Romance." It was a dark fairy tale, low-budget, and totally unique, even for today. One of my favourite dramas. He was the producer and director there. 

From what I remember when Li Yitong filmed "The Knockout," there were NO Reuters. What we're getting on 'XY' is him being generous lol... They released a wrap trailer 2 months after completion. TBH, the trailer didn't make the drama look interesting. I haven't watched 'KO' but heard it was the acting, pacing, and like 'BR', the characters are grey, so that hit at a deeper level. Apart from some of the costumes/wigs looking a bit dodgy in 'XY', he can definitely do costumes well. 🤞🏻 he delivers this time as well.

Here's a new link from another reader. I haven't used it, but it should be ok. Let me know if it isn't...

Yes, & ethereal. I wish the 'Si Ming' drama would happen, she would be perfect.

Yes, she's good in tortuous roles. She's one of the few actors who can make me cry lol.

Apparently he's a strong person who doesn't take himself seriously (his mukbangs😁). & yes it costs to get out of a contract. Zheng Yecheng & Song Weilong both tried to go to court to end their contracts but still had to stay on until it ends.

I'm hoping all backlog works just start airing so there's more exposure, hence more opps. Like what happened with Liu Xueyi. He was kept back for some reason within his agency HR Century. But after 1 hit he's been working outside on better projects now.

Yess, he uses traffic as the MLs. Gjm has more leverage after "MyJ2U" was a hit for IQYI & their artist Cheng Lei. TJR & SunJC are now MLs. IQYI (& other platforms) want to get their artists into his projects (FangsOF/ CDL, & Painted Skin/ Zeng Shunxi ).

Recently some of ZhangBB fans came for WD after they got upset over the promo clip of him and SZN. They started spreading rumours, including gjm ones. They demanded production release materials of him solo in the future. ZUI was nowhere to be seen. So future promos might not feature him much if production caves in... 

ZUI is gjm's company. Most of WD's fans think there's already a split. The 4 artists attended the Wenrong Awards last year. ZUI posted pics of just the 3. The same when "The Blossoming Love" wrapped, they posted SunJC, who guest starred but not WD. So I'm not sure what's going on here🤔.
