Youku has it tentatively scheduled for 2025 and it's probably realistic considering we are a day away from June.
It's not just post production, it's that after that the drama has to pass the review in order to get the broadcasting licence. That will go faster if it is really scheduled for CCTV but still I would be surprised if it showed up before the spring festival at least (very end of January).
That's right. I can upload the few photos I have but really, it's just a big table with snacks, nothing much to see. Hopefully there will be a few cast photos later. ETA Ok, actually XZ wrapped up so there were presens, full one tomorrow..
I love Kong Sheng's style of filmmaking, in fact I feel he's more suited to this kind of genre (Minning Town,…
Mining Town is incredible but overall his work is just outstanding. Considering that DL is so invested in this, it's around ten years in planning and that their biggest names are on the roster, it really is a coup to get it. No wonder things have been wild in China 😂
It is absolute madhouse currently in China because certain people have been trying hard to start fan wars and in general to damage this drama. They are even buying BHS (don't worry, cxfx took care of it) so please just ignore anything that is connected to it and that sounds negative - it's usually about stealing screen time and highlights. No need to bring any of that here, just ignore it. It's bait.
It will pass once this wraps up, XZ's next movie is a hot commodity so that is making matters worse now. Happens every time to XZ dramas. Hang in there. Don't get provoked.
delete or remove the link at least, this is obviously an anti post. let's keep this comment section as healthy…
Chinese drama world is extremely complicated.
There will be people who aren't related to the drama, that want the drama to fail. So they will push rumors to cause trouble. One of the simplest ways is to cause fan wars among the drama cast but believe me, there are much more complicated schemes.
Even if you are Chinese, if you don't know the situation and in general, don't have experience, you will easily be caught in their traps. My advice is to avoid Weibo at least at the start until you can find someone to guide you through. It doesn't sound fun I know but better safe than sorry.
Of course there are many people here willing to talk to you about the drama!
This is an anti post, meant to cause fan wars because it talks about Xiao Zhan scenes and his highlights being taken away from him and given to Zhang Jingyi.
Some smaller roles have already finished, rumors say it should wrap up around the 25th.
Lots of dates in play, you can basically take your pick from 25th of May to June 6th. Honestly I don't think they are actually extending the wrap up, it's just that the melon masters don't have precise information and are more guessing because they know it's happening around that time.
XZ new movie is said to be getting an announcement soonish, and that will only happen after this has wrapped up so it won't be long now. Probably a week or ten days, especially as some roles are already done.
Huang Jue wrapped today. It's a good indicator they are on track for around the ~25th. I don't think it will be much longer. Pray for a trailer on wrap up!

Wrap up party in progress, we made it everyone! Now, we wait.
But his movie Legends of the Condor Heroes is probably coming this July.
He said that it will be complicated and challenging and that the movie is intricate and difficult to film. The plot and characters are unexpected.
The announcement should probably be in about two weeks, with the boot towards the end of June.
