Yes, I mentioned that below but the word of Chen Yanxi came after, once the filming with Wallace Chung was in full swing.

It's difficult to be sure on these leaks, especially as many want to be in the drama but so far, neither woman was actually caught on the set so we have to wait and see which one it really is. Or someone third 😂

March 10th marks 100 years from Jin Yong's birth. It is going to be celebrated in China so maybe we might get something 🤞

Added photos of Wallace Chung, Yu Nan and Zheng Xiaolong directing Xiao Zhan and Zhou Qi.

The latter especially considering one of the favorite line of attack on this drama is that ZXL isn't actually directing.

There is talk that Zanghai's mother is Chen Yanxi actually but still no confirmation.

I have it somewhere but I will have to go look if I can find it as I don't remember. Plus it's always such fun to get anything changed here 😂

More casting melons, most likely correct.

Mao Xiaotong - Zang Hai's mother
Bai Bing - Zang Hai's mentor

There are more actors that haven't been announced yet, aside from these two. It's less certain so I am not posting the names.

Wallace Chung filmed today so it's basically confirmation of what we said before, that he is playing Zanghai's father.

No, it doesn't though? This is not about Yang Guo. It is about Guo Jing and events in Mongolia and first defence of Xiangyang.

The movie has nothing to do with Tencent, apart from wanting to leech from it.

This is a major China Film Group production.

The drama is irrelevant to this movie. Unlike the other way around.

Most likely summer though there is an option in May.

End of 2024 earliest.

Probably too late now, though of course, you never know. But May or summer look likely now.

EDIT: yeah, so either May or summer. Probably summer.

For LOCH try the 2017 one. The older ones may be too old to find and I am not sure about the subtitles.

Sent 😊

Yes, it does have romance but it's not the focus of it.

This is not even remotely accurate?

The most anticipated one is Joy of Life 2.
Where is Legend of Zanghai? It beats any of the above. Judge Dee is also highly anticipated. But you included For Her that doesn't even have a cast?!

My Boss is already over 😂

No problem! 😀

There was a new leak a few days ago that came from a usually correct source to confirm it so most now accept it as true. I guess this is why the blog published it too.

None. Just the one article that had China Film CEO say it's this year but we already knew that. There are no leaks, no melons, nothing. Very frustrating.

The important thing is that it arrived, speed is irrelevant 😀 I am sad he won't be acting with XZ but it's great he is there to enhance the drama.
