CCTV has exclusive rights so it will depend a lot on them.
iQiyi will broadcast on the web (Tencent too because iQiyi traded that option to be allowed to show TLP on their international app but nobody cares about them thanks to TLP) and they are in need of a real hit. They will still have to coordinate with CCTV due to priority.
Now I am not sure what that will mean because for WDB CCTV didn't do any promotion but the trailer existed. So if I am to guess, something will be released, probably a trailer. More than that, I can't tell.
I'm a little worried because they've already started defaming him again. They even created two posts that have…
Stuff like that happens all the time, it has never stopped, it's just that the international fans often don't see it. Just ignore it, there is nothing international fans can do and Chinese know the drill. It's going to be ok.
This is what I didn't want to mention before but the melon is spreading fast so might as well now. CCTV and iQiyi…
Forget TC, these rule great projects aren't going to them. They can keep their web dramas.
Chances of him working for an independent Tencent project are non existent. They may do web distribution for one of his dramas in the future but that will be like WDB, where they had no control over the broadcast and didn't dare suppress him. Hopefully there won't be many of those either, at least with the current management.

Its an extremely important emperor, he founded the Eastern Han Dynasty and by the end of his reign, consolidated the whole of China. Very interesting historical figure on many, many accounts and this would be the first drama dedicated to him.
It's an amazing opportunity, whoever gets it and of course I want it for xz š I first heard of this months ago but then it got stronger recently and now it's chaos on Chinese sns because every single actor is trying to get himself cast. But the name associated with the second part is his.

CCTV and iQiyi are going to be making a two parter series, a Han Dynasty Epic. First part is about Emperor Wu and the second about Liu Xiu, emperor Guangwu. This second part is where Xiao Zhan's name comes in. It has been brewing for quite a while but the rumors are everywhere now. As always consume with caution! This one is absolutely not certain. But this is an excellent cake.
Of course we will. Tsui Hark movies are regularly shown around the world, this one won't be an exception.
As far as I know and so far most of this info has been reliable they are planning a global, international release. So I would imagine you will get to see it š¤š¤
What a strange experience, watching this drama. The characterisations of both Meng siblings are pretty complex, as well as their situation (especially the complex nature of adoption in this setting) and it is pleasantly surprising to see. Both Wang Churan and especially Wei Daxun played them well. Song Yan is pretty straightforward and a good foil for these two. There is so much gray in this show surrounding this family and that is rare these days in cent. YCY gives probably her best performance as SY'sister and I loved her character. Overall this part was very satisfying.
What wasn't was the false rape accusation. It's truly a choice to go with that, in a country where Kris Wu walked unchecked for years and scored court victories and where 40% of women have experienced sexual assault. Where at best 1 in 10 rapes are reported, men walk with no consequences, the laws are still far from satisfactory and the social stigma huge. But yes, let's perpetuate the women accuse wealthy men of rape trope. I cannot with that. Especially because its inclusion in the story was totally unnecessary.
Second was the family of the FL. The mother but also the father. The criminal acts the mother committed and the way she treated these children but the father isn't any less guilty either and I feel like most of the spotlight was on her. But he could have stopped her at any time and he looked the other way (which he actually admits in 38). And then that ending? Ah yes, let's be filial, right? Much like in Road Home where an abusive, toxic alcoholic is absolved within seconds of his decades of abuse, we have another finger snap and all is well. Her mother loves her, she did it for her own good. Lol no.
It feels like this drama is so very close to being really good but that makes the fail sting even more. I am not going to rate it because I am so torn between the very good and the very bad so I will abstain. My recommendation is still to watch it.
Here's a good primer: https://strictlybromance.com/grave-robbers-chronicles-overview/Honestly, this production…
That's because what is written here in the synopsis isn't what the drama is about. For one, Xu Lei has nothing to do with this production, he has been cut out. Two, the script is going to be original about WZH and his quest to avenge his murdered family. The details are still a bit vague but he will progress from a simple adviser to member of the Imperial cabinet. There is a lot of court intrigue and uncovering a bigger conspiracy that is related to his revenge. Douban also has him being an architect but I don't know how that ties into the rest.
