Yes, I think until 27th, when first part ends, no TLP. Weekend is not a bad place to start so that is July 30th. I hope at least!

Ah, congratulations to your sister, that's a big milestone in life, all the best to her 😁

Looking at the dates, it fits with the first part of LLG being done. That's end of July so they could start then. I am hoping it will, chatter around Chinese socials is still the same too, end of July. We can only hope.

They are not. The July 10th is an endorsement 🤧🤧🤧
I doubt the 11th for TLP is true. I don't think it will come before 25th.

I have been trying to calculate the same thing myself, don't worry 🤣

I think there is still a possibility that TLP will air in late July. That is still what is being presented to investors. Logically speaking, Tencent will want to hit the best time of summer vacation for TLP. That is their biggest investment so that's what they should want to protect (I say should because you can never be certain of anything in China).

I am really confused at some of the comments here about BBH.

It's true she is not at the top of the game right now because of that thing but she is really well known.

I don't know if it's because she is primarily a movie actress so many people here don't know her or what but once upon a time in China, her name stood with that of Fan Bingbing and that top cream of acting.

She is a huge box office draw, is a really good actress, has done serious material and most importantly, she is not a traffic star.

One of the most important things for Xiao Zhan when it comes to his transformation is that he acts with people like this.

Plus the director and script writer combination is top notch. Many stars have been licking this cake. Some comments here are a bit more than strange.
(Sorry, am replying to just you because MDL is being really weird)

This is just the schedule for LLG. It came up on Chinese socials yesterday. They are speeding up the release it seems so first week 18 EPs and then usual weekly.

Tencent has been a bit strange with releases, look what they did with MHL. But I don't personally care honestly, I have no plans to watch LLG, I just want TLP.

Depends. If they air 18 episodes just in the first week as seems to be the plan, it will go much quicker.

Let's put it this way, please stop. Or at least skip me. Western arrogance sure is hella of a drug.

Let me give you a tiny bit advice before I leave and we call it quits here. First, you never know who you are talking to here. Don't lecture unless someone asks you a question. Second, what makes you think I am xfx or care about some nebulous xfx collectivism? Third, China's sns is buzzing about this and everyone is chatting, xfx and others.

TL;Dr you don't get to tell me what to do and least of all in that patronising tone. This is not a xz fan page, this is a drama site.

Have a nice day 👋

And you are explaining this to me, why?

Because nothing I said contradicts that and yes, believe it or not I know and I don't need a useless, patronising lecture.

Yes, there is no official announcement. The drama was registered two years ago. It has a TV and a web licence (opposite of this The Longest Promise only has a web one, it cannot be shown on TV) but even though they registered it so long ago, it hasn't started filming yet.

The melon says that they should join the crew (start filming) in August so if true, it would air next year. Xinli has very good modern dramas and as I told you, this crew in particular is very good. Bai Baihe used to be a leading actress in China but there was a glitch in her career, she is coming back now. She is a good actress and has actually already been in a movie with XZ, a long time ago in Monster Hunt 2, 2018. His appearance was tiny but it's a nice anecdote.

We will know if this is true soon enough.

This particular news is sort of not new. This show was registered about two years ago. Through that time the ML was always rumored to be XZ but the FL has changed throughout the years. This is the fourth actress associated with it, if I remember right.

I actually think it is possible it is real. We have to wait though. If true, this is an amazing crew. Both the director and the screenwriter are fantastic.

They can air at the same time without any issues if Tencent decides to start airing LLG at the beginning of July. It certainly looks like they will but China 🤷

TLP is too huge of an investment to miss out on the golden window of Chinese summer vacation (not summer, per se). The only thing that could stop them would be final trial issues but that's a risk with any Chinese show. The investment chaos over TLP and some other things I will skip here are pretty good indicators that it's coming, barring unforeseen circumstances.

No. Both of those, together, do not even reach what Xiao Zhan alone brings.

I repeat, Tencent is not going to prioritize LLG to TLP.

No, it is not.

It doesn't matter. Even if it does air, which actually isn't a sure thing, they can start airing TLP during LLG's run.

They are not going to prioritize LLG over TLP 🤷

They are having a few issues right now, some netizens have been raising a fuss and reporting the drama. I am not sure what will happen.

Yes, that's the leak 😁 It's from the data for attracting investments for dramas that are going to air so it is a safe one. Plus it went up on the general hot search which is different.

40 episodes
Tentative date in July

This came from a reliable place so here we come (the info is about all platform dramas but we need this here). It's on weibo hot search too.

No problem! But definitely prepare yourself because there is a lot of heartache in this story. They said they made the show worse than the book so keep handkerchiefs close and grit your teeth 💪

No, it's not a sad ending, it's a happy ending. But everything has a price. In the end, that makes things they have all the more valuable.
