i read somewhere that the 40-episode limit isn't a hard limit/was abolished but you need to submit your script for review if the show actually warrants 40+ episodes 🤔

(edit) yeah https://wlst.org.cn/newsinfo/8697018.html this article from august 2025 mentions it:
01. Number of episodes: The 40-episode cap is no longer a "one-size-fits-all" rule.
• In principle, the number of episodes will still be limited to 40.
• If a series truly needs to exceed 40 episodes, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television must conduct a special review of the entire script and file it for record-keeping to strictly prevent "padded dramas".

we're finally getting official doll materials tomorrow yaaaaay

new info from a recent article about dudu’s currently filming drama 👀✨

1. china’s first “infinite flow + dark fairytale” series
2. the visual contrast between “real-world ruins x virtual game” creates suspense, with a film-grade VFX team
3. a fresh and appealing female lead character design—de-emphasising the romance plotline while emphasising strategic puzzle-solving intelligence + “yandere villainess” + apocalyptic survival elements, aligning with current market preferences

dudu acted as the personification of a tang dynasty vase at the 2026 china internet audio-visual gala! ni ping narrated a story about "the guardians of the forbidden city" and the conservation, reservation, and restoration of china's cultural relics

🥹 my favourite snippet...

"looking back on her ten years in the industry, chen duling says: “i’m grateful to myself for persevering.” she once worried that her voice wasn’t “gentle” enough, and doubted herself during periods of stagnation, but ultimately discovered that what truly mattered was believing in herself: “it turns out that this kind of voice is also a distinctive trait.”"

translation of dudu's article in global people magazine (it's one of china's largest and most influential news magazines, and it's so cool that she was featured in it!!!)
