Your explanation makes the most sense. Any change must be approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Republic of China. I saw this table already in March, so I wrote earlier that "The Wolf" got the green light in the first quarter. I was surprised by the official information that they reduced the number of episodes to 48, but I completely forgot that they have to go through the whole procedure again, which lasts 60 days.

Earlier, there was talk about limiting the number of episodes to 40 for dramas to be found on television, while both "cicadas" have just about 48 and (if I'm not mistaken) they were shown on television. It seems to me that these dramas that were shot in 2017 are treated more gently and the limit is up to 50. Therefore, "The Wolf" could once again reduce the number of episodes. I will not guess which TV station will broadcast "The Wolf", but I think Hunan and Shanghai (especially Shanghai, for known reasons) may be tempted by it. CCTV may also fancy this series.

Your explanation really makes sense, and reading it I thought, "Well, how could I forget about it?" Thanks!

I loved him in "From Surviver to Healer"! He is one of those actors who can really play.
I agree, the epidemic has definitely helped "defrost" some dramas. Who knows how many interesting titles we don't know or don't remember can be found in the 2017 bag? It can be a bit exciting :)

So can we agree on June 28? Ha, I don't even know what day of the week it will be: /

Well, I have to worry about you. Every XZ Gege fan is my meimei (or jiejie) :)

You know what - everyone who reads this statement - do you have any idea how many dramas from 2017 are just premiered? Good dramas that have huge viewership? Lots of them. Seriously. Not only "The Wolf" has been on the shelf for years and has undergone corrections. Really great drama (and also the weaker ones), awaited with no less passion than "The Wolf". None of them interest me, but I've heard about them for years.
I think - although I have no proof - that the reason may have been the confusion about new regulations that we call censorship. Many dramas were already shot when regulations came in. It is difficult to redo the entire series and adapt to new requirements. So maybe they discussed what to do with those pre-regulatory series that didn't meet the requirements? Maybe they discussed, negotiated and finally agreed that these older drama would be able to have less restrictions than new ones? Someone finally gave the green light (maybe the director changed) and the drama spilled out like a sack of presents. A lot of highly anticipated dramas, which causes a lot of competition. Not all of them can be displayed at once.
And now my observation (based on several years of observation) - the best time to broadcast a drama is summer. I have no idea when summer begins in China (according to the moon calendar) but I would not be surprised if "The Wolf" premiered around June 27.

Ok, we're talking in a public forum, so please explain to me and everyone who wants to read our conversation, what did I say that you started hating XZ? If I made a mistake that I don't see, please show him to me and I will try to fix it.
Maybe there was a problem in communication? Any misunderstanding? Because you see, it is clear from your statements that no one cares, you rely solely on rumors and you are able to hate someone you don't know, for no reason.
Well, if I don't get an explanation from you that I can understand, this will be my last post in this conversation because we can't reach an agreement. Nobody pays me for hearing insults under my or other people's direction.
By the way, it doesn't matter if it's XZ, Darren, Li Qin or any of the cast. None of the actors has any influence on the date of the drama. The official release date for May was never given, it was only our speculation and wishes. But if no arguments convince you, live happily in your own world, just please do not force us to read your fantasies full of hatred towards innocent people.

Just because you're not a fan and you don't care about someone doesn't mean you are allowed to speak badly about that person. There are many actors and actresses that I don't care about. There are many that I don't like very much. But just because I do not like somebody does not mean that I can enter the series forum where this actor plays and without hesitation to spread malicious rumors about him. This is a sign of disrespect for the actor himself and his fans.
I don't know who told you what about The Wolf, but you blame XZ without proof and you don't even have a logical argument to support your accusations. That's the haters' behavior. The argument "because I think so" is not an argument.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but if you express such opinions in public, you need to be aware of the consequences. Don't expect people to mindlessly applaud your "because you think so" because "you have the right to write what you want" without paying attention to the truth and feelings of others.

All of these "The Wolf" approaches are marketing to attract viewers. You go to their sites several times a day and advertisers are happy. People leave comments asking for "The Wolf" - advertisers are happy. If it works, they can go on forever. This is the power of money.

At 98% "The Wolf" will start without an official release date. Not he first, not he last. Personally, I really need this drama, like air, but what to do?

Alice Wang, out of concern for your health, I suggest that you take a deep breath and stop believing in what platforms write on their websites. You won't speed up the premiere worrying about its date. I won't even believe it when I see the date. It is only when I see the first episode that I believe I can see it. Do not stress yourself with something that you have no influence on.

Don't cite freedom of speech when committing the crime of slander. People like you have tried this since the beginning of March and now face criminal court.
Freedom of expression does not apply in the event of libel or other acts intended to damage the image or work of another person.
"who the bell r u"? I'm someone who eats haters like you for breakfast. Enjoy that you are not a citizen of my country because I would eat you with one lawsuit.
People like you shouting for freedom of speech when they falsely accuse the innocent are making the web become a stinking swamp full of haters. Just like you and your "freedom of speech" causes confusion in show business, not innocent actors.
If anyone was curious what haters looked like during 227 - you are their best example.

You really have nothing to worry about. I follow XZ eleven months and as in March I could not sleep with anxiety, since mid-April I have not had this problem. XZ does not release new material, but anyone who can release old - reprints of his article, interviews, photos. Almost every day, the official media write something good about him. "Remaining Years" and "Wuji" have been fighting for the first place of the best song of 2019. "Song of Red Plum" has not been out of the top list for fifty days. "Spotlight" in four days sold 100 million copies to break the annual sales record. Wherever XZ appears, whatever it touches, it sells at record speed and quantities. People miss him so much that when they heard a few words he said on the radio (it was new), they cried out with happiness.
yes, during this interview he looked very stressed and my heart was bursting with pain, but he proved to everyone how strong he was and that his haters would not break him. This interview was very well received and since then no hate action has done him any harm, because ordinary citizens have reviewed their lies and no longer believe a word of hate.
XZ is very low-key, but he has always been quiet and shy, so fans have already got used to it.
Oh, and one more thing. In live streaming on the occasion of the charity collection on Hubei XZ, although intimidated (as always) he was radiantly smiling and viewership, although no one knew that he would appear in this program, quickly reached the size that the servers almost went out.
Fans agreed not to discuss his work until it appears, so there is not much news. We have some suspicions, but we don't want the haters to rush at his work again, so let's be silent. Silence does not mean that he is hurt. On the contrary :)
And yes, his popularity on the lists is not weakening. He wins 6-9 first places weekly.

There is no reason to delay his work. Haters overestimate their importance. A few more pranks on Weibo and more people will receive lawsuits. Haters may not be aware, but what they do is a criminal offense and for them it will not end with an apology - they will go behind bars.
So no worries, no XZ drama is delayed. Everything is going according to plan :) I know, because already in 2019, well before the haters' attack, the planned release dates of his series were given. None of them have come yet.

Don't be so negative. I don't know where you got your information from, but XZ's market value dropped only for a moment. Capital did not abandon him at all and, concluding by popularity records that his songs beat and by the index of expectations for his drama, the black days of XZ have already passed. It is true that MDL also has people who want to make people stop supporting him and haters never disappear, but XZ is not as poor and abandoned as some are trying to convince us. Don't be fooled by the "pessimism" action that haters have recently liked so much. Even today CCTV8 on the occasion of children's day showed on its website a charming photo of a small XZ :)

If you make accusations, please provide proof, otherwise it's slander. This is not your first hater-like statement in relation to XZ.
One question - since XZ is to blame for the delay, because a bunch of haters got stuck on him since the end of February, please explain why "The Wolf" didn't premiere before February 2020? Also because of XZ?
Please, think before you start posting hate comments in public.

Impressive! But animal rights activists can raise the alarm. I am alarmed myself, and I'm not from the Greens. I watched this fragment several times and I know that nothing happened to anyone, but it still seems very dangerous to health fun.
Seriously, this photo plan is no kidding. If the drama has the quality of this passage, it will be one of the best-shot c-dram I've ever seen.

I look forward to this drama. I tried to look at the original, but didn't get through the first episodes. I hope it will be different this time. The story sounds interesting and since I watched "XFire" I have a sentiment for Bai Shu and I'm glad to see him in the lead role in potentially good drama. I hope that the premiere will be soon.

For me, this drama is a small nightmare. Either you're doing a sweet romance or an atmospheric psychological thriller. If you want to combine both conventions, do it smoothly, as in the first two episodes, where the drama had the atmosphere of northern romanticism just like from "Wuthering Hills". At the moment I have chocolate, curry, biscuits with cream and salted fish in one pot. I can eat each of these ingredients, but not together.

There is information on Weibo when the post has been posted. You can easily check when XZ places his own. Whether it is often or not, it is a relative concept.

Actually, nobody knows what XZ is doing. His work is protected as if it were a state secret :)

This info is very reliable to me. ? Bloody scenes are not permited in tv.

On May 20 they got a distribution license. The drama can hit the premiere!
There is no release date yet. Drama is in the course of trade negotiations, but the pace at which they go indicates that we will not have to wait until August: D
