You see, your opinion may also be perceived by some as inappropriate, as narrow-minded. I know you have no bad intentions, but at one point you sounded like you were negatively generalizing Darren fans. "The Wolf" because of a certain bet between corporations must be broadcast this year to make money. The popularity of XZ has rather more effect on the price for the episode and, paradoxically, it could delay the broadcast of the drama to negotiate a higher price. It's just a theory, but just as good as the popularity of XZ has accelerated its premiere. None of us knows the facts, only rumors. The fact is that XZ will attract a huge audience, but I'm afraid that too zealous fans will actually diminish the importance of other actors. After all, we went through it in "Our Song", where the standard comments under each episode were: "XZ you are the best". Fans blinded by love couldn't appreciate the other participants who were really great. In "JoL" XZ had a small role, and all comments were like "XZ you are the best!". This arrogance has caused xfx to meet with the nothingity of other fan clubs, and I'm afraid the situation will happen again. Yes, we know that Darren is a friend of XZ, I respect him as a man and actor and I will be happy to see him on the screen, but there are many fans who really see only XZ, think that he is the only wonder of this world. Well, for fans of another actor, that actor is a real miracle. Therefore, statements like "be grateful to our idol, because thanks to him you can see this drama" are at least provocative and a little out of place. After all, we don't really know the facts, we don't know what drives the date of the TV broadcast, some drama, whether it is the heads of fans or corporate policy. And after the 227 incident, XZ fans must be three times more cautious about what words they use so as not to provoke others. Sometimes one thoughtless sentence can lead to war. That is why I appeal to all fans of every actor with restraint and mutual respect. Let's not look for merit and don't point out any offenses. Let's just happily wait for the premiere, which is to appear in May :)

I agree, the actor playing YBY can be changed without harming the story (only that the drama will lose a certain group of viewers, although on the other hand his substitute can bring his own group of fans). Drama for me was ok, I love XZ, but if they go separate ways - I don't mind. I understand what you are worried about. However, we have two interesting points here. 1 - XZ from the beginning has signed a contract for three seasons "JoL". He may terminate the contract and pay the penalty, but he will not, because it is in line with his professional ethics. Maybe the heart of the fan speaks through me, but XZ honors old contracts, even if he got very little money for it (as for "JoL"). Besides, the director "JoL" was his acting teacher, so XZ respects him too much to make problems. 2 - I do not know what their first contract looked like, but if it actually increases the airtime of the characters in relation to what they planned, they should actually pay the actor extra. I don't know how XZ rates have increased, but let's face it, he attracts capital. It is worth paying more and keeping him, because this money will pay more than once. XZ just has his 5 minutes of fame, in a year it can be someone else. I think YBY may grow to the rank of male No. 2. I don't know if the XZ agency will be happy about it, but if XZ decides to keep the contract, they will have a problem to make him do something else. XZ has far-reaching freedom in choosing his projects and if he finds something unethical (e.g. breaking counterattack, so that the company earns more), he simply will not agree. XZ is stubborn as a mule and has a great sense of gratitude and loyalty. If "JoL 2" wants to involve him, he will do anything to maintain this role. He owes a production that gave him a chance when he was nobody and fans. I think they didn't announce the actor playing YBY because of incident 227. I don't know if you've seen the latest XZ interview, this actor really went through hell and may be afraid to talk about his work ahead of time. Both singles and interview were made public without notice, his performance on BTV was announced 4 minutes before broadcast on tv. If XZ plays "JoL2", before the shooting begins, haters will destroy this drama. This is totally unfair to the drama and actor. If he doesn't play s 2, there will also be problems. That is why no one talks about his participation in this project. I don't know how the creators of "JoL" will solve the YBY problem. I trust their decision and XZ. XZ proved that he takes his work very seriously and that he can stand up to the agency. I once heard for what money XZ worked on "JoL" and laughed to tears. Even if he got 10x more for s2, it wouldn't be excessive.

I know what you mean. I'm not saying that all XZ fans are saints. The truth is, every fandom has its freaks. Some people are blinded by love for an idol, others are just idiots. I'm just saying that xfx got a bitter lesson and now they are very careful. That is why I am asking fans of other actors not to go to war just because someone in the fit of endorphins, or just being a moron, said something inappropriate. In your private life, don't you know someone irritating who thinks he is the smartest in the world and you can't get along with him? Xfx have really changed over these two months. They were very arrogant, but they learned humility.
As for "Joy of Life," someone who read the book said that in the following Yan Bingyun's character becomes more important. I suspect that he will actively support XF's attempts to seize power. It is natural in dramas and books that at some point one character comes to the fore more. I met with it ... virtually everywhere. YBY in season 1 had little airtime, but he was an important figure from the first episodes and was constantly talked about. On this basis, it can be seen that this is definitely a developmental figure. Whether the changes will be caused by the fact that XZ has become popular or not, I do not know, but it is the writers and producers who make the best decisions in their opinion. Let me just remind you that the character who was in the book was killed in the series, many others were omitted, and XZ was used for the promotion of "JoL" even in "Who's the Murderer?". I understand your worries. Ever Night is my beloved drama, Ever Night 2 is a nightmare. However, I try to trust the production of "JoL 2". I expect the YBY character extension because it results from the book regardless of whether XZ will play it or someone else.
Today I found out that a crazy fan of one of the actors was trying to run over his bodyguard. Seriously, crazy people are everywhere. But can we judge the entire community based on radical individuals? Also, although I know you may not believe me, several professional haters have been detected among xfx who have been confusing since October to undermine XZ's reputation. I think all fandoms are struggling with the same problem, only the XZ fan club is the largest. Of course, this does not mean that there are no crazy people.

Unfortunately, it looks like haters are attacking XZ again pretending to be its fans. So I am asking Darren fans not to take them seriously. XZ fans really got a lesson and no one will do stupid things.
I am a fan of XZ and I do not agree that anyone should be grateful to him that "The Wolf" will finally see the light of day. Li Qin also greatly increased the market value of the drama. Corporate scuffles and a million worth bet should not care about fans, but "The Wolf" must be broadcast this year and must earn a lot of money, otherwise one of the companies will lose the bet and collapse. XZ currently brings the most income to companies - it's a fact that for several months the market value of XZ is huge, whether you like it or not. I don't know about Darren's market value because it's on other lists.
I really hope that fans will not pay attention to provocations or individual statements. I can assure everyone that xiao fei xia has long known that XZ played character number 2 and they know that it is impossible to change the superstition and make him number 1 character. We also know that XZ may be worse than Darren because Darren was already an experienced actor, and XZ practically a debutant without acting school. In "Joy of Life" XZ played a supportive character and the fans were also very happy.
Let's watch "The Wolf" together enjoying the plot and acting of all actors and let's not get caught up in stupid arguments. Let's not let some random comment spoil the fun of watching the drama we have been waiting for 3 years.

I think that every character is important for every drama, even the episodic one, because each of them creates the whole picture and atmosphere of the drama. I did not read the book, but from the general outline it can be seen that the thread of cooperation and competition (also for a woman) of both male heroes is very important for the story. I've never seen Darren play, but I open my heart and mind to him because I think he deserves respect like any other actor. It is a difficult and demanding profession that gives us a lot of good impressions. I don't understand how fans of actors playing the same drama can act against each other? They should support each other to give drama the greatest possible success. This is not the time for jealousy, but for cooperation. Darren is more popular in Taiwan, XZ in the mainland. Both actors like and respect each other and became friends on the set. Darren helped XZ early in his career and I value him very much. Fans should also respect each other. I'm sure that both - and of course Li Qin - will make "The Wolf" a drama for us, which we will all be happy to watch.

However I respect your opinion, please express it with more subdued words that will not be offensive in the eyes of the overwhelming majority. Everyone has the right to his opinion, but let it be expressed so as not to hurt others.
Not that I negate your action, but since the 4 main platforms have bought the rights to display "The Wolf" and…
However I share your opinion, say the same to the Chinese. Blood flooded me when they dragged XZ into the promotion of "Joy of Life" and pushed him to position C, although he was only on the set for three days. A journalist asked him about the pressure of this series, and XZ replied that they are other actors, they are the main characters and they should feel pressure for the success of this drama, not him. He was right. "Joy of Life" is a good drama regardless of who would play YBY Seriously, this is annoying, but the truth is that now every project in which XZ participates brings gold and free advertising. It's unfair to Darren, Li Qin, even to XZ, but hey, every way is good to make money. Recently I heard that "The Wolf" can be broadcast thanks to the increase in popularity of Li Qin. The girl is getting really liked more and more.

Not that I negate your action, but since the 4 main platforms have bought the rights to display "The Wolf" and supposedly do it simultaneously, why does this platform do such voting? I don't ask because I want to be mean, I honestly want to know if it actually has any significant meaning. Chinese show business is still a mystery to me. Is this not just a trick to attract XZ fans to this platform?
what was his controversy? He was being blamed for ao3 being banned?
Someone has rumored on the web that ao3 has been closed by the government due to denunciations by XZ fans. Several people have said that the idol must be responsible for the bad sin of the fans and the angry users of a03 destroyed the professional achievements of XZ during the night. It has long been proven, XZ fans did not close ao3, the platform had technical problems before and people could log in to it. Unfortunately, professional hackers and ordinary freaks organized a crusade against XZ, persuading everyone that he was a cheater (that his donations were false) and just human trash. In fact, every day there were new insulting rumors, attacks on him, his family and friends. People who dared to stand up for him or just defend decency were equally viciously attacked. Every rumor was refuted with proof of innocence within a day, but the haters continued. XZ was crushed and unemployed, abandoned by the agency and accused by some media. Some advertisers and media stayed with him and gained the respect of fans.
The cruelty and stupidity of the attacks on XZ drew him to the attention of ordinary citizens, who, having become acquainted with his work and person began to take his side. Even the medical staff in Wuhan, grateful for his help during the critical period of the fight against the epidemic, prepared a beautiful film supporting XZ.
To sum up - XZ was targeted and haters wanted to destroy him completely, although XZ was completely innocent. He had several overzealous fans, but every star has them. in the ao3 incident his fans were also innocent. The cruelty of haters who tormented the innocent without any rational reason made XZ extremely popular and liked. His good heart and good deeds that have been defamed so long have multiplied his fans. The oldest fan I know is almost 80 years old. All these people demanded the tightening of laws regarding online violence (this is a fact, changes in law occurred on April 1). The popularity of XZ broke all records, as did its "Spotlight", which in 24 hours broke the record of annual sales. In just over 90 hours, it sold 100 million copies.
On May 6, XZ appeared in public for the first time. He is not going to give up the path he has chosen. He will continue to sing and play dramas. He will continue to be charitable. Fans who are financially independent admonish students to learn, and leave buying products to adults and the rich. I can boldly say that XZ has a huge number of fans aged 25-55 who will support him to the last penny.
This drama is not the wisest, neither are the characters, but it has its own charm. Most of the cast members are…
Oh yes, his hehe and hihi are so wonderful that youtube is full of videos on this topic. Especially episode 12. Just remembering his giggle, my face is all radiant: D
This drama is not the wisest, neither are the characters, but it has its own charm. Most of the cast members are…
It won't be so bad. "The Wolf" will be 99.93% in May. They can always broadcast this drama without any notice. This was the case with other dramas. Why invest in advertising if XZ is the best live walking (and free) advertising of"The Wolf"? Ah, yesterday I watched EP 3 of "Our Song" again. I'm addicted :(
I refuse to watch this video. If I find out that there's a possibility that Xiao Zhan was hurt in anyway or an…
He is tired, sad and more careful than ever, but brave, honest and strong. Lots of fans cried because they see that he is still suffering and everyone wants to hug him and comfort him, but his strength leaves a good impression. He is OK.
For those who may be interested - XZ gave an interview where he spoke about the last two months. The interview is very touching. link to the interview with eng sub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iOrI5urrVk&t=9s He didn't talk about "The Wolf", but it looks like cleaning the area.
I was on the director's Weibo today (the link you provided) and no new pictures were shown. There are still three.But…
The difference is that no one expected CQL to succeed, so its premiere was not a threat to other dramas. In addition, CQL and "The Longest Day" belong to other genres and were intended for different audiences. "Legend od A" and "The Wolf" aim at the same audience. Show biz is a bit like playing chess. In addition, Feiyu has a strong "back". I'm not saying that "LoA" is definitely the reason that "The Wolf" is not yet released. I just don't see the reason why this premiere should not take place. As for the photos, I think it was an advertising game intended to attract attention. And attracted. But, unfortunately, it can only be a bluff. In China, almost everyone expects "The Wolf" in May, but no one gives a specific date. I think they will not warn about the release date so as not to alert the haters. They will release the drama quietly, just as XZ released their two singles. The fans will make sure that "The Wolf" has the best viewership. Some already announce that they will watch it non-stop :)
I was on the director's Weibo today (the link you provided) and no new pictures were shown. There are still three. But honestly, wtf? I follow Chinese gossip and see nothing to prevent the premiere. XZ is more red than black, his fans behave exemplary, normal people no longer trust haters and CCTV in four days three times positively mentioned XZ. Li Qin and Darren Wang are white, there is no scandal, so I don't see even one reason to stop the premiere. Are they waiting for "Legend of Awakening" to end? They don't want to do competition? "Legend of Awakening" is currently a hit of the network. I really don't see any other logical reason. If it's not released this Thursday, I think I'll start casting voodoo curses on them.
"The Wolf" because of a certain bet between corporations must be broadcast this year to make money. The popularity of XZ has rather more effect on the price for the episode and, paradoxically, it could delay the broadcast of the drama to negotiate a higher price.
