Every TV station loves money. The question is whether "The Untamed" was a success for Netflix (I don't know, maybe someone will tell me?). If so, they will almost certainly buy "The Wolf". The popularity of XZ is not a joke. Now Japan is crazy about him. As far as I know, both Americas and Australia also like him very much, although I don't know to what extent. Although there is a risk that Netflix will buy "The Wolf" after the broadcast in China, like in "The Untamed".
Requests from fans will definitely help. Netflix is making good money now, so many people have started watching TV series ... That's why I have a feeling they'll buy "The Wolf".

Thank you :) When you watch so many Chinese programs without subtitles, you can learn a little language;)

This series is "Love of Thousand Years" which releases the last episodes. Youku likes to announce the premiere 2-3 days before the broadcast, so nothing is known (yet).
There is, unfortunately, the possibility that "The Wolf" will not take its place. It has two strong competitors, ie "Large Fire on the Moon" and "Twiling Song". There are also several smaller ones. Currently, there is a kind of plebiscite and voting, which series is to come first. I do not have today's information yet, they will be in a few hours.
We all hope for "The Wolf", but the situation is a bit complicated. "The Wolf" is now ready for broadcast, but there are some frictions that may delay it. Let's say two powerful forces are rubbing this series. 60/40 for the premiere now. Unfortunately, the opponents brought heavy guns again :(
Seriously, what is happening in Chinese show business is more interesting than many drama :)

I have to disappoint you, but I don't know Chinese, I'm just learning it, but I recognize several titles and names, so I can verify if a given title is high on the list. "The Wolf" has been in the lead for over a month. There are several Chinese channels that provide information with English subtitles. I have been following them for many months and I know they are reliable. In addition, there are translators that help me verify info :). I have to sit on it a bit, but I can learn a lot. The incident 227 to blood people, but already in March people in power said that all three XZ dramas are scheduled for this year. XZ will attract millions of viewers around the world to "The Wolf". His last song on the first day of the broadcast was so popular that it crashed the system and has been continuously at the top of popularity lists for 9 days. How can they not take advantage of the actor's popularity and not make money on it?
I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix bought The Wolf - although that's just my guess.

My information comes only from Chinese sources and Youku actually launched a promotional campaign, I saw screenshots provided by Chinese yotubers. They talk about Youku and Tencent, I haven't heard about the others. There is no official release date yet, only guesses, but if they want to make money on this drama, this is the best time. Nobody wants to compete with "Douluo Dalu" and "The Outh of Love" :). Soon the broadcast of a certain series ends on Youku and the news is that "The Wolf" will come right after that drama. In China, "The Wolf" is one of the most anticipated series of this year..
Oh, I do not know if anyone has already mentioned it, but the number of episodes was reduced to 51, this is official information, which was given by several Chinese sources.
