Please watch The Bond if you like Zhang Wanyi's acting and want to see him have 2 lovelines and divorce! It's a top quality Daylight Entertainment production with great acting by the whole cast. I watched it in 2021 but his loveline with Zhuzhu and Sun Anke were both super interesting.
Initially it was 3 months then 6 months now new rule is 12 months. I think around 1 billion people want it now…
Nah it will release in 2024 January, that's the projected date given because Tencent want to score a hit in 2024. Currently LYF is Tencent's #1 ratings drama in 2023, and it's projected to be the 2nd best drama in 2023 behind The Knockout in terms of viewership.
OMG the show picks up from episode 30 onward just like the book! It's so good! I kinda wish they aired it 2 episodes by 2 eps per day because 30-39 were just chef's kiss ❤️
She was caught by paparazzis at Liu Xueyi's house on his birthday eating cake that he fed her by hand. This was months after LYF wrapped filming in 2022 https://38jiejie.com/2022/08/12/gossip-blogger-releases-hd-unedited-clip-of-liu-xueyi-seemingly-feeding-cake-to-yang-zi-after-they-denied-it/ They used to be under the same company Huanrui so they were ex colleagues but it's pretty sus that she posted "Happy Birthday LXY! See you in a few weeks!" when she was actually at his home celebrating his birthday on the day itself. They are probably just friends and he looks like a bit like Dengwei.
It's a blessing Xukai rejected because I don't think he could pull off CangXuan the way ZWY does. Also may explain why Yuzheng is miffed about LYF and Dengwei's success, bc he is Xukai's boss and may have influenced his project choices.
https://www.douban.com/group/topic/293291409/ Apparently Zhang Wanyi was originally casted as Tushan Jing and XuKai was targeted to play 1st ML CangXuan but he rejected to do Snow Eagle Lord lol, so filming got postponed from 2021 to 2022. Then ZWY agreed to switch to the 1st ML and Deng Wei got casted as Jing 😅
https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4934002223878344 there's another episode of Hello Saturday with the LYF cast on August 19. Yay! It has Dylan Wang (last summer's top ML), Wei Daxun/TJC/DW/ZWY (this summer's top MLs), Yangzi (this summer's top actress) so the ratings will be good lol
https://youtube.com/shorts/915bIL6Gthg https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4933578377400571 At Tan Jianci's fanmeet yesterday there was an archery segment so fans started yelling "Shoot on my body", "Shoot on my face" 💀💀💀💀 so everyone cracked up, TJC turned visibly red and started laughing from embarassment. Even the host was laughing so evil fans continued teasing him by yelling "Hubby shoot it on my face!" "We are all adults, don't be shy!" so TJC lost composure again and turned around laughing 🙈🙈🙈 But he still shot a 10 so the host praised him and teased that his ears were red. This is how China is like under censorship, imagine if there were no rules 🆘🔞
Xiangliu and TJC fans, do check out Secret of the Three Kingdoms for more TJC eyecandy (he first caught my eye in that), he was fantastic as Cao Pi and the whole SOTK cast was gorgeous https://www.douban.com/group/topic/271625657/ this is a post with videos of his video cuts and gifs. Adviser's Alliance was the superior Three Kingdom drama he starred in (TJC has a knack for Three Kingdoms productions because he was a superb young actor who holds his own versus older actors) but Secret of the Three Kingdoms was just a visual feast due to the young cast lol
Spicy long story: The juiciest and funniest LYF news is Yuzheng repeatedly making jabs at Dengwei (long ago DW refused to audition for a Yuzheng drama incurring his ire, so Yuzheng posted and deleted a bitchy essay when LYF released to good ratings, and now he's making jabs at Dengwei again in the comments even though cnetizens tell him to leave DW alone) and how Xiaoyao's assassin MuFei is played by ShenTai, the actor who famously slapped Yuzheng eons ago over a personal dispute (an actor from Yuzheng's agency slept with ShenTai's gf and got found out by ShenTai, and Yuzheng decided to rescind his previous casting offer to ShenTai to side with his protégé) which Chinese netizens still find extremely funny because Yuzheng was too guilty/embarassed to press charges and ShenTai openly posted on Weibo "I am the one who slapped Yuzheng. Everybody has a bottom line. I can just say that knowing such a person can only be described as disgusting. If he does stupid things again I will slap him just the same." 😆🤣 His career wasn't even affected by this at all because everyone in C-ent lowkey hates Yuzheng for being a bitchy plagiariser bully. FYI Yuzheng famously tried to release his version of Scarlet Heart aka Palace starring YangMi in 2011 before Tong Hua's Scarlet Heart got adapted, and Scarlet Heart/Lost You Forever's writer Tong Hua dislikes him immensely. Yuzheng has also been posting negatively about LYF and Dengwei because he's insecure about TongHua, LYF, & DengWei's success since his protégé Bai Lu has her own reverse harem drama Kunning Palace coming out godknowswhen. https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4933527835771254 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4933663047035422 yesterday ShenTai did a Weibo Live to talk about the scene where he kills Xiaoyao in LYF and praised Dengwei for being very humble and professional for asking the director for feedback constantly in an obvious effort to counter Yuzheng's bullying. The comments zone was full of Cnetizens asking ShenTai to "slap Yuzheng again like he promised" LOL it even trended as a hashtag because everyone can tell that Yuzheng is bullying a new actor and that he hates Tong Hua's LYF being successful. This Yuzheng drama is more hilarious than any sitcom plot and what Yuzheng is doing only serves to increase Dengwei's popularity and public sympathy because nobody likes Yuzheng 🙄
I love LOVE Yangzi's acting as Wen Xiaoliu, she was so endearing and convincing as a male character over the other MLs. This makes me unspeakably sad that Golden Hairpin got shelved due to youknowwho 😤 I need to see her in another crossdressing role and it's such a pity they casted Kris because Golden Hairpin has a superb director and plot, plus crossdressing Yangzi😭
I wrote before comment that I wish XL at least one time live for himself and put himself first.. I still think…
XL is a snake that thinks very straightforwardly and pure-heartedly unlike humans for instance, - those who saved or helped him deserve absolute loyalty - the enemies of those he pledged loyalty to must be destroyed and he cannot defect - he does a lot of deals and transactions and lives up to it earnestly e.g. with Fangfeng Bei - if he has given his heart he can't take it back (the love bug unfortunately also ensures this) - he never vocalises his affection 😭 so if Xiaoyao doesn't say she likes him he wouldn't force the matter unlike Jing or Cangxuan who are very persistent or crafty
His "mistake" was taking the love bug thinking that Xiaoyao was just Xiaoliu so they could be together forever, before realising she was the princess of the enemy kingdom. Tong Hua is so cruel 😿
He just wants attention! Such a drama queen! I dislike him, try to avoid his dramas as well. His bbjx copy cat…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Xiaoyichun i unfortunately did like Yanxi more because Wei Yingluo was based on a real empress who entered court as a lowly maid and managed to have her son become the next Emperor despite his mother not being from an influential clan. Both mother and son must have been bloody good at palace politics lol, can't believe no one told a story from Lady Wei's POV until Yanxi Palace 🧐
Xiangliu cooking for our FL💕🥰
