I blame Youku more than Daylight for that disaster though since their FL has several dramas airing on that platform, and it's not coincidental that the last drama ZLH starred with her that also got his scenes butchered was also on Youku. I mean why would Daylight waste time and money filming his scenes if they're going to cut them. I'm sure Youku had their say in the cuts during post production.
Cbiz is so shady and complicated. ZLH is really getting by thanks to talent and a higher power's protection because it's obvious his agency doesn't have his back.

True. OG and Daylight was like a huge slap in the face after I had been so happy and optimistic he landed a big PH project lol. But then look at who also got parts in that, one of mama Xu’s new children. It’s like they went “ok Xu Yiruo, you can insert your other talents if we can cut whatever we want on ZLH’s parts to benefit whoever we’re boosting” and she went, “deal!”

People act like he's his own boss and can come and go as he please lol. He is still someone's employee and has to do as he's told since he's contractually obligated to. I wish he could just quit it since it's not that different from what he's filmed in the past so it wouldn't add much to his acting resume anyway. I'm still waiting for Overdo to judge if Yi Jun's skills have improved because whatever I've checked out of his so far hasn't impressed me, sadly. The only attractive point was that this was from Linmon, but now it's just a big mess.

There is a photo of her from her birthday a couple of years ago where she's sitting on a table like a boss and the staff around her are kneeling on the floor bowing to her. Their boss Xu Yirou is also shown bowing to her. I guess it's supposed to be a "cheeky" photo, but it tells so much about their dynamic. Their boss has repeatedly shown preferential treatment of LYX over ZLH (I can list them all but this would be a mile longer than this comment already is right now.) If she gets her way into this drama, it's very likely ZLH's scenes and screen times will be tampered with in order to boost her because they have been trying for years for her to have a breakout. ZLH has the magic touch at the moment because since PoJ and on, every single one of his dramas are highly anticipated. If this drama also becomes a hit, then LYX would be the one who benefits more. This director is also now under Star Times's control as it's been said that he's signed with them. Due to the past issues and on going foreshadowing, ZLH's fans have great worries that this will not bode well for him if she gets the role. Because there's nothing to stop their boss from making LYX take over the storyline if their boss is practically monopolizing this production with her people. (I will be surprised that Linmon would be controlled like this if it comes true.)

Except for The Best Thing and SOKP(which he was not the original intended ML), majority of ZLH's dramas have had his character arcs tampered with and filmed scenes cut in order to give other people the boost. As he's the employee, his boss is the one who has the power to decide what dramas he gets to act in and she has always seemed to let him be at a disadvantage because it allowed her to bring other people from her company into the dramas that he's filmed. This is the kind of resource exchange dealings that go on behind the scenes that casual viewers who aren't deep in chinese entertainment fd don't know about. It's frustrating because it leads to so much warring issues and wrong choices that don't benefit the dramas at all when they air.

I think she's wrong in her calculation and choosing 2 won't have the outcome she's expecting. Look at what happened with PoJ hate campaigns(as well as MJTY and SOKP). Instead of being crushed it boosted him even higher. Anyway, this just shows how greedy, bias, and shortsighted she is. If she had supported Linghe genuinely and boosted his career, he would've repaid her tenfolds being the person that he is.

Her fans boycotted He Qiu(also from their same company) from being cast in the same drama as her. This is a normal occurrence in every actor's fd every time there are drama casting rumors, but when it comes to ZLH, it suddenly becomes a mortal sin. His cfans have legitimate reasons based on numerous incidences why it would be harmful to ZLH's career if they are partnered. Not to mention, she's the least suitable for this role among all the actresses who have been rumored so far.

I don't think legally she can lock on to him when the contract ends, but I'm sure she won't make life easy for him up until that point so that it's harder for him to leave. I really hope he has the higher power's protection and is able to make it on his own and be his own boss.

Today made it even more obvious who's the favored child with the way the negative comments and hot searches were being controlled and suppressed versus in March when ZLH was being mass cyberbullied and absolutely nothing was done about it.

And karma can also indirectly work its way through who she favors as well. I’ve already seen some of it happening this year

She didn't expect PoJ to blow ZLH up the way it did. Karma has been working overtime this year and her turn will come. Don't worry.

I'm just counting down the days to when his contract with this witch ends but it feels so far away 😢

To add to these points: The agency also offered to take a pay cut for this actress to 1/3 of other actresses' that Linmon had their eyes on, but failed and resorted to using ZLH's contract as a bargaining chip. If this practice is something that can be used as a tool to snatch away roles from actresses who are more fitting for the parts then Star Times is stooping to a new low every day.

I am just anticipating what other disasters will fall on ZLH when Overdo comes on air since it's even more anticipated than POJ. I have to mentally prepare every time he has a new drama out, but the events are always worse than I imagine. I thought the worst we would face with POJ was fanwars between the 2 leads' fd 😂

She's my preferred choice out of all the fl melons I've seen so far

I hope they use prosthetics to make his face change and not a different actor 🙄

As for the average view of POJ, a data analyst had originally predicted that it would end its run after 30 days heating period with around 85-90 mil per eps but because it was leaked now the best we can hope for is 75 mil 🥲

TBT ended at around 17 mil at the end of its 30 days period but had amazing long tail effect that's why it has over 30 mil currently. I don't think POJ will have that same long tail effect lol.

That was actually a diversion tactic by his team to avoid crazy fans crowding. They bought one ticket then at the very last minute canceled it and bought a totally different one on the spot to avoid anyone trying to follow him. So what you saw was nothing compared to how may would have shown up if they could guess his travel schedule ahead of time. Kind of sucks for him since flying would've decreased his travel time.

You should hear ZLH's live delivery of this from reuters. He sounded very powerful. This voice actor's version was less so.

I can only laugh about everything at this point. Just another day in the life 😂 I'm going back to TBT for comfort after this.
