C-actor Jing Bo Ran Reportedly Departs Soon to Film Xianxia C-drama Hidden God with Zhao Lu Si, Netizens Think Either Wu Lei or Wang Yi Bo May Step in to Save the Production

Well this is a totally juicy “what the hell happened behind the scenes” rumored casting scuffle. Today an entertainment blogger claimed that reputable sources are saying that C-actor Jing Bo Ran has “ran off” from the soon to start filming xianxia drama Hidden God. What is he a runaway bride lol! He was confirmed last month and the filming was on the eve of starting so netizens think he’s upset that his fandom and Zhao Lu Si‘s fandom got into a fight over who should have top billing. While Zhao Lu Si is now a popular ’95 flower but Jing Bo Ran was an top star way before her popularity surge. Or maybe he simply no longer thought it was the right role for him. The rumor also says that a W-last name actor will step in as last minute replacement and C-netizens think it’s either Wu Lei or Wang Yi Bo. Additional W-named actors include Dylan Wang (Wang He Di) and Wang An Yu, with thankfully Wu Yi Fan gone from the industry. This is a developing story so it’s all fast moving gossip right now.

  • She and her media team can't seem to stand on their own without dragging Wulei through the mud. Apparently they are having a hard time finding actors willing to work with her. Maybe she should take a look in the mirror. No actors/actresses who has worked with her has escaped unscathed.

    • Do you even know what you're saying? Have you personally talked to the actors Lusi worked with? Did they tell you that they've been harmed physically, emotionally or socially? I don't know Lusi personally but the BTS of her dramas clearly shows she has good relations with her male leads. And none of her ex ML have given negative comments about her. You should be the one to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you're doing the right thing. If you hate her so much, stop reading anything about her and find other constructive things to do. You spew so much hate, it's not going to do you good.

      • Nobody ever says anything bad about their colleagues there. They leave it to their fans that are managed by directives to duke it out. And boy, is it fun to see how it always turns out after she is done filming something. Lusi stans are so much fun. Once she crashes and she will, your heads will explode!

    • Oh c’mon lets not judge Zhao Lusi and her team., not because we don’t like an actor or actress we can just judge them😡. Btw who are the actors or actress that she has destroyed??? Don’t you know movie stars live on gossips 🤣🤣, please… whoever you are … don’t be easy to judge someone like that, besides Zhao Lusi is a versatile actress and is a bankable one too. Let’s just spread love not hate ok? Happy Holidays everyone❤️

    • You acting like a spoiled brat child do you even know her? every actors she work with they have a chemistry so why so jealous of her? Stupid jealous bitch

  • It's 井 Jing Boran not Jin 金. If you are Chinese there is no way you could mix it up... There is no way Wu Lei is going to do it too because the role is secondary to Lusi's character and the male actor will just look like an afterthought. Chinas top paparazzi Liu Dachui already said their CP is fake and they arent dating too

    • @anon You really have a way to put people down huh?
      Soorrrry... not everyone can read Chinese. So what?

      Also you keep harping on about her bad publicity team.... let me tell you a little secret... the whole entertainment industry is cut throat and a toxic industry. SURPRISE!! Look no further than Hallyu in Korea, and or Hollywood. Just because her team got caught, doesn't mean other celebrities are angels... they're just better at convering up their tracks.

      I enjoy watching Zhao Lusi's work, I think she's pretty good to watch in dramas though I wouldn't consider myself a fan... but when you keep attacking her like this, I can't help but speak up. You are quite passionate in trying to convince people to dislike her... why? What's it to you?

      Let people like what they like in their own terms, without comments like yours that just seems to rain on people's parade.

      Also, this talk that she needs to slow down... just calm your farm. She's trying to make money... like everyone working in the entertainment industry. So if there's work available, she'll take it. She seems to have the stamina to do it... so why not? Why are you giving her armchair career advice?

      Oh dear... I'm baffled by some people. Take a CHILL PILL PEEPS 😎 🤙

      • Sylvia are you alright? It is not a put down to point out Jing Boran's name is wrong and should be corrected. If someone called Joe Biden "Joey Biden" or called Jungkook "Jungkoo" do you think its fine? All it does is explain why Koala posts so many fake rumors, because she literally isnt fluent.

      • Again @anon. Seriously take a chill pill! The gall to ask if I'm alright!?!

        This is an English gossip column. When the writer of the article wrote the name of the actor, it is correct, everyone knew who she was referring to. There are also pictures to go with it!

        Koala is using whatever resource she can to get these articles out, and i am one who enjoys it. I don't read Chinese, so this is a good alternative for me.

        If you don't like it, then don't come here. Don't read.
        Here's a thought, why don't you go start your own site, using your fluent Chinese to translate Chinese gossip articles into English.

        Ps. Most gossip articles are fake anyways. But it's juicy and fun to read. So sue me!
        I take most things with a grain of salt. Not everyone is a knucklehead and believes everything they read. Use your God given brain!

      • Anon is just pointing out Koala's pinyin mistakes. Whats wrong with correcting someone if she is literally mis-spelling people's names all the time? And I second him/her. Koala often post rumors by unknown yxhs that has literally nobody ever talking about it. Sounds like she just randomly google her fave actors' names and take the first rumor she sees, instead of following the bigger or more reliable accounts.

      • it's okay, guys! Thanks for the love and support. Corrections are fine and I make mistakes all the time and appreciate corrections so I can fix it.

        But yes @Anon seems fixated on whenever I mistakenly romanize a Chinese character. I am more fluent in Wade-Gilles, of course, but honestly Pinyan is easier to use and reads smoother so I try to use it more other than with Taiwanese stars that still use the K v. G or Ch v. J/Q/Zh and you know the drill.

        I just blog to share news I read is all, glad some folks find some value in reading. :-)

      • @Anna There is nothing wrong with correcting someone's spelling mistake. But when @Anon adds "IF you are Chinese there is no way you could mix it up..." that is just unnecessarily condescending.

        She habitually puts down ZLS for whatever publicity stunt her team did, and whatever hurt is hurled onto the other party.
        Yeah, alright... oh WuLei's name got dragged through the mud, he is so wounded that he is crying himself a river because of ZLS fan's antics. Give me a break, i'm sure he dabbles his wet eyes with the rolls of money he's made from the popularity garnered in the drama with her in LLTG!

        Koala may not be fluent like you in Chinese... but what she's got is enough for me. Good job Koala. Love your work!

    • Also it is Song 祖 Zu Er not Song Zhu Er, I think I understand now why Koala posts a lot of fake C-Ent rumors if she relies on Google Translate.

      • I don’t usually bother wasting my time but I’m curious. If you’re so amazing at Chinese - then what are you doing here on an English site? Stick to weibo then instead of coming to a blogger’s site and saying nasty things that are completely incorrect. Would you go to someone’s house and badmouth them? No, you wouldn’t, because you wouldn’t be able to hide behind fake/no name. Regardless of which stars you support, show some respect and decency or all you’ll do is make yourself AND the stars you “support”and “defend” look bad.

      • If I’m not mistaken, koala is taiwanese. Taiwanese dont have the same spelling in translating mandarin into alphabets, as in Chinese’s pinyin. Eg. the name of actress Puff Kuo, using pinyin it should be written as Puff Guo. So there’s a slight difference there.

      • Even if Koala is Taiwanese, Jing 井Boran is Jing Boran in Pinyin or Wade Gilles. Jing and Jin are different. Its like saying Son Jihyo is the same as Song Jihyo, it isnt and people shouldn't be upset when told to spell it correctly.

        1. If you can't even spell a famous or public person's name correctly when it take 2 seconds to Google or check Wiki, your website will look cheap.

        2. As someone who calls out Koala for posting a lot of fake rumours (because I suspect she is not a native Chinese speaker and doesn't understand how to discern clearly fake melons when reading, it's really a matter of reading comprehension and I would be hopeless in reading Thai gossip forums too), I finally get why she does it if she can't even bother to check how to spell a popular actor's name correctly when it's on Wikipedia.

        3. The principle of the matter is, it is not wrong to tell an entertainment blogger to spell someone's name correctly for her own credibility. If someone at work spelt your surname wrongly would you ignore it and think "Its OK they are a nice person let them call me Silver instead of Sylvia". What kind of entertainment blogger can't even spell names on Wikipedia correctly and why are their readers calling out comments that ask for better spelling? Do you want this blog to lose credibility or improve?

      • @Anon

        Since you are so upset, just leave? The rest of us have a brain and understand human beings make mistakes, especially with today's autocorrect that makes a proper mess of things.

        There, you have now unloaded this vast thing that has made you so upset. Off you pop now. We will continue just fine with Koala here.

      • @ Lol that suffered identity theft

        Thanks for the love gurl, and also I like super love your new handle even more it's, like, epic. XD

        @ Anon

        Let me give you some advice. It's always a bad idea to double down, even if you are "technically" correct. It's like focusing on the misspelled word when most everyone else wants to talk about the content of the essay. You just come across as a sanctimonious tryhard.

        Are you correct? Yes! Do most people care? No! See, it's not that hard. Thanks for the corrections, I make edits and corrections all the time and never have a problem with it. You seem to take it personally and I'm sorry you feel that way.

        I know I make mistakes in writing, in spelling, in grammar, in even the news I report but it's never intentional and I don't lose sleep over it nor is there any shame in it. Just keep doing better. If a news turns out later either to be false or true then but later didn't happen, it's no biggie to have shared it.

        I'm only chiming in because you're making yourself look bad and I don't presume it's necessarily your intention. If it was to shame me, not sure it worked. If it was to make yourself look better, it kinda didn't.

      • @Lol & Koala
        Nobody is upset just because they asked for better spelling. In fact I was the one who posted on an older post to Koala that Jing Boran was rumored to have quit Hidden Gods. In that post I definitely spelt his name right so it's a matter of copy and pasting his name.

        Kim Soohyun and Kim Sohyun are 2 different people too, Jin 金 & Jing 井 are different surnames, if Koala is Taiwanese she should know. It would help her site's credibility to check rumors and spelling more before posting, its mindboggling how Kpop fans are known to be upset if you spell their idols name wrongly but Cpop fans are expected to just be happy if Cpop is being discussed even if it's fake rumors with bad spelling. I'm an overseas Chinese like Koala (yes Taiwan isn't China) and I want to see more Cpop sites that report accurately.

  • Nah, I doubt Wu Lei will take up the replacement job when he's currently suffering at the hands of Zhao Lusi's shipper fandom with him.

  • Jing Boran appears to be a calm, collected guy. He wouldn't want to be involved in any fan wars. I also personally think this isn't the right project for him. I know I'll be blasted for saying this, but XLS has been filming non stop, project after project. She's already over exposed and it is bound to simmer down especially if all drama people see is her and her projects. If JB films this with her, by the time it gets released, in 2023 or 2024, she'll have over exhausted her popularity, and it will affect him. By the speed she is going, that's likely to happen. No one can keep this kind of momentum forever esp in c-ent, and if she keeps doing the same thing, there will be no new offering.

    Her fans and WL's fans have an ongoing nasty fights. I don't think WL will sign.

    Crazy me would like to see a pairing with WYB. His fans are notorious for fighting with almost every fandom in the c-ent. They'll fight head on with ZlS fans. Tip billing will be the first one to fight with. Seniority wise, ZLS should get the top billing. WYB has never had drama work where he was top billing, always 2nd, I think. And he doesn't have much projects in the past. Even his drama with Zhao Liying tanked. His only noteworthy project was Untamed, but then he was a 2nd billing there too, and the story belonged to Wei Wu Xian, not his character. He has movies, but none has been shown so far.

    I personally thought XLS should slow down and put more works into knowing her characters, rather than rush to everything. I see deterioration in her acting esp the 2nd part of LLG. And I associate that with her not having enough time to emerge herself into the role. It was very obvious when WL was acting alongside her.

    If it is WYB, who just doesn't have the acting capability at this point, and XLS doing her rush-rush thing, it'll be interesting to see the finish product. But even more so about the very possible fan war bw the 2 fandom.

    • Can you imagine what kind of chaos it would be if these two worked together? They would slaughter each other.

      I'll get the popcorn.

    • That’s really insightful, I usually didn’t notice these kinds of details. Btw you must like seeing the world burns🤣

    • Yibo somehow managed to get great connections in the past few months and has been starring in a few movies with top stars like Tony Leung and Zhou Xun, and even top billing in the movie with Hu Jun. If he stars in this drama, no way he is gonna be second billing imo. His team would definitely fight for first or equal billing, but then again Lusi has Yang Xiaopei backing her up. The fan war would definitely be interesting to watch; Yibo with his BL fandom and Lusi with her crazy shipper fans.

      • Let's talk about how awesome Yibo's movies are when they actually see the light of day. I know his fans love to talk about his glorious movie career but back here in the real world we prefer to actually see a movie before we start even talking about the quality, never mind him as a movie star .

        I mean I understand why you toilets are pressed and fantasizing but give it a break.

      • How did you interpret me as a fan of Yibo from the comment above? I'm not a fan of ugly stuff unlike an uncultured whore like you, who stan a pig-looking actress. Yibo and Lusi would be a perfect pairing because they would match each other visually, and therefore I am rooting for him to be the actor that gets cast in Hidden God. Because then, not only would we have a clown fest of a drama, we would have a shitshow outside of it too.

      • @Anna

        I am not a Zhao Lusi fan and even they are not so bad to call people "uncultured whore" - this is the sign of toilets and only toilets. The way you give yourselves away is amazingly funny.

      • Well you do seem to love dirty talk with your mention of toilets, so I'm just going by your standards. Anyway since you are not a fan of Zhao Lusi, I believe you would be happy if Wang Yibo is the male lead (or Yu Shuxin as the female lead would be nice too). Let the ugly people star together so we can get visual pairings.

      • @Anna “uncultured whore”... for stanning an actress? Are you for real? The misogyny in that comment lmao

      • “uncultured whore” lol yikes on bikes. you should check yourself because that comment is... holy sh*t at this point you haters are the more deranged ones than the supposedly “deranged” ZLS fans, at least they're not calling others gross names for liking an actress

  • Wang HeDi, WuLei and Wang AnYu are out because they have projects at the same time. Wang YiBo is said won't be do any drama anytime soon because he aims to be a movie actor. So who ever Mr W will be most likely won't be a big name or liuliang.

  • I don't think We Lei will take this role if he will be a 2nd top billed only and as a fan of him I won't like that. He is way deserving a great drama that will be his only, his brand, his trademark. He is so good being just a flower in Lusi's drama. For Wang Yibo, he has a large fandom in China so this drama will be having a great fan wars if WYB put his name in here. For Jing Boran, he is a decent man. He has a good reputation in the industry. I think there is a depper and very reasonable reason why he resigned from the role in the last minute.

  • It can’t be Wu lei cos he is confirmed for another project with Zhao JinMai. I read somewhere Wang Yibo is gonna do a movie next (not confirmed). Both Wang Anyu and Wang Hedi are booked for their next project.
