Dilraba Dilmurat’s Fans Do Not Want Chen Zhe Yuan as Her Male Lead in Love in the Turquoise Land After the Billing Fan War with Ju Jing Yi in Sword and Fairy 4

• Yep. I was expecting this. Bad move by his camp for pulling that stunt because it would turn other actresses away from him. I hope Dilraba pulls a Zhao Lusi and not give a f*ck about the fandom and choose to act with him regardless. Cause he’s pretty talented and if the script is right may make for a memorable drama.

  • He is talented and im excited to see him in this.I say to the fans who oppose him.Grow up already

    • I find him talented too. I liked him in Hidden Love tho his character got kind of smug and turned me off in the latter half.

• His acting is So BAD in Sword and Fairy. Lol. They betta lower his number before he can’t get anymore gigs!

  • dilraba is THE WORST actress! idk why anyone keeps giving her accolades! she's the SAME im EVERY SINGLE role she's in. I'm in the US & feel these Chinese Netizens REALLY need to watch foreign films from around the world to realize she has NO talent. get it together Netizens, you guys are TIRING with your "devotion". remember these actors & actresses DO NOT give a crap whether you are alive or not. they only rely on your loyalty to make them more $$$$ 🤣

    • I agree. Lol. She does not have depth or range at all. Basically, if these two star in a drama together, it will go down in flames 💁🏻‍♂️

    • Agree. She can’t act after so many dramas. I always wonder why she’s so popular.

    • @USGuest949 - Disagree with you. She is not the worst, there are many more worst actresses out there. Dilraba has her unique talents in order to survive in the Chinese entertainment business for over 10 years. Many Chinese watch foreign films from around the world. No need to talk down on netizens. I have seen many US people who cannot even speak a full decent sentence without any vulgarity words mixed in. Being a keyboard warrior just shows your ignorance!!

• It’s quite embarrassing for their industry. When it’s good they want to make sure they r 1st billing, when the drama is awful they want nothing to be associated w/ the project. I believed his camp did him (image wise) dirty too by how they respond to the whole 1st billing. Clearly evidenced she would have been at the start of production.

  If only they know that instead of fighting they could of use that platform to promote positively

• If you want 1st billing, go work with newbies or lesser known actresses. Don't scam people by pretending to accept 2nd billing at first then turn around to override the billing order just before the drama is about to release.

• The thing more serious about the billing issue, is his inability to carry a drama. For the past few days, SF4 has been focusing on his character's search for his dad, and netizens have been saying they don't want to watch adult version of "爸爸去哪了 (where did my father go)". The heat index of the drama has been falling as well. Moreover, Ju Jingyi has been ranked higher in every chart. Dilireba's fans do not want to work with him cos they don't want her to 扶贫 (lift the poverty) because not only does CYZ has no star power, his baby face does not suit the novel's male lead. Didn't hear anything about other actresses not wanting to work with him, but I'm not surprised. All his dramas are hard carried by his female leads so far.

  • He's able to carry a drama if he has a good script like any actor would. Long before Hidden Love was released, I watched him in Handsome Siblings. At the time I had actually signed on to watch that drama because of Hu Yitian and didn't know who he was. He acted circles around Hu Yitian and hard carried the drama. That's when I knew that he had loads of talent but was badly managed. After that, he had a lot of mediocre to bad scripts. The one good drama other than Hidden Love that would have cemented his break out status was The Golden Hairpin which was mucked up by Kris Wu's scandal.

    And now his management company (with or without his approval) pulled this billing stunt with Ju Jing Yi and damaged his reputation. If they wanted to tank his career, they really chose a smart way of doing so. And for what? A drama that sucks. Stupid move.

    • If it was that easy to carry a drama we would have far more real stars.

      It isn't and we don't.

    • Zhao Lusi's The Last Immortal also had mediocre script and production like SF4 but still has a decent amount of views. Even Ju Jingyi's low budget xianxia drama last year managed to reach 8700 index. When people say actors can carry a drama, it means they are able to guarantee a certain amount of viewership no matter how bad the drama is.

• Ju Jing Yi was signed on board as first billed. This is matter of a production company being shady die to backdoor negotiations. They could have been up front with it in steady of signing both promising each first billing. This is not fandom crap. If his company is going to go around undermining leading ladies in underhanded manner, why would they sign up to work with him?

• The drama they’ll be working on is a Tencent production so her billing status should be safe. It’s iqiyi pulling the strings at the back for him, CP4 wasn’t the first time they’ve snatched a higher billing for him when he was relatively unknown ( Shen Yue, Hu Yitian).

• Worse, his acting in Paladin 4 (Sword and Fairy) isn't even great and he should have known this and NOT make a big stink, even if his contract said he was to be given equal billing. Now he's going to get the credit with Ju Jingyi for the drama not doing well too. LOL.

• I mean in sword and fairy it is clear he is the main character centered around his story. Ju Jing Yi is like a side character or commentator. Still love her character in everything though. In Twin Siblings, his character has always been the main in the older versions. Idk why ppl can't just blame production. The actor actually does a decent job even if I'm not really a fan of him like that. His face actually moves.

  • Billing order doesn't necessarily depend on whose story the drama is centered on. Wallace Huo was 1st billing in The Journey of Flower even though the story is centered around Hua Qiangu played by Zhao Liying.

    • Then billing order is just a weird concept for clout. In the West makes more sense. Lol it like speaks nothing to story or production. Fans from the East are just snowflakes and sensitive. Crazy how this cause so much drama. Anyway if they both signed to be both first then at least CZY has main character plot armor fo back it up.

    • Billing order is basically credits and it exists everywhere, from academic theses to company projects. Lol, fans from the East are simply more intelligent and aware of the entertainment industry's tricks. It is a huge loss for JJY's side as she was promised to be the only 1st billing, not dual 1st billing, there's a huge difference between these two. Anyway from what I see, this drama has huge red flags from the start, refusing to officially announce the production team and casts until the drama is about to air. Very obvious that they planned to scam JJY from the very beginning.

    • Hmmm company projects and credits usually mean importance of the character or effort. Not sure if billing means anything if it doesn't mean screen time or importance to the story, then basically just clout who has more resources and politics. Also to be fair, can't judge his character if it's the production's fault. This ain't a witch hunt or toxic cancelling. Make sense the East is about the collective and not the individual. Poor guy doesn't have power to make decisions but people blame him anyway. I actually watched this drama for JJY cause loved her since Novoland. Now the one person I wish had more roles and better billing one day is MZJ. Poor guy done every role and people don't give him credit.

    • Not speaking for other wester countries. But in the US, corporates give credits to those who have real skills to do the jobs. Ppl betting on connections and social skills alone without ability can't survive.

      Billing order not decided by screen time and importance of the roles is a weird practice.

• Lols, he will always be 2nd to Dilraba. So no worries, Dilraba, YangMi or YangZi will only be 2nd to names like Hu Ge. So, i dont think, he will make any move towards Reba.
