Hahahaha, this casting is straight out of fan fiction but there is clearly is a shred of possibility as it’s making the rounds in C-drama casting rumors within the industry. There is talk of Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi doing a second go-around for the wuxia period drama The Year of the Book (书君年 Shu Jun Nian). I will believe Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan doing another project together either when pigs fly or when it happens, the last time with The Oath of Love their two fandoms easily two of the largest and most devoted attempted to take each side down and that was not a fun experience. But if this drama is a S-plus huge production getting these two could be possible, and the same casting rumor says Liu Yu Ning and Tan Jian Ci are being courted for the second male leads. This is like a famous level upgraded male cast to Lost You Forever lol. Hearing this news was entertaining for sure and if the casting roulette changes with the project I’ll update then.

Eh, possibly in Yang Zi's dream (that this could be true)
Or you mean in XZ dreams 😂😂, isn't he the one with the scandal bow and his team is trying to use yibo and Zi to cover up for them😂😂
???? LOL. I heard about exactly the opposite. These two former costars of XZ are most aggressively tagging XZ's name for their own marketing. What I saw on Chinese SM and Youtube also reflects that.
There is no ounce of possibility in this rumour at all😂😂. YZ has been avoiding anything XZ in a subtle and good way, she turned down the offer from boucheron, didn't make any contact with him this year's Weibo Night, and I don't blame her, I mean she has already endured enough from his fandom for 5 years, she just wants to move on.
Turn down offer from Boucheron? Lol what a joke. Your sis is known for being unfashionable and no decent luxury brands has ever given her ambassadorship. But she wanted to be linked with XZ so bad that she borrowed Boucheron jewellery from some unknown to wear in her Weibo Night photoshoot. Too bad she had to take them off during the official event though, because wearing them in the official event will offend the brand.
No decent luxury brand😂😂. Antis be going crazy like😂😂, so Valentino and Prada even APM Monaco aren't decent brands. I think you need some rest😂😂😂
And is she the first celebrity to use jewelry that she isn't endorsing??
And yes, she turned down boucheron, go and argue with a wall
Lol these brands are all low tier, the top celebrities don't endorse them. Prada, in particular, has rumours going around C-ent that its Chinese ambassadors are prone to getting cancelled. You fans are sure delulu, what evidence do you have to claim that she turned down Boucheron? From the words of your professional fan leaders? 😂
And your sis also didn't get any ambassadorship from low tier brands until recently. It's amusing seeing how YZ fans used to claim that their jiejie is a professional actress who doesn't care about superficial things like popularity and luxury brand ambassadorships. Yet the moment YZ finally received an ambassadorship from a low tier luxury brand, both YZ team and her fans went on a marketing rampage to let everyone know 😂
@Lilith, Just afew pennies for my thoughts, No offense to yours at all Frankly, there are many artistes in China who are not fashionable.. Yang Zi seem to likes a more casual look unless she is in a event and had to dress up.
She is not like Liu Shishi, Dilraba, Yang Mi etc... And she does not try to be on her own time. She does value comfort over luxury. That is very true. But I think that is why she is popular with the normal people who grew up watching her. Her outfits suits her character..
I certainly like her to be who she is... as example likes of Liu Shishi, Dilraba are Goddess in almost everything they wear. They just carry the aura. She will never be like them, nor is she interested to be.
Yang Zi may not earn as much doing CFs in comparison to them (I dont know)...But I doubt it bothers her, she is doing what she enjoys. That is acting.
@Lilith, I am curious about your comment on her borrowing jewellery to be linked to Xiao Zhan, both are already friends, why does she need to do that? I hope they are still frienfs...it is better to have friends in this industry then enemies.
@Lilth those 3 are low tier brands 😂😂😂. You know antis are funny, you guys are the ones who made fun of her for not having any luxury brands and then when she has and her fans brag about it, you also complain 😂😂 asif it isn't common for fans to brag of their faves endorsements🤷🏽♀️ and yes she is a professional actress and yes she only really started caring about her fashion and endorsements cause she even admitted it and there's nothing bad in that
LOL Honestly, its the first time I ever heard of Boucheron. Reminded me of Korea's Bonchon, best fried chicken! Its pretty sad Chinese celebs have to change 1-3 luxury outfits a night at award shows, as if China be flaunting their wealth when really, many people just wonder...why try so hard? Anyway, if YZ don't have "decent" brand ambassadorship, I'm fine with that, she's a self made actress, not a spoiled rich kid. I have more respect for celebs who don't get sucked into the world of luxury brand ambassadorship.
@bean
Boucheron is a brand from mid 19th century but peasants who have never left their villages wouldn't know.
Your jiejie can only wish to get even a local title, she sure tried and released draft after draft and again, failed, like with all the other luxury she was desperate to acquire.
Don't worry about XZ, he is sitting next to CEOs of Gucci and Tod's in Milan right now. Better focus on your desperate fave who can't score anything good no matter how much she desperately tries.
@Pathetic
Yeah, I am a peasant, not ashamed to admit, its what most of the world's population is. I guess you are a peasant too, you care enough to read my post, if you were royalty, you wouldn't give your two cents on it LOL.
@Haha
You know, I actually feel disappointed in YZ and every other celeb who feel the need to be sponsored by big brands to solidify their status in the acting world. I have more respect for actors who just stick to acting and reject luxury brands. When I watch an actor, I prefer to see them sell a drama or film, not a clothing brand that I obviously can't afford. I can afford a film ticket though. LOL
@Pathetic,
Also, don't worry, sitting next to the CEOs of Tod's and Gucci only last like 2-5 years max. Producing good films/dramas the audience enjoy can last a lifetime. :D
@HL When we say unfashionable, it includes events and photoshoots as people don't really comment on how celebrities are dressed in their personal time. It's not that much of a wrong itself to be unfashionable and not having luxury brand ambassadorship, but it's another thing to pretend to not care about them by claiming to be a professional actress while insinuating that other fashionable actresses with luxury brand ambassadorships are not professional. I don't know if she's friends with XZ since they don't interact after TOOL aired, but YZ's fandom is closely managed by her team. If you look at her fandom's attitude towards XZ and his fandom, they certainly aren't friends. The weibo YXHs that praise YZ also often put XZ down. A good example of friends is like XZ and Lay (Zhang Yixing), they have interacted on weibo multiple times and XZ even supported Lay's movie by reserving a few sessions and gifting the tickets to others.
@Darkangel I've got one comment with further explanation on those low tier luxury brands that's stuck in the filters before the one at 1:11 AM, have fun waiting for it. Lmao the hypocrisy is you delulus going around putting other actresses down for having luxury brands, but now that YZ has managed to get some lower tier brands, you all behave as though she's now at the top of the line. Too bad those brands are indeed lower tier and the current top celebrities don't endorse them. Claiming that your sis turned down Boucheron for APM Monaco is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Boucheron is a proper luxury jewellery brand whereas APM Monaco sells fashion jewellery that's not even made of solid gold.

Had to break my comment up because the filter keeps blocking it.
@Darkangel Long story short since Koala is adamant on blocking some words or info. Claiming that your sis turned down Boucheron for APM Monaco is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Boucheron is a proper luxury jewellery brand whereas APM Monaco sells fashion jewellery that's not even made of solid gold.
@bean
I mean so you agree she is pathetic.
Because all her dramas are flopping big time on TV where she can't water. Your quadruple now 0.1 queen.
On the other hand, XZ is breaking through the mainstream with Youth Memories, filmed with Tsui Hark and now with Zheng Xiaolong.
So yes, her flip flops will fade away and his good works remain. And all that while he got to sit with those big bosses.
Damn it's hard to stan YZ, my sympathies lol
No one ever claimed that actresses with luxury brands aren't professional actresses. Not me, not anyone, it's just you your own thinking. I only said that she didn't care about endorsement and fashion until recently in which seven she said in one of her latest interviews.
And plss even Suga for BTS, Son Yejin, Enhyphen, even song Kang which are big names endorses these 2 brands so yes, they are profitable brands😂😂.
And why can't she turn down boucheron for APM Monaco, is it a crime?? She runs her studio and can decide what she wants for herself 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. I'll stop arguing as this is just pointless and this post was about melon of a drama together not endorsements
@Haha
Who said she was pathetic? She’s still got lots of projects lined up for her and past projects that were successful. Same situation with most celebs. Hits and misses. A pathetic person won’t get hired. Lol She’s definitely not as pathetic as anyone in this comment section. Lmao.
@Lilith, XZ is good friends with Lay??? I like Lay alot...love his dancing and his dedication to his craft. Happy to know both guys are friends.
@Darkangel Lol typical green tea reaction. If you didn't mean actresses with luxury brands are not professional then why claim the reason YZ doesn't care for luxury brand ambassadorships to be because she's a professional actress? So apparently she doesn't care about endorsement and fashion when she couldn't get any previously but suddenly care the moment she managed to get a couple of them?
And yes, it doesn't make sense to turn down a luxury jewellery brand for some unknown fashion jewellery brand when she obviously care alot about getting luxury brand ambassadorships with how her team and fans go around bragging about Valentino and Prada. And you're the one who started off first by making false claims about YZ turning down Boucheron ambassadorship, now you want to stop arguing after I've debunked it? 🙄
@Lilth I think you need to relearn how to read at this point, I went through all my comments and didn't meet a single comment of me saying actresses with luxury brands aren't professionals instead it was you who stated it, and I said that she is a professional actress. So now it's you who stated it, now accusing me of being the one who said it🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. So yeah you are the one showing gree tea behavior not me😂
And then I ask again why it isn't possible for her to turn down boucheron, you act like it's the end of the world for her.
@Darkangel Oh, you said not anyone in your previous reply, so I thought you were speaking on behalf of the YZ fans who claimed that actresses with luxury brand ambassadorships aren't professional. Then let me ask again, why are you so sure that she turned down Boucheron, what proof do you have to support your claim? If you want to accuse people of theft, you need to bring out proof first right, instead of asking the accused to prove himself innocent?
@bean
So why has she been licking luxury for years? It's because she is desperate for it but nobody wants her. And the reason they don't want her is because her data is all water. No high luxury is crazy enough to touch that mess.
@Haha Valentino and Prada are laughing you right now
Valentino gave her a chance because of her manager and look at what they got in return - did a shoot wearing a Valentino jacket and then bought a hot search on Weibo saying she wore a Chanel style jacket. Sigh.
@Darkangel
They signed her?? Right.
And how did that go, especially with Valentino? Lmfao pathetic.
I do wish to see her and LYN in a wuxia drama though 🥺🥺 it would be epic🔥🔥
This has GOT to be fake 😂
I hope so. LOL
The drama hasn't been confirmed yet but fan wars are already everywhere. I'm sure there will have uproar among XZ's fans at least if the rumored collaboration is true. I have seen many XZ's fans very negative about YZ, mostly questioning about actress' character off screen. I don't judge YZ off screen since that's personal life. But I don't like her as an actor and therefore, I hope XZ will not costar with her again.
It's not true.
XZ is doing a movie and then a drama after Zanghai, we already know what they are and neither has anything to do with YZ.
The projects that were released, starring him recently, were filmed so far back that after they were finally released and he saw the reception, I feel like he’s gonna be more selective, and he now has the star power to do so. I’m hoping he chooses something good to show out on in the (near) future.
@Shrug, wait! Is he doing a movie and then a drama after Zhang Hai? I thought he's filming Zhang Hai but no new projects announced yet after Zhang Hai.
@Somebody
Yes, after Zanghai. It doesn't have to be officially announced. We knew about Zanghai in May last year. It should be movie then drama, if everything goes to plan in terms of pre-production of the movie.
@Shrug, wow! Anything about the new movie and drama? What are those about? Anything in the air?
LOL impossible. With Xiao Zhan's current status, he will always be 1st billing but there's no way Yang Zi will give up her 1st billing too.
POPCORN time for this thread!
Who's joining me? Come sit by me, sistahs, for some entertainment.
That has got to be the ugliest photo of Tan Jianci you could find, Koala.
Now that you've said it, I can't unsee it now😭😭
Oh....throwing out rumours to test the water...watch how it ripples/splash. Lets wait and see if this is true or just fantasy.
I also got an inkling about that. I don't think XZ's side will test this kinda water though. LOL. His team should be pretty aware of the tension between the two fandoms. Many XZ fans already have qualms about most of his past leading ladies, me included. His team will be carefully pick his costars from now on. Not saying XZ has the power to decide his FLs. But he did say in his interview he will pick projects with good cast. So, he has right to reject projects with undesirable FLs. Not saying he doesn't like YZ as a friend. But many XZ fans (me included) don't like YZ as an actress. That's a also a fact.
I dont care about fandoms...I find some of them tiresome and just too intrusives and this applies to all fandoms.
I am ken to atch Xiao Zhan staring with any artistes (Male or Female) that he is comfortable with. He is not the most social of person...he is quite private... and I find him gentle, polite but a late warmer. He does best with a artiste he trust.
As for YangZi, I have a soft spot for her since she was a young kid...grew up watching her. I just want her to be happy and doing what she enjoys, which is acting.
I dont want to engage in fan wars with anyone. I really doubt these idols wants it too.
@HL There's something I'm curious about, do you mind enlightening me? You mention that you grew up watching her, which is also something I kept seeing her fans say. May I know if you've lived in China when you were young? I don't think the dramas that she had acted in when she's a kid were exported internationally. And China is not into following the growth of their child actors and actresses, the only person who has some love from the public watching him grow up is Wu Lei. And even so, they only took notice of him during Nirvana in Fire when he's 15-16yo.
@HL And I was always under the impression that you are much older, like in your forties and above, as you had mentioned about being old several times.
Lmao I sure hope his team picks his leading ladies properly. Zhang Jingyi and Li Qin are good choices. The others... not so. Their visuals turn me off from watching XZ's dramas.
@lilith, never lived in Chins, have not even toured there. I watched the shows on VCDs I think...i have a relation in UK that loved China shows and he get his friends to send to him. It was years ago already. I get to watch different old Cdramas.... I saw YangZi family drama then. I have moved to UK by then.
I do wish to visit China to see their landscapes, some old tombs, art and food. But not keen to visit the modern shopping spots.
@Joy, I agree with you about Li Qin and Zhang Jingyi. Specifically Zhang Jingyi, is the one among all his FLs that I consider both acting and visuals are most on par with XZ. Some fans are critical of Li Qin, saying not able to get her acting. But I do think XZ has strong chemistry with LQ in The Wolf and also The Youth Memories.
Oh I see... I was under the impression that people weren't into Chinese dramas back in the 2000s, maybe except for historical/costume ones. Hong Kong and Taiwanese dramas were more popular back then. I would like to visit China someday too, but it's kinda hard to do it free and easy which is how I normally travel. And I've heard foreigners have to book tickets in advance for popular attractions now, unless they book with some tour agencies.
@Lilith, you are right...I mean, I watched Yang Zi grow up from her family drama... not grew up along with her...My bad!!! yes I am over forty... Sorry, had too much coffee plus my dyslexia...I do type what is different from my thoughts sometimes. Thanks for pointing it out to me. 😂😂
@Lilith, I read about the tour agencies too...and read alot of bad practise amongst them. I enjoy planning my own trip and not following tour groups.
I think some fans are just very eager to conjure up false castings on their own preferences...or start a rumor which will bring out the haters like @Lilith. LMAO, it worked cause haters be roared up!!
Correcting false rumours means that I'm a hater? Yeah guess that explains why YZ fans often makes up false rumours. Because no one will pay any attention to their jiejie if they don't do so.
@Lilith Correcting false rumors…rumors are not facts to begin with so how is anyone correcting them?? lol unless your a inside person or a part of a legit news organization reporting on facts, don’t China have legit news outlet instead of what fans try to correct??
@Voo Oh? Let me ask you, how would you know whether certain info are false rumours if no one corrects them and brings up the possibility of them being false? I wonder why a certain YZ fan above is so sure that YZ rejected Boucheron offer, did she get inside news from Boucheron or just parroting what YZ fandom leaders told her? And lol, you're asking for legit news outlet for entertainment news?
@Lilith
How would I know if certain rumors are false if no one corrects them? Of course i don’t know but do You know? Like, you legit know with facts? Are you a part of the PR team or something with actual facts to support your correction?? That’s what I wanna know. Lol not that you’re just a fan taking words from another fan. Lol
And yes, it’s a serious question. Chinese Entertainment news are all rumors and not legit with facts to back them up? Unless they get busted for tax evasion by the CCP maybe. As a matter of fact, you both can be wrong, I can’t seem to trust fans who fix rumors.
@Voo Then what are you finding difficult to understand? Since you won't know those rumours are false if no one corrects them, then all the more it's important for people to debunk those rumours. Instead of asking fans to support their rumours with actual facts first (which was what I'm doing here), you are asking me to support my counterargument? Talk about not getting the priorities right.
@Voo
It’s not fair that you don’t name Darkangel as a hater also. This person is fighting hard. I’m just pointing out what I saw here.
Sure, she a hater too. Lol as if my comment made any difference to the world.
I'm not a hater, I just said the rumors were false and that she was avoiding him in a good way😂😂 so how the heck did I turn to a hater, I only defended her when I had to without even bringing down any other artists
@Lilith
Jeez, why are you so butt hurt just because I didn’t mention @ Darkangel. This commenter didn’t sound as defensive as you in their response to me. Lol you just keep going.
@Voo Look at you pretending not to get the point again. Did I reply to you before you @ me? No? Then why do you only @ me? You can continue deflecting all you want, it just makes you look stupid.
@Lilith
Let me explain again: People are creating false rumors, how are you or anyone else debunking them with what factual evidence? That’s all I want to know. What makes your words more accurate than the other person’s? Where are you getting this evidence? Through legit articles with proof? (Not topics started by fans) Or is there no such thing as factual entertainment journalism in China?
@Lilith
I love facts so if anyone can’t tell me where they got their info, their words sound like this to me: Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.
It’s how most Chinese celebrity stan who keep talking really sounds like now. So I’ll leave it at that because I know you can’t answer my question.
@Voo With logical reasoning and questioning the authenticity of their words. What evidence do they have to claim that YZ turned down an offer? Nothing. But you are here questioning MY questioning of the authenticity of their words.
I find it strange that you are so hung up about factual journalism for entertainment news when this article posted by Koala herself is about casting rumours that also have no legit articles to back up the rumours. And tabloids have long been associated with the entertainment industry in various countries, do you think their articles are legit and factual?
@Lilith
Thank you! You’re getting it. Trust me, idk who is telling me facts, Koala either, I can’t trust until official news is released and Koala does report on those too. Also, did u see my reply to XZF on Darkangel? Yeah, I don’t trust your take on correcting her rumors or her rumors. Why should I? You guys aren’t the celebs themselves or their studios. So bottom line is, stop sounding like your words are more valid than the other person because it ain’t. Koala is the blogger here, she has mainly stayed neutral rather you agree or not. Her intentions never seemed to have people fight based on what she finds to write but you all just need to work up storms in the comment sections by providing “evidence” your stan is better then the other. That’s the problem.
@Lilith
As for entertainment tabloids in various countries, yes, obviously there are media tabloids who release false information about celebs but guess what? They can easily get sued for defamation if found falsely reported. There are official news outlets who confirm rumors from legit resources, not fans from a random blogger’s comment section.
@Voo Well, then you didn't make yourself clear enough in the first place. You felt the need to only @ me while leaving YZ fans out, and then went one big round asking questions that don't make any sense. Go @ Darkangel who started it first instead of me.
@Lilith
Hey, you’re the only one who kept replying so you kept getting a response.
@Voo See, your answer don't make sense again. Scroll up and look at your first comment, it's obvious you @ me first. Unless you just want to defend YZ fans for whatever reason, then it makes sense why you're playing dumb here. Passive-aggressive tactics.
@Lilith
Since you're so affected by my comment for not including @Darkangel in my first comment, let me relieve your frustration. I quote myself:
I think some fans are just very eager to conjure up false castings on their own preferences...or start a rumor which will bring out the haters like @Darkangel and @Lilith. LMAO, it worked because the haters are all roared up!
Btw, I'm neither a YZ or XZ fan, probably seen only one project from each of them. Both are good people, probably why they are so successful. @ Darkangel admitted she ain't a hater but you...that's questionable based on your arguments against YZ in your comments, so yeah, that's what i mean when i said your being defensive and showing your true colors as a someone who does dislike YZ. Your trying too hard to make people agree with you.
@Voo LOL seems like you don't frequent this site often? I've openly voiced out my dislike for YZ team's marketing tactics here multiple times. I don't disguise my dislike for any celebrities nor make backhanded comments unlike YZ's green tea fans.
@Lilith
That's wonderful for you. Hating people who you won't ever live up to be. Jeez, sounds like a lot of wasted energy. :D
Lol I wouldn't want to be like her, thank you. I'm perfectly happy with my life as it is. I don't see it as wasting energy, it's entertainment that I'm consuming here. 😊
@Lilith,
Lies, you're obsessed with YZ. LOL you even go into other posts to try and bring up Yang Zi. LMAO.
Better than YZ fans pretending to be multiple people on this blog and still refusing to admit it when the evidence is clear as day 😜
@Lilith
Yah, I get you, you obsessed closet fan of Yang Zi's. LOL
Nah that's you, a fan pretending to be otherwise. Guess the status of being a Yang Zi's fan is too embarrassing for you? Make up your mind already, first calling me a hater, now claiming me to be a fan.
She wishes.
Also her stans are always some of the best comedy I encounter on this blog. Their 0.1 and water queen sure knows how to attract them lmao
That's EVERY Chinese celeb stan. They comedic as hell, can't take them seriously, they will think they tricked you into joining their cult.
