Yang Zi’s Next C-drama Tree of Life Now in Talks with Hu Ge as the Male Lead

View Comments

• Like I said before, even though it pissed off her fans, she refused the male lead they had so this is not surprising but no way will Hu Ge say yes. She will have to settle for way less.

  • What ML did she refused for it?

• Mey lin

• Waiting to see if it'll turn true. However, do note that female lead centric doesn't necessarily equate to female lead being first billed. There were many past examples where the first billed in female lead centric dramas weren't the female lead such as Journey of Flower and My Fair Princess.

  • Of course not. Can you imagine Hu Ge of all people being second billed to her? It's just something her team is spreading to try and make her seem important.

    It's so funny koala is saying this isn't farfetched. In the dream of Yang Zi fans maybe.

    • It seems YZ fans are hoping for equal billing. IMO it'll only be possible if YZ wins a Best Actress award before the filming, Hu Ge has multiple Best Actor awards after all...But we'll never know, there's too many factors affecting billing order nowadays.

  • @Lilith. Yes.. Female centric may not mean female list is billed first...But honestly this billing wars is so tiring... 😂😂

    I will wait and see this too. My emotions are keep in a Le Parfait Glass Jar with a Clip Top Glass lid... Very strong. 🤣🤣

  • Sometimes after I think I post a comment but it seem to not appear even after a long while...I start thinking if I actually sent the comment? Now I have habit of 'Cut and Copy' my comment in case it goes missing. I will then 'Cut and Paste' and try sending again 😂😂😂...
    I feel gaslight be the system here...🤔🤔
    😱😱

    • It happens, this site has a weird content moderation system.

• Heard this drama has been delayed to next year so everything can change. That said, the genre of the drama is boring and I would rather they collab in a wuxia.

• So glad to hear this news..
  i hope this cast really become true
  Another succsesfull drama from mainland...

• Yang Zi has a way bigger fandom and liuliang than Hu Ge.

  Let’s be real Hu Ge only gets “respect” because he’s a senior actor.

  Why should an actor be 1st billing just because of his older age?

  He’s really just a has-been.

  Not even an impressive actor.

  People like to claim that certain actors are picky about projects but isn’t the truth that they aren’t getting proper offers to be lead for S or S+ projects?

  The premise to being able to choose is to have a choice in the 1st place.

  How delusional are fans to think that lead roles for S+ dramas are handed on a platter for their geges snd jiejies to pick from lol.

  • I thank you for a solid 5 minutes laughing fit. Ah, amazing. Stans should be a subject of psych research.

  • lmao

  • Some people are crazy enough to hate on
    someone, and pretending to be a fan of certain actress/actor, lol.

  • This is so hilarious. Thank you for the laugh.

• Let's wait and see...I will keep my emotions trap under a tight lid!!!!

• Hu Ge, not Yang Zi, is the clickbait for me to read this post. LOL. I used to like both. But I don't check YZ's drama anymore, no do I have interest in any update about her. She has become a tad boring. Nonetheless, if HG is the ML besides the reputable production team, I'll see if plot and everything else are intriguing.

• What about equal billing not second billing? That solves all problems with billing. Also what if he gets paid higher for less work?

  • Billing is too important because it matters for status. He can't just accept, not should he, equal billing because that would imply she is on par with him and she is not even close. And in the future when she is equal billing with someone else, that someone could then demand equal to Hu Ge as a consequence which is a disaster waiting to happen again because she isn't what her fans think she is and she will absolutely be equal with people below HG.

• Even though I like both Yang Zi and Hu Ge, this seems unlikely.
