Tencent Confirms November 25th Release of Duoluo Continent Sequel Drama The Land of Warriors with Zhou Yi Ran and Zhang Yu Xi — 12 Comments

  1. I mean wouldn’t it be annoying if they made it a whole other series. The last series left it at such a cliff hanger I’m sure most would want to know what happens next. It suck the other characters are too busy and too important to continue a sequel but you gotta do what you gotta do. Though the main actress is a hit and miss and the main actor as well. She always seems to look the same to me though and I don’t notice the age difference by these stills. They both look fairly young to me and she has always been a mature beauty in my eyes because it has been her image since day 1.

  2. This pairing is not visually bad as in comparison to the LJJ and LJY. I’m not a fan of both leads nor will I tune in for this drama, but I wouldn’t have noticed the age gap if you had not mention it.

  3. Zhang Yu Xi looks young but because she always play sensible and serious roles so she may carry a mature vibe.

    Between Zhang Yu Xi and Wu Jin Yan, Zhang is definitely more youthful looking.

    And in The Double, WJY (34) is 12 years older than Wang Xing Yue (22) and she definitely looks older than her age on screen. I had a hard time accepting WJY in the Double, as a young unmarried woman like 16 years old. I think in the novel Wu Jin Yan’s character is supposed to be 14 years old.

    To be frank, since WJY looks older and haggard, so it’s best they find more compatible actors.

    In the case of Zhang Yu Xi in Duoluo, I prefer her playing a more sensible than cutesy role as what Wu Xuan Yi did. Anyway it’s a Xianxia so age doesn’t matter.

    • In the drama, Jiang Li was 28 (having been in Zhennue Tang for ten years since 8 years old) and she called Xue Fang Fei jiejie and so XFF’s age ranged from 19 to early 20s, depending on how you calculate the scholar exam stuff as well as any assumption of ML being older than her.

    • It’s ok for Wu Jin Yan to play the role of Xue Fang Fei, a married woman around 28 years old.

      In the novel it makes sense coz WJY’s soul transmigrated into Jiang Li’s 14 year old body.

      But since Yu Zheng dropped the rebirth / transmigration plot, we are stuck with WJY. Anyway for some, they can accept the changes, assuming that he age up Jiang Li.

      But in ancient China, it’s impossible to be an unmarried noble girl beyond 16 years old. And how was the father or family can acceot a woman who looks like 34 year old woman claiming she is Jiang Li? Anyway that’s Yu Zheng, making a 34 year old woman who looks her age to play an unmarried 14-16 year old girl. Frankly she even looks same age with Joe Chen who played the step mother.

      A fact is a fact, WJY does not have a youthful look to carry off that role, but because YZ is finally willing to promote her, he puts her into a popular adaptation so that she could revive her career.
      I just hope YZ wouldn’t give her such roles again. Now that WJY is a married mother to be… is he gonna stretch our imaginations again?

      But as for Zhao Lu Si, she certainly look very youthful so she could easily play a teenage noble girl in Love Like The Galaxy.

      Zhang Yuxi is very pretty like Wu Xuan Yi so it’s no problem for her to take over the role of Xiao Wu.

      • I would like (and wish for Christmas present) for Zhao LuSi in Malicious Empress paired with Tan JianCi‘s Marquis Xie. They would look good together and both can emote like no other, esp for the characters of this novel.

  4. I don’t think zhang yuxi visually looks less than wu xuanyi. From what I see on the trailer she is fine. I think zhou yiran is more worrying, he is gonna get compared to xiao zhan, and even not compared he didn’t make any impression for me in the trailer. Well everything depends on the story anyway

  5. they’ve upgraded the female leads for sure lol. visually, both are much meatier to look at than the original. no comments to the mls; the roles weren’t difficult to play to begin with, so i don’t think it makes much of a difference. the source material is HUGE in china, so i can understand pouring money into the sequel. i personally found the animation/drama/novel kind of…boring? but it was groundbreaking apparently, which is why its following is so huge. fantasy is my thing, and i watched the first one, so i guess i’ll tune into the sequel

  6. Tencent is desperate to make Zhou Yiran into another Xiao Zhan. They have been pushing him with all their might and connections. It’s very amusing but what a waste of money.
