There is a new C-drama casting that is making waves and aptly the drama title is about a boat and a crossing. C-ent industry insiders are saying that Dylan Wang and Zhao Lu Si are in talks for period C-drama Why Not Cross By Boat (何不同舟渡 He Bu Tong Zhou Du). This casting is legit and not a melon, but currently both have received scripts and offers but whether one or both accept is still too early to know. Insiders think it’s possible to make this pairing happen but then it will be a slog to deal with the billing position and also their very respectively very vocal fandoms. It sucks there are external factors that could stymy potentially great casting choices these days, I would love to see these two in a drama together.
There’s 0 news about this on Douban so doubt it’s real. Fake plus they both are popular enough to helm their own projects, Dylan is more popular and Lusi is very insistent on 一番 so her MLs tend to be old uncles or young nugus who don’t mind play 2nd fiddle in the billing.
I saw them sitting together on weibo night. If this one were true, i wish for Bailu and Tanjianci too. A thriller crime mystery drama will do.
Both have comparable visuals. But who’s gonna be the 1st billing. I bet, fans of both wont sit still.
ohhhh Bailu and Tanjianci! Im hardly a modern Cdrama person BUT want to see them in a romcom modern drama for at least 2 years I think..
But I want to see Bailu with Victor Ma as well,I think theyre gonna be a good tandem.
Oooh Bai Lu and Tan Jianci is a pairing I can get behind! She pairs well with everyone…
Love the idea. But I don’t think it’s gonna happen because of the fandom crap. Just too bad that any potentially interesting and great pairings will hardly happen because of the fans. It’s so ironic.
Can’t they do equal billing? I would lobe to see these two together too. Fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah just do equal billing, I swear they’re making this complicated for no reason
It’s just a minor rumor, but good for them, if it turns true. May their toxic fandoms have a feast on each other.
Hahaha true! Their toxic fandoms deserve each other.
Absolutely not true. This is the exact same thing as Zhao Lusi and Cheng Yi a few days ago. Both are fake.
I do see this happening eventually, But honestly, Dylan needs to focus now for his next drama to be successful rather than getting in a fans war, he and his costar even get an award for the drama before it’s aired ,would be so embarrassing if it end up being a big flop lol
He got an award for a drama that hasn’t aired yet? What? How does that even work?!
It is an award for his next drama Guardians of the Dafeng, the most anticipated drama award for the year or something
@Marry
Oh I see, thanks. That’s not unreasonable, they do these most anticipated things all the time.
I think they would be great together, they are both so playful offscreen, would really great if this is to happen. Fingers cross!
ZLS needs to work with actors her age or younger until she loses the baby cherub look of her face. Older actors make her look even younger.
Let’s the war begin. Their toxic fandom deserve each other just so they could stop disturbing other fandom.
They are friends in real life, so I don’t think the fandom noise will affect them much if they choose to work together. Lusi filmed Pearl Girl with LYN even though her fandom didn’t care for him, so she’s been known to ignore her fandom when there’s a project and a costar she really wants to work with.
Those two and their fandoms totally deserve each other. Make it happen.
Of course it’s not just that their fandoms are notoriously toxic. The teams behind these two are both ruthless and they have no qualms using low and unethical tactics to step on people they collaborate with. Why else do you think ZLS has such a hard time finding good male co-stars now? I suspect though that WHD side won’t agree to this pairing since even his team may not be a match for her vileness and after all, who would want to act with a newly minted plastic queen with a recent big flop.
So pathetic
We get that u don’t like her but always using degenerate words to express your opinion concerning her makes u sound stupid and immature, please grow up. And every popular actors fandoms have toxic members in them, even ur so called favourite. There is no absolute saint fandoms in c ent, even the less popular will likely gain toxic fans once they gain popularity.
Wow! The vitriol coming from you and you are not a fan of the vileness that is ZLS? Hmmmm makes you think
ZLS apologists keep muddying up the waters to drag down others with this “every popular actors fandoms have toxic members in them” narrative.
While all fandoms have a few bad apples, hers is rotten to the core and well controlled by her team via a few strategically placed “fans”. It’s not about the fandom but the team behind her.
This is someone who can bombard social media platforms with hot searches to keep herself relevant, but make anything seriously negative and of consequence disappear instantaneously from the top of the hot search list. Her paid water-armies troll DB forums propping her up at the expense of others. Just like on Weibo, anytime there is a heated discussion on the forums that will be a serious hit to her reputation, it will be made to disappear by her media team. Imagine a topic on Reddit with multiple threads and hundreds or even thousands of comments completely wiped out a day later or even a few hours later. This has happened many times with ZLS and shows how powerful the capital backing her is.
I hope punched your grandmother this morning?Jaysus.
Correction: AND WHO punched your grandma this morning? My sympathies.

Now I wonder if @anon is allergic to actress’ last name, Zhao, cos she is also a number#1 slanderer of Zhao Liying. LMAO.
Nah, just like anyone can name themselves “Somebody” anyone can name themselves “Anon”. I haven’t commented on this website for more than a year, so you must have mixed me up with another account or you are trying to drag ZLY into this and make it about another “fan war”.
I have nothing bad to say about ZLY. In fact, I generally don’t have strong feelings about any celebrities, but ZLS is an exception.

But with your comment it seems you are the one who is rotten to the core. Though I’m lusi’s fan, I enjoy other actors works and appreciate them unlike someone who assumes the worst of others and loves to spread negative things without a single evidence or witness to support it.
That’s me. Yup, that’s right. I made all those posts disappear. #AmWealthy
Oh please. As if there’s any purely ‘good’ fandom in the ent industry. Every big stars have toxic members so no matter who you pair, there’ll always be those fanwars. But I for one would want to see this pairing to happen.
Didn’t they already film a drama together?
No, just an ad with Li Yun Rui
Well if or if not,😴 it’s their jobs. I think we should all learn to live our lives. I you like something you watch if not let it go without much talk. I’m learning that also and think it’s best.
Whatever they do the more you talk the more recognition you give. When I see a post about what I really don’t like I simply swipe away😂.
Dylan made me click this one though.
Number of views and clicks will just keep increasing while you think you are venting.
I have read comments from viewers who are looking forward to them both working together… It will be popular. I wonder what they will decide.
They both can act and visuals are good. Simple as it is!
Interesting casting news if it’s true! I’d love to see these two pair together. It doesn’t mean the drama will be fun and most likely it will be underwhelming bcoz that’s how most of the C dramas I’ve watched so far ended up. But I still look forward to their collaboration and hope for The Double 2.0. LOL.
The Double is quite unique… I am unsure we will see a good drama so soon.
Nothing can top The Double in a long while–the dialogue, the villains, the word-play, the mirroring of scenes. There won’t be a script so delicious coming too quickly!
Kdrama has repeatedly give me high nonstop even 2024 is largely a very uncreative year for Kdrama. I’m still finding gems here and there to watch among Kdrama archives. LOL. China definitely has talents also to repeat feasts like The Double for fans. But its system stymies the possibility.
I would love to see these two together in a drama! I’m not sure it’s this one though. I’d rather see them in a modern drama. I hate that the fandoms get in the way of a potentially good match. Both LuSi and Dylan have enough star power to star by themselves and make famous any costar.
