C-netizens Note the Change in Body Language and Camaraderie From Dylan Wang to Tian Xi Wei From Before Airing of Guardians of the Dafeng to After Premiere
The C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng isn’t just an oddball in terms of the tone and plot, which I love, but its performance after airing is also really hard to pin down. It’s not an undisputed hit male lead Dylan Wang hoped for like his Love Between Devil and Fairy but does have heat and is doing good numbers in viewership despite the mixed reviews. A funny aside is that the production actually popped champagne in advance celebration right before the drama aired and now that has become a cautionary tale in the industry, and reported Yang Yang and the production of soon-to-air The Immortal Ascension was going to do that and has scraped it lol. Back to Guardians tho, the leads Dylan and Tian Xi Wei got a lot of buzz least year during filming when they attended a Tencent awards show being super cute and flirty with very close body language and basically throwing candy for future shipper fans. But this year the two attended a Tencent award show last week where it was night and day to last year, with Dylan being noticeably more distant and occasionally cold-faced next to Tian Xi Wei (clearer in videos). The word on the street is that once Guardians aired both decided it didn’t help their own careers to sell their character ship to fans so have not embarked on that path and Tian Xi Wei has moved on to selling the future ship with either Xu Kai in their finished and soon to air drama Moonlit Reunion and with Zhang Ling He in their just started filming drama Chasing Jade.
I don’t blame them though. The show barely showcases their romance anyways. Not everything has to be all lovey dovey. Sometimes it helps but really they should just promote camaraderie instead cause that was the drama show cases the most.
It’s better to show a friendly and respectful behaviour than pretend that actors are incredibly close. It’s actually cringey when they “fry CP”. 😬 Ships are good for actresses but not for male actors. When it’s time for them to promote another drama, all the crazy shippers will slander them. Take Dylan. Believe it or not there are still a lot of shippers of him and his first partner from 6 years ago and, of course, a lot more with Ester. What’s the result? They always fight, but Dylan is the ultimate jerk. Where there were no shippers, he’s still very good friends with his partners. Irene Song, Qin Lan, Bai Lu. What I really like is how respectful he is towards his female colleagues.
“ships are good for actresses but not actors” seriously , I see more actresses getting the big share of hate from the the actor fans after their baes get connect with them , rarely it’s the opposite so IDK what are you even talking ab.
When a drama airs, I always see the actress fans cooing over how cute the couple is while actor fans only coo over their actor. Why do actress fans join in on the shipping but rarely actor fans? Because actresses depend on ships to attract female fans whereas actors attract fans directly through their visuals/personality/drama role.
I reallly like how he is still warmhearted and easy going with his old partner Shen Yue & Qing Lan.Whenever there is a small moments between them behind the screen or variety shows I enjoy is to the fullest.
Eh eh? I thought he traveled all the way to her birthday party once. That’s when the rumors really heated up. They would make a cute couple, though, at least aesthetically.
This is so funny , did they really thought that their ship gonna be something when they barely had any scenes together, the drama is fine but there are so many unnecessary characters and Dylan’s take way too much of the plot just talking
I’m more interested in the two dramas of Yang Zi and Bai Lu respectively that just premiered. GotD is a collection of forced slapstick that isn’t up my alley. The last time I can recall enjoying a comedy/crime mix is when watching the Fiery Priest I.
People really shouldn’t be doing body language “analysis”. There’s no science, It’s just confirmation bias. Even if tian Xiwei and Dylan aren’t planning to be close after dafeng airs, that’s fine, it’s their business. TBH the intense shipping of real people that c-ent encourages (and that fans perpetuate) troubles me.
