Yang Yang Rumored as Male Lead for Period C-drama Why Not Cross by Boat with Female Lead Potentially Song Zu Er or Zhang Miao Yi
This was a great summer for C-actor Yang Yang, redeeming his last lackluster drama outing of Fireworks of the Heart with a resounding hit in The Immortal Ascension. So it’s no surprise that lots of drama male lead roles are headed his way and there will likely be melons aplenty until he picks the next one. This week there is industry casting rumor that he will be the male lead for big budget Tencent period C-drama Why Not Cross by Boat, which has been in development for close to two years and other actors at some point being rumored for it. There are two actresses also being mentioned as potentially being the female lead, Song Zu Er and Zhang Miao Yi. Lol, so the production has the teeny tiny pixie spitfire type in mind for this role. Both are strong actresses and visually would pair well with Yang Yang, so let’s see how it shakes out.





I can’t picture either actress with yang yang. Just seems to odd of a pairing. Sounds like simply rumors. Out of the two though song zuer might be chosen since she succeeded most recently.
I know both actresses are almost the same age, but Zhang Miao-yi comes off as much younger and would feel too young next to Yang Yang. Still, I like both actresses!
Song Zuer? She would destroy him on screen and with his ego he would never allow that.
Ego? What are you talking about? He’s always worked in ensemble cast and has never minded when supporting characters got better highlights than his own. Stop spreading misinformation
Him and Song Zuer would look good together for sure but im not sure of Yang Yang’s acting chops, I’ve only seen him in Love O2O. Zuer on the otherhand is always brilliant in any role, i have no doubt in her acting prowess.
That really old drama… I think his acting has improved a lot since then (at least to me)..
