It looks like modern C-drama Family Business is starting filming soon as the schedules for the leads have aligned and the investors are chomping at the bit for a rare S-plus budget drama. The female lead is Yang Zi, no change, and the male lead is by all accounts Liu Yu Ning, but some say Wei Da Xun and his teams are pushing for him to get the male lead but he could also settle for the second male lead. I like all three and dislike the billing fights so whatever shakes out I will be fine with. It should end with Liu Yu Ning as the male lead as he’s done more lead roles whereas Wei Da Xun just broke out with Fireworks of the Heart last year.

YZ has basically denied it through her marketing accounts, it’s really funny. She doesn’t want him. If she will be successful in kicking him out, we have to wait and see. I love my popcorn.
Her team basically said “The next drama has not been fully confirmed yet, and the rumored co-star is not true”
Which means she is still deciding yet and if that’s the case the rumored costar definitely isn’t true cause she hasn’t accepted it yet.
Reading comprehension is important
Playing with words again LOL
@Darkangel
As I said. Do you really think people are stupid and don’t get what that means? Lmao
@Darkangel, Yang Zi is not keen on drama, or male lead? I am confused here.
@HL she is still deciding on it and so we can only wait for the official confirmation either from her, her team or the official drama team
Why would she not like LYN, in he past she recommended him for a role cause she thought he had potential so no bad blood between her and him jdjn
@Darkangel… Ya, she knows Liu Yuning as he has been around for a while as a singer…thus I surprised when I thought she did not accept him as her lead. Yang Zi dont really play such games.
So she is undecided about this role as yet. Will just wait and see. No hurries.
＠Guest it is simple English LOL
What is wrong with having LYN as male lead?
Nothing is wrong with having him as a costar but it all depends whether she likes the script enough to act it and besides there are other negotiations too that happens underneath
What is causing the mess is the fact that some accounts are disguising as yang so fans to say shit about him which cause a little bit of friction btw the 2 fandoms but they have already been exposed and everyone is still waiting for the official confirmation cause that is the important thing
Aware we gonna see LYN in every Chinese drama?
He is getting cast in almost every drama these days…
Happy for the guy but people will get whiplash warching him with different females leads every month!!!!
@ Rei ,lol , he is definitely going to be overexposed at some point which happens to most of the Chinese stars because of their back to back on shooting dramas.
@Lol Seriously gurl; she accepted many no_bodies actors like her costars in ‘Lost You Forever”, why wouldn’t she want to play next to LYN, BS
Difference is those actors are nugu but visually attractive. LYN prob doesn’t fit the latter part.
Please do not use your sense of beauty to represent the general populace, there are many people who find LYN visually attractive
This is a imaginary “if” but if Tan Song Yun was portraying the female lead, Wei Daxun would have a much better chance at male lead, since they have been such good friends for years.
The good thing about being in demand like YZ is that one drama gets delayed and she has another one lined up right away. This shows that investors trust her data and not everything is water like haters say. But one thing I noticed about her fans, is they are easy to accuse others of marketing when YZ team does the same, there is a reason most of her co stars fandom don’t like their faves working with her. That being said I don’t think she is doing anything that different from others, just rules of the game.
From a investor point of view…Yang Zi is a safe investment. Dilraba is another… It does not matter what we as international think, it is the locals and the datas that matters.
To be honest, I feel these 2 actress did work hard to reach this status. Money was not thrown at them initially. They worked hard to show the locals who they are thru variety shows and being supporting casts. It helps many producers enjoy working with these 2 actresses as they are basically very nice, hardworking and professional artistes. No bells and whistles to deal with. Scandal free actresses.
Zheng Shuang is a good example of a brand that is created with money. In those years, due to her looks, Zheng Shuang had capitalist investing lots of money to groom her brand. She is such a bad actress with a attitude but she was still very popular with strong fandom. She is a product of investment.
No offence intended.
Every actor and actress signed to agencies with well connected managers are products of capital, DLRB and YZ are hardworking girls but they had their agencies invest heavily in them. It doesn’t matter if you come from a poor or rich background your agency power is what’s important. I don’t think is fair to single out Zheng Shuang as a capital actress, her resources were not that different from others at their peak. This is not because I’m a fan I think her kids case is horrible so not an actress I miss.
@Lizzy8, I used Zheng Shuang as a example only because I watched a ‘Documentary’ on this afew years back…the person did quite a detail investigations on how Capitalist mould current China Entertainment industry.
This documentary was air before the China new censorship policies were in placed. The journalist did use Zheng Shuang as one example on how she was lucky to have caught the eye of a famous China/HK investor, with his help, he build the Zheng Shuang brand to the level she became. In fact, her acting and talents were very lacking but her looks was appealing to the big young target market. I believe Kris Wu was also another example. I learnt alot from the program..
I believe this same person may be one of the infamous name in Kris Wu’s black book. Kris Wu went to visit him when he was in trouble. but was shut out. I forgot the investors’s name, he is very good friends with Jackie Chan.
That program was a eye opener for me…
Yes,that true, most international viewers have little informations about their entertainment and how it works so they create their opinions on the little information they have which do not hold enough weight to it and feels like childless thoughts and tantrums.
If u r someone who digs for information on c ent, u can even know that koala don’t have enough informations about it either. Some of her post don’t have true in them or the rumours she decides to post about are lies.
Until it’s confirmed from official and reliable accounts, it’s all rumours.
I don’t think it’s worth to lose brain power over rumours.
It’s entertaining seeing the fandoms of Chinese actresses and actors behaving like KPOP’s fandoms. Humans are insane, aren’t they? lmao
The good thing is that LYN have the habit to burn rumours created by haters with the intention to ruin his reputation during his live broadcasts on whichever video platform he happen to be doing a live session.
I think it’s a good idea for people here to watch his lives maybe even ask him directly straight to his face if you got courage, he might say it’s all lies Or just confirm it as truth.
@ Jiao, humans feeds on negativity than positively and a lot of people know this , so they used it to their advantage including blog sites.
Nothing against LYN at all, but he looks booked and busy anyway. I would love it to go to WDX because he is a good actor that deserves some opportunities to lead.
I wonder if LYN has very strong backing and connections. Per the posts on this site, why am I getting an impression that actresses don’t like to work with him but he’s still getting a lot of meaty roles? LMAO.
Well I would suggest you don’t rely on a single site for all your information. Cross checking is an important skill.
Jia Ye/Family Business is a historical drama not a modern drama as stated by this article. Some other information from this site is very outdated too.
Industry insiders who have worked with LYN before have had only good things to say about him. Of course if you would rather believe the malicious rumours spread black marketing accounts who have never met him vs those who have worked with him, you are welcome to.
@Hui, thanks for sharing from different perspectives. As far as I know, Koala is more a fan of LYN than a naysayer cos she praised him a lot for his role in A Journey to Love. She has posted so much update about LYN is also one indication that she is interested in his casting news.
I don’t bother picking up a non-skill skill LOL to just confirm showbiz news cos it is placed on the bottom among all my entertainment options. Besides, rumors everywhere in the showbiz. But thanks for sharing from different angles.
Lmao idk about the actresses themselves (they prob don’t dare to say anything) but I’ve never seen any fandom being happy when there are rumors LYN is cast alongside their idol. TXW’s fandom even celebrated when her rumored project with LYN was cancelled. ITs simply cos he’s ugly.
ZLS recommended LYN for the role in TLOPG. Unfortunately her fans weren’t appreciative and bashed him badly.
As for TXW, it wasn’t only her fandom that celebrated. LYN’s fandom also celebrated, since TXW fans were insulting him all the time.
TXW has been vehemently rejected by ZLH’s fans for their latest project Zhu Yu. I wonder why?
Like I said, actresses and their fans have different reasons. Her fans mostly find him ugly.
Also for TXW, I suppose its not because she’s ugly like LYN I suppose? You can tell us why so Koala can write about this new casting rumor.
Well I find TXW really pretty and LYN gorgeous so perhaps the fans who are rejecting her might have a warped sense of beauty and think she’s ugly? I can’t fathom what goes on in the ugly minds of people who like to bash others for their looks.
This is a pairing I didn’t think of but looks so good. I’ll just have eto wait for the confirmation post from the official sites
international fans are only interested in positive news about their favorite artist and go deaf/blind to anything that is not. those that really follow c-ent know well that YZ reputation and standing in c-ent is a bit more complicated. Her ‘top fans’ are professional fans directly handled by her studio.
These ‘professional fans’ usually prompt and herd the fandom to act according to the direction she wanted.
Good example was when YZ was caught ‘fornicating’ in 4k with Liu Xueyi（刘学义）at midnight in LXY apartment in Hengdian which occupied the Weibo hot search for days!. To distract the netizens from the fornicating ‘scandal’ and YZ getting tag as ‘third-party’ as LXY was rumored to be in-relationship with another actress at that time, Yang Zi directly instructed her professional fans posted to create a diversion by simultaneously posting copy pasta rumor about her ex-colleague , a ‘A Lister Male Star dating his Manager’. But the attempt to divert the attention got failed as Yang Zi already complicated reputation just got dragged more because netizens dug YZ past of selling pity and ruining the career of actress Zhang Xueying. If you want more deets just search the ‘Hu Spicy Soup’ incident
From your name alone we all know you are a butthurt troll, stay pressed and I hope you take time to heal from your mental illness of spreading lies about yang Zi. Girly is enjoying her life to the fullest and being happy, do the same
