There is a reason why the abused stay with the abuser for way longer than they should, and the same goes for artists stuck with Yu Zheng who does a lot to make his stars famous but also milks each star to the max. This week Yu Zheng went on a publicity rant about the drama Tang Palace Strange Cases … Continue reading →
So there is movement on a C-drama highly sought after due to the topic and the production team. The drama is titled Tang Gong 唐宫 or Tang Palace and is from the production company and team of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty. It’s a Tang dynasty investigative drama with palace intrigue and episodic stories. The leads being courted is Bai … Continue reading →
So word in the industry is that C-actress Bai Lu is always in dating scandals not of her own side doing. Many actors and actresses will personally leak dating rumors to drum up interest and publicity but for her it’s not that, it’s more that she has really good chemistry with her onscreen costars and maybe could have dated one … Continue reading →
C-actor Wang Xing Yue has two male lead dramas on deck but after his breakout with The Double he’s landed a big IP new one for his next role. He will be the male lead for C-drama Feng Yu Ling (凤羽令) which is adapted from the novel by writer Fresh Guo Guo which is the precursor novel 仙侠奇缘之杀阡陌to her novel … Continue reading →
Producer Yu Zheng has been hyping up Lin Jiang Xian (formerly There is a Fox in Hengmen) for months now and I’m not allergic to his dramas on principle but other than The Double I really haven’t seen anything that made me want to watch and this one falls into that latter category as well. The character posters released earlier … Continue reading →
So the better than expected reception for revenge period C-drama The Double has led to producer Yu Zheng being on cloud nine and even more outspoken than usual. He released new stills this week for Dragon Boat Festival for his currently filming C-drama Lin Jiang Xian (临江仙) formerly called There is a Fox in Hengmen. I have no idea what’s … Continue reading →
Oh how things change, and yet stay the same. I am loving The Double greatly and for the first time a performance and character by Wu Jin Yan, though by all accounts she rocketed to stardom 6 years ago in Story of Yanxi Palace in precisely the same playbook – cunning and resourceful woman navigating treacherous waters while plotting revenge. … Continue reading →
So one good aspect of producer Yu Zheng being a mega hype artist for his own dramas is that he is on top of sharing new promos. Two new stills are out for the period C-drama Lin Jiang Xian (formerly A Fox in Hengmen) starring Bai Lu and Zeng Shun Xi and both look so much better and less uncanny … Continue reading →
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin and The Glory, which beyond the hyperbole just seems like so unrelated as this is a xianxia drama and those are just different genres lol. He just wrapped filming for ensemble period C-drama Perfect Match but has already started filming for xianxia C-drama Lin Jiang … Continue reading →
Man, watching C-drama producer Yu Zheng being the pompous troll that he is may be more entertaining than this drama end product. The xianxia C-drama Lin Jiang Xian (formerly Heng Men You Hu or There is a Fox in Hengmen) commenced filming this week with leads Bai Lu and Zeng Shun Xi (Joseph Zeng) who theoretically should be fine together, … Continue reading →
So this is an unsurprising and could really happen and I think both sides fan would be happy. C-ent casting rumors have Luo Yun Xi in talks for a S+ level drama and his side is very interested to cast Bai Lu as the female lead. If this casting happens it would be their third time together after Love is … Continue reading →
So it’s usually a year to even two years for a big budget (S or A level) C-drama to air after wrapping filming. That includes time for post-production, submitting for second/final approval, and then finding the right slot. So for C-dramas that finished filming in late 2023 and now early 2024, I don’t expect to see it onscreen until 2025 … Continue reading →
So I’m all about second male leads and supporting actors getting their change to level up to the lead limelight and I guess it’s time for Ao Rui Peng. The issue is I don’t understand his appeal (yet) so forgive me for thinking Bai Lu is downgrading with him as her male lead in her next drama the xianxia series … Continue reading →
