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 →
The first big C-ent party of 2024 was this weekend with the 2023 Weibo Night celebration that brought out nearly all the popular stars in the industry. Yang Zi and Zhu Yi Long took home the top awards Weibo Queen and King but it’s a popularity award of course. The rest of the awards all fete the stars with notable … Continue reading →
So it will be 4th time the charm for Wang Xing Yue in terms of getting the girl in a drama if she’s played by Bai Lu. The same agency stars have worked together three times before but she was always the female lead and he a supporting role, but their next drama will elevate him to be her male … Continue reading →
So the are they dating news from last year during the filming of Story of Kunning Palace is basically all but confirmed with leads Bai Lu and Zhang Ling He. And the end result was the drama was fantastic and their chemistry was fantastic, win and win. But before the drama aired the rumor was the two had broken up … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2023 iQiyi Scream Awards held in Macau and the young and pretty C-stars were out in attendance. This was a streaming platform event so the winners isn’t anything more that the platform paid to do their productions or will be doing one so it was more a social event than anything. I’m there for the C-actress … Continue reading →
This is an interesting drama to dissect because there are clearly so much elements at play. Modern workplace romance C-drama Only for Love with Bai Lu and Dylan Wang finished airing this week and a happy ending did nothing to help this drama elevate it’s uniformly bad reviews. I think even Dylan fans just stayed quiet because trying to compliment … Continue reading →
