So for the last six months or so word within C-ent was that the production of The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage was going to get Dilraba Dilmurat as the female lead. That would make it an S++ level production and female lead centric. But that apparently isn’t going to happen due to her schedule and other … Continue reading →
So C-ent is going crazy with the third Tian Xi Wei male lead to also have a romance scandal. In the span of three weeks it was future male lead Hu Yi Tian from Genius Girlfriend, then current male lead Xu Kai in Moonlit Reunion, and now it’s her last male lead Dylan Wang in Guardians of the Dafeng. Come … Continue reading →
There’s a very fun casting melon that came up this week and I for one would love to see this pairing. Song Zu Er has been in talks for the Tencent Republic era period C-drama Ah Zhi Ah Zhi adapted from the same name novel and now the platform wants Dylan Wang as the male lead. If he joins the … Continue reading →
I continue to marvel at how much pull C-actor Dylan Wang has with any new project. He’s attached and it just rockets up interest and the daipai (photogs) on set pile on to produce copious amounts of pictures from any drama he’s filming. Mango TV streaming and Hunan TV terrestrial airing period C-drama Live Long and Prosper (咸鱼飞升 Salted Fish … Continue reading →
I appreciate Hunan TV for making the effort to kick off super early promos for its currently filming C-drama Live Long and Prosper. This is a big male lead IP project with top billed Dylan Wang along with Li Qin as the female lead. The teaser poster and preview just released is understated with artistic flourishes, I like it a … Continue reading →
Well this went from must watch to likely will watch with the switch up of the female lead. Period C-drama Live Long and Prosper has basically inked Dylan Wang for the last two months and earlier on the female lead in talks as Dai Lu Wa after her breakout as the second female lead in Moonlight Mystique. It’s a big … Continue reading →
After watching the entire debacle that is When the Stars Gossip recently, space and sci-fi is currently on my shit list or at least has made me intensely wary of it especially coming out of Asian productions. China will be airing a big budget space and sci-fi movie this July during the summer season titled Per Aspera Ad Astra is … Continue reading →
Another period C-novel is getting an adaptation its called The Adventure of Jian Chou (Chinese title Wo Bu Cheng Xian 我不成仙 or I am Not an Immortal). Despite Dylan Wang being rumored for two other dramas, this one is also courting him as the male lead so the boy has no shortage of scripts to pick from. The female lead … Continue reading →
The casting is going fast for this drama which makes sense if it is reportedly going to start filming next month in March 2025. Industry insiders are saying Dai Lu Wa will be the female lead in period C-drama Live Long and Prosper, which is a big male lead IP project that has inked Dylan Wang as his next leading … Continue reading →
So the end result of Guardians of the Dafeng is more hit than flop and that must be a relief for Dylan Wang. He’s reportedly in talks for his next drama also a xianxia piece titled Live Long and Prosper (Chinese title Xian Yu Fei Sheng or Salted Fish Rising 咸鱼飞升) adapted from the novel of the same name. He … Continue reading →
It’s rarer and rarer to see huge budget S+ level C-dramas as the economy is also not throw money at entertainment level it used to be, so the end of December came the first big male lead led period drama with Guardians of the Dafeng starring Dylan Wang marketed as a make or break it type of project. The early … Continue reading →
Period c-drama Guardians of the Dafeng is now on the second half of its airing and has some notable and ignominious records as of this week. The drama hit the 30,000 heat index on Tencent which certifies it as a major hit for the platform, but at the same time the opening Douban ratings are out and its a low … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
