Yes sure!

Yeah… let’s think positively! 😆 At least we probably won’t have to wait too long for his next drama next year. And honestly, it’s a good thing that he keeps getting booked and staying busy, especially during a downturn for long-form dramas when platforms have become much more selective about approving new projects🤞

So yeah… I’ll try to focus on the bright side for now 😂

Talking about CD!!! man where is my CD?? tencent!!

I don't think both are S+

Ikr!! 😂 At least it’s his own production, so fingers crossed that he won’t mess up the script or anything else, for that matter… 🤞

And I just came across YZ’s Weibo from a couple of days ago and he mentioned that this drama has six main characters or six leads?! SIX?! 😭 What?!

Sorry, but I’m really not a fan of dramas with too many leads. I always worry that the story will become too scattered and everyone will be fighting for screen time. And on top of that, I still don’t fully trust YZ… damn, I’m so torn right now 😭

Wait!! five dramas?! LOL 🤣 I know you guys love him, but please let the man rest sometimes! 😂

Anyway, if the police drama is really happening, is it actually confirmed yet? 👀 then we’ll have a police drama, followed by a costume idol drama… So how about a modern romance next? LOL 😂 I need some variety here!

Yeah… he’s come this far without ever acting in an S+ drama! Amazing!?!?

I don’t even know what to think anymore LOL 😂

First, it’s “Yeah!! CZY is going to act with Bai Lu!!” And then immediately after that… “Wait, but it’s a drama produced by YZ?!” 😭

And I still remember what happened last year, when YZ made those insulting remarks about CZY and acted like he would hardly get cast in dramas. Then CZY went on to land a drama with the goddess WCR anyway 😂 And now, YZ is actually the one casting CZY in his drama with Bai Lu!!! Like… what is even going on?! What kind of plot twist is this? 😂

YZ, I’ll be watching you 👀 Don’t you dare bully my man, and don’t use him for any hidden agenda! If you pull anything shady with him, I’m going to be cursing you all over again!!! 😤

👍👍👍

Yep... just don’t mind them 😅 Let’s save our energy for cheering CZY on in his next project instead 😉

Yes!!! I’m actually looking forward to the official announcement.
Once it finally comes out, hopefully everything that’s unclear right now will become much clearer and people can finally move on from all these rumors and arguments.

At least... I hope they’ll move on real soon. And let CZY goes... please 🙏🙏🙏

If he’s really as ugly, feminine-looking and incapable of having chemistry with anyone as they claim then why are they so upset that CZY might not be the ML for this drama? 😂
If they genuinely believe all those things they’ve been saying about him, shouldn’t they be happy about it? so confuse right? 🤣

Then YZ can eventually find a super handsome, masculine-looking ML who magically has amazing chemistry with everyone. Problem solved 🙃

I think a lot of CZY fans would actually be happy to see him work with Bai Lu. Their issue isn’t really with her, they just don’t like YZ or have concerns about his projects. That’s basically it.

Most of them are focused on CZY and his career rather than trying to drive away every FL whenever he gets a new role. And honestly, CZY has been on the receiving end of this kind of behavior too. Whenever a new drama is announced, there are sometimes fans from the actress’s side who start dragging him, as if they need to put one actor down in order to lift the other one up.

So either way, even if CZY were confirmed as the ML, he would probably get dragged by some people anyway 😅 That’s just how these fandom wars go. There’s no point taking every comment too seriously, just bear with the noise for a while, focus on the actor we support and eventually move on.

They’re actually the ones undervaluing Bai Lu with this kind of behavior, because no one has even said anywhere that CZY doesn’t want to work with her. They basically came to that conclusion by themselves and then got upset over something that was never even said 😅

If they really value Bai Lu, they shouldn’t care so much about who the ML is or why CZY may or may not take the drama. They should focus on Bai Lu herself and hope she gets a good role, a good script and a project that truly benefits her career.

Instead of worrying about whether CZY rejected the drama or trying to turn it into “he doesn’t want to work with Bai Lu,” I’d be more concerned about how YZ plans to handle the project and whether Bai Lu will actually be treated well as the FL, rather than being used to serve whatever other plans or priorities the production may have.

Honestly, CZY’s decision about whether to take a particular project has nothing to do with Bai Lu’s value as an actress. They are two separate things.
Even I want this project to turn out well for her because I like Bai Lu too and I genuinely hope she gets a good project that does justice to her as an actress whether CZY is part of it or not 🙂

And this will probably continue for a while until they finally announce the real ML. Then they’ll let CZY go and move on to attacking the new ML instead lol 😭 That’s CN fandom as we all know... there’s always some new battle happening every single day. It honestly feels like a war zone sometimes 🫤

Some fans on Weibo are usually reacting like this, but please don’t make it personal toward Bai Lu. It has nothing to do with her. My concern has always been more about YZ, the project itself, and everything that could potentially come with it. And maybe CZY himself already knows what kind of situation he could be walking into if he takes this drama.

But anyway, all of this is still just a rumor. There hasn’t been any official announcement yet. Some people are being overly protective of Bai Lu because they seem to interpret the rumor as CZY not wanting to work with her, but I really don’t think that’s the point at all.

I’m pretty sure CZY would consider working with Bai Lu if the right project came along. If he really did turn down this particular drama, it doesn’t automatically mean he rejected it because he didn’t want to work with her. He had already talked about wanting to try a more serious modern drama when he was asked about his next project a while ago, so if this rumor is true, it could simply be about the direction he wants to take with his career next.

What confuses me is... I thought some of them didn’t want CZY to work with her in the first place, but now they’re upset because he might actually not be starring with her? 😭😂 I’m a little confused lol.

In C-ent, anything can happen, and with YZ’s marketing tactics and connections, who knows? Let’s just wait and see...

Exactly!! That’s why, deep down, I really don’t want him to take this project😭 I’m actually hoping his name is just being used to generate buzz and that the role eventually goes to someone else entirely.

I’m honestly so tired of all these multiple CP romance dramas and everything that comes with them 😅 I just want to follow CZY’s next drama in peace, enjoy his new role and focus on his acting without all the unnecessary drama surrounding it 😭

Romance dramas with good chemistry and intimate scenes can be really popular when they’re done right😂 People are desperate for some romance and escapism from the hardships of real life which I honestly understand. Sometimes audiences just want something sweet and enjoyable to watch instead of another heavy story.

Serious dramas, on the other hand are usually harder to make popular with mainstream international audiences unless they manage to reach a much wider audience through platforms like Netflix. And even then, the story and production have to be interesting enough to attract viewers who may not normally watch Chinese dramas. There’s simply less room for a serious Chinese drama to become a big international hit compared with an easily accessible romance drama.

Domestically in China, though, it’s a different story. Serious dramas can absolutely become huge hits there too. It really depends on the subject, script, production quality, cast, timing and whether the drama connects with the general audience or not.

He already had a huge hit with HL on Youku before. And to be fair, HL reached around 42.33M average views per episode during its peak airing period which is still something no other modern romance drama on Youku has managed to catch up with yet. And internationally, HL was a huge success as well.

And that was despite all the negative marketing and smear campaigns surrounding HL while it was airing. I was on Weibo at the time, the negativity was everywhere. It discouraged some viewers because they assumed the drama was bad and didn’t even give it a chance. Later, many people discovered that HL was actually really, really good, but by then it had already passed its peak airing period, so those later views weren’t reflected in that average-view figure. Without all that negativity at the time, who knows how much higher the viewership could have gone, maybe even close to 50M per episode.

So I don’t think he necessarily needs another explosive modern romance hit right away. He already has HL on his record 😅 And nowadays, no one can really know in advance whether a drama will become a hit or not anyway. There are so many factors involved script, production, timing, platform promotion, audience reception and sometimes just luck.

For me, I’d rather see him choose a good role and continue growing as an actor than chase another “hit” just for the sake of having one.

Maybe there’ll be only one, lol... 😂 But who knows with iQiyi?
They’ve never really seemed to cherish or appreciate CZY that much anyway.
When it comes to CZY and iQiyi, I’ve learned to keep my expectations low 😅
