So far is a rumor. We have to remember that Chinese netizens create a lot of rumors. In the past, there was a rumor that said that The Untamed was going to be banned. And it was indeed false, because The Untamed has given China's industry a lot of success. It wouldn’t make sense that they'll ban it at the last moment.

So, I feel like this rumor of Immortality might also be false. It already went through censorship, why go twice? If it was already checked and it was good to go, there's no point in checking again what was already checked once carefully.

I believe this rumor was just past around by nitizens that are panicking because the airing date has been pushed back so many times. But don't worry. We'll soon be able to watch it. Let's keep waiting patiently.

Ooh I see. I guess they will have to turn him into a demon and not a Ghost(?)

Are you sure? Because in the new drama "Word of Honor" there are ghosts, and it passed censorship.

Honestly, I'm glad you agreed with me. Idk why people say that Luhan has not improved. I have watched most of his dramas and also the new one "Crossfire" and I do have to admit that he has indeed improved over the years. But I guess other people have different opinions about this. And I don’t mind. I just believe that anyone who is picked for Xie Lian should do a great job with the help of the team and the director. Let's all support this drama no matter who the actors are. We are in this together after all.

I understand your point. And many people have different opinions, and thats totally fine. I just wanted to say my opinion about the rumors going on, I don’t really know how this went to this topic. Also, we shouldn't judge any actor that is chosen, because at the end of the day, the director knows what he is doing. I just hope that the actor is chosen is a good one. Regardless of who it is, it doesn't matter if it's Luhan or whoever it is, I know they will do well because I really want to have hope for this live action.

Can we not forget about the fact that Wang Yibo was also a beginner when he participated in The Untamed? We shouldn't judge an actor by its acting because we might be surprised. Also, I personally think that he is a good actor, but the dramas he has acted are not good because of the effects but not because of his acting. But whoever it is, i just hope they do well.

*Breathes deeply* Omg I can't wait for it to come out. I'm so anxious :'D

Honestly, we'll just have to wait and see who will be chosen. Like I said, the rumor of him saying "No thank you." Doesn't really make sense at all. He wouldn't have gotten involved if he didn't want to be Xie Lian, but he did. So I do believe we can have some hope for him. We'll see very soon. :)

Ok, I just wanted to say something that I think is pretty logical. I hope that some people understand, and agree with what I got to say.

So, as we all know, Luhan sung the opening ost for Heaven Official's Blessing 2nd season's donghua. And everyone was amazed and excited. There's a rumor going around stating that Luhan sung this song only to say: "Thank you, but no thank you." In other words, that he sung the song just to not make people sad but he actually doesn't want to be the role.

I'm going to say my opinion on this. I believe this rumor is FALSE. The reason I believe this is because I know Luhan's personality very well. I know he wouldn't sing a song to give hope to people and then tell them "No thank you." That's not how he is. Is logical that if he didn't want to be Xie Lian from the start, he wouldn't have considered to get involved from the start. However, he did get involved and sung the song for us. I believe he likes the story very well, and I also believe that he would be that type of person that will accept an opportunity like this. Come on, we all know that this project will become very successful, I'm pretty sure Luhan knows that too. He wouldn't want to waste an opportunity like this, especially because many fans support him to be Xie Lian.

To conclude, I believe that Luhan sung the song of the opening of Heaven Official's Blessing as if to say: "Thank you for the support, I'll try my best."

Now, we just have to wait for who the director will choose as Xie Lian. Cause we know that there's many people auditioning for the roles. Regardless of who it is, I just hope they are good actors and that they can portray the roles well.

Is not that they took back the cast, the thing is that the cast that was placed was just a rumor. Nothing confirmed yet. Once is confirmed, all the actors should be confirmed not only three. There's no official confirmation just yet. We still have until April 30th which is the day they will close auditions to choose the actors.

Hello guys! I'm here just to let you guys know that the actors that were placed as the cast are just rumors and is NOT official nor it was announced either. So please don't get too excited nor feel disappointed because this most probably will change. Idk why it was posted here if it wasn't even officially announced yet.

OMG YASSS! THIS DESERVES A CELEBRATION!

WAIT THIS IS TRUE?!?!?! OMG

Totally agree with Ximy's post. In BL adaptations, the first thing they need to change is the relationship of the characters to a friendship or soulmate relationship due to the censorship of China.(Just like The Untamed, Word Of Honor, and other dramas.) We should definitely not expect to get more than that, otherwise the drama wouldn't pass censorship it will be immediately ban.

I'm also fine with the censorship, as long as they stick to the plot of the novel and the main characters have chemistry, I will be the happiest person alive lol. It doesn't matter if they take out the BL, and replace it with a Friendship or Soulmate relationship. What matters is that we can see that they are very close to the point that they would die for each other. Honestly, I believe in the director of this drama. I believe he knows what he is doing since he already made another danmei adaptation from the same author (Mo Xiang Tong Xiu.) Which was, The Untamed. We all know that The Untamed is a huge success in China, and is recognized by many people. I don’t think it will be hard for him to
stick to the Plot, and make this successful as well.

Another thing I do want to mention is that I indeed like the cast of Winner's King. The actors do have a age gap as well. Tan Jianci has 30 and Chen Zheyuan has 24. That would be a gap of 6 years. While in the novel the gap of the characters is like 8 years, so is not a big difference. Is pretty similar. Also, I find both of them very attractive since I have already seen dramas of them previously and they are amazing. The part that worries me is probably the chemistry. Idk how close those two are, but I believe they can do a good job. I have seen pictures of the behind the scenes and they seem to have quite a lot of chemistry. I'm hoping for the best. ^^

Honesty, I also don't think age gaps matter. In The Untamed Wei Ying was supposed to be Younger than Lan Wangji, and at the end, they chose Xiao Zhan as Wei Ying who is like 6 years apart from Wang Yibo who did Lan Wangji. And honestly, many people fell in love with their chemistry and looks. Xiao Zhan indeed looks very young. And both him and Wang Yibo did a good job both in the drama and behind the scenes. I believe what matters is that they can portray well their roles no matter what their age is. :)

I believe the cast selected was a good choice. The main actors indeed have an age gap. Tan Jian Ci is 30 years old while Chen Zheyuan is 24 years old. This will make it 6 years of gap. The gap of the characters in the novel is 8. So is not a big difference. Tbh I do believe they will do well. They are well known actors. We'll see how well they do. ^^

Oh, that's such a cool challenge. I would love to participate, but sadly I finished the novel on February :(

The last update about tgcf drama that is going around weibo says:

#天官赐福# As of now, the number of applicants for the audition has been as high as 788, and the starring is undecided.

Release time: 2021-01-03
Deadline: 2021-04-30
Number of applicants: 788

(By the release time, they are trying to say that on January 3rd was the day that they open casting for people to apply and audition. By deadline, they mean that on April 30th is the last day to decide the cast. Which means that the cast will most likely be confirmed for either April or May.)

Also

Director Chan Ka Lam plans to start the filming cycle of 180 days in June 2021.

(This means that they plan to start filming by June of this year. The actors that will be chosen will have the entire month of May to prepare themselves with training and also have time to read the original novel to adapt to their characters.)

The rumors of arrest I believe are false. We have to remember that MXTX is a hidden author. She has never shown her face and she has always been very secretive with her work. The reason for this is because BL novels are a bit risky to write in China because of the Chinese government and restrictions with LGBTQ. Also, the reason of her leaving social media was because of the bunch of hate and comments she received from haters. As for now, I would like to believe that she is busy with her life and she is hopefully still working on her fourth novel.

Oh yes! The author is amazing! She created three beautiful stories. (Heaven Official's Blessing/ Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/ Scum Villain Self-Saving System) And she is currently writing a forth one. :D

I don’t dare to compare any Chinese BL adaptation series. However, I do have to admit that BL adaptations are getting better and better every year despite the censorship. Word of Honor and The Untamed are very unforgettable and touching!
