Chinese agencies are corrupt, criminal organizations. They enslave artists. She and her mother met with Yue Hua Entertainment to confirm that the actress didn't want to renew her contract. They refused. Because they refused, they claimed they could automatically renew her contract for another 12 years. The mother returned with a lawyer, and she was kicked out.
Yuehua Entertainment (YH Entertainment) is a major Chinese entertainment agency managing a diverse roster of K-pop and C-pop artists, including groups like EVERGLOW, TEMPEST, UNIQ, and NEXT, as well as soloists like Wang Yibo and Choi Yena. They heavily feature artists in survival shows (e.g., Zhang Hao, Ricky from ZEROBASEONE) and manage virtual idol groups like A-SOUL
Wang Yibo has lucky for him an hybrid contract. They use his name but he has freedom with the studio (aka choose or refuse roles). Wang Yino generates 60% of yuehua agency….
Thank you for your comment ❤️They gambled on her few minutes performance on PA. Fans said she looks like Zhao…
Oh, you made my day! I had no idea someone found my blog, even if I shared the link on MDL and my profile. There are so many blogs out there with the full version. Thank you for the smiles!!
Ten years? Wow. I love Viki. I hate iQiyi (stopped my subscription). I like Youku (for anime). Tencent is okay. I especially appreciate the proper English subtitles on Viki and multiple choices they offer. My favorite for sure.
Thank you so much for this review! I loved the ML in Rebirth for his performance in Blossom, so was looking forward…
Thank you for your comment ❤️
They gambled on her few minutes performance on PA. Fans said she looks like Zhao Lying but I do not see the physical resemblance and definitely not the talent. They failed in casting the wrong too 3 main leads. They failed the script. They failed to deliver a closure with the happy ending the fans wanted.
… and another drama with a lack of chemistry because Allen refuses to be touched or touch others, with the audience lucky if there's even one kiss. Why does this actor continue to take roles in period dramas? There are so many thrillers without romance that would suit his tastes. Maybe it's only about money? Does it pay more to act in period dramas? I will wait the last episode to know. Don't mind me, carry on 😅
If only these consequences were at the forefront in the minds of all those haters. I wish similar penalties, like jail time, would happen to those stalkers who call themselves fans.
I heard there is recasting of the princes and it's also uncertain whether Chen Dao Ming will return. I hope they…
Gossip says that Chen Dai Ming will return if the script suits his preferences. He is 70 years old. However, JOL S3 will require him to undergo intense physical training because there will be a major battle with all the grandmasters and martial arts is very demanding. But it is the same with the old eunuch and the others. They are all over 60…
Douban remains at 3. The number of reviewers increases, but the percentage stays the same. It looks very suspicious to me. Still 89.1% disliked or hated it. https://movie.douban.com/subject/36809858/
Chu Qiao and Zhuge Hue become the king and queen of a northern kingdom in the mountains. There is no slavery. They have two children and one adopted child from Li Ce. The second child of Li Ce is raised as the future emperor with strong support from Chu Qiao. It takes some time before they live together. They marry after they become a couple. (meaning they had sex before they married). Their sex life is very happy (lol) and Zhuge Yue never takes a concubine or another wife.
So indeed happy ending for them.
Yan Cun remains alone in his huge palace. He's an emperor. He married and has an empress he doesn't care at all, and he also has hundreds of concubines, many of whom look very much like Chu Qiao physically (sleep with them once and trash away). He ends up lonely, with mixed feelings of regret for his choices that drove Chu Qiao away, but he also understands that his desire for power, revenge, and jealousy took precedence. He never loved anyone else but her. His love was selfish and possessive. He placed her on a pedestal. They only ever shared one memorable, unique kiss. Some people see it as obsessive, but I see it differently. I saw a man who lost his soul after the slaughter of his family, and only Chu Qiao was his savior. His lieutenants, jealous of Chu Qiao, fed him lies, and his jealousy took over… pushing her away. She lived 2 years alone in yanbei and when her own army was in trouble because of Yan Xun, she left yanbei and never return.
All the events in PA and Rebirth are inspired by the novel, reflecting common practice. They borrow elements, and the scriptwriter adapts them for each celebrity cast in the dramas. What they notably failed to do in Rebirth was to show how emotionally broken Chu Qiao was when she left Yan Xun for good. She loved him as her first love, remained faithful and loyal, but after their escape to Yanbei, he lost his humanity and turned his genuine love into possession. He also got jealous when she gained popularity and respect from his army (except his closed lieutenants who had an agenda). The more he pushed her away with his actions and love, the more he became a selfish tyrant. He was a broken man. Zhuge Yue fell for her because she was his favorite main servant. In the novel, he never taught her martial arts, but love developed later. When she left his house, she was about 9 or 10. She stayed confined with Yan Xun for 8 years, then they escaped to Yanbei. That age difference makes both dramas quite different, as Zhuge Yue waited 10 years before confessing his love.
PA incorporated supernatural elements. Rebirth included fabricated events and storylines. PA was supposed to have a second season and not end with a bittersweet ending. Rebirth offered no satisfaction in the romance and sad, unsatisfying ending, killing both FL and ML.
They completely missed the mark with the rebirth project—wrong casting, wrong scriptwriter, wrong director, wrong narrative. The PA audience expected logical continuity after the lake ending, with romance, a happy ending, and genuine chemistry between the leads. Instead, they cast a 17-year-old and a lead who is a decade older, with only a few scenes as a young teen in PA that probably took just two days to film. Their choice wasn't based on her talent but rather her connection to Zhao Lying and PA. ML was hired for his popularity, and Yan Xun was cast based on his looks. There was absolutely zero chemistry between them.
