Yes, in the copy of the new Tencent rules that is going around the internet it says the following: “The casting process must be transparent, and each production must have a written casting record. For roles in productions with more than 20 scenes, the platform must be involved. (Note: Prevent production companies from pushing their own actors; the platform must build its own actor ecosystem.)”

Hehe, Xu Zhengxi got us all confused yesterday! Even his fans on WB thought he had wrapped as well 😂 It’s nice to see they’re still filming scenes together today.
It’s nearly 40’C, still horsing around! This guy is crazy 😂 57 云兮云有熙发布了一篇小红书笔记,快来看吧! 😆 3grEGCx56L7 😆 http://xhslink.com/n/5fiuLLGrEmo 复制本条信息,打开【小红书】App查看精彩内容!
Jeremy Xu’s riding skills truly are outstanding! Getting the horse to rear in a controlled manner isn’t as easy as it looks, especially not wearing full armour! 25 Diana清溪发布了一篇小红书笔记,快来看吧! 😆 4Bb3cg3Td2m 😆 http://xhslink.com/n/2OUkBcYN71q 复制本条信息,打开【小红书】App查看精彩内容!
That’s great! We also have a Discord group for Jeremy Xu.I shall pop round and pay you a friendly visit 🙋🏻♀️
No, it says invalid or expired. We had the same problem for our group. The links are only valid for 24 hrs or so. It is best to ask people to contact you directly and then you send each of them a link.
According to this, there are many new rules for long dramas. Aside from removing the 40 episode cap, I saw a few…
I think the biggest game changer on a general level would be to require all leads (whether solo or double) to have proven acting skills ( shown in previous supporting roles) and to audition for the role. I am sick and tired of seeing big budgets wasted on traffic actors that keep grimacing for 40 episodes and can’t even do their own lines while talented actors are scrambling to get cast in main roles or are forced to to take second billing behind said traffic. Another important point to improve drama quality is something that was mentioned in the new Tencent guidelines: the script must be finalised before the casting is done and contracts are signed. Reading this I finally understood why so many dramas go south in the second half. They only did the first half of the script to get the project launched.
I met this actor in "Love of Nirvana" and I loved his performance! What other drama does he act in that…
Any of his performances are worth watching, however, often the overall quality of the dramas is somewhat lacking, especially when he is paired with newbie actresses (not his choice!) who can’t act their way out of a cardboard box. If you would like to see him as the ML in a different setting, I can recommend The Autumn Ballad (where you can hear his real voice), Royal Rumours or Be My Princess. One of my personal favourites is Legend of the Phoenix, but only for his performance. Again, the FL is the weakest link in ann otherwise strong cast and the plot goes to shreds in the second half. However, his fighting scenes in the last episode are epic!
Oh, that's great! Thank you for keeping us updated about Jeremy. I've been coming here every week looking for…
Yes, I think he is slowly advancing towards better roles. It isn’t easy right now as there are fewer dramas made and he doesn’t have any agency support or powerful backers. Most of the works will probably only hit the screen next year, but we should at least get Whispers of Fate this year and I have heard that his role as Ghost Peony is quite memorable.

Jeremy continues his string of guest performances… Yesterday (12/08/2025), he appeared on the set of The Treasured Bajia Book. This drama is part of the tomb robber series that also includes Southern Anecdote ( same original author), however, it won’t be the same role.
😂😂😂 It’s like a fashion show with added plot. I really liked the green one. Very few people can pull off that kind of colour! The black and gold one was beautiful, but the colours are more conventional.
Riding a horse in full armour at 41’ C - Xu Zhengxi really is superhuman 😱! 67 我发现了一篇小红书笔记,快来看吧 😆 Z2mlXEpvNc 😆 https://xhslink.com/m/9WwS7rWnYep ,复制本条信息,打开【小红书】App查看精彩内容!
Same here! I am desperately waiting for any of Jeremy’s dramas to air. He has two guest appearances in the pipeline from last year (SLY and Hidden Shadow) but none of them are moving. And even without him, SLY would be an event not to miss because it is so different! All the recent dramas that I started watching (and never finished) feel so similar.
