He will join. 100% certain.
I don’t know where the info for the uploaded cast list came from. MDL aren’t too consistent in their approach. They keep telling people only official sources are accepted ( even rejecting Douban info) but then stuff based on rumours still appears.

Yes, I think the historical character was Wanyan Zhongwang.
As far as I understood, it is still the same Wanyan Jun character from the novel, but they presumably changed quite a bit of that character in the script (to make him more palatable) and therefore they also gave him a new name,

According to usually well-informed fans, Xu Zhengxi’s character name has been changed to 夏侯骏 (Xia Hou Jun).

Haha, I’m not sure the posters are big enough. It’s still not quite clear to me who will be the lead actor 🤣🤣🤣

120 days is the standard duration for a costume drama. Especially action scenes and wire work are very time-consuming.
I know Dacheng is a pro, but the stuntmen might not be able to keep up 😂
We can be thankful they aren’t filming over the summer months when it is 40’ C in Hengdian.

The two of them were mentioned as “additions”, therefore I’m not sure whether the “confirmed” status refers to them as well.

I am sure that he will join this drama, but it may not be as 2ML. Theoretically, he could film a lot of his scenes in January, take a 30-day break for the film and then shoot the rest of his scenes afterwards. I estimate that they will probably film this project for four months so this would still amount to a 75% presence on set.
It really depends on how the roles are written and how his role fits into the schedule.

There are always a few people who willfully spread false information, just to get a number of clicks on social media. While last minute role changes happen, they aren’t that frequent.

According to my information, the following cast has been confirmed:
Tan Jianci, Lu Yuxiao, Xu Zhengxi, Chen Shu, Zheng Yecheng, He Qiu, Wang Jinsong, Ye Zuxin, He Ruixian (listed in no particular order).

Yes, that’s what I think as well. Apparently, he said that his next project would be based on an anime which means that the melon about the film project starting in February is very likely true.

Ah, yes, Heilong 😍 It’s a very small role, but every second is pure gold.
His Ghost Peony (Whispers of Fate) is quite wonderful, too and very different.

Glad you liked his performance in Love of Nirvana. Keep watching, you have a lot yet to discover…

Yeah, I don’t like the sad puppy type SML roles who chase after the FL for 40 episodes.

Daddy does not approve 😢

According to melons:
Art Director: Liu Chengyi
Costume Design: Fang Sizhe

It wasn’t too bad. The novel was quite well-written unlike some other long-winded drivel that I had to force myself to finish just to know if his character will make it to the end.
Haha, watching a drama waiting for some actor to appear and then he never does, that has happened to me as well. Fortunately it was just a 90-min film.

Yes. It would be compensation for the drama where he was smart and ruthless in the novel and the turned him into a hapless lovebrain in the drama. I don’t want to see anything like this ever again!
I don’t mind him being the villain, provided that he can be scheming and unhinged.

No worries. My humour is sometimes difficult to get.

I know. I was just joking.

I don’t think it will be a guest role this time because for his guest roles he usually doesn’t participate in the opening ceremony.
