Only her fans are watching and praising the drama. All other passer by people (the general public) and even some of her fans themselves are fed up with this xianxia genre. The general public is visually exhausted coz it’s so overdone unless there’s an interesting plot line that will keep people in . Bai Lu I think took a big break in 2023/2024 and filmed a lot of dramas last year which are coming left and right now all from Iqiyi. All these xianxia has something to do with Yu Zheng. The summer vacation has started and all the dramas are trying to air. Tencent is trying to look for a safe spot for MR without the competition from another big production. So many passerby fans are waiting for MR coz of the theme, makeup, director. They will be stupid to rush and fumble this. The newest rumor is that this will air after Princess Gambit (which will air late June or early July competing with Yang Zi’s and Li Xian’s drama). So MR will probably be mid to late July

The production team breaking the contract stems from the different between the synopsis submitted for filming license and the investment attraction synopsis. These two were like having the same character names in two different dramas. For example imagine if ABAY has the same plot line but the characters names are Yao Zhiming instead of Han Ting and ChengHuan instead of JiXing. That’s how much they have changed the plot and the drama title. Plus from the fact that the story is basically from a IP called Tang A Wu Ming (you can search the book on MDL. The second ML is still a rumor. XK is the only one who’s going rounds with this drama rumors. His team and YZ refuted the rumors. People don’t know where these come from. They released the Wang Bei Luo melon to overthrow these controversies, which kinda worked as the last time people posted posts on XHS with this drama tag is on 19th May I think. So far there’s no development but I would expect some noise when YI ouchun nears wrap up

So the Listening to the Wind Order, according to an industry insider got filming approval last November (2024). At most they MAY have signed a letter of intent, which I think can be cancelled . The actual contract will be signed one month before filming. Still have time for anything to happen

Early July release possibly after The Princess Gambit (with Liu Xueyi and Meng Ziyi)

Same predictions

Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng drama. It’s a Xianxia I think. Not sure what it’s about

Can you share the link please I can’t find it

August sounds a bit too far tho

Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng drama

It’s July I think

In 2020, NRTA has said that production cannot sign actors without finalizing the script. He has APPARENTLY signed a preliminary contract (they sign the official contract before filming). This is more like a promise from XK side that he will do the drama given his condition. But since the production team seem to have broken the contract, he should be able to fight it with a strong team which unfortunately he doesn’t have

I don’t think so coz if so, then people would have talked about it at least once. I haven’t heard anything like that anywhere. I guess is that since rumors of MR were circulating about releasing from May-August window, they probably didn’t want two XK dramas to air closely, so they probably taking their sweet time. I actually don’t know tho. But Chinese fans are expecting this around Sep-Oct, which is more realistic

Which other drama?

I want thissssssssszz

The one for next year is in discussion and tbh I don’t have high hopes coz the Chinese censorship would not allow the novel to be done as a drama. It’s a HongKong mature themed book. As for the September this year rumor, it’s a costume suspense drama. Whether it’s dual ML or one single ML, there’s not much development on this debate. We will have to wait and see

Probably Late June or July

May dramas are confirmed to air. Like the wang churan and some others. Early June dramas that air in the first week are also confirmed but anything later are waiting for announcements

Yesssss. But they say it’s to start filming next March that tooo long 😞

About the Listening to the Wind Order drama, I made a post on XHS asking fans whether XK had actually signed the contract or not. People said that he should have signed an intention agreement as dramas usually sign the actual formal contract right before filming begins. That being said, since his team said that he has signed a contract, I didn’t get any answers as to whether he can not film the drama (since it MIGHT have been an intention agreement). Imo now that all of this have happened I hope he can leave his agency and even if the production team decides to film the script XK read, I don’t think it will be a harmonious environment as they can screw him anytime at this point.

Pls let us know your thoughts on the novel, cfans love the writers style, don’t know how us non speakers will feel ❤️❤️❤️
