They released the projects that will be announced tomorrow and I didn’t see this, so most probably won’t unless they have already signed XK and other actors (or possibly almost done with the casting , script writing processes)

If the other actor gets the project, I wonder how the shooting atmosphere or even the entire atmosphere of the project would be, given the black marketing they did against XK. Like isn’t it embarrassing to show up and pretend you get well along with someone (higher your status) you publicly attempted to pretty much tarnish the reputation and tried to screw over ?

I know that S+ does not guarantee success especially in 2024/25 but I guess It should be better than nothing???

They are on weibo. If you have weibo, search
Alaso不冻港. It’s his team’s weibo. I translated this official statement using weibo’s translating feature. Other than that I don’t know any news articles that published this

That good to know. Also it’s an S+ drama so it’s not like they are in short of money. What’s a nano IP btw?

True it was awful. Some people were starting to unfollow coz of this. But I’m glad the team came forward even though they are usually incompetent. The OG novel is one male lead and multiple male side characters. So I guess it’s not like WOH with two MLs. People were also worried about shippers

The past few days WeiBo fans have been extremely embarrassing, dictating his script choices. It paints the image to non-fans that XK receives useless script, when in turn it’s an S+ drama that many actors fight to get. He’s the actor and HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOING. I’m glad the misinformation about this project are slowly dying down

A few things to add.
These past few days, fans have been going crazy on weibo protesting the new drama that the usually inactive XK team had to step up.
Fans say they reject the new project due to the “double male lead” tag. The director of that project is the guy who did word of honor and people are scared that it would ignite CP fans and promote homosexuality. If anyone knows homosexual CP fans brings so much trouble (WYB-XZ). So fans want to prevent that happening. Plus according to fans the plot isn’t that good.

Clarification.
The resources among actors are tight so everyone has to fight for it. Someone wanted to step on XK and they successfully did this time. The “double male lead “ is apparently not true and it’s supposed to be “strong male lead”. Also this is one of the mango S+ projects and I expect them to pour some of its investment on good script writers.

It’s likely it’s true but can’t say for now

Update- here’s a direct translation of his teams statement regarding the new rumor. The translation is a bit bad so please bear with it.

Dear Alasos
Hello everyone, I have received your kind words.
First of all, we have received your concern and care for Mr. Xu Kai, and we are very grateful and understand your feelings. Regarding the many suggestions you have made regarding a series of recent events, we now respond as follows:
1. The business content of the artist's self-media platform personal account has been contacted by a professional team for follow-up planning. A professional material shooting team will be arranged in the middle of May to plan and shoot. At the same time, the quality of the artist's self-media business will be improved in future work.

2. Xu Kai's soso affairs department/information station account business content enriches business methods in multiple dimensions
For Xu Kai's soso affairs department and information station account, we will actively enrich the material form and improve the efficiency of tracking hot content on the platform in future operations.

3. Contact with new projects and subsequent work arrangements
1. Taking into account all the projects being contacted, the script of this project (strong plot, fast pace, focus on investigation, with the male protagonist as the core to unfold a series of exciting storylines) has an excellent rating and can ensure smooth start-up. We finally decided to promote the performance of "Tang An Wuming·Ting Feng Ling".
2. Regarding the issue that everyone is concerned about, please rest assured that the team will work hard to get the due treatment and do its best to protect the interests of Mr. Xu Kai.
3. Regarding the co-actors that everyone is concerned about, we have not received any confirmed news yet. Every work is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. Please respect every partner and hope that everyone will work together to present this work perfectly.

4. Evidence has been collected for black fans and rumors on the online platform, and the filing of lawsuits is proceeding in an orderly manner
Regarding the issue of black fans spreading rumors that everyone is concerned about, it has been proceeding in an orderly manner. We will regularly update the progress of the lawsuit on @Alaso不冰港. The process of filing a lawsuit, collecting evidence, and litigation takes time and involves complicated situations. Of course, for malicious rumors and smears against Mr. Xu Kai, we will always use legal weapons to protect Mr. Xu Kai’s legitimate rights and interests.

5. The publicity work of the pending projects is being carried out in an orderly manner according to the schedule.
Regarding the pending projects, we fully understand everyone's cherishment and expectations for every role of actor Xu Kai. Like everyone else, we also want to maximize the dissemination of every effort of actor Xu Kai and be recognized and seen by more people.

Finally, we would like to say that both the artist and the team have been striving to go better and further on the road of acting. Please believe that the original intention of artists to be actors has never changed. I hope that we can work together in the future. Thank you again for your dedication and support to the artists.

15th May.

Probably 20, douban is more trustworthy than MDL

He was trending yesterday for Yi ouchun, but it died down today after he went to today’s shooting and due to the new drama rumor issue, which is a rising hot search at the time I’m writing this with this topic reaching 200,000+ discussions

Xu Kai is trending on Weibo hot search for two reasons today

1) Poor schedule in YI Ou Chun- he went to great escape shooting for two days, came back and went for drama shooting the same day and the next day. He got three day rest and then two day shooting and another two day rest. But he has to shoot back to back overnight until the morning after he gets back from Beijing. Also since he has so much rest for a ML, people are concerned that this will be Snow Eagle Lord 2.0 where his character just disappeared (lack of screen time). It’s the timing issue where he gets rest on normal days and he has to work way too much during ungodly hours after traveling in flights that people request the production team and his team to have a proper schedule.


2) the new rumored double male lead drama- Apparently, the writer has a poor track record , where he had to basically disappear for two years coz of the poor writing. It’s supposed to be a suspense drama but the clues are poor, lack of characterization, no flow between cases (poor storyline flow). XK team is well known for being incompetent and fans are requesting the team to make an announcement rejecting the melon (project rumors), so that they won’t profit off of him or pressure him to sign the drama.

The drama is probably on mango TV as this will be on the Mango Investment event

Both on mango (hunan TV) and tancent

Ikr. It was June, then August , then now July. Well hopefully it sticks to July

New rumor on weibo is July 🍉🍉🍉🍉

I get what you mean. It was in the Youku 2025 Spring investment promotion conference, and there’s a lot of buzz around dramas that will air during the summer today just before and after the conference.
My guess is that since they are still in post production, the drama is expected to air in Q3 or Q4 (most likely Q4- Oct, Nov, Dec). Dramas that are expected air in May like the one with Xiao Zhan, Cheng Yi, Wang Churan have either acquired investment or are still looking for them. So it’s too early for FI to ACTIVELY look for investments. I think the dramas they released a lot of materials today are either gonna air soon within a month or two, or the ones that are going to start filming (they also need investment to start projects)

But since this is an investment promotion event, I also expected some new materials, at least some pictures (at least I haven’t found them). But I’m not surprised since it’s a suspense drama with government involvement (they tend to be highly secretive post production).

I’m just trying to be optimistic here

June- don’t know the exact date
