No controversy. They both being dragged by marketing accs. These 2 are always being mocked by marketing accs.

No controversy, the interview didn't relate to SAHPH promotion. It was aired months after SAHPH finished airing but people connected it because they both having similar opinion about billing issue which is hot at that time. That time Yang Mi was being mocked for willing to be 2nd billing in a drama. There's no way Yang Mi will be a 2nd billing they said, not many people able to put down her celeb status.

Yang Mi 1st billing, Xu Kai 2nd billing.

Given how much negative press being thrown at him, it's clear the company didn't take care of him. If they believe in his talent, they would have fight better resources instead of keep getting sabotage.

YZ never said he's talented. He said XK got handsome face. He'll weigh down the situation. He's quite new to start own studio, and signing new agency probably a matter of more annoying contract situation. Hope he decides for the best.

yeah agree. Scandal means he actually involved in it when the real situation is it's a FALSE RUMOUR. "Commotion" would be better. They created this noise to disturb the airing plan.

Mid March or Mid April now.

I'd say welcome to Xu Kai's fans world. This happens to every release of his dramas. So you know how strong (capital-wise) and determine his haters/competitors is in blocking him. I have seen the schedule, they are indeed supposed to be airing 31st Jan but was deter from it. Actually once you missed the planned schedule it's hard to grab back because there are other dramas waiting in list. Let's just hope ABAY is able to keep their TV slot.

Pray for that! LoS hasn't got passing license. ABAY already got it last Dec.

Zhu Zhanji is my favourite too. He's sooo well acted there. All the foreshadowing, the etiquettes, I love Royal Feast. I think he got chemistry with human relationship. 😂 I always love his scenes with parents like in SAHPH, RF and Lingjian Mountain.

Mind you, SWL's agent is quite powerful and I think he found a strong backer, that's why he dared to sue YZ/Huanyu. That's also the reason he managed to comeback filming drama after 2 years no filming. I heard SWL's contract actually ended. He failed to terminate so he just waited for it to expire.

This drama https://kisskh.at/723101-the-river-flows-beyond-heaven-and-earth just officially announced today to be aired on Hunan TV this 29th Feb. So ABAY's chances for TV next week already gone. Next drama rumoured on Hunan after this drama is Zhao Liying's Legend of Shenli. They are fighting hard to get the next Hunan slot which is 18th March.

if I'm not mistaken should be 2026. expiring or terminating contract ain't easy if you're top of any company. What's more the guy is Yu Zheng. But I believe XK has enough EQ to maneuver that. Hopefully.

Read about Chen Xiao, Song Wei Long. Yu Zheng thinks if you're popular there will be loads of company waiting to poach the artists from him. And the artists definitely will consider better option than his company. Searching for better resources. He really likes if his artists fully depending on him. You should see how he always wrote essay on him bragging how he's the one who able to look for better resources for his artists. See how he humiliated Bambi Zhu for refusing to act in his dramas. He's narcissist type. 😬

the reason for "spreading" is to incite fear for platform that if the driving of public opinion on this issue by the paid party is success, the drama will have negative image. They don't chase truth anymore, many don't bother to check facts. That's why they are playing on this "spreading" method. Nowadays no one bother to confirm the validity, they just simply look at title and share. FYI, they done this during Royal Feast. RF is Hunan drama, the schedule already fixed but around the time of rumour date, they spread information about how this will create tension with Korea due to costume is similar etc. The govt doesn't like raucous so TV station didn't dare to offend in case the issue will blow up during airing. As a result, RF was aired silently webcast, didn't go to TV. Driving public opinion is main method used for sabotaging. That's why I said, XK has every chance of total success for his works but his competitors are very hardcore and creative at blocking him. And it didn't help that his boss is also one of who block him (doesn't want him to be top for fear he will leave him). After they successfully deter him from having exploded drama, they will release marketing mocking how he's a failed actor and how even with top FL couldn't help him. Mind you, in process of sabotaging him, they also didn't mind sabotaging the FL if needed just to stop him.

With Yu Zheng, you can't reject him, he'll go extreme bitter. See what happens to Bambi Zhu. He even mocked her at the opening ceremony of that drama. You don't want to get on his bad side, he'll humiliate you with his marketing skills to the extreme. Hahaha... He thinks that only him knew what's best. XK opposed him before, see how he sabotaged XK's works and resources.

His FIYS fame is no joke. They even top douyin data in 2021 despite backlash from e-sport fans. They couldn't do much marketing due to backlash but still it exploded. Despite people mocking him in Ancient Love Poetry, he actually garnered 4 million fans with no marketing and got 20 endorsements. After that he accumulated works through his character shaping in each dramas. Yang Hua and Zhu Zhanji accumulated mid 30's and above fans. He might not explosively popular, but he gathered points by points from each dramas with the resources he had. Yeah, he got talent, he will shine no matter what difficulties he faced as long as he continues work hard. 💪

Marketing is necessary. And the artist marketing should be planned by artist's company based from the profit from dramas they made. But for XK, his company almost gave him no existence in terms of marketing. They only bought for year end KPI that is buy any topic at midnight that lasted for like 5 to 10mins. Thus this counted as if they meet the KPI of XK having sufficient number of hot searches. Actually most of this company artists didn't have enough marketing. Only his boss and Bailu are well-marketed. Netizen called this 2 as sleeping in the hot search list because they practically market everything.

He thinks the success is all because of him. He sells himself more than the dramas he made.

I won't really say he made these dramas. More like his company produced these dramas. He's one of the producers. For me these 2 dramas bigger credit goes to the scriptwriter, Zhou Mo.
