I have no idea how ZLY did not even attend the event but her team is so keen on publishing those silly stuff. LYF was the participant that night, even her team and fans got no complaints. Yes, I feel like LYF ignored YM several times before. If I was YM, I will avoid them too. The media isn't going to be nice to me, why should I keep being nice but never receive any kindness?

Comments like yours aren't helping either.
I don't see how it's fair to snub this topic. There isn't even 1 single outlet anywhere, that is willing to reveal truth. If there is any, even just 1, I wouldn't be bothering. I'll just post that link of truth, and then just be done. There isn't even 1.

For someone who did not even attend the event, why should such a thing like this about her pass around? When it ain't got nothing to do with her? Just wtf?

YANG MI MADE PEOPLE EMBARRASSING ON PURPOSE, AND ZHAO LIYING SUFFERRED FROM IT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOWS8tiuAhw
YANG MI TOOK THE LEAD TO SQUEEZE LIU YIFEI? OVERLY HUMBLE TO EMBARRASS THE SCENE, ZHAO LIYING'S ABSENSE IS TOO WISE

There are still a whole lot more articles with titles like that all over the places. Tons of comments slandering YM are so ruthless.
Like seriously??? SERIOUSLY? Many people already know that was malicious editing. Her team is still at it? I mean, you got exposed long ago... LOL
I said "many people" know the truth, but I guess still not as "massive" as ZLY's team. Better to explain now than later, when YM is completely ruined the way FSF got ruined, then too late.

I'm not accusing ZLY, but isn't her team doing this for way too long? Goodness, she should really change tactics.

Before any of you accuse me of blaming ZLY, cause I know it will happen...
Fine! Before I get swarmed all over, I have no choice but to bring up few other examples to prove my point. Granted, YM is not the only one they prey on. Yes, they are well known for playing the media.

So don't come at me that I'm accusing others. I'm not. This is just what her team keeps doing. I didn't tell them to act like that. I'm also, not the only person thinking they need to stop. Fandoms all over the places, also asked them to stop. They just like to act deaf, cause they can. They now they have the numbers, the smaller groups never get heard.

I'm using Jaynestars as an example but if you use any other platforms, they also tell the same things told on Jaynestars.

Just study how they use the media to ruin FSF. Pay attention to the time

* August 2019, FSF scandal with women resembling LIU YIFEI
* September 2019 - April 28, 2020 (same time as above), filmed Legend of Fei
* Divorce announced on April 2021
* July 2021, blame the mother-in-law for divorce, over and over mercilessly.
* September 2021, ZLY and WYB dating scandal, they have matching necklaces that were specially tailored and cannot be replicated easily. Ok???
https://www.jaynestars.com/news/zhao-liying-and-wang-yibo-are-secretly-dating/

So... to sum up, FSF was accused of cheating in 2019, he and his mother was cursed to death. But at the same time, 2019-2020, she was the the one filming and cheating with WYB. Only she receives congratulatories for cheating. He was home sacrificing his career, he and his mom babysat the newborn, and they only get insults. She saved her scandals to get announced last, pushed his scandals to the front. All their scandals happened at the same time, but hers only came out later. Step by step, he fell into her trap. First, they tarnished his reputation, issued thousands of news exposing him to be a rich playboy, then made everyone believed he impregnanted her when it could've been others. His cheating scandal was very baseless, no evidence whatsoever. On the same day of his scandal, she changed her profile image of Minglan into Nezha and left him with his profile as Gu Tingye all by himself. Hinting to everyone the scandal is true. Then she pushed all the blame on his mother. Then when she wanted Wang Yibo for attention, nobody criticizes her for cheating. She also attempted to revive the Kris Wu - ZLY fandom, nobody will mock her being flirty while married.
Obviously, that isn't media control?
FSF's playboy image wasn't even a thing from the start. All his exes left him on very good terms, and well, they all even get along! Thanks to the massive lies, he can never wash the playboy image because her team is so huge. Compare to how she ended badly with Gao Ziqi, Chen Xiao, Hu bing, etc. and none of those men get along? Why isn't a playgirl image slapped on her reputation too? Speaking of justice?
About WYB, whether it's true or not, I guess he doesn't mind being called a home wrecker either, maybe it's a nice reputation to have? ZLY wants attention by using him, what can he do? I thought some celebrities can get blacklisted for similar things like being home wreckers but what ever...

I don't give ZLY any benefit of doubt, if I go on, there are many celebrities her team preyed on. Even Liu shi shi is among the list.

Very much like FSF, he cannot wash away the image ZLY gives him. YM too, also cannot wash away the "diva" image they create for her.

Don't know if LYF takes side with ZLY & LBB, or blindly trusts the media. Just saying if I was YM, I too, would avoid ZLY and her circle at all cost. LYF definitely seems closer with LBB and that was shown on Weibo night. Before ZLY got close with LBB, there was never any problem about who standing next to who, everyone always got along well.

Easy to predict what they do, NOT easy to clean after what they do.

We will continue seeing the media says:
YM ignored ZLY(2021)
made everyone avoided her(2022)
disallowed her attendance(2023)
and new things for 2024 & 2025 so on... who couldn't guess them? YM pushed ZLY to the ground?

Since ZLY chose not to attend, she should've just stayed quiet. Had she done that I would've thought YM was quite unconfident to avoid LYF like that. What ZLY's team chose to spread around, and how LBB conducted herself that night, only give themselves away. It's great to have control over the media, but people are not that stupid. Don't be stupid to offer giving yourself away.

Don't quote me, but I think ZZH said he wanted to apologize early on but was muted by the governament? Maybe that's the same thing here? Besides, the scandal about the banks in Zengzhou is embarassing to the Chinese government, maybe they're just using celebrities at this moment to steal attention.
If she's banned they would announce it right away already. Since she's not banned, I don't think she should be muted. If in the future she comes out to say she got muted, there's got to be political stuff behind the scenes. If there's nothing political related, and they verdict her wrong at the end and she never apologize early on, I agree people should be mad. But if they verdict her not wrong, I don't see why anyone should rush her to apologize when she deserves the time to research on who's behind all this. Forcing someone to apologize means you won't get a sincere apology anyway.

Was it just the eyedrop thing? If it is, I must say she used her own eyes. At least she didn't put those eye drops into a stand-in's eyes 😂.
How come someone gets so much praises for using over 30 stand-ins to do a bunch of easy craps like standing up and walking for them?
But when another person uses their own eyes to cry, they are mocked being unprofessional?
Yes, professionalism is about doing all the easy things you can do yourself. Crystal is doing her own crying scenes herself, that's exactly what professionalism is. All she did was make use of the tools, eyedrop available for her.
Stand-ins are also tools to use, but do not abuse them, they are also humans, they should only be used when neccessary. Standing up and walking are not hard or dangerous in any way or form. If someone uses stand-ins for almost everything, they might as well not even act at all and give the opportunities to those who are willing to film everything.

Speaking of unprofessionalism, ZLY comes to my mind off the bat and since she's already being mentioned here I guess it's safe to name her, her fans launch really huge scary attacks so I have to be careful. Its so true! With a strong fan base, the most unprofessional ones always get the most praises and best awards.

Definitely unfair to watch 2 episodes and leave a super low rating, when you're also dropping and not even watching it too. I noticed shows that gets 9.0 all the way from airing first episode to the last and the final outcome is 8.9. That is if the actress has no one attacking her.

Usually when the first few episodes are starting so low, it will only get harder to increase later. Like A Dream of Splendor, it was around 8.8, within 15 minutes, it went down to 8.3 and now the final outcome is only 8.5. That was definitely an attack bc people hate LYF's having a pretty face.
Makes me wonder who is having so much fans and all of them are also having so much time.

Ok if that's your reasoning but not everyone is willing to support celebrities who cannot compete fair and square. If she wants to cheat by being a liar, I can be ignorant of that since it wil only harm herself back and not the others. But what I cannot be supportive of is a celebrity that hurt others for hher own benefit. It's not just a big turn off, it's unacceptable in my philosophy and I stand by it. Looks like you just deserted your philosophy btw. If I already know a celebrity encourages toxic behaviors, I will boycott them. I'm honestly here to check on and research, I noticed low-rate attacks on shows I'm watching, so I'm just passing by to research. Not here to watch this show, so not even going to say anything. But for all your information about smartphone evolution:
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Evolution-of-smartphones-and-smartphone-embedded-sensors-over-time_fig1_332973899
Even in 2006, the Nokia smart phones are nothing like what we using now. 2007 is when the first iphone came out and the size is small, not big like rn. Besides, most people can only almost afford flip phones at first. Most can't even afford flip phones at all. There's no way a countryside person will be the first to hold today's big size iphone in the 80s, that's impossible even from 2007-2010 so the 80s is even more impossible.

This rating went down so fast.

Hold on there, what did you just say? You treat others the way you wish to be treated and stand up to bullies? Ur....... Can you please explain some of the stuff Vee posted?
From what I seen, there are way too many legtimate proofs of ZLY being a bully. That's why others are "standing up to bullies" like you said. So, do you have valid reasons for why ZLY did those things? And competition is not a valid reason. That's very wrong. I don't see anyone else competing so babariously like ZLY. While other celebrities are working hard and friending other celebrities to compete fair and square, ZLY always drag her costars through the mud. Even when the costar is her husband she keeps dragging him just to salvage herself and earn everybody's pity. Why is she excusable? How?

Such a heated discussion. But Anachron, are you seriously that shameless?

If what Jenni said is very non-offensive to you, then why do you know how to be so offended too, when others call you a green tea? Don't get offended then, since you don't know how to get offended.

So you only know how to be offended when you're bullied.

But when it's your own child getting bullied, you will never stand up for her?
You have issues, go get a doctor.
You love ganging up on victims, if you see someone getting bullied, you like to add more hurtful things to the victims. Even if the victim is your own child, you will purposely add more pain to her, and then make excuses for the offenders and yourself. You are so inhumane.

It's common logic and basic life skills to know what you say will offend others or not. Obviously what Jenni said was rude and cruel. Just because she's a green tea like you, you're defending her because she is a mirror of yourself. Nobody should be offended by you and her who are bullies.
So whoever is victimized by bullies should never speak back, and nobody shall stand up for the victims, is that it? Go get a doctor!

Finally it's not "The Legend of (something)" anymore. But "dream" does make me imagine the main character waking up at the end and everything was just all a dream LMAO. I like the title too, this show is really a splendor. I don't find a thing boring at all, I been through way too many boring things so I will tolerate this rare show.

ZZY is very popular internationally. There are way too many underrated actresses, like ZZY's colleague, Hu Jing, also a very good dancer.
Here's a clip of Hu Jing, actor Zhao Hongfei I mention is also in this clip as 4th prince. Very sizzling couple too, why I say Chen Xiao reminds me of him.
A friend of Liu Yifei is also in the show, Shu Chang. I don't know if Shu Chang has dancing background but some of her other Wuxia works were also really amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSlnNtT-jpA&ab_channel=HuangHaiBingFan

Chen Xiao almost reminds me of Zhao Hongfei a little. I like how they opted for a natural atmosphere and color, it can't beat the traditional golden era from early 2000s but this is the closest I can get. The up-to-date style for ancient garb these days, look really cosplay-ish. This one sits inbetween the modern ancient garb and the traditional one. It does look very tradtional but still has a taste of moderness. But I will still count it as a classic, it is close enough. I didn't enjoy how other agencies like Daylight makes things colorless and empty, sometimes they don't use the right fabrics either. This is really the closest taste of traditionalness I can get after decades.
Liu Yifei is really something. No wonder why Disney auditioned through tons of actresses and took years to find the right Mulan and at the end they picked her. I don't think there is anything she isn't good at, she's very all well rounded like Zhang Ziyi.

I'm starting to hate what I see on Autumn Ballad's forum. Qiao Xin did a phenomenal job compare to what Zhao Liying did in Minglan, but I wouldn't comment on Minglan's forum and say Qiaoxin is way better.

Some of the recent comments was like this,

"I tried my best to like FL, but nah, I really can't...maybe if she was portrayed by a different actress, I would like her more...I guess this is purely personal, I don't really like the actress...the voice, the acting..."

Is she freagen serious? She said no hate, but rated Minglan 10.0 when Zhao Liying stuttered so much in there, and she said she has problems with Qiao Xin's speech, Hm? Shrug! Then she goes to her Minglan's forum and posted this there,

"I came back here because I miss Ming Lan so badly!
Recently watched a drama with a strong FL, but it totally failed my expectation...I guess, nothing can bet Story of Ming Lan!"

I also noticed AvenueX complained about Qiao Xin's speech, so I went back to see her Minglan reviews, and Fug! She didn't mention any shigs about Zhao Liying random pauses in all her speeches. SHM!
She always make trivial things sound like they're the biggest mistakes ever made.

However when it comes to her fave, she lets her off the hook over very significant shortcomings.

She knows that most C-netz actually have issues with ZLY's unprofessionalism. In the industry for super long, but never want to work on her speech and even forget her scripts. She's only dependent on other stars being nice and helping her out by praising her, but she doesn't do the same back for them.
OFC AvenueX wouldn't share these with intl fans, but she backs up her opinion about Qiao Xin's poor speech by saying C-netz agreed with her it's really bad. AvenueX is a lot more amazing and smarter than ZLY IMO.
To be a successful actress, make sure your fans are better at acting than you because they are the ones that will sail the ship for you.

Unfavored daughter and evil step mother is a recurring theme in every period drama.
I find Ju Jingyi always playing that type of theme but everything she's in are so repetitive and poorly received, so I never see any comparisons with ZLY.
Usually, only if something is receiving too much positive attention, usually with bigger budget, such as The Sword and Brocade, then ZLY fans will always come to do their jobs and destroy other people hard work.

Agree! Hate to see these type of competition internationally.

When you make too many lies you can't remember and track what you said.

Aw! Thanks, I usually like to rate once the show finishes. Yes I agree about the antis, it is very unfair. So Imma just vote now and stand by my 10/10. This is very unfair. This show has no eng sub on YT or anywhere now right? There's already 77 Chinese speakers voting this so low.

WHAT A LOW RATING!

I was never amazed by Dilreba ever before, not even in The Long Ballad.
This is the first show that clicks and I'm finally a fan. I like this pacing very much, I can't stand slow place because that's just pure laziness. I'm so glad to see something finally moving at an appropriate speed like this, only 8 episodes but they made great progress.

Other than Dilireba's character, I love the other ladies characters very much too. Qing Shu is more than just that side character to load time. She is very charismatic in her own way. I didn't know the bird woman is actually the great singer Sa Ding Ding! I love love how she dances and drinks. They have really great casts here.

Qing Shu's romance didn't require that much explanation but I'm sold on her romance, however I felt forced when it comes to Dilireba and Allen's romance. I wouldn't even mind if they don't film those romance scenes, instead they could've focus more on the action parts. It feels like the main villains are kindof doing nothing, I'm not interested in them taking over screentime but it's just that I don't really feel their intensiveness or power, while the subordinates are more intense the way they keep fighting against each other. Still, I don't really care about those flaws. This is pretty good so far, I will still give this 10/10 for the first 8 episodes. It's rare to get something with this type of pacing, and the story is interesting, great acting, great camera angles too. If I can see the hard work and effort, it deserves all the points. The only things I will not tolerate are lazy things. All the actors here have great talents, I'm glad the director here is not wasting their time and talent.

I think lots of the articles ZLY's PR team are writing about many other actresses are too inconsiderate and unexcusable. I hope ZLY will discontinue that type of PR. It does not do her any good but harm. I honestly think C-dramas lack good writing and hardwork since 2010. ZLY unfortunately becomes famous around that time, I commend her for her beauty but I am yet to be amazed by any of the dramas she's in. They are just not comparable with the older stuff I find very professional. There is a very huge overmarketing for The Story of Minglan that I still find incomparible to anything random from 2008 and below. I hope her PR team will not act aggressive and oppressive anymore when they make comparisons of The Story of Minglan with other productions. As a long time drama watcher, The Story of Minglan's extra slow pacing is quite an insult to what a true slice of life should be like. True, slice of life can seem slow, but honestly they are progressing every minute, nothing wasted away. The Story of Minglan is too intentionally slow and there are too many flaws. Such as the moment she grows up into a lady, she reveals her other personality (the bright side) to way too many people around her and that's when the 2nd male lead also found out from the start, but she isn't afraid how he knows her deepest secret, she just take him as a fool. Then it also turns out the ladies she reveals her intelligence to are not even that close to her for her to show them her secret, no one can be that stupid to not notice such a huge change of personality many times. I respect fans opinion, but please don't act oppressive anymore, by all means it is no master piece, just any regular idol drama people like because their idol is in it. There isn't a need to ridicule another drama to make this one sound better. I'm also glad she was chosen to get casted in a Daylight Production. I hope her projects will continue to be better and rely less on marketing.

Other than Palace, Huang Tai Zi Mi Shi made in 2004 was another drama set during Kangxi's ruling. It's also loosely based on the princes fight for the throne. The leads were so boring that only the 4th prince's romance with Zi Ying got subbed, also my favorite couple in the show. Love how fiesty Zi Ying is, the actress is a colleague of Zhang Ziyi and both are great dancers. She did her fighting scenes so graceful. I hope Liu Shi Shi will play a similar role like this in the future, her background and talent is also very similar to them.
