Me too!

Do u even find updates on Oath of Love? I feel like even the updates for this drama are turning out to be like an abandoned ghost town - just filled with emptiness & cobwebs.

Wasn't he in a casting rumor with Zhao Liying just a month ago lol? It became such big news that it entered the weibo hot search. And I think before that it was Dilraba (but I think everyone wants to see a Dilraba & Xiao Zhan pairing).

Are these rumor sites just throwing Xiao Zhan with a different female celeb everytime - just hoping one of them is correct lol? I wonder if he even took his next project after Longest Promise but I guess we won't know until August (? I think that is when he finishes filming).

I didn't watch it but I believe it is only for movies. I have seen some of the winners on weibo & the award tend to be for a movie they were in. I didn't see anyone win for a tv drama - but I could be wrong since I didn't see it lol.

Yea they do - and sadly their app doesn't have a English version so very hard to get around. I tried & failed lol. So just going to see what other people are posting lol. And plus I am hearing too many people are in the live so it is crashing for a lot of people as well.

Sorry, the link is not working (at least not for me). Hopefully trying to log into taobao does work for u.

This person gave an in depth way to get into the live.

Hopefully it works out for u. Have fun though :D!

I don't know if this link works but:
https://taobaolive.taobao.com/

You can also try to make an account via the taobao app but its really hard. I tried & failed miserably lol. So, just hoping that this link works.

I feel it is a bit too early to make that declaration since they are still filming. But I don't blame u for thinking that lol. C-dramas & proper release dates do not work well with each other. And Tencent is even worse - just look at how long Oath of Love has been in the basement (smh). But I think Longest Promise MIGHT (?) be released in 2022 in Q2 or Q3 since it won't be televised (too many episodes) & it shouldn't have any big issues to pass censorship (hopefully lol).

But won't be surprised if it takes its sweet time lol.

I really wished the trailer showed Shi Ying fighting with his umbrella lol. Now we have to wait for the next trailer :/.

No problem :)

I know this is late but yes they will have a 2nd season. However, it hasn't been filmed yet. I think Tencent mentioned it recently in one of their conferences so they might be getting ready to film the 2nd season. But no real information is out about when it will be filmed & if the cast will be the same or not.

The trailer is just beautiful! And the white costume that Shi Ying is wearing - just perfection!
Looks like a very high budget drama.
I also prefer the new English name The Longest Promise compared to Jade Bone Ballad.

Shi Ying Come Home Soon!

We might be getting a trailer tomorrow :O?!?! On June 7th?

Might have to wear my clown makeup tomorrow lol.

I feel that is a talking point that anti's have been trying to spin since last year. I am surprised they haven't found a new talking point yet - it's always rinse & repeat with them. Like if they are going to spend so much time on Xiao Zhan at least spice things up with their weird anti behavior.

I am going to use data to answer ur question since data is a HUGE factor in China & pretty much everything is recorded.

For ur question about Xiao Zhan fans being mostly teenagers is false. According to Aiman, the majority of fans is actually 25 - 34 (making up about 65% - I will give u a link to a screenshot someone took from AIMAN in October of 2020). People less than 18, actually only make up less than 1%. And ages 18 - 24 is the 2nd largest which make up 26%.

Now for the product endorsement's & such. He is always ranked 1st in terms of pure sales - & if u just look at the play that he is now in, that has always gotten sold out in a matter of seconds. If u actually go on xunyee he has 80% of all pure sales from all of his endoresemnts. While the other celebs make up 20% of sales - the fact is that a lot of antis know his sale power but want passerbys to believe that his fans are manipulating things.

You can also look at vlinkage which tends to give the most popular brands at a weekly basis that a celeb endorses. Xiao Zhan has been dominating the charts by taking up 5 out of the 10 - even with brands that aren't new such as KXZ. Usually these charts will have brands that celebs just recently endorsed because fans tend to buy those more & give the most attention to. While XZ fans tend to buy repeatedly throughout the course of his endoresement so they will be on this chart a lot more.

Now, for ur question about him not being that famous. To be honest, I don't care if he is popular or not so it isn't that big of a deal to me. But, if u use weibo they tend to have supertopics which is pretty much an indicator of how powerful & active ur fandom is. Xiao Zhan has always been 1st & leading others by a huge margin.

Anti's like to spin things like Xiao Zhan is the only famous celeb & if any other celeb is talked about than that automatically means XZ is done & over with & he is no longer popular. But if we use that logic than that means no one is popular in China except for XZ - and we all know that is just not true. Other celebs are just as popular but that does not mean XZ is no longer famous - just means the entertainment business is big enough for more than 1 popular celeb.

Hopefully Janec/11amber can provide more details. I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents as well lol.

I saw the same thing when I went on the US website as well lol. I am guessing TODS is trying to compete with KXZ for the best brand that Xiao Zhan endorses lol.

Well, thankfully anti shenanigans have declined since last year - but of course some of them still got nothing better to do than be keyboard warriors. But I feel every celeb has a bunch of anti's so it's best to just ignore them - since Xiao Zhan is definitely ignoring them.

Well, just glad u got some free time to hang with us :). But good luck with ur new project - I hope all goes well.

And I heard a lot of items from Tod - even internationally - got sold out when he was mentioned :D!

I honestly respect TOD - like the way they promoted Xiao Zhan on their weibo page was just amazing & shows they care about the collaboration between XZ & TODS. They even used kadian everytime when posting on weibo about XZ, which was very romantic.

I agree with u. I feel unfollowing & unliking was the best course of action since it shows that they are unhappy without attacking anyone or getting into fandom wars. And like u said just have to take our cue from XZ & his studio to see what else happens.

Anti's do too much - they know more about XZ than most of his fans do lol. Disliking someone is fine since I watch NBA & American Football I tend to dislike players from the opposing team but if u ask me about their personal life - I most likely wouldn't be able to tell u a single detail. I am just not invested in them. But anti's probably would know what color socks XZ is wearing on a specific date because they following him like their life depends on it. These people invest so much time on someone they claim to hate - like BRUH? *insert meme here* lol.

Welcome back Janec :). I noticed u were absent on this page for a while but glad to see ur back again. Hopefully everything is well with u & we can continue to enjoy Xiao Zhan content together :D!
