lol. definitely if it is true there is bound to be comparison that's given. However if it is a good story with a good crew then why not. Plus it has been awhile since ALP and this wouldn't be aired until 2025? I don't think it will be too bad.

No you were right, he was indeed wasn't a part of this season 11 of KR due to scheduling conflict (his concert tour) and Fan Cheng Cheng was his temporary replacement. However, he was able to work out his schedule for episode 11 and 12 to promote his concert in Thailand. Unfortunately, his scandal broke out just before the airing of those two episodes which the team had to completely erase him from those 2 episodes.

haha. That when you have an inkling that they are being pushed down the viewers throat by their backers. You know keep trying until people get use to them. Plus marketable doesn't always equate to acting skill. Could be the traffic/noise/money that these actors bring. Some already has their own fanbase from singer turned actor.

I really don't have much opinion on this as I don't really know what this drama is about and I haven't watch the APL. I'm only interested in knowing more until it is confirmed. I was burnt once when she was rumored to star in First Frost that I went to read the novel to it end up being just a rumor. lol

She started out as model for Catree. After joining YZ, she debuted as one of the main leads in a really small- low budget online web drama "Being King is not Easy". It's pretty much easy to be main lead in these type of productions as long as one have the capital as it is easy to produce these. Plus "Being King is not Easy" is a YZ production, all actors were in-house. Then she took supporting roles not even second leads in more serious production such as Untouchable lovers, Zhao Ge and etc, mind you both Untouchable Lovers and Zhao Ge were also in-house production. She gained some recognition after her role in Untouchable Lovers which propelled her to land as main lead in The Legends. Unlike ZLH, he pretty much has been mains since he started. Well, what I noticed is for most actors/actress in C-ent that belongs to a big agency or has backing will start as main leads in one or couple of projects whether big or small depending on how much they are willing to invest as an introduction to viewers. If they are deem marketable they will continue to star in main roles. Those that aren't marketable will pivot to support unless they have the backing to continue getting main roles.

ehh...lol.. Do you follow BL during 2021?

This doesn't change how I feel about BL from my experiences of her from BTS/interview/variety show till now. Just that I would like to see it from the other perspective from that timeline.

lmao more like the past since it was in 2021. Thank you for your input though. I've known of BL from 2019 however was more of a bystander. Didn't really follow her until I saw her in KR.

I’ve sent you a message via MDL. 😂

Mind if I take this to message?

As I was lurking on TTEOTM page and I understand that the page is now majorly occupied by LYX fans and from my previous experiences during the airing of TTEOM, some of LYX fans there doesn't view BL positively and I usually disregard it as it is their opinion. However, I came upon a not so positive post regarding BL there recently that I would like to verify with her long time fans as I only recently follows her since last year. If there are, I would like to message you.

Questions for those who followed Bai Lu before 2020 ONLY...

Don’t really know the exact detail over their lawsuit however it looks like the dispute was resolved between them so he is still in Huanyu. He signed with in 2015 so still has two more years remaining.

Depends on their connections, some are loan out free in exchange for screen time (that’s when you keep seeing their logo and how actors made comments on how good the product are) and some are loaned out at a discounted rate. Yes male lead is confirmed to be Ou Hao as linked in MDL.

Lol I mistypes. It’s actually in 2016 not 2017. Yep it was thanks for YZ’s resources that propelled her actor’s career. However if it wasn’t for her acting talent she would have been buried 4 years ago. I’m not so sure about variety pays vs drama. All pays are capped at 40% of total production budget and a per episode cap of 2mil RMB. Variety show are more easier to get endorsement investors into their budget and it is less time consuming. So I guess it is more efficient.

She signed a 10 years contract with Huanyu in 2016. The problem with YZ is that he doesn’t care whether it is good publicity or bad publicity as long as it is publicity. Along with the good publicity, lots of bad publicity is also triggered through him. He sometimes even use one publicity to push other people from his company. It’s not good for actor who want to become serious and for long- term career. It’s good as jumpstarts but not for long term based on how he manages the PR. Plus lawsuit drama where Song Wei Long sue him over “contract dispute” didn’t leave YZ any good light either.

I mean why not?? It works the same as for costume drama. The budget classification is just dependent on how much money is going to be invested in the production. Costume drama tends to require more (due to setting, costume, CGI) but it’s not like modern drama can’t spend more (just less likely) to allocate to hire more famous director/screenwriter/staffs, setting, PR and etc. Meet Yourself had to spend a month building the setting from scratch. I mean all those branded luxury cars you see in modern drama is also form of investment from other companies to drama production.

Just think it like this, right now she is directly under Huanyu so Huanyu manage her contract deals, resources and PR. However if she have her own studio she will have more freedom/input on her contract deals and PR. (Disclaimer: I’m not saying that right now she doesn’t have a voice in the company) Just like starting subsidiary company from its headquarter vs starting a new company. She will still be under Huanyu but just that she will have a group of people working for her instead of share resources from company. Huanyu still gets a portion of what she make until contract say otherwise. She still have 3 years remaining with Huanyu. If Huanyu is smart, they would allow her to get her own studio for the potential that their contractual relationship can be extended longer than three years. If not she probably should just waited out until expiration to start her own studio.

Yes he was a guest for episode 2 and 3 KR S10.

Here is the link

Have you watched Keep Running Season 10 ep 2 where the guest was Dylan? There was a part where Dylan was screaming near Bai Lu’s ear during a game and she was like “Oh my ear, Wang He Di,” indicating he was loud. Lmao.

Yes pretty much that is what the special season is mainly about. The Special is to promote tourism, the culture and its landscape with sprinkled activities from the guests.
