It is already promoting it, there are giant posters up on buildings since this morning. They will do it but the problem is that we have entrance examinations in June so it's not a promotion issue at that point.

Don't forget too that in case of a joint broadcast with CCTV it is CCTV that decides the date, not Youku and they are impossible to predict. They have been posting ZHZ content for a while now so they are already doing promo in their own way.

Absolute worst timing possible if it does turn out to be June. Xiao Zhan has the worst luck. Maybe we will luck out and it will be May.

It is on the summer schedule for Youku (at the moment). So May onwards.

Nothing reliable. There are a lot of actresses licking the role, as usual, but there are no real news about it. I am very curious myself.

This is an independent story that is only somewhat based on the original universe so there is no need to watch the other dramas. Don't worry about that at all. Everything will be in the drama itself.

No, nothing terrible, there was just info censorship had them cut more than they intended. It happens, China is really unpredictable when it comes to passing the review but all the more, it's a real problem for film and drama makers. But it looks like everything is back to normal now.

Immortal Ascension has other problems, not to get into it here, it was also postponed.

ZHZ length should be normal.

Considering what the sources are, it seems to be true. I am really excited!

There are a few other melons around but none of that is reliable.

That's never going to happen. Out of the three, only Bai Lu might be an option and only if she leaves Yu Zheng after her contract expires. But someone like ZYL demands first billing and XZ is not going to give that up. He is a first billed actor and that eliminates a lot of possibilities.

New drama, late May most likely.
谍报上不封顶 or Unlimited Spy. Daylight production.
Based on a book with the same name.

Set in Nanjing, in 1948, about Ren Shaobai, an underground member of the party. It's another one focused on the ML. There are currently no reliable news on who would play the FL, Lan Youyin.

No, right now nobody knows. Originally it was meant to be a trilogy but there hasn't been any news.

Nobody said summer. The answer is that we just don't know right now. There were a few melons earlier that it could be as early as April but there is nothing even remotely certain.

Just ignore the troll. It's a well known hater who can't handle that her fave has been jobless for years so she goes around hating on actual successful people.

I am sorry, what do you mean? Doesn't say where?

Because it is very clearly labelled as 2025 by Youku. You can search for it there and you will see

Then they are not Xiao Zhan fans.

JD was wildly successful, it literally earned 20 times what it cost. This is also why the attacks on XZ started, he was way too successful and to this day is one of the reasons why XZ keeps his sales hidden.

This is a theater movie.

Yes, they will stream on Weibo too and you can watch without an account there, very convenient!

The press conference on this Wednesday in the Cinema national museum is happening. We will have a lot of new information there, perhaps about international distribution as well.

Then there will be the Douyin live too. It's a busy week before the release!

I understand, it would be amazing if it could have been simultaneously but it's pretty much never done because of the logistics. Hopefully at least some news soon🤞

No problem! I am really hopeful there will be news soon. We got an official announcement for Hong Kong today by Sony Pictures so that's another step forward.
