Noooo what T_T ive been looking forward to this for long ugh
Are they struggling for money? YM and Dilraba probably make the most money for them I would imagine. Dilraba is definitely top female stream right now. She's got like 30 endorsements and my understanding is, usually the management companies take cuts as their fees.
I think timing wise it all works out too. She finishes Legend of Anle in November, then starts Ball Lightning in December which I heard is 6 months! Then does the collab with YY in June 2022.
True! If there is chemistry between the leads and the acting is good then the age / age gap shouldn’t matter…
Zhao Lusi has 3 dramas released this year but the drama views are not as popular as Dilraba, Yang Mi or Zhao Li Ying who's dramas are in the multi-billion views according to Tencent Video.
I feel we need to support our female actors a bit more in the Chinese industry so that the audience doesn't get bothered when the male lead is younger than them. Right now, actresses are not allowed to age and if they can't look like teenagers/early 20s their careers are essentially over. This double standard makes me really sad. No one complains when the male lead is 10 years older than the female. This is just my opinion so don't bite my head off.
It is not going to air, it has no licence and after the scandal it is pretty much frozen. Considering a lot of…
You need a distribution license before you can air a drama. It's more strict for TV broadcast than it is for web broadcast. Usually when a drama receives their distribution license, it means broadcast will be soon. I do not know whether Ace Troops got their license and whether it is true that XZ scenes were reduced. I think HJY has very strong money backing but XZ has even larger fan base and I recall the producers tried to use XZ popularity to get funding for Ace Troops and there was some backlash. Now with the whole Chinese ENT shakedown, something like this might look bad.
