What do you mean, not backed by capital? Do you mean his agency doesn't make dramas? Isn't he like partial owner…
Some actors bring their own funds /investors to the project. Unlike some actors, Didi is not chained to any platform, big investors, or big agency. I agree, Didi has more *freedom* than other actors because his small agency is useless in getting him roles. The reality is that resources pursue Wang Hedi and his own agency relies on him to stay afloat. He does have shares, but the decision power is still with his agency.
GOTD is set for S2 regardless of this. The reality is many projects cant even start this year and this IP about to expire THIS YEAR when it cant attract investors. IMO it is clearly a favor he is doing for New Classics Media and Tencent. He already rejected it in 2022 and he is already booked thru 2027, he's not short on work or needed to *steal* female-centric drama. Quite ignorant to think he would need to. Thatās funny as hell. :)
Its said that approval was made last night. Based on the news, Wang Hedi attended the project approval meeting alone yesterday for "The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage," while other details are undecided (cast, director, etc). His schedule thru 2027 is already fully booked. Didi refused the offer three years ago but accepted it now, especially since the IP rights are about to expire. The recent surge in trending topics featuring him is clearly a ploy to get him on board. Otherwise, their investment in the IP would go down the drain. Actors don't have much choice when they're not backed by capital, and given that Didi has collaborated with New Classics Media, he probably took the role out of consideration for "GOTD 2,ā which he already got lined up.
The lead actress will likely only be a "crown princess" that Tencent wants to promote.
I like Tian Xi Wei and I hope she will return. If you dont like Liāanā s character you prob wont like her…
She doesnāt have much screen time in S1 and probably will be the same in S2. So for minor role you cant stand, you rated this drama a 1. Why would you want to watch S2? If they follow the book she will do things that are worst because she is far from perfect.
What did it ruin exactly? It was like 2% romance but kay.
Romance is a side story that completes him as a whole. Not all of us didn't like her or let a small role bother us. Maybe you are way too focus on her and on perfect romance.
does her voice actually stay like that the entire drama??
Not entirely, she will be different later. You will have to get use to her voice. She is a young, naive, and sheltered flower fairy who accidentally befriended the devil.
I hope they focus completely on Dylan and get rid of Tian Xi Wei. They should stop ham-fisting romance into every…
I like Tian Xi Wei and I hope she will return. If you dont like Liāanā s character you prob wont like her in Season 2 either if they follow the book.
She is a spoiled brat at first, but she will have character development after the misunderstanding is cleared…
A lot of her antics were funny and understandable to me, but I did got little annoyed too, just not as much as you did, so I was able to enjoy their scenes together. She may not be the ideal/perfect FL at first, but she seems to turn a leaf and there is some self-reflection and discovery. I think she was doing her best to survive in the palace politics and under the thumb of her perfect sister and being daddyās favorite.
She may be even more annoying to you in Season 2 if you dont like her already. š Depends if they follow the book. She is even more annoying in the book.
