But everyone was saying this was gonna air this summer:((
there's no way it can be finalized that quick. this only finished filming in November. dramas with a lot of CGI have longer post-production. I think they'll air this during CNY break in 2024.
ok this is getting silly now. he hasn't had a drama air for 11 months and that was only a 3rd ML. if we're counting lead character, he hasn't had a drama (where he's ML) air for over 2 years. the only upcoming drama of his that seems somewhat certain to air is Bright Eyes and he has a cameo in that lool this is why an actor should never put all his eggs in one basket. he pretty much only films iqiyi dramas and they're all getting delayed.
can ONE of ZLH's dramas air lol like any?? I get this one being pushed back because they probably want one of his bigger projects to air first but it's getting ridic now
the actors are doing dubbing already so this is getting close imo. the drama would be more fitting for a winter release because of all the snow scenes but I reallyyy wanna watch it now lol
her company needs to get her a xian xia drama asap. those are the best way to gain popularity. so far she mostly does b-grade dramas or comedies. even her upcoming drama with WHD is mostly centered around the male lead and no one even knows how big her part will be.
tbh the visuals will be amazing because this director is known for his eye for visuals. the thing we need to worry about is the script lol I don't think he has a single drama/movie with more than 6/10 rating on douban.
Hopefully this drama really air on September cos on July, August there a lot of A+ actresses release their drama…
apparently the YZ drama (Chang Xiang Si) might be in trouble too. there's some melon accounts on weibo that are saying censors have issues with the step siblings love line.. they might need to head back to the editing room. this isn't confirmed yet but we'll see. that drama should be airing after Xiao Zhan's so if it doesn't come out in Aug.. we'll know.
I don't think ZLY or YM's are ready for the summer. Those are Xian Xia dramas that have a lot of CGI.
this drama was never going to air during the summer slot though. that slot is always reserved ahead of time for…
I know Destined is only A+. As for Love You Seven Times, I'm not sure because I haven't been keeping up with it. The same production company aired Cang Lang Jue last year was only A+ but the Yangmi/Gongjun one is S+.
S+ is related to budget so it's usually large Xian Xia productions that require a lot of CGI or dramas that hire A-list. BL is kind of.. b-list. She's popular but she doesn't really have any hit dramas with her as the first billing. XuKai is a small LL, he has a decent fandom size but his dramas aren't always hits like his recent one with Nazha kind of underperformed.
what is the matter you are talking about? regarding the Third Male lead?
One of the reasons I think it should be fine is because the 3rd female lead in Cang Lan Jue was also blacklisted for anti-government sentiments but the drama still aired. She just never appeared in any promo material. I think the problem is that SOKP promotions kept including the 3rd ML for some bizarre reason. They should've stayed lowkey and left him out.
IQIYI gonna release Divine Destiny episodes today as per the schedule in MDL! This is so sudden! Hope Iqiyi can…
honestly I'm surprised they released that one. it's been on the back burner since 2021 at least which is never a good indication for a drama's quality so I thought they would just dump during some less busy month. AB, as pretty as she is, has never carried a drama. Releasing it now against a Xiao Zhan led xian xia and the rumored diliraba drama is.. well, a choice lol
