Good for you :) Bye!

At the moment I have not received any information on this subject. I have two kinds of sources - fairly serious ones who don't bother with rumors but can analyze the slightest official mention for hours, and those who love rumors. Neither of them said anything about DC2 in the context of the Tencent conference. Sorry. I suspect that this year Tencent will commit most of its resources to JoL2 and Nirvana on Fire 3 if they are the ones shooting the drama. If the scriptwriter wrote the script for seasons 2 and 3 of JoL, he may just be starting work on DC2, so shooting won't start until 2024 at the earliest.

Such policemen in shades of gray do not go out of fashion, as well-written and played they are really appealing personalities on the borderline between darkness and light. I guess a lot of people are attracted to such a gray area of human personality, where demons resurface and fight against good nature. Probably the easiest way to have something like this is in the police, where a person chooses this profession wanting to fight evil but constant contact with violence leaves a mark on him. It's a universal, classic and as much loved as ever. I think it's very realistic for a future XZ role. Although I think we will have to wait a few years for it. I think such a character should be in his mid-30s. You know, so that he still remembers his idealism but has had enough unpleasant experiences and disappointments to enter the gray. But of course this is my opinion, nothing more.

Elein is a very weak rumor. Definitely not confirmed.

You see, these types of pages can be created, added to and changed by all MDL users. You too can propose a change. EVERYONE can. A regular user proposes a change and gives an argument, such as "on this and that day there was a press conference by this and that label, which said that this and that actor will star in this and that drama." The moderator either recognizes your change or not. And some users don't even have to wait for moderator approval.

As a rule, any information posted on MDL is supposed to be official and confirmed, but there are users who, as soon as they hear a rumor, immediately post it on MDL. The rumor appears on MDL, and because this site still has a certain reputation, people think it is certain information. In two days, another rumor appears, someone enthusiastically posts it on MDL, people believe it again and chaos ensues.

I personally and many old XZ fans who remember what happened during the 227 very much dislike rumors and unofficial information. Therefore, XZ account is one of the few where there is almost always only confirmed information. This way, anyone who checks his account knows that he has definitely performed or is performing in a particular project. Just because other actors have even 6 dramas each TBA doesn't mean that they will really star in them, it just means that someone likes rumors.

DC 2 is a drama that Tencent wants to shoot, so they are gathering investors, preparing the script, and considering the cast. Of course, everyone wants most of the original cast back, including XZ without whom it won't be the same, but the actors have their commitments and it may be very difficult to gather them again. Perhaps DC 2 is just making some moves, but it is not giving any information to the public. That's why we can't confirm anyone in the cast, and we can't confirm the drama itself.

So it really all comes down to the fact that some people believe that you have to post every rumor and believe that it will come true (even if the rumors are mutually exclusive) and others only consider information that can be verified through official channels like official statements from the drama's production side. These, in the case of DC2, are absent.

Oh, yes! He would be perfect!

That's because no official source is talking about the cast yet. Of course, XZ is the first choice, but currently the drama is in very early pre-production, probably only at the script stage, and before they start shooting we don't know anything for sure. This really doesn't mean that XZ won't star in the second season, just that apart from the rumors there is no information about any cast member. It's too early to lose hope :)

As in Our Song! Wow, great look!

Hehe, my PhD studies are a bit of a different era, but sometimes it's hard not to look at fan behavior using a researcher's eye. Sigh. There are channels on YT of people who were in their teens 20 years ago and sometimes they mention the phenomenons that were Buffy, Harry Potter, Charmed, Beverly Hills 90210, etc. (in the States). Fans were always very emotionally attached to the characters, they transferred characters to actors, made ship and couldn't forgive that some guy was with the wrong woman what they wanted. Only then these phenomena were limited to one country, where people communicated in their own language and relied mostly on the colorful gossip press. Today, people from all over the world are arguing about it, so the chaos and noise is much greater.

Ok, you totally figured me out. Yes, you and only you are a true fan of Xiao Zhan, only you can tell the difference between a true rumor and a false rumor. Anyone who disagrees with your idea of the facts is a monster, a fan of another actor jealous of the beauty of XZ. Bravo, your deduction is equal to that of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot combined. Bravo once again! With such a high steadfastness of faith of the fans, any drama in which XZ has been gossip and will be gossiped about will come true to your delight. Totally defeated me with your dedication to the cause and faith so all that remains is for me to take my hat off, bow down to the genius and say goodbye. I will not win with you on arguments so Adios! Adieu! おさらば! Auf Wiedersehen! I promise not to get into any more discussion with you. Never again.

Yes, I changed my username and will probably change it again. I'm in the mood for change, although for now I'm limiting myself to the avatar.

I know all the rumors, I've been following the topic from the beginning. I know what DC is about. I also know what is being said about DC2. But you completely ignored what I said about other productions. Just because there is an intention to make a particular drama with a particular cast doesn't guarantee that the drama will be made. I didn't write XZ would be too old, only that he might consider himself so, and yes, I think ZRY is already too old to play young men, just as many actresses over 30 are too old to play 16 year old girls, but that's not the point.

Intention is not fact. I don't know how long you've been following XZ's account and whether you've been following the accounts of other actors. By 2020 in XZ's account and in other actors/actresses' accounts even now there is every rumored drama. Do you have any idea how many times XZ's name has appeared on Mirror Tween City or the drama Spring Banquet? Or with dozens of others? Some rumors do come true, but not all. Very often, people who put a person in the cast on MDL are guided by a rumor invented by someone and their own desire to see the person in a particular drama, just like you want to see XZ in DC2. But the desire is not always reflected in reality, otherwise all the dramas I wrote about earlier would have been made. Check out the comments on Nobble Aspiration III (yet another sad story of continuation never to be).

I don't want to take away your hope that XZ will star in DC2, because it's my hope too, but this drama hasn't started production yet and hasn't made an official announcement. It does not exist yet, it is in the plans. If I post on MDL that I will be a scriptwriter for the drama that XZ will star in, do you think he will actually star in that drama?

Wishful thinking, hopes, intentions and plans, it's all like a mist that is blown away by the wind. An actor's reputation should be built on solid foundations, not on mist. Not every rumor can come true, as there are thousands of factors that can push plans or change intentions.
Your argument that the person who posted the information on MDL must have access to production is invalid. You just want to believe it because you don't want to lose your dream. You treat the rumor, intention and dream as an accomplished fact. Well, it's really not the same thing.

I am just now watching Kill Me, Heal Me for the fifth or sixth time, one actor, one person, seven different personalities. Totally get what you mean. Such two opposite personalities are something to watch :) Of course, one of them dark?

Tempting. I have a weakness for lawyers :)

Yes, yes, yes! Something like that wuxia game he was spokesperson for? I definitely support this idea!

If you had to pick one and only one dream role for XZ, what would it be? Prince Charming? A serial killer? A tragic lover? Spiderman?

I propose a game to cheer up this dull, gray autumn. If XZ could fulfill one movie dream of yours, what would it be?

I'm not judging you as a person, I'm just interpreting your post, it's such a correction if there is still something unclear. As I wrote, I don't know your intentions, I'm interpreting words that, by your own admission, were chosen unfortunate. The unfortunate choice of words causes misunderstandings. Sometimes misunderstandings are caused through emotion, because you think I think all XZ fans are bad, which I never said, and I clearly stated that some. I've had more than one discussion with fans of more than one actor over the past four years, and there will always be those who are rational (sometimes too much so) and those who give in too much to their emotions.

I really have a problem with this topic, not with the question. I believe that if I don't know or understand something, I should ask. I can't go to the ABC actor's account to ask about the CDE actor. Since I am not a fan of the CDE actor, but have some interest in him, I go to the CDE actor forum and ask. Perhaps my question is not a graceful one, because I don't know that fans of the CDE actor are very sensitive on a certain point, but if fans of the actor treat me immediately as an enemy, I woud decide that it is better to get away from the CDE actor and his fans and maybe take an interest in the EFG actor. Wouldn't you do the same?

You were offended by my interpretation of your statement. Didn't your interpretation of the question about XZ offend the questioner? From March 1, 2020 until the end of the summer of 2020, I encountered provocations every day and I am heartily sick of it. Your unfortunate statement combined with the fact that you are a new account is a classic case of provocation from the 227 period. I had as much reason to believe that your intentions were not pure as you did that Angiee Le's question had a negative meaning. This is exactly the same. I still have no reason to consider you a dedicated sensible fan because I don't know you, but I'm not calling you a troll because I choose to believe that you don't want to provoke anyone, you just used a phrase that wasn't well thought out. Do you get what I mean? It's the internet, we don't know each other and all we can do is choose to approach people with an open heart or with hostility.

I did not mean to offend you, but I wanted to point out that your post could be interpreted as a fanatical statement. It's not why XZ fans are guarding their every utterance for the third year now that someone with an ill-considered statement would accidentally spoil their reputation anew. Because of the fact that you read my words as an attack on you, I am sorry.

P.S. Many fans are trying to explain where XZ's popularity came from. Why and for what people like him so much. They did not read this question as an attack on him. They chose to have an open heart. Not all, but many.

There is a difference between fact and belief. A fact is something you can verify objectively. A fact is a tree, sand that you can touch and official information of a statement. A belief is something you want to happen, that can happen, but you can't verify it.

While I am very hopeful that Douluo Dalu will have a season two, I am also hopeful that some of the rumors about XZ's future work will materialize, but at the moment these are just dreams and rumors, not facts.

When you put information about a drama next to an actor and that drama never starts production, your faith turns first into misinformation, then into a lie. Despite our sincere hopes, this drama may never come to fruition, and even if they ever start filming it, XZ may say he's too old to play a 20-year-old, or too busy with other productions, or fall in love and give up his career... There are thousands of possibilities. That's why we can't rely on rumors, although sometimes we really want them to be true. FBS 2, Princess Agent 2, Ever Night 3, The Dark Lord 2, Jade Dynasy 2... should I go on listing fan faith that never came to fruition? I'm tempted to add JoL 2. The principle of MDL is to rely on facts and confirmed information (at least in theory), not faith, so many of us want all the information posted here to be facts, not faith.

She was completely different in Legend of Chusen, so she can play different roles. It's just that her fans love her for this type and, in my opinion, they hurt her as an actress because they don't let her develop. Anyway, I understand your pain, but TOoL is one of the few dramas I've watched whole this year. On the farther side, XZ has some cool, funny scenes and I didn't regret watching this drama. Being able to fast forward helps with this type of drama :)

Yes, annoying especially since earlier (about two months ago) the same moderator informed me that one report is enough, they check sources and base information only on official sources, not rumors. Apparently, the rules depend on the mood the moderator is in at the time. Typical.

Interestingly, when I reported that XZ was not playing in this drama, that it was just a rumor, I got a refusal to change. And now, please, someone else reported and he is not there as ML. How do we not get paranoid here?

Big YES.
Her character is a little infantile idiot to me. What to do, such a scenario. Not XZ's best role either, but the guy has a certain undeniable charm.
