As for special effects and their quality, I think there are several problems. They all, of course, come down to time and money. Xianxia mainly uses very popular faces, and popularity can disappear overnight, especially if a scandal arises and the whole production can then be thrown out. So producers often want to have a drama on the market as soon as possible and making good septic effects takes time and money. Several companies are hired to do the effects on one drama and they also work on other dramas. So sometimes a scene has to lie and wait until a specialist finishes an earlier job. If someone is in a big hurry, they can hire a faster but inferior company and then we get shoddy special effects.

Douluo Continent is one of the better examples. Some of the effects are so-so, but then the producers got extra funds just ne special effects, they came out really cool.

I too am of the opinion that it is better to wait and have better quality. But some people like the actor/actress so much (I'm talking about in general, not this drama specifically) that the quality of the drama is irrelevant to them, they just want to see their beloved artist.

As for this particular drama, I think it's safe from scandals and because of the cast, it's an opportunity to sell itself to the world, so the creators, including the special effects companies, are trying very hard to make something world-class. You know, such a super c-ent showcase. At least I hope it is.

In my opinion, everything is business as usual. Xiao Zhan has always celebrated his birthday very modestly. It was the fans who always organized something and this year they are also organizing something. Something to document Xiao Zhan's development. The campaign runs from September 26 to October 5. Probably, as always, we will get birthday photos. Let me remind you that Xiao Zhan's birthday is not the whole month of October, but October 5 and they are not a national holiday to celebrate for a week.
Big birthday parties (which Xiao Zhan has always shunned and avoided as much as he could anyway) are a thing of the past for all artists. Now just birthday photos and that's it. Normal citizens are fed up with the uncontrolled frenzy of fans and the wars that follow.
As for Xiao Zhan's upcoming birthday and how he celebrates it (he, not the fans), I really don't see any difference from previous years.

An official announcement from Sunshine With Me has already gone out on Weibo. The XZ is in the first position in the cast. BBH is as the second.

I guess it's going to be a little later, because the official announcement with the cast has already gone out, but the picture is only about the start date of production.

Find the right photo in the right size. Select "Edit this page" then Cover Image, add the appropriate file (see here for quality requirements), make a change request (you can add information about the source of the photo) and wait for the change.

Each user has the opportunity to submit changes, information. I am not part of the admin group, but I have made a lot of changes this way. You can do it too :)

P.S. As far as I know there is still no better picture on the drama's Weibo, for example. There is also no actual official poster. This photo functions on Douin.

Thanks, too, and I recommend myself for the future :)

If we are talking about the same actress, then the comment was true. There was no hate speech in the comment, just an opinion that her complexion is too dark. I think everyone has worse sins on their conscience. The web is full of comments: too tanned, byt pale, too skinny, too fat. We want to see perfect beauty, but we have different tastes. The comment was true, only haters told people that XZ was cruel to the poor actress, and it was untrue.

I like the word. In my opinion, it fits. Hot outside of all norms. The norms just don't apply to him, because they are too tight, too limited. Even extraordinarily is too narrow a term. It's like wanting to enclose the galaxy in some solar system. It simply won't fit ;)

It is I who thank you for asking. There is a saying in my country, "he who does not ask, errs."

Being an actor was not Xiao Zhan's first goal. Even in Our Song, he admitted that he had plans to devote himself to music, but is now focusing on acting. He was pushed to the path of acting by necessity, but I think he liked it a lot. Xiao Zhan always says that when you decide to do something, do it well. When he decided to become an actor, he wanted to do it well, so he began to learn the profession.

The role in The Untamed that he tried out for was this black character dressed in black. I can't remember the name.

In 2020, there was not a day that Xiao Zhan's fan growth was negative. Every day his fans increased. It was unbelievable, unprecedented. One gentleman said: "I am eighty years old, I have never been interested in actors or singers, but I am a fan of this young man." During 227 there were all sorts of negative rumors about XZ, but it turned out that the only "wrong" he did was to comment that the actress had too dark a complexion, and that EXO had better songs than another band. He was only eighteen at the time and did not belong to a c-ent, but that first comment took a long time to avenge itself on him. However, people saw that he was pure, talented and good, so lots of passersby began to pay attention to him and support him. A lot of older people joined in, bringing more poise and more capital. That's why XZ never lost his popularity, and when he reappeared in public, he did so as a king, not a beggar.

If any new fans haven't seen the red sea ignite, please see it. It was a phenomenon that told the entire c-ent that XZ has the most loyal, humble, loving and supportive fans, and there is no force that can deprive him of their support. But it was also proof to him that XFX will never abandon him.

I was just reminded that in 2020 it was said that silence and good deeds speak the loudest. When XZ fan club was disbanded by him, the fans organized everything spontaneously, on their own initiative. There was no urging to vote. There was no "you're a fan you have to do this and this." Fans spontaneously organized charity events, helped others with a smile on their lips, nurses volunteered to fight the pandemic, and passersby seeing their gentleness and good deeds couldn't believe that these were the worst fans on the net who were being publicly lynched along with an idol who was paying for their faults.

But two years have passed. Many fans have joined, who don't know what it was like during 2020. These fans think they have to fight the way others fight - by throwing mud at each other. But this is not the XFX way. The words "the fans are at fault, the idol pays" have stuck in us too deeply.

XZ is the only idol that paid for the mistakes of the fans but he did not disown us. Even when he was in trouble and his business wanted to hurt XFX, he defied business. He put his business at risk for us several times. His fans, they are his family that he has to take care of. That's what XZ thinks, and that's what he told us. And this is the image that passersby and the media saw, which is why despite the scandal XZ was never blocked. He is clean and will not be blocked now. Fans don't have to fear for him. His only weakness is his fans. The truth is that all fan clubs throw mud at each other, but only XFX was condemned for it. All that XFX was accused of was the behavior of all the fan clubs, but only they were condemned. No matter how much five fan clubs tear each other apart, XFX will always be blamed and it is XZ that will be dragged through the mud. Therefore, we must be calm and ignore the provocations or respond to them calmly and rationally.

Yes, the evidence shown by XFX has always reached the public. The whole of China has seen them. Xiao Zhan's reputation is flawless. CCTV, which promoted him as an idol of good energy, was also a good help. Even Shanghai TV constantly promoted XZ in Our Song on YT.

Just because XZ isn't showing up now doesn't mean it's out of a job. C-ent is facing changes. Idols will be greatly reduced. I'm sure XZ is now devoting time and energy to make sure no one can call him an amateur anymore. Maybe he is taking more lessons. Maybe he's preparing for a role and getting some training. Even in 2020 when fans were afraid he wasn't working, he was dubbing his dramas, recording songs, preparing for Ace Troops and for his role in the theater. All the fans miss him and are a little worried, but this is Xiao Zhan. He is strong and resourceful. We really have nothing to worry about :)

The way they looked at each other when he took her in his arms.... The music that was flying in the background....
Each viewer interprets this scene as he or she wishes. I interpret it as a misplaced trope of damsel in distress saved by the knight. I don't like it, you may like it. We live in a free world, don't we?

What is true is true, but some may have found comfort in the thread of the supporting couple. I personally was very positively surprised by Bo Na at the end of the series and it was a very heartening thread for me. It's such a little bandage for the heart. Although through tears, but still I was smiling :)

As a person who is not interested in the original book or anime just the drama itself, I am very satisfied with the production. For China, the level of production is surprisingly high.
I've tried watching anime, but I'm probably too old for this type of aesthetic.
The drama combines elements of fantasy and realism. Yes, it has some boring scenes (paradoxically, I was most bored by the ones that others were most moved by) but it also has some really funny ones.
I have watched Douluo Dalu several times and always have a great time. I don't find any depth in this drama, but it's a good way to take a pleasant break from reality. Such a fatasy adventure weekend :)

I hate it when there is a turning of a gruesome scene into a romantic one. If the director is so afraid that the viewer will be shocked by the blood on the screen that he gives romantic music and and romantic interaction between FL and ML, why give this pool of blood of an innocent murdered being at all? If any woman standing in the dark, in a trashed room, in a pool of blood can feel romantic, I don't want to know such a woman.

Good I have not bad memory :)

When the 227 exploded it was panic. Chaos. Fans fought back in the traditional way. Everyone blamed XFX for all the trouble. All fan clubs even those of computer games and even passersby and the media. Everything we said was a sin. The situation was getting worse by the day. We had to keep quiet, but we wanted to fight. After ten days or so, the tactics began to change. XFX gritted its teeth and thought five times before writing something off, because every word we said was used against XZ. But when someone came out with an accusation, for example, that XZ didn't give a donation, a big fan showed proof that he did. If someone showed fabricated photos, XFX showed original photos. In this way, we gained more support from passersby every day. And the second method - fighting with good energy. XFX focused on charity and on organizing various online games, such as drawing and guessing which XZ photo it was. Every month there was a new major attack, but it was smashed within a day.

SSA is a drama filmed by Tencent for Wajijiwa to promote the X-Fire boys. Bai Shu was the only actor in the group. The boys had a tiny training in one episode of X-Fire. XZ group's trainer in X-Fire was Shu Chi, a well-known actress who saw potential in XZ. Their second major drama appearance was on FBS, a major production that featured 5 of them called Old Boys as part of the X-Nine promotion. At that time, the producers of The Wolf showed up and did a casting among the XNine. The producer said XZ was the most determined because he knew he had the least amount of time (he was almost 26). During The Wolf, Xiao Zhan learned acting on set and worked very hard. He developed an excellent reputation. Then there was Oh! My Emperor, where he was supposed to be a supporting character (2nd and 3rd ML), but he was so liked by viewers that he already appeared on the list of most popular actors in April 2018. By this time, XZ already knew he had a chance as an actor and was taking private lessons that he paid for himself. One of his teachers was director of JoL, who saw potential in XZ and gave him a small role in JoL. XZ spent three working days recording it in between shooting The Untamed. He got the role in The Untamed practically at the photo casting level. The producer said from the first look that it was WWX. XZ went to audition for another, smaller role, but when he showed how he acts, he was offered the lead role. And so it began :)

Mr. LYF was detained by police on charges of using a prostitute and pimping (although professionally it may be called something else). This is not his first offense of this type. The criminal charges may not be serious, but China is serious about the role of an idol/actor and its impact on young people. Consequently, Mr. LYF finds himself in the unpleasant situation of being banned as a lawbreaker and immoral person. This means his career is over.

Yes, he's not the only one, and it's about to get even hotter as 17 more actors/singers are threatened by the scandal and their agencies are sure to defend themselves by every means possible. I think now everyone must prepare for quite an earthquake. And the worst thing in such situations is panic.

Haters will be haters, some do it for money (on behalf of some agency) others are just full of frustration. It doesn't matter if Xiao Zhan performs in a program/concert or not, they will always find a reason to tease him. When he sang last in a New Year's Eve concert, they clung to the fact that he didn't sing during peak viewing hours (around 10 pm). Everyone in c-ent has to deal with such people and rumors. If all fans learned to fight not with emotions but with arguments, haters would lose their edge. In 2020 it worked like this, with passersby laughing at every new rumor against Xiao Zhan and just waiting for XFX to debunk the rumor. That's how XFX became the fans who are put up as role models. But XZ has many new fans who don't have this experience and let themselves be provoked, and this is hurting Xiao Zhan's image. I know it's not easy, that it boils blood to hear rumors, but we won't win with chaos and throwing mud at others.

In 2015 (2016?), Xiao Zhan signed a music contract with Wajijiwa. He became a member of the X-Nine group and still is. It's a long story, but before Xiao Zhan became famous, he filed a lawsuit in May 2018 to break his contract. In September 2018, he withdrew the lawsuit and reached an agreement with Wajijiwa. Details have not been made public, but we know that Xiao Zhan practically decides his work himself, does not use Wajijiwa's resources and pays her a percentage of his income. Xiao Zhan became an actor by accident, it was simply easier for him to work as an actor when Wajijiwa did not give him work as a singer. I think Xiao Zhan did not sign a contract with any agency for actors because he had too bad an experience with Wajijiwa and does not want to repeat it.

Both dramas take place in the same universe. TLP is set, say, a generation earlier. I don't see any reason why any of the recent scandals should affect TLP's release date.
In my opinion, the drama is not delayed and there is no trouble. We can expect it this winter. Autumn is usually the period of more serious dramas and republican period dramas due to national holidays.

If that wasn't a rhetorical question....

Xiao Zhan is attacked whenever any other star has a problem/scandal. First of all, Xiao Zhan is not under anyone's protection, so the agency of a star with problems does not have to fear that Xiao Zhan's agency will go to war with them. He's also very popular, so it's easy to make a sensation out of even the stupidest allegation/gossip. His fans are unnecessarily going to war and making noise about the whole issue. In 2020 XFX did not argue about silly things like they do now, Within 24 hours they would prove that it was a malicious rumor, give publicity to the topic fighting the rumor and it was over. Now they lack discipline they let themselves be foolishly provoked so the whole thing is out of control. The last reason is after 227 black feels unpunished, because out of a huge amount of heizy only a few people were punished. Xiao Zhan is too soft, not strong enough, ergo he is the perfect object to beat him with impunity. So he is beaten every time a problem arises with a celebrity.

No harm should come to him. Not even the paparazzi found dirt on him, and I can bet that any security services have long since screened him to the tenth generation. Plus, Xiao Zhan isn't stupid and doesn't do stupid things. Fans may sometimes think he's too cautious, but at least he won't lose his career for working with the wrong person. He doesn't have the protection of an agency, but he has a very large public following and is liked by a lot of middle-aged and older people who don't believe gossip easily. In my opinion, the only threat to him is that XFX will start to go crazy and upset someone who can do him harm. If XFX remains rational, doesn't get provoked, doesn't wage wars, everything will be ok. So do not worry.

No. He has no social media accounts outside of China - IG, TW, FB or TikTok. Neither official nor unofficial. He had an account on IG but in 2020 someone hacked that account and Xiao Zhan did not open a new one. But many people are impersonating Xiao Zhan. One account was very credible and many people followed it, and it turned out that it only served to spread a very ugly rumor about him.
