But I guess you realize that there is nothing more fascinating than a rumor? Gossip allows you to spin fantasies, plunge into the realm of conjecture and dreams and even play detective, while commenting on such a video is simply boring. Besides, people are desperate for any information about his new project,

I'm on Weibo every day. In fact, that's where I start my day. I have new material - I smile, I have nothing new - I'm sad. Most iXfx don't go on Weibo and rely on Inst. TW and the like, so they don't know if something is official or a melon, so they ask. Especially new fans who don't have their information paths worked out yet and don't know who they can trust.

Personally, I hate rumors and consider them harmful, but following them allows me to keep track of the mood in China. The current rumors sound very different from those of two years ago, even if they are talking about the same drama and that is.... interesting.

Some melons think the BB actress is a superstar, while others point out that she has made trouble for herself, which is why she is currently out of the "good" circle of popularity. Some melons say that Xiao Zhan is eager to play with her old friend Xinli, while others say that when Xiao Zhan was in trouble, Xinli officially disowned him, so there is no question of cooperation.

Melons are released by professionals who deliberately make up rumors that will sell in order to shoot traffic to their account and gain popularity. Weibo is like YT - the more popularity you have on your channel, the more money you make from ads, from comments, from views. because during a difficult period, melons were merciless to Xiao Zhan (something like: hahaha, he was supposed to star in this drama, and he didn't! This actress was supposed to partner him, but she didn't want to tarnish her reputation") Xfx decided to reject the melons. We can watch them to know what they are talking about, but we don't participate in the discussion and above all we don't believe any of them.

There is a high probability that one of the melons will come true, but if there are dozens of them, hitting the real one is like playing the lotto.

In order to start producing a drama in China, you must submit it to the relevant bureau, which will assign a number to the title. This individual number accompanies the drama when hiring workers (signing contracts) and dragging investors into production. To get this number, you just need to report some information about what the drama is about and based on, and have a preliminary script and a declaration that there will be no certain scenes in the drama.

Ok, so you have the number, and you slowly (or quickly) assemble a crew and shoot the drama. When the drama is finished (almost), you ask it to be approved for distribution. The relevant bureau checks that there are no violations of the bureau's guidelines in the drama, and if everything is ok, the drama gets a second number, with whom you start commercial talks for distribution.

There is no rule as to how long the process takes after the first or second license (number) is given. If you have everything prepared you can start right away, but sometimes you have to spend years gathering funds or cast.

The first number just means that the drama has permission to start work.

Wow, I didn't notice. But maybe yes, because I gave up this drama.
Psychological drama does not have to be boring and this is it. I have seen many interesting psychological dramas dealing with various problems and some of them were really exciting and touching, where I could find a connection with ML / FL and their problem interested me. There is nothing here. And it really has nothing to do with the fact that it's a psychological drama. What I don't understand is why you consider yourself better just because you like the drama and I don't like it (see your comment below). I thought we live in a free world and everyone has the right to like what they want and not to like what they want.
And so for the future, maybe this type of drama should have a warning: "only for connoisseurs" then such low, tasteful creatures like me would not waste time waiting for anything interesting? :)

This drama is slow because it has tons of long shots that don't really get any action. Additionally, the FL does nothing but walk, sit and talk. There is no action, no emotion in this drama. no drama, everything is as slow as the sloth's movements. As if I were watching a documentary biography of the most boring person in the world.
Hey, cool, you like it, it's great, but you asked why some people think this drama is slow, so I'm one of those some :)
Oh, and I know what the convention of making a drama is, but I'm just starting to watch blindly and .... for me, the convention of this drama is so slow that even a snail is faster :)

I heard that one Li Qin drama is coming to the screens this year after eight years. I guess that's a record :)

So watch them again, and again, and again. At some point, you will begin to naturally understand English. It will be difficult at first, but you won't even notice when you start to feel quite comfortable with English subtitles :)

So you are motivated to learn better English. Believe me, it's easier than learning Mandarin. Anyway, watching dramas is a good way. I learned English that way. Before we have TLB, try on some older drama that you know, only instead of subtitles in your language, choose English. It works better than lessons.

No, it's not.

I miss TBA. It annoys me that people change dates every few days just to change something. If there is no announced release date, it should be TBA.
Referring to the conversation a bit below, I heard rumors that CCTV is planning for WDB to premiere later this year. That wouldn't be so strange at all. First of all, it's not xianxia, so post-production doesn't require doing a lot of CGI. All they need to do is to edit what they have and put in sound. If the production was done under the supervision of the Central Bureau of Broadcasting in Beijing or whatever it's called (and it was) the drama release process will be very short. The drama from ZYL took less than 6 months from the end of shooting to release. These types of dramas simply take priority.
Referring to TLP doesn't make sense because they are completely different productions, requiring different work, different time and prepared for a different purpose. CCTV may not care at all if Xiao Zhan has any xianxia and that this will be his fourth drama this year, because CCTV cares so that they have a proper drama.
That's why I think 2022 is just as likely as 2023, why can't it just be TBA?

I like Ziao Zhan in every aspect, but I like him best from the Our Song period. He didn't know back then how popular and loved he was and thought it was just a temporary fan infatuation that would pass quickly. Our Song was recorded during the period where Xiao Zhan was beginning to realize how powerful he was becoming. In fact, from episode to episode, viewers were able to watch how much progress he was making in his singing, how he was slowly getting used to the program and the popularity. It was better than the weekly vlog because we had Xiao Zhan for about an hour and a half every week and in a company that made him learn a lot in front of our eyes and have fun at the same time.
Whenever I hear Hua Shin, I sing along with them :)

I don't know what's more boring myself: the plot, FL or those long shots. With this drama, I can write dissertations on the harm of boredom on the viewer's mind. But that's my opinion. I'm sharing my feelings. Everyone is entitled to their own.

From the description, it sounded identical. Well, apparently all fantasy romances in the Chinese style are totally identical, so what difference does it make what she plays? It's still the same thing.

The title is different, but it's about the Spring Banquet, right? This drama has been tied to Xiao Zhan's name since 2020. Xfx are no longer taking it seriously. But -.
I emphasize that what I'm about to say is just theoretical conjecture. If Xiao Zhan were to star in this drama, I see no objection. The scriptwriters had two years to adjust the script to make this drama ML centric. As for the partner actress, I think normal actresses with a normal fan base won't make an issue out of such a situation. Let's remember that Xiao Zhan is not only a brand that brings gold, but also a very well-liked person, including in the c-ent circle. It is widely believed that it is a pleasure and professionalism to work with him. The only actresses who can't play with him are those who have too large a fan base - after all, no one wants a war. And one more thing. Even if the drama won't be ML centric, no problem. Will Xiao Zhan or his fans really make a fuss over the fact that an older and more experienced actress is listed before his name? Me thinks no. Xiao Zhan is a gentleman and respects his senior colleagues. It worked in TOOL, it will work in any other drama.
Whether it's the ill-fated Spring Banquet or anything else. Am I right?

I watched 1/3 of the drama and absolutely nothing interesting happened. Not a single scene other than the one described in the previous comment and even 13 bored me. I watched so long just for Ni Ni's beauty, but her character is too annoying. This drama has finally convinced me that xianxia is a genre I need to avoid from afar.

I haven't watched the last two episodes yet, but in my opinion she didn't blame SMZ for her father's death. In my opinion, she used his death to completely disassociate herself from SMZ because she felt scarred after that horrible event in the alley. Her anger and being bad is not hatred for SMZ, but infinite shame. A typical reaction of a scarred woman who doesn't want her beloved to find out the truth. Such a woman often pushes away loved ones. The action takes place in a world where a woman's virtue is a testament to her character. And yet in our world it takes a long time for a woman subjected to such violence to return to normality. She brutally pushes SMZ away so that he does not feel guilty towards her and does not suffer from her harm. This is a completely natural procedure in such a situation.

In that case, I will respect your wishes.

My comment was not a review just a simple comment based on the trailer. Usually the trailer is the showcase of a drama, its best of the best, so if it leaves a negative impression on the viewer, I guess I have the right to feel disappointed and express my disappointment. If I were to leave a real review I would do it in the right place, because with this drama a system error allows me to do so. Now a question - why don't you criticize those who refer to a drama as a masterpiece without having seen it? They too should wait until they've watched the whole thing, or at least 30% of the production. I'm willing to bet that they'll give this drama a 10 right after the first episode, and you'll probably be one of those people, judging by your emotional approach to criticism.
And if you find my posts too long, save yourself the time and just don't read them. No one is forcing you. You don't have to make an issue out of it. I've seen longer ones.
So peace, sister, and please try not to show contempt for others.

Wow, there will always be someone who is absolutely intolerant of people who have a different opinion than them, because after all, only they can have hopes and disappointments, others can't, right? And I thought everyone has the right to express their opinion without being subjected to ridicule from other users. Let's respect each other, okay? After all, we're all human, not automatons designed to love exactly the same things you do.

Wow, thank you for your gracious permission :)
