I'm actually looking forward to this drama for a reason completely unexpected to myself. Shi Ying will be played by three actors and when I saw the pictures of these kids 5 and 12 years old (or so), I found them to be really perfectly matched with the adult actor. I can't wait to see these little actors and will definitely be cheering for them.
Heeey what does "S" and "S+" mean? Thanks in advance :)
S+ productions are a hallmark of the platform. They invest the most money there, hire the most popular actors/actresses, and make a big buzz around the whole thing. Theoretically, S+ productions are supposed to be the best in terms of quality, but recently many fans have been disappointed because the promotion raises their expectations and they get something average or even weak. So, for about a year now, for many viewers S+ is rather synonymous with disappointed hopes and a soap bubble. As they say - just a flash, no photo
Is this gonna be S or S+...?whoever gonna reply this reply me based on the facts not as a xiao zhan's fan...!😄
S+. I don't know what the answer has to do with being a fan of an actor or not. It's not the fan who makes the decision, it's the producer, and Tencent has been promoting this drama as S+ for the past year. Truthfully, if they had any higher category, they probably would have given it to this drama. That doesn't change the fact that S+ dramas come out the way they do, so I don't have very high expectations for the quality of the script and production. But I do have expectations for the actors, all of them. Acting in an S+ production is a great chance to show off to the producers and viewers, so I think the actors will do their best.
I just started watching, but I am captivated. I love the realism of this drama. Its style of filming. The camera work and light work are excellent. Of course I'm still lost in the plot, but I'm interested in its development and the fate of the characters. The music reminds me of Red Cliff and Zhuge Liang, so far, is exactly how I imagined him to be.
Are you a new xz fan? Thn you may not be familiar with xz style basically he always stay low key even before he…
Aya! Let man live! He is only one. If he were to fulfill all the whims of all his fans, he would have died of overwork two years ago. One fan wants one, the other fan wants the second, the third fan wants the third, and so on forever ... I see you're a new fan. Xfx is a gang of beggars. It is our tradition to beg for food. This is our fate. It is our pleasure and our pride :) If you were counting on daily cakes, you chose the wrong idol. Xiao Zhan never spoiled us with food, but once he has cooked it is delicious! :)

I personally don't use one because I don't have any regional restrictions, but I've heard that there are free VPNs that can help. Have a nice day as well :)

In 4 months Xiao Zhan gave us 3 new songs and you still can't get enough? :) Being in love lasts 2 years. Most people like one artist for about that long. Then they shift their attention to someone else, someone new. But in XZ's case, it's different because most of his fans have a true, sincere, pure and platonic love for him, taking boundless pleasure in his diversity and wonderful character for themselves. He is our friend, our family - that is how much he has entered our hearts. That is why he will be like Jackie Chan or Andy Lau - an icon even at the age of 60 or 80.
Does this have a lot of romance? I don't like too much romance.
It's a drama mostly for boys, so there's a harem, but it's more fun than romantic. I don't remember romantic corny scenes, so if there were any, they disappeared in the shadow of the action.
I accidentally went into this drama's account and saw that I gave it 10 stars. Why? After all, I've seen better! Well, because this was my second c-drama of this type and I had a great time on it. And I have a fondness for those idiots from XNine. I remember a youtuber wrote that more than half of the popular XNine group performed there, but even if they all did, they wouldn't save this production. It's interesting because it's the only drama in this genre to surpass 20 billion views. It may not be perfect, but the comedy element was really good :)

I personally have no problem with his selfie. He looks great on all of them to me :) This is just Xiao Zhan, a regular boy from the neighborhood. That's what I love him for. Well, for some other things too :) People are different. There's a group of crazy fans who don't appreciate the actor as a person or as an actor, they just identify the actor with the role (we know it painfully from The Untamed) and they resent that the actor dares not to be what they imagined and they make problems for him. That's the kind of "fans" I meant when I said XZ doesn't want them. He doesn't want crazies picketing outside his parents' house, or causing his flight to be delayed. Besides, who would want that? I think the ugly selfies and videos are there to make such people quickly discouraged. If someone really, sincerely likes Xiao Zhan, they won't mind that his selfie isn't perfect or he's making an idiot of himself. They will take it as a joke or a kind of intimacy where Xiao Zhan is not ashamed to show that he is also a human being who may be tired, sleep-deprived, etc. As he said? He is most afraid that people will talk about him as just a pretty face? Hence my theory. Xiao Zhan wants to show that his face is not always beautiful and if someone likes him, they should accept that fact too.
if I remember correctly there was a drama he had a cameo in, but due to travel restrictions and busy schedule…
It was about the seventh minute or so of The Untamed. I saw a man in white. His face was hidden by long hair. First an eye appeared, then part of his face. Ok, I think to myself, handsome, even very handsome, but not him first. Then the thugs rushed in and started kicking him and I felt his pain. At that moment I fell in love with an actor who made me feel the pain of a fictional character for the first time in years. By the time The Untamed reached the halfway point, I had already watched everything that was available from XZ. He's like a drug. You try it once, you feel like you're high and you have to take another dose otherwise the stress and drudgery of everyday life will consume you. This is obviously a joke, but the healing power of his smile is no joke :)

I understand you perfectly and miss him too. But you see, Xiao Zhan became very popular very suddenly, and this is not a good thing. In China, there is a rule that when someone becomes popular so suddenly, their fame lasts for 2-3 years. That's one thing. Two - the more popular you are, the more people will want to destroy you. Xiao Zhan knows this and has experienced it first hand. Therefore, since 227 XZ, he has been trying to reduce his popularity, especially the empty one. He gives his ugly pictures and ugly videos so that fans who only appreciate him for his pretty face will quickly give up on him. He doesn't want to have fake friends. His fans are his family after all. So don't worry, you're not announcing anything. Xiao Zhan is just not a typical celebrity. Following him is often a longing, but he can give back wonderfully. I was extremely disappointed not to see XZ on New Year's Eve this year, but serious actors don't perform on such stages. He is simply retraining from idol to actor in order to stay in the profession. He just thinks very seriously about his work and his fans, to whom he wants to give his best, so he concentrates on his role. I miss him, but I'm glad he's busy because he's a workaholic and that way we'll see his new projects. Don't worry about the change in his face. Good actors sometimes intentionally lose weight, gain weight or do other things to fit the role. The last pictures were taken at night, after a long day at work. He did them not because he wanted to, but because the fans made him. Maybe by showing that he is tired he wanted to remind us that he works hard and that we should give him time to finish the current project? So no worries. He is a very smart guy and takes care of himself. :)

I am jiejie fan :) I'm just speaking for myself - I don't like those teen dramas where the characters only think about their love or love and revenge, but I've been watching the market for years and I see that those are the dramas that bring the most popularity to the actor. I definitely prefer AT to TOoL, but the numbers speak for themselves - it was TOoL that brought him a million new fans. The problem lies in the fact that most teenagers (I emphasize most) i.e. 12-18 years old can't understand certain themes that an older person can easily understand. And most people don't like something they don't understand. Older people, on the other hand, can go back to the time when they were young and will watch such a light teen drama with a wink. A great example was Douluo D, which was watched by young children and their grandparents. I agree that XZ should play in many genres. I love him precisely for this diversity. It's just that most of the masses don't appreciate the craftsmanship of a good script where you have to think, preferring silly entertainment that they like to enjoy. That's why those lighter, less ambitious dramas attract more fans, even older ones. I personally like clever scripts, but not too clever. I like to think on a drama, but not to the level where my head starts to hurt. What WDB will be like, I don't know, but yes, you're right. There are many popular dramas in the slice-of-life genre, but do the people watching them turn into fans? I suspect that with other actors - not necessarily, but XZ has something absolutely unique about him that makes even jaded people like me who have never pursued an idol can melt looking at his eyes, his smile and his heart every day for three years :)
Overall ok, it has boring, tiresome moments, but it also has moments where I burst out laughing. On the scales it comes out in favor. At least for now.
Is it just me or does Xiao Zhan and Arthur Chen kind of look alike?
When you dress and comb handsome guys similarly, they all look alike :) I liked Arthur a lot in Ever Night, but I personally don't think they are similar. They're both handsome, agreed, but they both have a unique, very different charm. For me Arthur is a sweet bad boy, meanwhile XZ is like a heavenly immortal cultivator :)
