XZ fans aren't his fans just for his pretty eyes. He has a very specific, very natural way to play his roles. I've seen him in several roles, and he was good at each, and every character he played was different. Of course, not everyone has to like him. He got the role of Tang San when he was not yet famous. Anyway, Tang San is his seventh serious role, if I'm not mistaken, so you can say that he is experienced.
Of course, there is a risk that the actors will not live up to their roles, but I have seen a few nightmarish incarnations of established actors, so I will approach the drama with some distance. I trust it will not be worse than the others in this genre, because those little scenes from the set that I saw and the photos look decent.

My little brain can't remember those beautiful and long names of organizations and awards, so let me say briefly: "The Untamed" is on the list of the 10 most influential tv series of 2019. Pretty good, considering it's webdrama :)
The award was given by a professional committee that evaluated drama and films for several months. Its chairmen are lecturers at film academies with a PhD in their fields.

Oh yeah, this song will never get boring for me. It's the eighth month and I still love it! ZhanZhan is so damn sexy!

Oh no, ZhanZhan is sweet, not me. I'm just helping people get to his sweetness :)
In Our Song, you will see a different XZ on stage each episode. I watched the program on an ongoing basis since November. I still watch him today, or at least the songs he performed. It still amazes me how he can take over the scene. He's just ... ZhanZhan :)

I did not give any name, you draw conclusions and use names.
We don't all have to like the same. We don't all have the same sense of humor. I watched the first episode, but although I like a few of the cast, the show was extremely uninteresting to me. If the "guest" showed up in the second episode, I would support the program, maybe I would even like it as with the others, but I felt reluctant towards the program.
There is a lot of competition on the market among entertainment programs. Most of these shows attract viewers by engaging celebrities. If the first episode is not strong enough to attract and retain viewers, viewers will not watch the second. If they feel cheated for it, they will instinctively feel aversion. It's a matter of simple psychology. That's what I wanted to say, even though I used the wrong words. If the producers let the fans believe and did not deny the rumors, but only upheld them, and then it turned out that "it was just a rumor", people had a right to feel betrayed.
To be clear, nobody urged anyone to boycott. But if, after three months of waiting, someone breaks the hearts of the fans again, it must be reckoned with the fact that they may feel aversion towards those who broke it.
You say it is unfair to the other participants? Probably. But was it fair to the viewers? I don't mind the other contestants, but the first episode wasn't interesting enough to keep me. If I had a great time on it, I might have stayed with the program despite the producers' controversial behavior.
You expressed doubt about "why Season 2 has worse ratings than Season 1", I gave you an explanation that I know. Today I gave the second. Of course you won't like it. But we really don't all have to like the same.

I'm glad, really :) Then you MUST see Our Song. I don't know an XZ fan who wouldn't fall in love with this show.

Have fun!

There is no news about XZ. Peace and quiet, you can sleep well. I have news related to XZ.
1. Jade Dynsty is very popular in Japan. The tickets sold out… in 4 minutes. Therefore, and with numerous requests from viewers, cinemas will show this film a few days longer.
2. Xfx (fans of XZ) continue to do charity. They are so preoccupied with it that they ignore the little insults that XZ encounters from the lips of certain people in the film community. Instead, other people in the film community take the floor. XZ has clear support in show business circles.
3. You know I don't like gossip, so I'll just write about the mood: the mood of the viewers and the media is that people expect the first episode of the drama with XZ before August 10th. There is a high probability that we will have The Wolf and The Oath of Love simultaneously. I just hope they won't be on the same day at the same time. Not much is said about Douluo Dalu, but it is one of the most anticipated dramas of the year and is still on the list of dramas confirmed for airing in 2020. Official information about these dramas is due to be released next week. We must wait patiently.
4. Remember, don't worry about rankings. Remember that XZ Studio has banned voting on the popularity charts. It's part of a plan that already brings XZ clear benefits.

But seriously, this kind of peace and quiet in the media about XZ hasn't been around for a long time. XZ fans can finally breathe freely;)

Yes! My eyes and ears rejoice at the news from China. Maybe all of this seems to be happening slowly, but the progress is clear. The project of cleaning the internet from hate works :)

It's too complicated and the explanation takes too much time and space to take up public space. If you are still interested and haven't found an explanation yet, please send me a private message.

You should have told me this earlier. I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't noticed that I have gone too far on one topic. Sorry. I promise not to give any more comments, so if anyone has a question, I invite to PM so that we don't bother the rest. Ok?

1. I don't know if you are aware of how much damage to XZ has been caused by rumors, false information and leaks. This man was abused for several months only because someone was constantly spreading rumors about him. I've seen it every day since the beginning of March. For the other actors, rumors are not dangerous, but fans of XZ must be careful five times as much. Everyone has been saying this for four months, so as not to spread rumors, because XZ is losing his job because of rumors, and they keep coming back. XZ fans have their own discipline and believe me, many of us bite our tongues not to spread some information that seems 100% to us
2. If Alice feels hurt, she can address me directly. Unless she needs a knight in shining armor, which I doubt because sometimes we talk privately like one XZ fan to another. Alice, if you're reading this, forgive me for getting caught up in this discussion.
3. The Wolf was licensed for 51 episodes, but platforms said there would be 48 episodes. Official information from Alice (note that I did not dispute her) is that The Wolf applied to the censorship committee to change the number of episodes to 48 This is important information because 48 episodes will allow this drama to be broadcast on tv, 51 - no, those are the rules. That's why I asked where the information about the change in the number of episodes came from? Is The Wolf not approved for the change and there will only be webdrama?
4. My tone is straightforward and rough, forgive me, I can't pour honey and my brain works on facts. Maybe I'm not "polite and tasteful", but at least I'm not commenting on people, but the information they provide. And if I have something really rough to convey to someone, I do it privately, not in a public forum. That's what PM is for.
5. I put the answer as a spoiler so as not to take up space on the forum.

I want to ask about it too. Can the person who made this change share with the class where she got the information? The changed number of episodes sowed anxiety in some fans here. A request to explain and silence my anxiety :)

I'll be the one to spoil the fun again, but you know that this is unofficial material from a private Weibo account? Did you notice the very poor quality of the recording and the inscription at the bottom? Do you know that this app is used to throwing in "gossip"?
Ok, let's assume this is official material, then why is the quality of the recording so bad?

XZ update July 21, 2020
1. South China continues to struggle with the flood and its aftermath. Chongqing also suffered. XZ and xfx continue to help.
2. XZ was supposed to take part in a media event a few days ago. Due to the flood, his participation was canceled. Haters tried to make a problem out of it, but they were held back by the official media, clearly pointing out that XZ was busy helping with the aftermath of the floods.
3. "Remaining Years" and "Wu Ji" (ok, not sure if Wu Ji) are on the 10 Golden Song list. The award was granted now, but songs from 2019 were considered. These are the top 10 songs of 2019. There are no placements, just the top 10. XZ did not participate in the ceremony. I would also have more important things on my mind if my hometown was hit by a flood.
4. XZ has been voted "China's Most Beautiful Idol 2020". Consequently, he was awarded the promotion by several dozen different media outlets. The prize is worth tens of millions.

Haters keep trying, but they don't have any power anymore. XZ is doing his job, has enormous public support and an ever-growing media support.
Everything indicates that we will see him in TOOL soon :)

I can tell you, why? Because the producers shot themselves in the knee. They lied to the fans and used their sincere, naive hearts. They let them believe that a certain star would appear on the show, they even campaigned under this account, and then it turned out that both the star and the fans were deceived. Not only the fans of this star decided that this behavior is unfair. Many acknowledged people from the environment loudly expressed their opinion that the producers were extremely dishonest. Therefore, after the second episode (it was supposed to feature this star), many people left this program feeling disgusted. Even show business should have some sort of ethics.

This movie is really funny and cute :)
I've known Zhang Xiaofan's story for years and I like this little goof. In the movie, he is exactly what Zhang Xiaofan should be in my opinion :)

The previous profile picture on MDL was nicer. Here Li Qin looks 40 years old. Dark colors age. Also, from this angle, her face looks unfavorable. I also miss her smile.
But that's just my opinion.

I did my own investigation and - don't get your hopes up - but I have similar conclusions to Alice Wang.

The TV station's previous tweet said nothing about The Wolf. The tweet was talking about another drama, but as Alice Wang said, this drama premiered in China much earlier and - I checked it for myself - is on the YT channel of this Korean TV station. Korean fans exchanged information that this tweet was about The Wolf and said that this drama would come after the end of the broadcast of the one whose title was given. So according to fans, the dates are for The Wolf.

I do not allow myself to hope. I prefer to be positively surprised than to be disappointed again. Especially that "There may be some changes depending on the Chinese broadcast schedule." and we know that this has happened more than once in China.

Why is this second post not on their homepage and why did some fan thank another fan for posting it with XZ' photo? These are rhetorical questions, because how would any of us know the answer to them?

Of course not to be on the top of the list is ok. Others are good at being much lower :)
XZ didn't lose fan support a bit. They don't vote because XZ forbade them. It's weird, it's kind of funny, but they have no choice.
I really like a statement by a Youtuber: "When an idol encounters difficulties, he is afraid that fans will run away from him. When XZ has encountered difficulties, the fans are afraid that he will run away from them."
This is the most honest truth.

He is dramatic in Joy of Life. Maybe it's not a big role, but for me it's a gem :)
