A reliable melon account shared Gong Jun and Zheng Ye Cheng as the leading actors☀️

From Moonlight Mystique’s ruthless Fan Yue to Coroner’s Diary’s cold‑blooded Yan Chi, all the way to My Queen My Rules’ authoritarian CEO 😎🤙🏻. Cold roles suit ARP so well 😍🔥.

I noticed it a few months ago too, lol. It makes male actors even more attractive. ZYC gives off that same vibe 🔥

The drama has now obtained a broadcast license. I wonder if iQIYI might swap the plain poster for a CP one now…

According to MDL’s new rule, whichever poster the official platforms use for dramas will also be used on MDL. That’s why they replaced the CP poster of The Boundless Bright Moon with this plain one.

270K reservations🎉🎉🎉

A few days ago, when the rumor came out that it had passed the second review, I felt we would soon get official news 🥹. Finally, our Ming Yue Cang Mang has passed the second review and received its broadcast license! I hope it airs as soon as possible 😍.

When they say “New Year,” I don’t know if they mean the one we know or the Chinese New Year. But as far as I know, the Chinese New Year comes a few months after our calendar’s New Year. That’s why the release is highly likely in the 1st or 2nd quarter of next year. All the special effects are already completed, it has passed the review, and they are doing the dubbing right now. But it seems Da Cheng won’t be doing his own voice 🥲. At the very least, I hope the voice actor from My Sassy Princess will dub him. His voice is so high-quality — I was really impressed by it in that drama.

Platforms like iQiyi invite actors from agencies they collaborate with to award ceremonies. Da Cheng manages his own studio, and his connections are very weak. In a country like China, if you don’t work with any agency, you won’t appear at award ceremonies and you won’t get the recognition you deserve. I hate this system, because it deprives talented actors of their rights. Only the popular actors with strong backers are invited to award ceremonies. By now, even before the list is announced, it’s very easy to guess who will attend the award ceremonies 😃.

He truly deserves praise. Right now, the filming of his new drama has been completed, and I’m sure he is already reading new scripts. He works so hard just to make us fans happy.

If the special effects were really done by the LBFD team, then TBBM has no chance of being bad. In LBFD the quality was overflowing from the screen. I truly hope this news is true 🥹.

A Chinese netizen’s Weibo post:

"Domestic xianxia dramas are rising again! “The Boundless Bright Moon” has become a hit on Netflix, and overseas fans are urging updates online: “Hurry up, release the official version!”

- Peng Xiaoran’s dark transformation conveys a fragile, broken feeling
- Zheng Yecheng’s fight scenes are fast, steady, precise, and crisp
- Backed by the Chinese Paladin team + Love Between Fairy and Devil special effects
- Contract bonds + world-saving adventure

It blends grand themes of loyalty to the nation with delicate emotional storytelling.
36 episodes, no filler — I’m already camping out waiting for the premiere! "

A Chinese netizen’s post:

"I heard that ‘Ming Yue Cang Mang’ has passed the second review, but it still needs some minor revisions. It’s impossible to be scheduled before the New Year, but it might be after 😊😊 #明月苍茫."

When the drama’s composer was asked, “Can TBBM be released before the New Year?” he replied with this emoji: “🤫”

Unfortunately, no leading-role drama was released this year. One of the negative sides of the Chinese entertainment industry is that they often target actors in order to ruin a drama. This year, Da Cheng also became a victim 😔. But since he has always had a warrior’s spirit, he never gave up. For him, this year was both painful and difficult, yet the second half turned out to be good. Because his agency is independent, he cannot take part in many high-traffic dramas. Right now, he has many dramas in stock, all waiting to be released next year. Below, I’ll explain which ones 👇🏻.

1) Seeds of Scarlet Longing (mini costume drama) – Filming was completed in September. The director said that trailers and promotional content would be released gradually until the end of the year. All arrangements for the drama have been made. Investors are being sought. It is planned to be released in January next year.

2) The Boundless Bright Moon – Sent for a second review. Planned to be released in the 2nd–3rd quarter of next year.

3) Zhong Mo Yuan – Planned to be broadcast on CCTV at 20:00 in May (according to information from fans).

4) The Assassin – Received its release license in December 2024, but was not aired this year. Most likely it will be released next year.

5) Hero Legends – (Da Cheng is not the first male lead here, but one of the main roles). Planned to be released in the 3rd–4th quarter of next year.

6) An Eternal Thought – This drama does not yet have a release date. At first, it was considered Tencent Video’s S+ project and consisted of 60 episodes. In 2021, when the 40-episode limit was introduced, episodes started being cut down to 40. At that time, the female lead was involved in a scandal, so the drama was shelved. I was very excited for this drama. It was a Wuxia drama with Da Cheng as the male lead (male-centered). But the chances of it being released are very slim 😔, as 4 years have already passed...

On December 6, Zheng Ye Cheng completed the filming of the drama Zhong Mo Yuan. Initially, the shooting was planned to last 108 days, but thanks to the team’s hard work, it was finished in 78 days. The director praised Da Cheng a lot. Moreover, Zhong Mo Yuan is both a CCTV drama and an S+ drama.

This year, Da Cheng consecutively filmed a movie, a historical mini drama, and one modern S+ cultural drama. Because of his intense work, he has become very thin. Since it’s New Year’s Eve, he should take a good rest. I hope he joins a new team at the beginning of next year 🥹. That way, both ZYC can rest and fans will be satisfied 😅. I wish his next drama to be a full-length historical drama 🥹💖.

Zheng Ye Cheng shared photos from Peng Xiao Ran's birthday party and the message he wrote in the caption:
'A sparkling day, thanks to Xiao Ran for inviting me to the party'✌🏻

This was the part of the concert I watched with excitement—ZYC and PXR singing hand in hand, while fans screamed in response 🥹💖.
Every few months they meet up, and by interacting, they make us viewers realize our longing for drama and cause it to grow 😭😭. Please release TBBM as soon as possible!

From A Legend film, ZYC and PXR are beautifully supporting their friends here. PXR had attended Da Cheng’s birthday party. Now Da Cheng has joined Peng Xiao Ran’s birthday party ❤️. Below I’ll leave a few links from the concert for those who would like to watch.

Can someone tell me what happened? In the comments of today’s Weibo post, one of his fans was telling him to take care of his health and focus on healing his old injuries. Which drama did he get injured while filming? I was wondering why he didn’t join a new team this year . Turns out it was because of the injury…😔

I’ll give this a try, lol. Because I really wanted to watch FoF.
