I completely agree lol! I think the cindustry enforced this billing issue with the unnecessary perks that go with 1st billing. and then with crazy fans involved it just became worse.

zheyuan got unlucky and met the greediest of all things greedy. because tell me why she would not agree to equal billing knowing it's his story and he's just as popular as she is now.

honestly lets just look at it like everyone that is meant for success will have to go through their own rough patch.
maybe greater things are in store for him

like you said the controversy paved the way for future disrespect. Hopefully he can overcome this with future projects or it will continue to follow him for a long time.

I'm also hoping you're right about LJ🙏

the 1st billing controversy was an unfortunate situation. I feel like everyone could have handled it better to prevent the aftermath on him.
but yes I can see why jjy feels like the villain in the story because her agency and fans set the stage for the stain in his reputation when they could have very easily agreed to equal billing and prevented this.
I think they were trying to cater to her fans because of how angry they were when rumors first started of the billing position, and didn't care how much it would ruin his reputation.

also when I said czy wouldn't push for billing with someone of her status I meant DB not jjy.
I've seen a lot of fans claim the drama is just rumors, I still don't understand why everyone is so sure it's rumors.
This 'rumor' literally ruined his reputation further, why would his agency stay quiet if its just a rumor? all they had to do was put out a statement but they didn't. like yes his agency is very incompetent but not to this extent.
Everyone saying it's because it's a tencent drama so its not believable, but tencent could have easily reached out to him he has filmed 2 major dramas with them.
This is my opinion anyway, I could be wrong or right but I very strongly believe he was involved in some form. what we don't know for sure is exactly how involved he was for his agency to not put out a statement refuting all the bad comments.

all we can pray for now is for grammarie to step up and do better or he'll continue lagging behind while everyone else advances, also for twot to shut antis up forever

delusion runs deep indeed. she doesn't have a single hit drama to her name. she has no solid fandom and absolutely no traffic.

at the end of the day czy fans will still have to carry the drama with the small traffic we have.

they need to sit down there and be thankful that czy recommended her for the drama and gave her the best script of her career.

Also I watched reuters and I don't know if it was just me noticing something was off with her vibes towards him. czy laughs and plays a lot with all his partners but for them she was so stiff, mostly ignoring him or just being generally off??

honestly I want to believe I saw it wrong and I'm just overanalyzing, i guess we will know for sure in behind the scenes videos and their random tour episode

agree with everything you said honestly. and you're right maybe I don't know the full story.
About 1st billing, she and her agency and fans caused most of the damage for sure.

they created the crack in his reputation but I think it was that 2nd billing controversy that really hit his reputation hard. whether it was true or not his agency should have handled it better!
If he was really involved in the drama like melons say and iqiyi or agency pushed for billing again then that's just absolute madness. if he wasnt involved how dare his agency stay quiet and ruin his reputation further.

like I said, I think he was involved in the drama in some form that's why they couldn't deny the rumors.

there's no way czy would push for billing with someone of her status so what i still think is iqiyi pushed for equal billing because they invested, with absolutely no regards for his reputation. and his agency is powerless and useless against iqiyi since they own them so they just sat there and did nothing.

what rising actor has 2 major billing controversies in less than 2 months, it's career suicide honestly. I really hope he can regain some grace back from netizens with twot because if not it won't be good for his future projects.
it's sad that all eyes are on twot now including antis. so much pressure, and if it does badly, that would really be the nail in the coffin.

koala playground is an eng news portal for Chinese entertainment and the comments there about him since the billing issues have become so nasty, I can't even imagine what it's like on Chinese platforms

when i said most popular cdrama and top 4 most popular c-actors i meant international popularity not chinese popularity.

international popularity is high but chinese popularity is still behind because agency can't move fast

I hear it's not an s+ drama. if its s+ we won't have to worry about costumes right?

guys sorry I'm new to the fandom so excuse my many posts lol. it's just nice to find an active portal for him.

my biggest thing I'd like to discuss is grammarie. are they just completely useless or maybe just don't have the resources to fully support him???
he waited 7 long years for a breakout and finally hidden love happened, why couldnt they capitalize on it at the peak popularity of it all?? like hidden love is one of the most popular cdramas ever.

atleast open an Instagram!! he's literally top 4 most popular c actors right now with xz, yibo, and wang hedi
luxury brand endorsements tooooo like there's no way luxury brands didn't reach out to him since hidden love? sign luxury brand endorsements, attend fashion weeks and use his international popularity to push the chinese side! wang xing yue literally just signed with Fendi and loewe soon and the double didn't even reach half the impact hidden love did.
I know gucci reached out but they have xz already and his traffic is already crazy so they won't pay any special attention to czy. plus czy doesn't even have instagram for this brands to know his level of international popularity

also why did they wait so long to open his studio??? and I hear another unknown actor from his agency opened the same day as him? he waited 7-8 years to break out to even get a studio but unknowns can get their studio just like that?

I saw this video of lusi in Thailand at the peak of hidden love popularity in Sept last year and I was just thinking to myself, czy is literally just as popular there too. the difference is she has a smart agency that immediately capitalized off hidden love's success meanwhile czy's agency keeps managing him with a NUGU mindset. they'll ruin him if he stays at that agency

hoping for the best too but we actually don't know anything for certain. as far as i know he didnt say 'past projects' he just spoke generally so it could be this project but youre right it's best to be positive. (btw I actually like the novel I think the plot is very catchy so I hope they keep the main essence of the novel atleast)

🥝 needs to finally give him some good s+ projects!
czy taking all the heat as imaginary iqiyi Prince while getting nothing from them, meanwhile there's a whole z*LH with his last 5-6 projects at 🥝

is anyone else worried the drama czy referred to in random tour is this new costume drama?
the one he wasnt sure about filming? what if he gave in and just decided to film it even though script is mediocre

new czy fan here. agree with her agency escalating the situation and riling up her fans but i honestly think the blame here should be on how iqiyi and grammarie handled the situation. especially with the 2nd billing controversy.

ive seen many people say he was never offered that role and its just rumors but i think theyre wrong. i think he was offered the role and iqiyi screwed it up for him.
theres absolutely no way his agency, no matter how useless they are, would have stayed quiet knowing how bad a 2nd controversy would affect his reputation.

if he wasnt involved with the role, grammarie would have posted a statement just like how they did with the 1st billing issue.

I personally think grammarie and Iqiyi will both ruin his chances at a great future. he needs to escape.

His agency in particular seems so beyond useless omg!! like do they hate him?
