I know right 😶😬.

Yes!!! 5 smls 🫨😀. YZ said that he is still on the stage of choosing the FL and in the latest post, he replied to an acc who said to choose 85 flowers he replied back with "Not necessarily. It depends on the schedule, my mood, and whether it’s suitable. I’ve just started asking." But it's best not to 100% trust his words, he likes bluffing for hype.

Unfortunately, I feel down too like is it REALLY that effing hard to treat him fairly as the male lead 😔?!. I feel you, I'm also worried about the rumored drama with YZ and I'm afraid for him being a background board to promote other actors again 🤦. It has 5 smls I'm speechless 😶.

Those so called "opinions" in douban are fueled by paid marketing with black water armies. As you know, Minghao experienced joint attack against him in attempt to smear him because he is being a serious threat to other artists and their backers. Those behind will purposely buy expensive black hot searches using malicious screenshots/clips of that variety show to bring him down. After having that heat, the crappy program team will then release the real clips/footages that shows what truly transpired in that situation and you will see that he is a victim of malicious editing. And douban is the safe haven from malicious haters and rumor mongers. It's best to watch the show yourself.

His fans (kiwis) will be always there beside him 🥝🫶. I hope if he renewed, a negotiation will be agreed upon with better terms for him 🥹.

I really hope that he will meet a crew that's serious in making a drama and will respect him and his role as a male lead. Is it that hard to ask for this bare minimum. Yes, the consolation from all of this was that he got to try a different role adding another diverse character in his acting resume. It's not "homogenous" type of roles and it is visible that he refuse to get typecasted. The thing about Hesong (his agency) is that they will refuse to let him go that easily. I really hope he gets better scripts that will not fck him over.

I'm trying so badly to calm myself 🧘.

Yes, he talked about that. Five smls gosh I just can't please 😃😒.

I get your frustration. It's either in the state of waiting for him to answer it or not but just in case... so it will not be another LITC official announcement that shook us kiwis to the core.

I'm extremely bitter about this. The drama can't even give him a strong arc of his own. Such a mess of plot coordination 😶.

Btw, speaking of his next cake, a reliable melon owner posted just yesterday 11:30 pmish that it's him. I think we need to ready ourselves 🫨.

Usually in order to achieve this, he needs to have a good backer. An agency that will prioritize him and will pay for good marketing. His agency can't even fight for resources and a powerful one is needed to ensure that he will receive a good resource that has strong plot, strong script, and interesting role and has the ability to even get him casted with a traffic flower in a big IP. Hesong neither has those, the scripts he starred in, the director and producer personally looked for him when it's Hesong's job to give him good resources. Not only his agency is useless, the boss personally visited him this month in Hengdian and waited for him to get off work in attempt to "pressure" or "force" him to renew his contract as it's rumored to expire in December. This agency sees him as their money bank but can't even treat him well.

I'm frustrated. When will the directors and screenwriters learn not to use him as a background board especially in the second half because it will never end well for the drama's popularity 🤦. This is the second time it has happened. In Fangs of Fortune, his role barely had anything going on in the first half, had his short moment in the middle which made it rise to 8734 heat index then was expected to surpass 9000 but the team took a break for 2 days when they know the drama is on its peak and doing so will affect the popularity. Then in the second half they made him into a background board again which further influenced the plummet of the heat index 😃. And the drama itself has flaws too, slow paced plot , dialogues, and a situation/arc of other character will stretch out for 4-5 (?) episodes when it can be solved in like 30 minutes or 1-2 episode 😀. Sorry for my rant because I can't take this anymore. I wish he will meet a crew that will respect him as an actor and not ruin the drama he stars in for the sake of other's capital in attempt to promote them.

Nevertheless, his character broke 9 in VLinkage 6x. You need a huge traction of discussion to achieve this. He's the only one in that drama who broke it. In Datawin, he's always ranked first. His highest record was that his role contribution accounted for 60% while the drama broke 2 with a peak of 2.119. His other co-95 actors achieved Diamond in Supertopic while cooperating with traffic flowers and he achieved this feat by not doing so. Not shading his other co-95s for this in fact it sometimes cross my mind that if he can cooperate with the traffic flowers too, will he get better treatment.

🤧😭

Same sentiments 😶.

Today, someone asked YZ if the ml and fl has been pre-selected and if it's from his own agency, he replied that the actors this time would be from outside his agency. He is not gonna use his own actors. I don't wanna to 100% jump into conclusion but him saying this made the rumor make sense or stronger for Minghao iykyk.

yes

We shall see but indeed, protect him at all cost 😩.

"After taking office as the magistrate of Chun'an County, the young champion Lu Jianglai repeatedly solved strange cases, but he was involved in an old case of murdering his wife, which caused him to fall from a rising star in the officialdom to a desperate situation. When he was on the verge of death, he was fortunately rescued by Rong Shanbao, the daughter of the tea king. The arrogant Lu Jianglai had once fought for power with the powerful Rong family, which led to Shanbao's deliberate revenge. Taking advantage of his serious injury and amnesia, and his identity being a mystery, he was taken home and demoted to the lowest groom. In order to avoid being hunted down, Lu Jianglai made the best of a mistake and pretended to obey. When the Rong family announced that they would recruit a son-in-law, it triggered a competition among the prominent families in Jiangnan, each with their own ulterior motives. Lu Jianglai was accidentally involved in it, and by mistake became a chess piece in the game between Shanbao and everyone else. One is an ambitious and resourceful heiress, the other is a rebellious, scheming young stable boy. They battle wits and courage, and fall in love with each other over time. They overcome all difficulties to solve old cases, catch the real murderer, join hands to reorganize the family, develop the tea ceremony, and conclude a love story in the tea garden."

This is the plot synopsis. YZ is another version of GJM just more loud and outspoken 😒.

Welcome. It's rumored to start in February.
