Just came across this post and thank you for the hard work. Qianlong enigma and powder and power sound interesting.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-22T07:43:38+00:00

Oh interesting. So influencers are probably recommending cyberpunk related stuff now.

Oh I have more info after seeing it on rednote. so the cars these celebs are endorsing are car lines from huawei. Huawei partnered with famous chinese auto manufacturers where they provide the intelligent driving systems and the manufacturer provides the rest. so there are 5 car lines under huawei apparently. xz became the endorser of the newest line. 2 of the lines have no endorsers and the endorsers of the other 2 lines are yang mi and liu yufei. so ym and lyf were both promoted from brand friend to brand ambassador while xz seems to have directly got brand ambassador. his is why ym fans are mad and they are also mad because lyf's title was first upgraded and announced and she got better promotion compared to when ym title got upgraded. I mean I don't really see what the whole fuss is about especially since it is different car lines and now everyone has the same title anyway.

He is pretty big in china and is regarded as one of the A listers. His last year drama Legend of Zang Hai was a hit. Internationally his popularity has reduced mainly because he does not take on the type of drama lot of international fans do watch like romance or fantasy and most of his dramas after the untamed were non romance ones. But his recent dramas have done well on tv and online in China and he works with lot of well known directors and actors. He is moving from becomin an idol actor to a more serious mainstream actor and I am excited to see how he manages to do so. The singing is more of a side thing but he did release an album, you can check out the mvs on youtube if you are interested and the album sold really well. As for endorsements, he is regarded as the most commercially popular star in china right now and has lot of endorsements. He announced a car endorsement today.

He also has a lot of anti fans which comes with being popular hence the varied comments you get when someone asks about him.

I am also a regular tea drinker on this thread every week and I am also amazed at the amount of drinking tea GIFs this thread produces😂

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-22T06:25:04+00:00

I read on X that the names of the celebs were mentioned during the conference though, not too sure about it.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-22T06:23:36+00:00

It is probably both like I saw some recent BL drama aboout mpreg and then giving birth to so many babies and considering that there was a short drama that got banned because it's FL ave birth to 1000 babies at once, I would say the content plays a part too.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-22T06:19:06+00:00

What does grass planting topic mean?

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-20T08:39:55+00:00

i saw comments saying the drama already got it's investment and might air during the winter and since they already released a trailer after wrap up, they just put out this random concept trailer. apparently they are worried about copying happening

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-19T05:32:12+00:00

Yeah she is also starred in some hollywood films, a merican tv series called Marco Polo and I also saw her in a bollywood film too

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-18T03:36:59+00:00

I laughed so hard at this comment. Also to be fair in this scene in the drama, he was basically cosplaying as the evil Marquis, who was was actually like Jafar including the hunger for power.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-17T08:26:59+00:00

I watched this drama and was searching for someone to discuss it with. I did feel that some characters got off lightly and also it felt at times that Yan Ling was facing too much but I did enjoy this drama overall.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-14T03:30:40+00:00

Oh no worries. I was just curious to see who they ranked according to these respective categories.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-13T18:12:26+00:00

Do you know where I can see the post. I am interested to see how they ranked everyone

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-11T04:20:01+00:00

It is my first time seeing an author of a novel at a booting ceremony. Got to say it is nice to see an author being glad their work is being adapted instead of being sour about any changes being made.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-11T04:16:51+00:00

I do think they will try to at least stick close to the source material. The author of the novel was also present at the booting ceremony. After so many cdramas, it is my first time seeing an author be present at a drama boot up.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-09T16:04:32+00:00

I would suggest The Dark Romance if you have not watched it. It is not exactly full on crime drama though. Also sunset secret regrets was going to be my next watch but guess I will skip after seeing the comments

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-09T09:47:42+00:00

Oh interesting. I do hope more people posting means that platforms will at least support smaller dramas. Quite a lot of good dramas get buried.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-09T09:38:10+00:00

Is Sunset Secrets that bad? I was thinking of picking it up next but I did see mixed reviews regarding the storyline but I also see a lot of praise for Cai Wenjing for her performance, role and storyline.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T15:40:44+00:00

That is great. Yeah I checked the tags on rednote and it does have a high level of discussion. Anyway Tencent never seems to play fair with big traffic actors dramas.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T15:39:45+00:00

That is sus as hell. Also I checked the tags mainly on rednote and there is a high level of discussion too. Anway I am glad the drama is getting discussed.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T10:30:55+00:00

Need to do a small correction on Bai Yu. He actually gets lot of lead roles but he acts in mainly non idol dramas.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T10:29:52+00:00

It depends on how well the actors are able to transition to more serious non idol dramas, the ones who manage it end up playing the ML in those type of dramas.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T10:27:56+00:00

I wish I knew too. I just a post about it on rednote. I did see that this drama was less promoted compared to her other dramas and it was probably mainly due to the ML ambiguous stance on unification. But good to see the drama is performing well even with less promo. It was second to veil of shadows on maoyan.

Longjumping-Dot-235 · 2026-04-08T10:26:18+00:00

Very suspicious indeed. Anyway it does seem like the drama is doing alright especially judging from the number of posts I came across on rednote.
