Hello, welcome to another AvenueX's video
looking at Chinese dramaland in the past week
on 3rd
Unexpectedly a very old drama came back as
a revamped high definition version
as high as technology would allow that is the very classic
One of my favorite dramas of all time, Mars, Zhan Shen
this is a 2004 drama
It's archaic.
Now this drama is on Youku
And they've used technology to make it as clean
and as sharp as they could possibly do.
So it is really currently the highest definition version online.
I've dragged through the entire 20 episodes timeline.
It actually contains
sort of 95% of the original drama
obviously cannot compare to
current 1080p or 4k quality because it was filmed
That long ago and voice recording quality is as bad as it used to be.
I am so happy
cause I love this drama so much.
I think I actually made a video talking about Mars a long time ago,
but somehow I couldn't find it anymore.
My channel has hundreds of videos and I don't go back to look at all of them.
So if time allows,
I should find an opportunity to talk about this drama again,
because I often say I don't have favorite of dramas,
but probably this one is an exception
within the idol dramaland, and even pushing it out further
because it's not just an idol drama.
It is one of my most treasured drama ever.
Anyway, very happy that now there is a rather
high definition version that we can see.
Then a drama went live on thursday, 4th
They told you they're gonna go live
2 days before it aired and they changed the title.
So previously in chinese, it's called a different name.
It's the Go Go Squid 2
So the english title can still stay the same Go Go Squid 2
which is Dt Appledog's Time
Yeah,such a long name,
but in chinese they've changed the title to Wo De Shi Dai Ni De Shi Dai
literally means your time and my time
or your era and my era which is okay, fine,
whatever
the drama is led by Hu Yitian and Li Yitong where the leads of
this drama are the sort of peripheral character of the first drama.
And the two male leads of the two dramas are cousins,
Han Shangyan and Wu Bai, the first dump of the drama is 8 episodes already.
Can you believe it?
To my surprise, i've actually run through
all eight episodes
record speed for me.
I'll still give it a little bit more time
to see if I should make a video about it.
But now you know this drama is out, suddenly
and talking about suddenly,
there couldn't be a more suddenly drama than
the drama that i'm gonna talk about now
which is it went live yesterday and it told you
it's gonna go live on the day that it went live.
So in the morning it says we're going live
Mid-day, it's live, Dou Luo Da Lu, Douluo Continent
led by Xiao Zhan and Wu Xuanyi and kind of
should have come out exactly a year ago
but because of xxxxxx what happened...
We all know in chinese entertainment,
crazy year
it's out on tencent.
It's out on cctv eight,
which is a channel of cctv that's dedicated to television series.
And I know if you've been following the news,
you already know, you don't need me to tell you the drama is live
So if you're interested in it
I have the full confidence in the research ability of my audience that you can
find this drama if you want to
then dramas that have released new materials.
First, it's a drama that may come out soon.
They haven't said when,
but they finally released the trailer, Rong Yao Ping Pang
Ping Pong
As you can tell table tennis themed drama and for the fans of the lead actors,
you probably know this for a long time.
it's kind of like floating for years.
Now, finally,
we are seeing the hope that this drama may come out soon.
The drama is led by Bai Jingting, Xu Weizhou
A youthful
Energetic sports drama that's focused on ping pong.
Then a quick piece of news about two dramas that were web dramas
Now will go on cctv eight satellite and china central television.
Dates unknown, but it has been said that they're
gonna go on satellite television, ultimate note.
Zhong Ji Bi Ji, that i've just made a video about and Qi Hun
Hikaru no Go
I'm so happy because in the past year,
there have been quite a few really high quality
web dramas that after it has aired on web.
Satellite televisions decided to pick them up including Winter Begonia
And this time again,
two dramas that i've really loved and they kind of don't fit
the normal satellite television series criteria of
cctv now they're both going on.
Again it proves high quality production,
passionate production production actually cares about its story.
Everybody can see it, people are not blind,
nobody is stupid.
When it's good, we all know it's good.
Then a drama has wrapped shooting on set, Wu Lin You Jiao Qi
English translation is even cuter
It says, Wu Lin has Squeamish...
kind of
correct
and the drama is led by Li Hongyi, Huang Riying
It is another costume period drama,
definitely will come with a lot of comedy because it's a
story about a gingseng that has turned into a human girl.
And I really like the female lead
She was the lead of To Get Her
She is also in Ancient Detective.
I can definitely do another drama period drama with her cute face.
Then there's another drama that has officially announced
they have started the production.
And finally it's an actor that a lot of people
have been waiting for, for him to become a lead,
because he always plays supporting role.
Now he's the lead.
This drama is called Ye Se An Yong Shi,
English title Love At Night
Love
Okay, and it's a contemporary romantic drama,
big city, big metropolis, people doing their white collar job and love story.
That type of thing and the leads are Zhang Yuxi and Liu Xueyi.
So if you are a Liu Li fan or Love and Redemption fan
You know him
good looking guy has been working in the industry for a long time,
always playing the supporting role.
Everybody's like, when are you ever gonna get a leading role?
It's here and the posters,
the style and the look looks really nice.
Hope this drama does well,
although contemporary romantic drama often is
a very big land mine field in chinese dramaland
then another drama has started shooting.
And I think a lot of people would be very interested in it.
It's called Meng Hua Lu
and it's led by Liu Yifei
This is a period drama that's based on a very famous
literature piece that was written hundreds of years ago
in Yuan dynasty by the very famous Guan Hanqing, playwright.
And it's based on the story Zhao Pan Er Feng Yue Jiu Feng Chen
In its essense, it's about courtesan sisters, helping each other.
One of them got married to a guy who abuses her.
So the other girl came to her rescue.
That's like the story.
If you dapple a little bit deep into chinese literature,
you would know this piece and it actually
has been adapted to screen previously.
So Liu Yifei as the lead will definitely be playing the heroic courtesan
The sad thing about Liu Yifei in television series is she hasn't been
in a television series for years years now and the one that
she's led with Jing Boran because of this
and hat reason has been again shelved for so long whatever
there has been so much rumor about when this drama.
is gonna come out or if it's ever gonna come out, the Nan Yan Zhai Bi Lu drama
Now a new drama is being made.
I mean it's chinese dramaland
it's very conceivable if this project goes well,
it may just come out.
Before the older drama.
Anyway, I hope it goes well for this production.
Sorry about the heater.
Currently it's-30.
I can't turn it off.
Then another thing started shooting during this week.
It's a film.
This film is based on the ip novel that is
already been made into a television series
Right now Shi Nian Yi Pin Wen Ru Yan
is now being made
into a tv series and a film at the same time,
obviously by different people.
The drama version i've talked about,
I think quite a few weeks ago.
Now the film version is led by Ding Yuxi and Ren Min
just by hearing these two names.
I'm like, okay
cause both of them I think with good directing can be very good actors.
And somehow I feel this film cast for this ip
would be a more trustworthy and safer cast.
Current english name is Ten Years of Loving You
but we shall see if at the end of it,
they're still gonna keep this name
then there's a drama that's been confirmed
will start shooting very soon and it will become another drama of Iqiyi's
Light On series, the series that has done so well last year
producing some of the best chinese dramas of 2020.
Now this project is on its way and very
interestingly it also features one actor from
previous Light On
Liao Fan, currently the name is called Tao Jin, Gold Panning.
It literally is about gold panning and
the leads will be Liao Fan and Chen Feiyu
I'm guessing the story will contain thriller
adventure that type of element in it,
probably mystery too, and I hope Iqiyi does a good script
because they've kind of already earned a really
good reputation for the entire Light On thing.
Now it really has become a brand within their domain,
hopefully they do well with this drama.
Then the final piece of news is to do with a film that now
has been filed and will going to production
Wandering Earth 2
It is the sequel to the best chinese sci-fi film to date
I can see the logic of cashing in on the
fame of the first film and the huge epic view
of universe and human life.
The only thing is the original material that
the first film is based on is a short story.
And it only goes that far.
So the second film probably will all be new,
created stories, whether it can match the quality and also the refresh.
surprise that the first film delivered
only time can tell,
so that will conclude this video.
Next week is chinese new year.
If you have time come and join my live stream on the 11th,
it should be in the morning of the north america time in general
I will definitely announce it before it happens.
We will be playing games in this live stream and
then there will be gifts for people
if you want.
Please come.
I'll try to make it as happy as fun as possible.
Thank you for watching AvenueX
I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile, live long and happy
drama watching
