Hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX
looking at chinese dramaland in the past week.
And during this video, you probably are gonna see
insanity weather behind me.
Let's get into talking about chinese dramas
and we've got a lot of things happening.
During this week
chronologically,
supposedly on 21st a drama should go livee on Tencent
which is the second drama of the series of drama called Gu Yu
Talking Bones 2
Don't know if many people have watched that drama.
The first one happened.
Year or two ago.
I think i've watched a couple of episodes of that drama
at the beginning of it
and then didn't feel very attracted to it.
So I left it there.
But second series is coming.
So if anyone is interested in that crime drama,
that's focused on police investigating
a little bit csi type of drama still led by the actress Zhang Lingxin
who you probably are most familiar with as
Xiao Dong in the drama Nirvana in Fire
Then another drama on the same day also on Tencent plus.
Beijing television satellite television
should also go live called Wo Men De Hun Yin
Modern Marriage.
This drama is led by Bai Baihe and Tong Dawei,
also featuring very lovely actresses such as Jiang Xin and Gao ye
people in their 30s type of marriage focused drama.
And today we're gonna talk a lot about "marriage"
wait till the later of this video.
Then 2 days after that,
on the 23rd,
a drama is scheduled to go live.
And i'm already excited about that.
called Xiang Feng Shi Jie, Challenges at Midlife
Okay, that's definitely more drama drama drama than the marriage drama.
Wait till you hear why I would say that
this drama is gonna be led by Lei Jiayin, Yuan Quan, Zhang Yixing, Jia Nailiang
Then you look at the production company of this drama
Which is Shan Ying (山影）Shan Dong Ying Shi
which is the mother sort of company of Zheng Wu Yang Guang
Daylight Entertainment.
And then you look at this drama‘s writer A Nail，
who is the person who wrote All is Well Like A Flowing River/Ode to Joy
like all those daylight entertainment dramas written by her.
So with that,
it's definitely gonna be a super Gou Xie (狗血 melodrama)
with a lot of super super tropey elements,
but then exciting kind of contemporary drama
with very very solid actors
cannot wait.
During last week we've had the 15th day of the first month of chinese new year,
so that will be Yuan Xiao Jie (元宵节）
Traditionally a huge huge festival and then
one day before that was valentine's day.
So as you can imagine valentine plus yuan xiao,
pretty much every drama that's out there has
thrown out some new materials posters trailers
So i'm gonna just very quickly flash some of the posters of the dramas
just to let you know that they are very conscious of being present.
That out of the way let's keep talking about dramas
at different stages of production.
First a drama wrapped literally at the very end of last week,
which is the fantasy period drama,
Xue Ying Ling Zhu, Snow Eagle Lord
led by Xu Kai and Na Zha
So into post production,
let's see if we can get to watch this drama within this year.
Then there is a project that's being announced that
probably will make quite a few of my audiences happy,
which is a contemporary drama that's online on iqiyi
and I know a lot of people love it a lot
Yi Shan Yi Shan Liang Xing Xing, Shining for One Thing
That's led by Zhang Jianing and Qu Chuxiao
I've watched parts of it.
It's not my cup of tea,
but I know it's a cup of tea for a lot of people,
both on china's internet and also on my discord server.
I can see that
and i'm very happy for all the people who love this drama
and love the characters.
A film version of this drama has just got the green light.
If you're not happy about the ending of the drama
where it kind of ends on a very ambiguous note
you don't quite see what happens.
I think the film version is gonna give you the answer
because the poster kind of showed you you know clearly
it's from the guy's angle looking at the girl, so
lovers of this drama you have something to look forward to.
then quite a few drama started shooting during this week.
We have Qian Ye, The Eve
not like Eve and Adam Eve
the night evening eve,
it's a min guo espionage drama.
When you hear min guo, usually it's espionage drama,
it's gonna be led by Ou Hao, Zhang Huiwen
in its copy writing when they announces drama
about QIng Chun Die Zhan
Youth and Espionage
you know, Espionage is really serious.
It's a little bit worrysome
let's hope it doesn't have absolutely
stupid plot writing,
but then it wouldn't be the first time it happens in chinese dramaland
If it ended up like that.
Also a period drama has started shooting.
And i'm super excited for it.
It's called Yin Niang
english title, The Assassin
Nie Yinniang
Anybody watched that film before?
it's about that assassin,
female assassin character existed in Tang dynasty.
and this seems to be related to that.
It's set in Tang dynasty after An Shi Zhi Luan
the very important, historical, huge, rebellious act
that kind of cut Tang dynasty in two in its history.
Anyway, it's set after that,
and it's focused on a group of assassins.
I love that cause period drama,
Tang dynasty and assassins,
that means a lot of fighting scenes
And the casting is gonna be Zheng Yecheng, Qin Lan, Hu Lianxin
Zheng Yecheng
You guys know, I like his fighting scenes
He's one of the best
Qin Lan
I think Qin Lan and Zheng Yecheng belong to
two different generations of actors,
but it will be really cool to see them working together.
Hu lian xing is the young actress if you are
watching Ren Shi Jian, A Lifelong Journey, that drama now
she plays the daughter of Song Jia
I will keep an eye on this production's progress for sure.
Then in contrast to my excitement of Assassin,
starting to shoot
to my
despair,
and I already decided when this drama comes out,
if in any way it annoys me,
i'm gonna rent the hell out of it,
which is they've started shooting Xian Jian Si
Chinese Paladin 4
if you are familiar with this whole ip
it's based on a game.
So this is not the 4th drama.
It is based on the 4th game.
And the leading cast is gonna be Chen Zheyuan, Ju Jingyi, Mao Xiaohui
and who plays Murong Ziying?
Mao Zijun?
It doesn't matter.
okay doesn't matter.
I don't care about the later ones.
I just look at the fact that the female lead role from the game,
Han Lingsha is gonna be played by Ju Jingyi
The reason being this game is very special to me personally.
yeah you know when your baby gets touched,
Dao Mu Bi Ji (盗墓笔记） fans out there.
you know what it feels like.
That game is one of the best games of the Xian Jian series,
in my opinion,
and widely agreed by most of the Xian Jian players.
and it happens to be the only Xian Jian game
that I've actually played through till the end.
By creating super weapons.
so I had to try hundreds of times to make super weapons successful,
and then save the particular game and then go back
and be able to fight the final boss
I remember it so clearly,
when I finally got through it, I was so happy.
It's the only Xian Jian game I managed to do.
So I have very strong emotional attachment to this game.
And i've heard about the rumor about she is gonna
play the female lead role since last year,
and I was like really pissed when I first heard that.
Now it's it's already starting,
you can't stop it.
Baby is already on the way to be born.
you know what my opinion about her acting is
crap
chen zheyun. I think I can deal with him being Yun Tianhe
the male lead character of the game.
I think it's okay.
The other two.
i'm also okay with that.
I don't think it's gonna be great acting out of it,
but it wouldn't offend me too much,
but Ju Jingyi playing Han Lingsha
oh my god
oh shit,
any Xian jian player out there, right?
i'm pretty sure you love all those four characters,
because they're very well written game characters.
And I think any sane people wouldn't be happy.
If you love the game to be happy about the casting choice,
all I can say is when the drama comes out, if it's crap,
i'm gonna AK47 it.
Then another drama also started shooting
very fresh news literally happened yesterday.
The drama is called Ru Guo Hai You Shi Jian
when you hear the title
you know it's not good story
like happy ending
because english title is If There is Still Time Left
which is a pretty accurate translation,
contemporary drama led by Lin Yi and Li landi
Pretty familiar, I think.
to my audiences, young people's romantic contemporary story,
but the male lead haracter is going to have
ALS
my hope for it is please if you're gonna show this really,
really terrible disease as one of the major thing of this drama,
do it justice.
It's always tricky when you have to have a character
who has a very serious terminal disease of some sort,
or like disability of some sort,
how do you play the balance game of making it emotional impactful
But then not kind of like sell and milk on it.
Hope this scriptwriter is a
intelligent and reasonable person enough,
then to wrap up today's video, like I said earlier,
it's gonna be about marriage
because this week we've got 2 pieces of news of a divorce
and a marriage happening in entertainment business.
During the week of valentine's day hey
couldn't be more perfect
and ironic.
So first bad news or good news.
Actually, it's a divorce.
Wu Qian 吴倩 and Zhang Yujian 张雨剑 they are divorced
officially.
Yeah.
Good for her!
the entirety of chinese entertainment plus anybody who cares
about entertainment business
has been waiting for this moment.
I won't go into the details of the gossip.
If you're curious,
you can search online and there's plenty of material
out there about why
why internet is like.
So happy for Wu Qian,
for her finally to divorce Zhang Yujian
good for her
very good for her.
I hope her career goes up up up from here.
She has a lot of potential actually,
but she's being definitely definitely pulled back in her career
advancement in the last couple of years due to
being married to him and giving birth to a child.
anyway,
happy for the beautiful lady to be finally free.
Then there's a marriage news
literally just happened yesterday as well,
which is the people have known that they are a couple for a long time.
The hunan television hosts Shen Mengchen沈梦辰 and Du Haitao杜海涛
They're married
Hope they have a successful and long lasting and happy marriage,
like hope it's long lasting.
if it's happy
you know, If it's not happy then
these days, right?
That would be the end of this video.
There's another gossip news about a very promising young
actress now kind of being caught by paparazzi is
in a relationship with the guy that everybody is like,
what the heck why did you pick him?
it's not 100% confirmed and 2 concern people
haven't really come out and admit it.
I'm just gonna yeah if you've heard about it, you've heard about it.
If you haven't don't worry about it,
it's just somebody and and somebody are dating.
The girl is very adored by the general audience in china,
kind of consider as the national little sister.
And then the guy
idol who's got a lot of bad news attached to him.
So mhm
why do you go and dig out a boyfriend out of a garbage can?
that's basically yeah it, but hey
this is entertainment business,
nothing new at all.
That should conclude AvenueX's video of this week.
Quite eventful.
Thank you for watching.
Please take care.
I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile, live long and happy drama watching.
