Hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX looking at chinese dramalnd in the past week
and we've got a lot of things going on because the Two Sessions meetings are done
and dramas decided to come out as if they are rushing through a broken water dam
and hitting us from all directions.
First, chronologically dramas that have gone live during this week.
On the 14th, the drama Gui Lu, Road Home
went live on both Mango Television and and iqiyi
the one that's led by Tan Songyun and Jing Boran, I have watched some episodes of it.
I've talked about that during the Thursday live stream
and but basically it's so slow and boring, that's my verdict so far.
I hardly have anything that I can talk about this drama.
Nothing happens in the drama basically
one day after that, on the 15th, a drama would live on Tencent
and it is the period drama I've mentioned also 1 week before
currently named Hua Liu Li Yi Wen, previously named Zao ZUo Shi Guang,
don't think the english title has changed, still, Royal Rumor
led by Xu Zhengxi and Meng Ziyi, a period fictional kind of comedy-ish drama.
I've been keeping up with it. It's watchable.
But if you are hoping for a masterpiece of comedy,
even in any way close to how bubbly and funny Tiger and Rose was
this is not yet close to that level,
quickly mention here the drama Ta Shi Shui, Who is He did go live
and then it's so far good enough as a crime drama led by zhang yi.
Then we have another drama that went live one day after on the 16th
on the platform iqiyi as a part of Mi Wu Ju Chang, Light on, the drama
Hui Xiang, Echo,it's led by Song Jia and Wang Yang plus many very well known actors.
It's a crime thriller suspense drama, above average i'd say
suspense crime drama from iqiyi's light on
considering the recent years' ones that are
all kind of like not really making very big waves.
If you have watched the Tencent drama Mo Tian Da Lou, murderous affair at the horizon tower,
this drama actually has very similar story structure and characters.
And the way it's done,
it's basically about one person who got murdered and then as the police investigate.
They realized this person is linked to so many different people
and they all have secrets and they're all telling lies in some ways.
And it has that very classic who is actually speaking making the truth
and you have to piece everyone's story together and figure out what really happened type of story.
So far. I'm very happy with the quality of the drama
among the two criminal dramas going on, I prefer this one.
It's just my personal thing, but the other one is not bad in any sense.
So if you like crime dramas both the Echo and Who Is He are worth going into right now,
then there are two dramas at as i'm filming this video,
they haven't said when, but it's likely within the next couple of hours or maybe
just over the weekend we're gonna hear definitive scheduling time for these two dramas,
one is contemporary drama, the Nothing But You, AI QIng Er Yi,
office lady versus tennis coach Zhou Yutong, Wu Lei
the other period drama that is very likely also to come out next week.
Tencent period drama i've also talked about recently Chun Gui MEng Li Ren
Romance of A Twin Flower that's led by Ding Yuxi and Peng Xiaoran
where DYX looks pretty much like tiger and rose Han Shuo,
that drama has released a new trailer during this week.
Female leads hairstyle I really cannot understand why she just doesn't even get a hairstyle
where the hair gets combed and up do, you know,
she plays the leader of inner household of aristocrat family
And she has the running around wild hair,
which is absolutely not acceptable by any standard in if it's based in ancient china,
any dynasty that would be like unthinkable, but anyway,
that trailer just makes it look like not having high hopes for it type of drama,
but until it shows up, let's hope at least it will have something different from other dramas going on.
And then we have two dramas during this week have both gotten the license to air from the censorship.
So they can both go live now anytime
one is a contemporary drama that 's set in the 1990s of a Hainan province town's
young people growing up that kind of youth story called Shao Nian Ba Bi Lun,
it's led by Hou Minghao, Yang Caiyu
then the other one has got the license as well is another contemporary drama called Te Gong Ren Wu
And english title is Spy Game, and it is a spy drama.
Contemporary one led by Han Geng, Wei Daxun, Li yitong
I haven't heard about this project before either, too many projects going on in chinese dramaland
The one thing I would say is it's so over photoshopped.
The actors don't even look like themselves anymore,
then we have quite a few projects that have started shooting during this week as well.
Number one is the very well known franchise, Da JIang Da He,
Like a flowing river from Zheng Wu Yang Guang, led by Wang Kai,
Yang Shuo, Dong Zijian, Yang Caiyu you know all those people.
It's the third season. They've just started shooting it this week,
and it's still the old cast, probably will have to wait till next year,
early next year to see this drama, but then good luck to them and hope it all goes well.
The other one that has started shooting is quite interesting called Bu Ke Gao Ren, English title Tell No One
and it's an iqiyi Mi Wu Ju Chang drama, suspense, thriller and crime, Cool
And the title kind of suggests that as well, we don't know much about the synopsis.
The casting of this drama is all Ou Hao, Li Yitong as the Leads
And then it would also include actors such as Yang Le, Zhang Guoqiang, and Hu Lianxin
Then we also have a drama that hasn't started shooting yet,
but 95% confirmed that it will be like this, which is a drama called Chun Se Ji Qing Ren,
english title so far on the dramalist website is There's A Lover in My Hometown
and the 95% confirmed rumor is this drama will be led by Li Xian
Zhou Yupeng and Wang Peng, very likely to start shooting like next week or something.
we're gonna hear confirmation and photos from the ceremony.
And since we're talking about already the third drama of Da Jiang Da He
zheng wu yang guang, Daylight Entertainment has recently taken part
in a drama expo and they talked about their projects
that they are about to roll out in a year or two coming.
And apart from DJDH and two more contemporary drama,
one very much like if there's no tomorrow that's similar to that.
They also have a one that's focused on heavy machinery industry that they are planning to shoot.
Then there are three period dramas also they are planning to start shooting
the this year and next year.
All three are very exciting, that includes Nirvana in Fire 3
should be the first one they start shooting among the three period dramas
if nothing went wrong, towards the later part of this year
I know there's rumors about who are the casted main leads floating online,
but it's not confirmed yet definitely not confirmed by ZWYG in anyway
So if you hear anything and you see anything on drama list that's not yet confirmed.
May happen like that may not
it's still gonna be the original author writing the story.
It's gonna involve at least two main leads male young guys,
but it's not BL, it's not BL okay?
but it just happens to be two guys.
That's definitely the most anticipated project from daylight entertainment period dramas.
There are two more. and they're both also very exciting.
One of them is a Sheng Hua-ish drama like it was fantasy with mythology.
The other one is a Wu Xia
ZWYG is really the company that's testing out the waters in every genre imaginable
because they did do the proper drama DJDH, they do period dramas,
but then also like different branches of period dramas.
Mythology is so fantasy world thing that it hasn't done before
wu xia it hasn't really done before either
and they did the Reset last year I mean this company although it doesn't produce
Every drama as the best drama out there,
some of them gets criticized very much,
but in terms of still being able to overall the highest average kind
of an best known dramas and having such good directors,
people have very high hopes for this company and its future work
and all actors in china I tell you, if it's a zwyg project,
particularly tier one director Kong Sheng, Li Xue, Sun Molong
if it's these three guys directing, all actors in china would fight to death
for a role in like the leading role in those dramas.
To end today's video, yeah we've had a lot of things going on this week.
Some big things have finally kind of get announced in the dubbing world in china,
which is two very famous dubbing actors who are both very veteran have
this week being officially announced by the company that they basically previously were at
due to that the procedures of all the legal things have gone through.
Now they can say it publicly they send out this announcement,
basically saying these two guys are now officially incarcerated for criminal offenses.
It hasn't really specified what exactly
once it went to court and finished all the proceeding,
we're gonna hear what exactly are the criminal charges.
The two best known chinese dubbing actors Jiang Guangtao and Bao Mu
whose real name is Song Ming
If you've watched enough chinese dramas,
even if you don't realize it's this guy and that guy's voice the face,
you know you don't match them, you've heard them.
In every freaking dramas almost, they are so well known.
Bao Mu has been the probably still to the day best known voice is
his dubbing for Prince Yu Nirvana in fire one.
That's his voice, a very recognizable, deep,middle age, trustworthy,
politician voice, that's that guy, and Jiang Guangtao
If you know anything about chinese dubbing,
you cannot pass this guy's name because he is
the probably most well known one working in the industry
due to his the voice of Jack Dawson when Titanic first came into china.
The chinese dubbing version , he has dubbed so many rows also in NIF1
he actually dubbed Jin Dong,but then in many other dramas,
he would be dubbing those very elegant characters.
He's also the voice in the radio play of The Untamed (Mo Dao Zu Shi) who did Jin Guangyao
master of a dubbing performance. Now they are both criminals.
This rumor actually has been going on for months
since the end of 2022 I already saw all the rumors about JGT being taken away by police
and it's kind of like already known in the whole world of dubbing.
It's just like their official company hasn't put out a statement yet,
but this time it's official, whether it's corruption, whether it's bribe,
whether it's taking money from the company that they shouldn't be doing,
or whether it's some kind of deals that it's like against the law.
it's not come clearly clear, once the whole thing settles down
and we've got actually sentences coming out, we'll hear about that.
Don't know if that's gonna affect their previous works of dramas or animation
because they also do a lot of anime
in a way it's sad just because they are so good at doing their job
like they are literally geniuses of doing dubbing,
but then it's not like there aren't new talents coming out every year.
We've had a house collapsing in three dimensional world,
two dimensional world to like everything is like collapsible now these days,
whether it's an actual actor who goes on screen or a voice performers who stayed behind.
I hope at the end of this video that you are having a great middle of March.
And if you have any multiple dimensional worlds' sweethearts,
I hope your love never house collapse on you.
Thank you for watching AvenueX I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile, live long and happy drama watching.
