Hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX
looking at Chinese dramaland in the past week
and let's get right into it
as usual in order of things going live and
and will go live and then
chronologically on the 4th
one day after my last week's video,
the drama just went live without announcing
called Ta Men De Ming Zi on Youku.
English title is Rising Lady in terms of the main characters.
It's very similar as to Delicious Romance where you
have three main female roles who are leading the drama.
And it's a story about contemporary women,
at different age and different situation in life
and how they deal with that.
I think i've talked about it.
Once or twice.
It's led by Qin Hailu, Bai Bing, Wei Wei
So these are the three main female roles and then also featuring male actors,
such as Jing Shijia, Dong Youlin, Dai Xiangyu
this drama is airing on a daily basis
as it goes live on both web and satellite television
and i'll see if it's worth making a review about,
then on the 7th on iqiyi, a drama went live,
on both web and then CCTV satellite television
called Qin Ai de Sheng Ming, Beloved Life
It is a contemporary medical drama led by
Song Qian, Yin Fang, Wang Xiaochen, Hu Xinger ,
All very know actors,
and as the title suggests, Beloved Life
it's actually featuring the specific department.
Gynecology and obstetrics
giving birth to babies specialized doctors.
I haven't had time to check out this drama at all.
I just knew it went life without announcing
it's pretty much another airdropped drama,
then it has just been announced 2 days ago that
on the 11th a drama is going to go live,
which I will definitely 100%, 150%, 1000%
checkout when it goes live,
Ni An Quan Ma, Are You Safe
The drama i've mentioned once before when its first trailer was
released and I was super excited because it's a cyber safety
type of hacker drama \
with quite a bit of thriller element,
and then it's led by Tan Jianci and Rong Zishan
during this week, they've released two more new trailers
and told you that it's gonna go live on the 11th.
and the trailer looks pretty good.
I have high hopes for this drama
I think it's gonna be plot wise a quite tense and interesting watch,
but also it has character element,
it has very strong,
specifically written characters,
at least that's how the trailer reads.
I mean if it turns out to be a cheat drama,
then I would only say the editor for the trailer is very good.
and let's hope that's not the case.
Let's actually hope this is a good drama.
Then on the 16th on Tencent,
a second season of a previous drama is going
to go live which I haven't watched before.
but I have heard about it
called Wai Xing Nv Sheng Chai Xiao Qi, My Girlfriend is An Alien,
This is the second series
I have a vauge impression of the existence of the first series.
Don't think i've watched it,
but it's led by Wan Peng and Xu Zhixian
I really like Wan Peng
So this drama,
i'll see if I get the time to watch it,
I probably would need to watch the first series to have
an idea about where the second series and story comes in.
And depending on if this drama gets really good response,
then I probably will go and check it out.
Then let's talk about a couple of other dramas that have
been promoting itself or telling you where they are at.
First is last week we talked about a couple of
dramas that are short listed for September.
And during this week,
one of them is promoting like crazy on Youku,
which is the Xiao Sen Li, Romance of the little forest,
Led by Zhang Binbin and Yu Shuxin, new trailers,
a lot of promoting shots,
all kinds of stuff are just like coming out.
I'm like, come on, just throw it out and tell us when
they're so teasing it.
I feel like next week it's gonna air drop.
The thing is on the 17th this month,
it's gonna be the big event of the celebration
for Cang Lan Jue's success for the ite and drama's team
they're gonna live stream and also on a day you're
gonna get the Xiu Luo Chang 修罗场 moment of the new happy camp
on Hunan television where Wang Hedi, Yu Shuxin and Zhang Binbin
are gonna show up in the same one
they're gonna fight to death.
The two guys.
I don't see why Youku wouldn't put out the little forest just before that.
Let's see.
If I were right ha ha ha
next week highlightly the drama is just gonna air drop
then during this week Qing Jun, thousand years for you.
Li Qin and Ren Jialun drama has released yet another new trailer.
I didn't expect it's actually a comedy
because in the trailer it actually tells you how the
min guo time female and male lead's relationship work
and it's not what I expected.
She comes from the powerful almost mafia family
of that area and then the guy marries in.
So Ren Jialun's 3,000 years old,
god of war somehow marries in to her family.
The thing that's worth noticing in that trailer
is both of them are using their own voice.
I'm haven't confirmed it with anything I just listened
and I think I recognize it's RJL and LQ's voice
for that. I would always encourage that more than dubbing,
but honestly I think ren Jia lun needs a lot of work in his line delivery
Then last week we've already mentioned
the leaked photos of all kinds of productions
this week one of them just wrapped which is NIng An Ru Meng
The English title right now on dramalist is Story of Kunning Palace
I doubt is gonna stay that way till the end when it actually airs.
Probably next year.
But anyway, that's the Bai Lu and Zhang Linghe drama.
Based on an IP novel.
One of my best friend has just read novel
and told me what the novel is about.
So I don't have to read it myself,
but I have a rough idea about what it is.
Now I look forward to their performance.
That's all I'm gonna say,
particularly for zhang Linghe,
because he's finally gonna play a nasty character.
revengeful nasty bastard
which is ah just sounds that much more sexier to see.
Then just before I sat down,
there's a film that has announced.
They've just started shooting,
had their opening kind of ceremony
as all Chinese productions do
and this one, maybe again,
a very visually spectacular film.
It's called Dunhuang Xing Xiong
literally means Dunhuang Hero.
Dunhuang is the place in China where it has the most
magnificent mostly done in Tang dynasty,
cave paintings of Buddhism,
world heritage, incredible stuff.
So it's related to that.
The nice thing about this film is it's directed by Cao Dun
dun and based on the stuff written by Ma Boyong
the author who did Longest Day in Chang'an, Luo Yang
and many other high profile period setting
historical related dramas.
This time. It's the Longest day in Chang'an directors
and the Longest day in Chang'an original writer working together for a film.
That's also about Tang dynasty and about that
cave paintings and things related to that.
There hasn't been a very specific synopsis about what the story is,
with these two working together.
It's definitely a mystery thrilker-ish story,
but then it's gonna also be visually stunning.
Then you worry about narrative pacing.
That's the biggest problem with this particular author.
And when you adapt his work to screen,
usually run into this type of problem.
And then with this director,
his track record is he's one of the best cinematographer out there.
But then
storytelling is not his strong suit
that will conclude the drama and film related news
earlier this week.
Another kind of person kind of house collapse,
but I think because we're inundated with
all kinds of crappy news in this world,
like China had another earthquake and what just happened in Britain,
it's just like minute and irrelevant.
But in case you're wondering,
it's this actor/ idol.
you know I did like that drama.
He did with Wan Peng
So I have a relatively good impression of him,
but um he kind of house collapsed.
If you're interested, just Google it,
Google gossip,
Asian dramaland whatever you're gonna find it.
So in a lot of people's opinion,
he's now a collapsed idol.
I'm like every weekend we get something
oh I forgot to mention
at the end of this video is I already said on the 17th,
you're gonna get this CLJ celebration live stream,
then you're gonna get the hello Saturday,
the second stage of Happy camp basically
with the three leads of two dramas,
which is potentially a disaster and will be fun.
Also the rock singer Wang Feng
He has a concert on the 17th.
That's why I feel 17th is a very,
very tricky and dangerous day of Chinese entertainment.
We are still about 10 days away from it.
And then already the world starts to go crazy.
Let's just pray.
Nothing, absolutely horrendous happens around that time.
But then Wang Feng has never failed.
So the odds of things
get ready.
We may have a big crash in entertainment in the coming week.
Thank you for watching avenue x
i'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile, live long and happy drama watching.
