Hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX
looking at Chinese dramaland in the past week,
first, dramas that were scheduled to go live did go live this time.
Nothing went wrong.
Thankfully,
so now we have just too many dramas ongoing.
If you've watched my Thursday stream
you know that I'm at the point where
it's just getting really tough for me to follow too many dramas
as my brain is primarily occupied by one particular drama.
But there are a couple of other things going on in dramaland
So let's talk about them.
First a few dramas and films that have started promoting,
some did say clearly when they're scheduled for
and others may happen soon or later.
First there is a drama that has started promoting
which will air on iqiyi eventually
exactly when we do not know.
It is a contemporary police drama called Fa Zui
it had a previous Chinese title.
If you go on dramalis and check the actor's portfolio,
you're gonna find that.
But it has a totally different name back then.
Now this is its name
and its official English title is unknown yet.
It's led by Huang JIngyu, Yang Youning, Gai Yuening, Li Youbin
and quite a few other well known actors
seems like a really proper heavy serious police drama.
This is not the first time that Huang Jingyu plays this kind of roles
He's got a couple of very poor police or special force
or that end of things roles before.
Then we have a couple of films that have also
started promoting some of them scheduled.
Others not yet known.
First film is called Chang Kong Zhi Wang, Born to Fly
It is a focused on Chinese pilot film.
It is going to be produced by Han Han
the very well known person who made himself
famous early on in his career as a writer.
Now is a film producer and director,
and then it will be led by Wang Yibo, Hu Jun,
also featuring special stars such as Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kaicheng
I actually honestly don't know what to make of it.
It just feels like all these people belong to different categories of things,
and then they're all coming together in a film that is themed
on something that just feels so unusual for all of them.
So let's hope this film can turn out to be something interesting.
They're saying that they're doing it this year.
I don't know if they can actually be that fast.
The other two films do have clear scheduled date
of going into cinema and both of them are.
I am highly interested in
first one is called Hai De Jin Tou Shi Cao Yuan
And English title is In Search of Lost Time
This film is directed by Er Dongsheng
the Hong Kong based actor,
who later turn into a director and very influential and
important person in the history of Hong Kong cinema.
He's been the judge of actors get ready,
but many many years ago at the beginning of his career,
he was the little fresh meat of the back then Hong Kong film world,
the good looking brother of the three brothers,
he is the director of this film.
And the more interesting thing about that is
first it's led by Ding Chengxin
who is the young actor who got well known
during that variety show of actor get ready,
but then he belonged to the Guo Jingming team.
The other thing about that is this film is entirely shot,
on real set in Inner Mongolia
because the story is set in that and all
the characters are Mongolians
and Ding Chengxin comes from that
That's his hometown.
And he would have extensive part of this film where he speaks Mongolian.
That's so interesting.
I just can't wait to see his performance in this film.
And also the other thing that's cool about this film is Er Dongsheng
as a director has an official account on Bilibili and he
actually put out a lot of content that's like
really well made like a documentary on his account.
And during the filming of this film.
Earlier on this year,
he had almost a full record vlog of the
documentary of making this film on bilibili
So almost you already know what shots they are gonna get,
what kind of sets they were on.
I've watched all of them before
I was just so fascinated by this director's
sort of style of doing things,
he would actually put the process of him making his proper film
before a film got released to show everybody.
And in that series of documentaries he's made
i've already got really intrigued
it's gonna come out on September the 9th in China,
I think it will be.
At least unlike other films you see usually in Chinese cinema,
the other piece of news regarding a film is
about an hour ago before I sat down making this video,
the trailer of a film got released and it's the highly
anticipated sequel to the first Wandering Earth.
The most successful SCI fi film ever in China's history.
I did a review on it.
The first one, I believe I remember the thumbnail in my head,
so must be there on my channel.
And the story continues
the journey of planet earth traveling to a different star to survive.
How cool is that?
It's the first trailer, it's one character talking through it with a bit
montage of the very threatening situations of earth
as its traveling away from solar system.
This film will be released in cinema next year,
2023 Chinese New Year's Day.
On the first day of the year,
not sure which day it's gonna be,
we shall see what's gonna happen whether it's gonna
do another big box office like the first one.
Hard to say these days for films like this.
One thing is about the film itself,
whether it's that good.
The second is
pandemic
if it got out of control again during January,
then nothing is gonna happen for any films
Film news aside talking about dramas now
Chi Dao, Falling into You
the track and field athlete drama led by Wang Anyu and Jin Chen
they have released a new trailer during this week.
The rumor is this drama is gonna come out September.
There are shots that's like pushing the limit of how
explicit you can get on camera in dramas in China.
So I mean it's between a good looking guy and very tough girl.
So hey, let's see, can't wait.
I will definitely check this drama out when itairs
whenever that is
then there is a drama that has started shooting during this week,
although it hasn't officially announced it.
So if you go on Weibo and check the account
of this drama which is Tou Tou Cang Bu Zhu, Hidden Love,
it has an official account set up already, but there's no post.
So they haven't started working yet
in terms of the promotional team of this production
pretty much around the 15th that was when the
drama started shooting for real
because people have already caught the actors
walking around on set and shooting.
This is a contemporary drama based on a novel.
This time it's led by Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan
good luck to the production.
And I think we're gonna see official
material of promoting this drama very soon.
It's just now it doesn't have anything,
but i've already seen so many leaked photos.
people are chasing these two actors like crazy.
The other drama also started shooting during this week.
Had official material put out
and it's another contemporary romantic drama called
Ai Qing Yu Jian Da Er Wen, English tiltle is Love is Panacea
So ideal
I mean you can't make it wrong that when you say that,
but unfortunately,
in reality,
love is so ambiguous
led by Luo Yunxi and Zhang Ruonan
It's about aocd a OCD doctor versus a highly highly talented student.
So you have a doctor,
you have a student,
and then you have panacea in the title,
kind of already feeling for like a what roughly the story is gonna be about.
And also during this week,
one final thing is the Weibo Zhi Ye happened,
which is an annual thing
a red carpet kind of event for Weibo.
And I just imagine Twitter giving out an official awards every
year for people who got really popular on their freaking platform
So it's the same thing,
but weibo zhi ye, Night of Weibo
usually is focused on entertainment business.
you knowIt's not everything, it's not scientists and other people coming up.
It's just like the entertainment businesses (more about film)
film stars, singers,
variety show internet celebrity,
these people show up
and it's just an opportunity for those super rich people
to just show us like how super rich pretty they are.
After that, all the fashion bloggers in China start to compare
whose clothes better than others,
whose dresses you know who wear it the best,
who is the winner of the red carpet as usual.
So i'll show you a couple of pictures of what
people look like during this event and
Well, at least I think in China for the celebrities to go on those events,
they would do all kinds of different styles and colors.
It's more interesting than the South Korean versions of
all kinds of awards because everybody just wears black.
It's like going to a funeral.
No matter if you're a woman or man like everybody is black, why?
I'm curious if you're from South Korea,
let me know why do people go to to those like big awards and events and
just like somehow unanimously,
everybody is so muted in color.
Anyway, that's the end of this video.
Thank you for watching avenuex
I'll see you in my next week's video.
At this point, I still haven't decided that what I'm gonna do.
Maybe nothing, who knows?
Please take care.
And if you wanna hear me rant and talk about stuff
and also mostly focused on Cang Lan Jue
fairy and devil that drama,
you can head over to the Thursday live streaming
that I did I do have a time stamp on it
where I start to talk about the drama specifically.
Okay, that's it
take care
live long and happy drama watching.
