Hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX
looking at Chinese dramaland in the past week
and we don't have that much going on.
Maybe everybody is just busy watching A Deam of Splendor
dramas were like
yeah it's not a good idea to come out now.
So we have a rather quiet and peaceful week,
but we still have a couple of things that we can talk about.
Yeah.
Nice,
so first dramas have gone live
last week I said the possibility of that drama showing up
and it did air
the drama Lin Shen Jian Lu has showed up
led by Jin Dong and Li Xiaoran
A contemporary midlife crisis drama
and English title at least on the poster is called
Nice to Meet You Again
Sounds very much like the textbook English that Chinese students would learn.
Hello, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
Then there's a film that was supposed to come out in April.
If you still remember the Qing Ming Jie festival,
funeral business film that got postponed because of the Omicron
situation in Shanghai and a couple of other cities in China,
this film has been rescheduled to go into cinema.
On June, the 24th
lighting up the stars led by Zhu Yilong
let's hope this time they can actually happen.
Then during this week, two dramas release trailers
And the funny thing is both are led by Zhang Xingcheng
or more specifically both dramas contain him as one of the main leads
The first one is Tian Cai Ji Ben Fa, The Heart of Genius
I think they're definitely aiming at putting
this drama out during summer holiday.
It's an iqiyi drama that i've talked about before
led by Lei Jiayin, Zhang Xincheng, Zhang Zifeng
and it has parallel universe situation going on which I didn't know before.
And then it has something to do with mathematics
and father and daughter relationship.
Let's hope that drama is interesting to watch.
The other one i've also talked about a couple of weeks ago
led by Zhang Xincheng and Deng Jiajia.
This would be a Youku drama, released their first trailer
and this is a short crime drama that's based on the Japanese detective novel,
don't wanna pronounce it in Japanese because I know
I'm gonna screw it up
murder case at this place.
And if you know you know
trailer looks really sexy,
finally,
Zhang Xincheng gets a role that
makes him look like an adult man
with that a little bit carnal quality
and Deng Jia Jia is a brilliant actress and he is good too.
So let's hope it's a
sizzling and exciting and
clever drama.
If both drama air during summer holiday.
It will be Zhang Xincehng's summer holiday, good for him.
He is filming a ZWYG drama now
and he has the second season of Young Blood coming up.
We're gonna see a lot of him and I'm very happy about that.
Then during this week a drama has wrapped and they've released
their official wrapped poster that look really good.
and I didn't know this before, but it made me even more excited.
That is the period drama set in Tang dynasty called
Yin Niang, based on the Legend of the assassin Nie Yinniang.
And the English title is also The Assassin
Led by Qin Lan and Zheng Yecheng
I've talked about this before.
And the thing that makes me more excited was
when I was looking at the posters,
I was like oh that costume looks actually researched
because there are some details that are just often ignored by dramas'
costume department for whatever reason
they would just wanna make it look prettier in their aesthetics
or just easier to wear for the actors or whatever.
But I looked at the poster I was like oh this looks like the literal
replicate of historical artifact that people can find these days.
And I'm like how did that happen?
Then I realized this drama actually got two consultants
to work on the costume design.
These two people are the experts of
recreating costumes from historical materials.
And i've known them, I wouldn't say know them that well,
but I know these two people from
let me count
15 years ago,
back in the days when I was working at Hong Lou Meng
that was the first time I came across this group of people.
And for that period of time,
I was really close to them yeah anyway.
Long history,
these couple people have now become the prominent
ones from not state sponsored any organization,
but have quite a bit say,
in historical costume research
because of the years and years of work they put in
and they were consultants and they
were actually hired properly for the drama.
They both basically re posted the official post
coming from this drama on their wrapping party,
saying I had a really good time working with this team,
and we've managed to actually recreate a lot of historical costumes that
probably is the first time ever for Tang dynasties in a Chinese drama,
just made me so excited to see that.
And it has Zheng Yecheng.
Can you believe it as the male lead?
and he already had a couple of styling that he showed on his own account,
dressed up,
and in the actual proper, historical way of wearing them.
Even like the pattern on his clothes is literally taken from history.
I'm like, hohoho~
dream come true.
you have to wait for 15 years for it to come true.
But eventually it happened.
Then something that's not confirmed,
but we're looking at summer holiday having quite a few dramas competing
apart from the two. I've already said both led by Zhang Xincheng
You also have Xing He Can Lan, Love Like the Galaxy
Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi's fantasy period drama
that will be divided into part one and part two,
because it's too long.
It's longer than 40 episodes
that's gonna go on Tencent.
They're so looking at put it out during summer holiday,
they already started official advertising
calling for people to give them money.
Basically
I mean it wouldn't be such a bad plan for
Tencent to air this drama right after they finish airing.
Do you have something to say you want to say about
the drama love like Galaxy so that you show up?
Like I said it wouldn't be such a bad idea for Tencent to do that,
airing it right after dream of splendor which
should finish airing around early July,
probably wouldn't be a bad idea keeping people
on their subscriptions for an extra month or so.
The other drama is from iqiyi which is the second season of
20 Your Life On
I've talked about this drama multiple times
this time they're also starting to call for advertiser
looking like they wanna put it out in summer holiday,
usually July, August, bloodbath,
2019, we had a blood bath,
2018 kind of too.
So let's see what's gonna happen in summer.
So those are the things i've collected.
There are more, I think I missed a couple
I realized before I sat down,
but I don't think actually many people would be watching those dramas anyway,
watching my channel.
so let me just be lazy and short.
For 1 week
see this
ornament in Meng Hua Lu
around episode five and six
in the drama. It's all made with gemstone.
So it's the stone,
it's the glossy
the stone texture of pretty flowers.
And I am using silk velvet.
So it works differently and it's slightly too big.
Compared to the size that Liu Yifei has on her head,
she has a pair where this is way too big to have it as a pair.
But I'm glad that it worked,
out and worked out pretty nicely,
and I actually filmed the process of making it.
So you can look forward to a video.
Sometime in the future.
I have so much callous on the tip of my fingers.
My knuckles are hurting all the time,
wish I have actually four arms,
and four hands.
That'll be nice.
Maybe that should be considered in the next stage of human evolution.
Sorry, I start to go off track again because this video is way too short.
and I'm just trying to fill it up.
Supposedly, if your video is like longer than 8 minutes or something now on YouTube,
you can put ad in it.
Otherwise you can't
Thank you for watching AvenueX
why am I laughing?
I don't know,
maybe because I just finished watching the latest updated
episodes of A dream of splendour
and got too much uh,
dog food and sugar.
I'm definitely on a sugar high right now.
So um
forgive me, please take care.
I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile live long and happy drama watching.
