hello, welcome to another video from AvenueX looking at Chinese
dramaland in the past week and let's get right into it.
First let's talk about dramas that have announced
when they're gonna go live
on November 22nd
11. 22
there should be two dramas going live.
First one is gonna go on Hunan television also Mango TV
and it's one we've talked about before
To Fly with You
Pei Ni Zhu Feng Fei Xiang, led by Wang Anyu and Song Zuer
an ice sport drama.
That's pre celebration of the upcoming Winter Olympics in China.
In this drama,
Wang Anyu is a figure skater and Song Zuer does speed skating
and they're gonna come across each other in their path
pursuing their sports goal and their life goal and fall in love
and all that
trailer is absolutely adorable
The promotional materials so far okay that's available
online ~~ just makes me makes the aunty in me coming out
and it's gonna be a winter-ish stuff because it's all ice sports.
you know what I'm saying
I'm thinking about Chase the Light
come on,
it would be a perfect drama to air in winter
oh come on
then, on the same day a drama should go live on the platform youku
but it's not going on satellite television
which is unusual for the particular type of drama it is
Everybody is guessing it's gonna be a web first and then satellite
television later drama which has happened to quite a few dramas in the past.
This one is called Min Jing Lao Lin de Xing Fu Sheng Huo
The Happy life of policeman Lao Lin,
Lao means old in China.
So if you call somebody with "lao" and their surname,
that means you're referring to them with a sense of respect.
And usually that means this person is older than you
and they're probably middle age and above.
And this drama is led by Lin Yongjian and Mei Ting
not the criminal type of policeman,
but the policeman who are stationed within communities.
and what they do usually is just dealing with the daily
confrontations and all kinds of administrative work
that policeman needs to do such as renewing your indentity card
hat type of thing.
So this is a very daily life.
Story about a small police station.
It is such a suitable type of drama to go on satellite television
around 8 PM and the type of drama that the whole family can watch.
Your parents generation age people
then one day after on November the 23rd.
Finally, the drama Nv Xin Li Shi, Psychologist led by Yang Zi
and Jing Boran is gonna air.
This drama has been talked about too many times on my channel.
Let's just wait till it airs
see if it's worth watching,
then i've heard a rumor about Feng Qi Luo Yang
The wind rises in Luoyang.
Or just Luoyang.
That's Song Qian, Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo
is likely to come out either very end of this month or
December and since Tencent is so aiming at putting out
Snow Sword Stride around the same time December.
I just don't see why iqiyi wouldn't throw out a combative
also big production period drama to just
butt their heads
let's hope, let's hope it does happen.
Then let's talk about dramas that are at other stages
of production or releasing different types of material.
First Night Wanderer released a new trailer.
Ye Lv Ren with Ni Ni and Deng Lun
a time travel drama
WOW
that trailer is killer.
Cinematography is beautiful, there's no skin smoothing.
The color grading is beautiful, epic scenes
1930s,
Shanghai war time
time travel special effects
and these two in slow motion.
I want it now I want it now I want it now I want it now.
I'm pretty sure when I see the news of it
being scheduled in the future one day,
I'd be screaming and singing and dancing in my room.
Then a drama has released a couple of posters and production photos.
It is another fantasy drama called Yue Ge Xing, Song of the Moon,
led by Zhang Binbin, Xu Lu
Wang Youshuo, Zheng He Hui Zi
the vibe and the look of it.
Itells you it's a very typical xian xia
I mean people look okay
It's not a very poorly styled one,
but it doesn't have that strong stylistic sort of shock that we've got from.
Cheng Yue jin ming 2 weeks ago.
And then there are two dramas that have wrapped during this week.
The first drama is An Le Zhuan, Legend of An Le,
led by Dilaraba, Gong Jun
Period drama based on popular IP novel,
similar setup as Cheng Ge Xing.
It wrapped literally on the day my last weeks video went out.
So couldn't have predicted that
they released photos of the day wrapping.
They've also released a video,
new material to show you what this drama may look like.
Looking pretty good
Gong Jun and Dilraba are like
the what we call "Nong Yan" and very pronounced eyes
nose, facial features that comes forward strongly.
So they look really good as a couple,
you know the same type of looking people, tall, slender,
and strong features
if you've read original novel which I haven't.
But I know what happens because i've been taught
by a lot of people about what this story is about.
It's gonna be filled with tortures,
and our male lead is gonna to be the person who suffers most of it.
So if you want to look at good looking people getting tortured on screen,
book this drama, ok?
It probably will be very satisfying.
The other drama that has wrapped is also a period drama which
I also super look forward to Daming Under the Microscope.
I've talked about this one before
Ming dynasty setting clearly, Zhang Ruoyun, QI Wei
and many other actors that I like, Ma Boyong novel,
this guy probably is as lucky as Zi Jin Chen
in terms of being a author of writing books
that got it adapted all the productions adapted are
really expensive at least and pretty well done
compared to other authors.
Then there's a rumor about the drama
that is supposedly the new version of Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan
Chinese Paladin
the classic Xian Xia drama that started the era of xian xia drama in China
Originally led by Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, An yixuan
all those people
they are making the new version.
And supposedly it started shooting today
led by a group of people
that most of the drama watchers would not know only one of them.
Probably my audiences are very familiar with,
which is the actress.
Hu Yixuan who supposedly is playing A Nu
So Liu Pinyan's role,
the other cast members and the entire crew news
until confirmation comes out with pictures.
We will talk about that later,
but likely this is actually being made.
Finally, to wrap up today's video,
usually around the end of every year,
starting now leading up to December,
all kinds of ceremonies starts to happen starting with
the fashion magazines already happening in China.
annual big event with all the stars dressed up and looking
posh and cool and giving their fans more visual stimulants
So that has started.
And then usually around.
Beginning of December,
the major platforms Tencent, Iqiyi
all kinds of video streaming sites will have
their own event, own awards and the annual show off
of whose dress is the prettiest thing is happening.
But this year,
a lot of them may get cancelled.
I think right now iqiyi has kind of like 80%
s confirmed they've cancelled this year's jing jiao zhi ye
Night of Screams that they've been doing for
years because of concern of the pandemic.
There's been sporadic cases happening in China right now.
So may not be a good idea to collect hundreds
and thousands of people in one venue and then.
All of the most stars and something happens,
they are likely to cancel it.
Tencent.
Usually it's called tencent Xing Guang.
So the starlight event of tencent may get canceled too
Wei Bo Zhi Ye, Which is Weibo's Night event
is also likely to get cancelled,
although it is not confirmed yet.
So if this year happens to be all those major events get
cancelled well that will save everybody so much money,
all the stars they don't need to buy or rent their gowns and their
crazy dresses and they don't need to just do the shivering game.
At the end of the year,
it's already super cold whether it's Shanghai
or Beijing any of those places and.
They have to dress in those like exposing their shoulders
and just like~~~~
shaking and see who can control their muscles best
and walk the red carpet.
Still look pretty while they're shaking.
Every year when those kind of events happen,
I just feel so sorry for everybody who works in this business.
Because it's kind of actually ridiculous.
It's always like 5°,
0°,
-°.
And you have those girls just like having nothing on them.
Walking on carpet outside
guys have it easier because they can wear suits
and it wouldn't be like also nice because they can't wear too many layers,
but it's much better than the girls
so maybe this year all the stars don't need to suffer anymore.
They can just sit at home dressed in pajamas and eat ice cream.
That would be, I think,
a much better way of spending your December
that should wrap up to this video.
Thank you for watching AvenueX
I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile live long and happy.
Drama watching.
