This is just a mini version of my usual long C-news post…. much shorter… -snickers-
——> ♦ The Cage of Love releases the opening and ending theme songs with some gorgeous stills. I know I’m supposed to focus on the three pretty people but MAN THAT SCHEMING-LOOKING CAT BE CREEPING ME OUT!
Opening Song: Can’t Grip [Your] Gentleness – Hawick Lau
Ending Song: I Know You Love Me – Dai Ying Xuan (Xuan Xuan)
Li Dong Xue is perfection in here! He belongs in this time period. PERIOD.
Zheng Shuang also has pretty dresses and hairstyles.
ARE YOU READY FOR THE CREEPY CAT? I swear he is Mr. Tinkles‘s descendant!
——> ♦ 68th Cannes International Film Festival attended by some Chinese stars. Fan Bing Bing‘s name will always be attached to these red carpet walks. She literally flutters down the red carpet.
Rather new here is Viann Zhang. She looks like an intense peacock before a feather battle. Could use some relaxation methods.
I didn’t like her dress all that much….so imagine my shock when the model was WRAPPED IN IT. Is she a horse? A present? A walking garden? Whose idea was this?!!
The Ghouls cast lifts up the mood with their poses and selfie sticks! LOL.
Too bad Shu Qi isn’t there. But everyone looks dashing! The handsome men below!
So cute!
I wonder what shampoo and conditioner she uses…her hair looks healthy and hydrated!
Chen Kun striking a cool and then a cute pose for the camera. =D
If I were the camera lady behind this shot, I’d be satisfied with my job. Flawless angle.
Dork Kun is here!
——> ♦ Hu Ge‘s Good Time drops some first official stills. He plays a man afraid of commitment and his female lead (Wang Xiao Chen) thinks marriages are a waste of time. No opposites attract? INTERESTING. She is rather cute and has been in a ton of dramas but I can’t recall her face.
Miss Wang!
OTP.
——> ♦ The Legend of Flower (Hua Qian Gu) premieres in June (don’t remember the date off the top of my head, check airing schedule on right bar) so promotional materials are trickling out! More stills of our OTP, Zhao Li Ying and Wallace Huo. By the time that I’m back, hopefully the songs are out. I need some epic songs to cover up the lack of chemistry between these two perfect individuals. My girl crush can make this happen right?!! Lol.
——> ♦ When He Comes Close Your Eyes finally has a female lead! It is Sandra Ma – a new face you might remember from Alec Su’s The Left Ear, she played the bad bar girl. She was also in Fiancee with Korean actor Dennis Oh. While I’m a little sad that Shu Chang didn’t get the lead, I’m doubly excited for a new face! And that new face is someone I like! YESH!
——> ♦ Li Yi Feng‘s movie Forever Young unveils first teaser! Promises lots of fun and hijinks!
——> ♦ The cast of The Lost Tomb will record Happy Camp on May 24th.
——> ♦ The cast of Divas Hit The Road filmed their session this past week.
——> ♦ Watch the cast of My Sunshine movie version on HC two weeks ago. Huang Xiao Ming with his real life GF (Angelababy) and movie GF (Yang Mi) all in the same place. XD
——> ♦ Rumors that they plan to adapt Chinese Paladin 5.
——> ♦ Looks like Chen Xiao and Wang Li Kun are meant to collaborate one way or another. After missing out the chance in The Gods, they are attached to a campus film named Brother Who Sleeps in the Top Bunk after a song sang by Old Wolf. Listen to the song below. It’s about friends growing apart after college. Awww, it happens all the time…
——> ♦ Drama AND movie adaption of the novel, Three Lives Three Worlds – Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, enter production stage. No attached names yet. Read the English Translation by Hamster here.
——> ♦ Destined To Love You will air in the summer months on HunanTv.
——> ♦ Drama adaptation of a Chinese internet novel called Zhu Xian (Jade Dynasty) will most likely feature Li Yi Feng as the male lead. Fans are urging for Liu Yi Fei as his half OTP.
——> ♦ After Shan Shan Comes to Eat, Gu Man‘s novels are being adapted into dramas and movies one-by-one. Top of the list is Love You at First Sight (Book Title: Just One Smile is Alluring). It is described as an upbeat book about an unconventional couple – both leads have beauty and brains, with no angst. HAH. You think the script writers will let that happen in the drama version?
——> ♦ Some unofficial pictures of the rom-com, Rise of A Tomboy, with Zhao Li Ying, Zhang Han, and Jung Il Woo. THEY ALL LOOK ADORABLE. I can finally feel the excitement!
Which couple to root for? Is gonna be tough… Man…. Ying Ying, why you gotta do this? *evil laugh*
That’s it for this round! Play nice and help one another out when I’m away! 8D

ROFLMAO LYF’s Forever Young looks like a mix of Step Up/Pitch Perfect/American Pie (all those Hollywood teen movies). Sounds like a schoolyard comedy or something…
I agree with you – Wallace and Zhao Liying unfortunately have no chemistry, so I hope when HQG airs (apparently June 9), the music/atmosphere/etc. can make up for that. I haven’t heard any songs from HQG … I wonder if Wallace will sing (cuz he’s a pretty good singer)
LOL Fan Bingbing is making bank so of course she’ll be at all these big events! She just topped Forbes China Celebrity list 3 times in a row! Also LYF is the only 20-something person in top 10 … talk about raking in that ca$h… (O_O)

They only teased us with the title of the songs. I think it will be released when I’m enjoying the sand and sun elsewhere. heh!
I saw the list! Li Yi Feng is crazy rich! Lol. No wonder he’s been into films – fastest way to earn the cash. Zhao Li Ying had a good jump too, from 80-ish last year to 43 this year. Tang Yan and Angelababy are wicked high – no surprises there. XD
This looks wicked fun (tomorrow)! I think this is the other episode where Yang Yang is on Happy Camp. I see Zhang Han, Boran Jing, Yang Yang, and Ji Chang Wook!

LOL yeah and not only movies, TV dramas, that 8-year contract for Lost Tomb, China nationwide concert tour, dozens of big brand endorsements, fashion magazine appearances … talk about laughing all the way to the bank! No wonder he’s been smiling so much these days (I’d be laughing my ass off too if I was making big bucks like that)

Tang Yan’s in pretty much every drama and Angelababy has heaps of big brand endorsements too, so no surprises to see them on the list too.

And your new Yang Yang Lost Tomb banner is gorgeous 🙂

Wow. HQG, Chinese paladin, and 3l3w? Excited to see who get casted in CP5 and 3l3W.

Only the tip of the iceberg, it’s a good time to be a novelist. ^_-

LOL don’t forget 诛仙 – that one’s gonna be epic.
And guess who’s heavily rumored to play the leads?
Li Yifeng and Angelababy

Hope it’s LYF. She has the visual for dramas like these. Want to see her in ancient/fantasy dramas again
14 thoughts on “Bulletin Board: Cdramaland/ENT News (10)”
I would LOVE to see Liu Yifei play the female lead in 诛仙 with Li Yifeng as the male lead. It’ll be an awesome combination and Liu Yifei fits the character so well! TBH I’m one of those hoping for a LYFx2 combo too!
But I heard that Liu Yifei doesn’t act in dramas anymore because her focus is in movies, so it’s probably very unlikely that she’ll be in 诛仙. One can hope, I guess…

Rumor has it that Jiang Jingfu is playing the lead in CP5 (cuz Hu Ge said he wasn’t gonna be in those type of idol dramas anymore)

I’m only here for the Chen Kun. Perf bby is perf.
Not even going to glance at any of the book adaptations. I’ve been burnt too many times. China doesn’t seem to understand the actual concept of casting, or the concept of adapting accurately from books (to be fair no industry has grasped the latter). Once third-degree burnt, forever hella shy.
It’s even more frustrating when you find out that the writer keeps shelving her ongoing series in favour of being hands-on for the drama, especially when the writer is *known* for her slowness (Gu Man is called the turtle author for a reason people). So like I’m happy for all the authors but just… going to pretend this stuff ain’t even happenin’.
On a more non-rant-y note, you can also read the complete english translation of Just one smile is very alluring (the chinese name is wei wei yi hen qing cheng) here: https://wwyxhqc.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/table-of-contents-for-%E5%BE%AE%E5%BE%AE%E4%B8%80%E7%AC%91%E5%BE%88%E5%80%BE%E5%9F%8E/
If you need any more incentive just know that it is my favourite novel by Gu Man~
Be sure to show the translator much love, she did an excellent job of a very long book~
Other books from Gu Man are also being translated~ Gu Man’s stuff is an excellent pick me up because she adheres to a few rules which basically boil down to: no torture, no NP (NP usually means harem – means the final pairing could be 1 girl 2 guys or 1 guy 2 girls), and no tragedy!
Shan Shan come eat (I think people are familiar with this one already XD): http://hui3r.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/come-and-eat-shan-shan-gu-man-chapter-1-part-1/

Blazing Sunlight (right now this is 2nd best after wei wei, but since she hasn’t written the second novel in the series, I don’t know if my ship will become OTP, and hence I am refraining judgment. GO TEAM BOSS is all I’m sayin’): https://hui3r.wordpress.com/2014/12/03/blazing-sunlight-i-%E9%AA%84%E9%98%B3%E4%BC%BC%E6%88%91-chapter-1/
There’s also a translation (ongoing) for hua qian gu: http://dorayakiz.wordpress.com/2014/10/24/the-journey-of-flower-author-fresh-guo-guo/
Three of Ding Mo’s novels are also being translated (one of them I am translating, so please pay that one special attention *cough*)
