Showbiz wars dominate in Chen Xiao’s Above The Clouds

First trailer is out and it’s cray cray all the way through. How many foot trips and slaps can one take in the showbiz before one explodes? Above the Clouds is Yumama‘s first venture into the glitz and glam of modern world. Lol. The story follows our heroine (Yuan Shan Shan) as she moves from the country to the big city to find her biological mother. Somehow, she ends up in the acting world and has to fight with fellow rising starlets for the chance in the spotlight (because you either rise or fall). She meets arrogant top star (Chen Xiao) and melts his heart with her pure beauty and passion for acting.

Stills:

    Actually starting to get excited….I like the storyline, and the costumes seemed good — but then I saw the 45 episodes. There is no way you stay good and non-cray-cray in Yu Zheng land with 45 episodes. If he’d kept it at something closer to 20, this would’ve had a fighting chance. Sigh.

      We know Yumama likes to milk his series. 20 episodes is almost unheard of in Cdramaland…

      I just dislike the constant girl-on-girl jealous fights in the trailer.

    As much as I like Chen Xiao, I will skip this one. Not a fan of YSS.

    I don’t know if it’s an excessive photoshop, the female lead nose job is really obvious. I don’t know any cast except from chen xiao, the second female lead even looks more attractive to me.

      +1 agree – Most of YSS’ dramas I also noticed that the second mean leads are always prettier than her. Her face is so hard to describe like so plastics-esque – like when she tries to cry, it just looks so fake and I ended laughing instead of feeling sad. I adored the character Ren Ying Ying in Swordsman from other adaptations but in her version I hatd her and I much preferred Chen Qian En’s DongfangBui and they’re not even OTP but again most beloved wuxias have butchered by Yumama.

    Yuan Shan Shan + Yumama is an automatic skip for me.

    I do wish Chen Xiao ventured outside of Yumamaland more often. He has potential but Yumama plots are keeping him down.

      Why the YSS dislike?

      Honestly asking, not a hate question. I have never watched her shows but her name on Weibo doesn’t bear a good reputation either.

        For me it’s her acting. If it wasn’t for Yumama and his connections, I don’t think she’d be able to land main actress roles in any drama. She can probably do supporting roles, but even actresses who are stuck as supporting roles e.g. Yang Rong are better.

    This show looks all kind of mean, won’t catch it i guess.

    Every time I see a CX news, I wanna scream where is 遇见爱情的利先生????

      I wanna scream too. I like both and would like to see them on my screen!
