New Promotional Materials for upcoming Cdramas at the 2025 iQIYI iJOY Conference
These posts! BAHHH! I mostly focus on trailers being released, so if a drama doesn’t have any video, I would usually include a poster.
PLEASE NOTE: Post may take a few extra seconds to load all the videos.
Tomb-raiding series Wu Xie Si Jia Bi Ji with Francis Ng, Cao Lei, and Xu Zhen Xuan announces premiere date
Just when I think I understand the sheer amount of dramas adapted from this novel franchise, they go and release more dramas. I’m done trying to chronologically categorize them. Just watch and enjoy, okay folks?
Wu Xie Si Jia Bi Ji or could be translated as Wu Xie’s Private Notes (吴邪私家笔记) is yet another tomb-raiding series adapted from Wu Xie Si Jia Bi Ji by Kennedy Xu. Synopsis Per TMDB: Antique dealer Wu Xie stumbles upon a cryptic silk text, leading his uncle and a team to explore its hidden map. Facing deadly creatures and uncovering a serpentine bronze fish, they reveal buried secrets—until his uncle vanishes with a mysterious woman, propelling them into a new quest.
Airing 9/20.
New Promotional Materials at the conference for Youku’s 2026 Drama Lineup
I included mostly trailers. If a drama didn’t have any trailers, I included posters. Video-heavy post so may take a few seconds longer to load.
William Chan, Zeng Shun Xi, and Chen Yao confirmed for republican drama The Treasured Bajia Book (The Mystic Nine 2)
The Treasured Bajia Book (九门) is adapted from the novel Old Nine Gates (老九门) written by Kennedy Xu. If you remember, there’s a drama adaptation in 2016 with William and Lay Zhang called The Mystic Nine (prequel to The Lost Tomb). This can be considered as part 2 with William reprising the same role as Zhang Qi Shan aka Fo Ye. Zeng Shun Xi will be playing Wu Lao Guo, Wu Xie’s grandfather (Wu Xie is the main character in The Lost Tomb series franchise). And yes, Shun Xi has played Wu Xie before. hehe. Chen Yao plays Hu Xian Gu, the only female member of the nine legendary grave-robbing families in Changsha.
Filming began 5/31! There’s a rumor of Li Ying playing a cameo as Fo Ye’s adorable wife and I really hope it’s true. They have insane chemistry!
The Lost Tomb: Ultimate Note with Zeng Shun Xi, Xiao Yu Liang and Hani Kezi gears up for premiere
The Lost Tomb: Ultimate Note (终极笔记) is an adaptation of the 5th, 6th and 7th book of The Lost Tomb series as the trio of good friends tumble upon a mysterious lake with a big secret simmering underneath.
Honestly, I have lost track of all the adaptations in this franchise. Lol.
Drama Sand Sea confirms Wu Lei, Yang Rong, Qin Hao, and Zhang Ming En
And it’s official. Yang Rong‘s co-stars continue to be younger and younger. xD Her next project puts her alongside Leo Wu Lei in Kennedy Xu’s novel, Sand Sea (Sha Hai 沙海). He’s turning 18 this year… Novel series Sand Sea I think takes place 10/15 years after The Lost Tomb and stands independently with four volumes, three of them revolves around the main character Li Cu played by Wu Lei (who’s been confirmed since June of this year.)
