Inspired by this, the new translation for Hua Qian’gu will be Hip & Hip & Hurray.
Known for his beautiful portrayals in ancient series, actor Chen Xiao will star in his first modern series – Love & Life & Lie 遇见爱情的利先生, literally The Mr. Li who finds love and based on the book Glass Slipper. He’ll be starring once more with Zhou Dongyu, who will be her first foray into any drama. In addition, Gong meets BBJX once more as he’ll also be paired with Ye Qing. Production company Hairun has had a generally poor run of drama qualities, but hopefully Yu Zheng loved Chen Xiao enough to pick a good script for him. Character posters here.
There is another drama movements in China that has effected C-dramas. Incisive Great Teacher is not removed from Youtube too. I really wonder what is happening. Any more news anyone?
Typo, I mean IGT is now removed from Youtube. So many regulations in China.
Mainland TV series are usually removed from YouTube if they’re purchased by TW/HK channels. Either that or the account has made too many violations and has been canceled
Understood. Thanks. Looks like all Wuxia, period dramas are not allowed over summer. Thus we have to wait much longer for all period dramas.
I’m not sure where you got that conclusion, because both Ancient Sword and GIT are airing next month.
I read it on a Chinese website but here is one on Koala’s http://koalasplayground.com/2014/05/30/period-c-dramas-pushed-back-to-fall-as-sarft-orders-all-summer-dramas-to-be-about-the-chinese-dream/
Interesting read including the comments from some readers .
The limit isn’t on period dramas. A number of period dramas are approved for airing on satellite.
SARFT doesn’t control YouTube (the last time I checked), and any removal is due to purely legal reasons.
Also, Desert Melody’s airing possibilities has nothing to do with any restrictions. The last time I’ve heard, they’ve received approval for filming and airing last year, but have yet received approval for satellite airing. They even managed to take down other dramas with them in the approval process.
Thanks for your update. Most of the dramas I am looking forward to watch are period dramas. Currently, Hu Ge’s new modern drama- 生活启示录 is really good. Have you been watching it? Well cast, well written and well produced.
I’ve seen the first half of it. It’s okay, but I don’t think it’s anything special. Imo the script isn’t as good as the Li Xiaolu/Jia Nailing drama that it followed, although the production value is better.
But Yu Zheng isn’t the best judge of what constitutes a good script :P
Zhou Dongyu looks so pretty! <3 Chen Xiao too, but I think I still prefer him in period costume~
But he’s so much better than most =_= No matter how ridiculous his scripts can be, at least his scripts are tight enough that I don’t want to fall asleep all the time… @eeMedia @Great Wall @TangRen’s modern writers @Hairun (Oh, opps…)
He is definitely the hottest newcomer this year. Zhang Han was one three years ago.
Actually surprising to see him star in a modern drama, thank you I will be looking out for this drama. I want to see how he acts compared to ancients dramas
