Gu Yiye: I-- This isn't what is looks like!! Gao Liang: Hahaha I got you~~ Jiang Nanzheng: wtf am i doing here

I'm really super happy XZ gets to work with Tsui Hark. It will be great for his career. I'm curious about something, why do we say Xiao Zhan is trying to break into movies if he already has Jade Dynasty ? And why is it important for an actor to break into movies rather than dramas?

Jade Dynasty as a movie made for TV/App. Its as a 20 Million RMB project that was meant to be launched only on Iqiyi. But because Xiao Zhan became "red" aka popular after Untamed, there was a huge surge of interest in this project. It got a theatrical release for a limited viewing, along with a press conference etc.

And yes, it did well in the box office. For a 20 Million investment, it ended up with 400 Million in revenue.

So this was a huge hit that year when released in the mid autumn festival holiday period. But along with this, also came quite a lot of criticism. Particularly to the quality of the film being a low budget TV film yet it played very well in the box office.

Tsui Hark is different. He is a legend in wuxia world. Every Chinese movie fan will know his name.

I'm guessing Xiao Zhan will follow more of a mix of both drama and movie path, based on whatever opportunities seems best. Many actors who predominantly feature in dramas have done movies, Yang Yang for instance. Li Xian as well. Liu Yifei, who has done predominantly films till now, has released a couple of back to back dramas, and still filming another drama.

In my mind, a YXH saying "he's trying to break into films" is a weird line used to do nothing but sensationalise. Yes, in film rewards are higher because its instant revenue when it releases, and its very tangible. Compared to drama which depends in sponsors and ratings for anything remotely tangible.

Till now, Xiao Zhan has always made the right choices which elevated his career one step at a time. Nothing has been handed out to him, he doesn't have a backing of a big agency. He doesn't even have the luxury of throwing out random lawyer letters unless it's super critical. He worked hard for everything, and tries his best to work around every hurdle. People who work with him instantly like him, he is a very good speaker, and very humble to everyone. He understands his characters, studies them, and replies with grace. He has loved all his characters, whether We Wuxian, Gu Wei, Gu Yiye or tue mischievous Ji Chong.

So a drama or a movie actor, Xiao Zhan will excel in both. But I believe he will refuse to confine himself in a box of category or genre.

emphasised even more by the way Gu Yiye abandons his girlfriend for a hasty marriage of convenience to his dead sergeant's wife

actually on that note I think Ace Troops may have hastily cut out any scene where the two male leads ever make eye contact after the ban on gay ships, so even though it's a resolutely heterosexual show it ends up with the brothers in arms mostly communicating indirectly via the woman they're both chasing, which almost goes too far and wraps around into being suspicious again.

Xiao Zhan crying scenes as Wei Wuxian on The Untamed, Tang San on DouLuo Continent and now Gu Yiye on Ace Troops in his own voice is enough to break your heart into pieces.💔💔💔 Compiling this made me almost sob...He is a phenomenal actor and deserves every award in the world ...
