A lot of stills and press conference in this article! And guess who is back?… Intellectualkitten ^^
Yang Rong‘s Memory Lost got an air date for October [not July as my previous typo stated… sorry] on IQiYi. Better than nothing, right?
The team behind Go Princess Go announced (again) the production of the season 2 and the movie version of this hit webdrama. Also, it seems that Korea bought the rights to adapt it too!
In other exciting sequel news… it seems that the success of Old Nine Gates/The Mystic Nine will result in a series of movies! They announced that they will produced four movies focused on the characters and the first one will focus on Er Yue Hong (2nd master). Let’s see if Lay will have time to film it! They did the booting ceremony this week.
For anyone in need of a a romcom, the Taiwanese adaptation of Korean drama Baby Faced Beauty. This one is called 必勝練習生 and will premiere in both China and Taiwan, on TTV.
Drama Just One Smile Is Very Alluring is showing us that even handsome geeks need best friends! I didn’t know that Rachel Mao was in this drama, but this makes everything look even better!
At the same time, the movie version released stills! It is so hard to choose which couple I like the most…
A picture of cutie pies Zhou Dongyu and Lee Junki for Never Say Goodbye
Another lovey dovey movie: Crying Out in Love with Ou Hao and Zhang Huiwen
Playlist of songs for Zhu Xian as well as a new MV. We also get some new character stills (actually not that new, they just changed the background).
And for people who missed the 20minutes trailer (I uploaded it later on the press conference post), here it is again. Honestly, it looks like such an amazing drama. The quality is really good and I am curious of the story for both the leads and the supporting cast! (I may skip childhood years though because that part didn’t hook me as much.)
Press conference of Ice Fantasy with Victoria, Feng Shaofeng and Ma Tianyu. Bonus: PSed selfies of the cast!
Press Conference for Chinese Odyssey 3 starring Tang Yan and Han Geng
Zhu Yilong and Viann Zhang at a press conference for Border Town Prodigal. Viann looks so much like Fan Bingbing it is amazing!
Two more posters and MV for the show:
Another project worth mentioning: the movie Bonjour les couleurs de l’amour will star Bea Hayden, Seungri, and Zhang Liang
On August 7th will be released new spy drama Code Name with Kimi Qiao. Yes! This puppy is finally getting his lead role!
Drama Lover’s Lies with Jia Qing and Jung Il-Woo released character stills.
Ying Er and soon-to-be-married Chen Xiao on the set of their drama If Love chilling.
Hot pictures of Ji Changwook for drama Whirlwind Girl 2.
Huang Lei is headlining a new parenting drama, A Love For Separation. What a perfect role for him! It will be released for August 15th, 2016.
A BTS picture of William Chan on the set of I Love that Crazy Little Thing.
The Voice of China now called Sing! China is ready to kick off the second half of summer with its new season. If you are curious to learn why they changed name (lawsuit between the producers), here is a nice blog post about the say subject. ^^
The boys (Jing Boran, Wang Kai and Jackson Wang) from Fighting Man looks handsome while filming the variety show. Wang Kai especially looks amazing in that white shirt.
Zhao Liying is promoting as Bi Yao for the video game version of Zhu Xian
Yang Yang for A Chinese Ghost Story 倩女幽魂

Welcome Back!!!!!!!
Jing Boran is so cute i love himmmm ¡! He looks so good with Angela Baby
I don’t know about season 2 and the movie … is going to be a continuation of the season one or one of the finals?? Is going to be a new story??? Korea and his remakes … um I don’t know what to think … in this moment I don’t like it, please don’t let them do Nirvana in Fire please please let nirvana alone.
Yang yang and zheng shuang they are so cute … can they be girlfriend and boyfriend in real life?
Nobody can decide between angela baby/ jing boran or yang yang/zheng shuang.
I don’t know what to think about ice fantasy … the trailer looks so good but I don’t like how feng shaofeng acts… probably im going to give it a chance for ma tian yu and his love story
I was thinking the same about viann and Fang BingBing int those photo they look like sisters.
Im watching fighting man is nice im hope it get better … I have to thank Jackson fans for subbing it, wang kai, lil bai and jing boran look so good … it’s a show for girls with all of those candy guys.

Then ZS will finally find her prince charming, yes, it would be really nice (but she already has so many haters… I don’t want YY’s fans to bash her even more)
I actually think Ice Fantasy’s trailer is very anti-climatic… but I will watch for sure the first episode ^^
Do you know how the international fans feel about the cast members (apart from Jackson)? They are indeed treats to the eye @_@

Thank you so much for these updates
what caught my mind is the release date of Lost Memory
i mean it is not usual for a Chinese drama to get a release date right after wrapping up filming
this is pretty fast.
It seems that web dramas are becoming our hope 🙂
Im glad because i am waiting for 3 detective dramas
Lost Memory , 10 deadly sins and When a snail falls in love
first two will be shown this month
I hope for the snail to run fast as well 🙂
The reason is that cinematography in this kind of chinese dramas is pretty well on another level from the rest and typical ones.
Again, thank u so so so much

I hope When a snails falls in love gets a TV drama release date 😛 It is my most anticipated detective drama by far… are you going to watch all 3 of them?

I like both ZLY and YZ but I cant stand LYF – still thinking whether to watch Chusen by liberal use of FF. Am more keen on ZLY show with Shawn Dou and Lin Geng Xin – the former has charisma but LGX did not impress me in the recent show with Yoona (cant even remember the name now!)

Haha, in Chinese Hero aka God of War Zhao Yun? Yeah, he disappointed me in that too. Hope he gets his act together because my chemistry fairy (Zhao Liying) can’t do all the work! that would not be fair 😛

Hahah your comment about Wang Kai wearing a simple white dress shirt reminds me of that “Happy Camp” episode where they made Yang Yang, Zhang Han, William Chan and Kris Wu (?) show their white shirt style (and various *cough* questionable *cough* other fashion styles). “Fighting Man” has already started airing on Jiangsu TV aaah too many goodies, not enough time!
Aah I was like yay Zhao Li Ying on “Happy Camp”! Then I checked the trailer and I was shot down. Maybe next week :DD I know Qiao En jie and Ming Xi will be on “Day Day Up” this coming week ^_^ must be for “Up Idol” which isn’t many nights away if I’m counting from the date you gave me (July 22nd?!!)
