Five years after the end of " Celebrating More Than Years ", we are still thinking about the sword that Yan Bingyun stabbed Fan Xian, and we are concerned about Mr. Xiao Fan's destiny. But Ji Ren has his own destiny, and his adventure continues: the book picks up from the last chapter, and Fan Xian and the second prince clashed with each other on the way back with his delegation.
On the other side, after he and Lin Wan'er got married, he took over the inner treasury and had to solve the crisis of empty inner treasury. There were crises in the palace, and many forces were ready to move. Emperor Qing was assassinated three times in a row, and Fan Xian got involved... The family, the temple, Jianghu, Guanguan is sad.
As one of the most successful adaptations of male videos, "Qing Yu Nian 2" is also facing a lot of pressure. It is no easy task to gather as many of the original cast members as possible. The new season will open up a new territory of Jiangnan, and the characters will become richer (many well-known actors have joined the original cast). We will have to wait and see whether it will continue to do so or reach new heights.
The poster said: The number of people who have made reservations to watch is close to 14 million. On average, about one in 100 Chinese people want to watch it. This appeal is also very strong.
According to rumors, in order to compete with Tencent's "Qing Yu Nian 2", Youku has scheduled the dramas "Mo Yu Yun Jian" and "Half-Mature Men and Women" , and iQiyi's upcoming drama is "Yan Xin Ji" and "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker Yuehong Chapter" . Yu Zheng's new drama "Mo Yu Yun Jian" stars his favorites Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue, and is adapted from the novel "The First Marry". "Yan Xin Ji" is a detective puppet drama starring Luo Yunxi, Song Yi and Chen Yao. The poster is more optimistic about the urban love drama "Half-Mature Man and Woman" starring Tian Xiwei and Xin Yunlai. It and "The Pretending Revelation" are written by the same author Liu Cuihu, and are both excellent works on Douban.
In addition, there is finally news about iQiyi Mist Theater. "The Boy Who Can't See a Shadow" starring Zhang Songwen and Rong Zishan; "Hidden Things" starring Chen Xiao and Yang Zishan are expected to be broadcast this month. The former focuses on the bizarre disappearances in the 1990s and the return of the mysterious boy. It is expected to be a cat-and-mouse game between old and young foxes. The latter is adapted from the Korean drama " The Flower of Evil ", which focuses on identity concealment and marital turmoil. Chen Xiao also presents a blond and delicate look.
