It is just sad and unfair to the whole production team that their hard work doesn't get to be aired due to these ridiculous reasons. China should try to join us in this world of wondrous variety.
This isn’t the only reason that this c-drama has been canceled there are these pictures online of chenfeiyu sleeping with someone’s wife which was leaked. So Chengfeiyu’s reputation has gone down the drain after this
@@Chubbidanniit is not his fault,if you really read the news,it is his former girlfriend,she isn`t married at when they were dating,they were broke up,and she married after that,so please read the news carefully before you accused someone.His movie still airing as usual after that scandal,and all Bl dramas can not air right in china right now,so why blame him? Definitely not his fault immortality and all BL dramas can not air,it is the regulation and censorship that should be blame
If you don’t know the mentality of the Chinese, then you don’t need to get involved with your ideals. Actors may be hated for these roles and it will not be “some”, but the majority of the population. I'm from Central Asia and we have a lot of Chinese. Leave us alone, we are tired of you, we are disgusted by such propaganda. Of course, there are perverted individuals who support you, but there are very few of them. Again, this can ruin the careers of actors. And you solve problems in your homeland!
I don't see anywhere in the world better or worse than others. Yes we can say we wouldn't be a part of a genocidal regime, but I don't see the West being much better. Both are in civilization collapse as we speak.

I started reading the book because of the drama being postponed. I’m still reading. (And reading. And reading. It’s a loooooong book!) It really is a shame that this show seems to be under lock and key for good, because the two leads are JUST SO PERFECT for their roles - the stills I’ve seen indicate they were cast straight from the descriptions in the book. I really hope they are able to cut some sort of deal to air it internationally - the Seven Seas translation has made it popular enough that an international release would be warranted.
I have been waiting for this drama for 2 years but the drama😢 didn’t release but still hope this drama will come become soon ❤ In China they didn’t much release of many bl drama they are many of them is bromance . But some bl / bromance dramas cancelled or some other reason they stop the drama . I didn’t know that what kind of problem they have to release those kind of dramas . I know China has some issues to release Chinese bl / bromance drama but some time they take some wrong decision what makes actors life suffer 😢.
This karma needs to play immediately. The main anctor Luo Yun Xi is such a beautiful anctor annd ancts well. How can you not like him. Please finish this episodes/movie annd play it soon. Give Luo Yun I a love scene he deseverse and he knows how to play it well. Lou Yun Xi is such a beautiful and great actor, shows a wonderful love scene, he deserves this this type of movie or episodes. Please include it, a love scene and it ends with the girls. He deserves it. Please do it.
I’m living in hope this will at some point this will air ,however , I’m not sure it will ever happen as I doubt there is any way to tell this story without it being very obviously a love story .It difficult to tell the story and tone down or omit the relationship between the 2 characters and still have the same story making it unlikely to pass censorship. With The Untamed and Word of Honour it was easy for the screen writers to gloss over the relationships and still have a cohesive plot with Immortality the actual love story is too relevant to the plot for this to happen.
It appears that the Chinese Communist government thinks things will disappear if they are prohibited, highly censored or totally ignored. Maybe they will. Look how well the country is doing under their control (said facetiously).
Reading the novel really is a good option whike waiting for the airing. Ive read the novel and its great, became one of my favourite danmei novels. If you dont like bl dont worry i sometimes forgot the novel was bl because of the great plot and other characters. It just is a must read. It also has a manhua but the chapters are still very less but its also worth trying. Ive also read many other danmeis like heaven officials blessing. This novel too has an upcomming live action called eternal faith but just like immortality weve been waiting forever to air due the same reason *censorship*. But again ive also read the untamed novel (the grandmaster if demonic cultivation) and if im being honest the novel got wayy more details than in the live action.
Chen Feiyu looks a bit delectable. I think I have seen him in something Viki? I love the sound of this so I hope it comes out. I was so happy and excited when I stumbled across Word Of Honour and The Untamed back in 2021. I thought I had hit a gold mine and then China cracked down on "sissy men" and ZZH was targeted and it all crumbled. Those two dramas were fantastic. The beauty of the Gong Jun and Xiao Zhan knocked my socks off and BL as well?! Wow. The costumes, the creativity and myths, the fighting all of it was just a feast. So I found Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's books and read them. Genius. I think The Untamed may have been a freak as I cannot get over how perfectly the series nailed the characters and the feeling of the books. I have nearly finished Heaven Official's Blessing series. I would kill for a live action series for that but how? Can people tell me where the animated series are for The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing can be seen? The whole streaming app thing has gotten out of control. I also need subtitles (damn my no Mandarin-ness lol) Thank you for the updates.
Well..a live action series for Heavens Official Blessings called Eternal Faith has already been filmed in China and probably all ready to air....but just like immortality and the and the rest of the 0:02 other unaired BL adaptations...all are in the banned dungeon at the moment😅.....I'm here hoping for oneday all these stupid censors lift so I can watch these dramas. For watching the anime adaptations of MDZS...its all on WeTV...You'll probably need to subscribe to have a better viewing experience without the annoying ads.... HOB anime.....S1 is on Netfix and the S2 on Chroncroll....not sure if they are on Viki...these are the official sites I guess.
As far as i know,there are curently only 2 seasons out for Heaven Official's Blessing,you can find both on youtube. Bonus: season 2 is dubed in english,and Hua Cheng's voice will literally melt your panties 😍 (As much as i prefer everything in original language with subtitles,Hua Cheng's dubbed voice is freaking amazing)
i'm wondering how chinese ban gay material too. for last several years all BL/GL manhua all got cut down or force to end but recently I saw many BL/GL mahua in bili manga available to read and even no censorship. maybe we have some hope for this drama to air.
Ok, dentro de china tal vez lo transmitan o tal vez no, pero ¿porque a nivel internacional definitivamente no? aquí no tenemos esos prejuicios ni somos tan conservadores y los fans no somos en absoluto conservadores como allá, entonces ¿porque?
My guess is because the main market is China. The company won't get as much money if they release it internationally AND they are going to get bad reputation with the government for trying to bend the rules (because the censored show will inevitably leak into Chinese web). So, in short, a lot of financial and reputational risks, not worth it.
Are animated dramas in a different category, then? Since S2 of Heaven Official's Blessing was able to air? (And the English dub of it was even a bit ~zesty~)
It's a bit hard to explain but donghua (animation) is considered fictional/cartoons and doesn't fall under a hard scutiny compared to 'real life' shows. A tiny little scandal by one of the actors in a major production might cause the entire show to be taken down, and the actors themselves get literally wiped out from the internet. When you run a search on their name it will actually come back with zero results. Because of this they are extremely strict about what is broadcasted. Male actors are also not allowed to be 'too girly' or 'wear heavy makeup' in like interviews or variety shows because it will 'corrupt' the young people watching. Even cleavages were banned at one point and production companies had to do post-editing to cover the boobie valley line or risk getting their show removed lol. They treat actors as like Role Models and so they have to uphold the morals and shits lol. Basically, if our kids watch gay what if they turn gay oh noooozzzz
Just air the drama. Many of us been waiting for this to come out for long time. Everyone should have a bigger open mind. Crossing my fingers this will air.
I was not really a fan but I am looking forward to see the series mainly because of the untamed influence. I didnt realized that were waiting for almost 4 years now!
I hate to lose luo yunxi drama His acting is superby But we have unholy Thai Bl Dramas and episodes are less compared to chinese drama So i prefer them
Very disappointing that the Chinese govt is so OTT about BL dramas because creative art should alway have freedom of expression as long as it doesn't cause actual harm to people physically/mentally. The fans on the other hand are outrageously out of order in their toxic support. Their behavior in aggressively wanting to destroy an actor/actress career is psychotic causing extensive damage to one's reputation. Such behaviour should be penalised by the Chinese entertainment industry.
they should just come out and say its cancelled already. maybe in the near future we they can just get redo the production w/ new upcoming actors bc the current actors would be on top of the entertainment industry and i doubt they would want to get this out to tarnish their reputation anyways. it sad that the production team wasted so much of their time and effort but what can we do
I don’t know much about the actor who plays Mo Ran, but I know for a fact that Luo YunXi would have made a perfect Chu Wanning after watching Till the end of the moon.
Yes he's the perfect CWN...no one could be cast to play this role other than LYX....For Moran....since I'm familiar with CFY acting and personality...lol....that literally Moran incarnated😅....I also have no doubt in his acting to portray playful rebellious Moran and dark, fearful dangerous breathtaking Taxian Jun..
They were rumors it would come out but would be heavily censured, even ading a female lead, but Chen feiyu even got in some controversy so the chances are now even slimers
I just wish these fans don’t turn everything toxic. It’s their fault that the actors end up suffering so much. It’s already a stretch for the Chinese govt bcoz BL is not legal in China yet. With all this out of the box imagination and virtual rioting, these fans only end up harming their own idol and the other actors too, in the process. People need to know where to draw the lines and seriously consider getting a life outside of all this.
@@Vii2007Someone from China with the ability to appeal to the Censorship board should keep trying. China is so modernised in every field. Why is she so archaic in this area. Men do love men and women do love women. It could be non sexual. If it is but they don't flount it in front of the disapproving, it's none of other people's business! Really no one should interfere in the privacy of others!
I honestly watched the untamed and fell in love with Chinese dramas of ancient times. Another thing is maybe I was dumb but I never knew it was a BL story I thought it was a friendship drama lol they can do the same for immortality!!
If that show was released eventually, it is the other shows following its steps that got ousted for all kinds of reasons and that seems to have made the censorship board even more determined to block the. release of all BL dramas. Not discerning on which should be exempt because Immortality is based on a famous novel that is not banned! Why ban the drama then? I guess to escape from being blocked it has to be as close to the book version as possible and avoid even innocent touching scenes as far as possible!!! What a splash of cold water on us!
Anyway its not released due to stupid censorship reasons. Why don't they put it on youtube as rent per view. At least some part of their production cost will be reimbursed and we viewers will get joy of watching the series, at the end ... I hope they release it internationally at least....
I'm seriously wondering how 'Advance Bravely' got past censorship bc i saw pictures of literal kissing scenes (not edited) and also other implied explicit scenes
Really? Then the one I watched was probably a cutted version. Felt like their was a lot missing in between scenes. And I also heard that Gong Jun and his co-star were banned from acting with each other after the series aired.
Не сказала бы, что информация в видео по поводу ZZH достаточно верна, да и его дело не связано именно с тематикой дорамы, в которой он снялся (если вы в курсе про то, что с 21 года до сих пор происходит и кто участвует в том, чтобы очернить ZZH и нажиться на нём). Очень жду Immortality, надеясь, что дорама выйдет. Не думаю, что сценаристы и режиссер настолько глупы, чтобы снять что-то, что цензура настолько жёстко не захочет пропускать. Опираясь на пример Word of honor, который совершенно убил китайскую цензуру (как ты это пропустила в эфир в Китае???), могу сказать, что Immortality вероятно выйдет, но не понятно с каким трудностями столкнулась команда. В общем, надеемся, ждём и верим 🙃🙃🙃
Luo Yunxi is a good actor but seem like something went wrong with his drama. For example, some FL in his previous drama doesn't match or acting good enough. or some of his good drama didn't air much on other platform. I wish there are more of his drama on Netflix since he deserve to be seen more.
I also heard the same. They are busy trimming the parts that wont pass censorship. How disappointing. Resding the 5 volumes of the translated book that doesnt lead to a glimpse of the drama is not good enough. I want to see how LuoYunxi and Arthur Chen Feiyu do a BL together! It would be most fascinating between two guys who are straight. 😅❤. China is really too restrictive!
All should realize the actors in Untamed and Word of Honor had major issues in their careers after they aired. I don’t want this to happen again, maybe that’s why this one hasn’t aired.
I'm really confused. Do the writers, directors, producers, etc., go through completing an entire bl series/movie only to hope on a wing and a prayer that it airs? Do the Chinese government not read the script before approving the series to start filming? I mean, how does this work? I know about the we whole Chinese censorship thing, but I can't see these big production series start filming through completion, not knowing if it will ever air. It's a waste of time and money.
The untamed was a success, i think they started producing other BL series before Xiao Zhan's controversy. Word of Honor released, on the way to become another successful series, got shut down because Zhan ZheHan's controversy. At that point, i think they already finished filming the planned next BL series (like immortality). And then government started to get stricter with the laws and rules about BL series. I think the government screening the series after filming. Can't find a reason to not approve it because well, basically the story is about brotherhood. (Yeah, brothers... Like Lao Wen and A Xu from Word of Honor... 😂) So they just have to find another way to shut those BL series waves...
Well not exactly, but partially Yes. The screenplays are approved prior filming, but after filming you have to submit the completed serie to obtain the “aring licence”. This is mandatory for all the C-dramas BL or not. Since cenzorship on BL got stricker due the Untamed and Word of Honor, Immortality was submitted for the licence I think 3 times. 2 times it got returned with requirements for additional cuts, 3rd time they were basically told to reshoot the whole drama replacing one of the male lead with female 😕 So they have not tried since. Prior the Untamed not many BL drama were shot and those that were released didn’t gain huge popularity neither So the cenzors were confident, that in conservative China this could not happen. The Untamed popularity came as a huge shock 🤣 And even more he massive popularity it gained internationally. On IMDB its the highest scoring chinese production ever 😂 So they the government already held grudge over the fact that their most acclaimed production internationally is gay.
@katerinakucerova2937 Omg you are a RockStar. I've tried to find, and even asked in various comments, for information and explanations to better explain this process. To no avail until now. This really helps me to have a better understanding of the process, outrage, decision making, and cultural bias that's influencing the BL genre. Thanks a bunch.
Do the actors get to see the whole script or info of novel base before accepting roles? The studio & teams are wasting the actors time if higher up know it's banned material & actors have no clue!
Oh they do read whole script and even source material. I had seen a interview ofarthur chen saying he read whole " husky and his white cat shizun" novel before accepting the role
I might as well go on a strike for BL chinese dramas. I don't understand why people would ruin it by doing these things like shipping actors or taking photos. They can ship the characters all they want just don't ruin it for others. And invading privacy to take photos or something like that is horrible🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️To people who hate or dislike BL why tf you gotta jump in???? Just leave before angering everyone, it just proves how childish you are to hate what people like or may even disrespect people who relate to these characters.

*BL became popular in China thanks to Addicted (2016)*
I’m living in hope this will at some point this will air ,however , I’m not sure it will ever happen as I doubt there is any way to tell this story without it being very obviously a love story .It difficult to tell the story and tone down or omit the relationship between the 2 characters and still have the same story making it unlikely to pass censorship. With The Untamed and Word of Honour it was easy for the screen writers to gloss over the relationships and still have a cohesive plot with Immortality the actual love story is too relevant to the plot for this to happen.
It appears that the Chinese Communist government thinks things will disappear if they are prohibited, highly censored or totally ignored. Maybe they will. Look how well the country is doing under their control (said facetiously).
PLEASE MAKE ONE FOR HEAVENS OFFICIAL BLESSINGS 😭 these two are my most anticipated
It's already exist but they change the title into eternal faith but 😢
@@78HannaH78 I mean update on the drama
@@78HannaH78 they are shooting it since 2022 but aren't releasing, I hope it won't get cancelled 😭 I'm anticipating it sm..I can't wait
i read it's to come out dec 31 2024. However i am not sure if this is true or not, but i guess we will find out when it comes around to that month
I really hope that is the case, but I don't dare believe it.
It's ok even if it takes years as long as they release it 😢
@@Coohearthaddict9804 Effectively.
Reading the novel really is a good option whike waiting for the airing. Ive read the novel and its great, became one of my favourite danmei novels. If you dont like bl dont worry i sometimes forgot the novel was bl because of the great plot and other characters. It just is a must read. It also has a manhua but the chapters are still very less but its also worth trying. Ive also read many other danmeis like heaven officials blessing. This novel too has an upcomming live action called eternal faith but just like immortality weve been waiting forever to air due the same reason *censorship*. But again ive also read the untamed novel (the grandmaster if demonic cultivation) and if im being honest the novel got wayy more details than in the live action.
Chen Feiyu looks a bit delectable. I think I have seen him in something Viki? I love the sound of this so I hope it comes out. I was so happy and excited when I stumbled across Word Of Honour and The Untamed back in 2021. I thought I had hit a gold mine and then China cracked down on "sissy men" and ZZH was targeted and it all crumbled. Those two dramas were fantastic. The beauty of the Gong Jun and Xiao Zhan knocked my socks off and BL as well?! Wow. The costumes, the creativity and myths, the fighting all of it was just a feast. So I found Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's books and read them. Genius. I think The Untamed may have been a freak as I cannot get over how perfectly the series nailed the characters and the feeling of the books. I have nearly finished Heaven Official's Blessing series. I would kill for a live action series for that but how?
Can people tell me where the animated series are for The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing can be seen? The whole streaming app thing has gotten out of control. I also need subtitles (damn my no Mandarin-ness lol)
Thank you for the updates.
Well..a live action series for Heavens Official Blessings called Eternal Faith has already been filmed in China and probably all ready to air....but just like immortality and the and the rest of the 0:02 other unaired BL adaptations...all are in the banned dungeon at the moment😅.....I'm here hoping for oneday all these stupid censors lift so I can watch these dramas.
For watching the anime adaptations of MDZS...its all on WeTV...You'll probably need to subscribe to have a better viewing experience without the annoying ads....
HOB anime.....S1 is on Netfix and the S2 on Chroncroll....not sure if they are on Viki...these are the official sites I guess.
Hob s1- Netflix
s2- google
Mdzs- TH-cam
Crunchyroll has the anime for HOB and Viki has the anime for MDZS. There is a live for HOB but that has been put on the shelf next to Immortality.
I also want to see another work by MTXT, " Tianbao fuyao Lu"... With these wonderful actors too😩
As far as i know,there are curently only 2 seasons out for Heaven Official's Blessing,you can find both on youtube.
Bonus: season 2 is dubed in english,and Hua Cheng's voice will literally melt your panties 😍
(As much as i prefer everything in original language with subtitles,Hua Cheng's dubbed voice is freaking amazing)
I hope they just air internationally. Too bad I was really looking forward to seeing it.
You all leave BL series alone, they are sooo addictive.
it should be aired,,,im waiting for ages now,,,no doubt the
untamed is hit,,,it was the one which got me into c dramas
i'm wondering how chinese ban gay material too. for last several years all BL/GL manhua all got cut down or force to end but recently I saw many BL/GL mahua in bili manga available to read and even no censorship. maybe we have some hope for this drama to air.
The genre is not the problem anymore. Chen FeiYu is
EXACTLY!!
Wait. What? Why is Chen Feiyu the problem? @@6Euphoria6
All we can hope is that one day the ban will be overturned and then we will have a million dramas released all at once for us to binge
Ok, dentro de china tal vez lo transmitan o tal vez no, pero ¿porque a nivel internacional definitivamente no? aquí no tenemos esos prejuicios ni somos tan conservadores y los fans no somos en absoluto conservadores como allá, entonces ¿porque?
My guess is because the main market is China. The company won't get as much money if they release it internationally AND they are going to get bad reputation with the government for trying to bend the rules (because the censored show will inevitably leak into Chinese web). So, in short, a lot of financial and reputational risks, not worth it.
Still hope it will maybe......
Are animated dramas in a different category, then? Since S2 of Heaven Official's Blessing was able to air? (And the English dub of it was even a bit ~zesty~)
I don't understand either.
It's a bit hard to explain but donghua (animation) is considered fictional/cartoons and doesn't fall under a hard scutiny compared to 'real life' shows. A tiny little scandal by one of the actors in a major production might cause the entire show to be taken down, and the actors themselves get literally wiped out from the internet. When you run a search on their name it will actually come back with zero results. Because of this they are extremely strict about what is broadcasted. Male actors are also not allowed to be 'too girly' or 'wear heavy makeup' in like interviews or variety shows because it will 'corrupt' the young people watching. Even cleavages were banned at one point and production companies had to do post-editing to cover the boobie valley line or risk getting their show removed lol. They treat actors as like Role Models and so they have to uphold the morals and shits lol. Basically, if our kids watch gay what if they turn gay oh noooozzzz
@@KryaDiere Thank you for the explanations.
It's really sad, a government like this.
S2 of HoB was not allowed to air in China.
@@IllusionQueen4Eva I know, but why don't they do the same thing with Immortality ?
Yes! Please release it internationally!🙏🙏🙏
Since it’s already filmed, just sell it internationally! Problem solved, right China?!
Espero que si no lo pueden transmitir en china, dejen que los demas fans del mundo podamos disfrutarlo. ❤
We literally goona become immortal and gods while waiting for this cdrama 💀
Just air the drama. Many of us been waiting for this to come out for long time. Everyone should have a bigger open mind. Crossing my fingers this will air.
Some rumours said the series will be released on May 1st. Full episodes on same day. Just what happens to The Spirealm
Which year
Tomorrow is may 1 st
August 3rd 🙄@@anayaisha8378
Luo yunxi is a great actor. I love hime
knew it is related to THE UNTAMED🥺😢
OOH! MY YIZHAN HEART💘💘
Funny thing in last 3 years I watch how fandom of this drama slowly losing mind and hope
I'm still qaing for immortality ....
I wish this drama will release soon as soon as possible
I was not really a fan but I am looking forward to see the series mainly because of the untamed influence. I didnt realized that were waiting for almost 4 years now!
I wanted to watch it bcz of Arthur Chen but if it is not aired yet what's the meaning of searching it about.
wait so this drama isnt released? someone will tell me where i can watch this show
I have bee known to declare that Chinese BL is the best, although Vietnam could give some stiff competition.
Maybe they can release to international fans first.
That would jut make chinese fans riot.
I hate to lose luo yunxi drama
His acting is superby
But we have unholy Thai Bl Dramas and episodes are less compared to chinese drama
So i prefer them
It's now 2024
Plz air it even on international webs
Why don’t they release it internationally? 😢
Very disappointing that the Chinese govt is so OTT about BL dramas because creative art should alway have freedom of expression as long as it doesn't cause actual harm to people physically/mentally. The fans on the other hand are outrageously out of order in their toxic support. Their behavior in aggressively wanting to destroy an actor/actress career is psychotic causing extensive damage to one's reputation. Such behaviour should be penalised by the Chinese entertainment industry.
i´ve been waiting for immortality for about 2 years like since 2022😭
they should just come out and say its cancelled already. maybe in the near future we they can just get redo the production w/ new upcoming actors bc the current actors would be on top of the entertainment industry and i doubt they would want to get this out to tarnish their reputation anyways. it sad that the production team wasted so much of their time and effort but what can we do
I would say as much : the untamed was a fateful event (something extraordinaire) of the 2 big male stars now, xiao zhan & wang yibo
I don’t know much about the actor who plays Mo Ran, but I know for a fact that Luo YunXi would have made a perfect Chu Wanning after watching Till the end of the moon.
Yes he's the perfect CWN...no one could be cast to play this role other than LYX....For Moran....since I'm familiar with CFY acting and personality...lol....that literally Moran incarnated😅....I also have no doubt in his acting to portray playful rebellious Moran and dark, fearful dangerous breathtaking Taxian Jun..
I'll learn Chinese if they decide to release this drama
Idk I'm still holding out hope
We're going to cultivate to immortality before this releases.
They were rumors it would come out but would be heavily censured, even ading a female lead, but Chen feiyu even got in some controversy so the chances are now even slimers
What controversy did he get into ?
UNFAIRRRR BRO i hope they gonna collab with taiwanese and Thailand
I hope they dont create any such thing and kill our chances of seeing Immortality! 😮
The more I read about toxic fan behaviour, the more I believe there are very unmedicated people out there..
I just wish these fans don’t turn everything toxic. It’s their fault that the actors end up suffering so much. It’s already a stretch for the Chinese govt bcoz BL is not legal in China yet. With all this out of the box imagination and virtual rioting, these fans only end up harming their own idol and the other actors too, in the process. People need to know where to draw the lines and seriously consider getting a life outside of all this.
I have the first 4 books and am waiting for the fifth ❤
Did anyone message the China censorship to protest about this . This drama need to be aired asap
How about you try? 😂
Yes please try
@@Vii2007Someone from China with the ability to appeal to the Censorship board should keep trying. China is so modernised in every field. Why is she so archaic in this area. Men do love men and women do love women. It could be non sexual. If it is but they don't flount it in front of the disapproving, it's none of other people's business! Really no one should interfere in the privacy of others!
@@lynchan3158is that suppose to be agree or disagree
I honestly watched the untamed and fell in love with Chinese dramas of ancient times. Another thing is maybe I was dumb but I never knew it was a BL story I thought it was a friendship drama lol they can do the same for immortality!!
If that show was released eventually, it is the other shows following its steps that got ousted for all kinds of reasons and that seems to have made the censorship board even more determined to block the. release of all BL dramas. Not discerning on which should be exempt because Immortality is based on a famous novel that is not banned! Why ban the drama then? I guess to escape from being blocked it has to be as close to the book version as possible and avoid even innocent touching scenes as far as possible!!! What a splash of cold water on us!
Tem alguma novidade sobre quando esse dorama será exibido?
I am ready to wait for Chu Wanning forever 😭😭😭
Anyway its not released due to stupid censorship reasons. Why don't they put it on youtube as rent per view. At least some part of their production cost will be reimbursed and we viewers will get joy of watching the series, at the end ... I hope they release it internationally at least....
😢😢😢 still waiting 2021😢
I would love to see the drama Immortality and the drama Stay with me Season 2
I just need to have a very long lifespan to wait for the BL dramas to be released.
Where can we get the novel? Not the online one
English book translation on Amazon
You can buy it
I'm seriously wondering how 'Advance Bravely' got past censorship bc i saw pictures of literal kissing scenes (not edited) and also other implied explicit scenes
Really? Then the one I watched was probably a cutted version. Felt like their was a lot missing in between scenes. And I also heard that Gong Jun and his co-star were banned from acting with each other after the series aired.
Не сказала бы, что информация в видео по поводу ZZH достаточно верна, да и его дело не связано именно с тематикой дорамы, в которой он снялся (если вы в курсе про то, что с 21 года до сих пор происходит и кто участвует в том, чтобы очернить ZZH и нажиться на нём).
Очень жду Immortality, надеясь, что дорама выйдет. Не думаю, что сценаристы и режиссер настолько глупы, чтобы снять что-то, что цензура настолько жёстко не захочет пропускать. Опираясь на пример Word of honor, который совершенно убил китайскую цензуру (как ты это пропустила в эфир в Китае???), могу сказать, что Immortality вероятно выйдет, но не понятно с каким трудностями столкнулась команда. В общем, надеемся, ждём и верим 🙃🙃🙃
The volume 5 of the novel is not complete 😢 I've searched fr d complete one but can't find any
Luo Yunxi is a good actor but seem like something went wrong with his drama. For example, some FL in his previous drama doesn't match or acting good enough. or some of his good drama didn't air much on other platform. I wish there are more of his drama on Netflix since he deserve to be seen more.
Then what about eternal faith drama.........is it also ban
It will be released later this year.
For real!??
Really?
that's what they keep saying...an dnothing gets released!
Stupid reasons to cancel a show. I hope is release internationally.
I'm curious about the future of these stories adaptation. Isn't Zhang Linghe currently filming Heaven Official's Blessing?
Eu também espero eternamente Sha Po Lang 😢.
ពិតជាគួរអោយស្តាយមែន ដែលមិនបានទស្សនារឿងភាគនេះ , ខ្ញុំស្រលាញ់សាច់រឿងនេះណាស់ !
Cultivating my Immortality to be able to wait for release of Immortality :)
2024😢
😢
Dicho😢 nunca lo veré ,😞😞😞
I don't think it will air as the novel contains mostly sensitive content of bl😢 but the novel and manhua are pretty good ❤
Слышала, что Бессмертие выйдет в декабре 2024
ага где-то писали что 32 декабря стоит ждать
I also heard the same. They are busy trimming the parts that wont pass censorship. How disappointing. Resding the 5 volumes of the translated book that doesnt lead to a glimpse of the drama is not good enough. I want to see how LuoYunxi and Arthur Chen Feiyu do a BL together! It would be most fascinating between two guys who are straight. 😅❤. China is really too restrictive!
This is so sad
Why is there such an immense interest in BL movies? Is BL increasing among the Chinese population in China who are waiting to “ come out into public?”
All should realize the actors in Untamed and Word of Honor had major issues in their careers after they aired. I don’t want this to happen again, maybe that’s why this one hasn’t aired.
I don’t understand why? This also a good drama.
I was so excited for this one too man😢
I'm really confused. Do the writers, directors, producers, etc., go through completing an entire bl series/movie only to hope on a wing and a prayer that it airs? Do the Chinese government not read the script before approving the series to start filming? I mean, how does this work? I know about the we whole Chinese censorship thing, but I can't see these big production series start filming through completion, not knowing if it will ever air. It's a waste of time and money.
The untamed was a success, i think they started producing other BL series before Xiao Zhan's controversy.
Word of Honor released, on the way to become another successful series, got shut down because Zhan ZheHan's controversy.
At that point, i think they already finished filming the planned next BL series (like immortality). And then government started to get stricter with the laws and rules about BL series.
I think the government screening the series after filming. Can't find a reason to not approve it because well, basically the story is about brotherhood. (Yeah, brothers... Like Lao Wen and A Xu from Word of Honor... 😂) So they just have to find another way to shut those BL series waves...
Well not exactly, but partially Yes. The screenplays are approved prior filming, but after filming you have to submit the completed serie to obtain the “aring licence”. This is mandatory for all the C-dramas BL or not. Since cenzorship on BL got stricker due the Untamed and Word of Honor, Immortality was submitted for the licence I think 3 times. 2 times it got returned with requirements for additional cuts, 3rd time they were basically told to reshoot the whole drama replacing one of the male lead with female 😕 So they have not tried since. Prior the Untamed not many BL drama were shot and those that were released didn’t gain huge popularity neither So the cenzors were confident, that in conservative China this could not happen. The Untamed popularity came as a huge shock 🤣 And even more he massive popularity it gained internationally. On IMDB its the highest scoring chinese production ever 😂 So they the government already held grudge over the fact that their most acclaimed production internationally is gay.
@katerinakucerova2937 Omg you are a RockStar. I've tried to find, and even asked in various comments, for information and explanations to better explain this process. To no avail until now. This really helps me to have a better understanding of the process, outrage, decision making, and cultural bias that's influencing the BL genre. Thanks a bunch.
"So the government already held grudge over the fact that their most acclaimed production internationally is gay." That is hilarious 🤣
Do the actors get to see the whole script or info of novel base before accepting roles? The studio & teams are wasting the actors time if higher up know it's banned material & actors have no clue!
Oh they do read whole script and even source material. I had seen a interview ofarthur chen saying he read whole " husky and his white cat shizun" novel before accepting the role
Can’t they air it on youtube or netflix or else that is not on tv so that world can enjoy it?
I don’t care with the story i just want to see luo yunxi
I might as well go on a strike for BL chinese dramas. I don't understand why people would ruin it by doing these things like shipping actors or taking photos. They can ship the characters all they want just don't ruin it for others. And invading privacy to take photos or something like that is horrible🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️To people who hate or dislike BL why tf you gotta jump in???? Just leave before angering everyone, it just proves how childish you are to hate what people like or may even disrespect people who relate to these characters.
Novel passed but drama not😅. how come?
Till the end of the moon? It’s called Love between fairy and devil, no?
Its like will be waiting for this until my 19th life
Only an immortal would see Immortality air
LUO YINXI IS SOOO CHU WANNING!
