"Try the World" broadcasts Yang Yang Zhao Lusi’s interpretation of Jianghu Sadism.

-Adapted from the novel of the same name by Qingyue, a large-scale costume martial arts drama "Try the World" directed by Yang Xiaopei and Fang Fang, and starring Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi will land on Tencent video tonight (April 18th). The drama mainly tells the story of the peerless Feng Lanxi (Yang Yang) and Bai Fengxi (Zhao Lusi) in absolute beauty. This is Yang Yang’s re-appearance in costume drama after "Wu Dong Gan Kun" in 2018. From the posters and trailers released by the play, we can see that Yang Yang’s costume is very consistent with the description of Fenglanxi in the original work, which is "black dress and ink moon, peerless elegance". In addition, this is the first time that Zhao Lusi, who has the title of "a sweet sister of online drama", has appeared in S+ martial arts drama, and "Try the World" is likely to become her transformation work.

     In addition to starring, the main lineup of the play is also in line with Tencent’s S+ puppet configuration. Director Yin Tao once directed costume dramas such as Under the Golden Clothes and Glory of Datang. The supporting cast is also very luxurious, with ZhangFeng yi, Carman Lee and Xuan Lu and Wayne of the new generation also playing important roles in the play.

     Another long-awaited life variety show "The Sixth Season of Desired Life" was also officially announced recently, and will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV from April 29. What remains unchanged is the guest lineup, which is still attended by Huang Lei, He Jiong, LAY, Peng Yuchang and Zifeng Zhang.
