Fans were excited when the list of attendees of “The Untamed” Nanjing concert was released. At the same time, fans started getting worried about Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo’s stage time being reduced due to the number of guests performing. The organizers, New Style Media (NSM), spoke with Sina to assure fans Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo’s performance times wouldn’t be impacted and revealed some other interesting facts about the concert.
Korean Netizens are Loving Wang Yibo and “Lan Wangji” After Watching “The Untamed”
Sina: How long are “The Untamed” Nanjing concerts? Due to the amount of guests, a lot of fans are worried Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo’s stage time will only last 10 minutes.
NSM: Each concert will at least be two and half hours long. The second day will be a little longer. There will be a special farewell ceremony. Hope everyone will have an unforgettable memory.
Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo will take up over 60% of the performance time. Each person will have their own character song and a group song. They will also be on stage during interactions.
We have re-arranged their character songs. We also invited dozens of string orchestra players to perform live. It’ll feel more realistic than the album version. I went to the rehearsal yesterday. I think the whole effect is really good.
We also helped them create a really good stage. There will be a mechanical device that will send them to the audience, not just the inner stadium audience. The people watching the stage from the stands can closely watch them too.

Sina: What are the differences between the concerts on the 1st and the 2nd?
NSM: The song list for both days are the same. Tallying everyone together, there will be about 15, 16 songs, but the interaction parts will be different for each day.
The first day will be a happy theme. Everyone will be happily interacting with fans and there will also be a cheerful performance. The second day will be an emotional theme. We invited all the actors who were available to perform. Hoping they can have a reunion and make “limited summer memories” with each fan. All the actors will gather for the final curtain call.
Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo Want to Collaborate Again
Sina: Have you guys paid attention to public sentiment? Have you considered some of the fans’ demands?
NSM: We’ve actually seen some of their reactions. We will also make the corresponding adjustments, like having a live broadcast this time. Hope we can try to satisfy everyone.
Compared to the Thailand venue, the stage content and the overall quality of the Nanjing venue is a pretty big upgrade. We hope everyone buys more tickets so more people can come to the venue, that’s why we held two concerts.
We could’ve chosen a stadium originally, have a 40,000-50,000 audience concert. We didn’t do this because the stadium won’t have that effect. It definitely wouldn’t have that shock factor from a gymnasium. So we rather have two concerts at the gymnasium instead of one concert at the stadium.

Sina: Why are the Nanjing concerts scheduled so late? Some fans feel that since the series has already finished airing for three months already, the after sales service is too long.
NSM: From when we first started planning to designing the stage, it has taken about three months to prepare. In order to apply for approval for a performance, you need to have everything prepared already and then apply. After we had everything designed already, waited for everyone to have time in their schedules, the venue was okay, only this time slot was available.
I am here to see Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo news only I miss them so much. Hope they are fine and healthy.
Besides collaboration in drama, I feel and hope, that Xiao Zhan & Wang Yi Bo, also suitable for collaborating in music, can form a duet group to always sing together, perhaps more dynamic genres, rap & more dance (following the energetic from Wang YI Bo), OMG … they both work well together. Sometimes it is difficult to choose one of them. They are both cute & sweet.
How I wish I could be there physically instead of just streaming it on WeTV App. They’ve been preparing this for about 3 amount so this would be very amazing, for sure! Also, this might be a farewell as well : (
I will wait patiently for WeTV English broadcast on YouTube. Excited ofcourse.
No I wanna go but that’s like swimming over there I can’t swim
I feel sad already… It feels like the “end”, like there’s no way they will be gathered again eevn though CQL might be shown in other countries like Korea and Japan… To be honest, I don’t want to let go of all of them… I want to remain in the CQL universe with all the actors playing their respective characters… It’s been almost 3 months… I have not gotten over them…
I hope they either release a movie of their concert to theaters in the US like BTS did! BTS had 3 movies of their concerts from their world tour play in US movie theaters and each one I went to was packed. Also it’s becoming much more popular to play movies of anime’s at the theatre (like an OVA) or the live version of an anime in theaters. (Like Bleach & Death Note). Then those anime or live version movies appear on Netflix, crunchyroll or funimation afterwards or on utube. I think Founder of Diabolism and the “untamed” live version have enough fans, support in interest that they could successfully do this in the US. Maybe then we could get a fan meeting from Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo in the US as well! I would buy the anime and live version on DVD and a concert video! The quality, art, plot and actors magnetic quality really brought in a big fanbase to all versions of the series! (I just wish they would make an OVA showing Wei and Lan Zhan getting together after the end of where Untamed left off!
