After Chen Wenyu posted, the official Weibo account made the announcement.
As a popular variety show that had already released one season, it had gained a lot of loyal fans. Evaluating Actors China was a variety show which filmed a director's perspective on the pre- and post-production work which happened in the film industry. The directors also gave professional comments on actors involved in a production, and introduced viewers unfamiliar with the industry process to a brand new world of understanding. The variety show had a lot of fans, and after the first season ended, many people had frantically requested a second season.
Also, it was said that in order to give the audience a more immersive experience, the production team was going to broadcast live this time so that the audience would have an even more direct view of all the problems that directors might face while shooting, as well as how they solved them.
