Omg you cooked here 😭 ngl i don't care about her cp with the snake at all and I find their scenes irrelevant but people excuse way worse things for male chars...

WYL and CFY's 2nd collab better be in their companies' receipts like this is the kind of cp that breaks the mf Internet and changes lives and it happens 3 times a year at max 😭I need them in either one of those Tomb raiding/treasure hunting contemporary fantasy dramas or a historical drama where they solve murder mysteries tgt with a touch of romance in it ahhhhhh please please hear me out PLEASE KPAHDHWU

I'm not watching MR right now and that wasn't the drama I was talking about. There's also Under the skin and some other more serious suspense and youth dramas I've watched from linmon that had really good prod (besides from the ones you named)...I just wanted cameraworks and editing that'd be more cinematic bc the script here is really great and it deserved better directing to intensifiy the emotional impact 😭

okay I love xianyu obviously bc of the script and actors but here's my 2 cents about directing: The number of works or the popularity of them don't really determine a director's skill and talent. It's also pretty much telling that yin zheng's good directing DID help clj's critical acclaim when you see how the next stellar media dramas didn't do as well despite the popular casts and budget.
I also really love dir. yangyang (a dresn of splendour, ever night etc) and Zeng Qingjie (blossom). YY doesn't have many shows under her name and zqj litterally debuted last year but they know how to use the camera and how to combine it with different things like music, editing, lighting, frame work etc to emphasise the emotional impact of plot points. (I just named YZ bc his directing left the best impression on me among the xianxias I've watched)

yeah I believe the db score will also rise to at least 6 bc even cntez were saying it was unfair that they opened too early and it deserved a better score bc it stands out from other xianxias (also hope it breaks the 10k heat index I can't watch my babies flop 😭)

also the promotion is just terrible 😭 was reading some post on weibo yesterday talking abt how the hashtags they use and the scenes/promo material they decide to hype up for hot searches don't highlight parts of the drama that make it sp at all

yeah ik and I'm happy about it but better cameraworks and better editing, music, no blurring face filters etc would make this an epic experience to watch...the writing specially with the romance and the chemistry is just soooo insanely good but it would be an all-time classic if the director knew how to shot and produce epic and emotional scenes to make them more impactful

In an alternative universe Xianyu would have been directed by yi zheng (director of lbfad) and under the production of linmon pictures so that this great script + incredible cp could get the production and promotion it deserved and it'd become a loved and critically well received hit both domestically and internationally 😭

_ capitalism is crazy bc why am I born to be a princess yet forced to work a 9 to 5 corporate job.

well ypu think that bc you don't speak Chinese. Native speakers definitely hear things that we don't!!

bruh just search "why are cdramas dubbed" in google and it'll litterally tell you this 😭 I'm not making it up line delivery or diction is what Chinese people always talk abt and they're referring to the clear pronunciation of words and the delivery of phrases...and don't you think it'll look ridiculous if you put emotions and drama into your lines when you can't pronounce words correctly and clearly in a certain dialect??

Line delivery is many things but is first and foremost the clear pronunciation of words and when you speak standard mandarin with an accent, the words and phrases will be incomprehensible to many people who are not from your region. And it's also distracting in a historical setting.

there's nothing wrong with comedy idk why you people hate fun so much

yesss

the way I've been impatiently waiting for this for 1000 years but they decided to air xinayu and MR at the same time...now I'm too invested in xianyu and I'm severely incapable of multitasking so I'll have to finish that one first before starting this 😭 but I'll cheer for my stunning catgirl anyway XIAOTIAN WAIT FOR ME PLEASE

well tbf his family background did help him in the beginning of his career fs but I feel like something went wrong along the way and he needs his nepobaby card revoked now bc his resources have gotten worse over the years 😭

Okay I got it, I just thought you were talking about her appearance.

well the way you phrased it made it sound weird as hell

the comment about fl's lips was unnecessary
