now, what comes to my mind is that actors got even scripts for what to say and how to act in bts videos (preparation/interviews), everything fully directed and controlled (and fake)
Half of Wowkie Zhang's performance doesn't look like shot in the backstage studio (they never showed it there, where he enters it from cannot be seen either). Only for the 2nd part they have a built space there. I bet the 1st part was pre-recorded. Also half of the music is not by the orchestra but simply a playback. And just seconds before he "cries" there is a change of camera - only a coincidence? I doubt - every change of camera is the simplest way for cutting & joining the video, thus for hiding the moment when eyedrops were applied for fake tears to appear...
Faye Wong's explanation: "There will be people there holding a stereo. It is a speaker of this size" https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/08/31//180831075328712368.jpg https://nsa39.casimages.com/img/2018/08/31/180831081541705659.jpg "a speaker" my foot! and there is no sound feedback, no interference, after-sound or noise from it what's more, actors (and staff) change clothes/places within five seconds and there is no noise from any microphones either "the speaker", the microphones and how the sound is recorded - why not shown?
to pin a tiny micro under Yin Zheng's shirt (to record his heartbeat or neck pulse, I suppose...) - it takes them at least 6 seconds in real time before the recording Jerry Jia during his performance changes the costume (upper garment) within 3 seconds, and he doesn't need a micro to be fixed?
should I believe that Lou Yi Xiao (ep. 4) singing a song flawlessly was running in that minute from the studio to the stage more than 50 meters away? when they show backstage footage of her running, the sound of her voice is not as good and crystal sharp as in MV
I'm disgusted with Wong Faye who says to her guest (after Lou Yi Xiao's "live performance") that they won't show a real frame /process of filming/ because it would affect/interrupt viewers, and they won't show how it's done because a nonprofessional cannot understand it...
To cover cheating with an insult, the viewers are simply too stupid, so they don't need to explain
In raw footage (view from above) when Lou Yi Xiao exits the studio room, there is no person around her to hold the speaker "the speaker" is not running behind or next to her towards the stage she doesn't wear earphone (they put it on her later at the stage gate) and still she's ideally synchronized with the orchestra in the concert hall Are we that naive for Faye Wong?
That's a pity because actors are good, and some stories made in a very creative way but i cannot enjoy it
about the agency (to clarify): Black Gold launched its sub-brand company BG TALENT on 2016-08-19, the official notice in Chinese: "黑金正式推出旗下子品牌公司 黑金经纪 BG TALENT 将致力于打造新人偶像经纪的工业化操作。在完善自身产业发展布局的同时，将系统化的为优质新人偶像提供包含选拔、培训、打造、推出等的一整套运营策略。据悉，黑金还将围绕偶像经纪业务陆续展开更多的战略合作"
further recording of "Shake It Up" in recent days (08/16-08/18) Hou Ming Hao still in a game but the routine is exhausting, the flight Yinchuan-Shanghai on 08/15 was late, and at 23:00 he had to rush to the dance studio to practice... [ep 8 aired 180909]
I really feel like fooled with this one... I thought it would be REALLY live but to me it looks like a big cheating.
The short videoclips where guests perform and sing are allegedly recorded live, in the backstage built studio (connecting rooms/spaces) while the orchestra plays live in the concert hall. [China Hunan TV description google translated: "No editing, no re-entry, one chance, one step in place, singing in one "live broadcast"]
Maybe people in China believe it, but I don't. Unless somebody can explain to me, how it is possible when: 1) performers have no tv or concert (head) microphones 2) being in the backstage studio the performers cannot hear music played by the orchestra - they have no earphones or whatsoever, yet none of the singers is out of tune even a little bit (!) and how it is possible that: 3) the sound/vocal recorded is crystal clear and there are no noises audible - songs sound like studio recorded despite the fact that not only a singer is moving around but the whole team of camera operators is moving there too (!)
I really don't know whether I watch the City of Magical Music or a Copperfield illusion.
If this is played "live" by actors, I wonder what kind of drugs Ma Si Chun (ep. 2) took to produce such a flood of tears while performing. Seriously, was it a play or a hysterical fit? Why He Jiong and Faye Wong act unnatural in the audience ? Do they use artificial tears?
The show is not live aired, between the recording and the tv broadcast there is a lapse of about two weeks.
Officially now announced there will be no season 2. Grace's post on her weibo today 18-08-08: https://www.weibo.com/1267333247/GtHipEJ46 [google translation]: "Received too many fans' private messages, and now unified reply: Although we have never given up, due to copyright and review and other factors, "Cambrian Period" should not have a second season. Thank you for your support and love for the Cambrian Period. Our team has been working hard and hope to make better projects."
oh my.... I'm reading today: "The post-production of 西游记女儿国 , it is expected to be completed in 2018-10" they've been saying since March "soon", they don't know what "soon" means...
I was looking for Dilraba part. Is she is not going to dance? I only see her serving fruits.
IMO her status on this page should be change from "regular member" to "guest: herself" as she's only doing cheering and catering, and showed her face like for two minutes. Shes' neither in group A or B, and it seems to me that she's not going to dance, but then i think this is a question to Dilraba's fans/followers, they should know better... Maybe there will be next groups, because Hu Yi Tian was there in a dance studio yesterday too, so maybe there will be more members... Tomorrow is for sure group B so don't count much on seeing Dilraba...
Neo will spend his birthday recording next part of "Shake It Up". He moved from Beijing to Shanghai today (18-08-02) and is already practising at the venue. [material recorded on 08.03 - in ep. 7 aired 180902]

that's what I did too, I saw you and Mei in the forum thread I started for requested/subbed dramas but nobody wants to post info there, so I guess the thread has collapsed... thanks for updating the info, Mei!
