In the link I sent below, CCTV has made a post about The Boundless Bright Moon drama. Could it be that this drama…
It’s possible but not very likely for CCTV. CCTV showcases dramas all the time whether they air on their channel or not. It’s more likely they’re being featured because ZYC has had shows air on their channel and appears in their programs and PXR’s show on their channel had some of the highest ratings for the year it aired.
At first, I was not satisfied with the costumes at all. Now I can't get enough of looking at them 😂😂. The…
It seems there were costume looks that haven’t been seen because they were interior. I love the shot of PXR with the bubbles and I thought the shot of Yun Ya’s swordsmanship was a really cool. The bathtub dress also looks really pretty.
I love the overall positivity from the cast and crew so I really hope this show does well. So many posts are talking positively/praising other members and it’s so nice to see. It’s seems like it was a cast that really liked each other and got on super well despite the hard filming schedule.
Even we have to wait an extra half day, I’m satisfied with the wrap up video. The cast looks amazing, many epic…
I heard it was to do with releasing it at an auspicious time. Wish this show all the best. It’s a wrap up special but it can be seen that the filming quality looks really good.
Whenever I see filming leaks like the one below I really want to watch this show so much. PXR and ZYC have such a strong sense of atmosphere and beauty: https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1PLqWYrEwv
That was her first time dancing to the song. Once she got some more practice, she gets better😂:https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1TEDYYqEAL
When she was shooting for The Legend, she spent several weeks studying dance for one of its scenes and I guess she brought that skill to FoF. Even though she’s off beat in the first link, her movements , especially the swaying of the sleeves, are quite fluid. Plus, GJM made her practice the FoF dance too while she was filming FoF. There were apparently lessons 😂
If it sticks to the original storyline, technically no one.
Nah, not really. I heard there’s some hints of jealousy in the novel but there’s no full blown love triangle with SCH involved. For the drama, I’m not sure SCH has any romantic plot line at all.
That’s because GBMP was trying to attract FBB, the star of this show so the costuming had to be on point. In…
I did check them out but wasn’t interested in the end. I don’t really like Guo Jing Ming’s directing so I don’t watch his works unless there’s a special reason.

Cinematography is important but to me being able to shoot people well is part of it. I actually think it’s the most important because stories are told through characters. If a director can’t highlight characters well, the story suffers especially if it is character driven.
Xie Ze doesn’t seem good for these types of stories or heavily emotional stories for that reason. He can shoot interior scenes well, as long as the focus isn’t on people. He also has a sense of composition in the long shots. Also, if he is obsessed with candle lighting, he really needs a good lighting engineer. In actuality, his key strength is story rhythm. When I watch his stuff, I always think he’d be better as an editor than director although I think his storytelling method is too simple.
I haven’t watched any of the listed dramas due to lack of interest but I have seen clips. Out of the dramas I have watched, I tend to like the cinematography of older dramas. The technology seems better now but the actual technical ability seems more hit and miss in dramas. It could just be me though. When I started watching Chinese media, it was mostly films so my standards might be different because films have higher requirements.
MYCM wrapped up yesterday. Congrats to all the cast! Wishing the show a good broadcast and high ratings! Got some video of Xiao Ran at the wrap-up below: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5120573854190122

Zhao Lusi is styled very well in the drama so she looks good but the actual filming of the drama doesn’t look good. It has the same straightforward, muddied feeling as JJL and RoaTF. It’s like the opening of RoaTF, Xiao Ran is also very beautiful due to Nie Sangyu having a little styling, but the actually filming doesn’t look good. The beauty of the shot depends solely on the styling of the person rather than on the skill of the camera.
Xie Ze also received a lot of criticism and negative attention before he started shooting Pearl Girl because of how he shot JJL and RoaTF so there was a lot of pressure on him to shoot Pearl Girl better than JJL and RoaTF. I remember he locked his Weibo account because of it.
I say JJL and RoaTF production and shooting were wonky mostly due to a combination of BTS, filming leaks, and shows filmed around the same period but with vastly different results. Youku changed the filters on JJL after it started airing, and even aired “raw” versions of some key scenes during its broadcast. There were a lot of comments on the difference between the raw shots/footage and the final product. Even the dubbing had differences. In RoaTF, Xiao Ran basically looks fine in all the BTS, makeup video, and photos/videos taken by other cast members but the drama has a different effect suggesting the issue is with the shooting/production. This is especially true since ToDoI was shot immediately after RoaTF and Li Binghe is considered very beautiful.
Anyway, everyone has different preferences and opinions. There does not have to be a “we”. Based off watching PXR in other works, this is my opinion. Your opinion is also valid. As, I’ve already said, it’s okay if you don’t think Xiao Ran is good looking, bland, or has lost her charm. My opinion won’t change but I understand not everyone will feel the same way about her and that’s fine.
