Have you ever seen cartoon characters race for the finish? Basically like that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fighting? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? I just don't like fake news is all. CCP was trying to implement under 50 episode rule not 40. If you know they're not taking it seriously, why bother to mention it at all? Create a topic of discussion and go there; not required in comment section.

7 something hours till the end of this mess and while I do love many of y'all but I don't think I've ever wanted to leave a drama this far behind before. You'd think the thing was covid, yeesh!

This had romance on the side and delusion full blast lol.

Chen Qing Ling aka The Untamed. I don't say this often but that series could have won multiple Oscars.

I'll disagree; my darkest fiction has a lot of romance in it. It all depends on what's written and how. And whether of course it passes their review. Money does speak louder especially living in a socialist country where your soul is worth less then RMB. But those of us novelists who care about our work/stories...when you put that much effort in....money means less then quality work. But I guess I have a soul and know the value of my work.

This has literally zilch to do with this drama. A million episodes can't fix this mess.

This guideline has been in place last year but their own review board doesn't follow it; look at ELOD for an example. TU less fully stipulated by their government agency, treat all as just whatever. Remember, many ppl will believe anything you write so therefore, make sure you have it from their government agency that's actually taken into account. I don't say this lightly.

Yep exactly. And my heart hurts for them. If only they were allowed to adapt more works from internet novelists beyond their stupid Great Wall, they would have many ppl working. There are so many amazing international novelists that would fit within their scope but because of their own "security" bullshit, they can't read good work by whomever. China, though abundant with ppl doesn't have too many novelists or authors willing to put effort into creating characters for these ppl.

That's fake news. Please don't spread false news. There are dramas coming out next year with over 50 episodes. While they prefer to keep it under 50; that's not always the case. Unless theres an official announcement by their government that says anything to what you have said, plz don't assume. Qing Lang isn't limiting to 40 either.

I've followed him since CQL. He's a good actor and deserves quality work. I saw 2 sisters in the Chaos too and his and his SFL's arch were way better then both leads. I've spoken to a netizen who said that they don't have enough good scripts to go around. I saw your comment previously and though I didn't reply, I do agree that good actors need better scripts and the best way is for novelists to write scripts themselves. I've done it before; it's tedious and a pain in the ass but a ton better then having some nut job do a half assed job like here or what was done to Princess Agents.

Nope not me. I've never seen JOL. I'm an XZ fan but that one didn't speak to me.

I am not kidding when I've said in multiple comments, I'd fail the screenwriter if she submitted this work to me in class. I don't brag/advertise it in the slightest but I have friends in Hollywood who are screenwriters and I've read one script currently being made into a film. I'm a novelist/screenwriter (though only by hobby) myself so I don't say this lightly, I'm very strict when it comes to screenwriters and the one here must have been on weed or something because this is a mess of proportions I've never seen before. I feel very bad for the author. I'd never sell the rights to any of my novels (and I actually want to turn one of them at least into a film someday); I heard from a netizen that there aren't many good scripts around. Well no shit! If the novelist doesn't write their own script, but just sells their rights it's going to be adapted by some inexperienced shmuck into a mess like this!

I actually watched this destruction for the actor and I follow him; didn't realize they'd make him the main nutcase! I still love the actor but dude, pick and choose your roles next time, holy crap!

Screw selective filtering! Just blow his ass to bits!

Omg I want him to get bitten by snakes and then have his balls explode followed by his head. His character is the most delusional out of the entire bunch. 🤮

How can you forget him when he's like the main asshat.

Finale 10 minutes of a happy ending and some dumbass redemption arc even for ZX. 🤮

Yes very much.
