same same it was really off putting. My mind just disconnected and my eyes rolled again.

Because these scenes are all battle related ones. When it is scenes with specific characters or types and you feel it choppy, it is mostly due to the cinematography decisions/issues. An editor wouldn't make these "mistakes" if they had more tape as per their work since the beginning of the drama.

True, but you can tell it was not an edit issue. When you see these types of scenes playing like that, it's because the editing team didn't have much proper film tape for those scenes to make good transitions.

If we had more than 40 episodes, we'll have tones of fillers scenes. And a bigger chunk of the budget will only go to the top of the pyramid instead to the quality of the drama. That's why they made these rules.

Whatever makes you feel better.
And yes, the "battle" happening now, it is due partly to people like you. You need the creator, the pirate and the piracy consumers. You are the latter. It was since the days you can record anything with a VHS or a cassette and share it. How do you think we got piracy laws and such? Participating in for whatever reason it doesn't exclude you from it or give you the right to say "they" are the ones that have that issue. Because you have the choice of not participating in it.

Getting a drama of this quality, everyone involved in it deserve every yuan. It's their right. And making money is not just putting it in the pocket of the rich:
- Used for future investments in the entertainment and digital industry quality.
- Paying all the huge expensive marketing.
- Getting better equipments and props.
- Paying training to upskill the workers.
- Paying the salary workers who are just like you.
- Paying back the investers who helped started the project.
- (....)
And they have to do that in a corruptive society.

If you have learned from doing the mistake of trying to excuse yourself with financial reasons and getting validation and comfort, you would have deleted all your comments and the replies.

Let's not get give him internal injuries too! lmaooo

The scenes about teaching Changyu are the funniest so far in the drama for me. OMG Please send help from XZ!

This ^^ - You are right on it.

You made me realized that 5 BIG plateforms are losing money. You imagine?!

I am so used to them being in a tent that hearing the sound "closing door" when pissed off XZ leave her room at the beginning of ep 31, I literally jumped irl! Lmao! That's a first in my life...

Don't worry the production is for sure on it to get back at that person and the money they lost. I hope they will make the process public! Because when these things happen they almost never publicize it.

Armory is pretty complex. But put simply, most warriors gears are not heavy armor. They are mid-light armors made with mostly thin metal plating, leather and cloth padding. They only wear a chest plate, helmet and wrist gardes. usually only generals get to wear a full armor, because it's way more expensive and to protect them better. That's why you see an attacker aiming more where there is less or no armor on the body. Like the joins of the body, elbows, back of the knees, necks and so on. To stop the most ancient weapons, you will probbaly need a general armor with thight iron plates EVERYWHERE in your body. But the problem with that it is hard and heavy to move with it.

Won't be surprised if a person sold it for money and then the buyer just send it the others.

It's not the fault of the plateforms (except if the leaker works for them), it is the leaker that needs to be sued. The productions and plateforms due sue the criminals mostly to get back their money, stop future issues and teach these people a lesson.
Leakers can be hackers, scammers. insiders, opportunist, etc...
Some do it for revenge, profit, boycott, notoriety, etc...

Mostly depends when it gets leaked, if the show is popular or not and the content of the distrution contract. It is pretty complex, but here are the main points:

-If it gets leaked in the beginning it's reallly bad no matter the popularity, they lose alotttttt of generating engagement and money.
- If the show is not that popular no matter when it happens, it loses alot of their earnings.
- Depending on the distribution contract, they can make most of their money there plus a percentage.
In case of Pursuit of jade, it's not "that bad" because they made their money, engagement and wayyyy more. It's more a disrespectful thing to do towards the production team and such at this point.

Yup, I am not going to social media for a whole week. Not safe!

During script adaptation, they had to take into account the government censorships to make sure it will pass it. They even had to reshoot some scenes, used AI or completely removed them for approval. The rest, whatever you say.

I did not. I just meant the drama was censored from the novel and that of course it's still a great adaptation to MariaB comment. They didn't just censored the hot scenes, but the behavior of a couple of characters too.

True story

Then you should read more in the mdl comments and see for yourself. Not everyone are genuinely discussing the plot with a critical eye in these. That's why I decided to write that.

Yes, they did and do. A google search will show you that. And they are powerful as a whole. His fan economy alone generates more than 1 trillion yuan per year in the industry. The reading about how they go about it is very interesting.
