They probably thought that the concurrence right now is too strong. There are too many historical dramas that…
I think, the only series of those mentioned "Beauty Hao Lan" would have to fear is "Ever Night", but as it seems, "The Longest Day in Chang'an" also seems to get ready for broadcast and as they are both hosted by Youku, they might send "The Longest Day..." off first.
I love how this post off mine sparked a discussion when all I was doing was sharing my personal feelings about…
I don't judge your character or person as I don't know you. I just judged your statement as one of those statements normally dropped by people who always nag. That's all.
Loved Leon Lai as the Beggar. His fight scene was a tragic highlight of the movie. Sadly, he didn't even get added to the cast... All in all I like "The Stand-in" better. The series picks up where the movie ends and it's not a Donnie Yen one man show but a fantastic performance of a great cast.
I don't quite understand, does early 20th century Hollywood even have music, or does Hollywood even exsist then?…
Hehe, yes! Those soundtracks were slightly different from the Hollywood scores of today, I agree. I stated a few days ago that I love how the opening of Ever Night reminds me of soundtracks written by Miklos Rozsa (a great movie composer for 'Quo Vadis', 'Ben Hur' and other stunning movies). I can't see anything wrong, if an epic drama series like Ever Night has an opening that sounds like an epic cult movie. The music they use in the episodes is Chinese enough to differ from Hollywood, so, I love the thing as a whole as it all fits together pretty well.

They already had great silent movies with great soundtracks played live in theatre by an orchestra. Actors like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolpho Valentino, Lillian Gash, Loiuse brooks and many more were great stars of that aera. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_American_films
This show. I have such mixed feeling about it. It’s good. BUT the shots and dialogue are sodamn cheesy. The…
Um, I don't know, if we're watching the same series. I think you mix Ever Night up with Ashes of Love or any other cheesy love stories. As for the soundtrack - I wonder where the trditional Chinese music comes from they use... Can't help, but I dare to claim you didn't even watch a single full episode and just thumbed through it and held the forward button pressed....

Alex, the 20th Century dates from 1901 to 2000. Rest assured, they had Hollywood back then, and Hollywood had great movies already in the early 20th century and they already had amazing film music back then! Try google, you'll be surprised...
This series had one single highlight: Dressed in white, a little bit arrogant, charismatic and gorgeous: Bai Shan Sadly, Wang Hai Xiang just had a guest appearance...
