I feel like Lin Yi is more popular with international audiences than he is in China lol I wonder why?

I'm always curious who is in charge of post-production because the director is currently filming another drama.

probably the day before it's aired seeing how poor the promo has been for this lol

but hopefully IQIYI holds another conference this year and we'll get some trailers. they held one in May last year.

The producer said on weibo that the drama will meet audiences this year. I think it might air in Q4 (Oct to Dec). This is a “落地古偶” meaning that it's "grounded". scenes are filmed on live sets with minimal cgi so there's not as much post-production. also, another thing to note is that this drama is going to use live audio that was captured during filming. that will also shorten the post-production process since they won't need to re-dub. a lot of the shots that appeared in the wrap video looked very finished too so I wonder if they were editing as they go.

think it should be soon because I saw melons posting that the cast will be on Hello Saturday in March. that's usually signs that they're gearing up for promo

no. this character is nothing like xiao run. his character (cameo appearance) in fox spirit is similar to xiao run

The wrap up video exceeded all my expectations omg?? the cinematography y'all!! this is how you properly light a scene omg I swear so many cdrama directors do not know how to light a scene and rely on slapping a filter on in post-editing which is why some dramas look so flat visually

fast track package, it seems.

yeah which is why I don't get why cnets keep saying he's heavily pushed by iqiyi. his dramas that were aired last year were A-tier budget wise and were dropped without warning. usually dramas the platform wants to push will be released in either New Years or Summer break.

IQIYI always planned for this to air in Q1. I think as soon as they get the broadcast license, they'll air this.

the budget is supposedly S tier but the marketing feels like B tier. There's virtually zero promo. Not even posters on holidays.

has anyone read the novel? the synopsis sounds very basic. I'm wondering how they can stretch that into 30+ episodes.

I feel like that would be too good to be true lol July is the most coveted summer slot. Platforms usually leave that slot to dramas with traffic stars. If true, maybe it bodes well for the quality of the drama..

tbh I have a feeling it will be edited down heavily like showing them kiss and then fade to candle lol

they've been filming bed & bath (??) scenes these past few days. I didn't know this drama was this risque lol anyways it seems like filming will wrap on the 7th because ZJM is flying out of Hengdian on the 9th

also, this drama apparently has a light comedic tone which I also wasn't expecting. someone who visited the set said the tone of the drama was similar to The Romance of Tiger and Rose (the Zhao Lusi drama)

bruh the third part just started filming.. it will take at least April for it to finish. even part 2 can air if they wait that long

might have to wait until the next IQIYI conference. iirc last year they held one in early May.

yep. Chinese new year break. everyone gets a week off so it's usually a very good time to drop big budget dramas.

apparently he's going to do a variety show before his modern drama starts filming. one thing about his company is that they never let their actors rest. I looked at Li Yi Tong's schedule (she's in the same company as him) and she is always going from set to set with no rest in between.

tbh I think she is veryy overrated. DFQC is her magnum opus and she got a lot of hype because of that drama but when you re-watch that drama, you'lll notice everyone else was styled terribly lol ChangHeng and all the other gods had outfits that made them look pregnant lol and now she basically just copy & pastes her designs.
