š¤: today, i met a young actress named chen duling. her resume said she had no formal acting training, but after watching her audition, i thought she showed real promise. sheās only been in the industry for a few years, yet sheās already appeared in quite a few productions. she struck me as a young actress with a remarkable instinct for acting.
every time the directing team sends over a casting shortlist, there are always several young actresses recommended, but few of their audition clips leave much of an impression. todayās audition, however, genuinely moved me. it seems the saying āonly when an actor truly immerses themselves in the role can they reach the audienceās heartā rings true. perhaps itās worth giving this young actress a chance.
I randomly picked up The Glory a few weeks ago. The same director, but the plot still holds up until the end.…
yesss she has too many iconic fits to choose from. i honestly really love the stylist's choice to add flowy hair ribbons in the earlier episodes <3 that small touch adds so much to hanyan's character design. it's girlish in the best way

totally agree, the director+screenwriter synergy is what makes or breaks a drama!!
and YES the glory was just an A-level prod that yielded S+ results š„¹ that's why i have such a soft spot for it as dudu's breakout drama. the major upside we got was that the team wasn't limited by Capitalists so they got creative with their budget haha i LOVE ming dynasty costumes and the glory did a great job (one of my favourite zhuang hanyan outfits was even on display at the nanjing museum https://x.com/duduling1018/status/1881003425066053740 āØ)
i also really wish they released more content š i have major beef with the marketing team for both the glory and ATC lmao

lol oh god reading your comment made me remember how much i complained to my friend about it the entire time i was watching. i really think now that it was cao xiaotian who had the vision and ability (in thanks to the production being low budget so tencent dgaf hahaha) to pull YL back from his forced cp moments because at least CXT was dedicated to the female-led narrative :-/ meanwhile in ATC, YL and LM just fed off on each other's corny ideas...
YL's great at the bigger picture moments (group shots, sets, visual motifs, etc) but character work is really where his directorial eye fails
i won't be checking out his future works but i wish u the best š zhou mo at least seems to be a more decent screenwriter compared to li min
š¤: who gets what itās like to duo lane with dudu!? sheās seriously unbelievably gorgeousāshe looks a thousand, no, ten thousand times more beautiful than her photos online! and sheās incredibly good at the game too! anyone who plays can tell from her livestream gameplay and stats that she mustāve put in a ton of practice behind the scenes! her in-game communication and teamwork are also really, really great! who says thereās no such thing as a perfect person? isnāt she right here? š„¹š„¹š„¹
i only had time to watch the first ep but i'm really looking forward to catching up hehe. it's been so long since i watched a WJY drama (and wow there's quite a few familiar faces in the cast ƶ)
