I really hate this poster. It is not even official poster from drama's crew and just some AI concept poster for iqiyi to say yep this is our dramaππ€¦π»ββοΈ
The summery is wrong and belongs to novel. Even drama will be 30 eps not 36...
Can someone change it? I request it but they refused to do it
Translated full interview with director Gordon (Chen Jiashang) about the series #ι£ζδΈηΈε ³ (1/2)#DengWei…
π¬ We get along really well. After filming, he would come and sit next to my tent. A few of us would watch the others perform, and we would talk about things. We got along really well.
βΏ» Differences in works and memorable scenes
π¬ Have you watched Deng Wei's other works before? Which of Deng Wei's camera angles did the director show?
π¬ In the past, he has only acted in period dramas? This type of drama has its own unique format. This time, I am trying to break through these.
π¬ That day, I talked with my friends at iQIYI. I hope to present you a unique period drama. I tried my best. Until now, I am still a bit surprised. My friends who have watched the preview again said to me, "It's really fun. I didn't expect it to be like this." I hope you feel the same way. It's not something you usually see. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
π¬ The director said this, so I want to watch it now. Then why did you choose Wan Da to play?
π¬ For Wan Da, when we were going to cast her, the team told me, "There's a girl." Because at that time, we actually selected many actresses. Many of them were very talented. But for Wan Da, she was young and didn't think much. But there was one point that I thought was very important. She is Wong Kar-wai's actress.
π¬ So I thought, why did Wong Kar-wai choose her? You know Wong Kar-wai doesn't have many actors in his arsenal, right? So I thought, I have to take this girl. You know Wong Kar-wai doesn't keep anything that's worthless. She must be very talented.
π¬ When I met her and talked to her, I learned about her past. She's not an ordinary girl. Her growth is different from other people. She tried harder than others. She has many talents, but at the same time, she's very pure. This kind of pureness is very rare. That's why I chose her.
π¬ And when they acted together, you'd understand that we made the right choice. I said from the first day, 'It's the right choice.' I was very happy.
π¬ That feeling is hard to explain. Because every time you choose an actor, it's like a chemistry test to see if they'll get along. And when it's right, it's right. You yourself will be like... Oh... What if it doesn't? What about the next 30 episodes? So I felt very good about choosing these two. I was very confident. And when they acted together, the chemistry was very good. It was a really great feeling.
π¬ And when we were on set, Have you ever "fallen in love with their chemistry"?
π¬ Very often, very often.
π¬ Can you tell us some fun stories on set?
π¬ Wan Da entered the set as Guan Qing Yue, so I told her what you guys went through today. This is what you have to face today. They quickly got into character.
π¬ At first, everyone was still quite nervous, but by now, everyone was looking forward to, "What will happen to me today?" and they were playing happily. I think this is what makes my set different from others.
π¬ Every day, whether it's the actors or myself, there are always surprises because I give everyone a chance to show off and express themselves freely in some scenes. So, every day on set for me is really 'fun'.
π¬ Can you tell us any surprise scenes or little things on set?
π¬ I remember the first time I filmed their kiss scene, I was so excited. Wan Da said that she had never filmed a scene like this before. Deng Wei was also excited, asking me, "Director, how do we shoot this?" I said, "There's no way. Just shoot it! You like her, so you have to kiss her. Don't think too much. Don't think too much."
π¬ Then, after one or two takes, another cameraman said that this scene was very important, and asked to shoot other angles. So, we shot maybe 5 angles. In the end, Deng Wei said, "I'm starting to get tired." But Wan Da said, "I'm not excited anymore." (laughs)
π¬ Actually, as a director, I think the first few takes were the best. The later takes were just to get more angles. But what was fun was that at first, both of them were still shy and excited, but later on, it was like, "Come on, come on, kiss me!" The atmosphere was really fun.
Translated full interview with director Gordon (Chen Jiashang) about the series #ι£ζδΈηΈε ³ (1/2)
#DengWei #ιδΈΊ #TheDaysOfSeclusionAndLove
π¬ I want to know what this series is about. What are its highlights?
π¬ ι£ζδΈηΈε ³ is a story about a down-and-out prince. He was sent to the border since he was a child. He didn't have much hope for the future. But then he met the daughter of the general, which gave him the fire to fight again. Therefore, the love and conflict between the two continue throughout the story. But this prince still has to seek revenge and hopes to help this young woman find her goal.
π¬ It sounds like a prince seeking revenge, right?
π¬ It's actually a story about two people's revenge.
π¬ How is this work different and challenging compared to the director's past works?
π¬ For me, this is a great challenge. Because this is the first time I've actually directed a TV drama. I always say that I've shot countless movies, but this is my first time with a TV drama.
π¬ The way TV dramas are expressed is very different from movies. Let's compare it to running a 100-meter dash and a marathon. A runner who is used to running a 100-meter dash has to adjust his mindset a lot when he runs a marathon. This is a challenge for me, but it's also very fun. Because in a movie, I only have about 120 minutes, or at most 300 minutes, but my TV drama has 30 episodes. I can take my time telling the story and developing the characters for a long time.
π¬ This process is great. And I hope the audience feels the same way I do about following these characters. Because every day, I create characters that the audience loves and record their interactions. That's it.
π¬ Do you usually watch period dramas? How do you think you can present a period drama in a unique way with this one?
π¬ I always say that my dramas are different from other directors'. I have my own way of dealing with characters. For example, I often say that my actors never 'act' but let them 'live'. I let the actors enter the state of their lives and their personalities clash.
π¬ So the actors in my dramas often have real feelings and their own feelings. This is what I hope to convey to the audience.
π¬ They are not playing someone else, but they are really that character. This is a big difference, and I am very happy until now to convey their feelings every day. Wow, it is really different from the way we have filmed dramas.
βΏ» Casting and chemistry
π¬ Then why did the director choose Deng Wei to play this role?
π¬ I was quite surprised. Since I heard that we had Deng Wei, I thought it was untrue. 'Is it possible? Is he really coming?' Until the first day I met him, there were a lot of rumors, about famous actors and things like that. But when you see Deng Wei, you know that he is 'Ying Gezi'. He comes with a certain freedom and drive. This driving force is what Ying Gezi must have.
π¬ Ying Gezi has a complex identity. His past is 'Yin Chen Bi'. He changed his status from a crown prince to a downtrodden prince. Can a young person control this status? But when I saw him and talked to him for a while, I knew that he could play this role very well. So I think this is fate.
π¬ I can talk to Deng Wei smoothly and we get along very well. I am very happy to talk about everything, whether it is small or big. But in fact, these things affect his performance, what kind of attitude he will show. I am very happy and have received very good returns so far.
π¬ What do you think, director, is Deng Wei similar to this character?
π¬ I think what Deng Wei is most similar to Ying Gezi is 'kindness'. He is a very sensitive person and always cares about others. I think this Ying Gezi, even though he has the status of a crown prince or a prince, always takes care of the people around him. Although he looks cold on the outside, he is very warm on the inside. I think this is one of Deng Wei's special qualities. When you see him, he usually looks cool, but he actually cares about others.
Director cleared up all misunderstanding about casting FL, he said there was a lot actress to choose but Wang Kar wai recommended her and he saw her potential so she was selected as FL actress.
Their nonsense about people refuse to play in this drama was completely lie and rumor π
βActually, I was quite surprised. From the moment I found out that Deng Wei was joining, I thought it was a joke. Hahaha. Like, really? Is he really coming? Until the day I first met him, there were a lot of rumors that popular actors were like this and that. But when you meet Deng Wei, you will immediately know that he is really Ying Gezi. He comes with his own identity and also has a certain driving force. This is the kind of force that Ying Gezi must have. Ying Geziβs identity is very complicated. He used to be Ying Chenbi, which means he changed his status from a crown prince to a prince in misery. Can a young man like this be able to control or handle this role? But after I met him and talked to him for a while, I knew that he could play this role very well. So I felt that this must be destiny. I talked to Deng Wei very intimately and happily. Every day, we talked about everything. But in the end, all of this affected his acting and what kind of attitude he would use to act. I am very glad to have met Wei Zhi. Up until now, I have learned and gained a lot of experience.β
π¬ What do you think Deng Wei is similar to this character?
βI think the best thing about Deng Wei is his kindness. He is a very sensitive and caring person. I think even though Ying Gezi is a crown prince or a royal descendant, he actually cares a lot about the people around him. He may look cold on the outside, but he is very warm on the inside. Well, I think this is one of Deng Weiβs characteristics. You often see him as a cool and cool person, but he is actually a very caring person.β
π¬ When he was on set, he cared about everyone, right?
βWe are very close. Every time after filming, they would come and sit in the tent next to me. The many of us looked like we were acting, but in fact, we talked and exchanged ideas about many things. We got along very well.β
π¬ Have you watched Deng Weiβs other works before? How do you think you could show different sides of Deng Wei if you filmed with your camera angle?
βOh, he has always acted in historical idol/romance dramas, right? Historical idol dramas are also a type of drama where the characters or content are often similar. Actually, this time I want to break through these things. That day, I talked to my friends at iQIYI and said that I hoped to present them with a different historical idol drama. I felt very overwhelmed. I tried my best, but when I saw Wei Zi, I was still a little surprised. My friends who had watched the teaser said to me, 'Aiya! It looks so good. I never thought there would be something like this.' I just hope that you guys will feel the same way, that it's not something you usually see. Otherwise, my hard work would be in vain.
Is Li Vanda back filming? I am getting really depress over everything now regarding the production of this drama.
There is nothing wrong. They are filming normally some times they have break ups that is most normal and professional thing to do in this hot weather and there is no problem in crew either.
This is movie crew. They are different from drama crews and this kind of crew always announce anything in end of the completing filming project. Also it is not strange. I saw a lot of drama's with same condition and most of them was were from Iqiyi.
There is nothing to worry about. Wei wei is working fine and reservation opend globally too.
Drama opend reservation in Iqiyi mainland and here there is new synopsis of drama:
He used her as bait, and she infiltrated his camp.
This carefully planned encounter slowly changes as the two begin to see the true hearts hidden beneath each other's masks.
But a sudden shocking event shattered all trust and hope. She fell from her dream into the abyss and disappeared ever since.
Years later, he travels to another country to investigate the truth of an old case from the past. Amidst the sharp swords in a foreign land, he meets a woman with beauty as her weapon, eyes that hide sharp blades, and an extremely mysterious identity.
Amidst lies and pretense, past feelings and present dangers gradually intertwine. They join hands to ignite a storm that could topple the earth.
When tyrants are eliminated, injustices are cleansed, but in the end, what awaits them is whether they will grow old together or be separated forever?
This people are really nuts. FL's character upgraded from week person to powerful girl and they say she is stealing…
I'm just saying exact words some black fans trying to say. They are like FL have new customers so she is trying to stead the showπππ
They want her week and unlikeable so people have complete focus on ML which is absurd. We need good drama not fan camera.
As screen writing things are unclear until drama airs. Core of series mabey it is same but there will be so much changes and let me tell you, most of them are Deng wei's idea. They were preparing for this drama near by a year and it was actually planned to film in Nov 2025 but in last screen reading our boy, again suggested new ideas that made them to look at screen writing again and write more. So it postponedπ
The summery is wrong and belongs to novel. Even drama will be 30 eps not 36...
Can someone change it? I request it but they refused to do it
