In the novel, Cat Lord (Wu Zhen) and Snake Lord (Liu Tai Zhen) maintained order in the East and West supernatural markets (I think in a trailer they called it shadow market?) or demon city. The two markets of East and West under the night are worlds that belong to inhuman things, and ordinary people cannot see them, nor can they enter these two demon cities." In the novel, Cat Lord and Snake Lord each have two deputies. Cat Lord's assistants are Hu Zhu (fox spirit) and Wordless Book or a book spirit... I think it might be Wu ZhiShu? and for Snake Lord's two deputies, in the cast, I only see one of them, Ling Xiao (wisteria spirit).
They spent something like 28 straight days filming at night and by night, I mean they worked during their normal sleeping hours and slept during their normal working hours. It was not easy at first to stay awake, imagine after a month, they had to switch back to normal hours. I'm sure there was a few days of transition, probably a lot of yawning.
yes.. and that's what I'm looking for in Moonlit Reunion... more of that "haunting" feeling Xu Kai said the director keep playing this really eerie BGM when he was inside this dark space with only a candle - it harkened him back to GE
Wonder if this gonna be like 'fahai' monk in legend of white snake 😁Like all demons must be exterminated, or…
Moonlit Reunion skips the tired “priests vs. demons” and good-vs-evil tropes. Rooted in Taoist philosophy, it follows Wu Zhen (a half-demon) and Mei Zhu Yu (a Taoist priest) as they team up to maintain spiritual balance, confront specific threats, and fall in love. Instead of demon-hunting, it’s about coexistence, compassion, and romance—not a black-and-white battle between good and evil.

In TD, the other two directors may have directed specific scenes. Lu Hao Jiji is often cited first and is mentioned in promotional materials. He is definitely the lead director. One of supporting directors is closely associated with Yu Zheng and TD is a Y Zheng production. The other director, I don't know. There is a risk with Lu Hao Jiji, he's into abstract and arts, and he did an ending that I thought was very beautiful, but no one understood it, so Y Zheng shot 40.5 to make it very clear TD was HE. What impressed me is that the 2fl in TD credited the director for how he helped her to bring out her emotions, she didn't' think she could do it.
Have they start filming this? Wu Jin Yan backed from giving birth?
have you noticed how fit Wu Jinyan is and was during her pregnancy. I bet she practically back to normal the same week she gave birth. She used to be a professional ballerina and seems to be one who kept her fitness. I saw a video of her walking out of the hospital with her new baby. They started filming ceremony. It's great to see her, that 2nd ml from TD, and Zhang Nan working together (all from same agency). https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j0LIgTM0V-c?feature=share
Douban Synopsis of Jiangshan for Hire · · · · · · Adapted from the novel of the same name by Yanyan. Meng Tinghui, the first strange woman in the history of the Daping Dynasty to enter the Hanlin Academy with a female Jinshi degree. Ten years ago, she was rescued from the pile of dead by him, unkempt and slurred. Ten years later, she was full of knowledge and crowned everyone, and she was generous in the women's Jinshi subject, becoming a high-profile female official in the DPRK and China for more than 20 years. In the past few years, she has been promoted from a small sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor all the way to a councilor on an equal footing with many old ministers, and has been called a traitor by the court and the Chinese Qing Dynasty and does not care. That dragon throne was high, that man looked at the world, she willingly lay down under him, watching him consolidate the country, watching him raise the people, watching him govern the peace, and watching him step by step become the most powerful emperor in the history of the Daping Dynasty. He saved her back then, and now she repays him, even if it becomes a stepping stone for his lifelong imperial enterprise, she has no regrets, but she has done everything, but she has not calculated, in fact, he also loves her. One is a wise hero who enjoys the world's fame, and the other is a traitor who bears the infamy of the ages, and their love path is destined to be full of thorns.
I'm glad Xu Kai got to work under this director. It could mean future projects associated with him. He's the producer for a new project with Wu Jinyan as female lead.
Oh Wow, director Lu Hao Ji Ji is producer. This is his first as producer. I wonder if he will direct it too (Douban has director, Zhang Yanjie, but no info on him, maybe it's alias). and he's got the female lead and second male lead from his big hit The Double as the female lead and second male lead, respectively, here too, as well as Yu Zheng's other actors like Zhang Nan. This is one to watch for. He has been working back-to-back ever since The Double, after a decade hiatus.
"Ten years ago, she was rescued from a pile of dead bodies, unkempt and disheveled." In The Double, her husband buried her alive.
