WJY only had 11 scripts to pick from last year.

Censor Mei was his role. Zhu Zanji so jealous and temperamental. How many times did he throw things when he gets mad. he threw all those books and Zijin says what you did was not throw these books but what a woman would do for a man she cares about (something like that) then she says I adore you. and leaves. The crown prince stands here in shock. "What did she just say?" Eunuch says "she adores you", CP: "No before that". go get her back otherwise, don't come back (how many times has he said that). He almost threw something when he got jealous. He did throw something when Zjin didn't talk for months. The ending is so sad when Enunch betrays him and what he has to do to him. The relationship between Zhu Zanji and Zijin there are some similarities to ABAY in their conflict. Zijin said she wanted to be equal with him. It took me a while to finally understand their conflict because I think some scenes got cut but I found a lot of great back and forth comments in You Tube that helped me understand why they have all these conflicts with each other. The actor who played Chen Wu (Zhu Zanji's other enunch) is also handsome. RF production is so beautiful.

Ep 1, Scene 1 of HT: "I'm here to protect you. Of course, I trust you, but if the chairman sees this... "

This is how Xu Kai got this role?
"Tencent approach Yang Mi for a project. And Yang Mi discusses with Yu Zheng about the project she got, and she wanted to propose Xu Kai as the main lead. So, she asked Yu Zheng's opinion about it. Yu Zheng communicated with Tencent and succeeded in the project with Xu Kai inside."

" Wang Lu proved that a handsome guy could do comedy. The role had been rejected by many other actors!"

"AMA was a touch given by Xu Kai. Yu Zheng said that his vision of Gu Yan Zhen was different, and he was impressed with what Kai did!"

Yu Zheng, his own agency, did not recommend the role to Xu Kai either. I recall seeing an old interview, Xu Kai said he was told not to take this role, but he read the script and asked if he could try out and got the role.

If WJY had paired with XK right away on the next project, with the right script, that's better than pairing with that older actor Nie Yuan. WJY was very kind to XK when he was brand new to the business. Before The Double aired (and also Yang Mi's drama), Xu kai especially gave a shout out to his fans to watch those two dramas. I notice WJY is in The Great Escape with Xu Kai.

Last year, Yu Zheng said in a livestream that WJY only has 11 scripts to choose from!

Han Ting’s business style is ruthless and shows no mercy (“Find me a man, I’ll find you a crime”). This helps him beat the competition and stay on top, often creating a tense and high-stakes environment. Driven by his pledge to double the stock price in two years, he becomes even more ruthless, making decisive changes such as overhauling entire management teams to serve his purposes. However, he treats good and loyal people with fairness and respect. On the other hand, Ji Xing prefers to build relationships and find win-win solutions, which can lead to long-term success, a good reputation, and stronger alliances.

Zoomed close-ups can be incredibly powerful, especially when used with actors who have expressive faces and can convey a lot of emotion through their eyes. It’s a technique that, when done well, can draw viewers deeper into the character’s emotional state and make intense moments even more impactful. Not every actor can pull off this technique as effectively, which is why it can sometimes be hit or miss. But when it works, it can be mesmerizing and add a lot to the storytelling. For actors like SYR, his ability to “speak with his eyes,” and Princess WN’s intense expressions make close-ups particularly effective. The subtle nuances in their expressions can convey complex emotions, making the audience feel more connected to the characters. The split-second close-up during sudden, intense moments can be mesmerizing. Rapid zooms can build tension and suspense, adding a unique flair to the storytelling. It's simply a part of the director’s stylistic signature. It's nice to see something different than the usual style.

if you think about the title "The Double", it has a nice ring to it. Good Title.

I've not seen any promotional videos that has WJY and Nie Yuan together for Yanxi promotion, only WJY and XK.

Wang Xingyue and Zhou Ye are both under Yu Zheng. I was surprised that Yu Zheng had WXY in supporting roles his first two years given that he already had many performances in acting academy which he graduated by the time he was 18 and can act.

If you listen to XK interviews, he's very grounded person. He only competing with himself.

dream on

Yu Zheng did not ride the coattail of Yanxi Palace for WJY. He waited four years later for XK and WJY to pair up on Royal Feast. You'd think she gave him such a big hit with Yanxi, he'd pair her up with Xu Kai right away. Happy for WJY with her success in The Double. Her next drama with Liu Xue Yi should be great too.

she's a good actress.

XK and WJY have only starred in one drama together as the ml and fl.
BL is the only actress with whom XK has starred in two dramas as both the ml and fl.

XK has starred as ml with 15 fl in 6 years. Imo, ABAY and WOL had the most natural chemistry both on screen and off screen. My favorite in terms of acting of the 15 fl are ZDY and TSY.

VLinkage 8/25/24, Han Ting, #10, after 54 days

English translations that I pick up from Chinese dramas, "muddle headed" and "dotard".

My second watch, I became more aware of HT's expressions after the breakup. It matches the mood. It carried into his speech.
