Full interview and director's one => Link above....:)
yesterday's yj trend is ? and again, im grateful for this director's acknowledgement of DW as Jing & Shiqi (^_^)
Romans_Revenge
He understood the assignment & fulfilled it. Didn’t he also say when he got the script,he read the novel in order to perfectly portray TSJ? I’m glad Xu Kai & yang yang declined the role cos they wouldn’t have fit the character at all. Deng Wei didn’t even audition,he got the script,read the story & immersed himself into TSJ, in which you could feel his emotions.
-even book fans of Jing appreciated his effort, im always glad and thankful he got the role and played it well, for me, he's the one and only one for Jing & Shiqi ^_^ XK and YY are well established actors themselves, this role i think was destined for someone else to be discovered ☺️

couldn't agree more (^.^)
Winny Aye:Last time when she walked around Ying Zhou Island, was when she was still a child. which is very different from the now Ying Zhou Island. At that time was only it was inhabited by the Divine Clan. It was beautiful but lifeless. Now there were many human races living there. Sometimes the demon tribes roaming around could be seen. It was very lively, and everyone lived peacefully and contentedly. Therefore, gestures and actions were naturally well-behaved and beautiful.
Xiao Yao couldn't help to be proud of her father. After returning, it may be because she has grown up. She could sense that Father was unhappy, but Father said that he used everything he had in exchange for everything he wanted. This must be what Father wanted. Xiao Yao saw a set of women's storage coral boxes. From small to large, there are about twelve pieces in total. Small box Can be used to put flour cinnabar and eyebrow powder. The large size can be used to hold barrettes and accessories.
