Sssnoopyyy:
HUH? there are leaked scripts about XY having kids with all the guys? LOL ok if that's the case I really hope the leaked script about them changing the mastermind behind Jing's death is false
Those comments didn't mention the leaked script. I don't know where those comments were coming from but they sounded nothing like LYF. Another one just cropped up in the XL thread.
Kali_01:
I think s1 not much cgi was used?
I thought they used a ton of CGI? Every scene that happens on or below the water. A lot of the mountain scenes. A lot of the tree / flower scenes (e.g., CX making the peach blossoms grow for Ah Nian). Every scene with Chubby, TSJ's astral fox, tails from the nine-tailed foxes, and the Fei Fei.
Sssnoopyyy:
but that's main climax of the story. It would be a disservice to the novel if they change this
I agree.
Sssnoopyyy:
I guess they don't really need the whirlpool scene.
Chapter 43 is one of my favourites in the whole novel. I'd be very sad if it was cut, but I do think it's a very difficult chapter to translate to screen.
XY dons her wedding dress and is willing to die to be with TSJ, until she realizes what that would mean for the people she's left behind (specifically ZX). She sings her song for TSJ and reiterates her belief that somehow he will come back to her. She reunites with Left Ear (I love their relationship) and she has her last intimate moments with XL. It ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Sssnoopyyy:
But I did see a trailer or something where XL destroys the bug and says to XY that the connection has been lifted/severed.
Yep, that part is definitely still there. But without the essential blood kiss it seems.
Sssnoopyyy:
Regarding XY's scene with her mom, I think I heard Yang Zi talking about her experience filming that scene (think it was her last scene of filming?) where she cannot help but be emotional every time she thinks/sees that scene. Her tears just naturally fell. They don't have to drag it out but it was an important part of XY's closure and also Jing getting blessings from XY's actual parent to marry her.
Sounds promising. I'm glad TSJ is involved too.
