From the interview with F magazine:

F magazine: If your fans are confused or hesitant, what would you tell them?

Xiao Ran: Dare to dream and accept the power of fate. When you start to be afraid, it’s right to rush forward. Obstacles are often pre-set by yourself. After stepping over, you will find a new world and see a new scene.

The drama hasn’t aired yet…how can we know what the role is like🤔

And it’s Harper’s Bazaar again too! The last few sets of photos have been really amazing. It seems like there’s a photoshoot for every type of fan😂
I’m glad she’s found a way to stay in the public eye that works for her too. It’s a good way to fill in the gaps while waiting for the next role.

Yes, it would be that pairing. I learned about them because some netizens recommended a cameo pairing from Melody of a Golden Age and I was curious. 😂 I saw them mentioned again a few days ago and decided to go check them out again because it was said their storyline was moving but it looks tragic.

Actually it’s already been updated😅:

photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar (Hangzhou)

I wouldn’t worry. It just says public appearances but there’s probably lots going on behind the scenes.

No public schedule this month.

It might be how Google Translate translated the name but it should be Xie Xingzhi’s wife. I’ve not read the book but I’ve heard of this couple a few times in passing and so I’m curious as to who will play them, especially since it seems like they might be 30+ actors/actresses.

Really curious to see who plays Ke Jingzhen and Xie Xingzhi. It seems there’s also interest in their casting.

Seems like a 40 episode version might air in Taiwan. Wonder how that will change the story. 🤔A lot of what was cut had to do with character dynamics.

Actually, I think some might be Sisters Who Makes Waves resources.

Haha, so true. I have all this money I want spend on Xiao Ran but nowhere to spend it. I think I would buy every magazine 🥹I actually went to the Tom Ford counter to buy her lipstick but they aren’t selling it in my area yet…

It’s really good looking. I might join Instagram just to praise it and ask how buy it. I really want to own it😭.
I hope the team can keep it up. I I think they have been focusing exactly where they needed to be focused.

I don’t think there’s an animated version.

I feel this way too. I’ve seen a few people complain about the production quality over the years, especially as the show ages but considering people were celebrating its 7th anniversary a few days ago on Weibo and several post 2020 dramas and movies still reference and try to compare to it, I think it still holds up. The show does have imperfections but it felt quite good quality to me after seeing newer stuff-especially the outdoor shots of Western Regions. There are very few TV directors in C-ent that have Li Muge’s mastery of scenic shooting, particularly in how he world-builds and creates atmosphere with it. He also values and showcases the individual beauty of the cast. Xiao Feng’s costume and styling during the Xizhou arc are also a masterclass in effective costume design.

I hope if she does get a character like this again that they are showcased well. She’s so good at showing the mental state of a character, their growth and transformation but I feel like the editing always hampers the performance. Love and Crown has a lot of good moments and there’s definitely a transformation in Cangcang but there aren’t enough scenes of her journey. Outside of Love and Crown I feel like the last director who really captured her ability and charm was Wang Wei.

Nope.

I don’t think so although I’m surprised that the show didn’t use the hype of BR or even LaC to push itself more. Especially right after LaC, a good trailer would have attracted everyone heartbroken or disgruntled by Cangcang’s fate.

I’m not sure if Huanrui has been producing promotional material for other dramas lately but this drama’s promotion really needs to rely on quality over anything else. There are too many mediocre xianxia out and the leads are not traffic stars nor are they acting in their comfort zones so this show needs to convince viewers it will be worthwhile if it wants reservations. That is why I think it needs a good trailer. A good trailer will do more work than AI posters for every holiday. I’ve always felt like part of the success of Huamei was it had a really well done trailer. It was so well done, that even though it was only released a few weeks before the show aired, the show had good ratings from its first day.
