right? I donโt know about everyone else but all my theories were so wrong ๐๐ I still remember being so…
Okay that is mindblowing theory! I need time to absorp it๐ but it is possible that he already play the game/enter the system before Xiao MingMing entered. Because why MingMing can accessed to LiNan private storage, he must have forget and still open after he played the last time. Because games especially virtual reality version must have really big size, so they must have main frame computer to storage it. And other programmer can access to it. Since LiNan is cheapskate, he must have storage the spionage datas (that also big in size) on the main frame computer. So the process kinda like Sancai to Xiao MingMing. Maybe Kaiyan is the cheats that Li Nan created,but more developed because he spend some time already into the games. And actually Xiao MingMing cheats changed Qiushui life. I remember his mom said at child he was talented and seriously studying martial art but somehow got sidetrack. It is because little Qiushui find his new sister๐ he spend his teenage time (the productive age to study) to go to the forest to find medicine and flowers for his new found sister who gravely ill at the time. Okay my theory, i thought it is because Qiushui and Xiao MingMing has unique compatible soul, so they can easily merged. While Li Nan and Kaiyan, is more to manipulator to low esteem prey relationship, cult leader to his follower kind ๐ so it is not compatible.
Shared by the concept film director, ChengYi used real fire to hold in his hands. He said "i have loved playing with fire since I was a child. I have done more dangerous things in filming. This is nothing." Wowwwww okayyyy!!! SO COOL!!!! ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐ but he did also used real fire for his sword in Sword and Beloved, so it is not surprising ๐๐๐ Concept video for the drama : https://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:5223810597847065
Update : ChengYi on stage for the opening ceremony of Two Capitals Fifteen Days, with main producer from IQIYI and Strawbear, and and author of the novel Ma Bo Yong, also official from Radio and Television, our big male lead crown prince Zhu Zhanji, hope filming goes well and successfully air!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ http://xhslink.com/o/9sAW1gVLJnd https://m.weibo.cn/status/5223835222936230?jumpfrom=weibocom#&gid=1&pid=1
right? I donโt know about everyone else but all my theories were so wrong ๐๐ I still remember being so…
I also didnt believe jealousy would drive people mad, but art imitated life, we really do find that crazy man exist in real life. The drama is really 4D experience๐ I also wondered why Xiao MingMing cant meet with Qiushui in the system realm? I mean LiNan and Kaiyan can meet. What your theory on this?
right? I donโt know about everyone else but all my theories were so wrong ๐๐ I still remember being so…
Yes me too. I feel people tend to taken for granted good people and their demand for them double. But Xiao Ming Ming didnt immediately become hero. From modern people who only think the people inside the game are not real, and he just want to get out quickly by doing the task, then living Qiushui's life, grew attached to Xiao family (mom and dad really super sweet, they both love him in their own way, he is an orphan so to finally have a warm family again is dream come true). His belief in chivalry grew stronger because of the people he met. It is not everyday you meet people who die for saving you, it is rare in our world. And he is really genuinely sweet caring person and a man with principle, lead by example, because he sacrifice his life to reveal the bad people deed and save people life, just because it is the right thing to do and to protect the people he love. He never force them, he respect their free will. Like for his sister, he knew she was force to married but since she said she is willing, all he could do is to protect her until she herself want to get out from the marriage. And also with general Wu, he respect his decision to sacrifice himself to proof his loyalty to the emperor, but once he is in danger, he come to rescue him. And Li Chenzhou, he questioned him why he still want to support the emperor eventhough he poisoned him, for modern people like us, we only support good leader. But since he is willing to proof his loyalty, so he respect his decision. And that is also the reason why he want to cooperate with him later (although that scenes was cut). And those people who transfered their energy to him, it is because he is trustworthy to inherit them, even that 8 masters, if he is just some random guy who happened to meet them, they gonna ignore him and continue fighting till they died. They valued their martial art skills so much (that is the reason they are fighting all those years) so the inheritor must be someone trustworthy to continue their legacy, to proof who is the best among them. He united Shaolin and Wudang not by force (like Crazy Yan want to do) but because he show them if they collaborate the force will be stronger. So he is really a good leader and kind man. So i still feel sad whenever i remember him๐คง๐คง๐คง

right? I donโt know about everyone else but all my theories were so wrong ๐๐ I still remember being so…
Yes i got trick by this too bcause we havent see their bodies yet. He already Qi-possessed at the time, but when he killed his mother and father too, his conscience really gone by that, no longer has human empathy. I think Qiushui want to torture him for the last time, when his mind turned clear and remembering what evil deed he has done. Such a contrast to what his vision are๐ Yes i also disgusted by what he did to his sister!
Aaahhh tomorrow we have preview MV OST for the drama! ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ChengYi also sing in one of them, "What's There to Fear." The MV will be previewed at 12.01. Cant wait!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I saw a poster titled the drama with "The Sword"๐ฅฒ nooooo Sword and beloved better cdrama english titles…
That only promotion material for China New Works Promotion Conference at Cannes. But so far no change in IQIYI apps. Maybe blame the ppt guy who translate the title to that๐
I missed Cheng Yi working in a romantic drama. It's been a long time tbh.. I even rewatched LAR, Immortal Samsara,…
Then watch Sword and Beloved later๐ while waiting, you could also see Draw The Line and Imperial Age(eps1-9), the bickering is funny and have future father-in-law who is normal ๐๐๐
4 set of people are fighting with 4 others. Then they get tired and the ML comes and asks the one with monks if…
OMG you are on point! ๐๐๐ but the question is does he want to change the protagonist journey? I think if he is given the change to reset, he may not want to chance the ending. But us the viewer, if i get the chance to reset it, i will help change his ending because i want Qiushui to be alive after all his hardworks๐คง๐คง๐คง๐คง
right? I donโt know about everyone else but all my theories were so wrong ๐๐ I still remember being so…
Haha tht shoulder pat prince๐ ๐๐ i think it is because of his weird smile๐ i still cant believe 2nd bro did that, he is really psycho! ๐คฌ i think the reason he delaying circling his parents name is because he is on denial. Then after he finally saw their parents bodies brought back home, he finally circling it. I thought his parents maybe still alive because they are more valuable as hostages. But alas,,, ๐ฎโ๐จ
Today live link of People's Daily interview : https://weibo.com/2803301701/5222456834924387 Recording https://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:5222482140135433 He was asked the new drama has 3 characters, how to differrentiate them. He compares characters to "flowers," believing that "living characters, like flowers, each have their own way of blooming," and that each character has a different growth rhythm and blossoming posture. He stated that when approaching a new role, he doesn't rush into "acting," but rather, like observing a flower's journey from bud to bloom, carefully experiencing the character's growth trajectory, giving it time to take root, sprout, and blossom within him. I cant say which one is good, i leave it to the audiences to judge. Previous drama Mysterious Lotus Casebook, is also wuxia drama, Are there any differences in how you handle these two similar roles? And are you worried about falling into the dilemma of homogenized performance? Performance dilemma. He said, as for the young heroes, since the martial arts world is always full of talented people, we see many stories of young heroes striving for success, just like the process of a flower blooming. But they are all different flowers, so even if they follow the same path, their characters are different, so the interpretations of the characters should also be different. Just like the background is different, the opponent is different, so even if you wear the same clothes, the character you should portray will be different. It has been 14 years since his debut. What was the opportunity that made you want to become an actor? He said this happened when he was teenager. He is particularly grateful to his friend. Back then, we didn't know what acting was, and he said, "Hey, you're quite suited to being an actor. Why don't you give it a try?" He encouraged me, and I gave it a try, and that's how I ended up on this path. So, thank you to that friend (nods, waves, and smiles haha). So it is kinda fate. He liked my personality, my looks, or something, and thought, why not give it a try? So he gave it a try, and walk into the acting path till now. What do you think is the biggest change in yourself since you first started performing? He said, the biggest change is definitely his mindset. He has learned to wait, and more importantly, to be calm and composed. He has been able to calm down a bit. That's the biggest change. He often said performance is art of regret. The reason is because there are not so many perfect things in this world. Because filming is actually a collective art. The experience of filming for the first time and now is different. Back then i regret why i didnt act well. But noone gave you that much opportunities, because their filming is not just you. On the set, it is kinda like in battle, need to prepare everything, the protagonist or supporting actor, director etc, cant let their guard down. Can only said, it's about trying to make each film less regretful than the last. So, it all comes down to your own professional abilities, to try to minimize any regrets. The word "actor" means, he think being a good actor means more about playing your role well. What kind of example do you set? What kind of character do you portray? I think, as the teacher just mentioned, if your performance of Li Lianhua in "Mysterious Lotus Casebook" is well-received by the audience, can be seen by more people, wouldn't that be the greatest joy for an actor? About improvement, he cant say, but he believe there is small progress along the way, such as the focus, understanding the characters, etc. When filming Lin JingYu, he waited for his scene to filming, everyone asked why do you like fishing, because it can help us to be patient in waiting. And he also need to prepared for action scenes in the drama. The martial art intructors dont just trained you, they also trained many people, so you have to train more yourself, also get yourself in habit to train/exercise everyday, although it is hard, but after some time, you realized that you can do the kungfu movements. Seeing this, the instructors were happy to see it, so they also respect him, he also respect them. So we are working together to make it works. The host asked do you think you are talented or hardworking actor. He said he is not talented, there are many things that he need to learn. They said you practically are Hengdian old timer, now in a year could film 2-3 dramas. He said there are many other Hengdian old timer. He appreciate every opportunity to film, every characters to play. Because back then in college, there are many people whose performance much better and has good look. We all have dream, everyday to learn more. Time really flies so fast, there is so many things happened, so he appreciate every opportunities to play. So he will try his best to play the characters well. A long the way, there is many up and down, and your family background is not from entertainment too, do you ever questioned whether you can stay as an actor. He said his family is quite simple, when he studied acting in Beijing, it is hard for them to finance it. They also dont understand the profession. But i am really thankful to my dad and mom, although they dont understand it, but because their son has dream, they believe he can find his own way. Although the process is not easy, but he keep persisting and keep learning and making breaktrough to make it work. Do you think your personality is quite strong? I think so, from young he has strong personalitu, he is a man, eventhough if you fell, you will stand up to face it. His dad also said, Beijing is so far away from his home, then your future road you must walk it on your own. He said, i will. Then how you make it thru the ordeal/hardship. He said he really thankfull to his Guoguo/fans. Because they send him letters, till now he still keep it. The lettter said, after Lin Jinyu, she cant see his new characters anymore, but brother, i believe you, you will get better and better, and i'll definitely see more of you in the future. Because after playing that role, i didn't have any new projects for a few years. maybe that's just how my career path is. So sometimes, my fans would feel worried for me. that's why being able to come this far and be where i am now, i feel even more grateful to them, for their support and perseverance all along. So it thanks to the support of your family and fans that he make it thru. Yes, family, fans, friends, and collegemates. So for an actor to be able to be seen by more people, it need opportunity and time to wait, how do you cope with it. This is something you cant help with, you can only wait. Donโt dwell on/worry about the past, donโt know the future, just live in the present. Then all you can do is to do the best of you could for the present, prepared for every opportunity. Just the like old saying, if you work hard you might not get rewarded. But without hardwork, you won't even have the chance to gain. So, wait for opportunities, constantly hone yourself during the downtime when there's no filming. Do your personality always so calm? No it is not like that, when you are young, when you are in teenage, in your 20s, 30s, it is different, because of what you face, the people you met is different. I think it all depend on your state of mind, because i dont like to bother others, so i just face it myself. When I just graduated, I was still young. At that time, I tried my best to please others, be more outgoing and lively, so that more people would see me. But I found that as I got older, my state of mind changed, and I felt that it was good to be myself. Do you have any tips how to face harships? Tips i dont have it haha.. i think life is nothing more than living with yourself, so don't be too hard on yourself. Believe that you still have your family, friends, believe you will find happiness, believe the future will get better. What is your definition of good work? He said good works are the product of collective efforts. Then what your criteria to choose for your roles? When i just started my profession, i am not the one who choose, it is other who choose me. Just give me any role, i will play them. But it is much better now, i need to work harder, to discuss with director, scriptwriters, and other departments how to do the drama well. I still have many things to learn. After the drama aired, i can also learn from the audiences feedback, to learn how to improve myself. So do you see the barrages? I dont really see the barrages, usually after 2-3 times of watching then i see the barrages. It is so cute and interesting, they can understand it from that kind of perspective. Do you worry whether youโve fallen into a โcostume drama specialistโ label? Not really. Worries are something you give yourself. There are many kinds of costume dramas; the character backgrounds and opponents are different, so what you want to express is definitely different. As an actor he also want to play more different roles, to make breakthrough. He didnt have any particular theme to like, any theme he want to explore more. The audiences also saw the variety show, said you are gaming black hole (๐ ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ). Actually i dont know why i am like that, because my personality just like that, slow burned. Just few days ago i play game again, the laoshi told me few times (the rule of the game), but i still dont understand it. I guess i am gaming black hole๐ just hope people will watch the drama. Because of your personality, do you ever feel emotional hardship? I think it is okay.
ChengYi gonna have live interview on People's Daily apps tomorrow Oct 16th at 19.30. He discussed Chinese martial arts. He believes chivalry is about responsibility, and that "the greatest chivalrous men serve their country and their people." Everyone has a chivalrous spirit in their hearts. He expressed his hope to work with millions of viewers to promote and expand Chinese martial arts, because martial arts is not just about fighting; more importantly, it's about the spirit of chivalry. Cheng Yi also mentioned that everyone says martial arts is declining, but precisely because of this, someone should do more. Although his personal influence is small, he believes that everyone needs to unite and let more people see Chinese martial arts. He also discussed character creation, describing vibrant characters as flowers. Discussing artistic ethics, he emphasized the importance of being a good person before acting. So excited!!!! Cant wait to see the full interview tomorrow!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ https://weibo.com/2286908003/5222059213065648
So the process kinda like Sancai to Xiao MingMing. Maybe Kaiyan is the cheats that Li Nan created,but more developed because he spend some time already into the games.
And actually Xiao MingMing cheats changed Qiushui life. I remember his mom said at child he was talented and seriously studying martial art but somehow got sidetrack. It is because little Qiushui find his new sister๐ he spend his teenage time (the productive age to study) to go to the forest to find medicine and flowers for his new found sister who gravely ill at the time.
Okay my theory, i thought it is because Qiushui and Xiao MingMing has unique compatible soul, so they can easily merged. While Li Nan and Kaiyan, is more to manipulator to low esteem prey relationship, cult leader to his follower kind ๐ so it is not compatible.

I also wondered why Xiao MingMing cant meet with Qiushui in the system realm? I mean LiNan and Kaiyan can meet. What your theory on this?
their demand for them double.
But Xiao Ming Ming didnt immediately become hero. From modern people who only think the people inside the game are not real, and he just want to get out quickly by doing the task, then living Qiushui's life, grew attached to Xiao family (mom and dad really super sweet, they both love him in their own way, he is an orphan so to finally have a warm family again is dream come true). His belief in chivalry grew stronger because of the people he met. It is not everyday you meet people who die for saving you, it is rare in our world. And he is really genuinely sweet caring person and a man with principle, lead by example, because he sacrifice his life to reveal the bad people deed and save people life, just because it is the right thing to do and to protect the people he love. He never force them, he respect their free will. Like for his sister, he knew she was force to married but since she said she is willing, all he could do is to protect her until she herself want to get out from the marriage.

The host asked do you think you are talented or hardworking actor. He said he is not talented, there are many things that he need to learn.
They said you practically are Hengdian old timer, now in a year could film 2-3 dramas. He said there are many other Hengdian old timer. He appreciate every opportunity to film, every characters to play. Because back then in college, there are many people whose performance much better and has good look. We all have dream, everyday to learn more. Time really flies so fast, there is so many things happened, so he appreciate every opportunities to play. So he will try his best to play the characters well.
A long the way, there is many up and down, and your family background is not from entertainment too, do you ever questioned whether you can stay as an actor. He said his family is quite simple, when he studied acting in Beijing, it is hard for them to finance it. They also dont understand the profession. But i am really thankful to my dad and mom, although they dont understand it, but because their son has dream, they believe he can find his own way. Although the process is not easy, but he keep persisting and keep learning and making breaktrough to make it work.
Do you think your personality is quite strong? I think so, from young he has strong personalitu, he is a man, eventhough if you fell, you will stand up to face it. His dad also said, Beijing is so far away from his home, then your future road you must walk it on your own. He said, i will.
Then how you make it thru the ordeal/hardship. He said he really thankfull to his Guoguo/fans. Because they send him letters, till now he still keep it. The lettter said, after Lin Jinyu, she cant see his new characters anymore, but brother, i believe you, you will get better and better, and i'll definitely see more of you in the future. Because after playing that role, i didn't have any new projects for a few years. maybe that's just how my career path is. So sometimes, my fans would feel worried for me. that's why being able to come this far and be where i am now, i feel even more grateful to them, for their support and perseverance all along.
So it thanks to the support of your family and fans that he make it thru. Yes, family, fans, friends, and collegemates.
So for an actor to be able to be seen by more people, it need opportunity and time to wait, how do you cope with it. This is something you cant help with, you can only wait. Donโt dwell on/worry about the past, donโt know the future, just live in the present. Then all you can do is to do the best of you could for the present, prepared for every opportunity. Just the like old saying, if you work hard you might not get rewarded. But without hardwork, you won't even have the chance to gain. So, wait for opportunities, constantly hone yourself during the downtime when there's no filming.
Do your personality always so calm? No it is not like that, when you are young, when you are in teenage, in your 20s, 30s, it is different, because of what you face, the people you met is different. I think it all depend on your state of mind, because i dont like to bother others, so i just face it myself. When I just graduated, I was still young. At that time, I tried my best to please others, be more outgoing and lively, so that more people would see me. But I found that as I got older, my state of mind changed, and I felt that it was good to be myself.
Do you have any tips how to face harships? Tips i dont have it haha.. i think life is nothing more than living with yourself, so don't be too hard on yourself. Believe that you still have your family, friends, believe you will find happiness, believe the future will get better.
What is your definition of good work? He said good works are the product of collective efforts.
Then what your criteria to choose for your roles? When i just started my profession, i am not the one who choose, it is other who choose me. Just give me any role, i will play them. But it is much better now, i need to work harder, to discuss with director, scriptwriters, and other departments how to do the drama well. I still have many things to learn. After the drama aired, i can also learn from the audiences feedback, to learn how to improve myself.
So do you see the barrages? I dont really see the barrages, usually after 2-3 times of watching then i see the barrages. It is so cute and interesting, they can understand it from that kind of perspective.
Do you worry whether youโve fallen into a โcostume drama specialistโ label? Not really. Worries are something you give yourself. There are many kinds of costume dramas; the character backgrounds and opponents are different, so what you want to express is definitely different. As an actor he also want to play more different roles, to make breakthrough. He didnt have any particular theme to like, any theme he want to explore more.
The audiences also saw the variety show, said you are gaming black hole (๐ ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ). Actually i dont know why i am like that, because my personality just like that, slow burned. Just few days ago i play game again, the laoshi told me few times (the rule of the game), but i still dont understand it. I guess i am gaming black hole๐ just hope people will watch the drama.
Because of your personality, do you ever feel emotional hardship? I think it is okay.
