Misnomers

It's a war film. Imperial Japanese army were allied with Hitler and tortured and colonised many Asian countries, those are hard facts, calling their suffering propaganda is honestly offensive. It's always better to be educated about the subject matter than blindly make comments on it. You can just look up Wikipedia, if nothing else, trust it's not written by the CCP ;)

New 🍉: movie from Daylight Productions, dir: Kong Sheng .

Edit: Had to edit out the page link as many people are making unprovoked comments on the page over something that is far from being confirmed.

I'm glad he knows how to ride a horse, lol. Those behind the scend videos of some actors on mechanical "horses" on wheels and only half body shots of them pretending to ride are ... embarrassing to say the least. 😂😩

The c-actor known for having the highest number of active fans, has the the highest number of active fans, what a mystery isn't it?

Apparently the account that had that name pfp was fake and popped up a day before actual announcement. People found out when it started posting some other celebrity - it just wanted a quick way to make followers. The name doesn't make sense either because there's no sea majorly in the plot.

Welcome. 🤗

If you like to read, it's best to read the novel : https://wuxiasociety.com/the-legend-of-the-condor-heroes/

Just my two cents but the 2003 version is probably the closest to how this movie might look like, rest are very idol-ish.

Summer slot or National day slot, most probably. Jin Yong's birth anniversary (10th March) might be a good occasion for the first look. Let's hope!

Congrats Xiao Zhan for winning Outstanding Actor of the Year/ Breakthrough Actor of the Year at 19th Chinese-American Film & TV Fest, at CMG CCTV Media Annual Fest, and at Beijing News Annual Awards.
Congrats The Youth Memories for winning top 10 Chinese dramas in China Film blue book 2023 revealed at 74th Berlin Film Festival (voted by 50 experts), amongst other accolades.

Between the lead characters yeah but most probably won't be the focus of the drama.

Yes

Waiting for announcement and official synopsis.

Please ignore that account it's the same account that bashes the fls and keeps coming with different names and sock accounts to create trouble.

This is what the synopsis is on douban:
Wang Zanghai was originally the son of the Qintian Supervisor, and he personally experienced the destruction of his entire family in his childhood. Bearing a blood feud, he restrained his talents and learned the art of construction and manipulation. Ten years later, he returned to the capital with a new face and became a counselor under his enemy Marquis Pingjin. From the prince's palace to the court, from a civilian counselor to becoming the chief minister of the empire's cabinet, Wang Zanghai struggled to move in the treacherous power situation. He finally got the chance to kill his enemy, but found that he had only just glimpsed a corner of the conspiracy... .Faced with Mu Ye’s ignorant future, Wang Zanghai overcame obstacles and finally uncovered the conspiracy, joining hands with his beloved friends to defend the country.

I think it might also have the elements mentioned in the mdl synopsis because it's an official (?) youku one.

I have seen these kinds of comments from pressed stans of ugly actors on weibo/douyin. First pretending that he's famous only for his looks>> then acting like his looks are "manufactured" >> then also shaming his looks. Trying to demean him from all sides, basically a pressed anti. They can cry more I guess. 😜

Also if I didn't like someone's acting, I would just close the drama and watch something else. I wouldn't look up that person's predebut pics (where he looks pretty much the same just with extra weight) and come to his profile to comment about it. 🚽

Looks like good things are coming because a jobless attention seeker has already appeared with a new empty account below. Please don't reply because they thrive on the attention and report for bullying.

Yeah, I also think it's going to be a standalone story with slight references. Something like, say, Joaquin Phoenix's Joker (for the lack of a better example lol) which has passing references to Batman lore but mostly is an original story.

I have heard ML2 surname is a title not a real name. Let's not argue amongst ourselves until we see the drama because tbh this argument is moot until the actual drama is here. I am not a reader of this series but I do think there will be influences and references to the lore whether the author is involved or not. No way for any of us to know any of it for sure tho.

I am feeling this one is going to be a great drama. Also someone should change the synopsis because the one floating around (which I also read on douban) is quite different.
