You guys see what I mean, this is what separates the pros from the amateurs! Tencent the only Chinese company that can make a world class drama!
1. WORLD CLASS STORYTELLING. The nano materials scientist the only one that can crack the problem for the military. Bang right in Ep 1 they tell you the MC the only one that can get the job done!
2. WORLD CLASS CGI. The opening full CGI galaxy, Tencent the only company in the world can put so much effort into a 15 second clip. Also, the crosshair targetting the sun then zooms effortlessly past it into the sun. The microscopic view of an accerlating particle inside a particle accelerator. Tencent the only one daring enough to go all out into the atomic/molecular world!
3. WORLD CLASS PROPS. Please tell me another company can replicate the various vintage equipment seen, like CRT computer monitor. Even the military/police captain was playing snakes on an old vintage pre-smart phone phone! Please tell me another company can put so much effort sourcing vintage equipments for props!
4. LOOK AT THE NEWS. Can you name another company make the suicides on the news look like real news in today's world!
5. LOOK AT YE WENJIE's PUBLISHED PAPERS. I majored in science in University and those prop scientific papers look real as fook!! Like pulled directly from Nature (most well reknown scientific) magazine!
REMEMBER folks, Tencent has in house talent in ALL departments (storytelling, directing, CGI, SFX) and they been doing it for years and years! If this show don't end up BEST DRAMA of 2023 in CHINA and ABROAD I WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!
(As for the Netflix one, bwahaha it will be like Chinese food meant for Westerners, totally unauthentic to what Chinese people eat and love!)
Told you guys amateurish companies like BiliBili (which is only a streaming company and don't have any in house talents) would destroy precious IPs like Three Body.
This quote coming directly from GlobalTimes China online news:
"The animated series Three Body debuted on December 10 on Bilibili, a leading Chinese video sharing platform popular amongst young people.
After six episodes were released, the animation experienced a critical rollercoaster, from the grand occasion of its debut that attracted over 1oo million viewers on a single day, to the rating on media review platform dropping to 4.8/10."
These days the only Chinese company I trust to do anything right is Tencent. Because they're so rich, they have too much cash to throw at any one project. Plus, their reputation would be at stake and greatly damage their business if they ever released crap. Which is why we can only expect top quality from this company...
Nobody cares if BiliBili releases a crappy animated series, they'll just continue being a profitable streaming company. But no, Tencent cannot afford such mistakes!
Yeah I know that. But the script probably got leaked. Someone post it on Weibo, then spreads like wild fire thru rumors, etc. Someone must have known how Fan Xian survives the stab...
Suck. The CGI sucked. Script with crappy dialogues. Yeah I wanna watch a guy puke coffee in the openning scene.…
I finally found some time to stomach the first episode. It sucked. The city scape sucks. If thats how a futurisitic city looks like, then I'm very disappointed. Also, show tries too hard to be cool. You know how Hondas suck compared to Toyotas right? So Honda tries extra hard to look cool like make those Asimov robots to show off their engineering skills. At the end of the day Toyota still sells more cars than Honda. So, just you wait till Tencent airs Three Body, will be much better than the amateurish attempts by BiliBili and Netflix!
Also look at the show from the perspective of a foreigner who never read the books. The show smacks of being written by a smart ass (not the book, just the way this script was written, and I have read the first and part of the 2nd book BTW). Especially the dialogues by professor Luo during his lecture and the commands at the outer space scientific experiment, just sound so smart ass. Plus the CGI looks worse than the first Final Fantasy full cgi movie and it was made in the early 2000's!
BTW, when I say the BiliBili donghua smacks of amateurism, just look at the Panama canal scene. If Tencent had done it, there would be a shot where the nano-wires were attached, then zoomed in to the molecular level following the wire(s) across the canal and a speeding ship approaching those wires in the backdrop. Because BiliBili not an expert in anything, they afraid/unable to CGI zoom into those wires at the molecular level!
Was the original novel even a scifi? I think iQiyi just added the scifi twist. 24 episodes isn't long enough to…
IMO iQiYi only MANAGED TO GRAB THE RIGHTS TO THE DRAMA BECAUSE TENCENT HESITATED TO DO THE LIVE ACTION. BL only became banned in China becoz of Tencent's work The Untamed. Zichuan looked like BL between NOT 2 men but 3 men. May be the reason why Tencent doesn't want to do the drama becoz they already stigmatized for BL...
Was the original novel even a scifi? I think iQiyi just added the scifi twist. 24 episodes isn't long enough to…
OMG Tencent just did a retarded move. 1-2 days after the final two episodes of the donghua released from VIP for free viewing, they put all the episodes after 5 under VIP. That is so retarded, at least give people 1 week to watch for FREE after the final episode becomes un-VIP. What if someone has a busy schedule and can't watch this series until the weekend, they'd be royally screwed, loyal to the series to the final two episodes then Tencent comes out and screws with them!
Was the original novel even a scifi? I think iQiyi just added the scifi twist. 24 episodes isn't long enough to do anything. Just look at the donghua it 20 minutes per episode and they needed 42 just to do the first story arc.
BTW, I think they really mis-casted the FL. She aint even pretty, will end up like Panxi in Tribes and Empires, nobody cared about her because she was miscasted. Anyways no loss only 24 episodes, plus the costumes look hella ugly. What is this 300 (the Hollywood movie) set on a distant planet? I can skip this drama no prob...
TENCENT DOESN'T WANT TO TOUCH THIS DRAMA AND THIS MAY BE WHY:
They did The Untamed, CCP noticed due to its popularity and quickly banned the BL (gay love) genre. Tencent doesn't want to become the scapegoat for the NEXT banned item: Polygamy/harem dramas. Harem shows aren't necessarily bad, but when all the women end up the MC's wives, instead of just one, that kind of work is BANNABLE becoz polygamy is not only illegal in China but everywhere else in the world!
Anyone waiting for this.. you can watch Bilibili donghua adaptation which is already started airing and it's really…
Suck. The CGI sucked. Script with crappy dialogues. Yeah I wanna watch a guy puke coffee in the openning scene. BiliBili is just a streaming company and very amateurish production company. They dont have any in house talent like Tencent. Without Tencent making this drama, the Three Body IP would have been destroyed and neutered by BiliBili and Netflix.
Can someone explain to me why there are 3 different Fox Spirit dramas all seemingly released in 2023? (BTW, I'm never gonna watch the Yang Mi one. I'm her biggest anti-fan. If she's in the other two dramas, then I shall have to skip them too... )
Jin Yong other stories don't have the dramatic value of a tragic ending unlike Fox Volant. So yeah, many more Jin Yong dramas will be made in the future but NOT by Tencent. And I can assure you, the quality and CGI of those dramas will be very terrible compared to typical Tencent production.
PLUS, JIN YONG IS SO PASSE:
1. Age of Jin Yong 1950's - 2000's 2. Age of Jin Yong copycats and knock/rip offs - current 3. A new Jin Yong is born (different author same story writing talent) - future.
So yeah, count yourselves lucky you got a Jin Yong drama made by the top production company in China (Tencent) way past prime time for Jin Yong original TV shows!!
Guys (and gals), go watch A Will Eternal (anime) on WeTV, same place that streams Fox Volant. If you enjoyed Fox Volant Side Story, then A Will Eternal has the same/similar story. BUT the ending of A WILL ETERNAL should be much HAPPIER than ending of Fox Volant.
ML in AWE saved FL's life by almost sacrificing his (like how Hu Fei didn't care about his leg to save Ziyi). How does the girl then repay him? She erases all her memories of their past relationship, almost like Ziyi becoming a nun to spite Hu Fei.
BUT the other girl (2nd FL) in AWE, in the book she had a child with MC. So I don't think she will die in the anime unlike Cheng Lingsu who died to protect Hu Fei.
So yeah, if you like Fox Volant BUT not the sad ending go watch A Will Eternal anime. THAT series should be a much happier "version" of Fox Volant...
1. Not done by Tencent. Companies that rely on selling airing rights to TV channels don't put much effort into their production except superficial hype. Just look at the traversity called Tribes and Empires, so much hype but delivered so little. Tencent relies on getting money from VIP subscriptions. It's a different business model than selling airing rights and it requires the drama quality to be utmost top notch above other companies productions.
2. No Song Junwan. Wut the hell? In the anime Bai Xiao Chun only spent little time with Du Ling Fei. She literally disappears from the entire first season after only a few episodes with BXC. Meanwhile, his other flirt Song Junwan, BXC spent like over 1/3 of the first season with her. Plus I ship BXC+SJW relationship. They make a very cute couple. I literally giggled when Song Junwan made first appearance as fairy like older woman while BXC hadn't gone thru puberty yet. What more they literally called her GuGu. I really love it when somebody rips off Jin Yong's Condor Heroes Return ML+FL characters and does a really good job at it!
3. Is the anime even finished yet? I have just started watching S2. I am looking forward to more BXC+SJW cute/funny/romantic scenes and might even skip this live action done by another company becoz SJW not even listed in the cast!
No you got it wrong the producing company is not rich, they spend most of the money into the production especially…
Stop arguing. The dramas with the play button logo at the beginning... They the true Tencent production.
You can see the op/end credits very much attention to details. Tencent had full control of that process.
You can hear the OST and soundtrack. Very fluid and beautiful. Tencent paid the composer and singer handsomely.
You can see the photorealistic poisonous smokes and counter-smokes in the fight scenes. Only Tencent has the talent to pull that kind of CGI off.
You can see how each episode ends in a cliffhanger. That is Tencent trademark editing.
You can see how Miao Renfeng finishes Tian Long sect leader off in a few moves. That is trademark Tencent storytelling. They dont beat around the bush. There are much bigger scenes to complete like Lingsu dying.
Remember how Sword Sage killed army of 1000 soldiers with just a swing of sword in recent drama with star from Joy of Life? Another company might stretch that scene to 15 minutes, but not Tecent. They got bigger baddies to fry!!
Remember Tencent is not a broadcasting rights company. No hype? Who cares. No promotion? Who cares. Fox Volant meant to keeping exisiting VIP members happy. If they need hype they got better cards to play...
Does the FL also have some superpowers? Who does she saw at ep16? And she also have tgat eye symbol on in back…
The man who helped her up while doing Matrix-style stop motion... He is her ancestor. He was the first one to seek the cure. Obivously he didntfind the cure in his lifetime so Shirley ending the curse was the consolation to his soul. Also a bunch of ghosts gathered and disappear. They are the tribesmen of Shirleys ancestor.
Vengo in Kunlun Tomb. He is last episode for like 2minutes and has zero lines. Very disappointing. He is a quest…
Eh, he had main role in previous series as Shirley's ancestor. Why are you complaining? Can go visit previous series watch Vengo in glorious action all ye want!
I watched the last 3 episodes on illegal streaming site in RAW Chinese. Don't have a clue what they're saying. BUT it seems no more viral disease plus Hu Bayi asked Shirley to marry him? How can there be another series after this? The story is finished!
