New mission unlocked 😂 This one’s going to be even harder to figure out ..there are so many char and we’ll be guessing who’s a ghost and who’s human... I even saw there is a paper-doll guy running errands..😁

I'm not sure if "Terror of the Underworld" is the right translation. Cause i was using more translators and was getting often ..with help of "Ghost Bane". Ghost bane in xianxia can be a talisman, or even sword or a technique that helps cultivators to repel or controll ghosts or spirits. In this synopsis they wrote a powerful being from the underground world, but it doesn't have to be a being. That was confusing part. Let me dm you.

Here's a link to one of those posts on xhs. Read the text in blue cause it's a description of each character (15). I haven't read it through when I saw that it contains some more detailed spoilers, if these are true...http://xhslink.com/o/65YgiSJGwZW

I have to say I'm still not sure. The way i saw it on xhs... Jiuchuan dies... and with the help of a powerful being from the underworld...he comes back in a damaged body. He is missing one soul and two spirits. It's not clear whether if he returns in his own body, through revival of his corpse or if he borrows someone else's, cause I saw both versions.
Anyhow, as I'm often reading these novels about missing souls/spirits, the traditional belief... simply put... is that a human body has three souls and seven spirits. If a soul or spirit(s) is missing, it causes physical weakness...unstable cultivation...or memory loss or gaps...emotional imbalance etc. depending on what soul /spirit is lost. . They need to accumulate merit to prolong life...repair the body or find the missing soul fragments. This is what Douban wrote about, he collects merits, working on to repair his body, find lost fragments, investigate. Missing them..my guess, probably turned him now into this troublemaker/psycho version causing ruckus 😁so he's no longer kind, and doing what he must do.
And on the way, he forms a bond with this White Tiger spirit who failed his tribulation, and they'll be kinda helping each other..to investigate. Sooo it's hard to patch all this info into one synopsis..cause there are inconsistencies nd gaps..

Ooh...great...👌the synopsis is a bit tricky to write. I'm not sure I get all the parts cause I've seen 2 posted here some weeks ago... then this Douban one and one on xhs that i was like....ehh, he shares a body with whose soul?😁each one had smth new and diff...

Has someone submitted the info to mdl?

Yep..it happened weeks ago.. the posts and the comm saying it was him..tho "soon" is a relative concept 😁

Saw it too...to me these rumors abt BN and VoS have a leg to stand on..cause the director of BN said it'll air "soon", jjy also said "soon" abt VoS ...Oki abt PF i haven't heard anyone from the cast or crew backing it..RC for months now is rumored for May but also no backing..

Oh right, yeah. I hope it's in March then...cause in April, Idk... that would be too many. Besides... the other two are costume dramas.. so ppl would probably be orbiting around those two...and PF may have less viewers then. Hope Tencent is smart about this one..

Lately I've been seeing more examples, like Cheng Lei ( aired back to back) and Neo ( aired at same time)..i think now Bai Lu the same..tho not completely sure abt this one.
I don't get it, and here both are Youku..

Nothing official...but today rumors are circulating that both BN and VoS will air in April (the beginning and the end).

Thx, wow… nice work collecting all that data. I’m glad it succeeded cause I really want more wuxia like this. I know wuxia has been chronically struggling with viewership ...so this is a nice surprise.

I saw hunter2022@ complaining about the marketing...but i disagree. The trailer and official bts were really good they even got me to read the manhua 😅 ...hadn’t heard of it before... so for me it clearly worked lol..
And yeah, i saw you mentioned WoF ... It’s hard to grasp how big it was with all the “it flopped” or “why isn’t it bigger” comm.. which to me felt like part of an organized anti-campaign. So it’s really nice to see the figures in your comm.

Photoshoots🔥

From what I’ve seen on Chinese platforms... ppl have been saying the movie struggled with distribution from the start ... not many evening slots..and IMAX or prime screenings were hard to find. Some said they couldn’t get it in their local cinemas, and if they did, only during early hours, didn't wanna go to see it. In some smaller cities it was even withdrawn, which led ppl behind the movie to file some official complaint. Haven’t spent too much time on this, these were just comments I'm seeing while watching some bts and movie clips posted on their platforms. It just smth to be noted.
There were also talks about infighting btw companies, probably over distribution and scheduling. My guess is that...since it’s CNY...distributors may not have pushed it much because it’s not very family friendly compared to other films. Still... despite this, it’s gaining traction and shouldn’t be underestimated.

It’s not a rumor, it’s confirmed, the drama Hun Pan Jiu Chuan. The translation I’m getting is sthing like Soul Judgment of the Nine Rivers, a costume drama, he’s the lead, filming starts March 15.
No other cast listed or confirmed yet...I’ve only seen rumors about He Shiyu, Zhang Shi’an, and Sun Zeyuan, but take that with a bucket of salt😃so far Rui is the only one confirmed.

One thing is for sure..this director knows his job..👌it would be great if rui could work with him..

One tip from many commentators..read a bit abt the main historical figures..it helps a lot cause atp there will be many characters at once..

This one is heavy nd praised … very bloody and gory...inc cannibalism. It pulled me in to read about this crazy historical period.... I might start watching it....but for now 48 episodes is a bit too much for me☹️ have already many on hold 🥴

Ooh GJM? I've seen shots and edits on xhs from his SIP that looked great, i lked the camera angels nd the great use of drones and thought no wonder rui likes his work..😄

Didn’t like much the Netflix version but the curiosity over the story led me to finish it..both version seem to have a problem with pacing.Netflix going over things quickly leaving you with what? I haven’t read the book....the Chinese one is too slow atp... acc to some comm.. ..but overall ppl like it..def an interesting story. From the same author you also have Wandering earth movie on Netflix too..
