*Edited* Omg what a terrible written review š„“š¤£ So this is based on the video game, which was inspired by a classic Chinese novel. For a moment there, my head couldn't wrap around the Japanese trying to be Chinese... because why? ___ Oh....hmmmmm....so many questions. Is this a Japanese adaptation of the Chinese novel with names, places and historical events changed to meet thier historical/cultural heritage? Or is this a Japanese attempt at protraying a Chinese narrative in hanfu and Chinese Song dynasty history? I hope it's the former and not the latter because why? š¤
I completely agree, they should have kept Yang Yang as the male lead. They knew this actor was controversial (especially…
The troll clearly glossed over my arguments because the facts mustāve bruised her inflated ego. Even after we debunked her lies, she kept copying and pasting the same script fed to her by her fandom overlords. Whatās funnyāand tellingāis that in one particular fandom thatās been barking the loudest about Tan, their fave was unemployed for quite sometime, his latest drama reportedly had budget issues, and he even lost a high-end endorsement. So maybe sheās barking so loudly because thereās trouble in her favoriteās artistic and endorsement portfolio.
Let me add to your point. He also was appointed as the first ever Magnolia Youth Promotion Ambassador. In a country…
I concur. Thanks for the additional insight. This particular hater doesnāt understand that there are levels of prestige in the film industry. In China, there are veteran actors and then there are idol actors. It is **extremely** rare for an idol actor to be taken seriously by veteran actors, and even rarer for a *luiliang* idol actor to transcend and blur the lines between idol dramas and serious dramas. While serious dramas in China may not be as popular outside of the country, they are the more widely recognized genre domestically. Everyone knows idol actors have an expiration date, while veteran actors donātāand Tan is on a tragectory to become a veteran actor.
Food for thought: Ladies, just remember that every artist, regardless of medium, seeks recognition from their peers. It is the highest form of praise you can receive. Film festivals are one of the clearest places where this is evident. Despite a particular hater and her troll account, JC has been nominated for several awards and has served as a guest juror and panelist at some of Chinaās most prestigious film festivals, particularly the Beijing International Film Festival.
Let me tell you how prestigious the Beijing International Film Festival is: a small indie filmmaker who wins there can go from a broke college student to working as an executive producer at Sony Pictures. And guess who has been a juror there⦠the one and only JCT! So donāt let them gaslight us.

*Ten Days* is incredibly hard to adapt because itās written for the video gamer demographic; the web novel reads like the script of an RPG. Itās a chauvinistic story driven by testosterone, and the women are mostly plot devices to make the men look heroic. Rumor has it that their fave wants all the female roles to be eliminated, so itāll just be a sausage fest. BUT don't quote me....š¤

Hahahaha, your fave didnāt even get any nominations at the Golden Horse Awards despite an A-list production team led by Tsui Hark. Meanwhile, JC nabbed a couple of nominations at film festivals for his indie film. Give us a break. Itās not about how high-budget or high-profile a project is, itās about the craft. Craft is judged and voted on by peers, and in terms of peer recognition, JC is at the top.
