If anyone is wondering why the background cgi is so good, it is because they used a curved screen. So usually…
It is call The Volume. Like you said it is huge LED screen on the background , currently used as well by Star Wars or Marvel.
While technology provide realistic lightning but it is unforgiving technique and have many limitation. It is just cool for static scene. If you make mistake, editing will be costly. Not many film studio using it. Antman 3 used it but they need to do some reshoot, it cost them another 50 million to redo the CGI.
Seems they cut off modern part of Donghua. So that's a huge changes but modern part in Donghua mostly just gags and random story that somehow " interwined" to later arc.
So overall really high production as expected, Tushan sister are so pretty.
I remembered China forbids harem in dramas. Shen Zaiye has about 6 concubines, excluding Taohua, and he keeps…
They put a break on harem genre. Back than, there were hundred of harem dramas and drama needs to become more and more toxic to get attention from a viewer. Only several harem dramas are good but the rest become crappy and exploitative.
Harem still exist but it is not toxic crap like it was. It just nuisance/background story instead focus of the story. Now it is more about genuine relationship than crazy backstabbing, bully and crazy sociopath woman.

Villains also keep repeating doing same things which can be boring in the long run. Hope that changes.
