"AMA was a touch given by Xu Kai. Yu Zheng said that his vision of Gu Yan Zhen was different, and he was impressed with what Kai did!"

Yu Zheng, his own agency, did not recommend the role to Xu Kai either. I recall seeing an old interview, Xu Kai said he was told not to take this role, but he read the script and asked if he could try out and got the role.

If WJY had paired with XK right away on the next project, with the right script, that's better than pairing with that older actor Nie Yuan. WJY was very kind to XK when he was brand new to the business. Before The Double aired (and also Yang Mi's drama), Xu kai especially gave a shout out to his fans to watch those two dramas. I notice WJY is in The Great Escape with Xu Kai.

Last year, Yu Zheng said in a livestream that WJY only has 11 scripts to choose from!

Han Ting’s business style is ruthless and shows no mercy (“Find me a man, I’ll find you a crime”). This helps him beat the competition and stay on top, often creating a tense and high-stakes environment. Driven by his pledge to double the stock price in two years, he becomes even more ruthless, making decisive changes such as overhauling entire management teams to serve his purposes. However, he treats good and loyal people with fairness and respect. On the other hand, Ji Xing prefers to build relationships and find win-win solutions, which can lead to long-term success, a good reputation, and stronger alliances.

Zoomed close-ups can be incredibly powerful, especially when used with actors who have expressive faces and can convey a lot of emotion through their eyes. It’s a technique that, when done well, can draw viewers deeper into the character’s emotional state and make intense moments even more impactful. Not every actor can pull off this technique as effectively, which is why it can sometimes be hit or miss. But when it works, it can be mesmerizing and add a lot to the storytelling. For actors like SYR, his ability to “speak with his eyes,” and Princess WN’s intense expressions make close-ups particularly effective. The subtle nuances in their expressions can convey complex emotions, making the audience feel more connected to the characters. The split-second close-up during sudden, intense moments can be mesmerizing. Rapid zooms can build tension and suspense, adding a unique flair to the storytelling. It's simply a part of the director’s stylistic signature. It's nice to see something different than the usual style.

if you think about the title "The Double", it has a nice ring to it. Good Title.

I've not seen any promotional videos that has WJY and Nie Yuan together for Yanxi promotion, only WJY and XK.

Wang Xingyue and Zhou Ye are both under Yu Zheng. I was surprised that Yu Zheng had WXY in supporting roles his first two years given that he already had many performances in acting academy which he graduated by the time he was 18 and can act.

If you listen to XK interviews, he's very grounded person. He only competing with himself.

dream on

Yu Zheng did not ride the coattail of Yanxi Palace for WJY. He waited four years later for XK and WJY to pair up on Royal Feast. You'd think she gave him such a big hit with Yanxi, he'd pair her up with Xu Kai right away. Happy for WJY with her success in The Double. Her next drama with Liu Xue Yi should be great too.

she's a good actress.

XK and WJY have only starred in one drama together as the ml and fl.
BL is the only actress with whom XK has starred in two dramas as both the ml and fl.

XK has starred as ml with 15 fl in 6 years. Imo, ABAY and WOL had the most natural chemistry both on screen and off screen. My favorite in terms of acting of the 15 fl are ZDY and TSY.

VLinkage 8/25/24, Han Ting, #10, after 54 days

English translations that I pick up from Chinese dramas, "muddle headed" and "dotard".

My second watch, I became more aware of HT's expressions after the breakup. It matches the mood. It carried into his speech.

That is what XYX told HT when he went to office, so I looked up how to say gorilla in Chinese, and it's 大猩猩 Dà xīngxīng. That scene fades with HT looking at the gorilla and thinking about it. This is foreshadowing of him going to Germany and finding JX again.

The gorilla was a present from XYX and was in this office from the beginning of episode 1. It was a symbol of his fate with JX.

In the world of AI, data is crucial. Han Ting’s venture into free medical services can harness abundant medical data. This has the potential to propel the industry forward significantly. What initially seems nonprofit may eventually yield long-term benefits.

Han Ting's speech for The 5th Shenzhen AI in Healthcare Expo & Summit 2024 is entitled "Medical & Human".

"I like to talk about medicine and human. Two years ago, Dongyang Medical organized a medical activity in the countryside. We went to Qingtian Fishing Village. It has a beautiful scenery. People there are simple. But they have few medical resources. There is only a small clinic. Only minor illnesses can be treated. The trip to a city hospital is difficult. So, in most cases, when someone has a disease that can't be handled in the clinic, the first thing he does is bear it. A friend of mine was also there for this charity activity. We met an old lady who lost her shank and had to live with an artificial limb. An unsuitable artificial limb made it hard for her to walk. For dozens of years, she was living with sensitivity and inferiority. This case inspired my friend's original aspiration. She decided to start a company of customized medical device. She told me the meaning of developing medical technology is to give everyone medical resources so that they can live a better life. I guess a medical worker will feel the proudest when he sees his designed products are used for patients.

Six months ago, Dongyang Medical and Hanhai XingChen jointly went to remote places to give a free customized treatment. We helped this old lady to get a suitable artificial limb. Her life started to shine again. I've participated in many free medical activities. I've seen many similar patients too. I've realized our people actually have a very simple medical requirement. Maybe... It's just a truly medicative painkiller. Or maybe... it's just a cost-effective customized artificial limb. But look at us. Sometimes, we only focus on developing products and playing with concepts instead of carefully listening to or feeling the real demands of our people.

It's just like love. I always gave you what I wanted to offer. I only told you what I wanted you to know. I thought I was protecting you. But in the end, they would just be pale excuses. I ignored what you really wanted. And what kind of love you wanted. Love is mutual. So is medical technology. Technology for our country and medical treatment for people. Only when we know what people need, can we really heal them. It's such a simple truth. But I didn't realize it before paying a big price.

Here, I'd like to announce something. In the future, Dongyang Medical will work with Hanhai Xingchen to invest twenty million a year in free customized treatments throughout 30 towns and 115 villages. We'll help more patients in need. We'll also offer follow-up service to those involved patients and always keep them healthy.
In one's life, he only wants two things. A dream to fight for all his life. And a partner to spend his life with. At this forum, I want to get myself a chance. I hope the friend who led me out of confusion can give me a second chance. As for my dream, I'll keep working hard.

Everyone here, I hope you'll remember why you started and strive forward.

Thanks for listening.

In Episode 36, Han Ting draws an analogy between medical technology and love. He emphasizes that just as love should be mutual, understanding people’s needs is crucial for effective medical treatment. I've written out HT's speech in the spoiler below.

After they reconcile, JX and HT are a power couple in business. I love this business technology story. The details are accurate. HT has big bold vision to advance AI for China, not just for Dongyang Medical but for all fields. HT implements what is really both his and JX's original vision to make medical technology more accessible in remote towns and villages. But it was JX, a small-town girl who understood the need to listen to people's needs (customers). JX's business philosophy is one that believes in win-win proposition for both parties. I think that's smart. She views technology as a tool to improve people's lives. I love that JX's beginnings are a small-town girl with a big heart and brains who can make an impact on the industry and on people's lives. HT and JX 's fate are really intertwined, the convergence of JX's business growth and HT's personal development.
