[Watching it now, the production quality is very good, it's beautiful.]
What? The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? I'm going there right away!
[Watching it now, Yang Huanyi's action scenes are quite good, but his performance isn't great; several scenes feel out of place. It's like he's on drugs.]
[You haven't seen Xie An upstairs yet, have you? If you've seen Xie An's performance, you'll think Yang Huanyi is a Golden Horse Award-winning actress.]
No way... another remake has failed... Xiao Fengque's curse has come true yet again...
To be honest, the plot is quite faithful to the original novel, probably about 70%. The supporting characters are also good; Jiang Erjing, Ge Dafu, Shi Qing, and even the dancing courtesan all seem to have stepped right out of the book.
What's the point of faithfully recreating supporting characters if the main characters aren't?
[The version of Sanwu with the least chemistry ever; they look like a patient, earnest homeroom teacher and a rebellious, underachieving student standing together.]
Ah Feng, my Ah Feng, your life is so hard...
[Oh my god, I saw a post on Weibo from a 20-year-old fan of Xiao Fengque (a character from a popular Chinese TV series) protesting for her rights, hoping the movie channel could make a better version of the story. I can't imagine how heartbroken she must be this time...]
[Is it the one named Kui Kui? I saw it too. She really loves Xiao Feng Que. Twenty years ago, I was still a baby in my mother's belly.]

After the seasoned veterans had been discussing this for dozens of minutes, the tone of this post suddenly changed.
Hello everyone, I'm new here. Does anyone know which actress plays the top dancer?
This sentence seemed to be a fuse, and soon after, a dozen or so new level one accounts appeared downstairs, all inquiring about things related to the dancing courtesan.
[Newbie here, please be kind! I've searched several places but still can't find who she is! Please, please [hands clasped together]]
[I'd like to ask if this forum allows fanfiction? I just wrote a little bit of fanfiction about Xiao Fengque and Mianmian, but I'm not sure where to post it.]
[Wow, that's some fast typing upstairs! Let me see! (screams)]
The newcomers' comments were disorganized and quickly went viral, reaching dozens of posts. Fortunately, the veterans on the forum were quite friendly and willing to answer the newcomers' questions, making the exchange between the two sides relatively pleasant.
These were all comments made before the movie finished playing. Di Xue moved her finger and jumped directly to the last page.
The message on the last page was just posted.
Breaking news! We've found the actress's name for Mianmian! It's Ye Chu! What a beautiful name! [Screenshot]
[Ye Chu? Never heard of her. A complete newcomer?]
[They might be a dancer, hired by the production team specifically to dance, and also have a cameo role in another scene?]
[Hey, this is supposed to be a movie discussion thread, how did it turn into a character discussion thread...?]
[Because she's the most outstanding character in this movie, who else should we talk about if not her? Xie Bazi?]
[Help! Does the new Xie An already have a nickname?]
To be honest, Xie Guangkun would have played Xie An better than him.
The atmosphere in the thread was fairly harmonious. While marveling at how outstanding characters naturally attract discussion, Di Xue wondered just how bad Xie An was that he had become the object of everyone's indignation on the forum.
The phone screen flickered, and in an instant, a new reply appeared on the screen.
[Breaking news! Latest update: KuiKui is broken! I just saw on Weibo that she posted over a dozen crazy messages!]

When "Tianji Tower" premiered, Shang Yechu naturally watched it as well.
There was no television in the bookstore, so Shang Yechu watched movies on her phone. CHTV6 has an official partner website called 6TH Movies, which updates movies around the same time as CHTV6, only about five minutes later.
For this reason, Shang Yechu even reluctantly spent a huge sum of 20 yuan to open a membership on 6TH Movie Network.
Shang Yechu watched intently, nestled in her blankets, her eyes glued to the screen.
More than an hour later, the movie ended. Shang Yechu let out a long sigh of relief.
“Yang Huanyi is finished,” Shang Yechu said with certainty.
"What's over?" 103 was also watching the movie. He couldn't tell whether the movie was good or bad or the actors' acting skills. He was just killing time with Shang Yechu.
"Look at this." Shang Yechu dragged the progress bar to the opening theme. "See it?"
“‘Project 1720: Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom (Part 1)’,” 103 read aloud the line Shang Yechu had pointed out to him. “What does this mean?”
"The 1720 Hundred Flowers Bloom Project is a cultural project led by the Ministry of Culture and hosted by CTS (China Television System)," Shang Yechu said. "It will last for five years, from 2017 to 2021, to support a number of outstanding Chinese popular literature works that have not been adapted into film or television or have been adapted into film or television infrequently, and to adapt them into theatrical films, digital films, TV series, etc., to enrich the spiritual products of the people."
103 naturally understood the weight of the words "government" and "official": "Is 'Tianjilou' part of this series?"
“That’s right!” Shang Yechu exclaimed excitedly, “I should have guessed it! Teacher Jiang Aihua is highly respected and is the number one martial arts writer in mainland China; ‘Phoenix Plays with Dragon’ has had a far-reaching influence, but it has never been successfully adapted into a film or television series; and the cast of ‘Tianji Tower’…”
"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is not only part of this series, but it's also the first book in the series!"
Shang Yechu became increasingly enthusiastic as she spoke, and simply sat up from under the covers. "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Given CTS's style, they probably wanted Yi Tianzhao to get this series off to a good start. Who would have thought Yang Huanyi would turn the show into this!"
Shang Yechu sighed and said, "It's stable."
"What's certain?" 103 asked.
Shang Yechu smiled slightly: "You'll find out soon enough."
