    Also, is JY born in a (pretty) well  no do family? In thr BstTS of addicted web series, he is wearing a rick owen shoe, which cost more than $1000 :blink: which means he is already pretty well off before the web series.

    This question always haunts me tbh. I remember surfing his instagram back in February and finding quite a number of pictures of really fancy sneakers, caps, also brandy (aka much expensive) skate boards; he liked taking artsy pics of glasses with pricey cognacs/spirits too. He also travelled to S. Korea a couple of years ago (which must have cost quite a deal too). Yes, his stress on not being "rich like GH" is logical - but he aint a simple village boy either.

    To be honest, as much as I love any interaction between BLY & GH, I was slightly disappointed by the kisses... I guess I had set my expectations too high, so those lip touches just didn't do it for me :/

    BLY seemed slightly more willing than in ep 12 though, so thats good :)

     

    *prays that the wait pays off and BLY at least makes duck lips at GH in 15th episode* sorta logical that BLY avoids dem sinful kisses in every way but still, novel!BLY didn't mind GH's frenchies that much *throws glitter* As a side thought, what is going on? Why are cut scenes being released just like that? Who is releasing all these videos? Are we, mere mortals, going to get punished? 

    @jlt4ever living in a dream, woah *___* thank you for sharing your experience! :D Did Jingyu do any more of the cute bounching in the rooms?

  3. @kmmyzz, thank you for the Weibo Tracking App tutorial, I've been meaning to get it but didn't really want to use the buggy one >< So, I've dled this seemingly safe app and decided to check JY's and ZZ's online time... is this correct that they both sort of disappeared some time after 4pm and still haven't shown up?

    Spoiler

    Xu disappeared at 4:30, and appeared a tiny bit before 8:

    Huang disappeared at 4 and appeared before 11:

    CjLWy_uWUAEs_n0.jpg

    ... or am I missing smth/using the app wrong?

    A very important question to the kind kin of these YuZhou lands: is it possible to find Jingyu's show bits "Date With Star?" with subtitles? Has anyone kindly done the translations for his conversation parts? I've only managed to find a tiny BTS video, subbed by LovelyThings ;; any given hint appreciated ;;

    P.S. I'm sorry if this post looks weird, typing this message from my phone ;A;

    "The China program for 2016, will include a China Co-Production Day on May 13 and a special New Chinese Talents pitching and mentoring event on May 16. There will also be not one but two China Pavilions in Cannes this year, the Eden Pavilion and the Wutian Ming-China Film Foundation Pavilion. Both are located in the Pantiero side of the Village."

    Seeing how JY seems to be really attending the Cannes, even with a special stage focused on New Chinese Talents, it makes me wonder. Wonder how very much lgbt oriented Europe is going to react to Mainland China's presenting their works/pavilions this year since the morality ban has been put in place, 

    Spoiler

    Europe whistled during the perfomance of a Russian singer during Eurovision last year, just because she was "from Russia that's against all gay". I'd like them to start a discussion over the issue with the ban in China, I hope Europe stays consistent on this. 

    If you think about it, it's quite ironic that they chose to send Jingyu there - him, coming from a drama about gay high schoolers, being banned from everything tv-related because of it... tell me more about that exact representation SARFT(??) would love to show lmao

  5. As a sort of addition to my above post, the whole birthday ordeal actually starts in Chapter 82, "Ticket to the Past". It is the sweetest thing ever written, with GH becoming Superman again basically recreating the whole 1st Volume scene in the very apartment they had shared 8 years ago in just 10 hours.

    Spoiler

    He prepares the present together with BHQ, YM and one of LY's soldiers (the one GH tried to grill right in the hospital ward). BLY wakes up to everything being exactly as it was when they still went to high school, with his uniform prepared, and GH, also in uniform, telling him that he had bought breakfast. BLY just goes mental about the whole situation, because GH even found the dinosaur mobile phone he had used back in that time (2002, no). He tried calling his dad and YM and everyone continued to pester him about going to class. Poor BLY was more devasted than happy though, thinking about the hard military life he had endured during those years, and what if it was really all a dream, he couldn't believe it. While evil GH just sits there, stuffing his face with breakfast, acting all confused, we have BLY ripping the curtains to see the evidence of time travel in the street, and the disarrayed man gets surprised to see a huge building-tall writing "Happy Birthday" covered in roses, carried by a helicopter with YM and LY's soldier, with GH standing behind stunned BLY, laughing at him. 

    BLY beats up his *ss and then they make out, YM and soldier awkwardly flying away. Only then BLY feels truly touched, for he stopped celebrating his birthdays 8 years ago. Of course, leave it to GH to remember all BLY dates. how does he not insist on celebrating the first time ly willingly let him touch his xiao yin weird 

    Chapter 83, "Nicest Blessings", has the two serious adult males put on school uniforms and clamber up on a bicycle, because GH put his managerial skills to use (no one asked u) just to trick BLY, and had their clothes and cars taken away. So they had no other choice but go to BHQ's house by bycicle. lol When they put on uniforms, BLY commented that he felt stupid, trying to seem like a kid, to which confident GH replied, "I'm still young, I look the same as I did 8 years ago", and BLY laughed and told him to stfu, because his skin wasnt that nice anymore, and GH, "..."

    Reading the scene from Chapter 82 was really touching though, for obvious reasons. ;A; Imagining them do it in the drama with JY wearing OBEY hoodie instead of uniform tho, because, reasons. ;A; all the missed opportunities. In my defense for writing these summaries, I checked the first page for the Volume 2 posts, and didn't find these chapters mentioned, but they're so sweet >< so, I thought, why not...

    But the confirmation of the actual timing is in Chapter 84.

  6. BLY's actual birthday is in the end of June, according to Volume 2, chapter 84:

    Spoiler

    There is a scene where YQ sends BLY tickets to the premier of a movie he starred in, called "Overdue Love Letter". YQ called BLY to tell him that he simply must come to the premier because he has a present for him. The present turns out to be his confession about feelings he had harbored for LY back in high school. 

    It's actually a pretty hilarious chapter, because GH senses that something is fishy about the whole present thing, and keeps possessively groping LY during Q&A session with actors. LY is, of course, scandalized and all. Then YQ gets asked if he's ever faced a situation with delivering a love letter late, and so he starts reminiscing about all the little moments he had with LY: the toilet paper (not actually presented by LY lol), his New Years present for LY, them sleeping in one bed when LY came to visit his hometown (when GH was away in US), etc. In the mean time, jealous GH is busy crushing LY's balls and LY crouching in his seat, sweating in pain, telling him that YQ isn't talking about him (which is bullsht). In the end, oblivious YQ happily congratulates LY on his birthday (without any names ofc, because he's an idol) and GH goes berserk as in "he is talking about you after all, why u lyin", LY's testicles on fire. GH's unsightly commentary during the movie was very entertaining too btw.

    absolutely loved YM's attitude during the movie and him basically destroying YQ's career after when he noticed LY who was desperately trying not to be noticed by YM, and called him out in front of everyone, "hey, he meant you, bro, he was in love with you", thanks, YM, you're one true friend.

    so, birthday is in the end of June.  

    About the 1st uncut part, shared during the day,

    Spoiler

    namely, LY's dream, lol why did they cut it... I bet it was all dad BHQ's stare that seemed too provocative, boy, I know. Anthony is one hot specimen, I don't blame them. I'll be honest if I say that when I started watching Addicted, I was more interested in the dads because c'mone. JY girl is lucky, from one hot tamale to another

    Here is a rare picture of Master Johnny acting dominant and forcing Slave Zhou into a lacy situation:

    but its no use speculating bc i think we'll never know and all of that is gonna stay in the vault forever unseen, like a myth....

    Can we hope that they include the unedited scenes in the DVD though, like an "Additional Scenes" clip section, right next to the "BTS" one. Along with the "123456 hours of footage of JY and ZZ sharing bed". Oh, boy, do I like dreaming big...

    Wow serious? GWT finding out about them richard simmons is towards the end of the novel! Wow. If only the episode is 45 mins Long! it would be able to include more scenes. As I watched the 15 episodes in YouTube before reading the novel, I realise they skip a lot of parts in the show throughout. Ahh I can only wished those Extra 3 episodes somehow leaked out!! 

    I'd say that Gu Weiting's finding out doesn't happen exactly towards the end though. There are so many things happening after that moment, but I somehow doubt the 17th episode will have enough time to have them reconcile after GH went Alpha on LY, then have GW see them kissing, and then put GH in the tunnel for 5 days while LY seeks out Gu Yang for help I so would have paid to see GY ask for physical payments from LY tho brilliant scene That's too much action for one episode.

    I read on another forum (cr to GingerCake) that even the first episode will contain uncut scenes, so it seems each episode will be longer and there are not just the intimate scenes that left unseen. Personally first I never believed that there are more materials after episode 15, however CJD's goodbye post made me confused when she mentioned that she is regretting not shooting the car accident scene because of funding issues. So probably this is the reason they cut it to 15 episodes. At the time they must have thought that if they gained enough money from the DVD sales they can pull out the car accident scene for S2. 

    I have hopes that the 45-minute episodes rumour was at least half-true, and we get additional 10 minutes to each episode.

    I always found CJD's logic behind cutting the novel into seasons a tad peculiar. So she had finished filming the show up to the eloping scene to later regret that she lost opportunity to do the car accident... but then how much of those ending chapters about 20-25 thats a lot she was planning to include in Season 2 - GH meeting YY, the ridiculous armed holdup at Shanghai's flat, the famous role play, Tibet and only then car accident.... Was she actually hoping that she would get to do three seasons with the same cast? Or season 2 was supposed to be 20 episodes long and introduce the 8 years separation in episode 5-6? 

    I shall never know... :( *sits on feels and hopes for the best*

    Hi. I read your post and u mention there's supposed to be 3 more episodes? Those 3 episodes supposed to concentrate on SH appearance but it was nv shown because the show was banned thereafter?

     

    Those 3 more episodes are supposed to cover the story after the appearance of SH, Gu Weiting's finding out about them sons f**king and boys eloping to Shanghai. We have seen the eloping footage in the "Walk Slowly" MV, we have heard the possible audio version of the full 16th episode (might have seen the rape rehearsed in the BTS whatever those grope session actually were). So, we have 16th and 18th episodes pretty much lined out. Plus, I remember reading back in February, right after the ban, that the show was supposed to contain 18 series with each episode - 45 minutes long, but I am not sure how true that information was (my heart still holds onto it dearly)...

    Unless my whole life has been a lie and those rehearsals and eloping footage only happened in my head.

  10. So, as far as the Taiwanese fans know, the iQiyi will be releasing only 15 uncut episodes of Shangyin on their channel. I've seen screenshots of fan conversations discussing if the DVD is confirmed to only contain 15 episodes too, but nothing is clear yet.  

    :( wh...what about the 16-18 episodes we have been teased and poked with for eternity? what about all the footage, rehearsed, possibly filmed, never shown to the mortals? it can't be all going down the drain, right...

    i read addicted, dropped counterattack, am reading irresistible, and will read feng mang eventually. 

    the gist of irresistible: 

      Reveal hidden contents

    (idk if i'm romanizing the character's names correctly but oh well)

    the top, yuan zong, is the owner of a bodyguard company. yz and his younger sister, yuan ru, are orphans and he spent all of his youth taking care of her and building his career, thus at the age of 31 he has never been with anybody.

    yuan ru has her eyes on our bottom, a police officer named xia yao. xia yao is very handsome, but due to some "personal trauma" he refuses all his admirers and also ended up a virgin at the age of 24 lol. yuan ru enlists the help of big bro to help her woo xia yao. for her sake, yuan zong ends up following/pestering xia yao for so long that he too fell for xia yao along the way. yuan zong waited until his sister gave up on xia yao and immediately confessed to him afterwards. bc of our top's persistence and endless patience, xia yao eventually caves for the first time in his life.

    there are 2 side couples in the story involving xia yao's bffs. i find their relationships kinda silly so i most scroll through lol.

    the emotional aspect of irresitible's cp not nearly as well developed as gh/bly. but they are more, um, sexual. i find myself breaking a sweat at how vulgar some of the scenes get, gh/bly are rather tame compared to them lol. its kind of a fun porny story and i dont think its drama material (then again, i didnt think counterattack was either...).

    and i doubt cjd is going to produce anything else bl anytime soon. this addicted fiasco was probably a too much for that tiny studio and might scare away future potential actors cjd cast too.

     

    Thank you so much ;A; I'd love to read CJD's other works, your Irresistible summary sounds like something I would totally read :sweatingbullets:, since I'm finishing Addicted atm, and sorta started Counterattack, but her other works are impossible to find in translation ;; 

    Spoiler

    also, is it just me, but I find the overall description of Chi Cheng in the Counterattack novel strongly reminding me of Bor Fang which I can't help lol

    CJD seems to have tried producing one novel per year >< Very interested to see what's going to happen to her company next.

    cjd has 4 novels: counterattack, feng mang, irresistible, and are you addicted. i think they were published in that order?

    https://shop113844153.world.taobao.com/

    feng mang is set in the entertainment industry and irresistible is police/bodyguard

     

    Have you read them all? :rolleyes: Will it be impolite of me to ask you to do tiny summaries on them? :sweatingbullets:

    Makes me wonder when CJD will be able to try and produce any more of her works, seeing how controversial Addicted is and how much trouble it brought her ><

    bout the audio, I heard once but I thought it was recording from audio book? Or maybe different one? Ooh. Mystery!

     

    It technically can be a recording from the audio book, but then this certain recording skips quite a lot of details/dialogues that actually happen in the book in few chapters of SH saga, so seems a little weird in that case... *gets self's hopes up just to have them crushed later)

    So, not only we have the legendary uncut 15-episodes DVD, now we have the mythical "unknown" scenes which are not included in the uncut DVD (?). I assume, this "unknown" scenes are SH saga.

     

    *sweats nervously* Was the DVD confirmed to only contain uncut 15 episodes? I have always assumed that they actually had these last three episodes edited and ready for release smh. I remember listening to an audio version of 16th episode (whatever it was) - the rape scene happens at the very end of it... and then the next two episodes is Weiting finding out about the "rainbow party" and them fleeing - 18th episode ends on the shore. That's... how I constructed it in my head eh

    Spoiler

    Johnny sure looks not just "a little tipsy" at the airport rn lol please, sleep it off during your flight, boy

     

    A little thought about FW

    Spoiler

    I've never followed them very closely as characters since even the book sorta skips them 90% of time, but getting frustrated on behalf of Feng Song and WenWen. They didn't even get a decent amount of scenes together unlike JY and ZZ who got so popular they aint even allowed to stand near each other in case "rainbow sparks" start flying. Whatever's gonna happen to their acting path, wishing all the best for them :3

  15. Been a lurker, what a moment to come out of the shadow lol 

    Just sprinkling the thread with a bit of positive mood, but this off. message (seemingly a tad emotional too) feels timely? I think it's quite a wise move on CJD's part to release it now, with the situation going on to extreme levels (boys cant even stand together woah). It's an emotional message to the fans AND officials, like, okay, okay, no season 2, I understand and it makes me cry. Now, when the storm is raging, it's wise to calm the SAFRT (or... SARFT..) by cancelling the show.

    At the same time, what can prevent CJD's team from trying to pull through with Addicted 2 again later in the year/next year? it's not like her message on an official weibo account is written down as a law. Seems like Addicted could bring so much money to each party involved (producers and teams) if correctly promoted, seems rather wasteful to drop it forever eh

    Spoiler

    Yo in an evil dreamland tho if all four boys get banned from tv forever, I suggest the whole party packs up the bags and leaves for taiwan to film second season to release it there - at least, they might get some money out of this whole charade lol 

    That's just.... if there are really no chances for them.... which would be s**t in reality but seems like it might happen? Not even because of SAFRT but Chinese entertainment is full of jealous people eh

     

    Wishing everyone guhai unicorns and bailoyin ponies :)
