It's nice to see you guys are still active. I just came by to congratulate Zhu Yi Long on the Golden Rooster award and on getting to act as the lead in many films nowadays. I never had any doubt he would manage, but it's nice to see : ) Lighting Up The Stars was heartwarming.

Sorry, Can you tell me the novel title? All I know about the books are the author's name and that he wrote series. Thanks for the link! I appreciate it!
Never mind, I found it, did a google search. The site you gave me doesn't seen to have translation of Tianya Mingyue Dao, so I will have to keep looking.
Here you go. Sorry, I was too lazy to double check if they had linked everything. I just found it by googling the title and spcnet if you want to find other wuxia novels in the future.

What sequel, please? Are talking about one of the novels-if so which, maybe I can find it in Eng.-If a drama or film, could you please tell us title? Thanks
It's the novel. There are english translations.
https://wuxiasociety.com/translations/ If you search for Gu Long, it's his Xiaoli Feidao series. I think they made also a drama about it but I didn't like it (but I only watched bits and pieces, anyway, once you have ZYL in your mind, it's kind of difficult to accept another actor in the role).
@paopaolong What has been the reception of book fans on ZYL's performance so far?

Trailer for his upcoming drama Dear myself. Hopefully it's a good one
his friend from drama school days is also playing.
I have to say I dislike the too sweet music of the trailer, hopefully the show itself is better balanced.
This is his first show we're seeing after he became big and had more freedom to choose projects and teams, fingers crossed our suffering with bad scripts is done!

His hotpot eating was very cute and calming. But I got so hungry : D
So the latest about The Lost Tomb Reboot seems to be that it comes out next year summer sometime. I wonder why it's taking so long.
The drama he mentioned he is currently filming is tentatively called My Dear Self. The female lead is Liu Shishi. It's a contemporary drama, so that's why he can film a bit more comfortably. To be honest the synopsis sounds boring as hell (misfortunate yet kind woman meets cheerful man, who becomes unlucky, but they try to keep their relationship together). I've seen this done badly many times, although theoretically you can also do it well. I don't know anything about the production team, please be good. Well, at least he seems to be happy with the filming conditions.

The page for it. His close friend Peng Guan Ying is in a supporting role. I wonder if that was the draw.

I'm excited for tomb raiders restart. Hopefully it does come out in December, I'll have loads of time then. I haven't watched My True Friend yet, since its not really my type of show, plus I took a break from all drama and variety shows when some bad stuff came out in south Korea this spring. But since you're saying his character is cool maybe I'll check it out soon.
Btw, have any guardian fans here watched the untamed? I binged it the other day and liked it, I've read the book as well (although before it was fully translated, so I haven't read the ending yet), and watched the cartoon. I liked the portrayal of Wei wuxian.
-
My True Friend is being subbed to English, and probably other languages, on Viki.

@paopaolong Thanks for all the info! I've tried to direct the conversation here so that it stays positive and informative and luckily it doesn't really require much effort. Since most of us don't speak Chinese I think the spread of misinformation would be very easy, and I don't think it's productive or nice to read back on. But an infrequent summary and update post such as yours from someone who understands what's going on and can calmly explain it is very welcome! : )
By the way, your username is very cute!
I was also happy with Qi Heng's happy ending. I thought the ending dialogue between him and his wife was perhaps a touch over-written (over-explaining), I personally prefer when everything isn't said out loud (in fiction, not in real life), but they were both so cute!
The L'Oreal and KFC ads have been delicious : )
By the way, does anyone know of a site that archives photos of Zhu Yi Long, so I could link to it in the first post? The more comprehensive and organized, the better (except stalker photos).

Really, can you point which parts? I am trying to find but its difficult because I skip scenes, not interested to watch whole movie?
Mm. He had some scene where he wore a cowboy hat, then one scene where he ran faster than one of the male leads, ruining the take (he's an extra), one scene where he was wearing some army uniform and had to slap someone, and then some party scene at about 35 minutes where he wears a red neckerchief. He's playing a tiny supporting role as an actor who plays an extra here. I don't remember more, I also sped through the film a long time ago, this director's movies are not really my style, sorry. The soldier scene is at the beginning of the movie he's really cute there. His character is silly and funny.
-
No, he was in more scenes than that. His part is very small but quite funny.
-
Youtube upload of the new year's basketball show. It's so nice how he got to incorporate things he loves like basketball and jumping around with kids into a stage performance. He looks so happy and comfortable.
The other guy also played Wu Xie in a previous adaptation, so it's 2 Wu Xies on stage.

So far only the Time of Flight song is available on Amazon. In terms of series, I've listed their names in Chinese in the first post, you can find them on bilibili, or at least his cuts. Except one which I think is banned in china. They're not subbed. From the subbed stuff, in addition to what others have mentioned the other film from the same director as Yang and his summer is also available with embedded English subs. Although his part in it is extremely small.
The story of ming Lan is currently airing, it's very good, I recommend watching it on viki.
Deleting videos from quoted content is easy. You can go into the quote and press backspace for the video until it deletes. This is forum rules.
Searching with Chinese characters is also easy. You just copy paste. Or you use Pleco or Google translate in mobile to draw the characters and then copy and paste. If you Google you can probably also find handwritten Chinese input for your computer.
There's also a guardian specific soompi forum if you want to discuss the drama more at length or read what others have thought as it was airing. I think the link should be in the first post.
Also, please bear in mind that basically all subbing and translating is a labor of love from fans. So when you criticize it, please try to consider if you really feel strongly enough about the quality to risk discouraging such fans from subbing or translating. Personally, I'm also happy with the quality and speed of the guardian novel translation and the balance he has struck between these two ideals.

Thanks for info. Do you know when it was please? He looked young then.
The first post has all the info. It's under variety shows. I can't remember off the top of my head

It's a variety show episode. But Zhu Yi Long only played in some tiny drama bit of it where some girl goes back in time, they fall in love, then she leaves again, he didn't really participate in the variety part of it.

Someone better versed in the korean drama scene, is it known why there will be a new director? And will they be any good, because I loved the first season. And is the cinematographer the same, because that was gorgeous. Although I guess south korea has really good cinematographers overall.
This is basically court politics mixed with action thriller and horror, so good. I usually don't even watch horror or zombie stuff. I just can't wait for more people to watch it so I can have an outlet for my emotions, hahaha. I think it will become big like Train to Busan.

Wow! So intense. Gorgeous as well. I'm on episode 3 right now. So the new scholar who was sent for, I guess there must be a resurrection secret that happened 3 years ago.
Soup calamity guy's survival instinct is top notch.
I feel like I got a caffeine injection or something. I need to take pauses in between, it gets too intense.

I'd add that method actors can also be very annoying for the other members of cast and crew to deal with if they're very inflexible with it, and have a bad reputation because of it. So personally I think it's much better to take elements of it, like keeping a style of talking if you feel that otherwise you can't get into it, but not actually insisting that you are douzi and getting crew members into pyramid schemes or whatnot. Anyway, it's not like we know much about the technical aspects of acting, I think it's for him to experiment and have fun with. Based on his interviews he wants to try different things and evolve. And he wants to have a moment of fully transforming himself into a character without remembering himself (that can mean within the scene, not necessarily that he wants to live on set like that), so I hope he achieves it and enjoys it.

@biskotmeri I think you don't need to worry so much. People do view the characters through a biased lens, but I think it hasn't affected the actors that much. ZYL said something that he thinks Qi Heng doesn't believe that Ming Lan loves Gu Tingye, so that's why he tries to save her from him, since he failed her before. But once he finds out that Ming Lan does love, then he is relieved that his previous actions of failing to marry her didn't lead her to have an unhappy life. He's a great actor, he will surely continue to portray this character well. Also the overall quality of the drama is very good (I only have some minor nags about some plotting), and based on his gushing about the production in various interviews he really enjoyed working with this production team.
My review of his Phantacity performance as well as some other comments have been getting more likes since he appeared on this show, so I think he's gaining a lot of new fans, some of whom are digging through the archives to read about him.

@yinchanmyae1621Does the phrase he used mean method acting in chinese? Because from what I understood he just said he used to thoroughly prepare the role and the logic of the role beforehand (that doesn't have to mean method), whereas now he tries to leave more space for the director's vision and doesn't finish role creation on his own, but waits for director input.
It helps that he gets to work with better directors now.
-
@paopaolong I only saw some photos of him pulling funny faces in that spring festival show. Hopefully since he is so popular right now they'll include a lot of his bits in the final cut.
I'm going to watch that show with him anyway, even though probably for him it's a bit difficult because he has surely developed a lot during the 7 years, it's still a good thing for all the other people who worked on the show for it to be shown finally. Already the concept of a traffic detective is funny, and his character seems quite youthful and cheerful.
Lately I've been using the Ximalaya app to listen to some of his songs. It's very relaxing and puts me in a good mood. I needed some cheering up since experiments weren't working.

Hunan TV interview. I google translated the interview parts. (Usual warning about things maybe not being as I wrote them since I don't speak Chinese, also I didn't really bother to language correct as usual). I'll hide it behind the spoiler.
Spoilerzhu yi long once again became the focus of everyone
in the story of ming lan perfecting the elegant son of nobility
at the moment incarnates into a piano prince.
zyl: it's quite tense, but also very exciting. I performed like this for the first time. when Liang Bo wrote this song,
I don't know what his mood was like. but his song, sounds to me, I think his love of music, I can feel it purely
in this song.interviewer: it will be very difficult for you.
zyl: still singing. because there is no professional training. you don't have a professional and for the first time
I faced such a big new year's party, will feel. There are a variety of factors, so now it will be more stressful.interviewer: what type of role are you playing here?
zyl: i played the young lord qi heng.
interviewer: what type of character is it?
zyl: i think he is a. he has a good family environment. so he is actually. i immediately feel particularly in line with
this in the character background. very filial to parents, has multiple talents.zyl: in fact, qi heng seems to feel perfect now. in fact, he has a lot of depth. he is an awkward character. but everyone
will know when they watch the drama. qi heng has in most things my approval. there are some small things on his body, including
my discussion with the director. something to look for, for us. i think it should be like this. but it may be, I don't
quite agree with this one. he is very young, so he attitude towards something. how to handle some things, may not be so
mature.
interview: not mature enough to be extreme, still how.
zyl: in fact, qi heng. i think he just has a good family background. then from a young age his life is very bright, very
positive. in fact he hasn't encountered too much difficulty. hasn't encountered so called frustration. so when he is faced
with any problems, he will be more idealistic. he is a. he has some literati. he has everything going for him, he thinks this
is as it should be. his ideal is a beautiful one.interview: it's not hard for you to play a young lord.
zyl: to play a young lord. if it is generally not too difficult. but you said if it's specifically assigned to each person.
he still has his difficulties in it.
interviewer: possible behavior, he is just a physical performance. but that kind of charm is harder to convey.
how do you find the feeling of the ancient lord?
zyl: i think etiquette. etiquette and a way of speaking. this is how we approach from the outside, how to play an ancient
person. because we were at the time of the whole show, there was a teacher of ceremonies on the set. so you will always
be there. like after this scene is completed we will tell you. in what time, what etiquette to use. what should you do to
be more in line with the etiquette of that time. so after you add these actions you suddenly have a sense of ritual. will
bring out the ancient character. let's bring some feelings through external things.
zyl: this time is the first time for me for real light. that is, I have never played that the night scene is a scene at home.
really only candles. without any auxiliary light. there will be no lights for these. also completely using the candle gives
you the ambient light, including your face. this is for me a very new thing. however it increased my sense of belief and
experience. you are in an environment like this. you can feel the time when you talk to others. in that kind of environment
what kind of state it is.
interviewer: after he has an ancient trace, afterward you can find the state of the ancient life.
zyl: especially easy to believe this stipulated plot and scene.zyl: for example this scene is written inside the study. seeing parents talk, then how do I go outside. if you are the original,
you will first after the study is finished, shoot again outside. but the director of this sometimes asked me to play inside
then I went out directly. on the whole big scene i went straight to the outside after i finished playing inside.
interviewer: similar feeling to playing in phantacity
zyl: yes. will. for these characters. these consecutive scenes. the coherence and experience of the characters will be
enhanced a lot. and he won't pay too much attention. be sure to give you a good location. you can give money to this point.
follow the feeling. as long as you follow the overall schedule of shooting the play. as long as you're walking around this
position. the photographer will do his best to catch your state at the time.interviewer: i saw some original fan that this character is a sad person. where is his sadness?
zyl: actually in the drama we discussed with the director and didn't deliberately create him how much tragedy qi heng has.
we feel like he is a big time environment. he is such a character, a character who has been pushed by fate. he is more
helpless and jealous inside.zyl: because this drama, because everyone knows qi heng, this character's and ming lan's emotional line. it's a very oppressive
matter. discussing with the director. we did not deliberately create a very fixed, we try not to let him abuse it
very much. i feel like the director very deliberately did it like this. we follow the emotions of the characters. then slowly push
to that place. what should he do? what was his mood at the time? will not deliberately render this thing. more real. try to
be more realistic. express that emotion.interviewer: in fact there is no shortage of suddenly popular people in the entertainment industry. your own experience.
what kind of feeling is this half a year? some people say that like a roller coaster. some people say how.
zyl: actually quite. I think because I had before 8, 9 years, before this. then i have been slowly filming. so the mentality
is still relatively calm. not too big for myself. in fact, it is more busy than before. and there is more choice. this is what i can see and feel.zyl: in fact qi heng, this character seems to feel perfect now, he is still with faults.
zyl: after we graduated from that time can only play sons. these are some of these roles that wait for us to arrive. when 27-28 years old.
then everyone started to like especially young people.zyl: i don't think there is any desired role. every character can, you can get some nutrients from that character.
zyl: it's very interesting to perform this thing. i liked to perform at the time. suddenly find that you are this person.
can pass another character. to express one's emotions. when venting your emotions. you think it's really interesting.
in the process of performance you don't care about releasing your own nature. still reach a sketch fragment. then the animal
stimulates this series of training. then you let yourself slowly dig to understand yourself.
interviewer: your class is very interesting. not the kind that just as they graduated they passed a certaain work and become a hit.
are all thick and thin.
zyl: we are all better. it's time to go to school. we are all down to earth. don't go out to film in the middle. everyone is
staying in the class. go to class every day. every day, everyone is in the rehearsal room. studying the piece. then write some
sketches yourself. return performance things. everyone is rehearsing every day. this is the state. this is basically the case
for four years.
interviewer: why are you so honest? because it is generally like a student of the film school. especially learning performances.
there will be many opportunities to shoot during schooling. I've even heard that some do advertisements. why do you guys
keep a low heart, stable in school.
zyl: because the teacher is like this. so i said that we were very special in our class at the time. obedient. and there is
such a good teacher. so we trusted him at that time. because when you go out, actually. many times it is a release process.
but if you don't take yourself before you go out. full of enough words. if there are too few weapons after going out. it may be
difficult to adjust to a fast pace of filming.zyl: actually i'm at the age. because you see when we just graduated, when it comes out why do we say this group of people.
is 85 - 88 or so. my own analysis will be a little later. because we just graduated. at the time everyone likes to watch teacher zhang jia.
interviewer: uncle
zyl: yes. like to watch that type of play. after we graduated from that time, can only play sons. these are the roles.
so you can hardly stand out.then just as we become 27-28 years old. then everyone started to like especially young people.
interviewer: fresh meat.
zyl: so for us. we talk privately. will feel that we were at that time in a relatively embarrassing period.
interviewer: in the so called growth and rise period. it is actually a time when it's not in time. he is staggering the
development of that era. but now you feel that you got the best time?
zyl: i think. we talked about ourselves. haven't complained or are like. we are all, anyway everyone can have a movie. then
I like to do it again. we will do our best. go and do this thing well. then find out now, maybe we are talking about it
sometimes. maybe the actor is going to stick to it. you don't want to care about anything. what do you like now? what are
you chasing now? you keep your attitude towards the show. what you want to do. what kind of performer is it?
what kind of actor. just stick to your own path and walk slowly.interviewer: for example in the processing of some supporting role, your little thoughts, focus on details, it may even be invisible to others.
then the audience passed a scene, he doesn't know what you are doing for it. you have always insisted on persisting. you won't doubt it in the middle.
is it worth it for me to stick to it?
zyl: I don't consider whether it's worth it or not. because since school, this is your habit of creating. in fact,
you see the teacher saying so. there are no natural actors, only small roles. in this regard. I don't think there is any small role. each character
may.. you are drawing some nutrients from the character. how can he help you? may develop some of your other performances. i think the actor
is in the process of performance constantly accumulating his own experience. know-how. then maybe in the next person
you can make him richer. more full to show his many aspects.zyl: I just like to talk to the director. I anyway generally like to chat with everyone.
interviewer: directors generally like actors to talk to them. not afraid to chat. you said whether you are to some degree slow.
zyl: yes. sometimes at gatherings I will be a little slow.
interviewer: what kind of pulling the director, then the following scene i kept talking to him. there are different
possibilities of how to create it?
zyl: because i understand it especially. the director has to control the whole. whole big world views and the whole big.
actors will often explore in their own role, to arrange the logic within. so you think a little more. but actually
the director said when you need to control the whole situation you are actually.. I am also adjusting myself now to trust the
director more. yes. trust the director. he will try to make your character more smooth. to be more fitting into the overall
environment.zyl: i think now when the actor is 30 years old, actually you just started. for shaping characters, no matter what
the so-called texture, the depth of the character, in fact it's just the beginning. have the opportunity to show a little bit.
interviewer: 30 years old this year, other people say about the age of 30, that you will feel your own self at 30. is there
any difference?
zyl: this year I feel that for the most part follows the script. namely you're learning to perform. this all you can read in other
people's autobiography. something you will feel. emerging after needing real life experience. I have to hone myself in the crew.
then after the age of 30, you seem to get a good chance after. you suddenly have a better, these seem to be, it seems to be like
a well-arranged feeling. sometimes there is such an illusion. actually this way such a long time people are constantly
encouraging you. then at some point someone will come out to help you. you don't know why. so I'm very grateful for this road.
you're accompanied by people neither relative nor friend. encourage you. to help you. Really hoping that you can go, some better people
like this. he has been motivating you to move forward invisibly. inspire you to go. to express yourself. it's very interesting, I think.
I didn't explain what is known as so hard to bear. or how? relatively speaking there will be some small bumps on the way.
but I think that is nothing.zyl: in fact I want to be simpler. I feel that life, I really hope for it to be simpler. a little bit pure. because how much to earn
or to achieve a good state, this is not what I want. I think an as an actor you only need to have a certain amount of support to have a good life.
this is not a particularly difficult thing. as long as you don't desire too much. So I hope to be able to film well, live better
to leave some good characters, leave for everyone a character. let the people behind you or the people in front of you all like you.
take delight in talking about some plays, a mix of roles.-

This is a new interview with English subs (among others). It's a really nice serious interview about acting. Near the end of it he says that he wishes he could once experience fully transforming into a character. So I think method acting is something he's curious about, but not something that he currently practices. Also, he has said on many occasions that it's easy for him to come out of character. Anyway, I don't think there's a need to put one acting method on a pedestal above others. What matters to the audience are results, the methods are something for the actors to work and experiment with.

@BreezeCYes, I really like it. I spoil myself with the chinese ones, but mostly only watch once episodes are subbed. His character is so sweet and so tragic. I didn't expect it to be this sad. I like the drama, the only complaint I have until now is that there were 3 occasions of saving Ming Lan in 3 episodes recently, and that to me felt like it didn't really belong in the genre, once would've been enough for me. But other than that I'm really enjoying it. All of the actors are really good, I only had one instance where the acting brought me out of the drama (a fairly minor character in a temporary plotline). And I think Ming Lan is a really awesome protagonist. I think the subs come out fast, it's normal for them to be 1-2 episodes behind the raw, it's probably in the licencing contract. After the episodes come out, it's subbed within a day.

People just living their own lives I guess. I'm sure people still watch any good stuff he's in, they're just a bit more laid back about the support and focused on their own successes.
