  1. I wanted to remind my creative writers on the forum that intellectual property is someone's hard work, sweat and tears. Plagiarism is stealing someone's work word for word and easily caught, there are content plagiarism checkers. Infringement of someone's intellectual property is stealing their ideas/concept. This is like writing a scene and a series of events but changing the names/locations/or even which character goes through it. 

     

    As I am reading fanfic, I see blatant infringement going on. These platforms may not enforce copyright/intellectual property infringement, but authors of original works may choose to do so. Everything is time stamped when you post chapters, so there is no use fighting who stole from whom.

     

    As fanfic is an iffy arena, since it is all inspired by original works, please still be mindful of your fellow creative writers, always cite TQ for her original characters/names and any other creative writers you took inspiration from.

    They're of different generation as mother and son. They're also like friends though. :) And sometimes it's BGG who is the parent. :lol: I like that previously, FJ told DH that she would want their fox cubs to play with her.

    Bc priorities! :joy: At least Grandpa DH can go back to his lazy ways with the children entertaining their mother now. :wub:

    I'm just imagining what if DH outlives BFJ. He is the oldest of the immortals and he's still living so I wouldn't be surprised if DH would live longer. The grief he will experience will most likely cause a calamity and of course he doesn't want that to happen so he might choose to die along with her if that did happen. 

    Well, according to the script/scene (that was cut), DH was able to transfer his remaining cultivation/fairy energy to save FJ in the starlit ward. I imagine he would just continue doing so. :joy: or he will find a way to follow her into nothingness :bawling: but that will be hundreds of thousands of years after we die. So we will not live to see the day. :heartbreak:

    The parents of Zhi He. Names aren't mentioned though in the translated text of the book? It's not mentioned either if they're related to MY's parents.

     

    Donghua dazed out and at length replied, “I was a parentless child. In the beginning when I first sprang forth from the Blue Sea, I didn't have enough fairy energy and was at the mercy of wild beasts. Zhihe's parents brought me home in sympathy and raised me up out of good grace. Ninety-thousand years later, just before they passed away, they finally conceived Zhi'he. Since they entrusted her to me, of course I had to care for her...” (PB1, p266)

     

    As for roughly how old is Zhi He, from the time DH has to look after her:

     

    ...On the night she was leaving Jiuchongtian, Zhi’he in a red bridal gown came to her. Pretending to be kind, she gently petted her head and said, “I’ve been with foster brother for 90,000 years. He was the one who raised me since the day I was born, and today I am finally going to marry... (PB1, p56)

    The mathematics in this universe is mind boggling. :sweatingbullets: it sounds like DH was adopted when he was around 180,000 years old? Or it is way too early for my brain to function properly.:joy:

    Except for Princess JieLu..the rest of them were pretty useless and brainless.

     

    DH's admirers  VS  FJ's admirers

     

    If compared to Quality's , FJ's likely win but if compared to Quantity's, DH's win..he is the oldest among living immortal while FJ just a baby cub.

     

     

    I just can't. ROFL :joy:

    I seriously think that the only person who can really handle FJ is DH. Even her Dad can't manage her!

    DH wishes he can manage her. He lost her for 200 years and she can run circles around his head. Even laying their dying she still told him that he better be good and listen to her from now on. :joy: DH is the only one being managed in their relationship.

    Very well executed move by her actually. We aren't talking about CY, we aren't talking about ML. On Weibosphere, viewers and book fans are still talking about her, her fans are still defending her. Bad publicity is publicity nevertheless, as it is better to be talked about rather than to be forgotten I guess.

    Ah, but the Chinese entertainment industry is notorious for typecasting. Had she been smart enough to grab a protagonist role of Cheng Yu, she would have taken herself out of the "other woman/antagonist" role. Rarely do we see typcasted villains succeed in main lead roles this far into their career. Plus, her camp/supporters aren't big enough to propel her to a main lead role at this point.

     

    Look at ZH, she literally ended up in the same role as the one she played in AoL, but the actual actress is so adorable with her weibo back and forth with the other members. She owned up to the annoying antagonist role in those quips, and everyone loved it.

     

    AL had to lay low bc of all the incited drama. She had a golden opportunity for good publicity to further her career, not to go down in infamy. Bad publicity will make casting directors think twice about giving her any role. Her professionalism is seriously lacking.

    I may agree that AL maybe after exposure to make herself more well-known in the industry. After all, she feel that since she is the one that own the copyright of ELOD, she should be having more scene time in the drama, although now that she is unable to become FJ. 

     

    So... She would definitely not choose the role of Cheng Yu since it is not one of the bigger role in ELOD and only limited scene time. Miao Lou or JH would be a good role to capture the exposure as there are more scene time and has bigger role in the drama (although still a smaller role than FJ).

     

    But... ML's ending would be similar to the novel and having to die in the end. Whereas JH ending can be change to become positive as compare to the negative of the novel. And that is what the production has done by making her changed and becoming a better person. 

     

    Anyway, I still think being ML would be better choice for AL. Given it enable the artists to show out more on their acting skills as compare to JH. But if AL is looking more on exposure and scene time,  then JH would be what she choosen instead. 

    Very short-sighted of the actress and her team. Cheng Yu has potential of becoming her own lead character with Lian Song, ML was a better range of acting showcase. But like I said, Chinese entertainment industry puts more stock into looking pretty rather than smarts.

    There are special kinds of snowflakes who actually like JH in ELOD.. unfortunately i encountered few..

     

    I never understood why the actress AL wanted to play JH?

     

    I know it was her dream to play FJ, wen she couldn't she just wanted to be a part of ELOD by playing another role.. any sane person would have picked the role of "Cheng yu" if they wanted to be loved by audience by playing a positive role..  plus Cheng yu is cute like FJ, but AL picked the role of Jiheng while wanting to look good so they had to change the characterisation of JH to an extent..Such a dumb woman!! 

    Maybe she, AL, has a really unhealthy obsession with DH because of her love of the novel? Cheng Yu would be any sane person's choice, but screen time wise, there are rarely any interactions with DH.

     

    It seems spiteful, wanting/accepting the change to the narrative "JH is a legitimate contender for DH's love". We all know she loved FJ & DH when she owned the rights, to turn around and accept the rewritten character of JH (giving her the benefit of the doubt, wasn't her idea to rewrite the character), still seems like she wasn't very loyal to her love for the novel. She double downed when she defended the erroneous characterization of JH in the drama. She had such potential to rock the baddy role, like ML did hers. I mean, so many praises for ML even though she was mostly tied up in a tree. :joy: AL, as an actress needs to up her game and her education of the characters she chooses to play, if she  wants to make a long career in this industry. Unfortunately, Chinese actors/actresses, especially the new wave are not known for being the most educated. They need bare minimum testing grades to be accepted into the schools/programs.

    That would be fun! But how do we do that?

    On another note. Why is it that there are only female antagonists in this universe that cause such a great impact of personal loss/grief to the main leads? Rarely do we see true male antagonists that are of that caliber. Sexism or are females just that badass even when being bad?:joy:

    Did anyone discuss the disappearance of FJ's white hair pin before?

    If I remembered right, FJ wore the white hair pin to mourn for Ye Qingti. In the book, DH had changed the white flowers to pink (?) flowers. I thought the drama skipped this detail. But here is a video clip on weibo:

     

    https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4494778622646872

     

    It highlights when the hairpin fell out, DH waved his arm to make it disappear. He probably hated the idea of FJ mourning for another male. 

    The problem is, this still doesn't explain how FJ could so easily forget about it, not look for it, or even find a replicate for it, not to mention the bracelet. She spent so much time mourning for YQT, it seemed heartless of the writers to just let it be forgotten in that manner.

    One of the dresses is purple, right? :love:

     

    I wonder if there will be plenty of places to eat out after quarantine. Coz I rather think the long months of no business might be hard to some owners.

    There might be. My color palette has purple in honor of mumsy and grandmumsy. But besides the traditional red gown and the western white, I have no idea. Mumsy went to town and during this lockdown, she is getting more made.:joy:

     

    I hope the restaurants are still open! I have never been great at meal planning.

    Agreed. He did what he thought was the best solution. He didn't want to surrender to fate. Otherwise it would be just another TMOPB DH story all over again. 

     

    On another note, why is DH so chubby here? :joy:

    Researchers say that you gain weight when you are in love, especially if you have met "the one", you no longer feel the need to maintain weight to attract a mate. In my case, I am about to marry a foodie, so he made me gain weight by feeding me too well :joy:

    Father God gave Ye Hua half his cultivation to help his spirit survive. That is the only reason he ascended so early. 
     

    She will ascent first to high immortal around 70,000 years (around her aunt’s time) and around 140,000 to 160,000

    years to high god. I am using Bai Qian’s

    Thanks. Hopefully if there will an official English translation published, it will be one whole book.

    I sincerely hope not. Judging from the official English translation of TMOPB, the novel was not as well detailed, and the translation was very lacking in terms of actual interpretation. The English translation right now for PB was done over a period of 1.5 years I believe and incredibly detailed, with footnotes that explains the antiquated proverbs so well.

     

    Those without a general knowledge of the genre would still be able to make sense of the nuance.

    Hello. Out of curiosity, why is the pillow book split into 2 parts? Romance of the 3 kingdoms I can understand. Those were 2 thick volumes. But the pillow books combined should be ok, right?

    Generally novel releases in parts is up to the author. Perhaps she was having trouble finishing the last half, or her publishing company saw it as an opportunity to make more in sales.

    @vivi0303 I also used to enjoy viki comments so much up until the last few EPs where some of them kept saying DH is selfish, stupid, childish and not prioritizing FJ. I was like "What?! Are we even watching the same drama here?" and just had to turn the comments off :triumph:

    Definitely little kids who have never had responsibilities upon their shoulders for a single day in their lives making those comments!:joy:  I am so good at tuning those people out. I mostly pay attention to the comments during the comedy scenes. The fans are so creative.
