Oh man, scenes that were cut from the movie are starting to come out, perhaps? Cutting this out is just evil!! More wet Yu Huai is a good thing.

Oh dear, you know I feel partially guilty because... I like the sight, yet he's still barely legal! :lol: Ugghhh but why oh why did this PRECIOUS scene get cut!

 

I read some C-netizens complained that Yu Huai & Geng Geng's love story seems abrupt. Like, how & when do their feelings deepen? Personally I could see how their feelings develop. But apparently some cut scenes (including this one above) were supposed to show the process. Due to the time limit, they're gone. Although I would LOVE to see the cut scenes, but really I didn't have any trouble at all in concluding. 

 

Btw, @epinklyn and @mei2018 did you watch to movie? If you did, what's your impression?

Another project?? Seems he'll do voice acting (awww, no face! I'm greedy hehe) for an animated film. But yay, more Arthur!! 

 

Yayyyyy for another project! This is indeed The Year of Arthur! Hehehe... We're going to see him -- and listen to that smooth voice of his -- a lot! Watched the animation trailer, and I thought the character resembles Arthur. True, @mei2018 it's a fantastic opportunity for him to hone his voice acting skills. Oh how I wish he could dub in English too!

I saw a news about the casting of a Chinese-American actor on their 20s for the new movie of Marvel. The actor need to be able to speak standard American-English.

I think the description suits Arthur well. May be he should go for the casting ^^

 

Is that Shang-Chi? Because  the casting was posted on Cfensi, a while ago. I remember the blogger suggested few names, his including.

Off topic: upon revisiting, I'm surprised Song Weilong is an actual martial artist. He's been studying martial art since elementary school & spent a year in a Shaolin temple. I would've never guessed it since he's very typical pretty boy, appearance wise. We should never judge a book by its cover indeed!

I havent watched it fully yet, since i cant keep the file on my cellphone, too big for my phone LOL, i wanted to see the kissing scene but freeze LOL! I really see the different between YH in beginning and middle and ending, he was bright, proud and little arrogant, and with GG present, he started to be a caring person and sometime become a clueless boy, and after his mom sick, he became a melancholist person, have no faith anymore in future.

 

I cant review HLD's part since i havent watched it completely.

I honestly don't know myself, since I'm not into comics & superheroes hahaha.... but here's the character's description as per Wiki (beware, it's pretty long, I'm too lazy to make a shorter version hehe...)

 

Spoiler

 

Master of Kung Fu[edit]

Shang-Chi was born in the Honan province of the People's Republic of China, and is the son of Fu Manchu, the Chinese mastermind who has repeatedly attempted world conquest and had a thirst for blood. His mother was a white American woman genetically selected by his father. Shang-Chi was raised and trained from birth in the martial arts by his father and his instructors. Believing his father was a benevolent humanitarian, Shang-Chi was sent on a mission to London to murder Dr. Petrie, who his father said was evil and a threat to peace. After successfully assassinating Petrie, he encountered Fu Manchu's archenemy, Sir Denis Nayland Smith, who revealed to Shang-Chi his father's true nature. After meeting his mother in New York City for the truth, Shang-Chi realized that Fu Manchu was evil. Shang-Chi fought his way past Fu Manchu's guards at his New York headquarters, telling his father that they were now enemies and vowing to put an end to his evil schemes.[9] Shang-Chi subsequently fought his adoptive brother Midnight,[10] and then first met his close ally Black Jack Tarr.[11] Shang-Chi became an ally of Sir Denis Nayland Smith, and opposed Fu Manchu, and battled the Si-Fan assassins.[12]

With Smith, Tarr, Reston, and Leiko Wu, his love interest, he formed Freelance Restorations, Ltd, which was based in Stormhaven Castle, Scotland.[13] Shang-Chi finally witnessed the death of Fu Manchu.[14] Not long after his father's death, Shang-Chi quit Freelance Restorations, forsook his life as an adventurer, and retired to a village in remote Yang-Tin, China, to live as a fisherman.[15]

Return[edit]

Some time later, Shang-Chi returned from China and rejoined Tarr, Reston and Wu. They battled Argus' terroristic group, formed to cause the United States to act more aggressively against all terrorists. In order to gain information, Argus had Wu tortured, cutting off her left hand as a message. She was rescued by Shang-Chi and the others, but not before he suffered a dose of a slow-acting poison.[16] Before the poison could kill him, he was cured of its effects by Fu Manchu's elixir vitae.[17]

Heroes for Hire[edit]

As a member of the restored Heroes for Hire, Shang-Chi had put his strength of character at the service of their teammates. Humbug, turning against the heroes, tries to double cross both his friends and the "Earth Hive" of insects, joining the Hive,[volume & issue needed] and offering Colleen Wing and Tarantula to a lifetime of tortures.[volume & issue needed] Even so, when a dying Humbug begs his friend to mercy kill him, Shang-Chi refuses, until he finds that Humbug actually had no qualms to torture Tarantula, if it meant less suffering for Colleen.[volume & issue needed] Shang-Chi then snaps his neck and leaves with the catatonic Tarantula, ashamed of what he believed he had to become, a soulless murderer.[18]

Still working for MI6, he goes on to collaborate with Pete Wisdom of MI-13 in facing the Welsh dragon, which had turned amnesiac and become a human crimelord. Shang-Chi had been told by Wisdom that the dragon (being inherently noble) would go free once it remembered its true origins, and was embittered to find this had been a lie.[19] He became the tutor of a young Earth-616 Killraven.[20]

Heroic Age[edit]

In the Shadowland storyline, Shang-Chi is one of the heroes fighting the Hand's ninjas. He later works together with Spider-Man against Mister Negative and temporarily takes Mister Negative's powers until Shang is being brought back to normal by Spider-Man.[21]

In Secret Avengers, Steve Rogers tracks Shang-Chi down to help turn back the Shadow Council, which has resurrected Shang-Chi's father, Zheng Zu, and employed the Hai-Dai, a squad of assassins, to hunt Shang-Chi down.[22][23]

Per the instructions of the new Madame Web, Shang-Chi has begun training Spider-Man in kung fu to help him compensate for the recent loss of his spider-sense.[24]

Marvel NOW![edit]

During the Marvel NOW! relaunch, Shang-Chi joins the Avengers after being recruited by Captain America and Iron Man.[25]

When the Illuminati were exposed to have tampered with the mind of Captain America and attempting to destroy worlds threatening Earth as part of the Incursions as seen in the Time Runs Outstoryline, Shang-Chi joined a faction of the Avengers led by Sunspot.[volume & issue needed] Sunspot's Avengers, having taken control over A.I.M., discovered that "Incursion points" (points where an Incursion world that is about to hit Earth can be seen) were causing a massive number of physical mutations among those who stumbled upon the locations.[volume & issue needed] Sending Shang-Chi to an incursion point in Japan,[volume & issue needed] Shang-Chi was exposed to cosmic-level radiation that transformed Shang-Chi into a mutate capable of creating duplicates of himself.[volume & issue needed]

Secret Empire[edit]

During the Secret Empire storyline, Shang-Chi was found to have been a prisoner of HYDRA in Madripoor following HYDRA's takeover of the United States. After Hive and Gorgon are defeated, the Tony Stark A.I. finds him and he states that he does not have the Cosmic Cube shard anymore. A flashback revealed that Emma Frost took the Cosmic Cube shard from him when he was unconscious.[26] Shang-Chi was later seen with the Underground when they and other superheroes are fighting HYDRA's forces in Washington DC.[27]

Powers and abilities[edit]

Although it has never been determined exactly how extensive Shang-Chi's fighting skills are, he has beaten numerous superhuman opponents. Shang-Chi is classed as an athlete but he is one of the best non-superhumans in martial arts and has dedicated much of his life to the art, being referred to by some as the greatest empty-handed fighter and practitioner of kung fu alive. Much of his physical abilities seem to stem from his mastery of chi, which often allows him to surpass physical limitations of normal athletes. He has also demonstrated the ability to dodge bullets from machine guns and sniper rifles, and is able to deflect gunshots with his bracers. Shang-Chi is also highly trained in the arts of concentration and meditation, and is an expert in various hand weapons including swords, staves, kali sticks, nunchaku, and shuriken.

He is also very in tune with the chi emitted by all living beings, to the point where he was able to detect a psionically-masked Jean Grey by sensing her energy.[28]

During his time with the Avengers, Shang-Chi was given special equipment by Tony Stark, including a pair of bracelets that allowed him to focus his chi in ways that increased his strength[29] and a pair of repulsor-powered nunchaku.[30]

Following exposure to the cosmic radiation from the Incursions, Shang-Chi was able to create an unlimited number of duplicates of himself.[volume & issue needed]

 

 

 

I put it in the spoiler tag, so those who don't care about it can easily skip it, heheheh...

 

 

I'm happy to note that My Best Summer has broken the 400 million yuan mark! It also remains in the box office Top 5, four weeks after its premiere. It may not have flashy numbers, but its sustaining power alone to me makes it worth being on Netflix. I really, really hope the producer considers it. It's certainly more entertaining than a number of Asian rom-coms there (yes, I'm looking at you, Always Be My Maybe).

I have not watched it fully yet because after 20 mins, the clip has np sound. However.from the part, that I watched, I like it. He and HLD are natural high school kids in it. So adorable.

 

I do not know much about Marvel project. Just saw it mentioned in weibo. Hopefully if it is a good script, he will try casting for it.

However, the big production does not necessary have a good script.

Agreed - for me it was that scene where they chase each other after the moms visit that sort of puts their love for each other out there, even if it's still unspoken. Now what you don't see as much, because you're never in his thoughts until close to the end, is how his feelings develop, which starts at the very beginning of the story. But you can definitely see it in all their interactions, no doubt. I would've loved to have seen more, are you kidding me? lol, but I agree that it was not necessary for the story.

I'm beyond happy with all these news. Now just need a bit more posts on his Instagram and the translations to pick up again for 将夜 on webnovel.com and I'd be an even happier auntie. :)

We've got an English review of My Best Summer!

https://sino-cinema.com/2019/06/28/review-my-best-summer-2019/

 

Spoiler

 

My Best Summer

最好的我们

China, 2019, colour, 2.35:1, 109 mins.

Director: Zhang Disha 张笛沙.

Rating: 7/10.

Film version of a well-liked book and TVD is strongly cast and packaged, tweaking the high-school cliches.

STORY

 

Wuhan city, central China, Sep 2008. After applying for Zhenhua High School, the top one in the city, average student Geng Geng (He Landou) is surprised to get into its senior high. Also there is her childhood friend Jian Dan (Wang Chuyi), who introduces her new friend Jiang Niannian (Zhou Chuchu); together the three girls form a self-styled “dunces’ group” in Class Five. Geng Geng ends up being a deskmate to Yu Huai (Chen Feiyu), a brilliant but arrogant pupil whom she thinks is completely out of her league. (In 2018, seven years after graduating from Zhenhua and leaving the city, Geng Geng finds herself back in Wuhan for work reasons. Jian Dan tells her she can attend the annual class reunion party, which is to be held soon, and that Yu Huai is also back from the US.) Despite their intellectual differences, Geng Geng and Yu Huai are drawn to each other, and he promises to “protect” her. She likes him but keeps bungling attempts to show it. The pair finally bond when Yu Huai’s widowed mother (Hui Yinghong) tries to get Geng Geng moved to a different desk in class, as she perceives the girl as a bad influence on her son’s future, but Yu Huai stands up for Geng Geng. Her respect for him also grows after he saves the school’s top student, geeky Sheng Huainan (Dong Li) from humiliating himself in front of the whole school when he declares his love for the school’s beauty, Ye Zhanyan. (At the reunion dinner Yu Huai turns up late and sits next to Geng Geng.) As the class nears the end of its third year and the university entrance exam looms, Geng Geng worries about being separated from Yu Huai if they end up at different universities. Against her parents’ wishes, she chooses to specialise in Science to be with Yu Huai, and he helps her with her studies. But after the exam finishes, he fails to turn up at an agreed meeting spot, and she finds he’s left the city, supposedly for the US.

 

REVIEW

 

Coming only three years after iQiyi’s highly regarded online TV drama version, My Best Summer 最好的我们 (literally “The Best of Us”) has had a lot to prove as a film adaptation of the same novel. But looked at objectively – either with prior knowledge of the TVD or not – this first feature by scriptwriter Zhang Disha 张笛沙 is way more than just a decent job, perpetually tweaking the high-school/retro formula in interesting ways and served by a terrific cast of youngsters (for once playing roles near their own ages) as well as by very smooth scoring and editing. The new cast is very different from the TVD’s but makes sense both in its own terms and as a movie, as well as boasting an especially fine performance by petite He Landou 何蓝逗, 19, in her big-screen starring debut after some lively lead roles in online movies (Gone for Nothing 青春喂了狗, 2016; Monkey King Reincarnation 盖世英雄, 2018). Mainland box office has been very warm, raking in almost RMB400 million in three weeks and with some puff still left.

 

Jiangxi-born Zhang, 38, worked on the scripts of military drama A Mysterious Bullet 近距离击杀 (2014), road movie Breakup Buddies 心花路放 (2014) and “age travel” comedy-romance Once Again 二次初恋 (2017), as well as on the production of offbeat rom-com Go Away, Mr. Tumor! 滚蛋吧!肿瘤君 (2015) and buddy comedy Crazy Alien 疯狂的外星人 (2019), so the China Academy of Art and Beijing Film Academy graduate already has a background in some genre-bending. Add to the mix management/film-making guru Huang Bin 黄斌 as producer and co-writer, and you have an alternative take on the novel that’s smartly condensed and sticks to the same plot and central idea while never pretending to have the same detail or character breadth as the 24-episode drama series (see poster, left).

 

The film opens in high spirits in Wuhan, central China, in autumn 2008 – a pivotal year for the country, with the Beijing Olympics, Shenzhou VII space launch and (more important for the teeny heroine) the seventh album by Taiwan boyband Mayday 五月天. The bubbly, totally generic tone is continued as she teams up with two other duncy girl-pals and ends up sharing a desk with a brilliant but arrogant male student for whom, after the usual spatting, she develops a serious but clumsy shine. Equally diminutive as the TVD’s lead actress Tan Songyun 谭松韵, but not as conventionally cute, He has her own subtle style that’s more attuned to the demands of the big screen, registering her character’s mood swings from embarrassment to anger, and also convincingly playing the same character in 2018. She’s pretty well matched by Chen Feiyu 陈飞宇 (son of director Chen Kaige 陈凯歌 and actress Chen Hong 陈红, prominently thanked in the end titles), who also plays a character around his real age and isn’t just a pretty poster-boy for the heroine’s fantasies.

 

Unfortunately, in a story that’s meant to be a twosome about temporal mismatching – “then you were at your best, now I’m at my best: the times when we were at our best were separated by a whole youth” – the roles aren’t equally dramatised, with He’s emotions minutely detailed but Chen’s more enigmatic character never given a convincing reason for behaving the way he does, especially at the end. It’s the major weakness in an otherwise slickly packaged and well-balanced movie. Some supporting characters get shortish shriff – the heroine’s parents, the hero’s mother (tartly played by Hong Kong veteran Hui Yinghong 惠英红 [Kara Hui] in just a couple of scenes) and one of the BFFs who has a crush on the class teacher – but that’s par for the course in a feature-film version that has to be driven by its main leads.

 

Though the situations and whole setting are totally manufactured according to genre conventions, Zhang & Co.’s tweaks pay off time and again: a National Day school singing competition packs a genuinely inspirational punch as it’s used to cement the leads’ relationship as well as to solve a more immediate problem, and the leads’ temporary farewell on the eve of their exams is equally moving for its simplicity. The grand finale doesn’t quite live up to expectations after such earlier sequences, knocking a point off the movie’s final score, but Summer is still streets ahead of the average high-school rom-com. Among the supports, Zhou Chuchu 周楚濋 stands out as the more extrovert of the heroine’s two BFFs and Fang Wenqiang 方文强 (who played the same role in the TVD) is again fine as the class teacher, handling his farewell speech with a quiet dignity.

 

The original novel by Bayue Chang’an 八月长安 – literally “Chang’an [ancient Xi’an] in August”, pen name of Harbin-born writer Liu Wanhui 刘婉荟, 31 – was her final one in a high-school trilogy, and was published in book form in 2013 (see cover, left). The TVD, directed by Liu Chang 刘畅 and, like the novel, known in English as With You, was released online by iQiyi from 8 Apr 2016. The plot’s running joke about how the lead characters were made for each other is based on the fact that their two names, Geng Geng and Yu Huai, when put together can be translated as “Losing Sleep over Yu Huai”, as well as sounding exactly like a four-character phrase that means “nursing a grudge”.

At the end, I like to think that he heard the story on the radio, and she texted him about meeting up, and that was his wake-up call to finally snap out of that sadness and realize what he's missing out on. 

 

The build-up on the rest of the story we discussed already, but if there are any faults it was in the script and editorial choices. More screen time and depth of story for YH, please! Plus, isn't there a thing such as love at first sight? 

 

 

 

On a separate note, if you haven't seen this video, do it! We don't seem him as relaxed and animated often, and this is a great one for that!

A description from Friend:

 

"Omg that clip, hahaha.  It must be from that toddlers show.  I like how the others on the show call him "our oldest son".  I don't know in what context they are having this conversation and I don't get 100 percent of it.  But Here's a gist of what they were saying:

 

I think as part of the show they get a daily stipend of spending money.

Cfy: if I give you bonus footage(?, not sure what those words meant, just my interpretation), will you double our money? So that we can have better dinners. I am thinking of the kids, really. Lol (right, for the kids, sure)

Other person: already gave you guys plenty of money today.

Cfy: but we used it for the car rental

 

Some cross and they were laughing.
Other person: our female producer would like to have a bonus footage
Other person: okay, our oldest son, it's all up to you now
Cfy: okay, when I take a shower tonight, you can put a go pro in there ( what?! Lol), but only film the top half though!
Other people laughing: good good, we can do that

 

Yes, he's willing to sell his body for food, the kid knows where his priorities are lol"

Agree. The writing and editing are the main issues of the movie. The story is told from Geng Geng's perspective, but it doesn't mean they couldn't add more details to Yu Huai's character and story, especially because of the changes they made him (from the book and the drama). Arthur was great with what's given to him and I'm happy it was recognized by the critic. I'm impressed with the different body language he displays after the 7 year separation. The author mentions his sitting next to her at the reunion dinner. Although he doesn't elaborate on that, I'm wondering if he's referring to the body language. Yu Huai was almost whispering talking to her; he was hesitant, unsure, feeling inferior, and at the same time he's desperate to see her again.

 

This movie definitely needs to be on Netflix.

Official announcement from CFY Studio: So he is going to shoot a movie on July 4th in Beijing...

 

 

Isn't it CKG's movie with LHR, Sophie and Vicky? I wonder how long the shooting will take. Then he'll dub the Snowman Romance/Abominable animation. Boy sure is super busy!

Thank you so much! I've seen the clip but of course I couldn't understand the context. Arthur often comes across cold and indifferent in public, but he's so much cheekier and, yeah, animated in a more intimate environment. This is also from when he was 17, he'd only appeared in Secret Fruit, with way less public scrutiny. The conversation is hilarious! But I like the genuine affection the guys seem to have for each other, and for the children they had to take care of. Please, please let it air!

I can totally relate! :joy:

 

BTW, @mei2018 this is probably the movie you were referring to! It's not Shang-Chi, but a Chinese-American character in Dr. Strange. Filming will be from January to May 2020 (so long!). They're looking for someone in his mid-20s though.

A description from Friend:

 

"Omg that clip, hahaha.  It must be from that toddlers show.  I like how the others on the show call him "our oldest son".  I don't know in what context they are having this conversation and I don't get 100 percent of it.  But Here's a gist of what they were saying:

 

I think as part of the show they get a daily stipend of spending money.

Cfy: if I give you bonus footage(?, not sure what those words meant, just my interpretation), will you double our money? So that we can have better dinners. I am thinking of the kids, really. Lol (right, for the kids, sure)

Other person: already gave you guys plenty of money today.

Cfy: but we used it for the car rental

 

Some cross and they were laughing.
Other person: our female producer would like to have a bonus footage
Other person: okay, our oldest son, it's all up to you now
Cfy: okay, when I take a shower tonight, you can put a go pro in there ( what?! Lol), but only film the top half though!
Other people laughing: good good, we can do that

 

Yes, he's willing to sell his body for food, the kid knows where his priorities are lol"

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Yeahhh i am also have watched this clip like dozens times, actually all the clips from 想想办法爸爸, in this clip i only understand the word Go Pro LOL! So cfy really loves to eat and after having a hard work he wants a great meal as a reward. Like what he did after the BFA test, he rewarded him self an ice cream :rolleyes:

 

Again send my regards to your friend @Lbpg!

Arthur was great with what's given to him and I'm happy it was recognized by the critic. I'm impressed with the different body language he displays after the 7 year separation. The author mentions his sitting next to her at the reunion dinner. Although he doesn't elaborate on that, I'm wondering if he's referring to the body language. Yu Huai was almost whispering talking to her; he was hesitant, unsure, feeling inferior, and at the same time he's desperate to see her again.

 

This movie definitely needs to be on Netflix.

 

Ah honestly i dont understand why the writer keep mention the reunion 7 years later mixed in the past story. But i am also happy he does recognize cfy's talent not just a beautiful boy, he said. Hopefully MBS goes on Netflix!

Thank you so much! I've seen the clip but of course I couldn't understand the context. Arthur often comes across cold and indifferent in public, but he's so much cheekier and, yeah, animated in a more intimate environment. This is also from when he was 17, he'd only appeared in Secret Fruit, with way less public scrutiny. The conversation is hilarious! But I like the genuine affection the guys seem to have for each other, and for the children they had to take care of. Please, please let it air

 

Oh i thought this one is after ever night, hmmm or before like you said, since his hair... Sometimes i can only tracked his milestones from the hair LOL... 

 

Yeah he was so relaxed and cheekier and animated, i really love him in this kind reality show! Please please let it air!!!

Agree. The writing and editing are the main issues of the movie. The story is told from Geng Geng's perspective, but it doesn't mean they couldn't add more details to Yu Huai's character and story, especially because of the changes they made him (from the book and the drama). Arthur was great with what's given to him and I'm happy it was recognized by the critic. I'm impressed with the different body language he displays after the 7 year separation. The author mentions his sitting next to her at the reunion dinner. Although he doesn't elaborate on that, I'm wondering if he's referring to the body language. Yu Huai was almost whispering talking to her; he was hesitant, unsure, feeling inferior, and at the same time he's desperate to see her again.

Yes, please, Netflix needs it!! 

 

You know, the story is from GG perspective to such a degree, that that scene he describes where he joined the dinner, you don't even see his face until she does, even though they show him walking in, in the bathroom, etc... But then, you see scenes like him crying at the tree, and of course inside the tenement. It's so weirdly uneven from that point of view. Are we supposed to understand him thoroughly or not? I don't care, I enjoy it all, but it gives fodder for criticism like that. Bleh. 

 

To @epinklyn's point, I also don't understand why the critic randomly adds what reads like synopsis bits in between criticisms. Almost reads like something that was translated instead of an English article.

BTW, @mei2018 this is probably the movie you were referring to! It's not Shang-Chi, but a Chinese-American character in Dr. Strange. Filming will be from January to May 2020 (so long!). They're looking for someone in his mid-20s though.

 

https://discussingfilm.net/2019/06/27/marvel-studios-looking-to-cast-mid-20s-chinese-america-male-in-doctor-strange-2-exclusive/ 

 

Regarding this, hmmm such a dillema, if he got accepted in Dr. Strange character, it is a small portion but it is a very famous movie, so many people will see him, and it will be another opening door to hollywood (beside the Snowman Romance). And if he got accepted in ShangChi, it is main role, big portion but dont know if it is a good one for him. So... Just wish him luck for the Marvel project (if he really want to go audition for it)
