I left as soon as I saw Liu Yifei as the lead actress.
The fact that the real Taoist priest plays Yin Zhiping is something I find hard to accept; my personal feeling so far is just so-so.
Sissi
Surprisingly, no one posted any fan art.
I couldn't hold back anymore after reading chapter 265. A movie with a multi-million dollar investment only grossed 22 million yuan at the box office and you dare to say it's just average? That's a complete flop. You need at least three times the investment to be considered profitable.
At first, I was quite amazed. But as I continued watching, I could already guess what would happen next. Like: There's a good drama. → Audition and a veteran actor. → Winning the role because of a different director's feeling. → A whole day spent on script readings. → Being looked down upon by various senior actors before filming.
Wow, this is incredible. After the monks, they came the eunuchs, and now they've got a Taoist priest. Why do they all want to be movie stars?
I knew I should drop this story once I saw the "three thousand years" mark... And some reviews even say foreigners only recognize three thousand years of history? I'm speechless. You, a writer from Qidian, dream of aligning with international standards? Writing something that lacks even a shred of national self-confidence is utter garbage.
I paid to watch it. It started off amazing, but then it became a series of repetitive plots. The supporting characters were all naive. The character introductions were dismissive; no one had high hopes for them before the auditions. They shocked everyone, but then the senior actors strongly recommended them despite disagreements.
