Fantasy Zhu Xian to follow Chinese Paladin 3

Fantasy Zhu Xian
I noticed I still have eight episodes of Chinese Paladin 3 left to finish and… they are kind of still in the oven…
This is why I’m posting about Fantasy Zhu Xian — as a teaser — since it consists of the Chinese Paladin 3 cast. Or most of them anyway.
Eight-minute Preview
In line with other Tang Ren productions, Fantasy Zhu Xian is based on a video game. There is an interesting symbiotic relationship between the video game and the drama. The actors attract attention for the newly launched game and the game, while growing in popularity (and revenue), keeps the fans’ interest railed up in time for the drama to air next year. (I see cash flow on both ends of the bargain.)
From costume to set, Fantasy Zhu Xian is visually stunning, which, sadly makes Chinese Paladin 3 pale in comparison. There is a certain amount of visual clutter in the fight scenes, but given how fantasy-esque the drama looks, it’s unlikely to be much of a problem. In any case, I’m pretty excited for it.

WOW!!
Is Hu Ge in it?
GOSH HE IS SOO HOT!!
WHO WILL BE THE MAIN FEMALE LEAD?
November 12, 2009 at 8:07 pm
he sure is!
Liu Shi Shi and Tang Yan will be the main female leads, with Liu Shi Shi playing two roles like she did in Chinese Paladin 3

Wait….is the main lead Lui Shi Shi but the red one or the pink one??

I don’t understand your question but Liu Shi Shi will be Hu Ge’s love interest.
November 12, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Okay…I meant.. who does Hu Ge like? Or who did he end up with?
the red gothic one or the girly pink one.
I understand that Lui Shi Shi is Hu Ge love interest but in the drama she play as an evil one and also the nice one. You see I hadn’t play the game so yeah, I’m confuse.

the evil one
by the way, the “girly pink one” is played by a completely different person.
November 13, 2009 at 9:22 am
YES!! I LIKE THE EVIL ONE!!
So what’s the story line?
November 13, 2009 at 10:32 pm
er, it’s a love story with many different arcs going on. Hu Ge’s is a 200 yr old love story.

Hi Irugnotmis,
Am I mistaken? Liu Shishi is actually playing three roles. She will be Liu Xiao Xiao (curly hair girl in pink), Mo Li (the demon-Hu Ge’s love interest), and Liu Xiao Xiao’s twin (girl with green hair-who turned into the red hair demon-Mo Li).

well, if the girl with green hair turned into the red haired demon then aren’t they the same person pre and post transformation?

hahah…sorry I was confused on your answer to post #6, how you said the girl in pink was played by a completely different person. I thought that is liu shi shi too?
In the video, I wonder if the red hair demon forgot her past? Is that why she question “what 200 years?”.

By the way, do you know if it’s really confirmed that they will make this into a serie? I asked people and it seems like some say “yes” and some say”no “. But it seems like news are coming out everyday about it. Also, I heard Huang Xiao Ming and Liu Yifei might be starring in it also.

you are right about Fantasy Zhu Xian being ambiguous as to whether it will be made into a drama. there is no official claim but there are assertions and assumptions.
personally, with the building anticipation, it makes economical sense to invest in the project. after all, why say no to a drama that’s likely to profit?

Wait whatttt this is actually going to be a drama? I thought it was just a commercial, and the clip was just a promotion they filmed for it…haha I don’t know if I should be happy or sad, because for one thing, I love the Chinese Paladin 3 cast, but on the other hand, I can’t imagine it without Yang Mi
Jing Tian/Xue Jian! WOOT.
Thanks for posting this anyhow!
PS. You should take your CP3 recaps out of the oven
Although your recaps are EXTREMELY enjoyable to read, lol.
PPS. I’m very much enjoying your Next Stop, Happiness recaps in the meantime. I wish I had enough time to watch these dramas rather than just read recaps on them though

You know, if professors learn to optimize their teaching skills and actually EXPLAIN things, I would have the time to take them recaps out of the oven.
