renzhe Posted January 26, 2011 at 12:10 PM Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 at 12:10 PM So the next first episode is set then? I'll start a thred as soon as I get to it, or if somebody else feels up for it, go ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarevok Posted January 28, 2011 at 09:23 AM Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 at 09:23 AM I was not expecting much from the second season, but I really liked this first episode, had quite a few laughs. Seems to be worth watching some more episodes... BTW, I noticed that 唐悠悠 was wearing 军大衣 in that scene, when she tried to convince the director. It seems to be quite popular with shooting crew members - more than half of our crew was wearing the exact same outfit (me included ) when shooting the outside scenes...

Gleaves Posted April 4, 2011 at 12:52 AM Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 at 12:52 AM I just finished watching 沉默的证人 (also called 死亡日记). It is by the same director as 潜伏 and 迷雾, so if you liked them, you might also like this. It's a murder mystery cop show thriller. The plot centers around a string of serial murders. It started out a bit slow, but it pulled me in after a while. Some of the episodes near the end were a bit erratic, but the quality more or less holds up throughout the whole show. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted April 14, 2011 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 01:12 PM Maybe slightly off topic, but I came across this (source) "No more time-travel drama", authority says it disrespects history.... The authority’s decision was made on the Television Director Committee Meeting on April 1st. – but obviously it’s not a prank to fans of the drama genre. The authority has a good reason to go against the genre. "The time-travel drama is becoming a hot theme for TV and films. But its content and the exaggerated performance style are questionable. Many stories are totally made-up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore." I hope this won't decrease the number of shows in the project! I was planning on watching some of 魔幻手机 this year, but at least that's already made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleaves Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:34 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:34 PM "Many stories are totally made-up" That's great. Has anyone watched 神话 (The Myth) mentioned in the article? I was thinking of giving it a go, but I think it is about 50 episodes, so not sure if it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:39 PM Yeah, I was wondering if that article was a joke and I was punked. Not reading the original it's hard to tell.... I suggest you make 神话 the next series in honor of that article. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleaves Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:47 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:47 PM Fair enough. I'll hunt down the first episode of 神话 and see if it is worthy of GFEP branding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cababunga Posted April 14, 2011 at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 09:43 PM Found full series here: http://v.joy.cn/teleplay/detail/78026/1.htm Looks like the site is also supported by flvcd.com. ;) ...and here: http://www.qiyi.com/dianshiju/20100606/n18673.html Also available on tudou.com, but blocked outside of (err... well, at least in Canada).

Gleaves Posted June 22, 2011 at 02:07 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 02:07 AM I ended up watching 神话. I would start a proper thread on it, but I honestly can't recommend it. It drags during much of the middle of the series and the ending is terrible. All the same, I watched the whole thing, so it must have done something right. Basically, you get about 20 episodes of adventuring in the past, then the rest of the series is about (rather dull) political maneuvering at the end of the 秦 dynasty. Attached is a slowly seeded torrent if anyone wants to download. Streaming links from cababunga above. 神话_torrent.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted June 22, 2011 at 04:11 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 04:11 AM Is that in any way related to the movie 神话? I certainly hope they didn't drag that out over 20-30 episodes :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleaves Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:47 PM Yep. I haven't seen the movie, but it was the same basic story I think. Jackie Chan produced the tv show. And they dragged it out over 50 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarevok Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:56 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:56 PM Watching the first episode was enough for me, if it was that bad for another 49, then... anyways, glad I didn't watch those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:09 PM Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:09 PM I walked out of the movie, can't believe you watched a 50-episode tv show based on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleaves Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:53 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 01:53 PM It actually made for decent Sunday hangover fodder. The rest of the series is definitely a good bit better than the first episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob07 Posted December 28, 2011 at 07:16 AM Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 at 07:16 AM Just noticed that Tudou and Youku are once again available outside of China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted December 28, 2011 at 08:01 AM Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 at 08:01 AM They've been available for a while, but still slow, especially in the Chinese evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Areckx Posted January 17, 2012 at 06:59 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 at 06:59 PM 魔界 http://www.tudou.com/albumcover/po1I4Q-oUGw.html The title kind of freaked me out, and the start was kind of slow, but it ended up holding my interest. I'm going to watch more of this. Good portrayal of how humans put themselves through their own hells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insighter Posted February 4, 2012 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 at 02:55 PM Not sure if I'm butting in or if this has been talked about before, but does anyone have a schedule for times and channels for when these programs broadcast? I'm in Sichuan Province but I guess it shouldn't matter too much because of the one time zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 4, 2012 at 09:45 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 at 09:45 PM I find it's often easier just to view them online. There are plenty of sites that license the shows for online viewing, http://tv.sohu.com, is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
