Hard work behind Yang Yang, Zhang Tian Ai’s Martial Universe

It’s a new year so I really hope unkind rumors stop plaguing this production team. From Zhang Tian Ai‘s sudden change of character to Gina Jin‘s poetic reveal on weibo, then to the slandering of Yang Yang‘s reputation, it has been an exhausting ride. The production team just released a behind-the-scene video, showing how hard everyone has to work for the upcoming ancient drama, Martial Universe, based on xianxia novel Wu Dong Qian Kun (武动乾坤) written by Tian Can Tu Dou.

Stills:

Yang Yang as Lin Dong, as child regarded as untalented by his clan, who’s destined for greater things. His family is banished from the Great Lin Clan, and the story follows his journey to avenge for his defenseless father after obtaining a mysterious Stone Talisman.

      They were saying that Yang Yang has become haughty after his rise from Love O2O. Besides cranking up his fees, he also uses excessive body double. These were all proven wrong by his agency and the production team. They issued a formal letter threatening those who spread false rumors.

      We can see that hes doing everything himself.

      If I am not wrong, it started off with someone on weibo saying that a xiaoxianrou specially ordered face mask and then used replacement actors to act on his behalf due to him being unable to attend filming because of tight schedule, and that xiaoxianrou only acts in close-up scenes. Then a famous actress Song Jia replied to the weibo post saying “At the end, found out that these replacement actors acted better than the actor himself right?” Then it went on saying how this xiaoxianrou has attitude problems, doesn’t respect his seniors and is often late to filmings.
      The matter then blew up, with YangYang’s name going up in top searches. Because he is currently seen as a xiaoxianrou, and he is filming for a drama right now.

      Tbh, this whole matter was just ridiculous. It felt like a witchhunt on YangYang because it merely started off with just a weibo post saying that oh, this xiaoxianrou doesn’t act himself but uses replacement actors instead, then for some reason, the arrow pointed at YangYang, with no concrete evidence! I have no idea why YangYang was being arrowed, when there are SO many xiaoxianrous filming for dramas or movies right now.

      It’s just ridiculous. As a YY fan, I know he works hard and there were many praises about him from seniors and filming teams. He often goes on the fighting scenes himself, and don’t use professional stunt actors, he ended up with bruises on his leg, injuries, and his knuckles were bruised.

        I was informed that weibo posting is sent by li yifeng fan. I also heard that yy fans & lyf fans is famous not get along with each other after the lost tomb.

        Fans can be your worst enemies. I remember the days Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam fans created so much problems for the two stars. That was my first experience how scary/possessive/obsessive fans can be.
        Poor Yang Yang, his handwork steams from a very firm foundation. He is not some rich Chinese boy growing up in expensive Private schools. He was educated in a Military dance school. His dance school is the Best and also extremely strict. It will be a joke to suggest he is lazy, disrespectful and have just a pretty face.
        The producer for this drama has chosen Yang Yang to star in this drama for very good reasons. He had changed the lead actress, he can do the same if he thought Yang Yang was not suitable.

      I love it when actors treat the staff to food! The fans usually gift them like fancy and pretty lunch boxes which makes me wholly envious. Oh the effort!

        Yang yang also treat drama team with kfc at the same time with zta. When yy treat them with meal, tianai treat with dessert ice cream 🙂

    This looks great! Can’t wait to check it out when it airs!

    The YY rumor has always been ridiculous. Anyone who has watched Whirlwind Girl can tell you YY doesn’t need a body double for fighting scenes. Plus, he usually only films one drama at a time so it’s not like he’s too busy to show up at the set.

    This rumor is very much like the one Liu Tao brought up when she mentioned an actress who only says numbers for lines and expects dubbers to dub her lines. We won’t know who that actress is, much like we won’t know who the actor is that needs a body double.

    All complicated thing aside, this looks great. I love the warrior costumes. Looks like a lot of epic action…hope it lives up. All the girls look fierce too, so hope all of the characters stay as cool and complex as they seem.

    This looks great, so many shows I’m anticipating this year; I love it.
    Princess Agents – Anything with ZLY ❤haha
    Condor remake
    Heavenly sword dragon saber remake
    Martial universe
    There’s prob a lot more I just can’t think of them. Plus all the 2016 stuff that I’m waiting for subs, anyone up for teaching me Mandarin ?

      Wait…there’s a Heavenly Sword Dragon Saber remake??? I definitely hope it’s good! I love the 200(3?) Taiwan one (with Alyssa Chia and Alec Su and Gao Yuan Yuan) but I REALLY didn’t like the 2009 remake (the only good thing in my opinion was LSS’s cameo as Yellow Lady and the fact that I love Zhang Meng).

        Yep! Yumama is behind it. LOL! It’s in one of the news batches. ;D

        • 22 thoughts on “Hard work behind Yang Yang, Zhang Tian Ai’s Martial Universe

          …I was excited until you reminded me that Yumama’s behind it. I no longer bear any expectations for the remake then. -_-

    As for Tian Ai. How sweet. I was right to love her for more than her sexy legs. Ahem.

    I’m glad Yang Yang got this role; it’ll be a good opportunity for him to show if his acting has improved.

    Zhang Tian Ai looks awesome ^^
