Either that or they are all getting a brain scan done. Maybe both.
I’m not even sure what the movie is about but it consists of many household names and rising stars of this generation. Based on the novel of the same name (written and now directed by Guo Jing Ming (Ice Fantasy), L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties depicts the endless battles of four kingdoms as they fight for power and domination of the one ultimate realm. Family and friendship are two important themes. The question is…. which team is each of the cast member on?
They could have done better with the posters so it’s not repetitive for each cast member. Creativity people!
Fan Bing Bing.
Yang Mi.
Amber Kuo.
Lin Yun.
William Chan.
Aarif Rahman.
Yan Kuan.
Cheney Chen.
Kris Wu.
Tony Wang Dou.
Roy Wang.

Guo JingMing’s company is into starting a new niche/field in a chinese scifi entertainment genre. So I guess the dots on their faces are supposed to be scifi-ish? But to me, I feel like the dots on their face screams anything BUT Sci-fi and really detracts my interest. Not sure if I’m interested…exp since, while I like Fan Bing Bing and William Chan, neither of them have really ever given my any impression that they’re good actors. Esp after two of Hu Ge’s production with Shanying and the so-far disappointment of recent dramas (heh-hem, Legend of Zu, Lost Tomb, Lady and Liar…sorry Yang Rong, you were great but…I couldn’t continue after about half-way through), I’ve been a lot pickier about quality and stuff.
L.O.R.D the premise (the battling kingdoms idea) sounds like a great premise for a period drama, but idk how to feel about it being Sci-fi. One thing GuoJingMing got right for sure. good or bad, China doesn’t really have a Sci-fi drama (or even movie) industry, and it’s really only recently that they’ve been doing more animated stuff (Legend of Qin’s an exception) because China’s CGI effects have really improved.
This is all just hearsay that I only half remember though, so people feel free to input more on this.

China could use a lot of creativity in their dramas and movies. With the success of Monster Hunt, they might be veering towards that direction of animation. It’s a cute movie but lacking a stronger storyline. A gentle family movie for all. 🙂

The dots on their faces are for motion capturing… the dots aren’t actually part of their costume. Check out motion capturing videos.. like the making of Avatar.

The title made me thought this was going to be a period movie but from the posters, guess not…

So , the posters show them just doing motion capturing?!”m not sure what they tell me about the movie,except that ridiculously good looking people look fine in silly costumes. 🙂

It is! I’m just poking fun at their lack of creativity in posters. Getting a brain scanned is fun right? For health and stuff. LOL.

Motion capture dots I can handle. But their over-the-top eyebrows are just too much to handle.
Perhaps to compensate for the “I know it’s gonna look so fake” CGI?

Lol at some people.
The dots on their faces are meant to be use for the motion capture. Please Google motion capture films to get the idea.
If you’re too lazy to Google, it’s the same technology they used for films like Avatar, pirates of the caribbean and lord of the rings. Meaning the actors will get their features edited later.
I’m looking forward to this for Fan bingbing and Kris Wu.

Wow! Thought one of the actors there was Kim Bum for a second!
(Also, I agree with Julianne in that after watching Hu Ge’s two dramas… they’ve really set the bar high for cdramas for the rest of the year! :D)
Looking forward to this movie! Was never a fan of Yang Mi or Amber Kuo until watching all the Tiny Times movies 🙂

Is the last guy one of the TFBoys group? His name seems right — but he looks kind of odd…

Uh… I’ll stick to Lord of the Rings, thank you!
There seem to a theme with this writer – fantasy, RPG style storyline (there’s a quest and each character goes in a quest to defeat the ‘big baddie’ at each level before you get to the ultimate bad guy where a surprise awaits) with some sci-fi and wuxia added in. It’ll probably appeal to gamers and there is a growth in online gaming for RPG style games amongst the chinese youths. I think this sort of drama or movie appeals to this young cohort of viewers.
As for me, I’m still very much a Hollywood supporter for all things fantasy and sci-fi. China’s got a very loooong way to go in this genre!

Yeah but how are they able to improve without experimentation and people like you shooting them down before they even try?

Guo Jingming is a notorious plagiarist so I’ve always steered WAY CLEAR of his works. How he’s so famous is beyond me. None of his works have any originality – just bits and pieces copied from here and there, either from RPG, manga, or epic like Lord of the Rings, etc.
