After a bevy of stills for the past several months, we have a concrete trailer! And it’s english-subbed! I love you production company! While it’s beautifully shot, I’m just not sure I’m into the storyline. Lol. A king who exiles his most trusted minister, only to find him wrongly accused. A little too late.
Stills:
Ma Ke taking on the role of minister Qu Yuan. Although when I see his flowing black hair, I thought, Sha Jie Jie has an upgrade! Lol!
Qiao Zhen Yu as King Huai of Chu.
Jackson Yi Yang Qian Xi plays the younger version of Qu Yuan.
BROMANCE ALERT!
“We only need to know each other’s heart, bro.”
Viann Zhang playing Ma Keās love interest, a song writer.
5-minute Trailer:
Directed by Zhang Xiao Zheng (Women of the Tang Dynasty) and Ding Yang Guo (A Different Kind of Pretty Man, Yi Guan Xiao Zhuan), and written by Liang Zhen Hua (Ice and Fire of Youth, Hero Dog), Song of Phoenix plans to have 70-80 episodes.

But that’s history, so nothing can be done about that.
And then the country falls and the king becomes a prisoner and dies
And the minister drowns in a river and is mourned by all citizens (hence the Dragon Boat festival)

I think she just means its sad.
But yea, I got impatient and emailed Kappy about the trailer and she told how they might be slick and drop it on the festival date. Dead on guest. Lol.

Eh, there’s a reason why there’s something called åæ čØéč³ or “faithful words grate upon the ear”. Qu Yuan wasn’t the only one in history who suffered this fate. There was also Yue Fei.
Anyway, I’m gonna wait for a longer trailer. This one is not ideally cut so some scenes make me want to laugh. The costumes are beautiful though.
