Zhao Li Ying’s 1980s drama The City Maker with Huang Xiao Ming wrapped up filming

Lol. This drama is so secretive. Nothing at all during filming and then boom, we are done. But honestly, they finished filming a while ago, in late March I believe and only chosen today to release some materials. XD

The City Maker (造城者) is adapted from the novel written by Zhu Xiao Jun. It is set in the 1980s and as the name of the drama suggests, they are literally building a city from scratch.

I spy the villain from the Legend of Fei and the smexy snake lady from Legend of Shen Li (they have become very good friends)!

A Movie and Drama Adaptation of the same novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao by Zhang Yue Ran

Okay, Ya’ll are gonna laugh at me when I tell you this. I was writing two separate posts for each of the adaptation, thinking they have no relations until it clicked today that they are sourced from the same novel! Featuring my lovely girls too! William, you lucky dog! Lol.

In any case, the short novel Da Qiao Xiao Qiao / Big Qiao, Little Qiao (大乔小乔) follows the life of younger sister Xu Yan, who was born during the one-child policy period and hence caused a lot of heartache for the family. She was sent to live with grandma while her parents worked really hard to petition against the punishment of an additional birth; they slowly lost everything and became a joke. Older sister is Qiao Lin and she loves her younger sister. Younger sister, on the other hand, always secretly desires the public life of her sister. Unfortunately, elder sister committed suicide after her boyfriend abandoned her and she left behind a baby in Xu Yan’s care. This is the moment when Xu Yan started to re-evaluate her life.

As always with adaptations, there will be changes. The movie seems to be more dark and atmospheric, playing up the tension between the sisters, while the drama seems to play up the romance aspect (as expected when you have two hot commodities sizzling up the scenes, 😛 )

You can read the short novel at Midnight Scrolls.

Movie: The Unseen Sister (乔妍的心事) with Zhao Li Ying and Xin Zhi Lei.

Drama: Love’s Ambition (许我耀眼) with Zhao Lu Si, William Chan, Wan Peng, and Tang Xiao Tian.
