The series will air in China on 9 January, so it's much faster than I thought. It will be 4 episodes per week of 52 episodes. The one shot YouTube has up there is Ouyang Ke flirting with a blushed Mu Nianci. TBH, I was disappointed with the way OYK looked like (so different from the 1983 OYK by Wong Wan-choi or the 2008 OYK by Li Jie), but I'm surprised that the 2 min trailer gave a decent OYK here. We'll see though...
I also love the look of Guo Jing (William Xu) and Huang Rong (Li Yitong). Michael Miu only had a few seconds screen time in the trailer (in which he looks gorgeous as usual), but I'm fine, cos other aspects of the trailer look great. Except of the wire-fu... but that seems to be a given for modern wuxia productions (blergh...).
These are
the scenes that I can register with speed 0.25x and 0.5x normal in YouTube. There
are at least 80 scenes of them. For the extended trailers, if any, can we have more Michael Miu please? And we haven't seen Ray Lui's Southern Emperor either!
1. Mongolian vs Jurchen attack?
2. Guojing vs Yang Kang’s cronies (including Llama
Lingzhi?)
3. Mongolian vs Jurchen (or Mongolian vs the other grassland tribe?)
4. Houses on fire
5. Chasing in the snow (either the first chapter
where Qiu Chuji was chased by the Song-Jurchen alliance or the attack of the
Guo and Yang families by Wanyan Honglie)
6. Mei Chaofeng
7. Seven Freaks of Jiangnan vs Qiu Chuji
8. A temple…perhaps Quanzhen’s Seven Stars
Formation?
9. Another wire-fu… of Huang Rong perhaps (cos the
girl is wearing white)
10. Ouyang Ke vs Guo Jing
11. Huang Rong (with very pale blue and pink tunic,
already with the Beggar Clan’s Dog-beating Stick) and Guo Jing
12. Huang Rong again, but different dress (blue)
13. Someone swirling over the water… Hong Qigong?
14. Mei Chaofeng vs Guo Jing
15. Qiu Chuji vs either Yang Tiexin or Guo Xiaotian
16. Peach Blossom Island: Guo Jing chasing Ouyang
Feng the West Venom
17. Back to the Ox Village, first chapter, either the
chase of Qiu Chuji or the attack of the Guo and Yang families by Wanyan Honglie
 |
| This is ep 1, the chase of Qiu Chuji (cos it was in the winter) |
18. Peach Blossom Island: Zhou Botong vs West Venom
19. Huang Rong and Guo Jing back-flipping
20. Mei Chaofeng
21. Guo Jing and green leaves (this might be when
Hong Qigong trains him in exchange of Huang Rong’s delicious meals)
22. Yang Kang and his Nine Yin White Bone Claw
23. Two people fighting above a giant bell, my take
is Qiu Chuji and one of the Freaks
24. Mei Chaofeng
25.Hong Qigong
26. A street fight. Probably Qiu Chuji’s Quanzhen
brother (Wang Chuyi)
27. Finally!!! My Michael Miu!!! I mean, Huang
Yaoshi the East Heretic with his jade flute!
28. A white eagle flying despite a snow blizzard
(the CGI looks okay)
29. Peach Blossom Island: HR in light blue dress
30. Yang Kang and his Nine Yin White Bone Claw
31. Mu Nianci in the Fight for Spouse
32. Ouyang Ke vs Guo Jing
33. Guo Jing in Peach Blossom Island
34. Ouyang Ke vs Guo Jing
36. Peach Blossom Island: Ouyang Feng’s deadly
zither
37. Peach Blossom Island: Guo Jing protecting Huang
Rong (while my Michael, I mean, Huang Yaoshi) just stood behind her in feigned indifference…)
38. Huang Rong’s first appearance as a girl, which
turns Guo Jing into a gold fish out of the water… Just add snow, and it will be
exactly like the original novel
39. Guo Jing, but I think he’s in a town, not by a
river
40. Nice two hearts on the bell!
 |
| see the two hearts? It might be unintentional... |
41. Peach blossoms… but not sure the setting is in Peach
Blossom Island or in the Cloud Manor
42. Two people riding two horses. Guo Jing and
Huang Rong?
43. Mu Nianci and Yang Kang? Or, since Nianci was also seen with Ouyang Ke in the same colour setting, is that her with Ouyang Ke?
44. Huang Rong trying to cure Guo Jing in their
hideout
45. Huang Rong and Guo Jing by a river (washing GJ’s
horse?)
46. Genghis Khan in a function
47. Snowy mountain
48. Mu Nianci and Ouyang Ke
49. I think this is when Guo Jing and Yang Kang paid
respect to their fathers, perhaps after Yang Kang killed Duan Tiande
50. Guo Jing and Huang Rong being cuties (then William
Yang and Li Yitong later had vertigo because of the spinning…)
51. A very nice shot of the steppe
52. Beautiful lake shot (the boat goes to the Cloud
Manor?)
53. Mei Chaofeng again (lots of her in this
trailer!) with blood sprays on her face
54. Mrs Huang (‘A Heng’)
55. Guo Jing (who possibly lifted the candles)
56. Possibly Liang Ziwong (he has fangs, which I
associate with the snake that almost ate Guo Jing and GJ later bit)
57. Mu Nianci falling (or diving) into a water body
58. A stick circling a forest ground
59. Yang Tiexin and his spear circling a snowy
ground (vs Qiu Chuji I guess)
60. Guo Jing
60. Guo Jing
61. A girl with a sword… not Mu Nianci. My take is
this is Cheng Yaojia (who’s secretly dating Lu Guanying, the young master of
the Cloud Manor)
 |
| Not Cheng Yaojia. This is Han Xiaoying, the 7th of the Seven Freaks (Ep 2) |
62. Qiu Chuji again (or I could be wrong. He could
be Master Wang Chuyi?)
63. Yang Kang (in the Fight for Spouse?)
64. Quanzhen vs Mei Chaofeng in an inn. Isn’t this
where Huang Yaoshi was supposed to fight with Quanzhen?
65. Huang Rong with the Dog-beating Stick
66. Guo Jing chased by a twister of leaves…generated
by Huang Rong?
67. The death of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo
68. Yang Kang’s grief (over his mother’s death I guess)
69. The cremation of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo?
70. Baby Guo Jing and Li Ping (his mother)
71. Guo Jing helping Mei Chaofeng
72. A Quanzhen priest vs someone in black
73. The fight in Ouyang’s boat between West Venom
and North Beggar
74. Wanyan Honglie
75. Qiu Chuji vs the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan
76. Yang Kang vs Guo Jing in a cave… when they were
trying to retrieve the Book of Wu Mu?
77. Qiu Chuji
78. The four useless female guards of Ouyang Ke
79. Guo Jing trying to shoot
an eagle over a snowy mountain
80. The LOCH title
