-----------------

I am the person who originally provide the Novoland: Eagle Flag (NEF) budget below :)

The budget for first season (alone) of the Ever Night series is slightly less than the sum total for NEF, however Ever Night has been green-lighted for at least 3 seasons (it being the 1st high budget Chinese show to adopt a multi season format). So Ever Night could potentially be most expensive Chinese show.

It is likely that the 1st season of Ever Night would come out before Eagle Flag.

You can find the entry I created including synopsis here:

No big name stars as leads, so at the moment it is mostly hyped by book fans who have high hopes that it will be one of the more faithful C-fantasy adaptation.

-----------------

This is China's first sincere attempt to adapt a contemporary written magic-based fantasy novel (discounting adaptations of classics like Journey to the West).

I added this drama as a new title to MyDramaList on Jan 23 2018, the 143th day of shooting for the crew.

What's my expectation at this point? I think at worse it should reach at least the level of https://mydramalist.com/19556-the-le...-condor-heroes but without the burden of a remake.

I was encouraged by the response of 70 years old Adam Cheng who initially was reluctant to accept the role of Fuzi. They managed to convinced him to read a copy of the novel. Sometime after that, he said "Send me the screenplay!" Six months after his first refusal he ended up on a remote set in a mountain area.

Ever Night: Dawn in the Empire is the first season out of three in the series. It follow closely events of the first volume of the novel and parts of the second volume (Lake of the Chilling Winter).
Unlikely some multiple-part C-fantasy dramas that left viewers confused and hanging at end of part 1, this one should have a satisfying conclusion of a major story arc at end of season 1.

As of writing...

Up to now, the most...

1. Expensive TV drama China has ever produced: Novoland: Eagle Flag (NEF)
In this thread: http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/showthre...BC%88%E5%BD%95

2. Expensive multiple-part TV drama China has ever produced: Ever Night [series]

I'm hearing they already finished principal photography of S1 and that S2 will start filming this May. So, S1 may be looking for a late 2018/early 2019 release.

Anyways, a short (1080p) Making of 'Ever Night' Teaser Trailer (1:48 min) released on Feb 12, 2018 [re-posted from MyDramaList]:
