Thanks sunny! In terms of look, I would say QZY is a better fit for ZWJ. Although I would much prefer an actor who is not really well-known yet, and can actually act. Can't wait to know who the female candidates are, the agony of anticipation.

aww i was hoping for Hu Ge, but i guess QZY isn't bad.
Hu Ge would have been a dream! :) Specially since there's some glimmer of hope that Ady would be ZM- now _that_ would be the dream team!
QZJ, Please choose another.. Don't like him at all
Hu ge will do.
lol! really? haha!!!! :D
i actually really liked that movie! hehe.
but anyway. i dont like qzy. dunno why. maybe his character in rinsing flowers and purifying swords annoyed me or something, idk. and hes ugly! like, i dont find him attractive at all. please dont let him be zwj. if he is, i am so not watching.
agree. they should use someone with better acting. he doesn't really show much facial expressions. btw is there any confirmation who's playing female leads, parents, golden lion, chen kun(sp) villain?
I've just browsed through the Chinese forums and it seems there are rumours that ZJZ wants to cast Ady as ZZR (in line with his earlier remark that he finds her too demure and not "strong" enough for ZM). Yu Zheng, who is currently working with Ady on series "Tian Di Bu Rong", wrote on his blog that Hu Jing has just accepted a leading role in another series and is not likely to participate in the filming of HSDS. Yu Zheng also wrote that Ady has signed an agreement with the HSDS producers but he doesnt know which role she'll be acting as. Also seems that confirmation of cast is taking so long due to conflicts between ZJZ and producers. i.e, both parties have opposing views as to who should play which character.
As exciting a character as ZZR is, I really dont find Ady suitable for the role!
Really? I think Ady can do a decent "quiet, innocent" atmosphere (ie. Outsiders). As for the evil side, they just need to apply a bit more drastic make-up. It will be a test for her acting stills for such a role, though. I don't think I have ever seen Ady pick up the "evil" role, yet.
maybe it's just a decoy. or so i hope. ady can be soft, but i prefer her to be zm as well. she has that special spunk that makes me feel she can deliver the role well. i don't see how hu jing (although she is no longer a contender) is a better choice than ady. my 2 cents. haha, perhaps the producers realize that zjz does not have the best casting decision seeing how he likes to recycle his favorites for every freaking role.
It's September already and still no confirmation of casts nor pictures. . .
The excitement, or lack there of, is coming to a climatic ending as October rears its head 15 days from now. . .
Thanks for the news again Sunny! You're a wellspring of information for us barely Chinese-literate folks! :)
Ohh... I'm torn. I like the role of ZZR better than Xiao Zhao anyway- just because she's more complex a role, but
1) I'd really like Ady to do another villain role before she takes on something like ZZR and
2) Casting her as ZZR would seriously skew my bias away from ZM ... they'd have to cast someone _very_ good/stong as ZM to do justice to that role compared to an Ady/ZZR!
I think either ZZR or ZM would be a good stretch for Ady's acting (to be fair particularly ZZR, much as I'm wary of the idea)- XZ would simply be too close to her placid, virtuous previous characters!
(Though there is a one reprieve to that role, XZ is supposed to be very smart, very beautiful and has that one moving parting scene with Zhang Wuji... :) )
Ha! Its _very_ amusing to at least imagine that ZJZ and his producers are arguing about who to cast as whom since its such a hotly debated topic even "on the ground" (i.e., amongst viewers!)
I wonder if the casting of any of his other series has stirred this much interest. Sunnysnow, do you know if HSDS has generated more than average casting interest amongst the chinese-writing online population as well? :)
I think ZJZ need to make up his mind about the casting, or if he have asked the actors/actresses to be part of his production, let them choose their role. :D:D Please please let Ady be ZM.;) Unless, ZJZ must have someone else in his mind to be ZM, that's why he offered her ZZR.
No LYF in this series please!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's not alot of news for something that's suppose to start filming in a few weeks :confused:
I would much rather Ady An to be Zhao Min.
She played a semi-evil role in the last few episodes of "Legend of Hero" and was actually very convincing with her acting.
I dont doubt her acting skills but somehow, I think Ady lacks the "elegance" to play a character like ZZR. I've always pictured ZZR as someone who is more controlled and has more poise than ZM; a graceful beauty no one would initially associate evil with. I think a mainland actress would suit the role more. I dont know how to put this properly in words but I think mainland actresses have sorta more "gu dian qi zhi" (something like traditional poise) than HK/Taiwanese actresses.
I think the general interest in casting for HSDS is so-so compared to say ZJZ's ROCH. I remember many actors and actresses were considered for the leads in ROCH and there were plenty more news on the casting for ROCH.
Anyhow, several news sources state Oct 6 as the start of filming for HSDS (at Mt Wudang), which seems very unlikely to happen given the current progress for casting :(
Another vote for SFF here.
