    Lightbulb Heroic Chronicles / 英雄志, starring Kristy Yang

    This is a TV adaptation of the super-long wuxia novel of the same name, by Taiwanese author Sun Xiao, who is still working on the last chapters of the novel after writing it for 10 years, even though shooting has already began. The novel is considered by many wuxia aficionados to be the best work in contemporary wuxia after Jing Yong and Gu Long. Rather than being a simple tale of revenge and adventure it's noted for its complexity and the depth to which it probes social, humanistic and philosophical issues.

    The cast is not particulary well-known, at least to me. Kristy Yang is reportedly the female lead, but there's no production picture of her yet since she's set to join the crew at a later stage. The male lead is the male lead from the recent Legend of the White Snake with Liu Tao. Below are some images taken by the production photographer.

    of all people, they chose kristy yang to star in this adaptation of what is supposedly the best wuxia fiction written more recently? she looks too modern imo and she can't act...unless i have the wrong kristy yang in mind. please tell me it's the wrong person i have in mind.

    but i like the costumes so far...let's hope the adaptation is as good as you make the novel out to be.

    but if the story is great then i will definitely give it a try...hopefully the supporting cast is well cast.

    from what i remember (another forum member posted this a while back) the author will be writing the final chapter this year (1 chapter each year so far) and that should be done before the series is done shooting.

    no more help for flipfloppers btw.

    you are shameless! how dare you put blame on 0-0-0. you should learn more from her when it comes to being honest to yourself and esp to others. and if she's an auntie then you are a granny. i'll call you granny surf from now on.

    Filming has aparently been abandoned halfway due to financial problems; apparently one of their investors pulled out from the series and declined the crew any financial aid.

    I think it's quite a pity since the story is supposedly very good and i dont mind the casting as well, which include veteran actors like Zhang Tielin, Cecelia Yip etc. The cast, especially the leads, Pan Ao Ming and Kristy Yang have expressed that they really like their characters and plot and hope that the producers will be able to find another willing investor so that they can ressume filming.
    There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

    That is just wrong for an investor to pull out halfway. If going to invest something, follow it through all the way.

    It does seem very interesting.
