Sorry, how's the schedule estimation for this series again? I know someone mentioned this before, but I forgot, sorry xD
When will it finish filming? When will it release?
It's scheduled to finish filming by March and the earliest possible release date is October/November this year.
Updates on YLWH's blog. Ken Chang has completed all his scenes for the series and has left the set already

The pics of ZCS and YSS mounting their horses in the air are extremely cool!

Thank you Sunny for the updates![]()
Yeah, ZCS and YSS looked so cool on horses, would be better if they share 1 horse too
I wonder where is our Yanfeng at?![]()
I think Ken looks very handsome and manly as ZCS, not to mention has the "Righteous" look.
I think YSS looks pretty.. maybe her hair makes her look old or something... or maybe too much black.
New updates from one of the fan's blog. Pix of XX stealing the dragon sabre, along with ZCS & YSS

I like Ken Chang , second to Ady in NHSDS 09. Never like the actors have been acted as WJ's parents , but this time would be exception .
It 's almost at the end of the month, really anxiety for its![]()
Thx alot!! And thanks alot for ZCS/YSS pics!!! They look LOVELY together!
Really?? Simon Yam and Dodo Cheng in HSDS86, were the BEST ZCS and YSS for me, esp. Dodo Cheng!! Love them alot! Not to mention, how Simon's ZCS died... so cool! (although different than the way he died in the novel).Originally Posted by banhtieu07
Yes, I meant the difference of the way he commited suicide. Sorry
Most of adaptations followed the novel, ZCS cut his own throat with his sword. But in HSDS86, he stabbed his sword to his own stomach, and pulled it out again then he placed the tip of the sword on the ground. Uhh, hard to explain, but he died in a cool poseIn Jet Li's movie, I think ZCS commited suicide using his inner power? Not sure... but he didn't use a sword at all.

Yeah, dont know why they have to make YSS this old and plain-looking. Luckily Wang Yuanke is a pretty actress and hence doesnt look bad.
Some extra pics of ZM

Woohu, thank you Sunny for the updates, like always![]()
I love the pix where ZM bite ZWJ's hand, I guess the pix from Houyee's blog left that one out. We thought she was holding ZWJ's hand with love and sincere, turned out she lured him on and bite him, well, even in his dream, she still tricked him
The horse riding pix are cool too, is that ZWJ and ZM? It look like a stunt double or something. I'm surpise they didn't ride together on the same horse.
The rest of the pix are pretty as well, thanks a bunch for those faithful fan bloggers![]()
Yeah, its very obvious those are stunt doubles..especially the one for ZM. I guess they're riding on different horses probably 'cause ZM is well and not injured? The ones of ZM and ZWJ on the same horse seems to be right after the wedding scene where ZM was seriously injured, hence unable to ride on her own.

New update from Houyee's blog, look like scene where ZM & ZWJ right after the wedding, ZM was still injured, or at least being recovered

I don't know who the guy in blue is, not sure what character he would be. I remember in the 1986 version, ZM & ZWJ came across this guy from Shaolin (dressed in normal outfit, not monk type) and he was going to pass out the invitation to the sects to come to Shaolin to kill/revenge Xie Xun. ZM tricked him something, so maybe that's the guy in blue? Maybe Sunny or Yanfeng or other Chinese friends can translate to us![]()
Hello again!
Sorry I was away hiking for 10 days, so just managed to come back to check all the new pictures and updates- awesome!
Like you guys, also am tickled and find it very nicely portrayed that even in ZWJ's dreams he continues to be befuddled by ZM- cool scene!
(The comment that the girls' expression express how ZWJ feels about each is a great one- after reading that, I went and looked at the pictures again, and indeed I would say it's accurate to claim he feels tenderness and yet bewilderment for ZM and sorrow/guilt for Zhu'er, as their expressions show!)
And yes Tifftiff, I think that might be the scene where ZM tricks one of Chen Kun's lackies into leaving them alone (even though ZWJ should be injured at this point as well... by ZM's brother's/father's cronies- that's a longish explaination for another time!) and also handing over the invite to the "Slaying Lion Meet" ZM fools the lacky into thinking that his "death point" has been hit by ZM, and he will die unless he follows ZM's every command.
Many thanks to the updates from Sunnysnow, Tifftiff and others!

Amazing shots of people on horses again!
I actually like the shots of ZM and her 7 warriors on horses entering the gates of some city- very awesome lot of lean, mean-looking Mongolian warriors with spikes and furs, bows and arrows, in contrast to ZM's soft fur cape and elegant carriage. Makes for a cool entrance for ZM!
ZCS is really amazing looking on a horse... that man should never be photographed without one!
Can't wait for the ZCS/YSS story- seems like it's going to be beautifully shot. (Bamboo grooves are one of my favorite backdrops for wuxia after watching the likes of Crouching Tiger and House of Flying daggers. And again here, those are put to good use in the pictures with ZCS.)
PS I think it's great fun that the blogger is being an extra.... it would be hilarious to play the game of "spot-the-blogger" when the serial comes out at last!(Imagine how much fun it is for the blogger himself! Alas... I think I'm turning a funny shade of green again... sigh....)

Last post, for a few hours, promise!
A few more picts of Ady, can't read the document since my current computer can't do chinese characters, but the first pict looks like ZM is under attack by the beggar clan?
