What's Elephant Hill? Are they like TMZ?
I wonder if they decided to hire an older, more professional actor due to the success of Wu Qilong in BBJX. Maybe they got Alex Su or Jimmy Lin. =) Too much wishful thinking?

These kind of things happen all the time (to alot of stars, not just Wallace), no point in getting yourselves worked up and angry about it. I remembered you guys said you would hate Wallace if he accepted a role in DMY....now is that really a trait of a die hard fan? Sometimes I think it's fans who cause most of the commotions, make and take things out of contents when they can easily let it go. Sorry if I offended anyoneSeriously they announced that Wallace Huo will be in DMY without Wallace signing the contract with them, and now they are blaming Wallace for the delay of the filming, this is so unfair and stupid. You know perfectly well that your delay got nothing to do with Wallace whatsoever. They just need find somebody to blame their mistake.
Next time Elephant Hill please do not open your big mouth before confirming with that actors and actresses or else you are making the biggest joke yourself.
This is my take on the situation, and correct me if the information was incorrect.
In short, Wallace and Karen (Tangren) did talk about him being in DMY and he agreed to do it. Since they have such a good relationship, it was more of a verbal contract, and not the official paper contract. This information obvious got leaked (thus the weibos and online News). Yu Zheng then contacted Wallace for the role in SOD (YZ said himself that he didn't know Wallace was already committed right?). Wallace expressed his interest in that role, and Karen have no choice but to let him go. Reading that post, I don't see or take it as a "blame" Wallace, but the truth still remains that production was delayed because they have to find a replacement for that role.
Anyways, I hope it's Wallace Chung. LSS (assuming she is in it) once mentioned he was her idol (when Karen was trying to get him to be 4th prince in BBJX). Also, he and Hu Ge look like they will be great together on the set (if you saw their interactions on award shows), two hilarious grown boys...LOL

I just finished reading the novel, can't wait to know who they cast for all the main characters. Ahhh it's going to be a long wait for the drama to come out.
That's because we were misled by the news released by EH. The day before we heard news that Wallace would play LHC. The next day EH said he would turn up for DMY. There was a hope and then EH took the hope away from us by making the announcement. It was like taking the most precious gift away from you. I'm not saying that DMY is not good, but it just made no sense to give up a no. 1 lead for a no. 2 role. DMY might turn out having a better rating than SOD because it's a TR production, but we're so looking forward to seeing Wallace in a wuxia series, particularly a JY one.
It could be Wallace Chung that they are trying to get to play MJ. But my understanding WC wants to put more focus on his singing career, which has been going very well. Tickets were sold out for his China concert tour. But WC might want to give it a go since he missed BBJX.

Anyone been to Ms Koala playground thread yet... she just update the translation of MDY to chapter 6 already.... boy is the book good.. can't wait till the drama coming out..
since reading the book.. I have to say that LSS will make a good Jin Yu.. having see her as San Naing in Strange Hero.. she is just the perfect Jin Yu... fun and lively and have a touch of innocence....
Can't Can't wait for MDY drama to come out...
Elephant Hill is the literal translation of "XiangShan" Filming Studios. I actually cannot see either of them as Jiu Ye. Maybe I've been influenced by the characters they used to play years ago.
Personal preferences, in no particular order for Jiu Ye: Raymond Lam, Qiao Zhen Yu, Wallace Chung, Wallace Huo (already out), Chen Si Cheng.
Biases: Hu Ge, Qiao Zhenyu, Liu Shi Shi

I can only see Qiao Zhen Yu and Chen Si Cheng considering the Jiu Ye role. Raymond Lam and Wallace Chung are at a stage of their careers where they won't play Guy 2 roles anymore, unless it's Guy 2 in an international movie (e.g. The Sorcerer and the White Snake where Raymond Lam was Guy 2 to Jet Li). Even Chen Si Cheng is now playing predominantly Guy 1 roles.
I think Qiao Zhen Yu would be awesome. Or Luo Jin - but Luo Jin isn't exactly a "shi li pai" actor.
I ship Shi-Harem
Now that I think about it, I think Ariel Lin would also be a good Jin Yu
*ShiGe shippers, don't hate me

I agree. She's not beautiful but she's got spunk and charisma but LSS is too hot right now and she's TR's own so she'll get the part for sure.
Back to Jiu Ye, how about Sammul Chan from Mei Ren Xin Ji? I agree that Chen Si Cheng fits the part as well.
Also, any word on who is going to play Li Yan (2nd female role)? I think Tong Liya would fit that role perfectly. She looked awful in Gong but when she played Zhao Fei Yan, she was drop dead gorgeous:

OMG Thanks Big Time @atsu-chan...... HQB is too cute, I can feel the sizzle hotness of the OTP (Hu Ge & LSS)... oh yes give me the summary, I like spoiler even though it won't be as much fun when u watch it but it still surprises me specially when u get to watch HQB (Hu Ge I hope) sizzling on-screen live in front of u instead of imagining when reading...
@atsu-chan yes please give us more spoilers. I've been waiting for english translations, but it's not all out yet and the drama seems to not be airing anytime soon. thanks a ton!
Koala's Playground blog is translating/summarizing DMY in English:

YES!! Ms. Koala is beyond amazing and summarizing chapter by chapter of DMY!! Everyone should read it!
For those of you who can understand Chinese but can't read it and would like an audiobook version of this novel, check out:

And for those who would rather be spoiled, I can skip ahead and give you a few spoilers towards the middle of the novel.

I have to run now, but TBC tomorrow hope you guys like it. Remember to read Ms. Koala's real version on her website!! Mine is just the rough summary of the good stuff to help you guys hold out until she gets there in the novel!

Well, this will be ShiGe heaven as there's some hot steamy scenes between HQB and JY, hahah!
However, to be very honest, interpretation can sometimes be different. I actually didn't feel any steam/sensuality between Nicky & LSS in BBJX TV adaptation as I imagined from the book, but they made up for it in their expressions of pure adoring love
I ship Shi-Harem
atsu-chan, ur my hero! Thanks for the audio book link.
It's a pity Ariel won't be doing anymore projects, but she's nursing her health. I've been watching 2 Hu Ge/Ariel dramas back to back, so I really love the coupling. ^^ BUT, I'm rooting for a fresh coupling. If they're rumoring that they're hiring a veteran for one of the main guy roles, does that mean LGX won't be playing opposite HG?
