Pan Zi is big on sewing I see. _Two_ Danish cookies tins, one of them extra large!

The end credits always have a roll of bloopers and behind the scenes stuff. Unfortunately not subtitled, but the editor has taken great care in collecting the pieces belonging to the episode (like movies and streaming shows I'm pretty sure dramas aren't filmed chronologically). Anyway, here's the stuntmen playing Mi Luo Tuo, this time in green morph suits.

#UltimateNote #UrbanXianxia #Xianxia #CDrama

When I saw the Mi Luo To the first time - the green knobbly person in this pic - I was convinced the actors wore complete costumes. After all it's a very Star Trek TOS over that look. But it's actually stuntmen in blue morph suits, and the green jade-ish "skin" is a CGI overlay. Granted, I'm not that good at identifying digital additions, though I still feel it's a win for the production's VFX team.

A _red_ belt btw... That's something you wear for luck and protection. Aaaaand in Fatty's situation that makes a lot of sense. (Am I a bad person if I want a crossover where he ends up in Europe, and someone picks up on his habit of wrapping himself in talismans?
"You need European ones! Have some Holy Water! And iron! Iron's good! Always carry a Bible...
*hands over a 19thC family bible*")

Fatty's character has a Wild fashion sense. Unfortunately production has decided on a muted palett for the clothes, and that kinda' hides it. Took me about three episodes of mundane clothes to realise he was still, well, flamboyant. But here we can see it. For reference; the most daring things the others do are Xie Hua sometimes wearing microscopically pink cardigans, and those green pants of Wu Xia.

Architects use lego since the bricks are standardised, and iirc Lego produced (or produces - wading through internet is A Chore rn) special sets for them. Wikipedia doesn't mention this, but I remember that the blocks are supposed to be only white. Anyway, it doesn't look like ms Huo is playing here. At all.

In case you're wondering why I think Nuada wouldn't impress anyone. Everyone inside that restaurant, save for maybe Wu Xie and Pangzi, is nastier than the prince'll ever be. While the outcome still is uncertain they'd be

"Oh yeah. We eat pretty elf boys for lunch, and you're not even worth pearwood chopsticks."

(Death mention in pic)

The crossover of the millenia would be if prince Nuada showed up at this auction, and tried to rain hellfire on the filthy rich people bidding on antiquities. He wouldn't exactly impress anyone, and the outcome is uncertain, but it _would_ be interesting. Right?

Guys... you're going to a restaurant, not joining the mo...

...

...Well, this _is_ concerning the Mystic Nine, so definitions are fluid. Still, maybe not be so obvious about it.

(Also: note how production manage to get individual profiles and ~colours, despite all three being in suits. The devil really is in the details.)

This guy, who guards the Archaeological Institute of Changsha University, somehow reminds me of prf Neil Price at the Archaeological institution of Uppsala university. I don't know what to do with this information.

So I'm sharing.

(And if any archaeologists wonder what the heck I'm talking about; the still is from a C-drama that makes Indiana Jones pale in comparison. And yes - there's snakes.)
