4 new posters were released for the Nie Xiao Qian arc of the upcoming Chinese historical fantasy drama Liao Zhai — three character posters featuring Song Zu Er, He Shi Yu, and Gao Han, and a beautiful illustrative poster for the C-drama itself.
The Liao Zhai poster (see bottom of page) came with the message:
“Sinister vines ensnare souls in the misty woods,
Phantom tendrils devour hearts and minds.”#LiaoZhai# Nie Xiao Qian arc begins—
A labyrinth of love and obsession,
Half devotion, half doom!Reserve now on Tencent Video.
The posters illustrate just one arc of the upcoming Liao Zhai drama. A C-drama that comprises several different supernatural stories, with various cast members involved in each arc. (Think specific cases in the Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty series).
Meanwhile, each of the three Liao Zhai character posters also included individual messages.
The first one, featuring actress Song Zu Er, said:
“Withered branches cloak delusions,
Vines gnaw at vengeful souls.”The Nie Xiao Qian arc is officially announced—
Dare to unravel its eerie secrets with the Tree Demon Matriarch.#LiaoZhai#
Special Appearance: @宋祖儿lareina (Song Zu Er) as Nie Xiao Qian
while the character poster for He Shi Yu arrived with the comment:
“Lotus blooms tempt the gentle breeze,
Her enchanting gaze—a soul-stealing hook.”The Nie Xiaoqian arc is officially announced—
Join Nie Xiao Qian as you unravel a web of mysteries and peril.#LiaoZhai#
Special Lead Appearance: @HeShiYu_Hermia as Nie Xiao Qian
Gao Han‘s character poster was released with the comment:
“A bamboo chest cradles tender hearts,
Ink-stained bones conceal depths of love.”The Nie Xiao Qian arc is officially announced—
Join Ning Cai Chen as he co-authors a tale of the extraordinary.#LiaoZhai#
Special Lead Appearance: @GaoHan as Ning Cai Chen
As you will probably notice, both Song Zu Er and He Shi Yu are listed as playing Nie Xiao Qian. No idea if that was a mistake on the part of whoever is running Tencent’s Weibo account, or if both actresses are playing the same character.
Guess we’ll find out, eh?
As for the Liao Zhai drama’s poster, that’s incredibly pretty too.
Update: Song Zu Er’s Created in China has just exceeded 22,000 on the heat index
With Liao Zhai currently in production and likely ending its filming in September, it will be at least a year if not longer before the drama is released.
With its enormous cast of A-list actors that includes Song Zu Er, Chang Hua Sen, Zhang Miao Yi, Jelly Lin, Ye Zu Xin, Sebrina Chen, Gao Han, Yan Yu Tong, Deng Kai and many others, it is likely to be an enormous success when it does.
