Introduction to ‘Gu Yue Feng Hua Lu’
Li Yitong is set to dazzle once again with her latest project, ‘Gu Yue Feng Hua Lu’ (古乐风华录), which has officially commenced filming on November 27. Known for her compelling portrayals, Li steps into the spotlight as the female lead in this much-anticipated Tencent co-production, alongside Chen Xinhai, who takes on the role of Shao Yi, a music spirit.
Overview of the Drama’s Theme
‘Gu Yue Feng Hua Lu’ promises a unique exploration of xianxia—a genre typically defined by fantasy and romance—by weaving in themes of Chinese traditional music. Li Yitong’s dual roles as the music goddess Yue Yangyang and the musician Xi Yin will serve as the narrative backbone, focusing on their quest to unite twelve pivotal music spirits. This combination of mythological elements and rich cultural heritage sets this drama apart in the current xianxia landscape.
Behind the Scenes: Expectations and Concerns
The drama is helmed by the acclaimed director Zhao Yilong and executive producer Wang Yixu, both of whom have a reputation for delivering engaging content, exemplified in their previous success ‘Love Game in Eastern Fantasy’. However, some industry observers express hesitation regarding the writing team, suggesting past projects have struggled with narratively solid storylines despite their popularity. As filming progresses, fans eagerly await to see if ‘Gu Yue Feng Hua Lu’ can break new ground in storytelling while accommodating its enchanting music theme.
