#BaiYu on #Guardian LA:
"I think the essence is the characters. If characters are the same as the novel, I think it's pretty successful. The plot had to be changed a lot, we couldn't do the best in this aspect, so I tried to portray the character from the novel as best I could."
How would #BaiYu improve #Guardian
"I think the storyline can be developed so it's not as... Simple? CGI also feels a little cheap. Zhao Yunlan was weakened alot, his many skills in the novel were eliminated. When filming we'd say 'what is Zhao Yunlan strong at?', 'leadership!'"
