The language situation in China is complex (and way beyond my extremely basic understanding of how it all works in practice). (I do know Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong speak different home...dialects?...from each other, if only because there's this incredibly delightful live-stream they did [I don't think it has spoilers, but you might want to hold off until you finish the show], which includes them joking around and trying to learn how to pronounce each other's names in their respective dialects, starting around the 17-minute mark. It's one of my favorite promotional things they did, and they did a LOT of wonderful things.)
The funniest thing (because you have to laugh or cry) in the Guardian ADR, to me, is how "Dixing" thuds into so many of the lines like a stone because it got changed so late in the game. (I believe the situation was that they thought they'd be able to get away with calling it "hell", as in the novel, or something like it? And then no. So that one word just gets dubbed in aggressively all over the place. ^^;)
AFAIK Guardian's audio is entirely post-shooting ADR, which goes to show just how much experience the industry has with it, because it's so close to seamless; I had absolutely no idea when I was first watching it, and now that I know, I still usually can't actually tell when I'm rewatching.
I think I might literally have cried if I'd found out that their of the leads weren't using their own voices, and am not entirely sure why my reaction is so strong. (I've mostly adjusted to the idea that some of the supporting cast have different voices/on-screen actors.)
