Guardian-adjacent vid rec

[marycrawford]

Okay, I am not the best person to rec this vid, because I can't read Chinese and so I can't name the person who made it, or the title, or what shows the footage is even from.

However: this is a constructed reality vid that is just gorgeously well done, where Bai Yu is a cop and Zhu Yilong is some kind of criminal mastermind, and it is HOT TO DEATH.

There is some dialogue subtitled in English, setting up the story very sparely, and there is a single sequence I recognize from Guardian (Shen Wei healing the scrapes on his shoulder) which just fits in seamlessly here, even though I know we didn't see Shen Wei taking a shower afterwards (and really, why not??).

The sequence starting at 00:30 where Zhu Yilong is in disguise as a waiter, recognizes Bai Yu as a cop, there is a fight, and then ZYL abseils off the building is amazing. I would watch this movie, just saying.

(Special mention for Zhu Yilong's little side-smile at 1:36, which is just perfectly placed in the middle of Shit Blowing Up that he certainly didn't have anything to do with. Yum.)

Oh yes, I had to go see it again, and thanks for linking! I'm also hoping that vidders will use the gorgeous footage of Bai Yu in his new show (the swordfighting! the chains!) for all kinds of new purposes.

Every time something reminds me of it I have to rewatch it. *g

Yes! Fairyland Lovers seems made for crossover vids. Bai Yu really looks amazing in the flashbacks. ♥
