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.)

I want the movie TOO. Or yes the series, sigh.

Thanks for filling in my ignorance re: clips! So now I'm wondering, what kind of role is ZYL playing in those scenes in the hotel etc, where he looks so sweet but still with that dangerous edge?

Judging from the way the vidder used that single Guardian scene alone, I'm already so impressed by the juxtaposition of the scenes that LOOK like they're from the same show when I know they're not. Amazeballs, agreed.

LOL! That is pure vidder brilliance!

And yes to the vidder's skill in making all the sources look cohesive. Whatever effects/processing they did really works.
