PlotIn the story, the main character Hua Qiangu is an unlucky orphan who looks for a chance to learn magic to survive after her parents died. Appreciating her hard working nature and kind heart, and predicting her tragic destiny, Bai Zihua, an immortal in charge of Chang Liu, takes her on as his only disciple. Qiangu falls in love with her master, but doesn't reveal her true feelings until the end. Eventually, the truth was that she was born as the last god and has access to great power. After she summoned the Demon God to save her master, he gave her all his power, therefore making her the new ruler of the demons. Although Zihua tries to protect her and change her fate, Qiangu is constantly tortured by the machinations of those who wish to see her dead. The story eventually tells the readers a touching love between a master and a disciple. The leading actor and actress to play Bai Zihua and Hua Qiangu have been decided to be Wallace Huo and Zanilia Zhao. The fiction was once commented as the most heart-rending fiction, especially due to the rough fate of this master and disciple, Bai Zihua and Hua Qiangu, which intensely attracts readers. The teaser trailer focus on ‘heart-rending’ as well. It begins from the beautiful and pure relationship between the master and disciple and shows many sufferings they endure. In the trailer, the sections in which Hua Qiangu gets disfigurement and Bai Zihua gets poisoned are exposed. However, in order to satisfy the expectation of fans for months, it also exposes many exciting scenes for the first time. One scene is Hua Qiangu, acted by Liying Zhao, showering in a pure and wavy spring. She appears with an appealing naked back, which is full of temptation. Then, the next scene switches to her showering with a smiling face. Her tender skin is very smooth in the clear water. The beauty and the beautiful scenery form a picture of beauty shower. In addition, the scene Bai Zihua kissing Hua Qiangu with blood appears in the trailer. In the scene, Liying Zhao lies in Wallace Huo’s arms and their bloody kiss is full of pathos.TrailerThe teaser trailer dubbed in both Chinese and English is released; the formal trailer will release soon in mid of October. Since the filming of The Journey of Flower starts, this drama attracts intense attention of audience as well as many TV drama buyers from Asian countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan area. The purchase of overseas broadcast right is under negotiation. Therefore, Ciwen Media releases the teaser trailer to please the audience and media, though the filming is still on the half way. According to the drama poducer, Lijun Tang, this three-minute trailer is not official. Due to the filming is not finished yet, the trailer is specially created as feedback to the enthusiastic fans. The mode of propagating trailers dubbed in both Chinese and English creates a new way for drama promotion. It is also a positive try for the globalization of Chinese TV drama. According to the producer of drama, they will unveil the official trailer in Cannes TV Festival in October.Behind the sceneHua Qiangu drama is still being filmed in Guangxi but it is already well known all over the internet to fans. In the stills, we can see the beautiful oil painting style of Wallace’s Bai Zihua and Liying’s Hua Qiangu. The background is Detain Waterfall at the Guangxi’s Zhuang Autonomous Region. It seems that they’re enjoying themselves in this clean and beautiful place. But it’s just the opposite behind the scenes. To accommodate the scenery, the cast has heat rash. To look graceful, the cast is on a crazy diet. The reporter of Nandu Daily News interviewed Producer Tang Lijun and male and female leads Wallace Huo and Zhao Liying. They revealed the more beautiful the scenes are, the more money they’re burning.[1]Producer Tang Lijun: It’s burning money to film in Guangxi! Why do they only film 5 to 6 hours a day? Many ancient dramas chose Hengdian. This time Hua Qiangu has chosen Guangxi’s Zhuang Autonomous Region. It’s both time consuming and a financially burden to film in Guangxi. "The two scriptwriters thought of Guangxi when they wrote the script. We considered Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou previously but Guangxi’s road conditions are better." Because they can’t have modern buildings around and therefore they have to pick a remote place. "None of the mega dramas have taken place there before. We have to overcome many difficulties. The cars can’t get there. The Wiring can’t be used." The price for filming in this place is the cast can only film 5 to 6 hours a day. They signed up for 12 hours per day. But the distance between the hotel and here is 2 hours. One hour for makeup plus other bits and bots. There are only 5 to 6 hours left for filming. We have given up many things to stay true with the atmosphere of the novel. For us this means we’re burning money. Why do they get discounts for meals? Tang Lijun said although they have to face many difficulties, there are moments of joy. The local government gives importance to their filming. They've held many meetings to accommodate them. Most importantly, "when we visit the restaurants and we say we're Hua Qiangu they'll give us friendly discounts." Previously Guangxi was almost 40 degree Celsius and Tang Lijun wanted to send cold water to the filming site. "The roads were too narrow and so they could only drive three wheels carts. I asked a middle age man to take water to the filming site. I gave him money but he refused. He said: 'I don't want the money. I want to take my wife to see the filming.' Some villages bring solid food and watch us all day. Although it is a hardship we're happy." Wallace Huo, after joining Hua Qiangu, is trying hard to lose weight to look graceful to suit the Bai Zihua character as described in the novel. "He only has corns and eggs for dinner. He lost several pounds in a few days. He has finally achieved his ideal weight." Tang Lijun revealed that because of the warm weather, the crew have prepared many drinks for the cast. But many of them don't like sweet water. "Ma Ke is 1.85 meter tall but he is only 140 pounds and is keeping losing weight. The director ask them to look at the mirror every day. They can't join if they don't look 100% perfect. Actor Zhang Danfeng, who plays Dongfang Yuqing, has a baby face. He has lost 6 pounds after joining us." Is the whole crew on a weight losing contest?
