Okay, this has been a week for trailers that are relevant to my interests. (All subbed by me because this is my life now...)
Quick Youtube links:
Glass Vision Short: "微暗之火/Gone with the Wind" (Tong Yao, Zhang Xincheng)
Trailer: "这么多年/All These Years" (Sun Qian, Zhang Xincheng): please do not perceive my embarrassing mistranslation lol
Trailer#2: 这么多年/All These Years
Trailer: "回廊亭/Revival" (The Murder in Kairoutei 2023 | Ren Suxi, Liu Mintao)
Fanvid: The Longest Movie (The Day of Becoming You)
Novel problems: very problematic age gap situation (I can't remember the details; I personally haven't read the novel).
Author problems: appears to be a known plagiarist, most memorably for the novel that the movie Better Days was based on.
This teaser itself is very bland——I don't know how much of that is because the show hasn't been finalized yet, but eitherway the styling is pure aesthetic and devoid of any personality. I do find it fascinating how well-known and influential Rabindranath Tagore is in China? Something I realized after watching a bunch of cdramas and following ZXC.
(PS. The (superior) Vogue short that
dramateaque mentioned can be viewed here. I subbed that too. 😂)
This is a movie based on the fourth Zhenhua novel by Ba Yue Chang An. Previous Zhenhua adaptations include Unrequited Love (Zhao Shunran, Zhu Yanmanzi), With You (Liu Haoran, Tan Songyun), and My Huckleberry Friends (Li Landi, Zhang Xincheng).
So Many Years (also known as All These Years) is about loving each other through years of regrets and separations. Hopefully the high school shenanigans will be as fun and energetic as the ones I've seen in the drama adaptations! Zhang Xincheng's high school look here brings me such great delight:

My feelings for Zhang Xincheng are obvious, but I'm actually also a huge fan of Sun Qian's performance in Remembrance of Things Past where she struck a good balance of immature but charming. She was so cute!!! And she made me cry!!!!
I can't embed it because it's a short so I'll just link it lol.

This movie was originally set to be released March last year (2022), suddenly went totally silent, and came back today to announce that it's coming out on March 2023, finally. <3 I'm definitely still very intrigued, though concerned about the changes that might have been made during the one-year silence (the 2022 cdrama also went through a lot of obvious edits and made no sense).
(Also on Bilibili, but I expect it to get taken down.)

Glass Vision X "微暗之火/Gone with the Wind" short (Tong Yao, Zhang Xincheng)
A magazine shoot and teaser for an upcoming drama adapted from 小南风/Summer Breeze. Both the source novel and the author (Jiu Yue Xi) are controversial.Novel problems: very problematic age gap situation (I can't remember the details; I personally haven't read the novel).
Author problems: appears to be a known plagiarist, most memorably for the novel that the movie Better Days was based on.

Glass Vision’s short didn’t really have a clear message. What does it wanna say? That things can change over 5 years? That relationships are hard?

Vogue’s short at least offered a look into the characters & implied age gap issues. (But hey, ZXC nails the ‘man in love’ as usual.) pic.twitter.com/ncj1Ob2BQq

这么多年/So Many Years full trailer (Sun Qian, Zhang Xincheng)
T/N: In 00:37 of my fansubs, “What if goodbye” should be “What if we meet again” LMFAOThis is a movie based on the fourth Zhenhua novel by Ba Yue Chang An. Previous Zhenhua adaptations include Unrequited Love (Zhao Shunran, Zhu Yanmanzi), With You (Liu Haoran, Tan Songyun), and My Huckleberry Friends (Li Landi, Zhang Xincheng).

这么多年/So Many Years Trailer #2 (Sun Qian, Zhang Xincheng)
This teaser takes you through the movie's major plot points, synopsis-style. The BGM (Eason Chan's Ten Years) is both very fitting—the person who cut the video knew exactly what they were doing—and also A Choice.I can't embed it because it's a short so I'll just link it lol.

"回廊亭/Revival" (The Murder in Kairoutei 2023 | Ren Suxi, Liu Mintao)
An upcoming movie adaptation of Keigo Higashino's The Murder in Kairoutei starring Ren Suxi and Liu Mintao!!! The promotional materials emphasize that this is a two-woman story, with absolutely no word about the boyfriend.This movie was originally set to be released March last year (2022), suddenly went totally silent, and came back today to announce that it's coming out on March 2023, finally. <3 I'm definitely still very intrigued, though concerned about the changes that might have been made during the one-year silence (the 2022 cdrama also went through a lot of obvious edits and made no sense).
"The Longest Movie" (The Day of Becoming You fanvid)
Basically just the cinema scene in The Day of Becoming You ep25 with Jay Chou's The Longest Movie as the BGM hehe. I needed this edit to exist because THE SONG IS SO PERFECT FOR THIS SCENE, and now it exists. XD(Also on Bilibili, but I expect it to get taken down.)
