a little update on tencent's dashi spinoff show & the dark forest

dashi spinoff

in an event held on april 13th, director yang lei talked about the dashi spinoff (refer to the link for plot summary if you missed it). one major thing that fans can finally stop worrying about is that zhang luyi will play wang miao for sure. the concern was not unfounded because it's not that uncommon for cdramas to switch actors. and back when the spinoff was first announced last summer, yu hewei was the only actor confirmed officially. but i mean, what's even the point of the spinoff if they don't bring back the original shiwang?! nope, they have no other choice!

yang lei said the idea of the spinoff is to fill the gap between the first and second book. and that's roughly the time between 2007 to 2009. it will continue the realistic style of three-body with added scifi elements. he also said that the hibernation facility would be introduced in the spinoff. i don't know if there'd be the talk about hibernation between shi qiang and wang miao, but i know the two of them will deal with shi qiang's health issues, and it's not going to be easy.

lastly in the info sheet from january, the filming of the spinoff is set in september 2024, but yang lei said that they were not sure yet. it's likely that they'll start the shooting in 2025.

the dark forest

since i've seen people asking about the dark forest season in the tags, i just want to say that it's not going to happen soon. in an interview in february, yang lei said they were still working on the script, and in march, he said the shooting would likely happen in 2025.

given the new info on the spinoff show. ideally, if they shoot the spinoff in early 2025 and the dark forest in the rest of 2025, the spinoff might have a chance to air in 2026 since it only has 12 episodes. and it's definitely going to take much longer for the dark forest to air. but given how big the project is and how difficult the shooting will be, it's all worth the wait.

"Just remember this; Real shrewdness means not letting any shrewdness show. It’s not like in the movies. The truly astute don’t sit in the shadows all day striking a pose. They don’t show off that they are using their brains. They look all carefree and innocent. Some of them are tacky and mockish. Others careless and unserious. What’s critical is not to let others think you are a person of interest. Let them look down on you or dismiss you. They won’t feel you are an obstacle. You are just a broom in a corner. The pinnacle of this is to make them not notice you at all. As if you don’t exist, until right at the moment they die at your hands." -Da Shi
