#modaozushi audiodrama

[rigelmejo]

A regular reminder, if you want to listen to a chinese audiobook, go to your search engine of choice, or youtube, or bilibili (and bilibili.com's app is fairly easy to make an account in multiple countries), and search Book Title 有声 yousheng or 有声书 youshengshu or youshengduwu 有声读物, or for audio dramas 有声剧 youshengju. Example: to find Mo Dao Zu Shi audiobook you'd search "魔道祖师有声书" modaozushi youshengshu and for the audiodrama you'd search "魔道祖师有声剧" modaozushi youshengju. If you have chinese keyboard installed on your computer or phone, you can search with that. You can also sometimes search with just pinyin, google will figure out the hanzi you meant for example if you just type "mo dao zu shi you sheng" (If you'd like to add the chinese keyboard to your phone, its just a matter of going to Settings, General Management - Language and keyboard, and add the chinese jeyboard. Then you'll have a globe icon next to the spacebar which you can use when typing to switch languages.)

Official sites with a lot of audiobooks include places like ximalaya.com, music123, sites that are clearly audio sites in a similar style to say Spotify. Missevan.com has a lot of audio dramas, if you are specifically looking for those. Bilibili is like youtube: you might find a whole audiobook in a huge 53 hour video file, but it also might be deleted in a few days. That said, I've found The Kings Avatar audiobook on youtube (and many xianxia ones i had trouble hunting down), and the daomubiji audiobooks on Bilibili. You'll also be likely to run into more fan-made audiobooks if you search youtube or bilibili. If you're looking for primarily the professionally made audiobooks with sound effects and multiple actors, ximalaya and missevan will give you the most luck, with bilibili or youtube as backups if you're desperate to find a particular audiobook or audiodrama thats not available in other places anymore.

Then finally: theres always the wild unknown of checking out random sites the search engines give you in the results. Expect to need adblocker on, and it will be hit or miss what you find and what the quality is. But for a few novels which had audiobooks deleted, or where there was NEVER an official audiobook made, I have had some luck just scouring through results on various sites.

I hope i mentioned that in my postings, but know we have proof. Thank you for sharing!

Hello! I saw on twitter someone said that MXTX supervises the audio drama. Is this true? Thanks!

Hello hello! I’m afraid that the little I know mostly comes from second-hand information. In the audio drama listing, MXTX is only credited as the author of the original novel. However, she is close to several staff members and I’ve seen her referred as a friend and collaborator to them in the Chinese fandom. So I’m not sure if she directly supervises the making of the audio drama in an official capacity or not and what exactly her contribution entails… ^^’

(If anyone is more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me or add additional information!)

Ahhhh wait, let me give you a basic rundown: (this is actually pretty long, I couldn't help it 😅)

So the novel that starts all of this is called "魔道祖师“ (MoDaoZuShi), in English "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" or "The Founder of Diabolism." (All of the titles are so long, so we usually shorten them to mdzs/gdc. We don't usually call it Founder of Diabolism but the donghua and mdzs q uses that name. More on both of these later.). It's a popular danmei/BL (boys love/gay) novel, written by MoXiangTongXiu/MXTX, an author who have also written 2 other danmei novels.

Ok, so this novel has been made into several adaptations. The most popular one is the live action "The Untamed," and many people loved it for the plot and because it's BL (HOWEVER, Chinese government is homophobic so they had to make it seem like it's bromance, but the production crew inserted hidden meanings and subtle easter eggs to hint that it's more than that). Though this is the most well-known adaptation, it's also the one that adheres to the novel the least, so I really suggest reading the novel before or after watching it. I don't blame it though, the drama did the best they can with the money they have and the fact that they have to edit out many of the scenes because they can't make it outwardly gay.

(I'm currently watching The Untamed Special Edition, which is basically The Untamed but they add more scenes of the two main characters for international fans)

*takes a deep breath* Another popular adaptation is the 动画(donghua), which is basically Chinese anime, with the characters drawn out and animated. The donghua goes by the name "The Founder of Diabolism" and it's currently airing its third season right now, and episode every Saturday. It follows the same novel and storyline, and though it's a bit closer to the source material than The Untamed, it's fast-paced and I don't suggest watching it if you don't know what's going on.

The third adaptation is the 漫画 (manhua), which is like, Chinese manga. It also started updating again! I don't read it so I don't know where you can find Eng translations of it, unfortunately 😅. But it sticks to the novel more than the donghua and The Untamed.

Now, the last adaptation, which also doesn't get talked about much, is the audiodrama, where voice actors act out each character. It changes very small parts of the novel which means, *yay* we get the gay scenes! I'm currently listening to it right now :)

OH and this isn't really an official adaptation, it sort of a side story to the donghua, but there's a cute version of the donghua called mdzs q/ the founder of diabolism q where they just feature short episodes of sweet stories that aren't related to the novel :)

Whew, I know that was a lot haha. It's ok if you don't want to watch or read any of what I mention, but if you do want to start on this crazy journey of mdzs, then I recommend either reading the novel or watching The Untamed first. I can provide you the link to a free English translation of the novel.

good morning!!

Currently thinking about translating mdzs audiodrama into german...because it's so good💙❤️...but this would be such a huge project...and i have to finish my translation of the novel first (still 31 chapters to go😅)...but it's so good...😍🐇💙❤️...

[lanwangjiismyreligion]

My thoughts on mdzs audiodrama in general (there will be more):

Sound Design: It's incredible good, all those music, sound effects, are mixed with great care to create the perfect mood.

Voice Acting: Excellent voice acting in all parts, even in the smallest role!! All of the voices are incredibly good. I must admit that I adore Lu-laoshi (Wei Wuxian) and Wei-Iaoshi (Lan Wangji), they are just perfect for our main pairing. I especially was impressed by Wei-Iaoshi because it's such a difficult role to voice (every word must be a hit, you know :-)).

Atmosphere: Perhaps it's just me, but the production seemed to be perfect in setting the atmosphere: timing the soundscape with the voices and music are high quality.

There are just some little differences from the original novel, but those are just in regard to the medium audiodrama, so that you can follow more easily.

Director: Feng Sheng

Producer: Kuo Haojun

Writer: Liu Yin (wonderful script!!!)

Publisher: Polar Penguin Studio

Studio: Maoer FM (missevan.com)

My thoughts about the mdzs audiodrama season 1:

💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️

😌🙏💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓

The audiodrama is such a gem!!! Season 1 follows the novel plot very, very close. All of those little changes they did because of the medium, are very, very carefully handled. The chemistry of WangXian is incredible 😭😌🙏. Lu-laoshi doesn't speak Wei Wuxian he lives him and of course the same goes for Wei-Iaoshi as Lan Wangji. I love both of them so much, you have no idea😌😭💙❤️, they are my voices of WangXian. As I read the novel again I hear Lu-laoshi being charming and Wei-Iaoshi being a generous giver...

All the essence of WangXian is in their voice acting, I was so impressed and I grew very emotional over this perfect performance.

But the loyalty to the original novel plot is the most important thing: all important WangXian-Moments until the Yi-City-Arc are there, perhaps they added some more lines or used soundeffects to create the same mood as in the novel. You can take the book and read along the audiodrama (for season 1 you definitely can do this).

If you have the chance please, please listen to it, it's a wonderful production 💙❤️🙏😌😭💓!

[lanwangjiismyreligion]

Wangxian-Time for today: listen to all 3 seasons of the audiodrama non-stop while having a bad conscious about not writing any reviews here for all those fine episodes like I planned, I am sorry...but life is a bitch sometimes... 😭😭💙❤️🐇🌸💮🏵️🌺🌱🐓🐎🐕...

Modaozushi - Audio Drama Live

Season 1 Episode 3:

Episode 3: Fighting the soul consuming goddess, Jin Ling might be arrogant but he is a good kid, WWX being a great teacher again and summoning Wen Ning?!?, wangxian for the first(secon) time....and in the end coming back home....total playtime: 22:06 min.

0:00-3:10: Jin Ling prays before the goddess in the cave and his wish is granted, the goddess comes to life and consumes souls, in the chaos Wei Wuxian comes to the rescue and Lan Sizhui und Lan Jingyi follow him

3:12-8:25: Wei Wuxian’s lecture  about the soul consuming goddess and his reasoning about cause and effect is chefs kiss,  the best in the dialogue is somethin like “”But the Yiling Patriarch said that....” and Wei Wuxian immediately answers: “Why are you blindly follow his statements?!? Even his own inventions were a mess!”, lololol, he is such a good guy....and now they have to safe Jin Ling...

8:30-11:25: Now saving Jin Ling and the fight against the goddess leads to an improvised bamboo flute and WEN NING appears!!!! The sound of his chains are eerie and sad at the same time....his roaring so fierce...but he is our bea and must be protected....the battle sounds are vibrating in my headphones even i turned the volume down....very spooky are the sounds auf the laughter of the gooddess...

11:25: WANGXIAN (improvised bambooflute version!!!) and you make one...two...three...steps back and ........LAN WANGJI!!!!! (It’s like the donghua scene how WWX just stumbles into him) HANGUNG-JUN....my god he sounds so shocked his breathing is faltering, you can hear the shock in his “You!” even it’s not loud, you can hear the utter disbelief just through his trembling breath.....please give me a moment to collect myself, because i just want to hug him so badly the poor guy...all those years and suddenly...HOPE!!! he is thinking OMGOMGOMGOMG.... You hear he is absolute out of all, yes he is frozen but from the utter surprise:-), Wei Chao thank you for voicing Lan Wangji....please give this man a voice acting oscar!!! Ahhhh, here i go again... and this will not change the whole three seasons....

12.24: Jiang Cheng comes in  a panic because Jin Ling and you can hear is despair in his affectionate “A-Ling!”, he loves his nephew so much and worries about him....ahhh he is like his mother i can’t even....Then body possessing check up and Lan Wangji protects without any hesitation.....i love him....showing by doing.....please send help....and in the end

15: 40: Lan Wangji takes WWX with him back home, this is slightly different in the novel, in the novel WWX said that Hangung-Jun is his type, here he said something interesting, WWX said “Hanguang-Jun, take responsibility for me” and i interpret these words as a permission to take him away like in the novel you are my type are meaning here is the key the permission that WWX allows Lan Wangji to stay by his side. .even if WWX is not aware of it in this moment....but that is just my humble opinion...

Ending Song: The unknown song

Modaozushi - Audio Drama Live!

Season 2 Episode 10

Hello! 

Today i continue with my liveblogging of Modaozushi - Audio Drama chinese version. So i hope you read and enjoy! There are so much details in an episode, please be aware that i couldn’t cover every little thing, the post would be unreadable.

Season 2 Episode 10

The old days as the Wen Clan took other clan’s disciple as hostages...ahh, no into “training”, Wen Chao and his team, Mianmian and the question if Lan Zhan is jealous or just envious, chivalrousness and courage, total playtime 32:10

Flashback continues

0:00 - 3:25:

Event: the assembly where Wen Chao took the other disciples swords away, Wen Zhuliu is mentioned and WWX immediately recognizes that LWJ is injured or sick, Jiang Cheng’s warnings to behave, it is pretty clear that they are all hostages in the end...

BGM/Sound: in the very beginning there is some heavy bgm and wind blowing... it feels oppressive but when the talking continues and Wen Chao is entering, the sound starts changing between the oppressive bgm and just wind blowing ... and with the order to search Muxi mountain the heavy bgm grows louder and the credits are playing...

Wen Chaos voice actor is very good, his voice is sharp and clear, it puts you on the edge right from the start, perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but the concept of Wen Chao is rather interesting to me because on the one hand he is, in my eyes, a typical comic book villian and in the audio drama it shows too, but the character demonstrates how dangerous such comic book villains can be if they are in a position of power ... you might laugh at them first...but then (yes, i know that WWX will kill him in the end, but here in this situation the comic book villain is clearly menacing...)

3:26 - 11:26:

Event: The search on Muxi mountain, wangxian interactions, Mianmian and her pouch:-), my humble opinion about LWJ being some jealous idiot...

wangxian interactions are cute, it’s the same like in the novel, perhaps a slightly different wording and  WWX is so perceptive and clueless at the same time...*blowskisses*, poor LWJ so injured and all the things on his shoulder, watching WWX interacts like it is nothing is nervewrecking....:-) and then there is Mianmian - her voice actress sounds really cute:-) - the scene where WWX flirts with her... sorry, but yes, maybe he finds er cute or even pretty or likable, but in my eyes he just wants the pouch, he is not really interested in her as a women, the whole scene reminds me more of the scene where he wants to get the loquats as they fight the waterborne abyss ...:-) - fight me! - even if he defends her later it has more something to do with the social expectations of this world, like you defend a lady if she is in danger because you are the guy and if you see something unjust going on you intervene, and so on... and now to the question is LWJ in this scene just a jealous little idiot? Hmm, i would say well it depends lol, the poem with the name mentioning and flirting around makes you believe pretty easy that LWJ is just jealous because WWX can act so casual with a girl, but then again, i feel more that he is envious of the fact that WWX IS ABLE to act like everything is normal and naturally despite the situation they are all in ... and in my eyes  LWJ is a knight too, so as he points out that this name is just a flirty wordplay he doesn’t want  Mianmian  losing face in publicity or in front of her friends, so in my eyes he is more of the envious side then just plain jealous...:-), but as we know LWJ will refere to this scene in the present arc and you can take this as a hint that he was indeed jealous at this time:-))).. so it’s up to you

Jiang Cheng and WWX: ah, they are such great bro’s it’s sad that they are both stupid:-))! To be honest, i think Jiang Cheng is right, when he warns WWX the whole time, because the situation is clear like sunlight, lol, if the hostages don’t behave their whole clan will bear the consequences ... but then on the other hand Madam Yu is not a diplomate either ...lol ..yes, perhaps WWX’s behaviour speeds up the events but in the end Madam Yu would’ve done the same job on her own...*excuse me for being so blunt*...so as WWX learned about LWJ’s background he is really shocked...and wants nothing more then help...and then there comes Wang Lingjiao ... i seriously hate her.... but her voice actress is chef’s kiss, her voice sounds in my ears like a knife, it’s piercing and mocking and her sycophancy is just wow, it makes me want to vomit... voicing such a character is so difficult, i am just in aww and bowing in front of this performance...

BGM/Sound: sound design shows that is indeed night:-), cicadas, wind, trees rusteling, WWX and LWJ interactions are ...cute:-), but damn their own proud and stubbornness and yeah, there could be really some favourable situation...lol... in this scene you have your carefree everyday-flute-melody by the way... as the episode continues the bgm grows dark again as some cultivator talks about the recent events in regards to the cloud recesses...there is some bell in the bgm that sounds like a cemetry bell ...it’s unsettling...

11:27 - 18.50:

Event: the discovery of the cave and the follwoing events like the novel describes them, the little confrontation between Jin Zixuan and Wen Chao, and how Jin Zixuan is the first who jumps into the cave without any hestiation, how the others are entering and how they explore the cave, Wang Lingjiao wants to sacrifice Mianmian, Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji are the first who stand up for her!!! or more precise they didn’t turn away from her, here in the audio drama she is calling out to them and how Lan Wangji called back his own disciple (i think it’s Su She...*smirks*) and then the fight ensues with WWX jumping in and taking Wen Chao hostage on the back of the xuanwu (tortoise of slaughter, even though it is actually described as a hybrid between snake and tortoise in the novel, i know that the original godly beast is indeed a black tortoise:-))

BGM/Sound: there are just the necessity of sounds, rustling vines, perhaps some cicadas, a little bit of wind and the echoing voices as they reached the bottom of the cave and as Jiang Cheng analyses their situation - man, can’t you just shut up and don’t agitate the group, please... - slowly a dark bgm emerges which sounds like dripping water from the wall but in an unsettling melody...i got the impression that it sounds like they are under water but with wind blowing sounds mixed in...and as the scene with Mianmian unfolds, there is this change to the ghostery suspens bgm, the fighting sounds like always are very well designed (you can hear how the swords of the Wen are slashing out but don’t hit neither Jin Zixuan nor Lan Wangji....*drools, omg god their power even without swords....send help*, so WWX and Wen Chao’s confrontation is really surreal and hilarious...battle drums and sword slashing sounds all around them...while WWX reciting Wen rules:-)))...

18:51 - 24:35:

Event: the xuanwu moves, Wen Zhuliu safes Wen Chao, the xuanwu fighting, saving Mianmian once again, the escaping Wen, imprisoned in the cave, LWJ’s words of hope....*imagine his “There is some way out.” must sounds in a very dark underground cave with an ancient beast...i was like wow Lan Zhan (Wei Chao’s voice i am just ....hey you are just make me feel so relieved as if i would be trapped in this damn cave...)  you sound so confident and calm even you are injured and perhaps scared too, ahhh please i love him so much...and how our three were teaming up immediately 

BGM/Sound: wow this whole rumbeling of the beast is so well designed...the growling xuanwau is just impressive, it’s heavy steps and movements and the action bgm is perfect, you feel like you are in the scene, the crumbling weapons, the water splashing, the screaming of Mianmian and WWX saving her just to get branded...(Ouch, it hurts just to listen....!!) and even Jiang Cheng is pissed ...and then the escaping Wens - you can hear them cutting the vines!!! - ...and then the group in the cave feeling all helpless...and if WWX wasn’t here to lightten up the mood it would be much worse in here and then LWJ’s voice - he sounds so loud and clear, even his voice is like some little light and i am just ....*omg, Wei Chao you are so gooooood*, sorry if i repeat myself:-)) (”There is a way out. There were maple leaves.”) 

24:36 - 27:11:

Event: the  escaping and fighting  with the tortoise of slaughter, Lan Wangji gets bitten, o no what a cliffhanger! (it’s like in the novel, but the audio drama emphasizes the team work between WWX, LWJ and JC a little bit more! There are some little dialoge changes if i am not wrong...) and yes, i agree if you are saying Jiang Cheng’s achievements were not acknowledged later on ...and i can help thinking that the little Lan - s***** who shots the arrow at Wei Wuxian injuring him is Su She as a little f*** brat who wants to prove that he is better then LWJ....(but that’s just me:-)))), don’t take that too serious...!) and then WWX acts stupid and let’s himself bleeding onto the ground even LWJ is calling out: Don’t pull (the arrow)!”....and then he just saves him by throwing himself between WWX and the xuanwu....his scream as the beast bits him really sound like a decent “well, ouch.”, but if you listen closer you feel the teeth in your flesh...Wei Chao brings this whole pain into such a decent scream it freezes me every time...it’s much more effective then the whole western screaming at the top of your lungs, if you ask me....

BGM/Sound: the design of all the little details, like lighting up the torch, the reactions of the xuanwu, the bgm overlapping with the sounds, it is really some great action scene sound design!

27:11 - End: The unknown Song

I am sorry, but i can’t remember if this part is exactly like in the novel. There could be one or two different things, but in the end, the audio drama follows the rough events. Everything else is just my own humble opinion:-). And because this is some serious episode i changed my style a bit. I even discovered a small mistake in the english subs, but just a small one which didn’t affect the context or the whole comprehension. And in the next episode i will squeal very, very, loud about wangxian:-)!!! Until then!
