for modern AU fics - what chinese media did diaspora consume?

making this post because some of us in the diaspora server were having a chat about what Chinese media "Diaspora Chinese" watched in the 90's - 2000's (and even sooner than that) while not having access to satellite chinese media or streaming services - this is in the context of writing modern AU fics based off Chinese media/novels (so your main character's grandpa or uncle is not, in fact, watching an episode of Friends or Shortland Street or something as flavour text because sorry what the hell-)

We generally watched a lot of stuff on VCDs, including bootlegged and non-bootlegged movies, shows, anime/donghua. My household had a whole VCD album of this, and a lot of VCDs (even if they were pirated editions) would have a fancy hardcover box with a magnetic clasp and some artwork representing the show on it.

All of this is Mandarin - so not TVB stuff, because I'm from Northern China and I don't know any cantonese - but Canto friends, please feel free to add to the list! This is mostly stuff my parents liked to watch, or I liked to watch with them, with the exception of a few which I mainly watched with friends/cousins when I was maybe (in most cases) eleven/twelve years old onwards. This is a pretty personal list, meant to give people general idea of a possible "ballpark" of sorts, and by no means exhaustive.

Now, for the list of shows which I can confirm I had or someone I know had on VCD or some kind of offline media format lol (I'll try add release year stamps and links to the EN wikipedia where possible):

Period dramas (mostly Qing Dynasty stuff):

Huan Zhu Gege 还珠格格 (1998, April-) This is a classic, so many memes come from this show; hugely popular series, basically cemented Zhang Tie Lin's face as the face of the Qing Emperor for about a decade. Tie Chi Tong Ya Ji Xiao Lan 铁齿铜牙纪晓岚 (2002-2010) - I loved this show as a kid and watched all four seasons on repeat with family... The "trio" in this show are well known and loved.

Amazing Detective Di Ren Jie / 神探狄仁杰 (2004) A very popular and addictive show. Ok now the Big Four:

Romance of 3 kingdoms 1994 / 三国演义 (1994) - a classic that has had many remakes, my older cousin would play this on repeat...

Hong Lou Meng/红楼梦 （1987） - another classic with many remakes, but I think the most recognised by the public one is the 1987 one.

Journey to the West / 西游记 live action (1986) - I think the 1986 version of the live action is the most recognised one. *Shui Hu Zhuan / 水浒传 (1998) - I am not too familliar with the live action of this one in my household tbh bc my mum doesn't like it lol (she keeps saying it's too depressing) but I'm sure it's up there with the rest of the big four, if anyone has an opinion on this one please let me know!

Modern setting shows:

My dad loved all the Sun Honglei (孙红雷 - actor name) stuff, iirc it was a lot of MinGuo period espionage stuff, your shanghai 1920's sxc aesthetic. This actor has been around since 1999? Qian Fu （潜伏）was very famous, and Ren Jian Zheng Dao Shi Cang Sang （人间正道是沧桑��。 These were around '08 and '09.

Chuang Guan Dong - 闯关东 (2008) (Baidu link, sorry - couldn't get an EN wikipedia one). This show was huge when it was airing, everyone was watching it. I was pretty young but even I watched it and got invested ... and I thought it was such an "old person" show at the time lmao. Xiao Bing Zhang Ga / 小兵张嘎 （2004） (sorry, again Baidu link) - yo, anti-japanese war movies set between 1937-1945 were crazy popular - this is one of them and was very popular):

Donghua/Anime (all the stuff kid me watched and some which I didn't but were popular):

喜羊羊与灰太狼 (2005-) Calabash Brothers / 葫芦兄弟 （1986-1987） Black Cat Detective / Hei Mao Jing Zhang 黑猫警长 （1984-2010） Lan Mao Tao Qi 3000 Wen 蓝蓝猫淘气3000问 AKA 蓝猫 (blue cat) (October 1999 - Present) Legend of Ne Zha 哪吒传奇 (2003) Journey to the West/Xi You Ji 西游记 This was truly the Donghua I grew up on from when I was a bb, the OP song and ED song are classic bangers all kids know. Slam Dunk/ 灌篮高手 - People truly watched a lot of anime that may or may not have been terribly dubbed into mando (possibly canto too). Late 80s and 90s kids were all over this, and Dragon Ball, Crayon Shinchan (labixiaoxin).

Taiwanese Dramas:

This is mid-late 2000's, I would be remiss to not talk about the Taiwanese dramas of this era. Mike He, Rainie Yang, Wu Zun (amongst many, many others) were huge. Stuff like Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao, it started with a kiss, Hua Yang Shao Nv (Taiwanese version of Hana Kimi) were all pretty popular. Not sure if these shows all hold up in 2023, but boy were they popular at the time.

Note about CNY:

For CNY, people would try to tune into 春节联欢晚�� (the CCTV official CNY show) at that One Friend Who Had China Satellite TV's house. Zhao Ben Shan / 赵本山 was a comedy staple, and the show would often feature people from the music industry to perform. Eventually these people became more and more relevant to my gen and Jay Chou etc started appearing.

Last but not least Xian Jiaaaan 仙剑:

In 2005 I was all over 仙剑奇侠传 (Chinese Paladin), based off the video game. This show was crazy popular and probably sent me and a whole lot of other kids into Xianxia / Wuxia hell (and Hu Ge hell, and later I came back to love Liu Yifei). Thank you. The OST is a true banger.

Sea Princesses 20th Anniversary Tie-Ins

There's two months to go until we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Sea Princesses. As I continue writing the climax to my epic event fanfic, I've got two new tie-in stories dropping this month.

Following the side story redux The Guardians and creepypasta The Successors along with the storyline skit in my Combo Rangers graphic novel reviews, I am proud to announce the new tie-in stories, Combo Rangers: Operation Wagan and The Investigation!

Combo Rangers: Operation Wagan is not going to be your ordinary superhero drama. In this war-torn world, the Rangers don't morph, but they still have powers which they use in the Drylanders' resistance against the Salacians. Join them as they carry out their mission to capture Penguin Prince Wagan, uncle to Penguin Princess Isa and prevent the Salacians from surrounding the Unified Resistance Army in Santos!

This story will be published on fanfiction.net here:

The Investigation follows a police investigation into Unified Resistance Army commander Parker Zhou's feuds with businessmen and army commanders after a number of people with known ties to him were found dead across São Paulo. A side investigation from a familiar figure also reveals a tragic incident in the early years of the war. Follow a story of friendship, brotherhood and revenge in this off-the-rails tale connecting the past and the present.

This story will be published on Tumblr under the following tag:

#sppdm 20th: the investigation

These tie-ins highlight an element that will be featured prominently in the main event fanfic, namely adaptation. Parts of the story will adapt storylines from multiple Chinese dramas memetic among netizens and popularised on sites such as AcFun and Bilibili. If you think these tie-ins are crazy, just wait until you see the main event.

New chapters will be released every Saturday AEST from 10 August to the end of September.

Join the Discord servers to be notified for the event fanfic in October!

Zhang Ziyi apaixona-se pelo professor que acabou de chegar à aldeia da província da China. Tenta atrair a sua atenção por pequenos gestos, até que um dia o professor vem almoçar a sua casa (numa circuito programado para se integrar e conhecer todos os habitantes da aldeia. Almoçava numa casa diferente a cada dia) e torna-se mais evidente o seu encanto por ele. Porém ele tem de regressar à cidade para prestar declarações, e só quando Ziyi adoece, ele vem à aldeia para a visitar, e no dia seguinte regressa para cumprir pena. O filme anda à volta da espera, das paisagens e tradições rurais da China e da importância da entidade do professor no meio rural. Boas paisagens, boas fotografia.

Summary:

The story takes place after the four master and apprentices went to the west to learn scriptures. At this time, Sun Wukong (played by Yu Shang) has been named as the Buddha of Fighting and Conquering Buddha, and the golden cudgel was returned to its original owner. Hearing that the thousand-year seal on the Demon Locking Tower was broken and demons were rampant, Sun Wukong came forward to subdue the demons and eliminate them. However, in the process, Sun Wukong discovered that the Heavenly Court actually had the act of referring to human beings as monsters and imprisoning them. Behind this, the sanctimonious Daoist Qingfeng manipulated everything. Wukong got acquainted with the human girl Yuexian (played by Zhang Xueyan) and the little monster Biliu (played by Li Honglei) who were slandered as demons, and they protected them on their journey to the west again, hoping to find Guanyin Bodhisattva and find out. When the court learned that Sun Wukong led the monsters in the monster lock tower to escape, they sent heavenly soldiers and generals to block their way. In the face of powerful pursuers, can Monkey King and his party reach their destination smoothly?
