藏海戏麟（1-4）Wang Zanghai-related Extras

藏海戏麟是2017盗墓笔记重启系列的一部分，主要讲述盗墓笔记里汪藏海的故事，首发于南派三叔微博，这里把藏海戏麟单独列出便于稻米阅读。(x) Tibetan Sea Opera is a part of the 2017 Tomb Robbery Notes: Reboot series, mainly telling the story of Wang Zanghai from Tomb Robbery Notes. It was first published on the Nanpai Sanshu’s Weibo; it’s listed here separately to make it easier for the fans to read.

i've translated all the four little extras npss wrote about zang wanghai (which exist in the raws website; link above) since i noticed that they're not on merebear's website, and i will be posting them as different posts here on tumblr. translations are all by me, with all my hsk5-approximate knowledge so they are not a cleaned up MTL, but an actual translation. that said, if someone knows better chinese than me (very easy to do) and thinks that some of my translation choices are weird or incorrect, feel free to tell me about it! links to each extra at the bottom of this post; and if anyone wants a pdf of all of them together, you can dm me here or on discord.

Translator’s Note: I’m putting the title down as “Tibetan Sea Drama” but that’s actually not entirely accurate, because it leaves out the last character, 麟. I’m not actually sure how to translate the title in a way that gets across the pun that I’m guessing NPSS was making so I’ll just explain it. 藏海 means ‘Tibetan Sea’ and it’s the same characters from the Tibetan Sea Flower book (aka 藏海花). Additionally, it is also Wang Zanghai’s actual name. As a verb, 戏 means “to play” and as a noun it means “drama; play; show”. 麟 is translated in all my dictionaries as “female unicorn”, but it’s the second character of 麒麟 | Qilin. So as is typical of NPSS, the title is punny and metaphorical with a double-layer meaning that I don’t think can ever get across properly in English.

藏海戏麟1——Tibetan Sea Drama 1

藏海戏麟2——Tibetan Sea Drama 2

藏海戏麟 3——Tibetan Sea Drama 3

藏海戏麟4——Tibetan Sea Drama 4

if you’re a gifmaker, you need to read this

staff has announced that on may 15, they’re forcing everyone to switch to the new beta post editor. this is very, very bad for gifs. @saintalicent made a post detailing the difference between the old and new post editors, but basically the new post editor shoves gifs into a text post and slightly resizes them, lowering the quality of the gifs.

gifmakers are the backbone of this website, and staff needs to be reminded of this. if you’re a gifmaker, please send polite feedback to staff explaining that you don’t want the quality of your gifs to be reduced and that this will negatively affect your experience on this website.

we got them to back off on the gif to mp4 thing last year, and we need them to back off on this. please reblog for visibility.

Upcoming Shows in the Lost Tomb Series

I'll continue to update this post on any rumors I see about the projects. None of these English titles are official and are subject to change when they air. MyDramaList version

Tibetan Sea Flower (藏海花)

Tibetan Sea Flower is a television series slated to have 36 episodes. It takes place 6 years after Ultimate Note. Wu Xie investigates Zhang Qiling's past.

Projected Air Date: Summer of 2023 (own projection)

Production: Currently filming. if there are no delays, filming should be completed in June 2022. Zhang Qiling's actor is done filming.

Cast:

Zhang Luyi as Wu Xie [starred as Wu Laogou in the Mystic Nine];

Chen Minghao as Wang Pangzi [starred as Pangzi in Sand Sea and Reunion];

Zhang Kangle as Zhang Qiling;

Wen Yongshan as Zhang Haixing;

Qiao Zhenyu as Xie Yuchen [starred as Xie Yuchen in Reunion].

Order: Comes after Ultimate Note and before Tomb of the Sea.

Based on: The second sequel to the main novel series. Available here.

Images/Videos: Opening Ceremony, ZQL Actor Wrapping Up, Behind the Scenes 1, BTS 2 (Weibo), BTS 3 (Weibo), BTS 4 (Weibo)

Tomb of the Sea 2 (沙海2）

Tomb of the Sea 2 is a planned television series announced by Xu Lei (author of novels) in a live stream in February 2021.

Projected Air Date: unknown

Production: in pre-production

Cast: Not yet announced. The original cast is highly unlikely to return.

Order: comes after Tomb of the Sea and before Reunion

Based on: unknown

The Mystic Nine 2 (老九门2)

The Mystic Nine 2 is a planned television series announced by iQiyi.

Projected Air Date: Q4 2023

Production: Pre-production

Cast: No cast announced. Most of the original cast will not be returning, but it seems the production team is still trying to get William Chan. Some rumors even say he has already signed on.

Order: After The Mystic Nine and before The Lost Tomb

Based on: no particular novel

Tibetan Sea Opera (藏海戏麟)

Tibetan Sea Opera is slated to have 36 episodes. It is about Wang Zanghai and what happened to him at the Heavenly Palace as well as how the Wang family came to be. Neither the iron triangle nor the mystic nine will appear in the show.

Projected Air Date: unknown

Production: Pre-production. It was recently mentioned in Xu Lei's Company's hiring notice, so it is still planned.

Cast: No cast announced or rumored.

Order: Before the Mystic Nine. It will take place in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

Based on: Wang Zanghai shorts on the author's weibo (untranslated).

Title Info: The Zanghai in the title means Tibetan Sea but it is also from Wang Zanghai's name (王藏��). Xi (戏) means drama/play and Lin (麟) comes from Qilin (麒麟). Lin is the female version of the mythical creature but it can also be used to refer to the creature in general. So, the show can also be translated as Wang Zanghai's Qilin Opera. The official English title will definitely be something different.

The Southern Archives (南部档案)

The Southern Archives is a side-story television series. The Southern Archives is a secret organization created by the Zhang Family. It explores the trials and tribulations of Zhang Haiyan (aka Little Brother Zhang).

Projected Air Date: Q4 2024

Production: Pre-production

Cast: No cast announced or rumored.

Order: Before The Mystic Nine and after Tibetan Sea Opera. It takes place during the early Republican Era (1912-1920s).

Based on: The Southern Archives, available here.

Other Planned Projects

Xu Lei's company puts out hiring notices that contain projects potential screenwriters will be working on. There is very little information about these shows/movies. I only included projects related to DMBJ.

2022 Spring Hiring Notice

Included all of the shows mentioned above and a project titled 《十一仓》 which refers to Warehouse 11...

2021 Hiring Notice

Included all of the shows mentioned earlier and a project titled 《新月饭店》 which refers to the Xin Yue Restaurant.
