Hello, this is AvenueX's second video on the lip reading
for sugar that would cover the entirety of Word of Honor.
Shan He Ling
Last time I stopped around episode 14.
So today we're gonna take it all the way to the end of the drama,
same as the first video.
It doesn't cover every little bit that has been changed in post production,
because not all the changes are actually necessarily related to sugars.
Also I need to warn you because i'm taking it to the very end of the drama.
If you haven't caught up with the drama and you really hate spoilers
i'll leave the time code in the description of this video letting you know when
i'm gonna talk about what line in what episode so you know where to stop.
So let's head right into it.
First thing episode 14,
there isn't a line in the drama that got changed in dubbing,
but there is a line that was omitted in the drama version
which existed in the book version,
right at the end when the two male leads had a big quarrel
and ZZS left, before that WKX was saying,
Lucily, luckily, and then there's no future lines.
whereas in the book
He actually said one line
*notes on screen
Luckily, I haven't yet liked you too much.
I don't think that's true, though.
He has totally fallen
and he probably is not 100% aware of that.
In episode 16,
there is a scene that's not related to the two male leads
but very interesting.
It's related to Share and Eve, that's how they're called in china,
the scorpion king and his adopted father.
There's a flash-back scene that shows you scorpion king is
the person responsible for killing the young man that
showed up many episodes earlier
in the drama, currently airing
You'll hear him saying
*notes on screen
This king, calling himself, mou ju, plotting and strategizing
qi rong ta ren ran zhi
How can I bear other people messing with my plan,
cheng jiu da ye
making a huge ambition come true
you wo yi ge jiu gou le
which is referring to my adopted father doesn't need anyone else.
I am more than enough,
so I got rid of you which actually kept the
essential meaning of the original lines,
but took out all the implications of his
real relationship with his adopted father.
What's really spoken when they filmed the drama by the actor
is
*notes on screen
wo ta zhi ce, qi rong ta ren han shui (I said "an shui" by mistake)
comes from an ancient prose
what it means is on the side of your bed
How can you bear another people snoring away?
Which means you cannot bear any other people getting into
your territory because this is much more direct about.
First, I am the monopolizing person of the adopted son and
father relationship, also on the bed side...
the script writer is very clever about suggesting things here,
but it's kind of too obvious.
That's why they changed it.
And the second line is,
yi fu shen bian you wo yi ge jiu gou le
so it's not making something ambitious happening, I would be enough
it is by the side of my adopted father,
if there has to be one.
I am enough
episode 17,
quite a lot of famous moments.
First when Chengling was practicing and Ye Baiyi,
Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu were all watching there.
WKX said a line and pretty much doing advertisement for the nut company
in the drama version you hear him saying
*notes on screen
I had to queue a long queue to buy this nuts
whereas the real line here is
*notes on screen
The first part is the same I queued a long queue
but the later part is to buy it for YOU
So it's been specific about I got this for you.
Then after he got drunk and they got back to the bedroom,
WKX reached out,
and then ZZS turned away.
After that ZZS said a line,
and the dubbing changed a little bit of it.
In the drama version, you'll hear him saying,
*notes on screen
I can't bear looking at how pretentious you are as if you're wearing a mask.
So that's the meaning of that line.
The actor Zhang Zhehan
actually said when they filmed it,
*notes on screen
So it's very similar.
They changed the heng heng ji ji to jia mo jia yang
and then the second line they added (gua) zhe mian ju, wearing a mask
whereas in the original one there isn't a "wearing the mask"
I cannot bear looking at
your not just been pretentious,
but being heng heng ji ji,
heng heng ji ji is a word to describe somebody being not straightforward and
trying to get what they want by acting a little bit girly and like a child.
So it's like..... you make that sound, so that word is actually
describing the sound people make when they try to get something.
Heng heng ji ji and then the second line is
jia mo jia yang, putting on a pretence.
I'm just guessing maybe they find hhjj is too girly,
they're trying to be extra cautious.
At the very, very end of this episode,
we have that beautiful moment.
When ZZS has already left.
and WKX is on the bed looking as he walks away
and said very quietly to himself,
*notes on screen
Previously ZZS is like, let me see your heart
which is let me see your secret.
Let me see who you really are and then I can help you.
WKX's replied here is 121 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,470 kan guo le zhi hou, after you've seen it,
ni jiu bu hui dang wo shi peng you le,
you wouldn't think of me as your friend anymore.
What he actually said it was
*notes on screen
after you've seen it, you wouldn't wanna bother with me
you would just walk away from my life.
So it's a little bit more direct expression of emotion.
So I can see why they changed that.
What i've heard about this drama is in their original script.
It's much more daring than the version you see today.
While they were filming it,
they already tuned it down and in post production.
They tuned it down even more.
So the fact is the Word of Honor if it was made exactly as the original script is,
we probably would be screaming like all the time,
maybe in a parallel universe
moving on to the very classic episode 18.
When they got out of the cave,
they were running away from all those drug zombies.
They had a pit stop and had a few lines of chick fight
before they head over and crossed that big canyon.
WKX was patting on ZZS
in the drama, you hear him saying,
*notes on screen
which means you're acting so arrogantly
therefore you got striken by lightening
this line is SO changed
He actually said
ni zhe jiao (you action is..)
*notes on screen
qing chang
chang is a field, qing is emotion (love)
So qing chang here it means the battleground for love,
because you're de yi, which means you get what you want.
So you're happy, you're satisfied with your love affairs,
with what happens with your romantic life.
Therefore, zhan chang shi yi, you lose what you want at the actual battlefield,
which is they've just fought off like the zombies.
And ZZS was complaining.
There are only a few times i've been chased like this
WKX is so on the nose about that.
Because you have me, you know you're happy with having me
therefore heaven is fair and makes your
life difficult that fighting off zombies.
Now we're gonna take a big jump,
not because there hasn't been any changes
happening among those episodes in the middle.
just because they're not very related to sugar and stuff.
Episode 28, very beautiful scene
chinese new year's eve dinner scene with really terrible food
Like that chicken soup looks like just hot water.
WKX and ZZS had this exchange,
he drinks and he said 2 lines
*notes on screen
nobody would drink with me under the light
So it means at night and wu ren wei wo xin you
nobody would understand what I feel sad about.
So he said, had I not met you, had I not had this life that would be my life.
But the actor actually said,
*notes on screen
first line the same, second line
get ready
*notes on screen
no one together with me, white head.
So that's a direct translation.
Had I not met you.
There would be nobody to grow old with me to grow
to the point where we both have white hair.
Yeah, I see why it has to be changed.
There's no way this line is gonna get through censorship.
No way.
Then episode 32,
the lateral cliff hanging scene
when wkx was standing there facing off
all the heroes who wanna destroy him,
ZZS hops down,
walks up to him before they turned around and face all the enemies.
ZZS looked into WKX's eyes
and said this line in the drama version,
*notes on screen
which means stop making this much trouble.
But what's actually spoken if you slow it down, pay attention.
I've looked at that scene many times trying to confirm it
and i'm pretty sure it is true as people have managed to find out
what's actually spoken by Zhang Zhehan at that moment was
*notes on screen
You are my person.
Do you remember in the first video?
I said he had the scene when he said you are the person wo ren ding
I'm sure of you, you are the person that I picked.
There's no one else
this is the same thing just didn't bring out the "ren ding"
But literally is, ni shi wo de ren, you are my person
literal translation
yeah, I can see why it has to be changed.
Also.
I think this is a line from the original book, too.
Episode 35, the absolute heart wrenching episode
after the fight,
WKX was almost passed out.
And we have this very classic scene in the book and also in the
drama that very classic hand touching scene that in every kind of
way is, symbolic, religious,
however you wanna interpret that,
but ZZS had a line spoken in the drama you'll hear him saying
lao wen, literally is calling WKX
but actually what was spoken by the actor was
*notes on screen
which is what happened to you,
what is going on with you, it's a question about your condition.
I'm feeling like maybe they feel calling the name actually is a more in the
moment thing than saying ni zen me le, cause you can totally see
He's hurt, he got poked through by a sword in his chest
clearly he's not well
it's more like trying to get a better logic for that scene
Now we can head into the last episode which is a heavy episode
ok? so sit tight, this is important
for the version you watch.
If it's a direct translation,
which I do not know from the chinese drama version,
it will confuse you to no end,
because you just cannot figure out what they were doing.
Is it BE, is it HE, happy ending, bad ending, open ending?
what the heck is going on?
I've already explained that in my live stream video,
i've mentioned everything I know about the ending and why end up like that
If you're curious.
Go ahead and check that out pretty much.
After that.
You will be happy about it.
The lip dubbing went crazy about the
end of episode 36 and two major chunks.
One is a sugar line when they are in the treasure cave.
one is afterwards.
The last scene
First, let's talk about the treasure cave.
when ZZS read the liu he shen gong
that scroll that says how to practice
that crazy technique Ye baiyi knows
WKX was standing on his side and start commenting on practicing that.
And what is the price you have to pay for it
You'll hear him say,
*notes on screen
ye jiu shi shuo
That means
ji bian huo zhe li kai ci chu, eventhough we can leave here alive
yi hou ye de chang jiu yin ju ji han zhi di
in the future we had to live in seclusion in extremely cold places
shi xue yin bing, eat snow and drink ice
mei wan mei liao de huo xia qu, live indefinitely.
But what's actually spoken is much more uh.
Personal.
So what the actor actually said was
*notes on screen
so there are similarities for sure,
looking at the two paragraphs,
ye bu zhi dao, i'm not sure or I cann't tell
ni wo ruo wu yuan li kai ci chu
if you and me cannot leave this place
So instead of saying,
even if we leave the place, he actually said,
if we cannot leave this place,
ni yuan bu yuan yi he wo cong ci shi xue yin bing
would you want. would you be willing to from now on with me eat snow,
drink ice,
mei wan mei liao de huo xia qu, live indefinitely.
Honestly, I don't see there's a huge problem with that.
It definitely is not like on the nose about
like being really intimate and stuff,
but it clearly is suggesting living with me.
It's emphasizing that picture of two love birds living
in their own little eden and heaven and...
so it got changed.
Now, head over to the last bit, really complicated,
but i'll try my best to explain it to you.
So the cheng ling telling stories to his students.
It's so overdubbed,
literally every line in that is changed.
Once you decipher what's actually spoken by the actor,
playing the adult Chengling
you can be 90% sure that the original happy ending is a happy ending.
In the drama.
You hear Chengling say.... it's a long line,
so forgive me for reading it literally off my notebook like this.
*notes on screen
Quickly roughly translate it
there has to be one person who willingly
sacrifice their body as the furnace to
pass.
This zhen qi, the qi that he practiced and
cultivated, put that into the other person's body
no matter how strong their capability and strength is,
even if the person doesn't die on the spot,
exploding that type of thing,
eventually they're Jin Mai would all be broken.
So Jin Mai is your kind of energy passage,
whereas intense lip reading would show what actually was spoken by the actor was
get ready
*notes on screen
then there's a line that's cut out because it cuts to the students.
We don't know what's spoken by the lip,
but we can guess what's spoken.
The second half of that line was.
*notes on screen
It has to be two people having the same heart,
so same kind of mind.
xiang shou xiang hu, accompany and protect each other,
hai yao quan xin quan yi de hu ren wei zhi ji
also they have to fullheartedly
recognize each other as their Zhi JI
the person who knows you perfectly and this line is weird,
the one line after
I literally stared at the actor's mouth for
like 20 times and I think it's actually true,
but it sounds very,
very obvious,
which is yin zhi jian bao chi xiang ai,
literally means because between them,
they kept the state of being in love with each other,
literally like that, super direct.
cai neng zai chu jing wei ji zhi ji
because of then, then they can at the times when the other person is in danger,
chuan di zhen qi, passing that qi to each other
du guo nan guan, so that they can get over those difficult obstacles
Then it's the line that cuts to the students.
So we don't know what Chengling said,
but when the shot comes back to his face,
he said bei dui fang bao hu de bu si ren,
undead person being protected by the other one.
So people assume and guessed the line when
the shot is on the student was
therefore,
when they succeed at practicing liu he sheng gong,
they would become undead as they are protected by the other person.
As you can see, what's actually filmed on the day was really direct,
because he's saying these two people have to
love each other, so they can help each other,
and therefore they become undead.
If you have further questions about the ending,
really and just all the ins and out and all the Information that is floating
on internet and figuring out what it is
go and watch my live stream
I have time coded it.
So you don't have to waste your life and time and can head over
straight to that particular point when I talked about the ending.
So this will conclude my my two videos on the lip reading for Word of Honor
I don't think something like this has ever happened in Chinese dramaland
regarding a BL drama that airs, that changed so much of its lines,
but then still leave you clues for you to figure out what's actually spoke.
obviously it's also because
there aren't that many BL dramas to start with
Hopefully these two videos have been informative and helpful to you
for you to dig out even more sugar out of this already
surprisingly satisfying BL adaptation drama.
Shan He Ling
Word foreigner, thank you for watching AvenueX
I'll see you in my next video.
Meanwhile.
Live long and happy sugar digging.
