Thanks for elaborating. I always thought it was two different companies which did the two dramas since there are discrepancies in the plot lines for Fengjiu. But I see now Jaywalk was actually involved in both. Would assume there’s higher likelihood of repeated cast if Lotus Step end up at Jaywalk but with how long it takes for the novels to be completed the cast would probably also age out of the roles anyway. I think the production quality of New Classics dramas are quite high. Since the IP is valuable, will hope for the best that whoever ends up with the rights will do a good adaptation. I’m more concerned with Tang Qi finishing her writing at this point lol.

@advo88 asked : Which company owns the rights to adaption of L.otus S.tep? The one who did T.en M.iles or P.illow B.ook?

Firstly, fair disclosure that I'm not an expert on film-making business or how producing works. 新丽 (N.ew Classics Media), I believe, is the company that currently has the rights to adapt L.otus Step. I say currently because frequently the rights are only sold for a couple of years and the adaptation would have to be completed within that timeframe or else the copyright would have to be extended (but in the case of, for example, the P.illowbook, when the time was up the copyright was purchased by a different company than the person who originally held the adaption rights).

I guess N.ew Classics Media is therefore technically not the company that adapted Ten Miles or P.illowbook, since J.aywalk is the company generally credited for those two dramas. However, N.ew Classics is a subsidiary of T.encent, which worked in collaboration with J.aywalk on the two previous dramas. N.ew Classics has done a couple of dramas that at least Admin Ro has been decently pleased with in the past - R.uyi's R.oyal L.ove, J.oy of L.ife, and most recently N.ew L.ife B.egins, for example. They've also done a couple...less than stellar adaptations, in Admin Ro's opinion - I am less than pleased with both of the J.in Y.ong adaptations under their production, and couldn't personally make it through S.word S.now S.tride despite thinking I would for its high crossover in terms of cast with J.oy of L.ife.

In all likelihood though, at least according to my knowledge and opinion of the matter, it will not be a production by a single company. Most of the times an independent production company has to work with another production company to air on a larger online platform/receive enough funding/sign all the actors they want, etc. etc. And anyway, we don't know who will end up with the adaptation rights when the books are finally done and they are able to adapt in the story's entirety.

You know what? I don’t even care if that means Red Room or the encounters they have had in the MCU past, I’m just HAPPY she talked directly to him and probably will have a few scenes more.

I’m HAPPY because I can see them together in the same scene after many years of loving their comic panels.

So yeah, even if WinterWidow doesn’t become canon in the MCU, I’ll be happy because it’s clear the directors, producers AND actors damn well know we love that couple.

Me: I want buckynat to happen but I hope they take it slowly instead of rushing into it like with the other marvel pairings

Nat: [says one sentence to Bucky]

Me: NOW KISS
