According to the latest announcement by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the China TV drama version of the famous Japanese light novel "The Tale of Caiyun Country" has been registered and will start shooting in March this year. The producer is Shanghai Yiyantang Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which once filmed the live-action version of "The Prince of Tennis".

The cover of the Caiyunguo Monogatari novel

"Caiyunguo Monogatari" is the work of Japanese light novel writer Yukino Saami. It has been published since 2003 and is now completed. What is better known to China audiences is the animated version broadcast in 2006. Due to its strong China style background and the exquisite pictures with women as the protagonists, it gained popularity in many Asian countries at that time. Because of this, the news of the shooting of the real-life series has also been hotly debated on Weibo, but the main focus is negative. Many fans believe that this live-action drama will inevitably make major changes to the original and turn it into a drama. Some people even suspect that the show is just copying and has not been authorized.

However, it can be seen from the filing form posted online that the TV series version is called "Colorful Cloud Country" and will start shooting in March this year. The production cycle will last 12 months and the total number of episodes will be 50. Judging from the characters and plot introduction, the plot of the TV series "Caiyun Country" is not much different from the original plot. At present, it has been clearly revealed on the official website of Yiyan Hall that this work is a remake of the work "The Story of the Cloud Country" by Japanese light novel writer Yukino Saami. Yiyantang had previously collaborated with Dragon TV on a remake of "Prince of Tennis". Although it won the viewing championship that year, its online reviews were mainly negative. However, thanks to the good relationship between the company's supervisor Gu Xiaodong and the famous Japanese director Shunji Iwai, the company has also cooperated with director Shunji Iwai and several Japanese television stations in recent years.

In the past two years, domestic producers have focused on Japan's classic IP products. Whether it is novels, comics or animations, there are live-action dramas in preparation, but the reputation is generally poor. Whether this remake will improve the quality of the film is still unknown.
