Pic Spam: Zhao Yunlan and Hei Pa Shi Before
One of my favorite flavors of Weilan is prior to Zhao Yunlan finding out Hei Pao Shi = Shen Wei. Because of that I decided to watch the first 11 episodes, since technically Zhao Yunlan realized HPS = Shen Wei at the end of the episode.
The snippets I gathered amounted to 125 pics and then I ruthlessly pruned it down LOLOLOL. So here is the best of the best. Also, some of the pictures are blurry because of the transition of frames/how quick it was, but I wanted to include it either way :D
Episode 1:
HPS is on the scene! :D


I love this angle and I really love that it's focused on ZYL and HPS is unfocused. It's very ZYL POV feeling of it.

I love how this has LQ between ZYL and HPS.

A little panoramic view!



I had to include Sus Da Qing :D And once again someone in the 'middle' of them.

Episode 2:
I like how in Episode 2 it feels like we're now in HPS POV as the camera is focused on HPS and ZYL is now blurry.

Episode 4:
The shock in this picture is great and look at poor unconscious Da Qing.

HPS is here and has saved the day!

Again, people in the middle of Weilan :D

The clench of ZYL's jaw right here!

I always felt this particular part was so poignant with HPS watching ZYL walk away.

Episode 5:
Nothing for this episode that I saw :D
Episode 6:
These next bunch of pics have a lot of eye-subtext IMO! :D



Episode 7:
No HPS/ZYL but I couldn't pass up the bear scene :D

Episode 8:
Again, no HPS/ZYL but one of the bestest Weilan moments :D *sobsobsob*

Episode 9:
There wasn't anything for HPS/ZYL but it was hard not to snippet everything in this episode for just Weilan moments :D
Episode 10:
This is a pretty dark snippet but I just love how HPS puts himself in front of ZYL. PROTECTIVE!




HPS feeling some dark energy depletion here :D

ZYL brought the sundial. I'm not sure HPS is a fan LOL.

Sundial lead the way! :D

They arrive on scene and before ZYL can run into trouble HPS arm grabs to stop him! :D Arm grab! :D

Surprised ZYL!

Another angle!

They face the threat together!

TOUCHING SHOULDERS TOUCHING SHOULDERS! :D

Episode 11:
The next set of pictures are blurry. It's when HPS catches ZYL after he tries to free WZ from the dark energy bindings. Look at that hand outstretch-reach!!

Caught him!!!!! :D


HPS so concerned :D

ANGRY HPS. They touched his ZYL.

So the next part ZYL shoots his dark energy gun and I just had the realization is this the first time he actually shot it instead of freezing up? IF SO OMG he did that to protect HPS! sob sob sob sob sob.

Gotta keep protecting HPS! :D

The AWL is retrieved! :D

We're coming to the final picture - I mean I could ADD SO MANY MORE - but this is so long already LOLOL. So here I will end it with the final picture where ZYL realizes that HPS is definitely Shen Wei.

Phew that's a lot of pics :) I hope you enjoyed the picspam! I don't have a lot of thoughts, I just wanted to share some snippets from the first eleven episodes between HPS and ZYL prior to ZYL realizing HPS and SW are same.
I hope everyone enjoyed! :D

ZYL happily waving to HPS at his arrival at the SID. LOL.
I love this viewpoint through the blinds.




Walking through the hallway! :)
The liminal space I love it!

Heeee, I know that feeling so well! Congrats on your pruning, and on such a fantastic screencap selection! *\o/*
I love this angle and I really love that it's focused on ZYL and HPS is unfocused. It's very ZYL POV feeling of it.
Yesss -- and the way they're not even looking at each other, too. That feels very ZYL-pov in itself. *noogies him*
Love the panoramic view *hearts* and all the shots of different people between them (there's one further down in ZYL's office with the SID shield between them, which seems symbolic, too). And omg, the shot of Zhao Yunlan trying to make nice with the Envoy, lol. ♥
ZYL happily waving to HPS at his arrival at the SID. LOL.
Hee! And the Envoy being stone-faced and serious.
The clench of ZYL's jaw right here!
asdklfajsd;lfkasdf;lkajsdfadslkfj (That shot always looks like forced perspective to me -- Zhao Yunlan looks so tiny, compared to the towering Envoy, lol!)
(BEARS!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D)
There wasn't anything for HPS/ZYL but it was hard not to snippet everything in this episode for just Weilan moments :D
Hee! I commend your restraint!
Arm grab! :D
!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
It's when HPS catches ZYL after he tries to free WZ from the dark energy bindings. Look at that hand outstretch-reach!!
Ahhhh! *flail*
ANGRY HPS. They touched his ZYL.
YES! He looks so furious!
So the next part ZYL shoots his dark energy gun and I just had the realization is this the first time he actually shot it instead of freezing up? IF SO OMG he did that to protect HPS!
Yessss! \o/ \o/ \o/
So here I will end it with the final picture where ZYL realizes that HPS is definitely Shen Wei.
Ahhh, I adore that scene! What a great place to end!
Thank youuuu! This was utterly delightful. *rolls around in it like a puppy* :D :D :D :D :D

Yesss -- and the way they're not even looking at each other, too. That feels very ZYL-pov in itself. *noogies him* - I absolutely love how much we see them not looking at each other, and yet they're still focused on each other (if that makes sense?!)
Love the panoramic view *hearts* and all the shots of different people between them (there's one further down in ZYL's office with the SID shield between them, which seems symbolic, too). And omg, the shot of Zhao Yunlan trying to make nice with the Envoy, lol. ♥ - GASP! I didn't even see that but YES YES! I love it!! That definitely seems symbolic. They're in the 'beginning' stages of their relationship and everything is between them - people, jobs, responsibilities. AHHHHH.
Hee! And the Envoy being stone-faced and serious. - SO stone-faced. SUch hard lines of his face LOL. I love it!
asdklfajsd;lfkasdf;lkajsdfadslkfj (That shot always looks like forced perspective to me -- Zhao Yunlan looks so tiny, compared to the towering Envoy, lol!) - I have had that thought too about the perspective. HPS shown in a 'powerful' position, as it were, and ZYL behind him, hands figuratively tied!!
YES! He looks so furious! - SO FURIOUS.
Ahhh, I adore that scene! What a great place to end! - I loved this scene too. I remember when I first saw it and I was all: GASP! OH NOOO SW's secret revealed!!!
Thank youuuu! This was utterly delightful. *rolls around in it like a puppy* :D :D :D :D :D - I'm so glad you enjoyed the picspam!! :D
Thank you for the lovely lovely comment! Squee!!

Pruning is such hard work! T_T
I especially love the Hanga cave pictures because those moments happen quickly and it's so nice to see them in detail here.
ANGRY HPS. They touched his ZYL.
♥!!! I love it!
Thank you for these!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this pic spam and THANK YOU for the lovely comment!!!! :D

LOLOLOL indeed! The eternal problem of doing picspams. *g*
I love the moments you've chosen, especially since several are ones that don't often get shown - some of them may be blurry, but they're well worth paying attention to!
The first one already, with the Envoy's silhouette in the foreground and Zhao Yunlan in the back, looking at him - such a cool pic!
I love this angle and I really love that it's focused on ZYL and HPS is unfocused. It's very ZYL POV feeling of it.
And this! Yes!
And all the moments where there's significant physical distance between them, and another character in the middle! I'd never noticed that quite so clearly, thank you for pointing that out!
Looking at your caps, it's also striking how often the Envoy is essentially a silhouette - the black robe and hood make that easy, of course. But very cool way to add to the mystique of the character. *g*
I like how in Episode 2 it feels like we're now in HPS POV as the camera is focused on HPS and ZYL is now blurry.
♥ ♥ ♥
The clench of ZYL's jaw right here!
Yes! And also the foreground vs. background - Shen Wei is in the foreground, but the framing draws attention to Zhao Yunlan.
No HPS/ZYL but I couldn't pass up the bear scene :D
Always mention the bear scene! :D
This is a pretty dark snippet but I just love how HPS puts himself in front of ZYL. PROTECTIVE!
Yes! I love it!

Oooh! I love that you capped this! So much love!
ANGRY HPS. They touched his ZYL.
♥ ♥ ♥
and I just had the realization is this the first time he actually shot it instead of freezing up? IF SO OMG he did that to protect HPS! sob sob sob sob sob.
OMG!!!!! I never put that together like that before, that's awesome!
So much love for all of this. Thank you again for a fabulous picspam! :D

LOLOLOL indeed! The eternal problem of doing picspams. *g* - Such the eternal problem such the eternal problem LOLOLOL :D
I love the moments you've chosen, especially since several are ones that don't often get shown - some of them may be blurry, but they're well worth paying attention to! - Some of those blurry ones are my favorite :D Especially all the cave scenes! I'm so glad you and so many other people enjoyed them :D
And all the moments where there's significant physical distance between them, and another character in the middle! I'd never noticed that quite so clearly, thank you for pointing that out! - I don't think I noticed it until I really started grabbing pics :D It just kept popping up and I just have to think it was a purposeful sort of thing the directors chose :D
Looking at your caps, it's also striking how often the Envoy is essentially a silhouette - the black robe and hood make that easy, of course. But very cool way to add to the mystique of the character. *g* - YES! I love how the Envoy is a dark silhouette. Which could be seen as menacing possibly, or scary, and like you said it adds to the mystique of the character!! :D
Yes! And also the foreground vs. background - Shen Wei is in the foreground, but the framing draws attention to Zhao Yunlan. - I love the foreground/background too! They used that a lot I noticed for the two of them as well :D
OMG!!!!! I never put that together like that before, that's awesome! - SAME SAME! When I was capping the cave pictures I was all: OMG really this is the first time isn't it? OMG my heart my heartttttttttttttttt.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the picspam and thank you for such a lovely comment!!!! :D
