TGCF Animatic - Ch 175 / 176

Tian Guan Ci Fu / Heaven Official's Blessing by MXTX
It was amazing to read this scene, no matter how many times I read it, the suspense I feel is real.
By the way I was drawing as if something had possessed me, I finished this in two days lol
Music: Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky
Tik Tok: @kiexuu

[@shaneyzamora2525]

You know HC was embarrassed because his gege found his personal shrine.

[@kiexuu]

He was very scared and embarrassed, even he couldn't hide it and show confidence as usual.

[@loisma2356]

His brain was probably screaming in all the decibels trying to figure out if gege would be ok with this

[@Kictor]

This is LITERAL PERFECTION! The music had my heart racing! When Hua Cheng appears I died!!! Oh my goodness this is SO GOOD

[@wenningsradishes9040]

[@sonnvaglitch6385]

When i read this scene, i pictured it to be more funny, cuz in the reader’s perspective, we wanted them together. But now, i understand why they were reacting so much any it, hua cheng would have looked like a 800 year old stalker.

[@amyra8159]

Yeah, and they did saw some murals where he drew that scene where xie lian was poisoned in the cave and teen soldier hua cheng was guarding him. 👀

[@serenac.7192]

I mean, he kinda is a stalker, but the point is that Xie Lian needed someone that knew all of him without having to relive bad experiences, and not just what he shows people. He stuggles to open up, and generally puts on a mask of being ok. Hua Cheng already knowing everything gives Xie Lian relief and a sort of support that wouldn't have been possible any other way. Hua Cheng's reassurance counts for more since it's not just someone learning everything after Xie Lian has recounted this, he actually was physically there and experienced everything alongside Xie Lian.

[@nihuks3959]

@@serenac.7192 If he was actually there with Xie Lian and they knew, then that's not stalking, though

[@ipurpleu7105]

@@amyra8159 I see why they would be creeped out abt that when there’s no context

[@tetukas]

@@serenac.7192 Your comment actually opened my eyes a little. Thanks.

[@destinitaylor4360]

Honestly 💀 at least Xie Lian had someone who attempted to look after him. No one else did. And let’s be honest for Xie Lian who had no spiritual power the fact that someone so powerful was his ONE worshipper is probably one of the only things that kept him alive besides being immortal so 😭

[@goblin7189]

The second I heard swan lake my heart absolutely filled with such pure unadulterated joy you have no idea.

[@cephi]

sameee

[@user-qy3oq9jq2f]

I understand how someone can see this as a red flag and Hua Cheng is stalker. But the definition of stalker is: “a person who harasses, hurts or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive”. Hua Cheng is completely different he isn’t a stalker AT ALL. He didn’t even expect Xie Lian to even glance towards him, he didn’t harass him and didn’t hurt him (never even thought of it). He just wanted Xie lian protected, safe and looked after. His own desires didn’t matter.

[@thewillowtree727]

he's obsessed, but not a stalker. He respects Xie Lian too much

[@Pirates.27]

Also he is only bound to live (as a ghost) because of xl existence soo... Would be nonsensical if he wasn't obsessed. 😂 He has no other reason to stay in the world otherwise.

[@purplejiang8436]

you captured feng xin and mu qing's fear so much, they were fr scared for xie lian 😂

[@thepinkpolkadotsbutterfly3750]

i was literally screaming when hua cheng appeared , it was so intense and so well done!

[@Ep3tzYc]

🤯 When Hua Cheng showed up, I actually jumped scared for them 🤭 👌The drama is so well portrait... and the music's just "chef kiss" 🥰

[@user-xj5pi7fl6k]

I also scream when he appears and my father scoled me😅😂

[@missfortune5917]

There is something just so fucking special about this, thank you for making this piece of ART (also holy shit the way you drew hua cheng is so amazing, and the musical timing is just kjsrhtfliuahweriotuheirufhiesuhrfouerirugieh)

[@kiexuu]

Thank you

[@Dontgetyongbo33d]

@@kiexuuwill you post a part 2?!?

[@Dontgetyongbo33d]

No pressure tho

[@miyawasser]

This is unparalleled, I'm awestruck beyond words. The way you have captured everyone's emotions with utter precision? The outrage and fear and disgust that Fengqing felt. Hua cheng's terrifying anger. Xie lian.....not an ounce of fear in his face. He's only confused...about the statues, yes but more about the way Fengqing are reacting to the situation. The choice of music is so so good. Thank you for this brilliant piece of art. ♡

[@kiexuu]

💖💕

[@Mxtx_simp_disaster]

I feel like somehow, xie lian WAS scared thought, scared and confused, not of HC but of who he is, like he just learned that HC is hong hong er, that he carved at least 10 thousand statues of him and painted all the walls of this cave with xie lian and him on it. He is questioning himself, he his now really disturbed and quite afraid of HC obsession, but somehow enjoys it. It's crazy how well the artist portrayed this. ❤❤

[@vixen_alt]

This is SO GOOD But now I realized, in the end we never found out what Mu Qing and Feng Xin saw and told XL not to look

[@ipurpleu7105]

It was probably when he was poisoned by those flowers

[@farnregen]

Maybe the stabbing with the sword?

[@KoKoKorrrri]

Either something really traumatizing (in a weird way) or really traumatizing (in a gory way)

[@anuinam]

has to be something erotic/romantic or with sexual undertones. One more thing I wish was revealed along with HC's communication array password! How could MXTX not reveal it :(

[@theendlessdaydream6442]

I mean beyond the beautiful stills I could gush over individually, can we talk about how ridiculously well the music fits? Soft naive and innocent at first, building in swell as everything starts getting revealed, crescendoing with them finding (cough) that work, and taking a dark downward turn as Hua Cheng shows up out of nowhere phantom of the opera style. I felt that terror and guilt all over again, like I'd been caught reading someones diary without their permission. The fans of this series continue to blow me away. Seriously. The best collective of "Fine, I'll do it myself". If there was a chronological playlist of all of these chapter animatics, this definitely deserves to be in there.

[@kiexuu]

💞💞

[@syinex_kiwi8096]

Me the whole time: *repeats "Oh this isn't good- BUT IT'S GOOD! OH MY GOODNESS, GRACIOUS, LORD! This is the best I've seen~" as the song plays*

[@infatuatedghostfire]

this is unbelievable.. from the drawings to the exquisite choice of soundtrack. And the way Hua Cheng was portrayed, like extremely terrifying which is something most artists fail to achieve. Everyone makes him sexy and cocky but few actually capture his dark, wild, dangerous aura. Excellent, thank you for doing this!

[@tejaswini9994]

This was beautifully done!! My god when Hua Cheng appeared!! Just in this scene, I will side with Feng Xin and Mu Qing. This will flash red flags to anyone. No matter how much I love someone, if they made so many statues of me, I would be freaked out.

[@wenningsradishes9040]

Bro I stopped breathing halfway through this is pure awesomeness I can't wait to read this scene 😍

[@KilljoyAlienGirl483]

The music fits PERFECTLY, the moment it started I was filled with joy and excitement. The music is EXACTLY how this scene feels, one of my favorites in the book. I didnt realize I was holding ny breath til the video ended

[@menyougacha]

Damn, the way my heart dropped when he showed up lmao

[@sts.sam.my.]

I said this before on tik tok, but I must repeat myself. This is absolutely amazing. You expressed the tension of this scene just right (the song choice was also on point) When I read the novel, this was the only part where I actually started doubting and FEARING Hua Cheng, which you made me feel all again, so congratulations. Honestly, if you take a closer look, I guess the only person who was not scared of Hua Cheng was Xie Lian, Hua Cheng was probably also scared of what XL would think lol Anyways, it’s the second time you gave me chills, thanks for animating this scene!

[@kiexuu]

Tysm

[@fuhuasimp6976]

Like every simp, Huacheng has a whole collection of statues and paintings for his idol, just like modern day simps have figurines and posters…Hehehe we understand mate-, don’t be embarrassed and scare off the angsty two of them When Fengxin and Muqing sense Huacheng within a 500km radius their protective alarms go BRRRRR.

[@marianakristen9788]

This part of the book scared me so bad! because from their perspective it does look really messed up. But I'm so glad that xl still trusted HC and refused to take off the red string. I love this animatic so much, thank you!!!

[@KaiseaWings]

I love how this captures the _actual terror_ I felt reading this scene. Because if I didn't know damn well Hua Cheng would never expect or hurt- Look even _with_ that knowledge it's terrifying and I'm so, so glad the author played it that way. 'No this is chilling. Don't do this. They're weird.'

[@hoelian]

This is so good this is the literal definition of masterpiece ahhhhhh 😭❤️

[@takingasterix]

Wow this is gorgeous! The mixture of your style, the composition, the music (and especially the way the timing was executed)... all so wonderful! Can't wait to see anything else you create!

[@kiexuu]

Thank you so much!!

[@KoKoKorrrri]

This is so GOOD!! Also the part where they pan out to show the statues I said “oh shit gege found my fanart” out loud

[@gegesaurus4177]

Wow..!! You drew Hua Cheng just perfect with the devilish aura and the darkness in his eyes.

[@peanutplays123]

woah this is one of the best tgcf storyboards I've seen in a while 😭 the art style, THE WAY U DREW HUA CHENG, the way u captured each characters emotion perfectly, and the dramatic music to just tie it all together. this was perfection. you are very talented!!

[@midorionions9253]

Man, still my favorite animatic to this day. It's done perfectly with the music and the part where HC comes in gives me chills every time!

[@Anna-zi7sx]

You’re a god amongst mortals. Have all the incense I can buy for my meager earnings. I’ll build you hundreds of shrines, build dozens of temples and let a thousand lanterns fly in your name. Please make more of this.

Wow.... just...WOW, the music, the scenery, the art, the feels, the creepiness, the colors, everything is absolute perfection

[@Asummersdaydreamer14]

This is amazing work! Truly one of the most tense moments in the novel, and you depicted that so well along with some stellar musical timing. I also love how you captured feng xin & mu qing acting protective/ a normal amount of freaked out, while xie lian is willing to hear what his future intense artist husband has to say lol

[@stellarogers7756]

Why am I crying watching this? The tension you have shown is real!! This was the only feeling a couldn't get while reading these chapters though I knew that it must exist...I loved it!!!

[@celestenevid9412]

Ok, I was ready for feels and the marvel of seeing this illustrated but THE MUSIC!!!! THAT TENSION!!! THE BUILD UP!!! I believe firmly in the power of classical music to create epic moments and this was a DELIGHT!!! Absolutely love it!!!!
