Glad you approve of the screencaps! (I don't think I meant JDH to come out quite so 董事长ish, but I couldn't resist the glasses-on-cap and turtleneck... also, you should only need one (1) guess at who Lu Zhuo is looking at.)
I'll say that season 3 shows some more village reality without directly confronting the policies, system, or history that create the reality. ...But also, no one (the show, the locals, the farmboys) pretends the reality is different than what it is. ...Again, nothing that confronts the system directly, but realistic about stuff like "there was a project to do x but it didn't help me with y." I'm looking forward to watching this, and it's very interesting. (No worries about spoilers, I don't think I'll be bothered by knowing anything in advance!) It's kind of the same thing one wonders about with some dramas--to what extent are they doing it deliberately/with awareness? where do the lines of what's okay to show fall? (sorry, terrible syntax) what do we need to know to read between the lines? and so on.
I enjoy listening for accents/dialects, but I can't really hear that much either, especially not tones--a lot of it is guesswork and assumptions! But it's fun to try and figure out. (I wonder if there are any good materials in English about dialect code-switching within China...).
全自动穿祸几 I got it slightly wrong! Fixed now in the post above--it should be 全自动闯祸几, sorry. (and yeah, it's a very satisfying term ;) )
I'd add that he develops a surprisingly good business sense, thinking through various ideas to get to the core questions of "why would someone be interested in [event/product/etc.]" and "would the cost of [event/product/etc.] be worthwhile, if not for short-term gain then for long-term business relationships." I feel like for Li Hao in particular that's solid professional good practice, given that a director is more likely than an actor or singer to be running their own projects, budget included. Good for him.
I don't think it's spoilery to say that Zhao Xiaotong adds to his repertoire of abilities in season 3! :D Look, at this point the only thing that would surprise me would be finding something that Xiaotong couldn't turn his hand to...
I see what you did there. XD I don't think my grammar is right but I couldn't resist ;)
