My Chinito Prince

[kevvoi]

MLV Film Productions after finishing Stranger's Kiss has another series coming down the pipeline. A first teaser has been released (though I will admit it doesn't give much away):



The mydramalist page for it is more promising with a list of relevant tags:

mydramalist.com/695063-my-chinito-prince

Unfortunately, google search isn't bringing up much else.

Another non-descript teaser has been released:

This looks like another teaser but they haven't made it clear.

Love continues...

The OST has now been released (instrumental):

Looks like they've rejigged it into two parts.

I am very confused by how they are trying to premiere things - now they have two premiere links - one for episode labeled episode 1 and the other for episode 1/2???

Edited to add - I didn't see Antistatic's update of their post.

Yes, they seem to have been very undecided on how they wanted to present it. I noticed my original link had been made private so there was always a possibility it might come back again which was why I didn't remove it. Kevvoi's updated link had been 'removed by the uploader' so I knew that one was definitely dead. Later my original link did indeed come back online but was now only part 1 of 2 so I checked the MLV channel and sure enough, they had uploaded a second part, so I just edited that into my original post too.

I suppose it's one of the hazards of using advance premiere links, they can become invalid for all sorts of reasons before the actual time. To be honest I used to avoid using them if I could help it because they were found to be prone to hacker attacks (presumably the extra time they were around gave hackers time to find a back door and drop malicious code into the real .exe link which is much more substantial than the one we see). YT claim they have put robust defences in place, but who knows? Then of course, as has been illustrated by this instance, we have the indecision of the video authors to contend with. YT obviously aren't going to change their mind about their use though so there's not much we can do about it.

Links for the three parts of Episode 2 have now been uploaded:

Episode 3 premieres on June 14th. I am not sure if it is going to be for the whole episode or if it will be for the first part:

Kevvoi - that link was indeed only for part 1. Here's the second part:

Once again the original link posted by kevvoi to the next episode has been taken down by MLV at the last minute.

Here's their new replacement links for Episode 4:

Link for Episode 5:

Looks like there is going to be at least an extra week's delay before the next episode appears according to this announcement from MLV:

"The shooting of the MLV Film Production's ongoing series: My Chinito Prince, would be postponed for a week to focus on artists and staffs health and safety. MLV value everyone working on the series. Subsequently, the release of the next episodes would still be pursued. Further announcement would be release regarding the matter."

I'm not sure what is going on with this series. Over a week ago MLV made an announcement that episodes had been delayed by a week due to Health and Safety concerns.

However, since then they have removed everything else to do with this series from their channel too. All the links on the thread no longer work as the previous episodes are no longer there. The teasers, OST tracks and related interviews have all been removed too, as has the series playlist.

There is a possibility the videos could be restored at some stage in the future but it doesn't bode well that they have completely stripped the show from their channel. That tends to imply the series has quietly bitten the dust.

Everything but episode 4 is back up and this morning, they posted a extra clip (though ep 5 does not appear to have subs):

I must admit I was in two minds about whether to link to the new teaser advertising unseen footage above when I first saw it this morning and personally decided against it for a couple of reasons. First, the series was officially cancelled (unfinished) a few weeks ago, so we will never get to see any further episodes or the end of the story and even though most of the available episodes are currently back at the moment, there is a possibility they might go again depending on future developments.

The reason for that, and what put me off the most, was the fact that this has been revealed to be another problematic production company that is now mired in accusations of invalid contracts, poor or no compensation, "grave threats" to staff, and various claims of mistreatment and sexual harassment.

In the end it didn't really sit well with me that the company looks like it is trying to make a final money-grab against this show by putting out the unused footage presumably shot for future episodes and featuring the work of the artists it is currently in dispute with.

Others may see this matter differently to me and that's fine.

Weirdly now part 2 of episode 4 is showing up (also without subs) and another deleted scene clip was posted.
