The Journey of Flower is a 2015 TV drama based on the fiction novel of the same name written by Fresh Guoguo (Chinese: Fresh果果; pinyin: Fresh Guǒguǒ[1]). The shooting of the drama started on May 6, 2014, in Guangxi Province, China and was wrapped up on September 14, 2014 in Hengdian, China. The preliminary work started one and a half years ago, including choosing outdoor scene locations and building filming sites in scenic spots.
The novel was released online first and it refers to the Daoist legends regarding the path to immortality.
Two versions of a three-minute short trailer, one in Chinese and the other dubbed in English, were released online, receiving more than 280 million views on Weibo and becoming one of the hottest topics on social media. In October 2014, two longer trailers dubbed in both Chinese and English language have been released in Cannes, France and received an overwhelming response. The uncut version was broadcast on ZingTV in Vietnam.
Plot
Hua Qiangu is an unlucky orphan who's looking for a chance to learn magic and martial arts to survive after her parents died. Appreciating her hard working nature and kind heart, and predicting her tragic destiny, she enters Chang Liu, an immortal sect, to seek peace and solutions. Bai Zihua, the sect leader of Chang Liu, takes her as his only disciple. Qian Gu falls in love with her teacher but doesn't reveal her true feelings until the end. Eventually, the truth has been revealed that she was born as Nü Wa's descendant and has access to godly power. She summoned the Demon God to save her master and the God transferred all his power into her body afterwards, therefore, making her the new ruler of the demons. Although Zihua tries to protect her and change her fate, Qiangu is constantly tortured by the machinations of those who wish to see her dead.
