Empresses in the Palace is the first drama of this kind in recent years, in which the queen played by Ada Choi truly interprets the characteristics of the role. From being virtuous at the beginning to being crafty later, Ada Choi used his acting skills to tell the audience step by step that acting skills can be more explosive. For example, it was finally revealed that the queen played by Shao Fen framed Chunyuan, and the emperor put him in the cold palace in a rage. This is a simple scene, but it is one of the most classic scenes in Ada Choi and Qin Jianbin's plays. Because in this abandoned drama, Ada Choi not only has many lines, but also needs high emotions.
So when we started shooting, Ada Choi's Mandarin was not standard, so it was impossible to answer the lines in Mandarin. So I asked the director to speak Cantonese, and the director agreed to this language requirement. At that time, when we were racing, Mr. Chen Jianbin didn't understand Cantonese and looked puzzled. Although there is a script, but because of the language barrier, the director Zheng Xiaolong doesn't know Cantonese, so he left. After Ada Choi finished reading all the lines, director Zheng Xiaolong also asked the people next to him: "Has he finished reading?" This kind of question is also very funny.
However, although Ada Choi used Cantonese when shooting, some staff members looked confused. But through her bursting acting skills, Jean became the crowning touch of the queens in the palace drama.
