Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Chapter 349 First Time Playing the Emperor

Everyone shared their views on the Ming Dynasty, expressing their opinions and discussing the emperors of the Zhu family.

"Alas! The Ming Dynasty truly only prospered for three generations."

If Zhu Zhanji had lived a few more years and the Tumu Crisis hadn't happened, the outcome would certainly have been better!

"There were too many wars. Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Di to the battlefield from the age of a few. After becoming emperor, he fought many battles and was injured a lot. How could he possibly live a long life?"

A group of people felt sorry for the Ming Dynasty!

We are all Han Chinese, and we have a special feeling for this last Han dynasty with backbone.

"We should make more films and television dramas about the Ming Dynasty in the future. Look at those dramas about the Qing Dynasty now, they make me angry."

Wang Xueqi complained with some dissatisfaction!

"It's tough! There are too many old-fashioned people in the industry; it's impossible to move them! Do you know how much effort the production team put into making this series?"

"There are too few Ming Dynasty fans. Most dramas about the Qing Dynasty rely on palace intrigue to attract female viewers, but Ming Dynasty fans are generally male, and men are not the main audience for these dramas."

"Although the emperors in the later Ming Dynasty were a bit of a mess, the empresses were all very good. In addition, the Zhu family always doted on the empresses, so those women couldn't really start palace intrigues!" Yu Haoming said with a smile.

"Who can you possibly compete with? Empress Ma, Xu Miaoyun, Empress Zhang Yan, and even the deposed Empress Hu Shanxiang were all quite good empresses when they were in power!" Liang Guanhua said, his eyes wide.

He has acted in many period dramas and has a deep understanding of history.

After a drinking session, these grown men talked about the five thousand years of Chinese history, but they didn't mention a single woman. I'm really impressed!

This shows that when a group of men have no desire to release their pent-up emotions, women are not what they are thinking about.

Sometimes it's more enjoyable to talk about history!

Everyone drank to their hearts' content, and the party didn't end until 11 o'clock.

The storyline being filmed this week is quite interesting.

If described in the humorous style of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty," it should be called...

"Zhu Lao Er happily receives the 'Experience Card' for the Executive Vice Emperor, and pays his own way to work."

Zhu Di was short of money for his wars, so he used the "Experience Card of the Executive Vice Emperor" to swindle money from his second son.

Zhu Di, lying on his sickbed, looked at his second son with deep affection and said, "You're just like me! The Crown Prince is unwell, so you'll have to help me more. Take on the responsibility of overseeing the country first!"

And he also sent his eldest son home to rest.

The second child, encouraged by his father and given a "Vice-Emperor Experience Card," rolled around on the floor with joy.

After receiving the trial card, the second prince specially changed into a new python robe the next day and, surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs, came to the office to begin exercising his rights as the vice emperor.

When he first took office, his father gave him a task.

He was asked to replace the army's equipment, and he planned to work hard to achieve some results so that he could extend his trial period.

Little did he know that the Ministry of Revenue didn't have that much silver at all; they were still short 252 million taels of silver, which really worried him.

This is the first thing my father gave me after I took office, I can't mess it up!

So he summoned the Crown Prince and, without further ado, made the Crown Prince and the third prince's family contribute 10,000 taels of silver, while he would cover the remaining 2.5 million taels.

Good heavens, no wonder it's a Supreme Vice Emperor trial card!

The second child's self-funded work with a membership card is really expensive.

The regent had just spent 250 million taels of silver.

Zhang Ze stood to the side shaking his head. Zhu Di really ruined his son!

There were many interesting things that happened on set. Everyone was laughing while filming, and these shots were taken very quickly.

The next day, they filmed a scene where Zhu Di's "experience card" as the second-in-command of the imperial court expired, and Zhu Di came to discard him like a used tool.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince stood outside the main hall, watching Zhu Di throw the Second Prince's swords out the door, and they secretly chuckled to themselves.

When Zhu Lao Er found out that his father and eldest son had conspired to swindle him out of his money again, he was furious.

Besides these male actors, the scenes with Wu Yue, who plays the mother, the Crown Princess, are also quite interesting.

In this drama, Wu Yue plays the Crown Princess, who is just like an ordinary woman from a humble family, full of everyday life.

Relatively speaking, the early Ming Dynasty was probably the most humane royal family in Chinese history!

His scenes with the female lead, Tang Wei, were actually less interesting.

The dialogue scenes were filmed quickly, and everyone went home to rest for a few days before regrouping.

This time we're going to film war scenes on location.

Zhu Di spent most of his life fighting on the battlefield, and even died on the road during a war.

Zhu Zhanji was also an emperor who rode on horseback, and he personally led many military campaigns after ascending the throne.

Therefore, this drama contains many scenes of marching and fighting.

"Teacher Zhang Ze, this is your armor. Try it on and see how it feels!"

The staff pushed a set of Ming Dynasty-style armor to show Zhang Ze.

"What beautiful armor! The craftsmanship looks just like the real thing!"

"Wow! It's so heavy!"

Zhang Ze couldn't even lift it with one hand, and he almost swayed his back!

"This set weighs about 60 pounds and is made entirely of the finest steel!" the staff member explained to him.

"Wouldn't it weigh over 80 pounds with the hat on?" Zhang Ze asked, somewhat fearfully.

"This is insane! How can I move around in this 80-plus-pound load?" he muttered to himself.

They took off their own clothes and put on the costumes, and with the help of the staff, they put on the armor.

It feels pretty good. Wearing it increases the pressure points on my body, and I don't feel like I can't move.

It was also thanks to his youth and strong physique.

Gently putting the hat on, I felt it for a moment and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"So cool! Wearing this armor, he really looks like a valiant general."

The staff praised it.

Zhang Ze looked at himself in the mirror and realized he was indeed quite handsome.

This armor is so beautiful that he wants to collect it!

She was thinking about how to trick the director into giving it to her after filming was over!

After changing into his armor, Zhang Ze walked out of the fitting room.

Seeing that the other men had also changed into their military uniforms.

Today we're filming Zhu Di's military review before his departure.

The production team really went all out today, managing to find so many extras.

At this time, more than two hundred soldiers in armor were already standing on the set, with banners fluttering in the wind. They stood there silently, exuding an aura of majesty.

Three generations of a family stood on the stage, with the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace behind them.

Zhu Di raised his arm to his chest and shouted, "The Ming army is mighty!"

The hundreds of soldiers below the stage waved their shields and longbows, shouting in unison, "General, you are mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

As the footage of the military parade finished being filmed,

With the help of the staff, Zhang Ze sat on the horse.

He clearly felt the horse beneath him tremble and let out a neigh!
