"Harem" has been on fire for so many years, but Zheng Xiaolong broke the news and "regretted" inviting Ada Choi. Why?

The shortlist of Houpu was announced. Chen Jianbin, Seven and Rayza, who had participated in The Queen of the Palace, reunited in Houpu, and Empresses in the Palace also boarded the hot search.

The Queen of the Palace is indeed an excellent TV series, which has been popular for ten years and can be said to be unparalleled. The success of The Queen of the Palace comes from the efforts of the original work, screenwriter, director, field staff and every actor.

Ada Choi, as one of the leading actors, also made a hit in the mainland with this drama. However, director Zheng Xiaolong revealed that he "regretted" inviting Ada Choi, not because of her poor performance, but because she was difficult to communicate and she was too dedicated.

(1) Communication difficulties: Ada Choi is from Hong Kong. At that time, he could not speak Mandarin, which made communication difficult. Ada Choi's husband, Max Zhang, teased his wife that "if you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid that Ada Choi will speak Mandarin". We can also feel how difficult the naughty and funny Mandarin of the "Queen" is in variety shows.

I remember Chen Jianbin, the teacher who played Yongzheng, said that when two people were filming the famous scene "Men and women can't do it", there were only two people in this scene because of the particularity of the scene. Ada Choi said his lines word for word there. At first, she tried to use broken Mandarin for fear that Chen Jianbin wouldn't understand. Chen Jianbin didn't understand and wanted to laugh. Let her speak cantonese. Then, by pausing the script lines and Ada Choi's tone, we can have a "cross-dressing chat".

Therefore, when Zheng Xiaolong and Ada Choi play chess, it is often the chicken and duck that tell each other. I can't understand what you said, and you can't understand what I said, which leads to communication problems and directly leads to inaccurate performance. Of course, this kind of problem is not allowed in Zheng Xiaolong and Ada Choi, so they spend a lot of time in-depth communication and strive for perfection. Ada Choi's influence is obvious to all.

(2) too dedicated. At that time, Ada Choi happened to be pregnant while filming Harem. You should wear shoes at the bottom of flowerpots for the costumes of the Qing Palace Opera. We've all seen it in TV series. This kind of shoe has a high heel in the middle of the sole, which is very inconvenient to walk.

For the safety of Ada Choi, Zheng Xiaolong once suggested that Ada Choi wear ordinary embroidered shoes, as long as the lens is not bright, it doesn't matter. However, Ada Choi insisted on wearing flowerpot shoes. He said, "How can I do that?" Ada Choi repeatedly stressed that he was safe and didn't wear the bottom of the flowerpot to show the audience what it was like. In order not to delay the filming progress, Ada Choi also tried not to let the pregnancy incident interfere with the filming of the crew.

From some scenes, we can see that Ada Choi's pregnant belly has been slightly exposed in the later period. I remember at the end of the play, the crazy queen jumped on Zhen Xuan and was pushed to the ground by Xiao Yunzi. While filming, Xiaoyunzi's actor quietly gave her a hand when she was walking in Ada Choi to prevent her from falling directly to the ground, which shows that everyone is protecting pregnant Ada Choi. Director Zheng Xiaolong also keeps an eye on Ada Choi in case she has an accident.

(3) Ada Choi's performance is obvious to all. Zheng Xiaolong's "I'm very sorry" is actually a kind of recognition and praise for Ada Choi. Almost every character in The Empress in the Palace is a bright spot, and the queen is an important bright spot.

The Queen presented by Ada Choi can be said to be an unparalleled classic. Although there are obstacles in communication, being able to present such a mature role under such circumstances shows how deeply Ada Choi understands the script and the role.

Ada Choi's performance in details is also exquisite and natural, because the queen is a snake-shaped character, which requires the actors to be very careful when performing and show their fangs inadvertently under charity.

Ada Choi's performance couldn't be better. She played a sinister queen to life. The most brilliant scene in the play is "the courtiers can't do it". In this play, Ada Choi perfectly interprets a queen who "releases nature" and loudly complains that fate and the world are unfair to her.

Ada Choi's every cry, every tear, and every breast-thumping show that she is in the play, and she is integrating with the role.

Every participant is indispensable to the success of the harem. Even as a Meidochan, we can feel the dedication and sincerity of the actors, which is one of its greatest successes.

Most of the actors who participated in The Queen of the Palace are remembered by the audience. Rachel Momo, Yinger, Xiaoqi, Rayza and so on, these young actors became popular with their few scenes in the play. Dedication, Dedication and Love are not only for Ada Choi, but also for every actor in Zhen Huan's biography.
