What film and television works were shot in the Forbidden City?

The film and television works filmed in the Forbidden City include Burning the Yuanmingyuan, Listening to the Politics from the Curtain, The Demon Queen and so on. Nick Cheung, who played Emperor Xianfeng in Burning Yuanmingyuan, recalled that I almost visited every corner of the Forbidden City at sunrise and in the evening. I once filmed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and I walked onto the rostrum in the dragon robe in the play, feeling very happy.

The Last Emperor is the only western film allowed to be filmed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, but no equipment can touch the ground. In the interview, he said that the relevant departments don't want us to shoot there, because the buildings there are all made of wood and they are afraid of catching fire. Finally, we are allowed to use the camera stabilizer camera, which can only be operated by one photographer.

Introduction to the film and television filmed by the Forbidden City:

The scene of the reign of Emperor Tongzhi, who burned the Yuanmingyuan, was shot in the Third Hall of the Forbidden City and Gan Qing Palace, and the Qing Dynasty cultural relics collected by the Palace Museum were used as props. At that time, Mr. Zhu, an expert from the Palace Museum, provided the crew with all the information about the enthronement ceremony of the Qing emperor and the plans for all the staff positions, but the director made some changes to enhance the film effect.

This film tells the story that after the Yuanmingyuan was burned, the emperor went into hiding everywhere, and Yi Guifei went step by step to eventually become Cixi and took power. The film was shot in the Forbidden City, both on exterior and interior. I shot a lot in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, hall of mental cultivation and other places, and kept the original interior decoration to the maximum extent.
