What's the difference between the Korean drama Ming Chengzu and China's Gong Dou movies?

Regarding whether Empress Mingcheng is faithful to history, Qin Mingxin, deputy director of the International Department of CCTV Literature and Art Center, said that when it was launched, they had consulted relevant experts on some historical issues. The main characters in the play, such as Emperor Gaozong, Empress Mingcheng and Dayuanjun, do exist in Korean history, and the main events are consistent with history. Comparing with the Encyclopedia of China, it is also found that some events in the play are recorded in historical books, and it is also in line with historical facts that Empress Mingcheng asked the Qing Dynasty to send troops to drive away the court monarch.

Qin Mingxin said that as far as he knows, Koreans still regard Empress Mingcheng as a TV series rather than a history textbook. "Although South Korea has the ancestral hall of Empress Mingcheng, Koreans don't know her as well as Dayuanjun." Why? The first episode of the TV series introduces that the Japanese hate Empress Mingcheng very much. 1895 After planning the "B Wei Incident" to kill Empress Mingcheng, all her photos were destroyed, and no photos of Empress Mingcheng could be found in Korea. "Due to the limited information, it is inevitable that the TV series will be dealt with in detail."

The investment of Korean costume drama is much higher than that of China. Chen Weiming, president of Zhong Bo Film and Television Company, went to the shooting scene of the TV series "Empress Ming Cheng": "When shooting indoors, seven or eight cameras came in five or six pictures from different angles, and the director sat in front of the screen and gave the editor instructions on which picture to choose, which was very demanding for the director. The used scene will be demolished soon, so the prop artist must be very careful, so as to ensure that there will be no laziness in the later shooting. The most influential 100 filmmakers in Korea selected in 2003 all have props. It can be seen that their understanding of film and television is not only in directors, actors, producers and screenwriters, but in all directions. "

The preparation period of Empress Ming Cheng is as long as 1 year, and it took 1 year and a half to finish filming. The crew specially came to the real ancient Korean palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, to film the scene of the little queen entering the palace, which is in sharp contrast with the costume drama in China now. According to Chen Weiming's estimation, the cost of each episode of "Empress Ming Cheng" should be about 2 million RMB, while the cost of shooting relatively good similar TV series in China is generally only about 600,000 RMB.
