Qingyan Film and Television City.
In a spacious courtyard.
Dozens of people are dressed in robes of various colors.
They stand and sit in an orderly fashion. Today's filming required many people, and the weather was kind, with clouds shielding the sun and a gentle breeze making everyone present feel very comfortable. The worst thing for acting is the heat.
A downpour could mean shooting indoor scenes.
But when it gets hot.
Tsk tsk... You can't escape it.
Especially in costume dramas.
The layered clothes are one thing.
But the long hair wigs worn by male actors are frustratingly hot. This show is a 'custom-made drama' by Comet Film and Television, aiming for the international market, hence from the leads to the bit players, all are quite renowned.
After a dialogue sequence.
"Cut, that's a wrap."
This phrase from the director was their favorite to hear.
