Listen to the behind-the-scenes tidbits of politics

In the film, after Li Fei was beheaded by Cixi, more than half of Li Fei's plays were shot in a "jar". To this end, Zhou Jie used her special skills as a dancer, curled up, folded her hands, stood on tiptoe and put the silk in the jar. During the filming, Zhou Jie, Liu Xiaoqing and Kerwin Chen lived in the dormitory of the crew. Although Cixi and Li Fei are sworn enemies in the film, Liu Xiaoqing and Zhou Jie are good friends outside the play. When they found there were only two beds in the room, Liu Xiaoqing offered the bed to Zhou Jie, and she slept on the floor. Liu Xiaoqing didn't understand Cantonese when he filmed Listening to Politics through the Curtain, and neither did Tony Leung Ka Fai understand Mandarin. They played with fans, and Tony Leung Ka Fai, who played the emperor, kept pulling the fans. As soon as the fan stopped, Liu Xiaoqing immediately switched on the conversation. When filming "Listening to Politics Behind the Scenes", the food for Chinese mainland actors was two steamed buns and a piece of black pickles, but when the actors in China and Hong Kong ate, everyone had a dining car, which was full of chicken, duck and fish. Because of the different food treatment between mainland and Hong Kong actors, Liu Xiaoqing not only stopped performing, but also cried on the set. Liu Xiaoqing said that when she was filming "Listening to Politics Behind the Scenes", she had to bite the bullet and beg for food from the Hong Kong staff because she didn't have enough money to eat.
