Cast and characters
Meiren Xinji (Chinese: 美人心計; literally Schemes of a
Beauty) is a 2010 Chinese grand-production historical fiction television
drama, adapted by Yu Zheng from Xiao Qiying's short story
Turbulence in the Empress's Chamber (未央沉浮). Produced by
Lin Guohua and directed by Wu Jinyuan, Liang Xinquan, and Chen
Guohua, the serial is a joint production between Heyday Television
Culture Company, Zijun Brilliance, and Yu Zheng Workshop, also
funded by Lafeng Entertainment.
Set in Chang'an, China during the
beginnings of the Han
Dynasty, Meiren Xinji tells a dramatized
account of Empress
Dou (Ruby
Lin) and how her efforts and achievements in the
royal court positively influenced the reign of her husband Emperor
Wen (Sammul
Chan), which paved the way for the creation of
the Rule of
Wen and Jing.
Due to its large and diverse cast as well as expensive set and
costume production, the serial attracted international attention
during its production stages.[1]
Having filmed primarily in filming locations of Wuxi, Wuhan, and Hengdian World Studios,
Meiren Xinji was produced with a budget of ¥50 million (US$7.3 million).[2]
