But due to a twist of fate, the palace maid never became the new emperor's empress. The entire story is gripping and full of ups and downs.
The budget investment for this historical drama will reach fifty million, and considering it's only 2009, it's much cheaper compared to similar dramas costing hundreds of millions in a few years.
Originally, Zhao Liying only wanted to shoot a film or series with an investment of under 20 million, but unexpectedly, Yi Anguo placed a historical drama with an investment of over 50 million in front of her.
Before his rebirth, Yi Anguo also wrote online novels in his spare time. Although not a top author, he earned over ten thousand yuan a month, which, combined with his salary, was a major reason he was able to buy a house.
Since "Hua Qiangu" can't be filmed yet, Yi Anguo had Zhao Liying start with "The Empress Does Not Believe in Tears," as this drama doesn't involve copyright issues.
