"We did not shoot in Hengdian, but in the Forbidden City." In order to create the first variety show to enter the palace to shoot in history, multiple departments of the Forbidden City mobilized, and this variety show team with most members born in the 1990s was almost becoming a "school team". But the program team never expected that District Museum District Director District Museum District Museum As the chief guest, Shan JixiangHistrict Hospital As the chief guest, she had a bigger mind than them, and introduced his "Royal Cat Colleague": "There are nearly 200 cats of all sizes in the Forbidden City. Because of these excellent colleagues, there is no mouse in the Forbidden City."

, the acting orange cat, later became a well-deserved showrunner. On the evening of November 9, the first episode of the cultural season broadcast program "New Palace Museum" was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV and iQiyi. According to Huan.com data, the real-time ratings entry point of the program reached 1.2% in 35 cities, ranking first in the country.

Zhu Yong, director of the Film and Television Research Institute of the Forbidden City Research Institute, serves as the chief screenwriter of "News and Forbidden City". "There are 'news' in these 5 words. 'news' must be based on 'theft', but 'theft' cannot stick to the rules." Zhu Yong said that this is the first time the Palace Museum has produced a program in history, and the shooting locations are all over the Forbidden City , and even the unopened areas are no longer forbidden areas.

From Qianlong’s secret garden Juanqinzhai to "Little Swallow"'s residence Shufangzhai , they all met the world for the first time. Changyin Pavilion, which will appear in the second episode, is a performance venue in the palace that is comparable to a large-scale concert palace opera, and is equipped with the "wia" at that time - a giant winch that allows actors to "go to heaven and earth".

In each episode, two Forbidden City Cultural Innovation Products developers - Deng Lun and Zhou Yiwei formed the "Forbidden City Brothers" and followed the Forbidden City staff to visit the mysterious corner of the Forbidden City. They also partnered with celebrities such as Ada Choi, Wang Likun, , Ning Jing, and Guan Xiaotong to interpret history through time and space. Students from the Eight Art Academy design a cultural innovative product based on the cultural elements of each issue, and the audience votes for whether to enter production to truly "new". After the first episode of

was broadcast, the audience was amazed by the style of Jiangnan in Juanqinzhai, and also met a different Qianlong. The innovative "Mei Shi" inspires from the wisteria birds, golden nanmu bamboos, and double-sided embroidered cloud patterns in Juanqinzhai also made netizens line up to ask for links.

"interesting, fresh, lively and fashionable", Zhu Yong described the youthful appearance of a cultural program he imagined. Zhu Yong has published a collection of essays about the unopened areas of the Forbidden City and related history, "The Secret Corner of the Forbidden City", but he feels that the open area of ​​the Forbidden City has reached 80%. In fact, there is not much space reserved for the audience. "The real secret is the history and the connotation behind the history that we ignore."

"New! Forbidden City" director Mao Jia revealed that filming programs in the Forbidden City sounds cool, but the staff must be careful everywhere. The tripods of the photography equipment are all wrapped in sponges, and they dare not cause any scratches on the bricks of the Forbidden City; heavy objects almost never fall to the ground, and they are carried on their shoulders to enter the palace; the lights must strictly control quantity and temperature to ensure the safety of cultural relics...

In Juanqinzhai, except for being able to step on the ground, no part of the body or machine is allowed to touch any part of the building. There is a scene where Qianlong, played by Zhou Yiwei, is sitting on a dragon throne to watch the show. Zhu Yong specifically explained that this dragon chaise is just a prop made as it is, and the activities of people were photographed in the shed, and then combined with the real surrounding environment later, "A real dragon chaise must not be seated."

Mao Jia introduced that the costumes and etiquette of the show characters are all restored according to historical facts, and the shots of a few seconds are the result of the multi-party verification by the program team. For example, in order to show respect, eunuchs would never shake their sleeves in front of the emperor, and would only roll up their sleeves if they worked privately; in the early Qing Dynasty, concubines had the habit of raising nails, but it was only after Daoguang that they were popular for wearing nails; in the Qianlong period, thick-soled shoes were popular, while shoes with ingot bottoms and flower pot bottoms common in Qing palace operas were not popular until the late Qing Dynasty.

So, don't be surprised when the audience sees Emperor Qianlong played by Zhou Yiwei in the show wearing a hat similar to a eunuch.At that time, the hats of the emperor and the eunuch were very similar, but the hats of Qianlong were unique "red velvet knots", that is, a red velvet knot.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan", " Story of Yanxi Palace ", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"... Qing Palace Drama is so popular. Some people think it is not difficult to shoot a variety show about the Forbidden City, but Mao Jia said, "You are thinking too much."

"If you want to tell a story, there are not many records about the stories of the emperor, princess, and palace maids and eunuchs. For example, Qianlong's second queen had broken her hair, and the TV series could be filmed many episodes, but only a few words in historical materials; if cultural relics are displayed like "If National Treasures Can Talk", a 70-minute variety show will be hidden; if it becomes a celebrity visiting program, a brief tour of the Forbidden City cannot meet the expectations of the audience with increasingly high taste..." Under various restrictions, the program ultimately chose a story that truly leaves written records and cultural relics confirmation in the history of the Forbidden City, and it is in line with the aesthetics of young people today.

From the popular documentary " I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City 3" to the Forbidden City cultural and creative products that sell hundreds of millions of yuan, every hot topic in the Forbidden City is not directly due to buildings and cultural relics, but young people feel the vivid and lively temperature, emotions and personality from the Forbidden City and its related elements.

In the era of information overload, it may be that the life of the palace may no longer be aroused by the young people, but if you tell them that the emperor's life was harder than me, the survival pressure of the princes was even greater than that of white-collar workers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Looking at the operation mode of the imperial kitchen, I would just eat skewers... Isn't it a bit of an urge to open and watch?

"New: Forbidden City" seems to have done this. The distant big man revealed his "mortal" side and seemed to have become a friend who understands me. Kangxi, who fought memorials with chattering ministers for a long time, Yongzheng, who could die of conversation, Qianlong, who never forgets Empress Fucha... What we see is not the emperor who exists like historical specimens, but living people.

It turns out that the emperor, like every "me", will "I miss you very much."
