The 30-episode TV series "The End of Ming Dynasty 2" starring Hong Wong, Siyi Wang, Gang Wang and others will soon air on Zhejiang TV channel. Compared to the recent CCTV historical dramas such as "Zhen Guan's Long Song" and "Hui Merchants of Great Qing Dynasty", "The End of Ming Dynasty 2" does not focus mainly on kings, princes and generals. Instead, it tells some legendary stories at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty through the emotional experiences of Chen Yuanyuan, a beauty without rival.
Hong Wong, a famous Hong Kong actress who plays Chen Yuanyuan in this drama, has left deep and beautiful impressions on people in ancient costume films and TV series since she debuted. In recent years, after shifting her work focus to mainland China, she also gave excellent performances in many popular TV series, such as the Sino-Western blended Ge Ge in "Embroiderer Lanxin", the wife of the mountain fort leader in "Great Dunhuang", and the empress in "Qianlong and Xiangfei".
In this drama, the Chen Yuanyuan portrayed by Hong Wong not only shows the classical charm of a famous artist, but also delicately portrays the psychological aspects of the character in her emotional entanglements with Chongzhen Emperor, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and Dorgon. However, when talking about this drama, Hong Wong said that she did not initially approve of it. She thought there were still areas for improvement in the handling of many details. Moreover, the Kunqu Opera segments sung by herself were not very mature.
