Fan Xiaopang raised an eyebrow and said, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

Manshen rolled her eyes at the two of them: "There are children here!!!"

Liu Qianqian smiled slightly: "Sister Manyu, I understand everything."

An awkward silence immediately filled the air...

Shen Fangzei Ji'er was embarrassed.........

"Ahem, Fatty, what made you decide to take on this role?"

Little Fatty smiled and said, "I think I'm perfect for this kind of role. Beautiful, domineering, and captivating. The media calls me a fairy, so I'll show them what a fairy I am. I'll charm them to death."

Chen Fang.........

Well, Little Fatty really is that kind of person—he means what he says. Since Little Fatty wants to play this kind of role, Shen Fang naturally agrees.

However, the most popular domestic version of Wu Zetian so far is still the one starring Liu Xiaoqing. The legendary Empress Wu Zetian has always been a popular subject for dramas and films, and dramas featuring strong female leads easily launch an actress's career. Actresses such as Feng Baobao, Pan Yingzi, Liu Xiaoqing, Yin Tao, Carina Lau, and Kara Hui have all portrayed Wu Zetian on screen.

Of course, the most widely known version is the classic one starring Liu Xiaoqing. This version portrays the characters with great care and skill, featuring a cast of highly accomplished actors. The series boasts antique-style sets and costumes, and Mao Geping's makeup perfectly embodies the essence of elegance and beauty.

Wu Zetian's status, starting from becoming Empress, can be summarized as: Empress - Empress Dowager - Empress Dowager (after Emperor Gaozong's death) - Holy Mother Divine Empress - Emperor

Each title represented a significant advancement in her political status; the Empress Dowager, compared to the Empress, marked the true arrival of a dual-rule era in history.

The title "Holy Mother Divine Empress" represented a significant ideological advancement for Wu Zetian's political status compared to "Empress Dowager." It was her final push towards becoming Empress. Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Xiaoqin, and Empress Xiaoqin Cixi Duanyou Kangyi Zhaoyu Zhuangcheng Shou Gongqin Xian Chongxi Peitian Xingsheng Xian were all either Empresses or Empress Dowagers. However, the Holy Mother Divine Empress was the Emperor, transcending the traditional "mother's status rises with her son's" structure. She was no longer an Empress; it was simply that the Emperor was still alive, and she couldn't depose him due to social constraints.

The title "Holy Mother Divine Empress" should be interpreted as something entirely different from "Empress Dowager," and it was by no means a casual honorific. Furthermore, this title directly led to a rebellion within the imperial clan.

However, nowadays, many films and television dramas about Wu Zetian don't even mention her title of Holy Mother Divine Empress anymore (they go directly to Empress - Empress Dowager - Emperor).

However, the 1995 version of Wu Zetian not only meticulously portrayed this period of history (24 episodes, including the presentation of the imperial edict, the sealing of the Luo River, and the change of the era name to Yongchang, all of which are completely consistent with history), but also, before the scene where Wu Zetian proclaimed herself as the Holy Mother Divine Empress, everyone called Wu Zetian the Empress Dowager. After this scene, everyone (including her nephew when chatting with her) called Wu Zetian Your Majesty, or Divine Empress Your Majesty~~~~ very meticulous.

In Tsui Hark's *The Legend of Wu Zetian*, Wu Zetian is called "Empress Dowager," a title used during the reign of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Wu Zetian. At that time, the soon-to-be-crowned Empress Dowager should have been addressed as "Divine Empress," or at the very least, Empress Dowager. The old emperor was already dead.

Shen Fang has always held this attitude towards film and television works involving history: you don't have to be a textbook, you don't have to be realistic, you can even make fictionalized accounts, but you shouldn't have common sense errors. If you say that Emperor Qianlong had a princess named Huanzhu, that's fictionalized, not made up. But if you write "Qianqing Palace" as "Former Qing Palace", that's a common sense error.

If you insist on portraying a love story between Emperor Kangxi and Su Mala Gu, that's called fictionalization. But Siqin Gaowa's "I, Empress Xiaozhuang" is a factual error.

To make a good film, the script is key, but such a script needs to be refined by history experts; otherwise, it is easy to make many common-sense errors.

"Tomorrow I'll go talk to Sister Na to make arrangements, and then find some history experts. Since we're going to film this, let's film it properly. I'll also make arrangements for Hengdian. During this time, you should read Wu Zetian's biography carefully, learn from the historians, and be a good student. Wu Zetian's biography is a very important part of the Tang Dynasty IP. Little Fatty, put in a lot of effort. I will invest in it to the highest standard, and I will definitely make you a star."

Little Fatty felt a sweet warmth in his heart as he leaned against Shen Fang's chest.

“Darling, you’re so sweet. I bought you the latest Victoria’s Secret black stockings, your favorite. I’ll wear them for you tonight.”

Black stockings... Victoria's Secret... *slurp*...
