The TV series "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" is adapted from the original novel of the same name by Shui Rutian'er, telling the legendary story of Beiping in the 1930s, the famous Peking Opera merchant Xiaorui played by Yin Zheng and the patriotic businessman Cheng Fengtai, played by Huang Xiaoming, who became acquainted with the Peking Opera "Hall of Eternal Life", and the two struggled side by side in the pear garden and the turmoil of war, and joined hands to fight against the cruel times. It is reported that the theme of promoting the culture of Peking Opera is the core of this play. Judging from the situation of the visit, the production and detail control of "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" do have their own meticulousness.
On the day of the visit, the weather in Hengdian was sweltering, and the airtight shed was even worse, there was no air conditioning, and I sweated when I walked around a little. The crew of "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" is filming the winter drama, and the shooting plot of the day of the visit is the heavy scene of Fan Xiang'er, the second grandmother played by She Shiman, who saw Cheng Fengtai in a trance and was worried. She Shiman wore a heavy cotton coat for more than an hour.

Shooting the snow scene on the spot, although the artistic conception is beautiful, the filming work is really not easy. In order to make the snowflakes evenly scattered and the best shooting effect, the staff on the scene constantly tried various angles, and a snow machine even malfunctioned due to too long use time.
Cheng Fengtai, played by Huang Xiaoming, is an extremely perfect image in the script, but Huang Xiaoming believes that this perfection will lead to the lack of authenticity of the characters, so when portraying Cheng Fengtai, he pays great attention to the control of details. For example, when the second grandmother washed his feet, he took away the foot wash water but did not wipe his feet, so he deliberately added a small detail of shaking his feet. "In fact, I really want to play a role directly into the role of this look, so I did not deliberately play it perfectly, including the cleanliness, funnyness and very provocative appearance in the play, which were all presented in front of the people I loved, and later I found that I had melted into that role and began to pity him." 」 Huang Xiaoming said. Talking about the emotional expression of the characters, Huang Xiaoming said that Cheng Fengtai is fundamentally similar to himself, "a bit introverted, not good at expressing his emotions, but very warm and willing to take care of others."
The play is the first cooperation between Huang Xiaoming and Yin Zheng, and Huang Xiaoming praises Yin Zheng's Peking Opera Danjiao as stunning, "called Shang Xiaorui Benrui, and it is that person who stops there." In the play, Yin Zheng, who provoked the beams and had many difficult Peking Opera and Kunqu opera performances, said that the filming of "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" benefited him a lot, "I am also very respectful and interested in traditional Peking Opera culture, and I will try to get as close as possible to the spirit of Peking Opera and the charm on the stage."

On the day of the visit, Yin Zheng also dressed up as Yang Guifei because of the needs of the plot, from painting oil paint, patches, combing big hair to tying a belt bag, wearing a female python, wearing a phoenix crown, the whole process is complex and complicated, and Yin Zheng's Peking Opera style in the play is as many as 15 sets. It is reported that the crew invited the famous Peking Opera performance artist, 90-year-old Qiandan BiGuyun teacher as an opera consultant, Teacher Bi personally passed on Qiandan disciples Yin Jun and Mou Yuandi as opera directors. Yin Zheng, Tan Jianci and others entered the group as early as a month before the start of filming to study Peking Opera in a fully enclosed manner.
She Shiman from Hong Kong, the challenge is very different from her own Northeast daughter-in-law, the bold personality also left a deep impression on everyone, before, She Shiman in the cooperation with Yu Zheng in the "Yanxi Raiders" to create a quite brilliant character, I hope that this "second grandmother" role can surprise the audience again.

In addition to director Hui Kaidong, the original production team of "Yanxi Raiders" has gathered again. Like "Yanxi Raiders", "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" is also quite careful in the production of the service road. The design of ShuiyunLou, an important scene in the play, references the architectural style of Beijing's hutongs, while Cheng Fu is the epitome of the old royal palace. The scene was prepared for 6 months, and the furniture and objects everywhere in the play are mostly antiques. "In fact, the pair of leather shoes with my pajamas were specially engraved with the abbreviation of Cheng Fengtai's English name, and the crew really paid attention to details," Huang Xiaoming said. Charmaine She also likes her clothes: "I probably have more than 20 sets of clothes, each set is very delicate, so I am very careful when wearing them, afraid of breaking them." ”
