"Dragon Soaring" is a film about imperial power struggles, with the palace scenes shot on a film set.
The movie mainly narrates the story of the Emperor of Great Chu, Dragon Soaring, as he faces increasingly rampant power struggles in his old age, reflecting on his life journey from humble beginnings to attaining the highest position.
When Mu Yan and the others arrived, a scene depicting a court struggle was being filmed.
Officials petitioned the Emperor to appoint a Crown Prince, and factions of the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince began to argue directly in the court.
The atmosphere on set was somewhat heavy. After seeing Song Cheng'an's business card, the staff took them to the resting area.
The aging Emperor, the well-armed princes, the power struggle had almost reached a boiling point.
Mu Yan sat in the resting area, watching the old Emperor on the dragon throne.
Though he was old, his authority remained.
