Wang Zhaojun 1964 Mandarin

During the Han Palace draft, Wang Zhaojun (played by Lin Dai) relied on his talent and appearance and refused to bribe the shameless palace painter Mao Yanshou (played by Hong Bo). Mao held a grudge and deliberately vilified Zhaojun, so that Zhaojun never suffered the fate of Emperor Yuan (played by Zhao Lei) in the following three years. Zhaojun was full of resentment and had no one to complain about. He sat facing the moon all day long, feeling sad and sad. One night, Emperor Yuan was strolling in the courtyard and heard Zhaojun singing. When he saw him, he was astonished. After careful investigation, we found out that Mao Yanshou relied on his identity as a painter to exercise power wantonly and confuse right and wrong. After this incident, Zhaojun rose to prominence and was favored by Emperor Yuan. Mao was flustered and looked north and fled. He carried Zhaojun's portrait in his arms and presented it to the Xiongnu Khan, falsely claiming that he had been ordered by Emperor Yuan to come and make peace with him. Khan believed it and offered him a gift, but Emperor Yuan refused. The Xiongnu couldn't bear the humiliation, so they raised troops into the Central Plains, thus unfolding the eternal legend of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress... This film is adapted from the classical opera "Zhaojun Leaving the Fortress".
