Yu Rongguang, actor/director of "Legends of Song and Dance", said, "Our script is in three languages, Chinese, the Myanmar language and English. We arranged our shooting around it and made adjustments on the set."
The series was shot in the ancient city of Pugam, home to the imperial palace and a once mighty empire. The city is rich in cultural heritage, especially its Buddhist relics and temples. Experts say the cast and crew have done a good job vividly reviving history.
U Win Kyaine, president of Myanmar Culture University, said, "I think the music and the dancing in the TV series are really authentic. The details, such as the arrangement of the music and the number of dancers, are very close to the historic record of that period. "
This is the first joint TV series production between China and Myanmar. And the participants hope it will pave the way for further cultural exchanges in the future.
