Part 2 has been project-filed under the name "Cam Tu Phuong Hoa", with a length of 24 episodes. Meanwhile, part 1 will air with a length of 36 episodes.
The film had to be split into two parts because the China Radio and Television Directorate stipulated that each film could not exceed 40 episodes.
Additionally, there is a rule that each part of the film must be released 1 year apart. But since the 2 parts have different names, there is a possibility that the films can still be aired continuously.
Previously, the film crew of "Quoc sac phuong hoa" announced that they would close filming at the end of July.
The film is expected to be shown on Hunan TV and MangoTV platform, with two main actors Yang Zi, Li Xian, and some other actors such as Wei Zheming, Zhang Yaqin, Du Songyan, Guan Yue, Xu Lingyue, Shen Mengchen...
"Quoc sac phuong hoa" revolves around the story of Ha Duy Phuong (Yang Zi) - the daughter of a merchant, she chooses divorce to escape a marriage that is only for exchanging benefits.
Ha Duy Phuong went to Truong An alone, with the help of the notorious Emperor's close friend Tuong Truong Duong (Ly Hien), she developed her talent in planting and caring for rare peony flowers.
She created a famous flower brand, then changed her profession, establishing "Murong Tang" to produce oil, medicine and grain, to benefit the people. At the same time, she secretly helped Jiang Changyang fight against the plot of rebellion of King Ning.
On the path of serving the country, Ha Duy Phuong and Tuong Truong Duong gradually developed feelings for each other. Going through life and death together, the two joined hands to quell the rebellion and then retired together.
The reunion of Yang Zi and Li Xian after the 2019 romance film "Go Go Squid" made the audience extremely excited. However, the fact that "Quoc Sac Phuong Hoa" was divided into 2 parts also made many people worried.
Yang Zi's historical drama "Truong Tuong Tu" was supposed to be split into two parts, airing in 2023 and 2024. But part 2 was criticized for its content and did not achieve as good results as part 1.
If "Quoc sac phuong hoa" also has to air 2 parts 1 year apart, it might be at a disadvantage and not be able to maintain the same popularity as before.
