Talking about the role, Zhou also said that this is the first time he has challenged a woman to dress up as a man, and the first time she has dealt with such a large number of martial arts scenes. In order to perfectly interpret the heroic appearance of a general, in addition to undergoing high-intensity training before joining the set, she also borrowed two swords and a gun from the crew and practiced diligently during her free time. She also repeatedly studied the original novel and "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" to strengthen her acting skills. She worked hard on everything from body parts to eyes to make herself closer to what the character should look like.

When asked who is the most handsome in military uniform in the drama, Zhou Ye replied with a confident smile: "I am the most handsome!" She also revealed that the makeup and hair time of "Female General" is even faster than that of Cheng Lei: "Because I use real hair, I don't need to apply eyelashes. Mao, just draw his eyebrows and paint his face black." The blood and mud on the face cleverly create the beauty of post-war fear and stubbornness. This contrast of "beautiful and handsome" is bound to leave a deep impression on the audience.

Faced with the heavy martial arts scenes in "Jinyue Ruge", Cheng Lei admitted that shooting in a smokey environment for a long time was a great test on physical strength and skills. "I will eat relatively little during that time. After the filming is over, I will go back to rest and sleep well." Interestingly, Cheng Lei has had bathing scenes in his five consecutive dramas since "The Feather of the Clouds", and he was nicknamed the "Bath Emperor" because of this. He said with a smile, "Maybe I took the role after seeing the bathing scene." In order to show his best in front of the camera. In his current state, Cheng Lei is very strict about his diet in private. He mainly eats low-oil, low-carb fat-reducing meals. He has successfully created a lean line that "looks slim when dressed and fleshy when undressed." Such a high degree of self-discipline makes him look even more domineering when wearing ancient costumes and armor.

Talking about interpreting the character's cold personality, Cheng Lei admitted that this is actually a big challenge: "It is quite difficult to express emotions in a cold persona. Many things cannot be too extroverted. It is a restriction, but it will also become a characteristic. Until now, I am still thinking about how to be more restrained. A way to express deeper emotions."
