Traditional Chinese 耀舞長安

Literal meaning "dazzling dances of Chang'an"

House of Harmony and Vengeance is a Hong Kong costume-comedy television drama produced by TVB under executive producer Nelson Cheung. The drama centers on a group of musicians and dancers from the Imperial Music Bureau during the prosperous Tang Dynasty of China.

Production

During the production of House of Harmony and Vengeance, the drama was given the working title "樂府藏龍" (jyutping: ngok6 fu2 cong4 lung4; pinyin: yuèfǔ cánglóng; literally "Music Bureau's Hidden Dragon"), a word play on the Chinese proverb "臥虎藏龍" (jyutping: ngo6 fu2 cong4 lung4; pinyin: wòhǔ cánglóng), which refers to the undiscovered talents that lie beneath the surface of a normal-looking individual.

A costume fitting press conference was held at TVB City's Studio 1 in Tseung Kwan O on 6 May 2011.[1] Filming began 16 May 2011 at TVB Studios. The blessing ceremony was held at the studios on 14 June 2011.

Casting

Producer Nelson Cheung cast Bobby Au-yeung, Moses Chan, and Myolie Wu in the lead roles in November 2010. Cheung planned to cast Sheren Tang in another lead role, but Tang was already booked to film for Mainland Chinese period drama Qing Cheng Xue during the same time as House's filming schedule.[2] Cheung then cast Linda Chung to replace Tang. Linda Chung is cast in her 1st semi-villain role. To focus on his coffee shop business, Chan withdrew from the production in early April 2011,[3] a month before filming commenced. TVB's Production Department supervisor Tommy Leung then offered Bowie Lam the role,[4] but Lam rejected the offer, stating that he has already accepted to film a Mainland Chinese production.[4] Suggested by Au-yeung, the role was then offered to Mak Cheung-ching, who accepted it two weeks before filming.[5] Before the casting of Mak, Cheung has once considered Pierre Ngo for the role, and even sought for the script to be rewritten to accommodate Ngo.[3][6][7]
