Apart from the blockbuster *Empresses in the Palace*, the television department had quite a few other projects lined up for the year.
For instance, *Before the Dawn* was inspired by the massive success of *Lupin*. It was another outstanding spy thriller. Although it didn't quite match *Lupin* in cultural impact upon broadcast, it still became a phenomenal hit for a time.
There was also a top-tier war drama titled *Unquenchable Flame*. The original version of this series starred Huang Haibo, but now that the property was in the hands of Golden Harvest, there was naturally no way they would give it to him.
