If An Feng has read quite a few books about Li Qingzhao.
Then Qi Hao has practically memorized them all.

The movie started shooting during New Year's time.
There was no official kickoff, no shooting schedule.
They just invited a fake Daoist for fun, and then everyone gathered to shoot.
In addition to the standard crew setup, there were many assistant directors.
Last year, so many scripts were worked on, and most of these scripts are being shot this year. Before filming, everyone gathered around Qi Hao to showcase their talent.
