After Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan joined the crew, they moved directly into the hotel arranged by the production team and began living a life of eating and sleeping alongside the actors.
Normally, actors of their level wouldn't be eligible for the benefit of having a hotel booked for them by the crew...
However, because they were personal actors invited by Director Lu Xun and performed without pay.
So, Director Lu Xun paid out of his own pocket to book rooms for the two of them.
It's said that during breaks in filming, Director Lu Xun personally coached them in acting, teaching them how to express emotions in front of the camera and how to ignore the camera for natural performance...
In short, after Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng joined the crew, they entered a closed-off state, unable to come out for an entire week.
During this time of their training, the girls Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao also didn't go out much.
