"Director Meng really is something," Xiaodong couldn't help but complain upon learning that the entire crew would soon be moving to a forested mountain to shoot the film, "Why go to a mountain? Wouldn't it be better to just create the scenes in post-production? No wonder the budget keeps soaring with all this fuss."
But Director Meng was just that particular; he insisted on using real locations over post-production whenever possible. He was picky – if the place didn't align perfectly with the script's description, he wouldn't use it. He had to have some deep, secluded woods.
"The screenwriter said the same thing," Shen Zhiyi smiled, "and then got scolded by Director Meng."
