Wen Xian's current filming location is in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, where there is a famous film city.
Compared to Beijing's heavy snow and temperatures below minus ten degrees, the winters in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area are much warmer, although this warmth is limited to the outdoors.
Drizzling rain, temperatures just over ten degrees outdoors, and indoor spaces colder than outside are features of Hangzhou's winter, due to the lack of northern heating.
Wen Xian's character in this shoot is the heroine of a Republic era film; being the heroine doesn't mean the character is entirely positive or negative.
The overall tone of the plot can be described as quite tragically beautiful.
In an era of war and turmoil, people's livelihood suffered greatly, and romantic love weighed less than the higher call of national and ethnic duty.
Though Wen Xian's role is a Chinese girl, at the age of ten, her parents were killed in a civil war, and she hated those people, vowing revenge.
