Behind the Scenes
1. This film is the first official collaboration between Zhang Zhiliang and Tsui Hark. Zhang Zhiliang serves as the director of Group B. In fact, Tsui Hark initially hoped to shoot the martial arts parts himself, while leaving the literary parts to Zhang Zhiliang. Unfortunately, this wish did not come true due to the schedule issues of several leading actors.
