Fun Facts

Filming began on December 15, 2017 in Xiamen, China.
At first, the director intended for Shen Teng to lose weight so Shen Teng got himself a gym membership, a personal trainer and started running 5 kilometers everyday. However, he sustained injuries and could no longer workout so the director decided that Shen Teng might as well gain the weight and maintain it around 163 jin.
Zhang Yiming also had to gain the weight for the role so he started eating like mad and added 40 jin to his own weight.
