Production
editThe film would have been Wei's second feature as a director, after So Young in 2013.[3]
Politics
editIn 2016 the film production removed the scenes of Leon Dai, a Taiwanese actor, after outcry among the Communist Youth League, even though his filming was already completed.[4][5] A campaign by Chinese netizens had accused Dai of supporting Taiwanese independence.[1] The major criticism of Dai was that he had taken an "ambiguous stance over the country and national identity by supporting the Sunflower Movement.[6] The film's funders stated they were unhappy with his response to the inquiries.[1]
Another member of the cast was replaced after a similar campaign, namely Kiko Mizuhara for having visited the Yasukuni Shrine, a place associated with various controversies concerning Japanese war crimes in China.[7]
