By the way, Yu Hua's hometown is in Haiyan, Jiaxing, Zhejiang. He was born in Hangzhou but moved to Haiyan soon after.
So Haiyan is where he grew up.
It's also the spiritual home of his novel writing.
Due to the needs of filming, the crew is located in a very impoverished rural area.
Friends who have watched the TV series "Mountain and Sea Love" should have a rudimentary understanding of the poorest parts of this region.
Anyway, it's much more challenging than those new rural areas along the coast.
The main issue is the geographical constraints, not the farmers' lack of effort.
Sun Dasheng stayed here for a few days and found it extremely tough, so he provided many more living vehicles for the crew.
For example, a nanny van for the actors to rest, a dining car for the actors to eat, and a water truck for the actors to wash up.
All aspects were considered, very attentive.
This made Director Zhang Li express his gratitude.
