Production
The filming started in Beihai, Guangxi from February 27, 2021, until May 2021. On August 13 of the same year, the film's official Weibo posted an announcement, announcing the termination of all cooperation with Zhang Zhehan due to the actor being involved in a controversy over photos taken years earlier in Japan at a spot near the Yasukuni Shrine and Nogi Shrine due to the shrines' honoring of imperial Japanese military officers who invaded China. Due to this incident, it took three years for the film to replace, reshoot, and cut out scenes involving the actor.
