Production
[edit]The film would have been Wei's second feature as a director, after So Young in 2013.[3]
Controversies
[edit]In 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 of Internet comments had accused Dai of supporting Taiwanese independence and the 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.[6]
