After finishing their scenes, Yu Chenghui, Sun Jiankui, and others immediately joined the "Shaolin Temple" crew, following Zhang Xinyan to Zhejiang.
The Shaolin Temple was in severe disrepair, dilapidated and run-down, with only a few elderly monks barely making ends meet by growing vegetables.
When Zhang Xinyan went to scout the location, an old monk had just taken off his robe and was preparing to write an application to join the Communist Party.
This was clearly not a suitable place to film.
Zhang Xinyan, being from Zhejiang, decided to shoot in his hometown instead.
He chose the Guoqing Temple in Tiantai County as a stand-in for the Shaolin Temple.
The abbot of Guoqing Temple personally taught the actors the proper etiquette for worship and even lent over a hundred monks to the crew.
Other locations, such as the Yuewang Temple and Lingyin Temple, were also used as filming sites.
Thanks to Chen Qi's interference, the progress of "Shaolin Temple" wasn't delayed at all.
In fact, it was even faster.
Zhang Xinyan still hadn't chosen a female lead.
