Qi Hao exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then put away his smile and began posing for photos under the director of photography's guidance.
Qi Hao not only had to photograph the Yu Huatian look but also the Feng Li Saber look.
He played both roles, essentially acting as two different characters. Feng Li Saber's look was simple, and the character was rather flat, but Yu Huatian was an extremely complex character.
The existence of Feng Li Saber served the plot and also contrasted with Yu Huatian, the Western Depot Overseer, who was imposing and charismatic.
Even while shooting the costume photos, he had already started to mull over the role.
Qi Hao had previously read the script and character briefs, and had gained a deep understanding of the character Yu Huatian.
The villain he portrayed was arrogant and self-centered, akin to a deity looking down on the masses.
