Having been away from home for a long time, Ni Bingyan only discovered that her rice container was empty the next morning while making porridge.
She was about to join the cast of *Inheritor*. The school scenes would be filmed at a private high school in a suburb of Beijing, the indoor scenes at a commercial building in Beijing, and only the scenes at the heroine's grandfather's luxurious manor required a trip to Cambodia in Southeast Asia.
Wealthy people in China didn't tend to be ostentatious, and very few built lavish manors with great fanfare.
In the movie, the heroine's grandfather was supposed to be a tycoon. If they just filmed in some random small villa, the audience would probably laugh them off the screen.
So, the production team used the investor's personal connections to rent a private manor from a wealthy Chinese-Cambodian in Cambodia to shoot these scenes.
She still had over a month of work in Beijing, so she couldn't go without rice at home.
