There are nearly a hundred members in the cast and crew of A Chinese Ghost Story, and if you add the temporarily hired extras, the total easily exceeds a hundred people.
Even calculating based on 100 people, two meals a day require a total of 200 boxed lunches. Originally priced at 30 yuan per box, the basic daily meal expense was 6,000 yuan. Now, with the sudden surge to 55 yuan, that comes to 11,000 yuan—meaning an additional 4,500 yuan has to be paid out.
The scenes involved in this film are basically all located within the Lion Rock Film and Television Base. Without going out on location, the crew will need to stay there for at least a month or more, which means they will have to shell out an extra hundred thousand or two!
